Castle of Black Iron

Zhang Tie’s words of preparing for the holy war are of course not empty words, that is, at noon on the second day of the construction of the Eskil’s Cemetery, the five elders of the Ice Bear Tribe and the Spencer family Sitting with Zhang Tie again, they started a very formal discussion about how to deal with jihad.

Just yesterday, what Zhang Tie said outside the city of Eskildo was not only affected by ordinary people, but the five elders sitting with Zhang Tie, except for Elder Sharin. People's faces are not very good.

This meeting was held in a manor established by the Spencer family outside of Eskil City. After leaving the cemetery of the victims in Eskil City, everyone came here.

This place was originally the holiday place outside the city for the Spencer family patriarch, but at this moment, it is the place where Zhang Tie recuperates.

The top-quality cedar wood floor and the chandelier composed of a pile of four-grade pyramid crystals in the room make this place look luxurious in a low key. The top-quality cedar wood floor naturally emits the faint pine leaf fragrance when winter comes. With the breath of the mountains, just one breath will give people a sense of relaxation, and the natural energy condensed by the crystal chandelier above the head makes the whole room full of pleasure And dynamic energy field.

It has to be said that the ruling family of Eskil City and those in power in Spencer's family will really enjoy it. The various decorations in such a seemingly ordinary room can't be achieved without tens of thousands of gold coins.

Just this morning, Zhang Tie drove around Eskil City in a car to see the huge industry owned by the entire Spencer family in Eskil City. Yesterday, the entire city of Eskilde, including the ownership of these huge properties of the Spencer family, had officially completed the transfer to Zhang Tie's name.

Witnessed by the two great tribes and some leading figures in Eskil’s City, Zhang Tie, Elder Rudolph, Elder Turing, and Elder Gulaas, Elder Thors, and High Priest of Sarin were in separate copies. The document signed his name on behalf of Zhang Tie, the Spencer family, and the Ice Bear Tribe formally confirmed the current ownership, status, and inheritance rights of the city, etc. problem.

The Spencer family transferred 75% of the entire Esquill City under their control and the ownership of the entire family property to "Peter Hampres"-that is, under the name of Zhang Tie. The Spencer family now only maintains 25% ownership of family-owned properties.

In the future, the ownership and property of this part of the Spencer family owned by Zhang Tie will be inherited by a child born to him and a woman of the Spencer family, who will also be the patriarch of the Spencer family in the future.

The elders of the Ice Bear Tribe approved of this document.

In a sense, this document only plays a symbolic role, especially when it reaches the top decision-making level of the two tribes, but sometimes, such a symbol is indispensable. Those words in black and white can Reassuring some people will also reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After signing the document, Zhang Tie listened to Elder Rudolph holding a book-like book there and reading it for more than ten minutes, only to fully understand that the 75% of the Spencer family he held in his hand had How many.

In Eskil City alone, this part of the family property includes Eskil City’s annual city tax surplus of more than 2.8 million gold coins and the entire Spencer family’s annual property and terminal income annuities of more than 1.7 million gold coins.

The rest, the Spencer family owned more than a dozen business associations, hundreds of factories and workshops, dozens of manors and farms, and thousands of them with varying degrees of development value in and outside the city. Square kilometers of land, there are more than ten minerals...

Just after listening to Elder Rudolph read these general things, Zhang Tie felt like he was listening to the heavenly script, with a head like a fight.

"Just tell me directly, how much money can I use directly every year, and how many people can directly use it?" In the end, Zhang Tie had to interrupt Elder Rudolph.

"Except for the various expenses and accumulations of maintaining the normal operation of Eskil City and the various industries of the family, the total amount of funds you can use each year is 7.8 million gold coins, and there are more than 13.4 million people in Eskil City. In addition to the violent agencies such as the city guards and police, in many of your industries, there are 1.26 million people directly employed by you. After the reorganization of the police and city guards in Eskil There are also 250,000 city guards and more than 40,000 police officers. Everyone else is under your jurisdiction and must abide by your laws."

Zhang Tie understood. He remembered two numbers, 7.8 million gold coins and a total of more than 1.5 million people who listened to his orders. These are two numbers representing great power. The Eskiltown and the Spencer family can each year The material and manpower used finally made Zhang Tie truly feel the strength of the bear-level tribe on the ice wasteland.

Because he didn't have any concrete impressions of these things, Zhang Tie took a special car ride around Eskildo this morning to deepen his impression.

In other places, Zhang Tie just looked around. Zhang Tie mainly looked at only three places. Those three places are now owned by him-one is Eskil Steel Plant and the other is Tiexiong Steam Power Company, and the other is Beifeng Shipyard.

The three most important industrial enterprises under the Spencer family, except for the Iron Bear Steam Power Company, which is located in Eskil City, the other two companies are located 30 kilometers east of Eskil City, which is called Spee. In the industrial park of Yas Bay, where, most of the industrial enterprises in Eskil City are concentrated.

The main products of Tiexiong Steam Power Company are several types of pan-camel engines ranging from 5 horsepower to 100 horsepower.

In this era, this kind of boiler that connects the steam engine and the boiler can almost be regarded as the best friend of mankind. This kind of machine, whether it is in the countryside, the city, or the factory, can be used everywhere. As long as it is connected with corresponding equipment, it can irrigate farmland, saw wood, mill rice, dig wells, press oil, threshing, build roads, mechanical processing and forging, etc. Its exhaust steam can also be used as a heat source. Used for drying, evaporation, and heating.

This kind of machine is not picky about food. Whether it is firewood or coal, it can be made to move. In addition to being slightly bulky and slow to start, it is almost one of the most perfect machines that humans can produce in this era.

Tiexiong Steam Power Company produces several pot casserole machines, which are exported to the entire ice and snow wasteland. In the ice and snow wasteland, as long as there are places where tribes gather, you can almost see one or two pot cassow machines there, even in the library. In places like Ergan Village, Zhang Tie has seen a small 5-horsepower low-speed pan camel machine. That machine was used to drill wells in Kurgan Village.

Tiexiong Steam Power Company produces about 3,000 sets of various pan-camel machines each year, which are mainly sold to the ice and snow wasteland, and a small amount are sold to Evandala. The buses in Eskil city are also produced by this company. Yes, the quality is basically decent, but the quantity is not large,

With an annual output of 280,000 tons of steel, the Eskil Steel Plant is the largest and only steel production enterprise in the entire ice wasteland.

The iron ore that supports this enterprise comes from an iron ore area of ​​about 156 square kilometers, 40 kilometers east of Sbias Bay. This iron ore area has a high-quality open-pit iron ore with reserves of 940 million tons. , Mining is very easy. About 210 kilometers north of Eskil City, there is a coal mine with reserves of more than 2 billion tons, which is enough to support the coal demand of Eskil City's steel industry.

This coal mine and an iron mine, naturally needless to say, are also Zhang Tie's.

Every year, the Beifeng Shipyard consumes almost half of the steel products shipped from the steel plant in Eskil City. The scale of this shipyard is much larger than that of Grandpa Zhang Tie’s Galaxy Shipyard in Jinhai City. However, due to various reasons, it is also restricted by the overall backwardness of the industrial development of the entire ice and snow wasteland. Neither Beifeng Shipyard nor Eskil City has the technical strength to manufacture key equipment for large-scale ship steam turbines. The steam turbines needed by the sailboat yard were all purchased and assembled from Gantiadu Island in Evandala.

This is what Zhang Tie learned about Eskil City and the current industrial development of the entire Ice Wasteland. Compared with Eskil City, even including the Giant Ice Bear Tribe, as far as Zhang Tie knows, because of survival With the extreme harshness of the environment and the lack of various materials, all tribes are basically living a life of one-third of farming, one-third of nomadism, and one-third of hunting.

Each bear-level tribe in the Ice Wasteland has a fixed territory, and each tribe leads a relatively backward life in its own territory. Except for Eskil City, almost no tribe has developed a decent industry. system.

This situation made Zhang Tie feel particularly heavy. For Zhang Tie, who grew up in a city like Heiyan City, he knew very well how important the power of steam and steel is to the survival and reproduction of mankind in this era. It can be said that without the human industry developed by relying on steam and steel, it would be impossible for mankind to sustain it to the end in the first two holy wars.

Sabertooth beasts are very fierce. The cavalry who ride on Sabretooth beasts are also top heroes and powerful warriors, but not everyone can have Sabretooth beasts, and not everyone can grow to a level 6 or higher. Warriors, for most ordinary people, if they can drive a high-performance steam tank or armored vehicle with a few people when facing the demon, their power on the battlefield will not be more powerful than that of the sabertooth. Cavalry...

...

"Using the power of steel and steam is the most reliable and effective way for us to deal with the threat of the demons. I want to know how far Eskil City and the Ice Giant Bear Tribe can go in the future industrialization?" The meeting began. , Zhang Tie’s first sentence determined the theme of this conference, relying on industrialization as the beginning of the third holy war against the ice and snow wasteland...
