The chaos in Hanfeng City will eventually calm down, and Zhou Qingfeng did not want to focus too much on the internal struggle of these powerful people. After digging out the secret room of the Supervision Office's ruins, he led his team out of Hanfeng City and entered Fabro Manor outside the city.

As the "Alchemy Chief", Fabro has a territory in Hanfeng City. However, he is not good at managing and only used a small part of the territory to build a manor. There were only more than 300 people in the manor, mainly serving Fabro.

But Fabro's territory is actually quite large, with a total area of ​​seven or eight square kilometers. Five kilometers north of Hanfeng City, the vast wilderness, rivers, hills, and woodland belong to this "alchemy chief" and now belongs to Zhou Qingfeng.

Standing on the hillside of the manor, you can see the edge of the black forest in the distance and the towering ice fields. The melting glaciers on the mountains gather into a river and meander through this place.

The terrain here is flat, the land is fertile, and the water source is sufficient. If you are careful, you can reclaim thousands of acres of arable land and feed tens of thousands of people.

In the sun, the wind is cold but extremely refreshing. Facing this new territory, Zhou Qingfeng sighed: "Fabrou, a waste of treasure, has a treasure land but does not know how to use it, wasting the land and water here in vain.

From today on, this place will be renamed "Fuqiang Autonomous Dominion". I am the lord of this place. The government agencies of Harmony Village will be moved here.

Shili, Rubio, Wilson, I appoint you as the chief and secondary officials of the 'rich and strong leader'. You will build the management structure."

Behind Zhou Qingfeng, everyone in the Harmonious Village system gathered and accepted the lord's appointment in turn. Designated officials must be arranged for government affairs, military affairs, agriculture, commercial trade, medical and health care, engineering construction, education and training, etc.

"I mobilized the backbone from Harmony Village and placed all the thousands of refugees recruited before here. It is winter now, and before the spring next year, I will build enough houses, dams, ditches, farmland, and workshops here.

We started our business in the Black Forest, but we made our fortune here. As long as we develop safely for two years, grain, cloth, wood, mines, and iron tools will no longer be scarce. The entire Northland will be our expansion space."

Speaking of the excitement, Zhou Qingfeng whipped up and rode his horse. Everyone surrounded him and followed closely. The iron hooves rolled all the way and were full of energy. When he arrived outside the manor, the original manor housekeeper knelt on his way with more than 300 servants.

Zhou Qingfeng looked down on the horse's back and laughed loudly. He was no longer a local bun from the Black Forest, but from then on he was a real nobleman in power - capable, fame, and territory, and no one could be despised.

After killing Fabro, Zhou Qingfeng led the team to clean up the abyss sacrifices, and only then did he have time to count his gains. Rubio whispered to him: "Master, Fabro's manor is not very crowded, but he is doing a lot of business."

"Alchemy Chief", it is natural to make money. Fabro manufactures and sells potions and magic items himself, and his subordinates will not be idle.

"Do you do grain business?" What Zhou Qingfeng is most concerned about is grain.

The grain yield in other worlds is low and agricultural technology is backward. The northern land is particularly bitter and cold, and can only cultivate for one season a year, and the average wheat yield per mu is only a few dozen kilograms. Farmers have to plant some miscellaneous grains to make ends meet, and residents are generally malnourished.

"No." Rubio shook his head, "Fabro monopolized half of the precious metal mines around Hanfeng City. Especially the river in his territory is a treasure.

Bruno of the forging site said that the river flowed out of the icefield mountains and became smooth here. A large amount of gold sand precipitated from the silt at the bottom of the river, and there must be a large gold mine at the source of the river."

Gold Mine?!

Zhou Qingfeng was shocked.

Fabro raised more than 300 slaves, half of whom were engaged in gold digging. In the cold winter, he had to screen the golden sand in the cold river water. The screened golden sand was filled with small glass bottles, and the yellow one was very beautiful.

Because Zhou Qingfeng came very quickly, he had strong control afterwards. There was no turmoil in the manor, and all the buildings and property were preserved. Rubio presented the bottles of gold sand in stock like treasures, shining brightly in the sun.

"Arsi." Zhou Qingfeng called out softly.

The mechanical magic girl came forward to take the glass bottle containing gold sand, poured out a little and decided a little, nodded and said, "Master, this is indeed gold sand, with a high taste. I can conduct systematic exploration of the entire river in the territory, and there should be more discoveries.

Once we discover mines, we have better technology to separate and screen, so we don’t need slaves to work with their hands, and the mining efficiency is even higher. I think this place is afraid that there is not only gold, but other minerals.”

In mining, the efficiency of using machinery is hundreds, thousands,000,000 times that of manual labor. Even if you use a centrifuge, you can easily screen out minerals of different specific gravity.

Hahaha... Zhou Qingfeng scratched his head with a smile, "Although I am not short of money, no one will dislike the amount of gold in his hands."

Gold is a common hard currency. It is more precious than it, and it is not as valuable as it is larger than it is. It is not as precious as it is. Whether in other worlds or in reality, gold has good liquidity.

Rubio also pleased him, "Master, Fabro was originally the largest coin minting merchant in Hanfeng City. He used the golden sand in the river to mint the currency, and he was so rich that he was rich."

Fabro was finished, and Zhou Qingfeng got all the legacy. Gold is also a kind of magic metal. Just in the underground alchemy laboratory of the manor, more than 500,000 gold coins were found.

Well... Zhou Qingfeng nodded heavily when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "We will also do the work of minting coins in the future. But don't let gold flow out. We will try our best to promote our 'platinum coins' and can be exchanged with gold coins in a similar way."

Zhou Qingfeng used the real world cheap silver to exchange for gold from Hanfeng City, and at the same time promoted cheaper "iron coins" and "platinum coins".

The "iron coins" made of stainless steel are very popular. The civilian class lacks "general currency". It has long hoped that there will be a auxiliary currency with a lower value than copper coins.

But compared with the "iron coins", the "platinum coins" promoted by Zhou Qingfeng are not very recognized. His "platinum coins" are not platinum, but aluminum-zinc alloy. They are the "cent" coins in the real world.

It's a cheating father!

Aluminum-zinc alloy has a low density and is light and light to give people a low-end feeling. However, aluminum has its own characteristics and it must be electrolyzed to obtain it on a large scale.

Don’t expect ‘electrolysis’ in other worlds, aluminum is an authentic precious metal.

Zhou Qingfeng wanted to get a lot of gold by exchange, but the aluminum-zinc alloy was generally resisted. So he could only..., "In the future, our platinum coins and gold coins will be exchanged one to one. Ten to one is indeed too unscrupulous."

Rubio was confused, but he also knew that his master's "platinum coins" were probably inferior. Arsey and other strange maids knew that "platinum coins" were not just inferior. In the real world, even doors and windows were quickly made of aluminum.

"We have the ability to mint coins, so we can still open banks in the future. The usury in Hanfeng City is too terrible now, which seriously hinders the development of business and economy. The banks we open can use low-interest loans to win over merchants.

The interest rate should not be too high, the annual interest rate should be as long as it does not exceed 36%. "Zhou Qingfeng was happy. Everyone else felt that the interest rate was really low, and only the strange maids rolled their eyes one by one.
Chapter completed!
