Zhang Tie's words about preparing for the holy war are certainly not empty words, that is, at noon on the second day of the completion of the cemetery for the victims of Eskir City, the five elders of the Ice Giant Bear Tribe and the Spencer family sat down with Zhang Tie again and began to discuss the issue of dealing with the holy war very formally.
Just yesterday, what Zhang Tie said outside Eskir City, it was not only the ordinary people who were affected, the five elders who sat with Zhang Tie, except for Elder Shalin, the faces of the others were not very good.
The meeting took place on a manor house established by the Spencer family outside the city of Eskil, where they had left the cemetery of the victims in Eskil.
This was originally the place where the patriarch of the Spencer family vacationed outside the city, but at this moment, it was the place where Zhang Tie was recuperating from his injuries.
The best cedar wood floor and the chandelier composed of a bunch of four-grade pyramid crystals in the room make this place look luxurious in a low-key way, the superb cedar wood floor in the winter when the faint fragrance of pine leaves naturally emitted, with the breath of the mountains, as long as you take a breath, it makes people have a sense of relaxation, and the natural energy condensed by the crystal chandelier above the head makes the whole room full of a pleasant and energetic energy field.
I have to say that the ruling family of Eskir City, the rulers of the Spencer family, are really good at enjoying it, and the various decorations in such a seemingly ordinary room can't be done without tens of thousands of gold coins.
Just this morning, Zhang Tie took a car around the city of Eskir to see the huge property owned by the entire Spencer family in the city of Eskil.
At the time of yesterday, the ownership of the entire Eskill City, including these huge properties of the Spencer family, had officially completed the transfer to Zhang Tie's name.
Under the witness of the two major tribes and some leading figures in Eskir City, Zhang Tie, Elder Rudolph, Elder Turing, Elder Gulas, Elder Thors, and High Priest of Sarin signed their names on a document, thus representing Zhang Tie himself, the Spencer family, and the Icefield Giant Bear Tribe to officially confirm the current ownership, status, and inheritance rights of the city in the future.
The Spencer family transferred 75% of the ownership of the entire Eskil City and the entire family property to "Peterhanpree", that is, Zhang Tie, and the Spencer family now only retains ownership of all the family's property25.
In the future, Zhang Tie's ownership and property of the Spencer family 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 Icefield Giant Bear Tribe endorsed the document.
In a sense, this document only serves a symbolic role, especially at the top decision-making level of the two tribes, but sometimes, such a symbol is essential, and those words in black and white can make some people feel at ease, and it will also reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
After signing the document, Zhang Tie listened to Elder Rudolph read it for more than ten minutes with an account book-like notebook, before he completely figured out how much the Spencer family 75 had in his hand.
In Eskir City alone, this part of the family includes the annual urban tax surplus of more than 2.8 million gold coins in Eskil City and the income annuity of the entire Spencer family's property and dock of more than 1.7 million gold coins per year.
For the rest, the Spencer family owns more than a dozen large and small merchant groups, hundreds of large and small factories and workshops, dozens of estates and farms, thousands of square kilometers of land with different degrees of development value in and out of the city, and more than a dozen minerals Just listening to Elder Rudolph read these general things, Zhang Tie felt like listening to the book of heaven, and he had a feeling that his head was as big as a fight.
"Just tell me directly, how much money I can directly use every year now, and how many people I can use directly" In the end, Zhang Tie had to interrupt Elder Rudolph.
"In addition to the expenses and accumulations of maintaining the normal operation of Eskil City and the family's various industries, the total amount of funds you can use now is 7,800,000 gold coins per year, and of the more than 13,400,000 people in the entire Eskil City, in addition to the violent institutions such as the city guard and the police, there are 1,260,000 people directly employed by you in your many industries, and after the police and city guards in Eskil City are reorganized, you still have 250,000 city guards and more than 40,000 policemen in your hands.
Everyone else is subject to your jurisdiction and obeys your decrees. ” 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 that represent great power, the material and manpower that Eskill City and the Spencer family can use every year finally made Zhang Tie truly feel the power of the bear-level tribe in the Ice and Snow Wasteland.
Because he didn't have any specific impression of these things, Zhang Tie took a special car around Eskill City this morning to deepen his impression.
In other places, Zhang Tie just took a general look, Zhang Tie mainly looked at only three places, and those three places are now owned by him, one is the Eskier Iron and Steel Plant, one is the Iron Bear Steam Power Company, and the other is the Beifeng Shipyard.
The three most important industrial enterprises of the Spencer family, with the exception of Iron Bear Steam Power, which is located in the city of Eskil, the other two are located in an industrial park called Spies Bay, 30 kilometers east of the city, where the vast majority of the industrial enterprises in the city of Eskir are concentrated.
Iron Bear Steam Power's main products are several pot camel machines ranging from 5 hp to 100 hp.
In this era, this kind of steam engine and boiler together can almost be called man's best friend, this kind of machine, whether in the countryside, cities, or factories, everywhere can let it show its skills, as long as it is connected with the corresponding equipment, it can irrigate farmland, can see wood, can mill rice, drill wells, oil extraction, threshing, road construction, machining and forging, etc., its exhaust steam can also be used as a heat source, used for drying, evaporation, heating.
This machine is not a picky eater, whether it is firewood or coal, it can make it move, except for a slight bulkiness and slow start, this is almost one of the most perfect machines that humans can produce in this era.
In the ice and snow wasteland, as long as there is a place where tribes gather, almost one or two pot ostrich machines can be seen there, even in the kind of place in Kurgan Village, Zhang Tie has seen a small low-speed pot camel machine with 5 horsepower, which is used to drill wells in Kurgan Village.
Iron Bear Steam Power Company produces about 3,000 sets of various pot camel machines every year, mainly sold to the ice and snow wasteland, a small amount to Ewendala, those buses in Eskil City are also produced by this company, the quality is basically acceptable, but the number is not much, With an annual output of 280,000 tonnes of steel, the Eskil Steel Plant is the largest and only steel producer in the entire ice and snow wasteland.
The iron ore that underpins the company comes from an iron ore area of about 156 square kilometers 40 kilometers east of Spies Bay, which has a high-quality open-pit iron ore with reserves of 9.4 billion tons and is very easy to mine.
About 210 kilometres north of Eskil, there is a coal mine with reserves of more than 2 billion tonnes, which is enough to support the steel industry in Eskil.
This coal mine and an iron mine, naturally needless to say, are also Zhang Tie's.
Almost half of the steel products produced by the steel factory in Eskir City are consumed every year, and the Beifeng Shipyard is much larger than the Xinghe Shipyard in Jinhai City, which is much larger than the Xinghe Shipyard in Jinhai City, and already has the ability to manufacture 10,000-ton giant ships, but due to various reasons, it is also limited by the overall backwardness of the industrial development of the entire ice and snow wasteland, and the Beifeng Shipyard and the Eskier City do not have the technical strength to manufacture the key equipment of large ship steam turbines, and the steam turbines required by the Beifeng Shipyard, They were all purchased and assembled from the island of Gantiadu in Ewindala.
This is what Zhang Tie learned about Eskir City, and it is also the current industrial development of the entire Ice and Snow Wasteland, compared to Eskil City, and even including the Ice Plain Giant Bear Tribe, as far as Zhang Tie knows, because of the extremely harsh living environment and the lack of all kinds of materials, each tribe is basically living a life of one-third farming, plus one-third nomadism, and one-third hunting.
Each bear-level tribe in the Ice and Snow Wasteland has a fixed territory, and each tribe lives a relatively backward life within its own territory, and with the exception of Eskir City, almost no tribe has developed a decent industrial system.
For Zhang Tie, who grew up in a city like Black Flame City since he was a child, he knows very well how important the power of steam and steel is to the survival and reproduction of human beings in this era, it can be said that if there is no human industry developed by relying on steam and steel, it is impossible for human beings to support to the end in the first two holy wars.
The saber-toothed beast is very fierce, and the cavalry riding on the saber-toothed beast is also a top hero and a powerful warrior, but the saber-toothed beast is not something that everyone can have, and not everyone can grow into a warrior above level six, for most ordinary people, if a few people can drive a high-performance steam tank or armored car when facing the demons, the power they can exert on the battlefield will not be worse than that of the saber-toothed beast's cavalry "Unleashing 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 can the industrialization of Eskir City and the Ice Giant Bear Tribe go in the future" At the beginning of the meeting, Zhang Tie's first sentence decided the theme of the meeting, relying on industrialization as the beginning of the ice and snow wasteland to deal with the third holy war:
