Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1017

[Chapter 1010 Australia]

Princess Mansion.

She let out a heavy breath when she got the news that Xiao Yi had entered the East Palace, and the Xiao royal family also breathed a sigh of relief.

“The emperor has never established a prince in these years. I have always been worried that the emperor intends to imitate the practices of Western countries. Now that Yi’er has entered the East Palace, people can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”

Picking up the tea cup and blowing lightly, Princess Pingyang revealed A hint of a smile.

Sitting opposite Princess Pingyang were King Yong, Duke Guo of Song, Duke Guo of Tang and other royal family members.

Hearing this, King Yong said: “Pingyang is too worried. No matter how stupid the emperor is, he will never give up his kingdom to others. During this time, I often have contact with Westerners in business. The tricks they play are actually very… In the final analysis, it’s just that the nobles were dissatisfied with the emperor’s authority and rebelled to restrict the emperor’s rights so that they could formulate national policies. As for the so-called popular elections, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can get as many votes as you want.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Everyone burst into laughter.

Tang Guogong said: “No, if this is the case, those wealthy businessmen will really become phoenixes. They have a lot of money. When the time comes, they can just go to a village and throw a little money to be elected as the magistrate. If they throw a little more money, they can be elected as a county magistrate. What’s more, Can a rich man become a governor? “

“Yes, it’s ridiculous. We can’t let the emperor make such a mistake.” Tang Guogong said: “This world belongs to our Xiao family. If others want to get involved, we will. But I won’t agree.”

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Princess Pingyang’s eyes wandered. The battle between Pang Yukun and Fiji was lively in the court. The power of private capital was growing, but everyone seemed to have ignored the Xiao royal family, a firm royalist force.

For them, nothing is more important than preserving the Xiao family.

After taking a sip of tea, Princess Pingyang said: “No matter what, we will support whatever the emperor does. We are all one family, and the emperor treats us well. Although the royal family no longer relies on monthly money to survive, the emperor provides Convenience has made us all richer and richer, and some members of the clan are also famous in the military. This is also a good thing for our royal family. “

Song Guogong couldn’t help but nodded. The royal family was deducted monthly money and sent to the factory. He complained quite a lot when he was working, but now that he has made a fortune through trade in the Chamber of Commerce, his life is more prosperous than before, and his dissatisfaction with Xiao Ming has naturally disappeared.

Tang Guogong said with emotion: “Not only that, the emperor seems to pay more and more attention to our royal family now. The dog Xiao Yue was just transferred to the Electric Power Department by the cabinet yesterday and will soon go to Jinling City to supervise the construction of the thermal power plant. Hehehe…”

Others The person showed a hint of envy. Even a fool could see the future of the power company. The railway company was so profitable, not to mention the electricity that the whole country would need in the future. “

“My son is a regiment leader in the army.

“What’s the big deal? My son is in the Chamber of Commerce, and there is so much money.

“

“

…”

Tang Guogong’s words seemed to make everyone open up their chat boxes, and one by one they began to compare themselves to their own heirs.

The smile on Princess Pingyang’s face became thicker and thicker. Today, because of the prince’s affairs, everyone gathered here. It can be seen that the royal family is the leader. Firm royalist power.

It is probably because of this that Xiao Ming appropriately increased the influence of the royal family.

While the royal family was celebrating, the news of the crown prince was also announced to the world through newspapers. For a time, everyone in the streets and after dinner. It was about the Prince of the East Palace.

However, the popularity of the Prince was replaced by another bombshell news just three days later – Commander Lei Ming of the Southeast Military Region was ordered to attack the British Army in Nanyang, and the first step of the battle plan was to capture Australia

. Attached to the news is an introduction to Australia, as well as Australia’s mineral resources and natural advantages.

For a time, all the attention of the public was focused on this area called the

Qian’s Mining Continent, which is located in the Qingzhou Business District .

There is a building in the center. After the newspaper published the news about Australia, Qian’s mining industry suddenly became lively.

Reputable mine managers from all over Qingzhou came in droves.

“Manager Qian, what is the anthracite and bauxite mentioned in the newspaper?” what? “

In the innermost room of Qian’s Mining, businessmen asked with flattering smiles. This Qian’s Mining is private and was established only five years ago.

But within five years, Qian’s Mining has become The top five mining companies in Qingzhou, and the first four mining companies all have royal backgrounds.

Because of this, the growth of Qian’s Mining has attracted the attention of other businessmen. After some exploration, they found out who the boss of Qian’s Mining was. Qian Dafu’s distant relative.

And who was Qian Dafu? He was a popular figure in front of the emperor. The reputation of Qian’s mining industry spread like wildfire, and it soon became clear that Qian’s mining industry was well-informed about

what kind of mines there were .

Qian’s Mining always has first-hand information on the quality of the mine,

so every time there is major news, many people come to check it out.

“This anthracite is a hard, dense and high-gloss coal variety .

, among all coal varieties, anthracite has a lower calorific value, but has the highest carbon content and the lowest impurity content. It is mainly used for nitrogen fertilizer production. In terms of forging, anthracite powdered coal is mainly used in smelting in the metallurgical industry, which can improve the quality of steel. , In addition, anthracite can also be used in tap water treatment. “

Qian Liang had no reservations about the businessman’s inquiry. Just as the businessmen guessed, the Qian’s mining industry is indeed related to Qian Dafu, but the emperor agreed to this matter as a bonus to Qian Dafu.

However, Although Qian’s Mining is not a government-run company, at Qian Dafu’s request, Qian’s Mining basically fulfills the same obligations as an official company. It is precisely because of this willingness that Qian’s Mining can grow so rapidly.

“With so many functions, It seems to be a great value. “A businessman said in surprise.

Another businessman asked: “What is bauxite?”

Qian Liang replied again: “This thing is amazing. It is said that the School of Chemistry has mastered the technology of electrolytic aluminum. This thing is used to refine aluminum. It is said that aluminum is This material is very important to industry. It can also replace copper in wires and greatly reduce the cost of laying wires. If these bauxite ores are transported back, they will not worry about being able to sell them.”

The merchants’ eyes suddenly became clear because of the transportation conditions. Due to limitations in mining efficiency, government-run mines could not meet the empire’s ore needs, so private mines emerged to make up for the mechanical requirements through manpower.

If the Southeast Military Region can successfully occupy Australia, it can be said that mining the mines here is inevitable, and this is why the businessmen are excited.
