Chapter 805: North and South Monarchs 4

What is the stock price, and why did Li Shouhan change his name and rise by 10%. These things, don't say that the Dolgon brothers are like falling into a fog, even Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou, Ning Wan, and other Hanchen also seem to understand. In desperation, Feng Quan had no choice but to give them literacy with smug contempt in his heart.

"This prospectus is like opening a trading shop, and the money in his hand is not enough, so he takes out some shares to find cooperation with them. How much money you give, how many shares you occupy, and how many dividends you will share when the account period comes. These are also commonplace things among merchants such as Jin merchants and Zhejiang merchants. However, Liang Guogong went further. Xia Guan once heard that as early as the beginning of Hejingcao's creation, Liang Guogong created this system. Anyone who wants to start a factory, a mine, or even build a sea ship can raise shares. This is why Nanzhong has never been short of money to start a business. Moreover, these shares can be traded and circulated in the market. If the transaction is good, everyone is optimistic, the price of the shares is high, and everyone is not optimistic, and the price of the shares is low or even loss-making. ”

Speaking of this, Duoduo couldn't help but suddenly realize, "I see! This is not the same as taking everyone's money to fight for him Li Shouhan! ”

"Lord Yu, you can't say that, as far as the lower officials know, for decades, all kinds of shares in various parts of Nanzhong, from mines and workshops to a fishing boat in the Sea Ship Office, have not said that they have lost money." Feng Quan explained to Duoduo with a smile, but in his heart he was like a lightning bolt calculating how much the market price of his shares in Anyuan was now.

Dolgon is not interested in the stock price or anything, what he cares about is the current situation of this Anyuan Mining Bureau, how much coal, how much pig iron, how much steel can be produced in a year, and how many weapons and armor can be built. What will be the impact on the war between the North and the South?

The yield that Dolgon asked about was exactly what everyone cared about. Chen Banda, who was a messenger who made weapons by smelting iron, was already a little unable to hold back, he used a pen and paper that he didn't know where to find it, and stared at Feng Quan with a pair of small eyes without blinking, lest he miss a sentence and remember a number less.

"It is reported," Feng Quan was also taken aback by the wolf-like eyes of everyone. This kind of look was not seen by those guys in the Hanlin Academy back then, but they saw it in the eyes of the high-level power of the Qing Dynasty. This is probably the difference between the two courts of the Ming and Qing dynasties, right?! He could only try to recall the words in the letter of the same year as he spoke, and at the same time peeked at the words on the prospectus.

"The Anyuan Mining Bureau in Yuanzhou Prefecture wants to administer a coal mine with an annual output of hundreds of thousands of tons of coal, and dozens of coal kilns will be set up under this coal mine for mining. The coal mined from the coal mine is processed into coke in the vicinity, which is used to smelt iron ore. In addition, the nearby mines also produce hundreds of thousands of tons of iron ore every year, sort them, and send them to the smelter for smelting. ”

"The smelter is said to build at least ten blast furnaces for smelting pig iron, four for steel, and six for wrought iron. In addition, in the same year, Xia Guan's family heard rumors in Shanghai that various workshops should be opened nearby to make armor cannons and make various agricultural tools and ironware. ”

When the prospectus appeared in Shanghai, it was stated in the appendix that the Yuanzhou government had recruited tens of thousands of displaced people to work as laborers in mines, mines, and blast furnaces. In addition, in the same year, Xia Guan also exchanged letters with several colleagues in southern Gan to verify that the local Yuanzhou Prefecture had laid tracks in several mines and mines above the fine iron, and transported them back and forth on the tracks by mule-drawn carts, which was twice as effective with half the effort compared with the original road transportation. The tracks are weaving back and forth, crisscrossing and stretching for hundreds of miles. ”

"What!? Yuanzhou Mansion also laid this carriage track? Hong Chengchou's eyes almost popped out, "It seems that Liang Guogong is determined to win this Anyuan Mining Bureau!" The carriage track, such a costly thing, was actually done in this Gannan! ”

What is a carriage track, the high-level people of the Qing Dynasty present don't know, and it is inevitable that Inspector Hong will act as a popular science teacher for everyone, and pour out the second-hand information that his subordinates told him when he was the Ming Inspector.

"At the earliest, this thing was only laid in Guangzhou Prefecture, Shanghai County and other prosperous wharves, in order to facilitate the handling of bulk goods. The fine iron is beaten into a track and laid on the ash road, and the mule pulls the cart to walk on the track, and a carriage can transport thousands of catties of things, and the end is very light and convenient. It's a pity that this material costs a lot, and every mile can't weigh hundreds of catties of high-grade fine iron? Not to mention the ashes and the like! Liang Guogong spared no expense and laid a carriage track in Yuanzhou Mansion, which is enough to prove how much he attaches importance here! ”

"What Lord Hong said is very true, and the students also drew pictures to describe to the students in the same year, which is probably not much different from what the adults said." Feng Quan also nodded yes, praising Hong Chengchou's extensive knowledge. After digging through the book a few times, he found a few drawings and handed them to the attendants, asking Dolgon and the others to look at them.

Different from the current literati painting style, this is a copper engraving, that is, a copper plate is made on the copper plate by means of corrosion, engraving and other means, and then printed with ink, which is more realistic than the woodblock print, of course, the price will be a little more expensive.

On the screen, the blast furnace, the mine, and the iron factory are connected by dense tracks, and there are horse-drawn carriages that transport iron ore, coal and other raw materials to the pig iron furnace in the coking pond, and then transport the processed products to the blast furnace and the iron factory.

"Chen Banda, you bring back a copy. Let your minions ponder it and see if they can be laid out in my Qing Dynasty. It is said that the stone of his mountain can attack jade, but this is the jade in the hands of others, you can attack it for me and see if you can also attack the jade! ”

Chen Ban grinned, and knew that he had taken over the messenger with a bitter smile in his heart. At the beginning, when he was outside the customs, he received the messenger of manufacturing nine turns of steel, but as a result, it took countless manpower and material resources to imitate it, but it was still not allowed to enter. In the end, it was the regent who came forward to intercede with the first emperor, citing the lack of skilled workers and lack of technical support, so the matter was put aside for the time being.

Now the General Administration of Mining of Yuanzhou Mansion, God knows if it is another trick of nine steels? It's a sweet orange in Huainan, but when it comes to us, it becomes a bitter almond?

"Mr. Feng, how much steel does the Anyuan Mining Bureau have to produce and smelt in a year?" Duoduo didn't speak for a long time, but his eyes were closed and his fingers kept scratching on his legs, and he could see that he was calculating something in his mind.

"Back to Prince Yu, according to what Xia Guan said in the same year, at least hundreds of thousands of tons of steel will be produced a year." With this sentence, Dorgon almost didn't fall off the dragon chair. Hundreds of thousands of tons of steel are produced in Yuanzhou Mansion, which can save hundreds of thousands of tons of transportation capacity for the Southern Army! This is not counting, how many armor weapons and cannons can be made from these hundreds of thousands of steel alone, and if they are smashed with these things, they can smash the Qing army in the south and north of the Yangtze River to the point of breaking their heads and bleeding!

"Of course, this is the design capacity mentioned in the prospectus, and it is estimated that in the first year or even the first three to five years, it is good to have 350,000 tons out." Feng Quan didn't quite understand the importance of transportation forces in the military, and he said it very easily. However, these words made Hong Chengchou Dolgon and the others have a wry smile on their faces.

A few days ago, the student sent a letter of peace to the students in the same year. There is a cloud in the letters: now, the ships carrying grain from Guangdong to southern Gan and other places are filled with rivers of all sizes, such as the Gan River and the Fu River, and there are as many displaced refugees as people walking to the Yuanzhou Prefecture as if they were carp crossing the river. Since Li Chuangyu merged with Liang Guogong, the old and weak who had been eliminated in the army were also arranged to serve as leaders at all levels in the mine in Yuanzhou Mansion, and used the Art of War Department to extort laborers. ”

Laying carriage tracks made of fine iron, transporting a large amount of grain to Yuanzhou Mansion, and arranging the old and weak of Li Chuang's subordinates to serve as leaders at all levels in the mines, in just a few words, the information contained in them was more ferocious than that of a thirty-two-pounder cannon. In addition to the construction of road infrastructure in Yuanzhou Mansion, Li Shouhan also prepared a large amount of grain as a material foundation, and prepared backbones at all levels to manage the displaced people and refugees who went to the mines and factories to earn a living!

"This Liang Guogong! If you want to fight the country, then everyone will see the swords, guns and guns on the two armies! There's no reason, what is the State Administration of Mines doing in this Yuanzhou Mansion! Duoduo couldn't help but fire another shot.

"Lord Yu, in this matter, it was you who were careless. According to the slaves, what Liang Guogong did was exactly like the King of Qin back then. ”

"Zheng Guoqu!"

Dorgon said coldly.

It is recorded in historical books such as "Historical Records" and "General Examination of Literature" that Han wanted to exhaust the Qin people, so that there was no eastern expedition, but to make the hydraulic Zheng Guo as the middle of the Qin, and the water was dug from Zhongshan as a canal, and the north mountain, and the east was Zhuluo. In the middle of the work, the Qin people wanted to kill him. Zheng Guo said: "The minister has been Han Yan's life for several years, and it will come to fruition, and it will also be the benefit of Qin for all generations." "It's the work of the pawn. More than 40,000 hectares of land are irrigated with the water of the filling, and the harvest is one acre, and Guanzhong is rich and rich. Since then, Guanzhong has been fertile and wild, and there is no murderous year.

It is recorded in the historical records that six years after the completion of Zheng Guoqu, the Qin State went out of the Guandong and swept away the Guandong countries one by one. The military rations of the conquest of Han Wei, Zhao Yan and other national armies were probably due to the increased grain in Guanzhong after the completion of Zheng Guoqu. It no longer relies on the grain produced by Dujiangyan as the main source of military food for Bashu.

More than 40,000 hectares of land, equivalent to 1.1 million mu, a minute per mu, that is, 100 kilograms now. That's 110 million kilograms per year. This is still the number of income increase in the original saline-alkali wasteland, what about the original fertile land? It's an astronomical amount.

The first to be destroyed by the Qin army was Korea, which advised Qin to repair Zheng Guoqu.

"What does Liang Guogong have to do with King Qin's cultivation of Zheng Guoqu in Yuanzhou Mansion?" Duoduo couldn't keep up with the second brother's train of thought for a while. It is no wonder that existence determines consciousness, and the height and angle of people determine the way to look at problems and solve problems. Two thousand years ago, the ancient Chinese knew the importance of water conservancy, so much so that the Sikong of the Three Princes was in charge of water conservancy. But two thousand years later, there are people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they hand over everything to the so-called market, and you don't see that since these operations began, the flood has risen directly from 100 years to 10,000 years. And in an emergency, the one who can save their house girls is still the people's army who has come forward and succeeded in Shangganling. But this army is precisely the thorn in the side that they want to eliminate the most. At most, their deputies scolded a few bastards on the Jiujiang embankment, and then they should engage in state-owned enterprises, state-owned enterprises, laid-off workers, and laid-off workers. In the news in the past few days, the Wangjiaba of the Huai River has become a hot topic again. can't help but remind the unkind author of the person who was deliberately forgotten for decades, that is, he spared no effort and issued a call for construction to cure the Huai River. So he deserves to be hacked, you do everything well, don't make a big splash, how can we rely on the market to do it? How to get rich? How do we turn someone's daughter into our foot warmer?

"Lord Yu, let the lower officials come and talk about it for you." Hong Chengchou, who had been pondering for a long time, took Feng Quan's words and grabbed a handful of millet from the porcelain jar next to him, which was also used to lay out colors on the map.

"The Yuanzhou Mansion is in Jiangxi, adjacent to the place under the jurisdiction of the governor of southern Gansu. Today, Gannan has become an iron bucket for Li's people. Speaking of this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, fortunately, the light in the hall blocked his face, and no one noticed this change in expression.

"It is said that Wuchang and Hanyang are the thoroughfares of the nine provinces, and Henan is the place of the four wars in the Central Plains. But if you look at this land of Hunan and Jiangxi, you can find that the importance of this place to Liang Guogong even exceeds that of the Central Plains. ”

"Yuanzhou Mansion can be connected to southern Jiangxi in the south, Changsha, Yueyang, Jiujiang in the north, and Nanchang in the east. This area has almost been occupied by Liang Guogong's Chenglong fast son-in-law Shi Lang and Li Chuang's remnants, and the rest is to set up an official government to govern the place to comfort the displaced people and restore agriculture. As he spoke, the millet in his hand was evenly distributed across these regions like a thin golden line.

"It's like Go, I've done a few eyes in the early stage, and with this General Administration of Mines, we can connect together."

In the Fujian official dialect of Inspector Hong's slow and logical manners, Gannan, Biyuan, Jiangxi and other places were gradually covered by millet and turned into a golden yellow. It is connected with the entire rice-covered Liangguang, Fujian, and Nanzhong.

"Your Majesty, with the minister's understanding of him and the style of the Southern Army when he was in contact with Li Shouhan back then, this Anyuan Mining Bureau is bound to start production within the year, and then gradually increase production. The best wrought iron and steel are made of armor and weapons, and the next ones are made of agricultural tools and other daily necessities. These new farming tools will be promoted to the surrounding state capitals on a mandatory basis. ”

"O Buddha!" Chen Banda couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, he had managed Tuntian and other things in Jinzhou and other places, and knew that after the metal farm tools were promoted, deep ploughing and intensive cultivation were no longer difficult, and it was no less than a Shaolin Da Dan to open up the second vein of Ren Du for farmland production.

Over the years, he has long been accustomed to the frenzied investment in industry, agriculture and infrastructure in South Africa, and he is even more accustomed to the huge output that comes with the frenzied investment. He would be surprised if Nanzhong did not invest a large amount of money in a matter involving roads, bridges, water conservancy, mining, shipbuilding, and construction of factories, and did not get huge benefits after investment.

According to the figures Feng Quan said, Li Shouhan raised millions of yuan in silver in the Shanghai Business Zone alone, not counting the upfront cost he had to bear for the grain he paid for, in such a famine and war years, grain was much more valuable than silver! Even if the terrible production capacity that Feng Quan said could not be completed within a year, that is, only a few blast furnaces were opened, and the terrible production capacity of Nanzhong could at least provide sufficient iron farming tools for several nearby provinces in Hunan and Jiangxi within a year.

The role of iron farm tools in agricultural production, others may not know, but he Chen Banda has been in charge of the tuntian, and he can be regarded as understanding the Tao here. "At least, the four or five nearby state capitals will be self-sufficient in grain this year and even have a surplus for export!"

"If it is calculated in a three-year period and 100,000 people, and in terms of Liang Guogong's style of doing things without counting the cost of work, I am afraid that after three years, Huguang, Jiangxi, Gannan and other places will become his iron buckets, not to mention, I am afraid that the southern army will not need to transfer grain and grass from the headquarters of Nanzhong. Huguang and Jiangxi can support military rations. In addition, if a workshop is set up in Yuanzhou Mansion to manufacture firearms and weapons, then the southern army can go north lightly, only bring men and horses, assemble in Yuanzhou Mansion and other places, and go north after receiving weapons. It's so much easier than carrying around a full set of gear! The minister is a native of Fujian, and is familiar with the area of southern Jiangxi, Jiangxi, and Huguang, and the tea, porcelain, cotton, and cloth produced in this area are all sharp weapons for foreign sales. Nanzhong has always been based on agriculture, promoting agriculture with industry, revitalizing commerce with agriculture, and exchanging business with soldiers. That is to say, three years later, the area of Jiangxi, Jiangnan, Huguang and Guangxi will not only be the military rations of the Southern Army, but also the weapons and military salaries. ”

Dorgon was lost in thought again, or his brain was down. Although he does not put on a posture of being studious like Huang Taiji, he is also familiar with the classics and knows the allusions to the political affairs of the previous dynasty. In his opinion, the reason why Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Tang Taizong were able to defeat the Xiongnu Turks for thousands of miles was not so much the achievements of Wei Huo, Li Jing and others, but the credit of Ao Cang and Luokoucang.

In the battle reports and medals played by the generals in front and the archival maps collected by Beijing, he knew that Huguang was a dense network of rivers, and the Yangtze River, the Han River, and Dongting Lake were crisscrossed by it. The land is the most suitable for the growth of food, I don't know when, the slogan "Huguang is ripe for the world" has replaced "Suhu is ripe for the world". Although there has been a risk of flooding all year round for many years, there are still eight major rice-producing areas such as Hanyang, Huangchuan, Changsha, Yuezhou, Lizhou, Baoqing, Changde and Hengzhou. If these grain-producing areas fall into the hands of Liang Guogong, coupled with his crazy construction of water conservancy and crazy promotion of iron farming tools, I am afraid that within three years, the grain output of the entire Huguang will explode to an astonishing level.

"When the time comes, he will use the grain heap and kill me!"
