Chapter 592: The Location of the Center of Heavy Industry

The princes of the clan and the factory owners not only quieted down, but all of them spontaneously stood up from the official hat chair and stood waiting for Zhu Shun's arrival.

Zhu Shun walked to the platform on the first floor of the workers' hall, glanced around, pressed down with his hands, and motioned for everyone in front of him to sit down.

The princes of the clan and the factory owners all sat down willingly under the influence of a gesture.

At this moment.

The princes of the Fu Dynasty, the Prince of Longwu, the Prince of Gui and other clans suddenly had an illusion.

Standing in front of him is not an industrial marquis, but a Ninety-Five Honor who decides the life and death of countless people, or even more noble than the Ninety-Five.

Because Zhu Shun is an industrial saint who can keep pace with the Confucian saint in the future, the emperor is nothing in front of this kind of saint.

Zhu Shun waited until everyone sat down, and said calmly: "Calling you over this time is a very important announcement. ”

"As you already know, the high-pressure steam engine has been developed."

The outsiders of the Donglin Party did not know what the success of the high-pressure steam engine meant, but the factory owners and the princes of the clan knew too well that it meant that the Industrial Revolution had finally reached the middle stage.

Not only is it a great significance for the industrial faction, but more importantly, it can carry out a comprehensive capacity upgrade for the steam plant.

The princes of the clan can also follow behind and enjoy the dividends of industrialization, attack those Westerners with more advanced ships and artillery, and establish a vassal state belonging to the Ming Dynasty in the South Seas.

When the princes of the feudal lords and the factory owners heard of this great news, they were all boiling and could not help but cheer.

They knew that now was not the time to cheer, and that what was more important now was the three major industrial centers, and that they could go back and drink for three days and three nights after this incident.

Zhu Shun looked at the cheering crowd, a smile appeared on his calm face, and he waited for a cup of tea.

Give them plenty of time to cheer, of course, this cheering for a cup of tea is far from enough for everyone.

However, he could only wait for this matter to pass before cheering, because there were more important things to do today, Zhu Shun pressed down with his hands again.

In the boiling workers' hall, it soon returned to quiet, and Zhu Shun said calmly: "Next, we will establish the three major industrial centers." ”

"The myriad interests involved in these three industrial centers, especially for the local people, are simply a mountain of gold and silver for their hands."

"But there is an ugly saying ahead, don't try to persuade Ben Hou to go to your hometown to establish an industrial center, this industrial center will only be built on the most favorable conditions of industry."

"If anyone wants to persuade Ben Hou, then stand up and quit by himself, the industrial faction does not need such selfish people."

Although it was an ugly thing, none of the factory owners thought it was an ugly thing, but took it for granted.

Because the most important thing now is to set off the industrial revolution in the Ming Dynasty and completely complete the industrial revolution.

Personal honor and disgrace and interests are no longer important, if anyone has such selfish intentions, there is no need for Zhu Shun himself to say that other factory owners will drive him out.

The princes of the vassal kings didn't care even more, they would go to places other than the Ming Dynasty to establish vassal states in the future, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty would become local nobles.

Wherever the industrialists want to build industrial centers, it is the same for them, and they are happy as long as they can build them.

The only purpose of the princes of the feudal lords coming this time is to get more shares of ore raw materials after the industrial faction has carried out comprehensive industrial upgrading.

Although these are only some of the most unskilled industries, once fixed, they will only become the raw material collection and dumping of industrial products by the industrial faction in the future.

The princes of the feudal kingdoms don't care, anyway, it is those Nanyang people and Westerners who suffer hardships, and everyone is a nobleman after the Ming people.

There is no need for those cutting-edge industries to make all the people live, as long as the common people of the Ming Dynasty can live an aristocratic life, as for those Westerners and Nanyangs, as long as they promise not to starve to death.

Zhu Shun also knew that after he said this, the factory owners would not have any objections, but there were still some things to say.

The ugly words have been finished, and Zhu Shun is about to say beautiful things next, but this beautiful words are beautiful words for industry: "First of all, the establishment of a heavy industry center, the establishment of a heavy industry center, needs to meet eight requirements. ”

"First, the vicinity of the center of heavy industry is rich in natural resources and has good conditions for the supply of raw materials."

"Second, the proximity to the fuel power base ensures that the energy supply is guaranteed."

"Third, the water source conditions are good, which can meet the needs of industrial development."

"Fourth, convenient transportation."

"Fifth, the source of labor is guaranteed."

"Sixth, get close to the market."

"Seventh, the technical foundation is relatively strong."

"Finally, there's the political environment."

After Zhu Shun finished saying these eight requirements, all the factory owners thought of a place in their minds, that is, the industrial city where they are now located.

Although they are all steam factories, the steam engines used in heavy industry consume much more coal than those used in light industry.

In the north of the industrial city, there is a large area of Jingxi coal mines, and the distance along the Yongding River is only twenty or thirty miles, and coal can be transported into the industrial city in a steady stream.

Not to mention the water source, the Yongding River is one of the largest water veins north of the Yellow River, flowing through several provinces.

In terms of transportation, it is also very convenient, Yongding River connects the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and has been connected to the future Tianjin Port.

The industrial goods produced in the heavy industry center can be transported all the way to the future port of Tianjin through convenient shipping.

Water transportation is the most convenient mode of transportation, not only does it carry more things, but ships are also faster than mule-horse carts.

Especially for the huge output of industrial products, water transportation is very important, coupled with the upcoming construction of the port road.

The cost of logistics, which determines the final price of industrial products, will be reduced to a very low level, and the factory owners and feudal princes will be able to earn more silver.

Don't worry about the source of labor, whether it is the capital or the Shuntianfu where the capital is located, it is one of the most densely populated places in the Ming Dynasty.

There is no need to worry about the labor problem at all, even if the expansion rate is too fast, there is not so much labor, because of the Donglin Party, there are still many displaced people in Daming who can't eat.

It is completely possible to recruit these displaced people to become industrial workers, and at the same time, let the common people live a good life of food and clothing.

Approaching the market is the least thing to worry about, and there is no place in the world where there are more powerful people than the capital.

A large part of the Donglin Party members are wealthy families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they don't know how much silver they earn from Nanyang every year, and they all have thousands of dollars in their pockets.

The industrial faction will also make the most money from the industrial products produced by them.
