Chapter 964: The Impact of War
Coal mining is one of the most widely distributed minerals in the world, from south to north, from plateaus to plains, there are patches of black coal seas. The Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, that is, Hasa in the previous life, naturally has no shortage of coal mines. At the same time, there are also a lot of iron ore here, not only rich in reserves, but also far more than similar in China.
As Anxi was incorporated into Lu Qi's hands for a long time, one after another refined iron ore was excavated, which was a big surprise to Lu Qian.
The iron ore found by the exploration team in Anxi is almost all rich ore, and 60% of the iron content is just a basic line, and the high quality makes domestic miners want to cry when they hear it. In particular, in several high-quality mines, the iron ore content is more than 75%, and all of them are easy-to-beneficiate ores.
A few years ago, the Ordnance Superintendent set up a special ordnance foundry in Anxi, and several high-quality bonanzas were designated by the Ordnance Superintendent. And it is also because of this that the casting of weapons called the Lu Qi Dynasty has been greatly improved.
With the same casting process and level, the guns and armor made of good iron and steel are of high quality compared with the same kind made of inferior iron and inferior steel. It's just that Anxi is too far away from the Central Plains, and the transportation is inconvenient, so it has little impact on the ironmaking and metallurgy of the Central Plains. The main influence is on weapons.
The Ordnance Superintendent almost split himself in two, moving all the systems over.
The Golden Leopard has been here for five years.
And now that Tang Long is here again after a few years, his first thing to see is not the factory, but the mine. What's so nice about the military factory? He knows all the technology and equipment inside. It still depends on the mine, which is the foundation of the Second Bureau of Ordnance.
"In the battle of Tianzhu, I did my best in the second game, worked hard, worked hard for the court, and was appreciated by the whole court. In today's battle between the heavens, we must make persistent efforts......"
Tang Long's mouth seemed to be saying clichés, but in fact he was sincere. Now that several years have passed since the original battle of Tianzhu, the performance of the second round of weapons can only be better.
You must know that the division of the ordnance prison into two was Lu Qian's attention, and the essential reason was to build a military industrial base in Anxi and become a favorable backing for the army when it marched westward.
Tang Long's position in the ordnance prison is unshakable, just like Meng Kang's status in shipbuilding, which is at the level of the ancestor master. More than 20 years have passed, and many of the people in power in the ordnance prison are juniors who were introduced by him or brought directly into the industry.
As soon as these words came out, a group of people behind him immediately patted their chests and beat up the package ticket. "Just wait and see, the boys will definitely not disgrace you!"
The entire construction site also cast their eyes on them. A well-dressed person, surrounded by big people in the middle, this is obviously a bigger person.
The chief manager and supervisor of their mine, the people who are so bullish and coaxed on weekdays, can only follow far behind, serving like minions, and anyone who doesn't know the dignity of Tang Long and others will have a stone in their minds.
Walking through the mines, walking through the steel plant, and finally walking into the military factory, Tang Longzhen was like the old leader who had revisited the old place, and came to a very superficial 'inspection'. However, this inspection really gave a shot in the arm to the Second Ordnance Bureau, and cheered up all its people up and down.
At the end of February, in the reserve depot of the Second Ordnance Bureau, batches of weapons and equipment whose quality had been confirmed were greatly satisfied, and Yue Fei and others, who braved the bitter cold and strong winds and arrived in Anxi first, were greatly satisfied.
To fight a war is to fight for money. This sentence is also an unbreakable truth in the current era. It's like the Second Ordnance Bureau, obviously only coal and iron minerals are allocated to them, but they dig gold mines in private, do you really think that the cabinet doesn't know? Do you really think that the Ministry of Industry is not aware at all?
In later generations, Hasa was one of the top 10 countries in the world in terms of gold reserves, and the location of gold mines in the country was scattered, and the Second Ordnance Bureau sold a lot of 'labor' from Tianzhu three years ago in the name of increasing the development of mines, and some of it was used in the gold mines they developed privately.
Twenty percent of the gold dug up was handed over to the Ordnance Supervision Headquarters, and the rest became the internal dividends of the Second Ordnance Bureau.
But did the Cabinet say anything?
No!
It is already an open secret that the military, the government, and even the Ministry of Industry itself are doing the same thing.
So, money is a very important thing.
In a war to destroy the country, all aspects involved will involve the comprehensive strength of the entire country. And the importance of gold and silver is in countless aspects that are involved, and that is also the absolute first.
From the building of armaments, to the salaries of soldiers and soldiers, as well as all kinds of material reserves, as well as rewards and pensions for the dead and disabled soldiers, which can be less money?
Anthy was the front-line bridgehead of the Seljuk campaign, and the materials in reserve were not only armaments and weapons, but also horses, tents, vehicles, salt and sugar, tea bricks, salted meat, cheese, medical supplies, food, and other materials.
Especially after the army entered the Western Regions, all parts of Anxi, even the price of fresh meat in the market rose a lot.
Not only Anxi, but also the Western Regions were also greatly affected.
In the city of Wushi.
Zhao Butry and Zhao Fei had already left, and followed the arrival of King Fu Lu E to Anxi. There were suddenly two big men missing from the house, and it was uncomfortable and tight at first. But life has to go on after all.
Relatives went to the front line, and no matter how worried the rear was, they could only pray silently in their hearts.
Among all the adults in the Zhao family, the one who was least affected was the Great Zhao family. Zhao seems to have made up her mind to take root in the Western Regions, and her mind has long been decided. Now it is her father-in-law and brother-in-law who are on the front line, and it is not her father and her brother who are on the front line. Shed a few tears in front of people, and then sigh and add a trace of concern, it is already okay, and she really wants her to treat her father-in-law as her father and her brother-in-law as her brother-in-law.
"Now that the war has not started, the prices of many things in the market have risen a lot. Thanks to the newspapers, they also preached that it had no impact on the people's market. Da Zhao took the teacup from the maid's hand and said while complaining.
"What's going up? How much can it go up? It's just a few days of work. Zhao seemed to throw the towel back into the basin to wipe his mouth, and the maid took it and retreated, and someone came up with tea.
He didn't feel a change in prices, did he?
At least all kinds of prices in Wushi City are under the control of the government, and if you want to play speculation, beware of the government's iron fist.
Da Zhao gave him a disdainful look, "Yes, I don't even know anything, I just can't buy it." ”
The price of eggs, poultry and fresh meat has not changed at all, and the changes have been realized in the private transactions of 'customers'.
"Do you know how much that fish on the table costs? On the surface, it didn't rise, but in fact? Now a fish can be sold for three of them, and what is even more infuriating is that you can't buy it at a high price. ”
If you think about it on your heels, you can understand why this is.
