At the headquarters of the Huaxia Society, Xia Jun held the first business plan, and Xia Jun gave a business plan to lower the price of mineral resources.

At this time, the world's mineral resources supply is not the kind of long-term cooperation, and many international mineral trades are unstable, which provides a convenient door for long-term prices.

A meeting was also held within the East China Group, which was presided over by Li Shijing, and now the East China Group is managed by Li Shijing.

Xia Jun and Li Shijing often swap positions, and sometimes when Xia Jun wants to smash points to engage in business, he temporarily manages the East China Group, while Li Shijing is responsible for handling government affairs on his behalf. When Xia Jun was engaged in military politics, the East China Group was managed by Li Shijing.

In the internal meeting of the East China Group, it was decided to set aside 1 billion yuan a year as a strategic resource reserve, plus the 500 million Fuxing coins that the political axe produces every year, adding up to 1.5 billion yuan.

It is still the East China Group that has the big head, and the East China Group is now very strong. According to the estimation of China's authoritative appraisal agency, the total assets of East China Group have reached about 20 billion yuan. This algorithm is to include real estate, plant and equipment, etc., not to mention the overseas assets of Huadong Group.

Many of the equipment is already seriously undervalued, because these devices were exchanged by Xia Jun from the exchange platform.

The real available funds of East China Group have also accumulated 5 billion yuan at this time, which is still the result of continuous investment, and the 5 billion yuan does not know where to invest! It is fully capable of devoting 1 billion yuan to strategic resource reserves.

This huge group has the most elite management team in China, as well as the strongest employee loyalty, Li Shijing also laid out a strict system for the East China Group, and the management of the East China Group also made Li Shijing painstaking.

The members of the Huaxia Club who participated in this business plan included economists, major big capital businessmen, and some skilled business workers.

At this time, although most of China's talents are emergency talents, and there are not many top talents, there are still some elites, and these elites are gathered together and begin to discuss how to control global mineral prices for a long time.

At this time, China has a very strong advantage in the price of mineral resources, because China's overseas mining scale is very large, and there are Chinese mines in operation in the Americas, Australia, India, Africa and other places.

The way to control the price of minerals for a long time is very simple, that is, to increase production, and to mine by oneself is first a method, and the second is to use commercial means to carry out the development of mineral resources.

At this time, China's capital had already grown and made a fortune during the wars of the First World War, but there was still a long way to go before it really grew.

These collective coordinated actions in the international market should be carried out frequently, so that China's national capitalists can quickly adapt to the international environment.

and the habit of cluster cooperation, using huge capital to carry out international business.

Soon the meeting planned a relatively long-term strategic resource reserve program and a longitudinal plan, strategic resource reserve program, Zhongsheng Group and Huasheng Group also take out 100 million yuan every year for strategic resource reserves, and other enterprises have also come out a little bit, the ownership of raw materials for these reserves is who pays for it, which is also to cope with the possible future war when the sea line of communication is blocked.

After the meeting, the various groups and enterprises of the Huaxia Association, together with the money from the political axe, gathered a total of 1.8 billion yuan of capital as a strategic resource procurement fund from the end of this year to the end of next year.

Of course, such a huge amount of capital cannot be thrown away at once, which will rapidly raise the prices of various mineral resources.

…… A meeting was held again within the East China Group, which was chaired by Xia Jun, which was a meeting on the group's business expansion, and the industries to be entered were mostly light industry.

East China Group is rarely involved in light industry, and most of the basic industry and heavy industry are the main areas involved in East China Group.

This is actually Xia Jun's suppression of those capitalists who are still stubbornly insisting on the republican faction, and with the advantage of the East China Group, these light industrial enterprises can be quickly crushed.

At the same time, the Zhongsheng Group and the Huasheng Group, which are mainly involved in light industry, also sent representatives to attend the meeting, mainly on how the capitalists involved in the industries that need to be rectified can collectively gain market advantages and have eliminated them.

If you need a technical advantage and make a list, it won't take long for Xia Jun to send the equipment over. If it is necessary to use capital as a means of operation, the three groups will cooperate with each other.

The meeting lasted for nearly two days, and after Xia Jun assigned the task, he flashed, and two days later, the three major groups collectively submitted a rectification plan.

The technical aspects involved made a list, and Xia Jun opened the exchange system, at which time his exchange system had accumulated nearly five billion points.

Xia Jun has not used the points on the exchange platform on a large scale for several months, but at this time, some production areas in China still need Xia Jun's exchange platform to maintain, such as advanced equipment for mining, electrification equipment, etc.

Most of those boiled capitalists are involved in light industry, and the equipment of light industry is the cheapest among industrial equipment, Xia Jun spent 100 million points to redeem all the equipment required on the list.

…… The inspection of Kaifeng, Henan Province also lasted for nearly half a month, during which the inspectors conducted inspections in all aspects, and came to the conclusion that a capital city could be built on the outskirts of Kaifeng, and the construction cost would be very low.

It is that the water resources are not very sufficient, which is the main problem restricting this area, although Kaifeng is close to the Yellow River, but the Yellow River water flow itself is too much.

At the same time, the Yellow River is also not very stable, although the East China political axe has been governing the Yellow River for many years, but it is a palliative but not a cure for the root cause of the embankment reinforcement, which can only be said to be tinkering, so that this river higher than the horizon will not burst the embankment.

If we want to set the capital of Kaifeng, then what needs to be solved is the problem of water resources and the management of the Yellow River.

Xia Jun's plan to build a large reservoir on the Mudanjiang River and then transfer water from the reservoir to Henan has also been investigated, and the conclusion is that the plan is feasible.

As for the governance of the Yellow River, that is a long-term problem.

When the results of the inspection were submitted to Xia Jun, Xia Jun held a meeting again to discuss the issue of the capital again.

The results of this discussion soon came out, since Kaifeng has the conditions to be the capital, then the capital of Henan Kaifeng has been decided by Xia Jun before, and there is no point in opposing it, so the plan for the capital was adopted by collective agreement.

To build a new capital, appropriations must be granted.

And it can't be built in one or two years, at least three years before the capital can be officially moved.

This involves many issues, first of all, in terms of design, the design plan should be taken out, and then according to the design plan to decide how much the project cost is.

"Reservoirs and water-bearing projects, railways, and highways should be repaired first, and traffic problems and water resources problems should be clearly solved first. In addition, the Ministry of Water Resources has proposed an early plan for the management of the Yellow River. Xia Jun knows that harnessing the Yellow River is a national project that must be adhered to for a long time, and the Yellow River problem cannot be solved overnight.

Li Yizhi, Minister of Water Resources, has long studied the problem of the Yellow River, he is a native of Shaanxi, so he has a special feeling for the Yellow River Basin, and his dream is to be able to control the Yellow River well, so he has spent a lot of effort to study, he said to Xia Jun: "The Ministry of Water Resources only needs half a month to come up with an initial detailed treatment plan. ”

"The Yellow River should be treated first, locusts were once epidemic this year, and I don't know if they will emerge again next year." Yan Xishan suggested to Xia Jun.

This year, a large-scale locust plague broke out in the Yellow River basin, and in the end, planes and vehicles were dispatched to spray insecticides to suppress the locusts.

The people in the Yellow River valley have long been threatened by floods, droughts, and locust plagues in the Yellow River, and drought often means locust plagues.

At this time, a new era has been entered, and the peasants can be relieved by the political axe, but it is impossible to reverse it, but the continuous epidemic of locust plague will bring great trouble to the agriculture of the Central Plains.

Later, China solved the problem of the Yellow River locust plague, but the method was large-scale spraying of pesticides, which had a relatively bad impact on the environment.

Of course, spraying pesticides is also the most economical and direct way.

"To control the problem of locusts, we must set up a special department to wage a long-term struggle against locusts." Xia Jun thought about it and gave up directly using insecticides to exterminate locusts, but decided to set up a professional department first.

The means of controlling locusts have existed since ancient times, and if we conscientiously adopt the plan of our ancestors to control locusts, we can suppress the locusts, and although we cannot completely eliminate the locusts, we can also make the locusts unable to form a locust plague.

The locust plague has only formed, first of all, the dry weather has caused a large number of locust eggs to hatch successfully, and the drought has reduced the vegetation under the drought, and the locust food has also decreased. Locusts have territorial surnames, once the food in their territory is not enough, they will run to other locusts, but when the density of locusts in an area reaches a certain level, after the collision of the body, the locusts that were originally not in group action will act in groups, so that it is like a snowball rolling bigger and bigger, and the vegetation in the swept place is eaten up, which is inevitable.

After the meeting, the Imperial Government Axe hired several top ethnic city designers, as well as various planners, to go to the Kaifeng area to investigate the detailed design of the capital.

According to Xia Jun's requirements, as the capital of the empire, it must first have a distinctive national style and a certain degree of shocking effect.

Although a country's political axe should be thrifty first, but after all, this is also a matter of face, in the future, China will face the world, or to compete for the hegemony of the world hegemon, in this new capital, at least to come up with something commendable, so as not to fall into the prestige of the Celestial Empire.

How to make people praised, there are many ways to do this, for example, if you are rich, then you will build luxury, but it is obviously not in line with the current concept of the empire, and if you make luxury without technology, it is purely a nouveau riche.
