Guo Ye wants to use the first pot of gold in Shanxi coal mine to give the Chinese Empire wings to take off!

"Moreover, don't forget, the three places in the entire Chinese Empire are the richest, the first is the Jin merchants who do business in the world, and the later can count Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong, after all, for two or three hundred years, the accumulation of Shanxi merchants is too strong, and the entire Jin Merchants Group has tens of millions of taels of silver, as long as we encourage them to come up with money to develop coal mines, in a few years, Shanxi will burst out with huge energy that you can't imagine!"

"Your Majesty, even if the Prussians share nearly half of our construction costs, we are still facing great difficulties, for for the two railways alone, we will have to invest 20 million taels of silver in the next five years, and at least 4 million taels a year, which is a huge expense......

Rong Hong felt a throbbing pain in his heart, such a huge investment and short time project, for the Ministry of Finance, the pressure is too great, said with difficulty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Chunfu, even if it is difficult, we have to bear it, since we have introduced Prussian capital, then we have to change the way of investment, from the Ministry of Finance to allocate four million taels of silver, to prepare for the establishment of the first railway company in China, modeled on the British and American system, for the private absorption of share capital, the company's total capital of 15 million taels, a total of 1,500 shares, 10,000 taels per share, in the future railway income, dividends per share every year!" I don't think I can't raise fifteen million taels of silver from the private sector......

Rong Hong's eyes lit up, it is good to prepare for the establishment of a joint-stock company, but this is far from enough, where is there a straightforward way to directly prepare for a stock exchange?

"Your Majesty, since we want to learn from it, then we might as well come directly to a ruthless one, wouldn't it be better to prepare for a stock exchange in the capital? In this way, we can make the most of the huge wealth of the people......"

Rong Hong said urgently.

"Wonderful, haha!"

Guo Ye laughed and said, "If you prepare to build a stock exchange, it will be the best, but now we lack suitable candidates, if Xue Fucheng returns, it can be ......."

"Your Majesty, it won't take long for Xue Fucheng, I can't think of three months, he will return to the capital, we just take advantage of this time to plan this matter with all our might! By the time Xue Fucheng returns, it's time to enter the operation! ”

"Good!"

Guo Ye agreed: "Then do it, Chunfu, the affairs of the joint-stock company and the exchange will all be entrusted to you and Bochen!" ”

Rong Hongdeng was excited, once the exchange is completed, the pressure of the Ministry of Finance on project investment will be greatly reduced, and it can be completely transferred in four or two!

"Lin Yigong, since Prussia has agreed to accept our students, then you should start preparing and select young Junyan from the whole country from the age of twelve to twenty to study in Europe."

Guo Ye looked at Feng Guifen, these days, Feng Guifen is very busy, although the Ministry of Education is not the busiest institution, but the old man is old after all, and he is full of anger, and he is indeed a little powerless to deal with government affairs.

"Your Majesty, the minister will do it immediately, but the minister thinks that this kind of selection of talents is too broad, and the country has a large population, how can it be possible to select suitable talents in a short period of time? It is better for us to select nearby, focusing on the two provinces of Zhili and Shandong, which have a population of 40 or 50 million, which is enough to select hundreds of students; By next year, we can put the focus of continuous selection in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the year after next in Huguang, and so on, the best is ......"

Feng Guifen played.

Guo Ye nodded, the old man is right, the most important thing now is speed, even if it is directly in Shandong and Shandong, you can select enough good candidates, why go to Huguang or even Liangguang to toss?

"Okay, just Yilin Yigong! But you have to remember to be strict and never want a waste! If you find someone who is indiscriminate, you will punish me severely! Everyone gathered in the capital, and then passed the unified assessment of the Ministry of Education, and then they were allowed to go to Prussia! During the study period, each person received a subsidy of thirty taels of silver a year for living expenses, and then selected competent officials from the Ministry of Education and appointed them as superintendents to accompany the delegation to Prussia to supervise the students' studies. ”

Feng Guifen hurriedly agreed, and went down to prepare, the old man was already nearly seventy years old, and it was pitiful to work so hard.

"Bochen!"

Guo Ye shouted.

Guo Songtao hurriedly agreed and looked over.

"Since we want to develop Datong's coal mines, we must be inseparable from the support of Jin merchants, that Qiao Zhiyong, what are you doing now?"

Guo Ye asked.

Guo Songtao hurriedly replied: "Qiao Zhiyong? This guy has to say that he is too shrewd, we set up Qilu Bank, which has his shares, in the past two years, just dividends, he took a lot, at the end of the year, Gyeonggi war, this guy even ran to Jinan, asked me to contact the relationship between Beijing, planning to unite Shanxi businessmen, to prepare a Jinshang bank, it is really there, however, the war has been too fierce in the past few months, his plan to build a bank can only be temporarily put on hold, now the war has passed, presumably it will never come to the capital in a few days, Even if he can't see you, he'll find a way to meet me......"

Guo Ye smiled knowingly, businessmen, which one is not long-sleeved and good at dancing, see the seams, this Qiao Zhiyong not only has accurate vision, but also earns his brain quickly, and now that he has ascended the throne, he is afraid that he will definitely come back to the capital to add some joy to himself. By the way, speaking of banks, in the past two days, Ji Shuai has told himself that Hu Xueyan in Zhejiang also intends to set up a bank, if this is the case, at least the Chinese Empire will have four or five of its own banks, which can completely cover the entire Chinese Empire.

"When Qiao Zhiyong comes, bring him in, I want to meet him, now it's time for them to contribute, the Ministry of Industry is ready to take out a sum of silver, purchase coal mining equipment from Prussia, introduce foreign technology and management personnel, and develop coal mines in Datong with Jin merchants, a business that can make a lot of money, I think Qiao Zhiyong will not give up."

"Don't worry, if you don't say it, I will also bring him into the palace."

Guo Songtao said with a smile.

Guo Ye took a deep breath and said in a loud voice: "Since this is the case, then everyone should follow their own plans and make every effort to promote the affairs in hand, and next, it is time for us to accept the congratulations of ministers from various countries, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is ready?"
