104 Development of heavy industry
"Do you want to take out a loan to build the road and pay it back when the court has the money?" Liu Hong immediately denied it, such a method is not a long-term strategy, if you can not use it, don't use it. "But if you don't take out a loan, how can you build a road?"
Liu Hong was thinking about it, Hu Zhao knew that Liu Hong was not satisfied with his method, so he said again: "Your Majesty, if you don't want to collect road tolls, you can also use freight stations and long-distance stations to attract investment." Only those who are involved in road construction can operate long-distance transportation. And the division of shares according to the roads he built should also be solved. ”
"Well, that's a good idea."
There are many railways in later generations, which were built according to this method, and should be able to solve this problem. Now, Liu Hong can be regarded as convinced of Hu Zhao, an absolutely capable person, and his flexibility is too strong.
Long-distance transportation has been solved, and Liu Hong has not forgotten the traffic in the city. This does not need to build roads, and it can be opened with a bus, and its formation will be much easier.
Hydrogen boats are dangerous, but they must be used. In mountainous areas and inaccessible places, it is definitely a weapon. So Liu Hong got a lot of airports to dock airships, this airport is very simple, in fact, it is an open space, but it doesn't cost anything. And because it is not very safe, it is only used in mountainous areas and places where transportation is extremely inconvenient, and in other places, it can only be used after helium boats and airplanes are made.
If you want to talk about the large volume of transportation, it has to be the train. Liu Hong had already figured out the train, and his steel mill in Hejian and the iron ore in Haixing were transported by train.
But Liu Hong's current train uses a steam engine, which is too polluting. Liu Hong originally thought that after the internal combustion engine was transformed, he would directly use the internal combustion engine. But that thing is not so easy to modify, and now it seems that in the short term, the power of the internal combustion engine still can't bring the train.
For a long time after that, the Han Dynasty was in the period of immigration, and transportation became extremely important. In comparison, even if the steam engine is a little polluting, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. So Liu Hong decided to use the steam engine first, and then replace it when the internal combustion engine matured.
To use trains, you have to build railways, and to build railways, you have to use a lot of steel. With Liu Hong's current steel production of these blast furnaces, it will definitely not be able to meet the use of railways.
In order to be able to build railways quickly, it is necessary to develop a large number of steel industries. The Han Dynasty implemented a monopoly on salt and iron, and Liu Hong had already liberalized the salt industry, and now he plans to open up the mineral industry as well.
However, these heavy industries are related to the lifeblood of the country, and they cannot be controlled by others. Therefore, although Liu Hong has liberalized these industries, the business audit of these industries is strict.
Heavy industry is more expensive, especially when the scale becomes larger in the future. Therefore, it is difficult to develop the lifting industry with the strength of individuals alone. After Liu Hong's consideration, it was decided to implement a joint-stock system for heavy industry.
However, although the shareholding system is implemented, Liu Hong must ensure that he can control the shares, so as to promote the development of heavy industry and not be the lifeblood of others.
This thing is not difficult to do, after all, almost all the current mining mines are in the hands of the imperial court, and the imperial court uses the mine as a shareholder to set up a joint-stock factory, and it can definitely achieve control.
Although the imperial court controlled the factory, he did not manage the factory. The management of the factory is managed by recruiting professional managers. The imperial court only regularly sent people to check the accounts and prohibit acts that endangered the integrity of the state.
There are so many mines in total, the imperial court holds a part, and the royal family controls a part, which basically ensures national security, coupled with a strict review of management rights, even if heavy industry is released, it is not a big deal.
The development of heavy industry is inseparable from mines, so it is best to build factories as close to mines as possible.
The mines discovered in the past were all owned by the imperial court, and the imperial court naturally held the majority of the shares. However, Liu Hong is the emperor and has a special identity, and he is in the hands of the imperial court and has grabbed part of the equity. Coupled with Liu Hong's own investment, he can also become a major shareholder in those factories.
And now, the mines that have not yet been discovered, according to the new regulations, on whose land they are, will be owned by whomever they are. Liu Hong traveled through later generations and knew a large number of undiscovered mines. Moreover, almost all of these mines, in the territory of Dahan, were bought by Liu Hong a long time ago. Therefore, the smelters built in these places are basically controlled by Liu Hong.
All the family gate valves know that mines and smelters are a lucrative industry, so they are desperately trying to mix in it. But among them, except for a few who were lucky, found mines in their land. Others, if they want to join the industry, they all have to hemorrhage.
Although Liu Hong has a lot of mines and can save a lot of money, even so, he can't build so many smelters on his own. Originally, Liu Hong wanted to attract investment in an all-round way, but when he saw that this industry was so attractive, he realized that this was a good opportunity to buy people's hearts.
The chamber of commerce established by Liu Hong is crowded today, and it is not as deserted as usual. Because they were given notice to come here for a meeting.
"Brother Zhang, you are so uninteresting, you have become a first-class businessman, and you don't know how to invite a guest, you really don't treat everyone as a brother."
"Brother Wang, didn't the younger brother just get a first-class businessman, what's the big deal. If you hadn't spent all your money on marrying a concubine, you would have become a first-class businessman. ”
"That's right, Brother Wang, I heard that a few days ago, you married the thirty-fifth concubine. You marry so much, can you do it? ”
"I said the surname Sun, aren't you talking nonsense, of course Lao Tzu can do it."
"Okay, let's stop making trouble, if we continue to make trouble, we will hurt the peace." Hearing that the more he said, the more unpleasant it became, someone immediately stepped forward to stop it.
At this time, the person surnamed Sun no longer stimulated the person surnamed Wang, and said to the person surnamed Zhang: "Brother Zhang, our Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as the ancestor of the association." However, other industry associations are all vigorously developing and desperately pulling people, but our chamber of commerce, why has there been no movement at all? ”
"Brother Sun, our Chamber of Commerce was established by His Majesty, so can anyone come in? We are all descendants approved by His Majesty, and other people, if they don't have His Majesty's approval, they will definitely not be able to enter. ”
"But if the Chamber of Commerce doesn't develop, it's not a thing, right? There's not much business for us to choose from, huh? ”
"Don't worry about this, since it is a descendant, when there is a good thing, of course Your Majesty has to follow us first. Today's meeting, I think that's what it's for. ”
This person guessed really right, of course, if there is a good thing, you must first focus on your own people, otherwise when you need someone to work hard, who will pay attention to you.
Just as those people were talking, Liu Zhong arrived. Now Liu Zhong is not ordinary, not only a marquis, but also the chief of the internal affairs office ordered by Liu Hongqin, responsible for all the internal affairs of the royal family, and a real powerful person.
After he came, he didn't talk nonsense, and immediately took out the investment promotion reports of those smelters.
These people were taken aback when they saw the report. They all knew that Liu Hong was magical, but they didn't think that Liu Hong was magical to this point. He found many more mines by himself than anyone else in the world over the years.
Moreover, Liu Hong's shareholding conditions for these smelters are much more favorable than those outside. This time, these people firmly followed Liu Hong's attitude.
