Yang Wangye, who took Nanjing, didn't care about enjoying the joy of victory in the Forbidden City, and left his capital non-stop to go to the next battlefield. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He must end the battle of Beijing before the typhoon season arrives, otherwise it will be difficult for him to maintain a large-scale campaign at sea, after all, he does not have the ability to forecast the weather, and those sailing ships are very dangerous in the event of a typhoon at sea, and it is inevitable that his fleet will run into it during a round trip in the Chinese summer.

That's why he didn't go north until late autumn.

As for the southern battlefield, there is no major matter, Jiangnan has no Qing army capable of launching an offensive, only the governors of the provinces are left to protect themselves, and he has no intention of expanding his territory in the short term, after all, his territory is all about compulsory education and economic construction, and the more places he seizes now, the heavier the burden on himself. And after he seized Nanjing, the people in the nearby Dangtu, Wuhu, all the way to Chizhou, and south to Xuancheng, Jingxian, Ningguo and other places either killed the officials, or surrendered to the Ming army under the leadership of the officials, and this area was large enough for him.

What's more, in order to ensure the smooth progress of Tugai, he also had to maintain a certain number of garrisons in the occupied area, and the larger the place he occupied, the more troops of the Ming army would be contained, but fortunately, the vast majority of the gentry in this area were also very sensible, and basically chose to hand over the land in exchange for the preservation of their property.

Of course, the main thing is that the Jingguan of Xiaoling is too scary.

Those gentry were not afraid of the teachers of benevolence.

But they were really afraid of this kind of tyrant like this, 4,300 corpses were piled up there for five days, and after five days, the stench of burning corpses drifted out hundreds of miles at the farthest, and finally the bones and slag that were not burned clean were cleaned up for three whole days, and it can be said that all the gentry who smelled the stench of corpses immediately dispelled the idea of confronting Yang Feng.

The land is gone, and they still have thousands of family fortunes.

But against Yang Feng, they will have nothing.

"Lone is the most reasonable, you give Lone face, Lone will give you face, Lone knows that you don't like Lone, because Lone robbed you of your land, but which of you dares to say that your land is clean? Which of you has not taken the land by force? Who dares to say that there is no let's check it thoroughly, if there is really no Lone, return the land to him, and then publicly apologize to him, but if there is, it doesn't take much, just lose your life to Lone, who is there? Who would dare to gamble with Lone? Didn't you? Lonely thoughts, no one.

But that's the old thing, Lone has no interest in caring about it, Lone just can't get used to how much you look wronged.

Of course, you took the initiative to donate your land to Lone, this is to give Lone face, Lone is very happy, so Lone also has to compensate you, Lone now has a big business, and wants to invite some friends with funds to participate, Lone thinks you meet this standard. ”

In the city of Suzhou, Yang Wang Ye said to the dozens of local gentry in front of him.

These people all took the initiative to donate land to him, and Suzhou is one of the richest cities in the south of the Yangtze River, these gentry are all worth a lot of money, how to mobilize these people's funds, has always been the most concerned issue of Yang Wangye.

"Dare to ask His Highness what kind of business it is?"

A gentry hurriedly asked.

The reason why they cooperate so much, in addition to the fear of Yang Feng, a large part of the reason is also for this thing, you must know that the gentry in eastern Zhejiang, after taking the initiative to donate land to Yang Feng, have received huge industrial compensation, such as the one who took the lead in offering land, the cement business is booming and jealous, this year's income alone is said to have exceeded the rent of the 10,000 acres of land, and many other gentry are also either with Yang Wangye to open a cement factory, or a glass factory, a paper factory, a match factory and even the latest machine silk reeling factory, It's also very enviable.

"Steel mills."

Yang Feng said: "You should know that there is a steel mill in Changguo, using a new steelmaking furnace to make steel, and the output of one day is as good as the steel production of Suzhou in the past year, and the quality is better, far more than the steel produced by the old method here, and then Gu will build a new, larger, at least 100 million catties of high-quality steel a year." ”

This number instantly made him scream in front of him.

At this time, the whole of China does not know whether there are 20 million catties a year, and this output is still iron rather than steel, as for the production of steel by the steel filling method in Suzhou, it has basically reached the peak of technology, and the annual output of tens of thousands of catties of steel is considered to be the top of the sky, and Yang Wangye actually wants 100 million catties a year? This is also too scary, not to mention so much steel, not to mention where does the iron ore come from? Where does the coke come from? It's not a matter of lip service.

"Iron ore is in Dangtu, there is a big iron mine, that is, the iron content of the ore is a little lower, and it needs to be processed in addition, as for the coke in Changxing Niutoushan, there is a large coal mine, and then it can be mined, and the address of the steel plant is selected in Suzhou, or other Wuxi, Wujin is OK. Iron ore in Dangtu through beneficiation directly loaded on the ship, down the river to transport is very convenient, Changxing coal dug out of the spot into coke, and then through the Taihu Lake water transport also into the canal to the steel plant, so that there is no problem in transportation, the rest can not be an expanded Changguo steel plant is very simple.

This time, Lone wants to use a new way of working together.

Stock.

That is, the lonely side calculates the amount of investment, and then converts it into how many shares, such as 10,000 shares, so that one share is how much it is, just like selling things, and also specializes in a shop to sell out, and whoever wants to buy shares will go over and buy a part of the stocks. In the future, the operation of this steel plant will be decided by the shareholders through consultation, the minority obeys the majority, and as long as the shareholders who own more than half of the equity agree, then this matter can be determined, only the stock is not recognized, as long as the shareholders of more than half of the equity agree, even if they do not agree, they must agree.

Dividends are distributed annually based on the benefits.

Whoever buys these shares belongs to you, or you can sell them to others, and this other shareholder has no right to interfere, even if it is alone. ”

Yang Feng said.

Playing stocks is what he has long wanted to do, and he wants to mobilize private funds, which is the best way, using this steel plant as an introduction, first opening this head, building a stock exchange, and the rest will be solved by time, anyway, no matter how you play, you can't escape from the palm of his hand. As long as the steel mill makes a lot of money, those rich people will naturally be tempted, just look at the madness of the stock market at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and then he will gradually transfer other industries to the stock market, and he only needs to control enough equity.

"Lord Wang, can the villain go and take a look at your steel factory in Changguo?"

A rich man asked cautiously.

Yangfeng's steel factory still does not allow outsiders to visit, especially foreigners.

Steel is indeed a good business, this fool knows, the Ming army is now fighting steel, and there are more and more new machines, and in the future, steel can be said to be made without worrying about selling, but before this they can not be inspected at all, after all, it is necessary to pay money.

"Yes."

Yang Feng said very happily.

His steelmaking plant is now able to build his own steel-making furnaces, including the more than 20 units purchased from Lin Qian and the ones he built, which can produce more than 100 tons of steel per day, of course, the Ming standard ton, that is, 600 kilograms per ton. They are all ordinary carbon steel, mainly used to cast shells and various machine parts, while high-end products such as barrels and cast steel rifled guns use crucibles to produce alloy steel, cast blanks and then forged by the latest steam hammers, and then further processed by steam-powered machine tools.

Of course, his output is still not high, and the nearly 100,000 troops that really supply him are definitely not enough, and he has to buy some of them from Lin Qian, but if this large steel plant is completed, then he will be able to supply these 100,000 troops, after all, his current steel consumption is not at the same level as during World War I and World War II, at most it is at the level of the Civil War.

The output of 100 million catties is not much, and his goal is just a Hanyang-level steel plant, although his steelmaking furnace is relatively small, but this is nothing more than a few more, and the production efficiency does not need to be cared about, it is already a miracle that he can produce a large amount of steel this year. 100 million catties is actually 60,000 tons of modern standards, and his current production capacity in Changguo has actually reached nearly 20,000 tons, but the iron ore is insufficient, so it has not been running at full capacity, and he is nothing more than three times larger. If the supply of iron ore is sufficient, he can basically guarantee 100,000 tons of steel a year, and in such an era, the annual output of 100,000 tons of steel is completely the world hegemon.

With such steel capacity, he could build railways, build steamships on a large scale, and then build ironclads.

However, now it is only a preliminary plan, and his funds are really not enough, mining, road repair, wharf, factory building, and iron-making furnace are all going to cost a lot of money, not to mention just clearing the surface in Niutou Mountain, building a road enough for four-wheeled carriages, or simply laying wooden tracks, leading to Changxing County to build a coking plant, and then building a wharf to dig deep into the channel into Taihu Lake to build a special transport fleet, these funds are already considerable.

He is now really out of money because of military spending and compulsory education.

Therefore, he could only invite these gentry who were willing to cooperate with him to partner.

Send this invitation, and he won't have to worry about the rest for the time being, these few months are considered the preparation period, he will go to Shanhaiguan to take down Beijing first, and then talk about it, the current situation there is not very good, mainly because Kang Mazi also began to tear off the painting skin of the Holy Lord Mingjun, and then drove the people to attack the city as a meat shield.

It can be seen that the Tartar Emperor has indeed been forced to the point of exhaustion. (To be continued.) )
