Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The words have to start with Mao Geng and 6 Jiuyuan talking about the Yongping Supervisor of the Four Great Copper Prisons that day.
According to Mao Geng's idea, the open-pit copper mine in Dexing, Jiangxi Province in later generations, known as the first in Asia and the third in the world, and since it is an open-pit copper mine, the burial must be extremely shallow, and it should be prioritized for mining.
However, Mao Geng was a little disappointed, 6 Although Jiuyuan also knew that Dexing produced copper, he knew very little, but he knew very much about the copper smelting in Yongping Town, Lead Mountain.
It turned out that to Mao Geng's surprise, Goose Lake was in Yongping Town.
When Zhu 6 met at Goose Lake, 6 Jiuyuan stayed in Goose Lake Temple for more than ten days. 6 Jiuyuan is not a person who does not eat fireworks in the world, and naturally understands that the local area can build the Goose Lake Temple, most of it is because of the copper in this property, and it is precisely because of the copper production that there is money to build a temple, and the incense is prosperous.
During his days at the Goose Lake Temple, 6 Jiuyuan not only knew that copper was produced here, but also heard various stories about copper. Specifically, the Ehu Temple is a famous temple, located in the north of Yongping Town, Ehu Mountain, and the copper-producing Guiyang Mountain and Tianpai Mountain are located in the southwest of Yongping Town, which is also famous, at most it is said that there are 100,000 people around these two copper mountains and lead mountains to engage in livelihood, such as copper mining, smelting, transportation and so on.
Mao Geng remembered that the Yongping copper mine in later generations was in the southwest of Yongping Town, according to reports, copper was originally produced in the Song Dynasty, but only the top layer was mined, most of the time it was to collect bile water to smelt copper, the Song people did not expect that there were huge copper deposits under the bottom, and even the later generations were also explored several times, so it was determined that there was a grade copper mine underground.
This is the advantage of being a traverser, saying that in the 2O century, after more than ten years of difficult exploration, it was discovered that the copper reserves under the Yongping copper mine are amazing, and only one layer needs to be uncovered, and it can be mined in the open pit. This information is equivalent to a treasure map in the Great Song Dynasty. Now, Mao Geng has this treasure map in his hands.
For 6 Jiuyuan, of course, there is no need to conceal it, Mao Geng directly told him that as long as he digs further down in the current copper mining place, it is an endless copper ore.
The copper metal reserves of Yongping Copper Mine are more than 1oo tons, and the output of later generations is 20,000 tons per year, which is converted into Song Jin, which is more than 3ooo million catties. Of course, if the tactical mining of the sea of people is adopted, even if the hard rock layer can be blasted with gunpowder, it is estimated that it can reach two or three percent of the output of the later generations.
The Dexing Copper Mine does not know where it is hidden for the time being, but the location of the Yongping Copper Mine is certain. Although the reserves of Dexing Copper Mine are several times that of Yongping Copper Mine, Mao Geng feels that the treasure map of Dexing that he has mastered is too inaccurate, and it is better to dig out the Yongping treasure that has been accurately located than to bother to find it.
6 Jiuyuan didn't ask Mao Geng how he knew that Yongping Copper Mine stored a huge amount of copper ore, 6 Jiuyuan knew that Mao Geng would not joke nonsense, what Mao Geng said, it didn't hurt to believe it.
So, the two discussed how to mine the Yongping copper mine.
Mao Geng's preliminary design was to use gunpowder to blast open the rock layer, and to use the tactics of the sea of people to mine copper ore, as for copper smelting, it was mainly based on fire copper smelting, supplemented by bile copper smelting. While mining Yongping copper mine, you can also wait for the opportunity to explore the Dexing copper mine.
Considering the need to use gunpowder to open the mine, and at the same time involving the need for secrecy of zinc smelting, and based on the consideration of scale and efficiency, the only way to do so is to adopt the government-run model, and to mobilize a disciplined army to mine copper ore, which can be called an option.
Do the math, send 20,000 Xiang troops, even if the per capita daily output of one pound of copper, a day can produce 20,000 pounds, an annual output of 7oo million pounds of copper should not be difficult, plus 500,000 pounds of zinc, if some advanced management measures are introduced, maybe the output will be higher.
20,000 Xiang troops are paid one million guan a year, of course, it is a huizi, which is equivalent to 750,000 copper coins, a pound of copper 300 wen, a catty of zinc is 200 wen, and the total annual income is 2.2 million guan, taking into account investment and other operating costs, the profit should be considerable. Mao Geng simply estimated that in a year, the profit would not be less than 500,000 yuan. If the scale effect, technology effect and management effect are combined, the profitability can be further improved, which does not include the additional product gold and silver, you know, the gold and silver content in the ore in the Yongping copper mine is not low.
It is not surprising that Mao Geng designed the state-owned enterprise model of later generations, which was called the official camp in this era. Considering that the combat power of the Xiang army of the Great Song Dynasty is basically scum, but the Xiang army has no other skills, but it has one of the biggest skills, that is, it consumes national funds very much - very cheating, Mao Geng believes that the best way out for these useless box troops is to transform them into industrial population. Using the model of state-run enterprises to digest the army, disguised disarmament, and achieve a soft disarmament may be the only way out for a period of time in the future.
For a long time, the Great Song Dynasty has regarded the military camp as a shelter, and what unemployed vagrants, lazy people, post-disaster displaced people and even criminals have been included in the army, and the army has been completely regarded as a charity.
When it comes to wartime, when real swords and guns are needed to charge into battle, the old soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are of course unable to help, so they have to recruit utility and envoys. The so-called utility and envoys are the high-ranking sergeants recruited, and Yue Fei joined the army as a utility at that time. The envoy is the highest in rank and the second most effective, and at the same time, the salary of the envoy and utility is much higher than that of the ordinary sergeant. But then the problem came again, the army was breeding **, if there were 3,000 soldiers under the generals, they would often report to the court to claim that there were 2,000 utility and envoys in the camp, but in fact, of course, there were none. The combat effectiveness of these generals is not very good, but the ability to eat empty salaries has risen, and Xiaozong can't, so he has to issue a hard rule in the Longxing period, stipulating that the effectiveness of the army and the envoys cannot exceed 30% at most.
All right! This is a bit off-topic.
In short, the Xiang army is a shelter waiting for the next place, and it is okay to do with some logistics, and they can't be counted on in a war anyway. Therefore, it is better to convert to an industrial population as soon as possible! According to the practice of the Special Economic Zone, a truth has been proved -- it is still very important for the van army to change careers to become cement workers and construction workers.
In addition to digesting the Xiang Army, the second reason is that Zhao Tuan wants to take out a little spare money from the treasury to develop the mining industry. Millions of dollars were left in the treasury, and it was said that the rope that stringed the money was rotten, which obviously did not conform to the law of value preservation and appreciation. In Mao Geng's eyes, Zhao Tuan is like a miser, it is good to be good at managing money, and it is good to avoid investment risks, but it is not bad to stimulate the economy. In comparison, Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Law has the meaning of using national resources to stimulate the economy, but it is just illegal, and the tiger is no longer an anti-dog. However, it is fair to say that Wang Anshi is still very reliable macroscopically, but he has not done a good job in the details. Of course, later generations said that details determine success or failure, and if Wang Anshi fails, he will fail in the details.
It's far away again.
Well, the Xiang army of the Great Song Dynasty is also idle, and the national funds of the Great Song Dynasty are also idle, Mao Geng feels that they should be mobilized and transformed into industrial exhibition resources of the Great Song Dynasty. This is an attempt to develop the industry with the strength of the country, and I hope this is a good start. Perhaps in the near future, this national system will also be able to occupy a place in the wave of industrialization in the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how many shortcomings the national system has, after all, it cannot be denied that the national system also has its advantages.
In order to strengthen the determination of the imperial court, Mao Geng launched a joint-stock system.
Mao Geng's joint-stock company, the share capital is one million, the imperial court accounts for seventy percent of the shares, Mao Geng's special zone group accounts for one percent, in addition to the Taiwan Song Haimao and Gao Jian real estate also account for one percent, Taiwan Song Haimao and Gao Jian real estate do not need Mao Geng how to mobilize, Han Yanzhou and Zhou Xun after learning that after investing in a large amount of copper and can make a large profit, they took the initiative to subscribe for shares, Han Yanxuan's Taiwan Song Haimao is not bad money is well known, Zhou Xun is now selling real estate overnight, and it is not difficult for the three to take out 100,000 yuan each.
In this way, the Great Song Dynasty actually only needs to take out 700,000 guan, that is, the money taken out in installments in a year is just taken out in advance at one time, because the military salary of 20,000 Xiang troops is 750,000 guan a year. Therefore, on this point, the court only makes money and does not lose. If you also count the return of 50 percent a year, it is even more unfortunate.
As for what the name of this government-owned joint-stock company should be, it can't be called Jiangxi Copper, not to mention zinc, gold and silver are also produced, and then maybe there will be something else, thinking about it, Mao Geng feels that it should be called Minmetals Exhibition Holding Company, with such a name, it will save a lot of trouble by putting more factories and mines.
Considering that Minmetals Holdings started very high at the beginning, and it is possible to develop into a giant enterprise in the future, when 6 Jiuyuan solemnly recommended Xin Qiji, Mao Geng also felt that no one was more suitable than him. Regardless of military and political affairs, his prestige and talent are extraordinary, and it is really suitable for him to be the CEO of Minmetals Holdings. Besides, Xin Qiji is idle at this time.
Zhao Tuan saw Mao Geng's Minmetals Holdings project plan, and was very excited at that time, the so-called throttling and open source is nothing more than this, and Mao Geng also claimed that he could win the copper money war by this, so why not!
Zhao Tuan knows that Xin Qiji is a good hand in financial management, if it is really like Mao Geng said, Yongping has a high-grade copper ore stored there, Zhao Tuan believes that it is obviously more reassuring to hand over Xin Qiji than to others! Well, Jiaxuan is not only capable of Wen Anbang, martial arts can kill the enemy, but also a capable person in business, I am optimistic about him, I am optimistic that he can make more money for the Great Song Dynasty, in other words, he can maximize the interests of the imperial court.
As for the options proposed by Mao Geng in the plan, isn't it just an option of one percent for Xin Qiji! Anyway, you have to pay money, but you just pay for the shares of Minmetals later, so of course you can give such convenience.
Zhao Tuan thought about it later, the more he felt that Xin Qiji was the best candidate, but he couldn't help but be a little worried, Jiaxuan had been left aside for a long time, and he would not look down on the position of the president of Minmetals and refuse to go out of the mountain!
