After listening to Qin Xiaobai's detailed description of the key parts of the heavy industrial revolution, Old Man Guo was surprised and stared at Qin Xiaobai with blazing eyes.

Old man Guo knew very well in his heart that Xiaobai attached great importance to steel, this steel must be a much better thing than bronze, and it was definitely very valuable and important. After such a complex set of operations, the three major groups were given franchise rights, and the iron mines, coal mines, and iron and steel of the entire Yan Kingdom were in the hands of the four major power lords of "Ji, Guo, Xiaobai, and Le" in disguise.

Of the four major lords, the interests of the king's office are undoubtedly the best protected, and he has the most assets of the three major groups, and he will definitely support this reform. The second is Dasikong Xiaobai, who controls Yangang Group alone, Xiaobai is the leader of Yanguo's economic reform, and it is understandable to share some more shares. Then there are Da Situ Guo Kui and Da Sima Leyi, who account for 10% of the important shares in the three major groups, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

The four powerful lords monopolize the best things in the entire Yan Kingdom, and the old ministers left over from the old king will be eliminated. The Yan State will form a new pattern of four major power lords, including the king and the three powerful ministers.

"Oh, that's a good idea."

Guo Kui agreed with Qin Xiaobai's heavy industry economic plan that encircled the iron ore, coal mines, and iron and steel of the entire Yan Kingdom. And Xiaobai is very kind-hearted, and he never forgets them, the kings and ministers, when he is beneficial, which is one of the reasons why he admires Xiaobai very much and is willing to cooperate with Xiaobai. That night, in the palace of King Yan, King Ji Zhi and the three ministers Guo Kui, Qin Xiaobai, and Le Yi left aside the other palace ministers. Privately discussed Qin Xiaobai's plan for the reform of heavy industry.

This plan is essentially that the new king and the new lord ministers will exercise a deeper degree of control over the entire Yan kingdom and concentrate power in the hands of the Yan royal court, so it is natural to exclude other Yan kingdoms; After they negotiated the entire heavy industry reform bill. ^^?Monarch? Child?? The ^^ then announced the results to the old courtiers of the court the next day, claiming that in order to strengthen the royal power, the iron and coal mines should be returned to the king.

The NPC ministers didn't react to this, and in fact they didn't know what iron ore, coal mines, and steel were, let alone try to prevent the passage of the bill. At the strong request of the king. They vaguely agreed.

After the successful passage of this bill in the court, the bill was then announced to the NPC chiefs of the walled cities in the Yan Kingdom. Most of the local chiefs did not know what these items were for.

The chiefs of the plains readily agreed to hand over ownership of all the metro mines and coal mines in their territories to the king of Yan. Because there are not many large iron mines and coal mines in their territory, and even if there are, they are small iron mines and coal mines, so they are naturally willing to do this favor.

However, the NPC chieftains, who are located in mountainous and hilly areas and have a large number of iron mines, are somewhat reluctant to hand them over.

As far as they know, the Tanggukou Walled City has begun to buy iron ore in bulk in early June, which means that iron ore can be sold for money and can increase local taxes. What can be sold for money, of course, they are not willing to give it to others for nothing. Not even King Yan.

The iron ore mining area of the Zhou Dynasty was concentrated in 5 parts:

1. Iron ore in Northeast China [Liaoning Anshan, Benxi, Jilin call],

2. Iron ore in North China [Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi]

3. Iron ore in central and southern China [Daye in Hubei, Xiangtan in Hunan, Anyang in Henan, Wuyang, Jiangxi, Hainan Island in Guangdong,]

4. Iron ore in East China [Wuhu, Anhui Province to Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, Aoshan, Jinling Town, Shandong]

5. Iron ore mines in other regions [provinces in southwest and northwest regions. Such as Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Gansu, Xinjiang, Ningxia]

The five major iron ore areas of the Zhou Dynasty, including the "Northeast and North China", are two large blocks in the territory of the Yan Kingdom, and they are the two most abundant reserves. On the whole, Yan has the largest underground iron ore reserves among the nine princes, and the coal mine reserves are relatively rich, which has a natural advantage for the development of heavy industry.

This gave the king of Yan a bit of a headache, and the Yan subway mines were mainly concentrated in Liaoning in the northeast and Hebei in north China. In these two regions, the great chieftains and the newly relocated nobles were reluctant to surrender their iron ore rights. After the enactment of the policy of nationalization. The chiefs were slow to react.

King Ji Zhi and Qin Xiaobai discussed. How to solve this problem is to announce a tougher policy. Or is it a direct use of force?

Qin Xiaobai thought about it for a moment and said: "Wang, Yan Tie and Yan Coal Group still have 20% of the shares that have not been given away, you can consider giving them to these chiefs or newly relocated nobles, in exchange for them taking the initiative to give up iron ore and coal mines." I think that some of them will agree to accept this condition and nationalize the iron and coal mines and put them in the hands of Yantie and Yanmei Group. ”

Ji Zhi worried: "But what about the rest of the people? How to deal with it? ”

Qin Xiaobai said without hesitation: "Blocked!" At present, only Yangang Group needs a large number of iron ore and coal mines in the whole Yanguo, and Yangang will buy iron ore from whoever it wants. Since they are unwilling to cooperate, then let the iron ore and coal mines in their hands be bought by no one, and it will become useless. In the end, they had to hand over the iron and coal mines in their hands to the king. In this way, they can be brought to their knees without the use of force! ”

Ji Zhi praised: "Good strategy! Xiaobai, you immediately send an envoy to discuss this matter with the chiefs and newly relocated nobles from all over the country. ”

"Yes, King!"

Qin Xiaobai retired.

He returned to the camp of the Little White Army in Jicheng and immediately determined a group of cooperation partners from all over Yan Country with Sheep, Nameless and others. Send envoys to negotiate with local territories.

One of the most important negotiation opponents is the player leader of Liaoning Xiangping Walled City, "Past and Present Life". Because Anshan and Benxi, these two large-scale iron ore mining areas, are within the sphere of influence of Xiangping Walled City. It has not only a large number of subway mines, but also a large number of coal mines.

It can be said that in the whole of Liaoning. In the past and present life, they were extremely powerful leaders of the 6 regions, with strong financial resources, and single-handedly controlled the four walled cities such as "Xiangping Walled City, as well as Yingkou Walled City, Anshan Walled City, and Benxi Walled City". The local NPC Grand Chief is too weak to have much to say.

But with so much resource wealth. It may not be a good thing, the players and leaders of Jinzhou Walled City, Panjin Walled City and many other walled cities in the vicinity are staring at Anshan and Benxi, and they are eager to replace them.

If it weren't for the 6th Army in the past and present life, the military strength was equally strong, with hundreds of thousands of bronze troops. I'm afraid that there are no bones left that have been gnawed a long time ago. The 6th Army was very strong, but the naval fleet in the past and present life was very weak and was suppressed by the Zhoushui Alliance.

In the past and present life, he was a member of the "Bohai Alliance", mainly relying on cross-sea trade with other allies of the Bohai Alliance, maintaining strong financial resources. If the sea trade lines are cut off, coupled with the prying eyes and exclusion of the surrounding walled cities, the life of the past and the present life will be very difficult.

The Zhoushui Alliance sent a delegation led by the deputy speaker of the council to negotiate with the past and present lives on the issue of the ownership of Anshan and Benxi, and demanded that the minerals of Anshan and Benxi be completely handed over to the king of Yan. Then it obtained the rights of 10% and 5% shares in Yantie and Yanmei Group respectively.

Past and present lives are not happy: "This share is too small." I now have 100% of the wealth in Anshan and Benxi, but after I turn it in, I only have 10% of the wealth left, even an idiot knows that this is an absolutely loss-making business. If you can give me more than 51% of the share, I may seriously consider your suggestion. ”

Nameless smiled: "Brother in the previous life, the account can't be calculated like this, if we don't buy your iron ore and coal mines, you only have 0% of the wealth, but after handing it over, you have 10% of the rights and interests of the entire Yantie Group." Definitely paddled the ground. ”

In the past and present lives, he said very confidently: "No. Anonymous brother, you are wrong. If you don't buy my iron ore, others will. We are now about to enter the Iron Age. I don't have to worry about not being able to sell. Even if you block the sea route, I can still sell it. ”

Nameless thought for a moment and said, "Oh, in the previous life, you must be referring to several players in Heilongjiang and Jilin who have iron-making skills?" I think the Northeast region will buy iron ore as well. ^^?Monarch? Child?? Don^^ are you going to sell it to them? ”

The players who said Nameless are actually members of Wolf Smoke. In the entire Yan Kingdom, only the members of Wolf Smoke have mastered this iron-making technology. However, Qin Xiaobai never said this, and Nameless didn't know that they were members of Wolf Smoke, only that they had also mastered iron-making techniques.

In the past and present lives, he smiled: "Yes, in fact, they have already purchased a lot of iron ore from me, so no matter what you do, it will not work for me." ”

Nameless smiled lightly, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Oh, then I'm sorry to tell you, they must not have told you a thing, after the little white boss gave them an invitation to cooperate yesterday, they have agreed to join the Yangang Group." I just need to give them a message now, they will only buy iron ore on the phone in Jilin from now on, and will not come to your Anshan again. The current demand for iron ore is not large, and the iron ore on the call is enough to meet their needs. ”

The past and present lives have finally changed color. He whispered a few words to the assistant player next to him, and the assistant immediately went offline to contact the players with ironmaking technology in Jilin and Heilongjiang to confirm whether they had joined the Yangang Group. This assistant quickly got answers from all the players in all aspects, and they all joined the Yangang Group, and they were all looking forward to the Zhoushui Alliance. The assistant was in a hurry, hurriedly went online, and conveyed the situation to the past and present lives.

The past and present lives were stunned for a few seconds, and his face was pale and unbelievable. "How did Xiaobai do it? There are so many ironware manufacturers in Northeast China, why have all of them joined Yangang? ”

Nameless shook his head and said, "I don't know, the ability of the little white boss has always been impressive. Let's not talk about that, let's get down to business. Like you said, now that the Iron Age is about to begin, the bronzes will soon be obsolete. If you don't cooperate with us, you won't be able to sell any of your minerals, whether it's copper, iron or coal. You can produce bronze, but with the impact of steel, they will soon become unwanted. And obviously you won't be able to get the technology to make iron in the next two or three weeks, and you will be able to produce your own ironware.

You don't have a single card in your hand that you can play. On the contrary, we have a lot of aces in our hands, each of which is enough to knock you out. But we hope that you can cooperate, become the control of the entire Yan Kingdom together, control the resources of the entire Yan Kingdom, and serve the greater strategic goals, Is it that the previous brother was only interested in this small area of Liaoning, and did not want to participate in the national war and the world war? We can't afford to waste a lot of resources in internal friction, we need to integrate as many resources as possible and invest in competition with players from other countries. The current Yan Tie is very small, and the 10% share given to you is naturally very small, and you suffer a little. But if Yan Tie monopolizes the world's iron ore resources, 10% of Yan Tie will be far more than the Anshan and Benxi iron ore mines you now control, what did the previous brother think? ”

In the past and present lives, I was stunned for a moment, and finally understood. "The goal of the Zhoushui Alliance is the national war? World war? Monopoly of the world's resources? ”

Nameless smiled: "Yes, that's what the little white boss said, and he is doing it." ”

I thought about it for a while in my previous life and this life, the current situation is no longer able to win by fighting alone, he can't go further with a single force at all, and it is already the limit to become the overlord of a small region, and now it's time to come together with a stronger group of allies and carry out group operations. And the Zhoushui Alliance is undoubtedly the strongest player alliance in Yan Kingdom, and it is also the alliance with the most allies.

In the past life, Jinchang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, happy cooperation!" ”

Nameless smiled: "Happy cooperation!" ”

The two sides signed an agreement to cooperate, and all the Anshan and Benxi iron ore mines controlled in the past and present life were handed over to Yanwang, which directly belonged to Yantie and Yanmei Group, and paid taxes to the state treasury. In exchange, in the past and present lives, they will receive 10% and 5% of the shares of Yan Tie and Yan Coal. In addition, the work of digging iron and coal in Anshan and Benxi is also the actual responsibility of the forces of the past and present lives.

During the heavy industrial revolution in Yanguo, the largest piece of mine in the northeast of the nationalization of iron ore and coal mines was successfully dismantled, and the nationalization problem was solved by way of interest exchange. After taking the iron ore area in the northeast, it can be said that the heavy industrial revolution of Yan has been half completed.
