...... After all, these are non-renewable resources, and if they are gone, they will be gone. Moreover www.biquge.info mining of minerals is also very serious in the damage to the surrounding environment. Therefore, when Huo Jiajun first started to develop, he formulated the regulations for the purchase of 80% of the required minerals.

Although this rule is not understood by 99% of the people in the current Huaxia Republic, and even Huang Sheng is not too supportive, but under Huo Shan's compulsory order, it was still passed.

But now, with the large investment of the wealthy families in the Chinese Republic in heavy industrial enterprises, the demand for mineral resources such as coal, iron ore, copper ore, and oil has skyrocketed.

If most of the resources are still outsourced, I am afraid that it will increase the operating costs of these enterprises, which is not conducive to their own development.

Before Luo Zhenlu came over, he had also thought about this issue. Now, it's time for the unrealistic, somewhat emotionally charged rules he made at the beginning to be revised.

Private capital can also participate, but after any enterprise obtains the right to exploit a mine, in addition to the taxes it must pay, it must take out 20 percent of its profits every year for environmental management in the surrounding areas, as well as infrastructure such as houses and bridges in the surrounding villages and towns, as well as investment in education and medical care. The offender will confiscate the mine and all family property, and the whole family will be exiled to Youzhou Province!"

Hearing this, Luo Zhenlu, Chen Jitong and Liu Jiazhao couldn't help but show a hint of discoloration on their faces, now exiled to Youzhou is the treatment of criminals in the Huaxia Republic.

Of course. Their place of exile was not Alaska, but the islands around the Arctic Ocean, such as Baffin Island and Victoria, further north.

These places are too bitterly cold, but the summer is fine. Surviving in winter is too hard. Except for the exploitation of prisoners, no immigrants want to go to this place.

After noticing the different colors on the faces of the three people, Huo Shan didn't say anything. Later generations of mine owners left with money, but left the local residents with no green land, polluted groundwater, and gray skies left to the already sick. Huo Shan is deeply hated and will never be allowed to exist.

"Also, although I agree to develop domestic mineral deposits. But not too much, 60% is enough, and the remaining 40% of the market demand is still bought from abroad!"

Hear here. Luo Zhenlu nodded. looked at the persistent look on Huo Shan's face. He didn't say anything more.

"Mr. Moon, this time you're here to ask me for labor, right?" Huo Shan turned his head and smiled.

Hearing this, Liu Jiazhao showed a wry smile on his face. For more than a year as Minister of Human Resources, he was almost annoyed by telegrams from various provinces and cities in the Americas urging slave labor.

Moreover, in addition to the provinces and cities in the Americas, the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Urban Construction also came to me twice in three days, which really bothered Liu Jiazhao.

"Young Master. You'd better hurry up and think of a way, or I'll stay in Taiwan. Don't dare to go back!

Hearing this, Huo Shan smiled. He knew that most of Liu Jiazhao's distress was caused by himself. If it weren't for the second plenary meeting of Huo Jiajun last year, he patted his chest and promised to give Zhan Tianyou and Huo Xuan a sufficient number of laborers, I am afraid that Liu Jiazhao would not have been forced to be like this by them now.

"Hehe, I know, you go back and tell them that at least half a year, there will be four million laborers that can be handed over to them!" Huo Shan said with a smile.

"Really?" Liu Jiazhao said with surprise on his face.

Hearing this, Chen Jitong, as the Minister of Agriculture, also lit up his eyes. Although large-scale development of grain land has been stopped, the development of land for cash crops has been approved by Huoshan, so the Ministry of Agriculture is also very much needed for manpower.

"Hehe, when did I lie to you!"

......

Later, after the four of them chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Chen Ji said goodbye and left with them. There are rooms specially arranged for them in the front yard of the Huo family.

Next, after Huo Shan finished the work at hand, he put down his pen after seeing that the time had reached nine o'clock. After moving his muscles and bones, he asked Horay to close the door and turn off the lights, and walked towards the back house by himself.

First, I went to each room, looked at the three pregnant wives, and then chatted with them for a while. Huo Shan finally came to Helen's room.

"Where's Doudou?"

Walking to the baby basket at the bow of the boat, after not seeing the figure of the baby daughter inside, Huo Shan couldn't help but ask Helen who was sitting next to him sewing small clothes.

"Oh, I was taken away by my mother, and I slept with her tonight!"

Hearing this, Huo Shan nodded. This is not the first time this has happened.

Since the birth of her daughter, although she is not the boy that her mother is looking forward to the most, she is still not able to do it by her old man. For more than half a year, the daughter's time with her mother has been even longer than that with Helen.

Although it was a little delicious, Helen was very happy to see her daughter being so liked by her mother-in-law.

"Let's wash our feet!" At this time, Helen put down the needle and thread, asked the servant to fetch a basin of hot water, and brought it to Huo Shan.

"Hmm!" Huo Shan nodded.

Then he patted himself beside him.

"Helen come and sit together!"

"What are you doing?" Although he had doubts on his face, he still obeyed Huo Shan's instructions, and Lianbu gently sat down beside him.

Smelling the refreshing fragrance beside him, he looked at the cheongsam with a white background and blue and white trim at the moment, and his golden hair was pulled high behind his head. In addition to the color of her complexion, no matter her dress or language, she was no different from a traditional Chinese woman, a beautiful young woman, Huo Shan's eyes flashed with a hint of pity, he reached out and stroked the woman's white and smooth face, and said softly: "Helen, in the past two years, you have suffered with me!"

"No, the food and clothing here are better than when I was at home before, and my mother-in-law likes me very much, I have a good life here, there is no suffering at all!" Helen put Huo Shan's hand on her pretty face and said with a smile.

"Helen, you know that's not what I'm talking about!"

Hearing Huo Shan's words, Helen was stunned for a moment, and the bright smile on her originally pretty face instantly became dimmed.

Seeing this, Huo Shan felt a pain in his heart, and hurriedly reached out and hugged her into his arms.

"Don't worry, Helen, wait a few years, and I'll take you back to Europe to see your family!"

"Really?" Helen suddenly straightened up from Huo Shan's embrace, looked at Huo Shan with a look of surprise and asked.

"Hehe, when did I lie to you!" Huo Shan said with a smile.

"Xiaoshan, thank you so much, but forget it!" Helen shook her head with a slightly gloomy expression.

"Why? Isn't that what you've been hoping for?"

Noticing the look of surprise on Liu Dong's face, Helen smiled slightly bitterly: "You don't know my father's character, if you let him know that I married you, he will definitely be angry." If I dare to go back, he will definitely imprison me! Don't let me see you and Doudou again, I don't want to do this, I can't bear you!"

After listening to Helen's words, Huo Shan's heart was moved and hugged tightly in his arms.

"Don't worry, when I take you back to Europe, he won't object to our marriage again! I want you to promise!" Huo Shan said in a condensed voice.

He was greeted by Helen's affectionate nod.

After the two of them warmed up for a while, Huo Shan smiled: "But before that, you have to give me a few more babies, otherwise Doudou will feel lonely alone!"

"Nasty, oops......!"

......

When Huo Shan walked out of Helen's room in the morning, Huo Lei immediately greeted him.

"Young Master, Brother Long and Huo Feng are here, and they are in the study!"

"Oh!" nodded.

"Let's go, let's get over here!"

After listening to Huo Shan's words, Huo Lei couldn't help but hesitate: "Young Master, haven't you had breakfast yet?"

"Take breakfast to the study and eat. In addition, I told the kitchen to cook more, Huo Long may not have eaten it so early in the morning!"

"Yes, I understand, young master!"

..................

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

......

Seeing Huo Shan striding in, Huo Long, Huo Shi and Huo Feng, who were waiting to talk in the study, immediately stood up and greeted him.

"Okay, you're welcome, let's all sit down!" After reaching out and stroking it, the four of them sat down together in the study and living room.

"Is there anything wrong with looking for me so early?" Huo Shan asked.

Hearing this, after the three of them glanced at each other, Huo Long first said: "Young Master, there have been new changes in the Qing and French Wars, Feng Zicai, a veteran of the Qing army that you asked us to pay special attention to, was officially appointed as the governor of Guangxi by the Qing court three days ago, supervising Guangxi's military affairs, and leading all the anti-French struggles on the Zhennanguan front!"

"Oh?" Huo Shan paused, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and then calmed down.

But his heart was tumbling like boiling water.

"How many troops does the French Expeditionary Force have on the front line of Liangshan and Zhennanguan now?" Huo Shan asked after thinking for a while.

"The 2nd and 3rd Brigades of the French Expeditionary Force, about 10,000 men!" said Hollon.

"Ten thousand!"

After listening, Huo Shan groaned slightly.

And at this time, seeing the thoughtful look on the young master's face, Huo Long, Huo Shi, and Huo Feng's eyes flashed with excitement at the same time. Breathing lightly.

Now their military is almost too poor to open the pot, if they don't fight, they can only look at the new equipment and drool, compared to the previous years when the military budget was abundant, it is simply a treatment in heaven and earth.

"Huo Long?"

"Young Master!!"

Looking up and seeing the earnest look on his face, Huo Shan smiled, knowing what he was thinking.

"Ordered Liu Wenqi's Fifth Division to take out a regiment and wait for the enemy near Zhennan Pass, and if the French launched an attack on the Qing army at Zhennan Pass, they would immediately launch an attack, flank the Qing army in front and rear, and destroy the French troops. ”

"Once the mission is complete, let them return to their original station!" (To be continued.) )
