From Beiping to Miyun, it is nearly 200 miles away.

When passing through Yingzhou, Yingzhou Wei sent a team of men and horses to accompany him, and when he arrived in Miyun, Miyunwei also sent a team of men and horses to accompany him.

The team has tripled from more than 10 people to nearly 50 people.

At night.

In the house provided by the guard, people ate and washed up, and traveled all the way and around, and everyone was exhausted.

Gao Zhen soaked her feet in hot water, picked up the basin and poured it into the corner of the outside wall, and trotted back in the cold wind.

Another shopkeeper, Gao Changfang, was already resting on the kang.

Gao Zhen is not sleepy yet.

"You're not sleeping yet?" Gao Changfang was in a daze, and when he saw a figure sitting on the kang, he was startled, and his sleepiness was taken away, and he said half complainingly.

Gao Zhen shook her head, turned off the oil lamp on the kang table, the light in the room was brighter, and she still held a book in her hand.

"It's strange to say, when I didn't enter the factory before, as soon as the sun went down, I fell asleep."

"Later, when I entered the factory, it may be that there are many things on the counter, and my heart is not empty, but I can't sleep, and I always have to read a book to stay up."

Gao Changfang was stunned.

nodded understandingly, no longer complained, and comforted: "You are indeed under pressure on the outer cabinet." ”

"It's so noisy that you're dozing." Gao Zhen said apologetically.

Gao Changfang lost his sleep, put on a sheepskin jacket, wrapped in a quilt and sat up, "What book are you reading?" ”

"It's just a miscellaneous book."

""Dream Creek Writings", dozens of volumes of this book, which one do you read?"

"You've read it too?"

"I'm done." Gao Changfang smiled proudly, and then added: "Once in the little prince's office, I saw this book, and I bought it when I went back. ”

Gao Zhen was stunned.

It seems that he is not the only one who is working hard, and many people are secretly improving.

Gao Changfang and Gao Zhen have different personalities, after all, one has been in the factory for a long time, and the other has been running around all the year round, so it is rare that the personality can be the same.

He was more curious about the power of the palace, and he was even more interested in these external things.

"I don't know if you found it."

"What?"

"It's different in the north."

"The north of Beiping is mountainous and sparsely populated, and the current proportion of military households is the majority, which is indeed different from that in the south."

Gao Zhen smiled.

Gao Changfang shook his head and whispered: "I said the prestige of our palace in the north, didn't you find out, our treatment along the way?" ”

I see, Gao Zhen knew what Gao Changfang was referring to.

The little prince is doing things in Beiping Mansion, although the officials in various places do not block it, but they will not take the initiative to welcome it, but on the way to the north, everyone feels the local respect.

"It should be the difference between the guard and the government." Gao Zhen hesitated and analyzed: "The northern border guard station is powerful, but it is the southern part of Beiping, the terrain is flat, the population is relatively dense, the households are major, and the government is also powerful. ”

"There's some truth to what you say."

The more Gao Zhen said that he was clearer, and finally he was convinced, and said with certainty: "The prince has led the troops to the north for many years, and all the guards in Beiping are under the command of the prince. ”

"Although after the fighting stops, the guards will return to their hometowns and resume their daily routines, but the relationship will continue."

"And one day when the war resumes, these guards will still return to the command of the prince, so even on weekdays, who would dare to disrespect the prince's orders?"

"I see." Gao Changfang understood, and then admired: "You people who are running outside are still knowledgeable and well-informed." ”

"It's all speculation, and it can't be true."

Seeing that it was getting late, Gao Zhen put down the book and said let's sleep, but he really fell asleep, leaving Gao Changfang, who was completely sleepy, dumbfounded.

The next day.

The military households serving in the public housing of the guard house boiled water to cook and provide it to the people.

Zhu Gaochi is naturally not here.

Last night he was invited back to his home by the commander, and after saying goodbye in the morning, the son of the commander sent a few miles of land.

Led people to the guardhouse, and the group set off again.

Dense clouds.

Eight mountains, one water and one field.

The population is sparse, the acres of land are insufficient, and the current population, mainly military households, belongs to the military important land of Beiping Prefecture.

The guards in various places are extremely cooperative, opening the door of convenience, asking people to give, and asking for land to give land.

There are two teams of soldiers to guard, and all parts of Miyun can walk sideways.

The sergeants were also curious.

Miyun, a broken place where birds don't, what are the nobles doing here.

Zhu Gaochi did not explain, but only revealed to the commander that he was going to open a mine here.

As for how Zhu Di greeted them in advance, and why their attitude was so hearty, Zhu Gaochi did not doubt it.

In the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di rebelled, not only the three guards of Yanshan soon followed, but the guards in various parts of Beiping Mansion were more inclined to Yanwangfu.

However, the guard house in the south of Beiping Mansion did make Zhu Di spend some means to subdue it.

Baoding, calm not to mention, even the gateway of Beiping City, the Zhuozhou Sanwei at the junction of Baoding and Baoding in the south, is not as easy to control as the guard in the north.

But relying on Zhu Di's perennial prestige and skill, most of the guards in Beiping Mansion finally fell to Zhu Di.

In this way, Zhu Di was provided with enough elite soldiers, laying the foundation for winning more with less in the future.

Otherwise, no matter how outstanding Zhu Di's military talent is, if there are no elite soldiers in his hands, he will also fall into the dilemma of being a clever woman who has no rice to cook.

"After the understanding of this subway mine, as well as the exploration of our own craftsmen, the ore layer in this area is huge, extending for one or two miles, or even more than ten miles, and one is more than 20 miles long."

"There is a civil railway, which has been mined for decades, and it has not yet been explored."

"According to the local master, the thickness of iron ore has multiple layers, and the thickness of the ore layer is often nearly 1,000 feet."

When it comes to iron ore, Wansan is like a treasure.

Miyun's preparations have been prepared for a long time, and there are detailed information on various matters, and they are here to make decisions this time.

Zhu Gaochi already knew the news that Wan San said.

The mineral resources of Miyun have been discovered through exploration in later generations, and there are many iron ores, accounting for more than 96 percent of the total reserves in Beijing.

Miyun iron ore is also famous in later generations.

Iron ore was also produced in ancient times.

However, the scale is small, and most of them are open-pit mines.

"Coal mining is much more difficult than iron ore, and coal mines have many dangers, and with current technology, it is impossible to achieve perfection."

"Therefore, China Heavy Industry does not pursue the establishment of its own mines, but chooses to cooperate with coal yard owners, as for iron ore, Miyun's iron ore must be monopolized in their hands."

"In addition to the abundant iron ore resources in Miyun, the most important thing is that the iron ore in Miyun is easy to mine and the danger is controllable."

"With the iron ore in the Miyun area, China Heavy Industries will not be afraid of any competition, like a tiger with wings, so we can't miss this opportunity."

Not only that, but Miyun iron ore is the easiest area to mine.

It was also because it was too easy to mine, so that people in later generations, with a few companions, only needed a few pickaxes into the mountain to dig out truckloads of iron ore.

It is precisely because of the low threshold that everyone goes into the mountains to mine, just like ants moving, which leads to repeated bans in later generations.

This kind of rare "treasure land", of course, Zhu Gaochi can't miss it.

"The iron-smelting plant of China Heavy Industries, with the production method of a large factory, combined with the most advanced iron-smelting technology of our dynasty, will reach an astonishing level."

"We can't only rely on private mines, and we want to monopolize the iron ore in Miyun, so as to produce and sell it ourselves, so that the cost of iron in the iron-smelting plant can be controlled to the lowest level, and then we can face the market at the lowest price."

Because I told people about production and distribution a few days ago, many people understand what the little prince means.

All for the sake of industrial concessions.

"But there are several mines in Miyun, and I'm afraid they won't sell them." The honest Wan San asked an honest question.

Nobles eat people.

However, because of the long contact with the little nobleman, Wan San has forgotten.

Ma Wangxuan controlled his smile and didn't let himself laugh, but Gao Changfang couldn't help laughing.

"They'll give it to us." Zhu Gaochi was relieved.

Give?

Why?

Wan San's old face was a little confused, and he didn't react.

"Gao Changfang."

"Yes."

"You are responsible for the preparation of the iron mill and the specific affairs of the iron mine, is there any problem?"

"No, don't worry, little prince."

Gao Changfang already knew in advance and was fully prepared for this.

"Businessmen are profit-seeking, but we are not pure businessmen." Zhu Gaochi glanced at everyone, and everyone sat up straight.

"China Heavy Industries is making a profit, and if you use the character of a businessman, you can squeeze workers to the greatest extent."

"Increase workers' working hours, reduce workers' wages, and drain workers' potential."

"Especially in a large, intensive factory like ours, this alone can bring huge profits."

"And we don't recognize this mode of production, and the requirements for you are also different, not only to ensure the benefits, so that the factory can maximize profits, but also to take care of the lives of workers."

China Heavy Industries has always done this.

Ordinary workers are paid one tael of silver a month, and military household workers are even more than one tael and five cents a month.

There are also people who have crafts, people who can write and do arithmetic, and so on.

"If we follow the production method, the cost problem brought by this, if there is another factory like us, we can't compete with others."

"So we want to monopolize, for example, the iron ore in Miyun. Although it does not open coal mines, it wants to monopolize the technology of honeycomb coal. ”

"The monopoly of the means of production is to better ensure the interests of workers, and I hope everyone can understand this truth, absolutely not for the benefit of a family, let alone for our selfish desires."

The means of dealing with Miyun Minmine, Zhu Gaochi could not let the people in front of him have immoral thoughts.

Things are done with power, but the essence of the matter is for the development of people's livelihood, so that the benefits of industry can be extended to the people, rather than staying at the factory owners.

This is a more advanced way of social distribution than after the Industrial Revolution in the West.

A person must have private morality.

A group must have public morality.

Managers have a sense of public morality, so that the people-oriented atmosphere of China Heavy Industry at this stage can continue to be carried forward.
