In the autumn of the 28th year of Chongzhen, 1655 AD, the railway connecting Beidu and the Monan Gold Mine was finally completed.
This means that this giant mineral deposit can finally be exploited on a large scale, which will not only allow Beiting to earn millions of silver in revenue every year, but also allow the two brothers Tengjisi, the owners of the gold mining area, and the tribe members to live a dream life. Lie down and win life.
Based on the calculation of 100,000 miners, each of whom digs one thousand kilograms of ore per day, the daily mining volume of the gold mine can reach at least 100 million kilograms, or 50,000 tons.
Although the gold content of the ore in the early stage will be very low, basically less than one gram, and the refining value is negligible, this gold mine is associated with silver and copper.
In addition to containing 30 million taels of gold, it also has 190 million taels of silver and more than 700 billion taels of copper. The early mining of copper ore is equivalent to mining money.
That's why a certain new emperor spent tens of millions of taels and accepted the price offered by the Tengjisi brothers to mine the "Oyu Tolgoi Gold Mine". This is a super cornucopia.
Judging from the quality of the ore that arrived in Beidu in the early stage, it is quite good. At least it will not cause the Beiting Household Department to suffer a large loss in its early investment.
The mining price of ore is ten cents per hundred catties. Each person can earn one hundred cents per day by mining one thousand catties, which is three taels of silver a month, and there is a fixed salary of two taels of silver.
The monthly feeding cost for 100,000 miners is at least 500,000 taels of silver, calculated based on the mining volume and copper content.
Assuming that one ton of ore can extract one hundred grams of copper, 50,000 tons of ore can extract five million grams of copper.
After converting these coppers into silver, the monthly income of the Ministry of Household Affairs would be approximately 400,000 taels of silver.
If the copper content further increases, plus the silver and gold in the ore, then daily expenses can basically be maintained.
Since there is no shortage of coal there, a certain new emperor also sent 300 large steam mine cars there. It is expected that more than 700 more will be sent there after the year, which can greatly increase the mining speed of the gold mine.
It could have been possible to cancel the fixed salary and only calculate the miners' income based on commission.
But a certain new emperor considered that the mining area was a harsh and cold place without even a basic salary, so exploiting the land was a bit excessive.
Only four to five taels of silver a month can attract coolies to go to other places to make money by panning for gold in the Monan mining area.
The most important thing is that the construction site is responsible for three meals a day, and meat can be eaten every three days, otherwise the miners will not have much money left at the end.
If you want to eat extra food, there are many restaurants and restaurants around the mining area. You can also buy roasted whole lamb directly from Mu Min.
Previously, the Tengjisi brothers used their shares in the gold mine as collateral to borrow 500,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs to build the city and build many buildings in the city.
Since the scale of the city is not large, it is equivalent to the city built by the Ministry of Industry for drying salt along the coast of Shandong. It has now been completed and put into use.
The train can enter the city directly from the city gate, which is not only convenient for transporting materials, but also improves a certain degree of safety.
There were a lot of artillery installed at the top of the city and oil was shipped from Shaanxi, so they were not afraid of being attacked by the braided cavalry.
It is obvious that the Tengjisi brothers want to stick to the gold mine in order to enjoy the benefits.
It’s not wrong to think so. If you guard the gold mine and don’t mine it, it will be no different from an ordinary grassland.
The purpose of mining gold is to make a good life for yourself and your tribe members, without having to worry about going hungry.
However, according to the estimation of a certain new emperor, the gold mine may not be able to achieve profitability until next year, and it may have to be postponed to the year after next before the two brothers can receive dividends.
It doesn't matter, because a certain new emperor has promised that all cattle and sheep from the tribe can already enjoy the treatment of being packaged and eaten, and there is no need to worry about sales.
Every two miles along the railway, a simple battlement, or gun tower, was built, and a platoon of soldiers and ten horses were deployed to protect the nearby railway.
There is no need to set up tactical nodes so densely inside the pass. They are mainly used to deal with possible enemy attacks outside the pass.
There are less than 400 gun towers, and the total cost is only tens of thousands of soldiers. A certain new emperor can still afford this amount of manpower.
Moreover, there is no need to use Jifu's troops. As long as the new armies in Shaanxi and Shanxi have completed their training, they can be dispatched there.
The railway outside the customs is divided into seven sections in total, the Shaanxi New Army is responsible for four sections, and the Shanxi New Army is responsible for three sections.
A certain new emperor did not station these soldiers here permanently, but adopted a rotation method.
From near to far, the soldiers in each turret gradually moved towards the mining area.
Once we move to the mining area, we are done and we can take the train back to our hometown to visit relatives.
The process takes three years, and upon completion, soldiers receive three months of paid leave.
If there is a major change in the family, you can also ask for leave to go home.
With the permission of a certain new emperor, Zhang Guowei, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, discussed several times with Zuo Maodi, the governor of Shaanxi, and relevant personnel from the Ministry of Industry and the Academy of Sciences completed the survey along the road.
Construction of the railway from Ningxia to the mining area will begin next year. As long as this railway is completed and opened to traffic, it will greatly shorten the time for Shaanxi garrison to rush to the mining area.
Since the Yellow River flows through the Hetao outside the Guanhai Pass, it will be difficult to build a railway to the Yulin area in a short period of time. However, it can pass through Ningxia, which can also promote local development and stabilize the situation along the Hetao.
This thing is not available in the West in a short period of time. Even if you want to imitate it, it will not be possible to evolve from the Rocket to the Stirling locomotive in less than thirty to fifty years.
Even if European countries are interested in steam gadgets, most of their attention is still on the armored ships that can quickly seize the fruits of victory!
At least that's what the French and Dutch think, and that's what they do. It's just because of the problem of vision, which leads to the order of rush to buy...
The new emperor-general had already told Ruyter and Putmans what he should say, and he also told them bluntly how to deal with Cromwell and Blake.
Where the Dutch Parliament goes from here is their own business.
Even if the country is destroyed in the end, it is his own fault and has nothing to do with others!
At the rate that the Netherlands equips four ironclads every four years, delaying it for eight years should be able to delay the end of its life.
A certain new emperor hoped that the Dutch could buy more ironclads, but the third batch had been sold out.
Place an order now and participate in the fourth batch of group purchases. It will take eight years at the earliest...
A certain new emperor plans to expand the scale of the shipyard in Dengzhou, mainly because the waters of Tianjin will freeze in winter.
As a result, the Dengzhou Shipyard has sixteen or even twenty docks, so it will take two or three years to complete the expansion plan.
In the future, Tianjin Shipyard will mainly build Yoshino and Laiyuan, supplemented by Zhiyuan.
Everything built in Dengzhou is Zhiyuan, and overseas customers can go directly to Dengzhou to pick up the ship.
Although the construction cycle of the ironclad ship was long, the profit was so high that a certain new emperor could not refuse this temptation.
It is so exciting to be able to buy a warship that costs less than one million taels of silver for five million taels or even tens of millions of taels...
It's just that the part sold to Zheng Zhilong was sold at a loss, and he didn't make much money at all.
But they also spent a lot of real money in the early stage, otherwise the shipbuilding plan would not be started at all.
A certain new emperor did not politely refuse Zheng Zhilong's request to build ironclad ships in Fujian.
But we must wait until the fourth batch is completed, which means it will take up to eight years before the ironclads can settle in Fujian.
A certain new emperor doesn't mind transferring technology internally, but he must ensure that the Academy of Sciences and Tianjin Shipyard understand Yoshino thoroughly.
The generation gap must be widened, otherwise Zheng Zhilong will really have the possibility of being on an equal footing with him.
The shortest term is six years, the long term is eight years. In fact, it doesn’t take long at all.
For example, if you marry one concubine a year, if you marry six or seven, the time is almost up!
As a price for the introduction, Zheng Zhilong stated that he would order two additional Laiyuans and two Yoshinos.
Zheng Zhilong already owns twenty-four Zhiyuan ships and is ordering eight Zhiyuan ships, four Laiyuan ships, and four Yoshino ships.
All orders add up to forty ships, and the combat effectiveness of its armored fleet alone is equivalent to two Beiyang naval divisions!
But it is far from over yet. A certain new emperor believes that Zheng Zhilong has earned no less than 100 million silver coins in recent years, which is equivalent to 60 to 70 million taels of silver.
There is absolutely no problem in purchasing eight to ten more Yoshinos, and then Zheng Zhilong can dominate the oceans as he pleases...
Before Huang Taiji and his braided army were wiped out, a certain new emperor didn't have much desire for the ocean.
As long as we can ensure the safety of maritime trade routes, as well as the Nanyang territories and vassal states.
After frightening the Dutch, driving away the Spanish, and scaring off the British, the Ming Navy had little use for the time being.
Going to Australia is a new route, but it also requires a large number of merchant ships. The Zheng fleet, which is experienced in ocean navigation, can be responsible for the escort.
A certain new emperor has already focused his attention on another major event, and that is giving birth to a child!
I am twenty-seven this year, which means I am twenty-eight years old, and I am twenty-nine years old, which is approximately thirty!
While I am back to visit my relatives, in order to avoid listening to the nagging of my beautiful biological mother, I must seize the time to play the android game!
A certain new emperor also believes that at his age, it is okay to have one or more children.
If it were any later, it would be difficult for Xue Wanqing and Liu Xier to give birth naturally.
The original plan was to have a child three years ago, but the plan to station the army in Gaizhou caused the plan to have a child to be shelved.
Now many of the children in the little fat house know how to play soy sauce, it’s the fate that makes people...
The little fat house had neither the time nor the patience to take care of his children. Su Yan, Liu Rushi, Gu Hengbo and several concubines took turns educating them.
This guy only cares about three things: eating, sleeping, and playing. If spanking is the fourth thing, then he can barely participate!
Since a certain emperor's brother developed various flavors of crickets, another favorite dish was added to Xiao Feizhai's menu.
On the first day when a certain new emperor came back, he had dinner at Kunning Palace.
The next day at noon, the little fat house and his wife entertained each other, and the dinner had to continue to Kunning Palace. It was all a disguised greeting.
At noon on the third day, a certain new emperor found time to entertain the civil servants and generals who were staying in the capital.
After they had eaten and drank enough, they met with Putmans and Ruyter.
There is nothing to say to the British who burned, killed and looted, except for one word - just do it!
Seeing that the other party spent 25 million silver coins on the goods, a certain new emperor had every reason to loudly reprimand the British for this despicable and shameless behavior!
after……
The bashing is over!
After the recharge of 25 million silver coins is completed, these contents are worth it!
So far this year, a new emperor has launched a total of six Northern Expeditions, but the results have not met previous expectations.
There were a lot of rumors in the market, and the factory guards also reported many strange remarks, but a certain new emperor did not blame these people.
Rumor 1: Outside the Pass, Emperor Haojing’s immortal power dropped sharply, so Master Wang could not defeat Huang Taiji!
Rumor 2: Emperor Taiji has asked a shaman to cast a spell, so he can restrain Emperor Haojing’s magical power!
Rumor 3: Donglu has been immortal for a long time because he obeys the rules of the heavenly book!
Rumor 4: "Hao Jing"'s reign name offends the Qing Dynasty, not defeats the Qing Dynasty!
Rumor 5: The time for the Ming Dynasty to return to glory has ended...
What can a certain new emperor say about this?
When the mixed-breed war horses that I raised in Jeju Island are put on the market on a large scale, not only the royal chickens will be photographed as bastards!
Even if Huang Taiji knew what was happening on Jeju Island, he would not be able to stop it.
Now the sea is full of Ming warships and ships, which can already make it impossible for pigtails to go into the sea.
If Huang Taiji is willing to toss in the Songhua River, let him do it. It is also a good thing to mobilize troops to attack the Ming Dynasty in the north.
Whether it is defeated or not, the loss to a certain new emperor will not be big, nor will it affect the certain new emperor's established strategy.
Before eliminating the main force of the braid, all insignificant things can be put aside first.
A certain new emperor would not sit back and watch the Northland vassal kingdom be destroyed by braids, and had already dispatched more than 60,000 troops.
Cooperating with the fleet, as long as they can survive in the coastal areas, at the worst, they can be dismissed from Sakhalin Island and continue to survive.
If Braid takes it too far and wants to attack Sakhalin Island, he will be asking for death.
As long as the Ming fleet cuts off all connections between the straits, the soldiers and horses on the island will be a lone army without reinforcements.
They will face the siege of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of Ming troops, Japanese troops, or French and German forces!
A certain new emperor only fought in spring and summer in the Northeast. In other places, with the help of the fleet, he could fight all year round.
Over in Nanyang, especially in Borneo, many vassal kings basically worked 365 days a day to suppress the stubborn natives. As soon as they heard the news, they would quickly send troops to suppress them.
"Your Majesty, a special envoy from Kimchi came to ask for an audience and asked the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help the country defend against the Eastern invaders moving south!"
"Let them fortify the walls and clear the fields. Aren't there many islands? Just go to the islands after the autumn harvest and spend the winter!"
A certain new emperor had no intention of losing any patience with his chief assistant and soon-to-be father-in-law.
Apart from tricking people, Kimchi basically doesn't do anything else. He will trick people wherever he is.
Not much different from the monkey who reached for the waistband of his pants!
If you can describe it, this is the Italy of the East!
Pickle is on the other side of the braid, and Ming Dynasty only needs 10,000 people to defend it.
Kimchi is on the Ming side, and a certain new emperor needs to dispatch at least 200,000 to 300,000 people to ensure its safety.
Fortunately, there are not many such pig teammates. At present, it seems that there is only one.
Otherwise, the wealth that a certain new emperor has finally accumulated through mining will be overdrawn in advance by a group of pig teammates...
