Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 167 Mining Management
Auntie Zhu met Liu Lin's long gaze with a smile, and asked, "Does Liu Xieli think that future generations don't know how to plan for their descendants? Or do you think I'm a short-sighted person?"

"I dare not."

Not dare, not no.

Hao Guangming on the other side snickered again.

Aunt Zhu said: "Assistant Liu, let's get up first and listen to what I have to say, how about it?"

Liu Linchang was admonishing him sincerely, not just to invite fame, so he stood up when he heard the words.

Seeing that he was in a bad position, Li Yan helped him up.

Through what happened just now, Li Yan's affection for this senior who has been an official of the Ming Dynasty for more than [-] years has been greatly improved, and he even has some admiration.

Aunt Zhu said: "The official iron factory will indeed grow rapidly, and the consumption of iron ore will inevitably be faster than now, not to mention that I am planning to use the technology of later generations to improve the production efficiency of the official iron factory.

However, this does not mean that the government-run iron factories will continue to consume Daming's iron ore—after the world is settled, with the conditions, our Daming can mine iron ore in other countries outside the country, and even set up iron factories.

In that way, our Daming iron and steel industry can not only maintain the momentum of rapid development, but also preserve domestic minerals and pass them on to our descendants.

In this way, Liu Xieli should not say that the government-run iron factory is a disaster for future generations, right? "

At the end, the smile on the corner of Aimee Zhu's mouth was obvious.

Because Liu Linchang and even Li Yan had pretty faces.

"How... how could this be so?" Liu Linchang murmured in surprise, "My Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, how can I bring disaster to other countries for the benefit of my own country?"

Hao Guangming shook his head secretly when he heard this, thinking that Liu Linchang was taught by Confucianism after all, and he was somewhat poisoned.

Aimee Zhu then asked, "What if this other country is Northern Mongolia and Donglu?"

Liu Linchang frowned and said, "Donglu was originally a citizen of my Ming Dynasty, and the land of Donglu was originally owned by my Ming Dynasty, so what's the difference between blaming them and blaming Daming?
As for Northern Mongolia, excuse me for being ignorant, there are iron mines on this grassland? "

These words made Zhu Yu and Hao Guangming a little speechless - there are not only iron mines on the grassland, but also many.

Auntie Zhu simply looked at Li Yan, and said, "Liu Xieli doesn't know, but Li Duli has watched those films related to later generations, so he should know something, right?
In later generations, China, due to missing the great changes unseen in 3000 years, was far behind other countries in terms of military equipment, and was bullied and oppressed by barbarians from all over the world.

Such an island country as close to us as the Wa country has invaded on a large scale, trying to swallow our Shenzhou by snakes.

However, the western countries, because their homeland is thousands of miles away, cannot occupy China for a while, but they force us to sign many shameful treaties.

In addition to land cession and compensation, a very important item is the mining rights in our Shenzhou land and the right to exploit other resources.

These countries can treat us like this, why can't we treat them like this? ! "

When it came to the end, Auntie Zhu thought of what she knew about the later generations of barbarians oppressing China, and her words not only became angry, but also became quite aggressive.

In fact, Liu Linchang, like most people, always suspects that Auntie Zhu is not going to the afterlife, but to the fairy world.

But now that she heard what Aimee Zhu said, she realized that she might really be going to a later life.

And in the history of later generations, Shenzhou was also miserably bullied by barbarians from all over the world.

In order to make sure that his understanding was correct, Liu Linchang looked at Li Yan.

Li Yan thought of the films he saw on the way to Sichuan, and what Auntie Zhu had said about the later life, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "The barbarians are afraid of power and do not cherish morality, and they are not descendants of China, so there is really no need to be polite to them.

In addition, as His Highness said, the world is undergoing major changes unseen in 3000 years. We are fighting for China's future millennium benefits, and we really shouldn't be tied down by false fame.

If there is a princess to lead us, we will still lag behind the Western countries in the future, causing future generations to be bullied and insulted, and then we will be stigmatized forever! "

Hearing Li Yan's words, Hao Guangming on the other side couldn't help applauding.

Liu Linchang showed a reflective expression, and soon bowed his hands to Zhu Yuxi, and said: "It is my lack of knowledge, please forgive me."

Auntie Zhu laughed and said, "Liu Xieli is also doing it for Daming's good, besides, today the palace is looking for a few people to discuss the matter, and the purpose is to listen to a few people's ideas and opinions, how can they be punished for their words?"

Liu Linchang heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time reminded himself repeatedly in his heart: the princess has the supernatural power to pass on to future generations, and she can know 400 years later, so don't underestimate her knowledge because of her young age.

Aimee Zhu went on to say: "The government-run iron factory is actually an important policy of the later generations of the country. Although it is not perfect, it is better than the government-run iron factory in Ming Dynasty.

At present, it is not bad to use this method to manage national industries such as Daming's iron works.If there is a problem in the future, we can change it again. "

After finishing speaking, seeing Li Yan and Liu Linchang nodded slightly, Auntie Zhu said, "Then I will talk about the management of iron mines and private iron factories next.

First of all, for the existing non-governmental private iron mines and iron factories, we not only need to strictly investigate and register them, and crack down on those who violate the law, but also strictly restrict mining rights.

That is to say, any miner must apply to the imperial court for registration, and only after passing the qualification examination can he carry out mining on a certain scale in the designated area.

The folks must not be allowed to mine at will, and the same is true for the iron mines associated with the government-run iron factory. Before mining, an application must be filed, and it can only be carried out after approval by the company.

In this way, the imperial court can integrate mining affairs across the country through the Ministry of Mining Management, and carry out planned mining.

Taking iron ore as an example, how much iron ore will be needed by the country in the next five years, and how much iron ore will be needed to obtain these iron ore, so that the Department of Mines will approve the qualification for iron ore mining, so that the actual production of iron ore will not be too much or too much.

In this way, the total iron materials produced by the country will not be too short, or will be wasted due to excessive accumulation. "

Down below, Liu Linchang's eyes brightened after hearing these words.

Taking advantage of Aimee Zhu's pause, he couldn't help praising: "This move is indeed a proper policy, and it is indeed better than the original policy of government-run iron factories."

Zhu Yu was not happy because of Liu Linchang's praise, but said seriously: "This is the strategy for governing the country of later generations. Naturally, it is better, but the requirements for the court and officials are also higher. We may not be able to do it at first, but we can do it." Work hard and learn from this.”

Hearing this, Li Yan and Liu Linchang couldn't help but nod their heads.

As for the two ambassadors of the Armament Bureau, they felt that they were not qualified to nod, and it would be better to be a wooden man.

Aimee Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "The second point of governing private iron mines and iron factories is to cancel all tax-free privileges, so as to prevent the folks from using their privileges to evade the iron tax.

The third point is that even in private ironworks, the treatment of craftsmen needs to be guaranteed, and a minimum wage standard must be established.

Only in this way can the group of artisans grow relatively quickly. With more artisans and stronger skills, we can develop rapidly and enhance national strength in the midst of major changes.

The same is true for miners. In addition to establishing the minimum treatment for miners, it is necessary to severely crack down on those black mines that enslave miners through various illegal means.

Well, regarding the management of iron mines, this is what I and my son-in-law thought of during the war. Do you have any suggestions or additions? "

Li Yan and Liu Linchang were still thinking and didn't speak for a while.

Huang Yuanchang hesitated but stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Jianguo, should we consider canceling the tax-free privilege of mining? Most of the minerals in Chengdu and surrounding counties belong to the Shu Palace, or the Shu Palace is not being cancelled." Is it tax-exempt?"

　Thanks for the reward of 100 starting coins from [The Demon in Heart]!
