I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 133 Franchise Assets
"So, it is necessary to cut off the middle link?"

Seeing this kind of people, Qin Mu didn't express his thoughts, but instead questioned them.

This group of people has been sitting in the government for a long time. Although they understand the situation very well, they have gradually become lazy.

It must be properly rectified!

The group of people fell into silence.

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly. These are all his subordinates, which is really embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, I believe that one condition can be used as a starting point to restrict market transactions. At the same time, steel is also listed as a strategic material and cannot be resold at will. The other is to develop a new industry!"

"What do you think?"

"About this plan, Chen has been thinking for a long time, that is, starting from the 'environmental protection' as the starting point, the pollution of the steelmaking plant is extremely high, and the manufacturing plant is extremely wasteful of water resources, and the regions of the twenty states are not rich in water resources, so These two conditions are fully met."

My groove, environmental protection?
Qin Mu was dumbfounded immediately, he could have imagined all of this.

This is a new type of "provoking trouble" regulations that only appeared after the 21st century, but this regulation is also very useful.

After all, it is related to human health, resource abuse control, etc.

Zhuge Liang continued to explain: "Pollution emissions can customize a standard, but I haven't figured it out yet, because the designation of the standard will lead to a second decline in production capacity, and there is a huge loophole. If a factory's production capacity meets the standard, then if you want to make money, you have to Go back and open another one, more and more, and the production capacity has reached the union’s goal, but the environmental pollution has not abated at all.”

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Collect heavy taxes, and at the same time impose additional environmental protection taxes!"

A group of people couldn't understand what they were thinking, and they were all dumbfounded.

Such a novel idea is simply not suitable for this era.

However, Qin Mu already had a plan in mind, and implementing Zhuge Liang's plan would be effective, after all, there are lessons learned from others.

"How much is the position?"

"The original tax is increased by 15.00%, and an additional 20.00% environmental protection tax is collected to avoid public opinion. The palace must stand on the high ground of morality and publicize the harm caused by the use of coal and steelmaking."

"Well, yes, then the next question, the cost of steel is not high, and the intermediate links are complicated, how to solve it?"

"This is also very easy. Steel is listed as a special sales item. It does not participate in market competition and other issues. It belongs to the direct allocation of resources by the palace. The most common steel has the largest private demand and can be listed as a distribution rank."

I have to say that this method is still very useful for the time being.

After all, the current production capacity is not as exaggerated as Qin Mu imagined, and it can reach hundreds of millions of tons at every turn.

With a monthly output of ten tons, there is no need to worry about sales, but the worry is that it is not enough
"According to what the prime minister said, do you want steel to become an exclusive asset?"

"That's right, I believe that such materials are not suitable for the circulation market, and must be strictly reviewed before they can be distributed."

Zhuge Liang frowned and looked at Lin Quan.

"I think Master Lin knows more about this issue!"

"Uh"

Lin Quan was taken aback for a moment, how could he get involved in me.

There was no other way, the virtuous king was right in front of him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up.

"Your Majesty, according to my investigation, a number of manufacturers secretly traded a large amount of steel resources with North Korea, manufactured them into various common agricultural tools and products, entered North Korea, and then smelted them into blocks to manufacture armaments!"

"what!"

Qin Mu was furious in an instant, he never thought that someone would dare to do such a thing under his nose.

"No, North Korea does not have high-temperature furnace technology, how do they refine it?"

"This is caused by the leakage of some steel technicians who could not withstand the temptation. It is not the first time that North Korea has done this, including the court of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo and other places. I caught a few people just yesterday. A skilled worker from the Zhouzhou Steel Plant, who knows how to build a furnace and control temperature, will sell it to the Changsun family for a thousand taels of gold!"

Snapped!
Qin Mu slammed the table violently, causing the people around him to tremble.

This kind of thing actually happened in twenty states!
They are counted one by one, and no one is without responsibility.

"Immediately give me an order to conduct a thorough investigation of scientific research. At the same time, all personnel who have access to technology are registered in the register, and those who have not passed the review are not allowed to work. In addition, draw up a contract for me. After everyone signs the contract, dare to use it Leaking secrets in any way will kill you without mercy!"

This is the palace, and it is the first time that the people under its rule have been sentenced to death.

The people who learned about the situation naturally made a fuss, but they were also sensible, and patiently explained the situation to everyone.

Public opinion has changed this time, and those who leaked secrets were all sentenced to death and reviled by thousands of people.

The folk style seems to be in good weather, but it is actually a bomb, as long as the fuze is ignited, it is difficult to be extinguished.

The newspaper publishing department of the Wangfu played a role in controlling public opinion in a timely manner and infiltrating with intentional enemies.

The entire Tang Dynasty has already begun to invent gunpowder. What is needed is a person who ignites the fire. As long as it is detonated, the whole country will explode!

Qin Mu made this decision after careful consideration, and specially arranged many teams to perform the role of gunpowder in the suburbs and other places.

Those who want to buy will naturally know the characteristics of gunpowder, and those who don't want to buy just watch the excitement.

While Lingzhou City was lively, North Korea fell into chaos.

The precarious North Korea, seeing the war has reached a stalemate, the negotiations can only wait.

Everything is so passive.

During this period, they suddenly got a piece of news.
"Qin Mu actually opened up the purchase authority for gunpowder?"

"Hahaha"

"God help me too!"

"Our North Korean army has gunpowder of that quality, and it is bound to be invincible."

A group of courtiers looked at Gao Jianwu like crazy and shook their heads.

Zhang Yonghui was also very speechless. When he heard the news for the first time, he was also very excited.

Ying even began to think, how comfortable is it to have a large amount of gunpowder, which was sold by Qin Mu, and used to kill the army of twenty states?
unfortunately
"Your Majesty, although Qin Mu has opened up the right to purchase gunpowder, he does not sell it to hostile countries and forces. Moreover, anyone who wants to purchase must send someone to Lingzhou to discuss it. What kind of friendly and cooperative witness must be passed? If it does not pass, then naturally You can’t get anything, and the supply will gradually increase after the same period, but the Lingzhou Palace has the right to cut it off at any time!”

"This..." Gao Jianwu was stunned, he didn't expect this at all.

He thought that Qin Mu had lost his mind, but he didn't expect that he was too happy.

"Although our situation in North Korea is gone, our army is in full swing. We must not agree to Qin Mu's demanding request!"

Gao Jianwu's support comes from his domestic cohesion in North Korea.

However, I still laughed at the cruelty of the firearms war.

Just as he was talking nonsense and encouraging people, the local governments have already begun to split.

It was originally formed by the merger of three countries. If it wasn't for the pressure of the army, how could he obey Gao Jianwu?
