Chapter 1563: Steamship


"The new gold mountain has a big golden vein again, oh my God, it really deserves the name of the new gold mountain.

But Lao Cheng, this New Gold Mountain is the territory of the New Gold Mountain Colonial Company. ” New Jinshan Colonial Company, who doesn't know that it is a colonial company in which the queen and the concubines are invested in the partnership, in fact, this is what the emperor gave him in the harem, just to play their names, the actual operation is professional managers, and there is no need for the queen to ask, and they sit and wait for dividends every year, which is a sum of fat powder money.

Australia Xinjinshan discovered a big golden vein, how can it not be Cheng Jin's turn to call the shots.

Lao Cheng smiled, "Have you forgotten that the queen's surname is Cui, and my daughter-in-law is also surnamed Cui?"

Cheng Yanjin's original wife was not surnamed Cui, but the original partner died for many years, and later remarried the Qinghe Cui family, who Zhang Chao helped to be the matchmaker, and the Cui family was still the queen's aunt.

In the New Jinshan Colonial Company, of course, the empress has the most shares, and the emperor has several concubines surnamed Cui.

Lao Cheng has this relationship, and of course he was able to participate in the development of the new mine of Xinjinshan.

Luo Shixin has also been mainly engaged in mineral production over the years, but mainly coal mining and coking.

It can be said that he is the first coal boss in Dahua, with the continuous expansion of the demand for iron smelting and steelmaking, and more and more people in Dahua use coal, Luo Shixin's net worth is extremely drumming.

If it weren't for the fact that the largest coal mines in the imperial court were in the hands of the royal family, Luo Shixin would definitely have a place on the Dahua rich list.

"Lao Cheng, such a good thing, how can you miss me.

Isn't it just a million shares, count me as one, and it won't be a problem for my Lao Luo to invest hundreds of thousands. ” Cheng Biting Jin smiled, one million yuan is not a big amount, if you really want to vote, the queen and the queen can make it up by themselves, but since they take it out to recruit shareholders, of course, it is to better integrate resources.

To develop such a good gold mine, it is not only the capital that is needed, but also a lot of other resources, such as craftsmen in gold mining, such as a large number of miners needed for gold mining, and even because it is far away in Australia, it also needs support in terms of shipping and so on.

To put it bluntly, this cooperation is not only recruiting shareholders with money, but also shareholders with resources in these areas.

"Lao Luo, you have a big appetite, and you are not afraid of choking when you open your mouth for hundreds of thousands.

My Lao Cheng personally came forward, but I only got a hundred percent of the shares, since you also want to join the gang, of course there is no problem.

As long as your old Roken helps solve the problem of miners and mining, and also gives you a share, how about it" "Of course I can provide mining technology, but I can't solve this problem as a miner.

Damn, you don't know how expensive miners are now, especially miners with some experience are even harder.

My coal mines are also full of people, and every month, there are not thousands of people buried in those mines."

Coal mining is an industry that requires a lot of people, and it is an industry that can easily die.

Thousands of people die in a month, this is still Luo Shixin to say less, in fact, the working life of those coal miners in the Luo family is basically no more than three years.

Miners bought from all over the country were sent to dig coal under the coal mines, and they did not see the light of day.

Most of them died in various accidents such as landslides and explosions after less than three years.

There are so many minerals in the Luo family, at least tens of thousands of people die a year, and there are not many of them in various mines, but OnePlus is very scary.

This dead man is even more than a big battle.

Nowadays, Dahua has conquered and opened up foreign countries, sometimes destroying a country, and tens of thousands of people have died.

But this kind of thing, everyone has long seen it.

This is the case in the mining industry, especially in coal mines, where there are not many corpses of miners buried underneath, and most of these miners are slaves anyway, and few people really care if they die.

The casualties of the miners have increased the cost a lot, but the profits of the coal mine are extremely high, so Luo Shixin is getting richer and richer, and the mines are opening more and more.

It is said that the safety measures of those mines in the hands of the royal family are relatively more in place, such as each miner must be equipped with a rattan hat, the miners take turns to change shifts, the safety inspection of the underground pit is relatively in place, and the number of casualties is much smaller than that of Luojia and other coal mines.

However, Luo Shixin will not care about the cheap lives of a few miners, he just suspects that there are too many deaths, and the shortage of labor is even more scarce.

"Go to Qinzhou to buy it."

Qinzhou Port is run by the royal government and is known as the largest port in the southwest.

Since the opening of the port, it has become a center of the slave trade, and a large number of slaves brought from the west are traded here.

Sometimes the slave ships were bought in the port without unloading the slaves.

Those bold buyers are basically mine owners like Luo Shixin.

"The slaves in Qinzhou are not cheap now, it turns out that there are still a lot of southwestern barbarians in Jingzhou to buy, but now there are fewer and fewer of them, and the barbarians in Yunnan, Qianzhong, Jiannan and other places have almost changed their land and returned to the stream, registered for naturalization."

Luo Shixin sighed.

The slave market in Jingzhou was originally the second largest slave market in Dahua, and the source of slaves was the natives from all over the southwest, but now that the imperial court's policy of changing the land and returning to the stream continues, where are there any natives who are not subject to the king, those who are not convinced have long become slaves and earned their lives in the mines of the Luo family and other mine owners.

The slaves in Qinzhou were mainly transported from the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea, and the slaves in the early years were mainly Persians and Romans who were prisoners of war, and in recent years, they were mainly African black slaves captured by these exiled princes, such as Chengqian.

But now black slaves are not cheap.

"Lao Luo, if you want to buy slaves, now you have to go to Xindu.

It's a new slave market over there, and there are a lot of slaves, and the prices are cheap.

It's just that I have to go to the port over there to buy it myself and ship it back by myself. ” Luo Shixin shook his head, because of the war, there were indeed many slaves on Xindu's side.

But the slaves over there didn't satisfy him, "Those slaves are not good, they're all a bunch of lazy guys, what's the use of coming." ” He has suffered a loss, there was a big battle on Xindu's side, Luo Shixin immediately smelled the smell, and sent someone to buy slaves there, at the beginning, he thought that he had taken the lead, and indeed bought back a lot of slaves, and the price was much cheaper than that purchased in Qinzhou.

But when the slaves were sent to the mines, he soon realized that something was wrong.

These people are far worse than their compatriots captured by the African chiefs, and they have no strength and are not willing to work.

Later, he found out that most of the slaves he bought were former monks and monks, and these people knew how to recite sutras and worship the Buddha all day without doing anything in faith.

Luo Shixin was very dissatisfied and tossed a lot of methods, these people were useless, it was simply his most failed deal.

Now, as soon as Luo Shixin heard about the slave of faith, he stayed away.

"I heard that the School of Engineering of Beijing Normal University recently set up a mechanical department, specializing in all kinds of machinery.

Last time, the college came to me for Lao Luo's sponsorship, and I thought it was a good direction. ” The Engineering Institute of Beijing Normal University approached Luo Shixin and proposed a cooperation plan, that is, Luo Shixin provided research funds, and the teachers of the Engineering Institute took the students to invent some machinery to replace human labor for mining.

For example, in the past, the mine track greatly improved the capacity of mine transportation and reduced a lot of manpower.

Luo Shixin is of course very much looking forward to such a cooperation plan, and without saying a word, he took out 100,000 yuan and fully sponsored it, as long as he can research one or two machines that can replace some manpower, it will make a lot of money.

Not to mention that after such machinery comes out, he can apply for a patent to build a factory to make money, and just using these machinery in his own mine can help him relieve a lot of manpower pressure.

"Well, those people at Beijing Normal University are brain work, last time someone came to me to ask for sponsorship, saying that it was to study some canal shipping, improve efficiency of machinery, a professor also told me, to build a steam engine, the use of water vapor or something can provide strong power, then no one rows, no sails, can pull the boat on the water, can run very fast, like the Arabian Nights, although it sounds a little magical, but I am also willing to support the strange ideas of the professors of Beijing Normal University, I paid 50,000 yuan."

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile.

Jingshi University is quite famous now, and even more famous than Guozijian, mainly because they are quite leading in all aspects, especially at the technical level.

Guozijian is mainly for officials, but what comes out of Jingshi University is technical talents from all walks of life.

These tech talents are now more highly valued.

In the past, Beijing Normal University did come up with a lot of useful technologies, for example, the Cheng family also had many salt farms, and Beijing Normal University cooperated with the Cheng family in the past, and the Cheng family funded research funds, and they developed a new process of drying salt in seawater, which greatly improved the efficiency of salt drying and saved a lot of time and costs.

After the technology was patented, the Cheng family directly bought the patented technology, and now the Cheng family's salt farm uses this new technology, and the annual cost savings are a large amount.

It is precisely because he has tasted this sweetness that Cheng Yanjin is quite willing to cooperate with Beijing Normal University to conduct research.

Even if some sponsorship projects are never successful, even if one out of ten is successful, it will definitely be earned.

You know, according to the sponsorship agreement, they have the right of first refusal to purchase the new technology that has been researched.

For example, at the current steam engine project of Beijing Normal University, Cheng Yanjin feels that the prospects are broad, and if the steam engine is really studied, it will not only be used on ships, but also steam ships, and even horse-drawn carriages can be equipped with steam locomotives, and then it will become a steam car without horses, and if it is used on rails, it will be even more unbelievable.

When a steam locomotive with seven, eight, or even a dozen wagons, whizz along the tracks, just think about it, and you can see how great the prospect is. t1706231537:
