Ming Zuo

Chapter 1740 Confused Princess Sentenced Confused Case
Because of environmental protection, Shaanxi Province has shifted its focus to the north.

Relying on this factor, the vicinity of Guihua City has become densely populated and has become a prosperous place.

Not only many people who migrated from Shaanxi Province farmed here, but also some caravans set off from here, crossing the vast desert, and went to Mobei for trading.

The steep natural environment cannot be an obstacle for people to earn wealth at all.

It is also by relying on the running of these caravans that the empire has a deeper understanding of the desert.

It won't be long before Monan and Mobei can establish a smoother connection and strengthen the empire's control over Mobei.

"We must pay attention to the population size and the intensity of development. Nothing is as important as environmental protection. The ecology here is very fragile. Once it is destroyed, it will be difficult to restore it."

The prosperity of Guihua City makes Zuo Menggeng very happy, but he cares more about the environmental protection here.

Mao Yuanyi and Wang Qiaonian quickly took it to heart.

Even in the cold winter months, Zuo Menggeng didn't care and continued westward.

A few days later, he came to Baotou.

Because business established the country, it has greatly cultivated people's business sense.

The news that Baiyun Obo discovered the super-large iron mine has not yet spread, and various forces have already gathered, wanting to get a piece of the action.

There is no way, the mineral resources in the mainland of the empire are really unsatisfactory.

If it was the original agricultural society, it would be able to handle it.But now that the empire has entered a stage of comprehensive development, various large-scale projects and livelihood projects have been launched one after another, and it is impossible to count the consumption of resources.

Relying on overseas transportation alone is always insufficient.

Besides, it is difficult to transport the resources sent overseas to the mainland.The various areas along the coast alone are like a bottomless pit, consuming all these resources.

It has become the consensus of people to look for minerals in inland areas, develop them locally, and apply them locally.

Following the footsteps of the empire's development, mineral prospectors worked tirelessly and traveled all over the world in order to find mineral resources.

The discovery of large iron deposits in what was now considered a barren land in the Northwest quickly caused a sensation.

But the same also brought disputes.

"It's fighting...it's fighting..."

On the streets of Baotou, a large-scale melee was raging, and all kinds of dirty words with dialects were particularly exciting.

Even when the emperor's royal driver arrived, it didn't work.

Long Zuguang was so angry that he quickly asked the guards to go up and clean up these people before calming down the incident.

But when the leaders of both sides were brought up, even Zuo Menggeng didn't know what to say.

"Third brother, you are also a decent person, how can you fight with others?"

Sitting at the bottom of Zuo Menggeng, Xu Erdou's face was red and white, and his clothes were damaged in many places, making him extremely embarrassed.

"It's not that they Shanxi people are unreasonable!"

Before the words fell, the person opposite immediately choked back.

"You fart! Obviously we came first, you have crossed the line."

"You're farting! It's the iron ore discovered by our XCMG exploration team."

"This is the northwest, it's not up to you Jianghuai people to be arrogant."

"Okay, have you had enough noise?"

Zuo Menggeng yelled violently, and the scene fell silent.

However, the two sides still hold their necks and are not convinced by each other.

That's right, a big business involving tens of billions of yuan is not so easy to settle even if the emperor opens his mouth.

For this kind of thing, Zuo Menggeng also has a headache.

It is a good thing that the empire encourages development and exploration, but the people below are like wolves, and it is impossible not to fight for the benefits.

After some understanding, he also understood the whole story.

Because the empire originated in Shandong, the mining group at the beginning was located in Dongping.Later, with the expansion of the site, there was Xugong Group.

But the positioning of Xugong Group is very embarrassing.

Because the mineral resources in the Xuzhou area are better than nothing, they can still meet production needs at the beginning.But in recent years, there has been a trend of scarcity.

Of course, XCMG did not want to sit still, so it began to set its sights on other places.

But everyone knows that minerals are very valuable and can help local development.

All places regard mineral resources as forbidden and do not want outsiders to get involved.

For example, in Jiangxi, XCMG tried every means, and even initiated Li Banghua's peace talks, but they were unable to enter.

In desperation, Xugong Group had no choice but to focus on the remote new land of development.

The local forces in these places are not strong, and XCMG has a national name behind it, so it can open up the situation.

Baiyun Obo was discovered by their exploration team.

But in a short time, a mining group composed of Shanxi businessmen also came here and decided to take it into their pockets.

The border between Shanxi and Shaanxi is very close to Baiyun Obo, and it is taken for granted that Shanxi Mining Group regards it as its own.

In this case, the two sides naturally clashed and even fought.

It turned out that it was a coincidence that Zuo Menggeng came here on a parade.

Although Xu Erdou is Zuo Menggeng's brother-in-law, Shanxi Mining Group is not very worried.

The emperor also had to be reasonable and not favor his relatives.Moreover, Shanxi, like Shaanxi, has focused on environmental governance in recent years. The local economy and finances are under great pressure, and the country will inevitably be inclined.

It can be said that the balance of power between the two sides is still evenly matched.

As for determining the ownership of the Baiyun Obo Iron Mine, it was all in Zuo Menggeng's whim.

Seeing both sides staring at him pitifully, Zuo Menggeng also had some headaches.

How does this make him decide?
No matter how the judgment is made, it is likely to make the other party dissatisfied.

He is the emperor, the head of state, he must have a bowl of water!
"Father, if you want me to say, this matter is also very easy."

Zuo Xuanyan, who was watching the play next to her, suddenly spoke.

Zuo Menggeng was a little surprised. I don't know what kind of strategy the baby girl has?
"What can you do?"

Zuo Xuanyan stood up from the chair, her height of nearly 1.8 meters really made everyone present feel oppressive.

This eldest daughter of the emperor is truly extraordinary.

"Whether it is Xugong Group or Shangong Group, since it has reached this point, one party must give in before the iron ore can be developed. But no matter how you make a decision, they will not be convinced. I don't think it is better... just leave it to Good luck."

Zuo Menggeng thought about it and found that this method might really work.

After all, bad luck can't depend on others.

Xu Erdou also knew that it would be a disadvantage to fight against SEM here.

After all, they are local snakes.

If it is left to luck, it is fair.

"Niece, just tell me, what should I do?"

Zuo Xuanyan chuckled.

"Everyone is here today, so let's be a witness. It's up to you, Uncle San, and the representative of SEM Group, rock-paper-scissors, two out of three rounds. The winner gets the right to develop the Baiyan Obo Iron Mine."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's heads were covered with black lines.

A big business worth billions should be decided by rock-paper-scissors?

But suddenly, everyone's expressions became strange.

This method seems to be nonsense, but for the two parties, the pressure is too great.

If you lose, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life!
