Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 357 Industry Status (Part [-])
The mining matters of Xinzheng Coal Mine and Xinzheng Iron Mine were divided into two parts. One part was to acquire the land of mining area and coal field. Gao Pragmatically entrusted Wubo Gaocai to handle this matter. It is relatively easy to buy land in neighboring Xuzhou.

At the Xuzhou Iron Mine, the Fan family will also come forward to help. Gao Wushi made it clear that he would not engage in the practice of overpowering others, and the price of buying land would follow the market price, or even slightly exceed the market price.The Fan family also knew that a family like the Gao family cared more about reputation, so of course they felt more at ease, and worked extra hard on buying mines.

Speaking of which, if it is now the third year of Wanli, I am afraid that even if the Fan family will still move closer to the Gao family, they will not be so flattering. After all, Fan Shouji is still a new imperial examination candidate. Historically, he did not pass the exam until the third year of Wanli. Scholars.Whether there is a Jinshi or not is absolutely a world of difference for a family.

Gao Pragmatism's investment in Xuzhou Iron Mine is either big or small.It's not big, but compared with Jingshi's side, the estimated scale of Xuzhou Iron Mine is only one-tenth of Jinghua Iron and Steel.

"Jinghua Iron and Steel" is an internal name, and it is divided into several parts externally, each with its own name: its main body includes Jinghua Kaiping Coal Mine Plant, Jinghua Qianxi Iron Ore Plant, and Jinghua Kaiping Iron Smelting Plant.In addition, in Kaiping and Qianxi, there are hundreds of family guards stationed in the first generation, responsible for protecting the safety of the three major factories.

In view of the fact that there were occasional Mongolian left-wing raiders in that generation, although the impression was that the Mongolian left-wingers were not able to please them because of Qi Jiguang's guarding there, but Gao Yushi still did not dare to neglect, except for the guards who were stationed in hundreds of people. In addition, it also ordered a group of miners to be selected to conduct a certain intensity of training in their spare time to serve as the factory guard team, that is, the reserve.

At present, the three major factories add up to nearly 2000 workers, and the factory guard team is close to [-] people. In addition to the resident guards, once the police are called, they can gather nearly [-] strong men every minute. The attack is of course unreliable, and the three major factories are protected. It should be more than enough.The only downside is that there is an extra allowance for the factory guards.

Fortunately, Gao Shi was not short of money for his studies, and he could still afford it.

Gao Xiaozhuang has now been transferred from Jinghua Soap Factory to Jinghua Iron & Steel by Gao Wushi, in charge of coal and iron affairs in Kaiping and Qianxi. It is said that this kid is under a lot of pressure now-although the scale of Jinghua Soap Factory is much smaller than Jinghua Iron and Steel, it is a high-quality man. The profit of the Dandan enterprise is astonishingly large, and it is easy and comfortable to be a supervisor there.

However, Jinghua Steel is still in the investment stage so far. Although it has produced part of the output, the market has not yet opened up. Whether it is raw materials or finished products, the three major factories have a lot of backlogs in the warehouse. Gao Xiaozhuang feels that those coal, Iron ore, iron ingots, and iron bars all seemed to weigh on his head.

Gao Xiaozhuang was anxious, but Gao Yushi was not particularly anxious, because he knew that his involvement in the steel industry was planned in advance. Now that the imperial court has not released the military and private sector, it is normal that the steel and iron in his hands cannot be opened up for a while. After all, for pure civilian use, he can almost only find a way to sell the pig iron part, and the fine steel part has no market at all-why do you need fine steel for civilian use?

But the matter of private military industry can only be promoted by Gao Gong in the court. Zhu Xizhong, Zhang Rong and others can only beat the side drums. Gao Shidu can do nothing but wait.

However, there was a surprise: Qi Jiguang was extraordinarily courageous, and he placed an order with Gao Yushi for [-] stainless steel gun barrels.

It is said that it is the barrel, but it actually includes various metal parts of the gun body. If it is true, he purchased all the metal parts on a Saigon gun from Jinghua Iron and Steel except for the wooden buttstock and other parts.

But the face of the imperial court still needs to be taken care of, so Qi Jiguang did not order the whole Saigong gun, he ordered all the steel and iron parts separately, and then let the guards in Jizhen make the gun stock and other parts, and finally Assemble yourself.

Well, who said the ancients couldn't do such things as taking advantage of loopholes?You can see that Dashuai Qi is so playful.

It's a pity that Qi Jiguang is the only one who can play this game now. Although the three towns of Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi are Gao Gong's direct descendants, they can't stand the lack of money in those three towns. Money, so although Ma Fang and others were drooling after seeing the samples of Jinghua Iron and Steel, they were really ashamed of their pockets and could only watch helplessly.

Here in Xinzheng, mines are mined, coal is mined, steel is smelted and iron is smelted. Gao Yushi estimates that even if the private military industry is approved by the court, he probably won't get too many military orders.After all, in a hinterland like Henan, the need for armaments is far less urgent than that of the towns on the Nine Borders.

The Henan military usually sends troops to suppress bandits at most. Occasionally there are uprisings, and the scale is not large. It's very limited.

However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Gao Pragmatism still left Xinzheng with a production capacity of [-] tons of stainless steel a year in the investment plan. As for the rest, it is all pig iron and wrought iron, and pig iron accounts for the majority. .Obviously, Xinzheng is planning to focus on the civilian market.

In the final analysis, this is a project that benefits the hometown and creates jobs, and its main function is to invite fame.

That being the case, Gao Wushi would not bother too much, leaving the entire coal and iron business in Henan to his mother, Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang was born in a family of merchants. Whether it is her own business acumen or the business talents she can mobilize, they are enough to control Gao Wu's business in Henan. Moreover, this is her own mother, so she can rest assured.

Gao Wuzhen is basically satisfied with the advancement of his industry. If there is anything to worry about, it is the talent.After the Jinghua Iron and Steel shelf was set up, he transferred Gao Xiaozhuang, and now the golden rooster of Jinghua Soap Factory was handed over to Gao Xiaozhuang's third uncle, Gao Fu.

Gao Fu was originally recommended by Gao Xiaozhuang to Gao Yushi, but he is actually good at carpentry and construction. When he was transferred to Sanshen Garden, he was also in charge of mining. Now he is in charge of Jinghua Soap Factory.Fortunately, Jinghua soap factory is on the right track, and Wei Ximin and others are in charge of sales. He only needs to be in charge of production in Sanshenyuan factory, otherwise Gao Fu may not be able to handle it.

Even so, Gao Wushi also felt that Gao Fu should not be allowed to stay in the soap factory. Now Kaiping and Qianxi are just doing small things. In the past, he was responsible for coal and iron mining.
