Emperor Liu Hong

() "Is it necessary to borrow money to build roads, and then pay back when the court has money?" Liu Hong immediately denied that such a method is not a long-term solution. "But without a loan, how can we build roads?"

Liu Hong was thinking about it. Hu Zhao knew that Liu Hong was dissatisfied with his method, so he said again: "Your Majesty, if you don't want to pay road tolls, you can also use freight stations and long-distance stations to attract business. Only those who participate in road construction can operate long-distance transportation. .And the division of shares based on the roads he built should also be resolved."

"Well, that's a good idea."

There are many railways in later generations built according to this method, which should be able to solve this problem.Now, Liu Hong has convinced Hu Zhao, he is absolutely capable, and his flexibility is too strong.

The long-distance transportation has been solved, and Liu Hong has not forgotten about the transportation in the city.This one doesn't need to build roads, and it can be opened after getting some buses. Its establishment will save a lot of trouble.

Although hydrogen boats are dangerous, they must be utilized.It is definitely a weapon in mountainous areas and places with inaccessible traffic.So Liu Hong made a lot of airports to stop the airships. This airport is very simple, in fact, it is an open space, and it doesn't cost much.And because it is not very safe, it is only used in mountainous areas and places with extremely inconvenient traffic. In other places, it can only be used after helium boats and airplanes are produced in the future.

To say that the transportation volume is large, it has to be a train.Liu Hong has already figured out the train. His steel factory in Hejian and the iron mine in Haixing are transported by train.

But Liu Hong's current trains use steam engines, which are too polluting.Liu Hong originally thought that after the internal combustion engine was modified, he would use the internal combustion engine directly.But that thing is not so easy to transform. It seems that in the short term, the power of the internal combustion engine still cannot move the train.

For a long period of time, the big men were in the period of immigration, and transportation became extremely important.In comparison, even if the steam engine is a bit polluted, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.So Liu Hong decided to use steam engine trains first, and then replace the internal combustion engine after it matures.

To use trains, we need to build railways, and to build railways, we need to use a lot of steel.Based on Liu Hong's current steel production of these blast furnaces, it will definitely not be able to meet the needs of the railway.

In order to be able to quickly build railways, it is necessary to develop a large amount of steel industry.In the Han Dynasty, the monopoly of salt and iron was practiced. Liu Hong had already liberalized the salt industry, and now he plans to liberalize the mining industry as well.

However, these heavy industries are all related to the lifeline of the country, and they cannot be controlled by others.Therefore, although Liu Hong has liberalized these industries, the business review of these industries is strict.

Heavy industry is relatively expensive, especially when the scale becomes larger in the future, it will be even more expensive.Therefore, it is difficult to develop the lifting industry only by personal strength.After Liu Hong's consideration, he decided to implement a joint-stock system for heavy industry.

However, although the joint-stock system is implemented, Liu Hong must ensure that he can hold the shares, so as to promote the development of heavy industry and prevent the lifeline from being held by others.

This thing is not difficult to handle. After all, almost all the mining mines are in the hands of the imperial court. The imperial court can use the mines as shares to form joint-stock factories, and it can definitely be controlled.

Although the imperial court controls the factory, it does not manage the factory.The management of the factory is managed by recruiting professional managers.The imperial court only sent people to check the accounts regularly, and prohibited behaviors that endangered the integrity of the country.

There are only so many mines in total, and the imperial court holds some of them, while the royal family holds some of them, which basically ensures national security. Coupled with the strict review of management rights, it is not a big deal to let go of heavy industry.

The development of heavy industry is inseparable from mines, so it is best for them to build factories as close to mines as possible.

The mines discovered before were all owned by the imperial court, and the imperial court took the majority of the shares as a matter of course.However, Liu Hong is the emperor with a special status, and he insisted on grabbing a part of the equity in the hands of the imperial court.Coupled with Liu Hong's own investment, he can also become a major shareholder in those factories.

But now, mines that have not yet been discovered, according to the new regulations, belong to whoever owns the land.Liu Hong traveled across time in later generations and knew of a large number of undiscovered mines.Moreover, these mines, in the territory of Dahan, were almost all bought by Liu Hong long ago.Therefore, the smelters built in these places are basically controlled by Liu Hong.

All the aristocratic families know that mines and smelters are industries that make a lot of money, so they are desperately involved in it.But among them, except a few lucky ones, found mines in their land.Others, if they want to join this industry, they will all have to bleed.

Although Liu Hong has a lot of mines and can save a lot of money, even so, he can't build so many smelters by himself.Originally, Liu Hong wanted to attract investment in an all-round way, but when he saw that this industry was so attractive, he realized that this was a good opportunity to buy people's hearts.

The chamber of commerce established by Liu Hong was crowded with people today, and it was not at all deserted as usual.Because they got the call to come here for a meeting.

"Brother Zhang, you are too mean. You have become first-class merchants, and you don't know how to invite a guest. You really don't treat everyone as brothers."

"Brother Wang, my younger brother just got a first-rank merchant. It's no big deal. If you hadn't spent all your money on marrying concubines, you would have become a first-rank merchant long ago."

"That's right, Brother Wang, I heard that you married No. 30 fifth concubine a few days ago. You have married so many, is it okay?"

"I said the surname is Sun, are you talking nonsense? Of course I can do it."

"Okay, everyone, don't make a fuss. If you continue to make a fuss, you will hurt your peace." Hearing that the more he said, the more shameful he was, someone stepped forward to stop him.

At this time, the person surnamed Sun stopped irritating the person surnamed Wang, and said to the person surnamed Zhang: "Brother Zhang, our chamber of commerce can be regarded as the ancestor of all associations. But other industry associations are all developing vigorously. They are trying their best to pull people, but our chamber of commerce, why is there no movement at all?"

"Brother Sun, our chamber of commerce was established by His Majesty, so anyone can enter. We are all the direct descendants approved by His Majesty, and other people will definitely not be able to enter without His Majesty's approval."

"But it's not a problem if the Chamber of Commerce doesn't develop? There aren't many businesses for us to choose?"

"Don't worry about this. Since we are direct descendants, when something good happens, His Majesty will of course take care of us first. I think this is the reason for the meeting today."

This person's guess is really right. Of course, if there is a good thing, you should take care of your own people first. Otherwise, when you need someone to work hard, no one will care about you.

While those people were talking, Liu Zhong arrived.Now Liu Zhong is not ordinary, he is not only the Marquis, but also the head of the House of Internal Affairs appointed by Liu Hongqin, who is in charge of all the internal affairs of the royal family, a real powerful figure.

After he came, he didn't talk nonsense, and immediately took out the investment promotion reports of the smelters.

When these people saw the report, they were taken aback.They all knew that Liu Hong was miraculous, but they didn't expect that Liu Hong was so miraculous.The mines he found by himself are much more than the people in the world have found over the years.

Moreover, the investment conditions of the smelters like Liu Hong are much more favorable than those outside.This time, these people were determined to follow Liu Hong.
