The big man has a living father

Chapter 241: Serving the Country or Working for the Country

"Among recent events, the only one that has a greater impact than the paper money incident is the fact that the shallow coal mines at Tongguan Coal Mine have been mined out."

This incident has a huge impact.

To put it simply, the Tongguan Coal Mine in the past was full of gold. Anyone who went to dig would find black gold.

Tens of thousands of skinny disaster victims and hungry Huns, with an average height of 1.6 meters, which was 10 centimeters shorter than the average height of this era, were able to effortlessly make this coal mine reach the production capacity of this area in the modern period of Huo Hai's previous life.

How easy is this to dig?
But now the digging is done.

Next, if you want to dig coal in Tongguan Coal Mine, you need to dig a mine hole and go down into the mine hole. In the dark place, what is lit? It is an open flame lamp, which is isolated by a net and will not ignite the coal, but it may explode when it encounters gas!

Moreover, in a non-open-air environment, coal ash from mining will be everywhere. It will not just stick to hands and clothes as before, but will fill a person's mouth and nose.

And almost everyone knows that coal mines are toxic.

In other words, going into the mines to mine will shorten your life.

If you dig while wearing a mask, your efficiency will drop dramatically.

Anyway, this place went from picking up money to the hardest job in the entire Chang'an in an instant.

It has changed from a job that everyone was scrambling to get to a job that only the poorest people seem to choose to change their destiny.

This may be the biggest change in recent times.

Jiang Buyi reacted: "Because we need to do business in various places, we need money for transportation. If the money stays in the hands of the Huo family, they will not be able to complete a better capital circulation and build a local capital chain."

"So, they want to use paper money to build a funding chain."

Jiang Buyi thought for a moment and then responded, "They don't think they can make as much money by opening a mine in the local area as they do by opening a coal mine in Tongguan, right?"

Huo Hai: "Why not? The examples are right in front of us, and there is the successful case of Tongguan Coal Mine. What are they afraid of?"

Others may not know, but doesn’t Jiang Buyi, who has followed Huo Hai for so many years, know this?

Tongguan Coal Mine actually cannot make that much money.

The prices of the coal mines in Chang'an were forcibly set by Huo Hai and Liu Che, rather than according to the prices formed by the market itself.

Including the salaries of the workers at the Tongguan Coal Mine, the prices were actually set by Huo Hai and were not the salaries they deserved.

Simply put, how much coal sells for depends on how much people in the market are willing to pay for it.

How much a coal miner gets paid has nothing to do with how much coal he digs, but rather depends on how much money people in the market are willing to pay for the job.

Chang'an has formed a powerful economic cycle. As long as people go to Chang'an, they will have no trouble finding a job. Therefore, workers have no shortage of jobs paying 3,000 yuan a month, but the jobs are in Chang'an, not in their own counties.

If there is a good job in their county that pays less, they can accept it.

But it can’t be much less.

How much coal is sold for depends on how much the market is willing to pay for it.

Tongguan Coal Mine is about to change from a large aggregated company into many decentralized coal mining companies. Although it cannot compete with Tongguan Coal Mine as a whole, it can compete with Tongguan Coal Mine locally.

But the problem is that you are not willing to accept Changan’s low-price order, but some coal mines are willing to accept it.

So, the price of coal is about to start plummeting.

At the beginning, Huo Hai deliberately paid the workers high wages. In fact, even if the workers were not paid, they could still work hard and have a meal. They worked harder than anyone else.

In fact, coal could have been sold at a higher price at the time, but Huo Hai thought that this price was conducive to development, so he set this price.

Now, coal prices are about to plummet, but workers' wages will not drop much.

In the past, the profit and salary ratio of Tongguan Coal Mine was almost ten percent!

Tongguan Coal Mine spent a huge amount of money to research various technologies, improve workers' treatment, and build factory areas.

After that, profits are still super high.

Now, if they want to open a mine, first they need to approve documents, second they need to compete with the small coal mines that already exist in various places, third they need to buy land, and fourth they need to continue to pay workers high wages.

Fifth, the more places there are to produce coal, the lower the price of coal.

But, it’s not like he has no profit, he does make money.

By then, compared with other industries, coal mining will be a waste of time and a waste of food.

However, this does not affect the fact that coal mines occupy the most important position in the current Han industrial system.

Because it is the coal mining industry that has a high status, not a specific coal mine.

So, this is a sting operation.

Huo Hai wanted to make the big businessmen who had money to invest from the great nobles learn Chang'an's cycle.

However, Chang'an has formed a super-terrifying siphon effect, which is destined to prevent other places from completing the big cycle.

The five cities, three ports, Longxi and Huaishuo that are qualified to complete the big cycle have already been planned in advance.

The energy, brains, ambition and greed of the big businessmen are the driving forces of the next stage of the Han Dynasty.

Next, the business will have very little profit.

In order to expand their profits, big businessmen can only continue to expand production locally and win by quantity.

To expand production, workers are needed.

Workers need housing.

Living requires urbanization.

The urbanization process is the internal driving force of the Han Dynasty, and outward expansion is the external driving force of the Han Dynasty.

Huo Hai is confident that if everything goes on fast track, Huo Hai can use the current population of less than 200 million to develop the super powerful power that exploded in the previous life when China had a population of 700 million.

The most important thing is that this urbanization process is actually the process of converting agricultural land into commercial land.

Over the past year and a half, through the unremitting efforts of Huo Hai and Liu Che, the two have completed the acquisition of land in important areas of the Han Dynasty.

Knowing that land annexation was inevitable, Huo Hai chose to accomplish it himself.

In other words...in the subsequent urbanization process, most of the houses built for workers were on the land owned by Huo Hai and Liu Che.

In other words, all the nobles and businessmen in the Han Dynasty tried their best to launch the urbanization process frantically for meager profits, and carried out business reforms in various places to learn from Chang'an.

In fact, it was to help Huo Hai and Liu Che to cultivate real estate clients.

Unlike his previous life, Huo Hai intentionally lowered the price of properties and did not let real estate prices explode.

This is because Huo Hai does not need to use real estate as an internal driving force.

Now is the first round of urbanization and real estate prices are still relatively low.

By the end of this round, four railways connecting Chang'an to the four borders of the empire had been successfully built.

The main framework has been successfully built, plus the two shipping routes of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, plus the already fixed southern shipping and shipping to North America.

Build a large skeleton.

When that time comes, the era of large-scale infrastructure will come!

The era of large-scale infrastructure construction just coincides with the youth period of the current 200 million population explosion.

There will be more than 70 million adult male workers in the Han Dynasty and more than 50 million female workers in light industries.

During this stage, large-scale infrastructure will complete the upgrade of Dahan’s road network, and at the same time, the electricity era will begin.

At the end of this stage, the Han Dynasty will have formed a terrifying and insurmountable gap with the entire world, or a gap that future generations will simply not be able to overcome.

That is the advantage of modernization over primitive tribes.

With a population of 200 million benefiting from the infrastructure dividend, the GDP will be at least a thousand times higher than it is now.

Once the era of large-scale infrastructure is over, these workers who reap the benefits will once again give rise to a population peak.

This population will be controlled between 500 million and 700 million.

In this era, we need to raise the educational level to the point where everyone has a high school diploma or even more than 10 percent has received higher education.

After completing the rapid development in the electricity era, relying on various water conservancy projects and power projects built through large-scale infrastructure, various industries began to develop frantically.

By then, we will have complete industries and complete the second real estate development.

Then the real terrifying power will erupt.

This centripetal force will directly bind the world to the big man.

From now on, everyone has to rely on the Han industry for survival.

In this process, all people in the world will adapt to their new identities, miners, farmers, loaders, and porters. At the same time, the global spread of the county system and the feudal system will be completed.

Building a global harvest wave with a ten-year deadline.

To be more specific, each place paid taxes to the Han Dynasty, 1% of which was provided to the nobles of the fiefdom, and 2% was used by officials, ambassadors, and troops sent by the Han Dynasty.

Twenty percent is used for local construction.

The rest of the money was all left there, waiting for the big man to withdraw it.

Once the Han Dynasty's ten-year deflation arrives, it will withdraw this money from all over the world and spread it out, turning the products accumulated by ordinary people everywhere for ten years into blood that supplies the Han Dynasty's heartbeat.

At the end of the big man's heart beating strongly, streams of blood were transported to the heart, triggering the next beat.

This is Huo Hai’s plan for the world.

The first phase of this plan took eight years and has been completed.

Huo Hai estimates that the subsequent urbanization process will take ten years.

Huo Hai estimates that the next era of large-scale infrastructure will last for 30 years.

Huo Hai estimates that the era of domestic demand in real estate will last for 50 years.

It took a total of one hundred years for the Han Dynasty to complete its transformation of itself and the world.

Jiang Buyi looked at Huo Hai and said, "You... if the first stage requires burning the old rules, and the second stage requires burning the rights and interests of the nobles, then in the third stage, what will be burned?"

Huo Hai: "It is the fate of all people in the world. We should use their equal rights to be kings, to dominate, to become extremely wealthy, and to become landlords in exchange for a stable world."

Jiang Buyi: "Master Wu Hou... I think there is a huge loophole in this plan."

Huo Hai looked at Jiang Buyi.

Jiang Buyi: "When this plan is completed, you, your majesty, even the crown prince, and everyone now will be dead."

"Will the emperor of the Han Dynasty still be able to implement this plan by then?"

Huo Hai thought of Wang Mang.

Even if there was no Wang Mang, there would be Li Mang and Zhang Mang.

One hundred years later...it seemed that Wang Mang might come to power.

Huo Hai looked into the distance.

Did he kill Wang He?
Huo Hai looked into the distance and said, "Actually, it's good for someone to make some noise. With the military power at that time, it wouldn't cause the destruction of the Earth."

Jiang Buyi:!

The Earth...is destroyed?!

Can humans do this kind of thing?
Huo Hai didn’t know whether history could be corrected, whether it could be changed, and whether its direction could be altered.

But Huo Hai wants to try.

In fact, if this three-step strategy is completed, as long as there is no problem with the brain, will the trend of thought really reach this point?

But...tomorrow's consequences will be determined by today's causes. Now I have to create a moral system for the development of the Han Dynasty.

In the future, will people who have never seen blood move towards the direction of the Virgin Mary in this system?

If they leave, there will inevitably be turmoil.

However, at that time, people in other parts of the world would not be able to catch up with the Han people even if they worked at full speed for decades. Wouldn’t decades be enough?

It’s a pity that if morality really goes in the direction of Madonna and ends up being destroyed, it may then go in the direction of Devil.

Huo Hai: "I'm not a god. I'm just planning the future of the Han Dynasty for the next 100 years, not 10,000 years."

"I only understand the future of the next 100 years. I have no idea what the world will be like after 100 years."

Huo Hai wants to use a hundred years to complete the three hundred years of the industrial age.

Use one year as if it were three years.

At the moment, it seems to be ahead of schedule.

Thinking of this, Huo Hai said: "Let's go home."

"We were originally talking about a debate, how did we get to this point?"

Jiang Buyi pulled the rope of the carriage: "To be honest, if your tricks get out, everyone in the Han Dynasty will stand behind you."

“Because no one wants to live a hard life.”

"If people around the world can live a hard life on behalf of the Han Chinese, which Han Chinese can refuse?"

Huo Hai: "What nonsense are you talking about? That is to lead the people of the world to live a good life with enough food and clothing that they have never had before. What do you mean by a hard life?"

Jiang Buzhi finally understood why every time a reform that seemed to be bound to cause a huge wave was proposed by Huo Hai, it would go smoothly without any obstacles.

In fact, it all depends on the sophistry of the mouth and thinking that is ahead of the times.

Jiang Buyi shook his head. He didn't have that ability. He could only learn how to do practical things in order to do more and accomplish more.

As long as you do enough things, you will succeed in enough things, and your success will be big enough.

Huo Hai looked into the distant sky.

At the end of the first eight years, the assets of the great nobles will be sacrificed to complete the construction of credit currency.

At the end of the next ten years, what will be sacrificed is the emperor's power.

Because only the emperor has the power to carry out large-scale infrastructure projects.

But Liu Che would not do that.

Because of what Liu Che wanted, he and Huo Hai had to part ways after ten years.

What Liu Che wanted was to surpass the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, to crush the First Emperor, and to create an imperial career that would never be surpassed.

He doesn't care about ordinary people. To him, ordinary people are just numbers.

What Huo Hai wanted to do was the same as what Liu Che did, but the reason Huo Hai did this was to give ordinary people a bottom line. He gave ordinary people in the Han Dynasty a solid principal that they could always earn interest on and could never spend.

The first requirement for the existence of this principal is that it is deposited on a regular basis, and the first requirement is that the person is the owner of the money and cannot withdraw the money at will.

Liu Che can’t do it.

Therefore, how to turn to the planned route in ten years instead of turning into a military-industrial complex is a problem that Huo Hai needs to find a way to solve.

But Huo Hai didn't want to say it, and he wouldn't say it.

But how to do this is difficult.

Want to rebel?

The big guy will be torn apart.

How can this be achieved if we cannot rebel?
He supported Liu Ju to quickly ascend to the throne and made Liu Che the emperor emeritus.

Liu Ju's intelligence did not meet this requirement.

Liu Mo? Ten years later, Liu Mo was only fifteen years old.

Who else?
Princess Wei Chang.

Huo Hai vaguely remembered that he had learned in history that there was a pair of husband and wife consuls in English history, William III and Mary II.

Mary II was the daughter of King James II of England.

Huo Hai felt that he should be able to remember it correctly.

……

Through the fog, Liu Che saw the most important thing at a glance.

Huo Hai told the people of the country that he would open their wallets and take money from them.

They actually accepted it.

"Where is the prince?"

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is studying the gearbox."

Liu Che: "Ah."
