Valley Emperor

For American Mining Company, Li Xuan is more aware of the good and the bad than others.

Just as Wang Haitao, the general manager of the American Mining Company, said, the American Mining Company has too many mineral resources. In addition to precious metal minerals, the company also owns nearly half of the proven reserves of various minerals in the Americas.

Most of the iron ore and coal mines in the Great Lakes region, which are rich in reserves, are mostly under the company's control.

The company also owns a large swathe of the Americas Gulf of Mexico region, where oil reserves are extremely rich.

Such a behemoth will have a great impact on the Americas.

A bad guess will cause problems.

So, even if Wang Haitao didn't say it, he was going to split the American Mining Company.

However, when splitting, we must also consider the strength of the empire's control over the resources of the Americas, and even keep the same pace, because even if it is split, it is also a split within the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and private capital will not be added. .

After the coal meeting this time, the coal development plan of the Datang Empire in the next few years was basically determined.

The core is to use large-scale machinery and equipment to reduce costs and increase production significantly, and the ultimate goal is to increase the supply of coal to the market.

In order to alleviate the current shortage of coal in the market and the resulting high coal price.

The value of coal in the Datang Empire has continued to decline over the years, but the overall price is still relatively high.

This is mainly because the Datang Empire has too much demand for coal!

Not to mention the huge amount of coal used for industry, the coal used for transportation is also a huge number. Every day, countless steam engines of various types are running, and the amount of coal that needs to be consumed is very terrifying.

In addition, another major source of coal consumption is the domestic coal used by the people.

With the emergence of briquettes, coal has become the preferred fuel for the people of the Tang Dynasty. It is used to cook and heat water. Nowadays, coal is indispensable in the lives of people in the Tang Dynasty, especially urban residents.

The amount of coal consumed every day is astronomical.

Therefore, in the past few years, although the coal output of the Datang Empire has increased year by year, and now it has reached an annual output of 300 million tons, it is still not enough for the huge empire.

After all, the empire has hundreds of millions of people, and has established a perfect industrial system. This coal consumption is very terrifying.

This is also the reason why Li Xuan specially held a coal meeting. The existing coal output is still not enough, far from enough.

After the coal meeting was over and the strategic goal of doubling coal production within three years was determined, Li Xuan then convened another steel meeting.

Like coal, steel is also the basic material of an industrial country and has a great influence.

At the iron and steel conference, Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company and other important iron and steel companies in the empire also launched their own production expansion plans, preparing to greatly increase their steel production capacity to meet the empire's huge steel demand.

In the past, the empire's demand for steel was mainly concentrated in the defense field, and later in the general industrial field. Now, even the construction industry in the private sector has a huge demand for steel.

For example, the water pipes in contemporary cities are basically steel water pipes.

For example, new buildings in this year have already begun to use reinforced concrete structures.

This kind of building structure was only used very rarely at the beginning. Now, with the decline in the price of steel and cement, and also because of the popular use of steam-hydraulic elevators, most urban buildings are now inclined to build high-rise buildings, which is naturally a large number of Use of steel.

The demand for steel in Datang society is growing day by day.

So increasing steel capacity is just as important as increasing coal capacity.

After the production capacity of these two major industrial basic materials rises, it will cause a series of impacts to meet the huge market demand of the empire and stimulate the further development of the economy.

At the same time, it will also bring a very important additional impact, that is, the cost of the ship will be further reduced, and the transportation cost will be further reduced.

Lower shipping costs will be the best tool for linking local and overseas territories.

Distance is not the key factor hindering domestic and overseas territories, transportation costs are!

Qingpu Meat Company's global meat supply system is proof of this. People plan to purchase meat products globally. After the frozen transportation will be delivered to the country, it is expected that the cost will not be much more expensive than that from the northern part of the empire and Central Asia. Even more convenient.

When there is a huge local market, overseas territories can calmly develop the grain industry, cash crop industry and animal husbandry, without worrying about the excessive production of agricultural and livestock products that cannot be sold.

In the spring of the 41st year of Xuanping, when various plans were initially launched, the American Mining Company also officially announced that it would sell some of its businesses to other companies, in order to return funds to focus on the development of precious metal minerals in the Americas.

Among them, the coal business was split and sold to a number of companies such as South China Mining.

The same goes for the steel business and the oil business.

They have retained precious metals and copper mines and other businesses, and have withdrawn a large amount of funds for development.

After the split, the American Mining Company has actually existed in name only. Even though it seems to be quite large, it can no longer control the situation in the Americas.

The split of the American Mining Company is nothing to others. Anyway, this company is wholly-owned by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and it was even delisted directly after being acquired.

And after the split, other businesses were also sold to large enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.

To put it bluntly, it means that the left hand changes the right hand, and there is no difference for ordinary people.

But at this time, it was a great shock to give some powerful people in the Americas, especially the three vassal kings!

High-level executives all know what role the American Mining Company played in promoting localization back then. One of the three major lords of North America counts as one, and all of them have been in contact with the American Mining Company.

But now, the American Mining Company has already existed in name only.

They know why this is so!

In Wuhuzhou City, Zheng Wangfu, Li Jing, the sixth son of the emperor, looked at the letter in his hand, and after reading it, he put the letter on a candle and burned it! "

A middle-aged man in casual clothes next to him said: "Your Highness, this American Mining Company is the key to our breakout, it's a pity!"

But King Zheng smiled and said, "What do you know? It's okay to split it up. A mere American mining company doesn't matter!"

King Zheng stood up: "If this American mining company is not split up, this king will still be worried, but now!"

This remark, the person beside him was stunned.

"However, we have put a lot of thought into this American Mining Company before. Without the support of our side and the other two, how could the American Mining Company have obtained so many resources, and those shareholders were only introduced by us. It's just an agent, and now it's gone, isn't it all worthless!"

King Zheng smiled: "You said, what's going on behind this American Mining Company, can the royal father know? So, it's okay to split it up, it means that this matter is over."

The man immediately showed horror: "Could it be that the Son of Heaven knows?"

King Zheng glanced at him and waved directly: "Okay, let's go back and prepare for tomorrow's dinner party. The first governor of the Five Lakes Province has taken office, and the reception work is still well done!"

When the man saw King Zheng like this, he hesitated, but he went out anyway.

After waiting for the people to go out, in the huge and enlarged study, King Zheng whispered to himself: "What do you do as Hantong, let alone the American Mining Company, even if this king ate what he had tonight. , Han Tong probably has a perfect record!"

"So, what this king and a few other families have done, the royal father knows very well!"

"But, did the emperor stop him?"

"No!"

King Zheng knew very well that his every move was under the supervision of Han Tong. No matter what he did, his father would know.

He also knew that his father allowed him to do a lot of things, and even purchased the most advanced Li Fu rifles and rear-mounted artillery and other advanced weapons for the palace guards through local channels. The father turned a blind eye.

So King Zheng knew that his father allowed him to do some things, but he didn't know where the bottom line was!

So in the past many years, what he has done is to keep testing!

To win over the officers and soldiers of the palace guard, to increase the strength of the palace guard, to conduct military training for the servants in the palace, and to hand over civil and military officials in the Americas, these fathers and emperors have never stopped him.

But some have been blocked. For example, he tried to expand the size of the palace guards, and this was just the beginning. The captain of his palace guards was directly transferred back to the homeland.

King Zheng is very clear that this is a warning from the father!

Therefore, without saying a word, he directly stopped the attempt to secretly expand the size of the palace guard.

This time, the American Mining Company, of course, was behind the means of him and the other two brothers.

At first, the father didn't say anything, but then he directly took over the American Mining Company, and now it is directly split. This also shows that the control of North America's mineral resources also violated the father's bottom line.

Now that you know the bottom line, naturally, don't be foolish enough to offend again.

Over the years, he has tested the bottom line of his father again and again. He needs his father's permission to do what he is not allowed to do.

Over the years, he has known a lot of his father's bottom line.

But he still couldn't understand why his father did this!

Judging from the father's actions, he does not allow overseas territories to defect to the independent ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This can be seen from the empire's series of governance methods, the economic development plan, it sounds nice.

King Zheng is not stupid. He can see that this economic development plan has many benefits for overseas territories, but it will also make overseas territories lose their independence, and then completely become local vassals.

However, the father emperor has never stopped them overseas vassal kings from improving their prestige, especially their influence in overseas territories.

Even the father emperor was happy to see the influence of his overseas vassal kings in the fief increased.

And this is obviously very contradictory!

To be honest, he couldn't understand why his father would do this!

If you want to avoid mutiny, you don't need to do anything else, just call all these vassal kings back to Jinling.

The Son of Heaven has an edict, who dares not to obey?

All have to go back to Jinling obediently, and naturally there will be no problem of cutting down the clan at that time.

But the Son of Heaven did not do that!

If the Son of Heaven wanted their overseas vassal kings to be independent, why would they block the localization of overseas territories?

He doesn't understand!

Just because King Zheng doesn't understand, doesn't mean other people don't understand either!

As for the seventh son of Emperor Nanhezhou, King of Song Dynasty, after learning that the American Mining Company was completely split, he laughed in the empty Huxin Pavilion: "Father, you are too optimistic!"

"Emperor all over the world is the Li family, how easy is it!"

"Even if my son is willing to take sides, but the courtiers around him are unwilling, and neither are my brothers!"

"There is no king in the world, and there is no king and ministers on the coast of the land. There can only be one emperor!"

"The battle for orthodoxy is bigger than the sky!"
