Valley Emperor

In West Lake City, Wuhu Province, Feng Xinyuan looked at the application form in his hand, and after reading it carefully, it was the signature and the seal.

​​

After signing and stamping, Feng Xinyuan fell into deep thought.

​​

He knows very well what impact the report he signed will have in the future.

​​

This influence will not only affect the Five Lakes Provinces, but also affect the seven American provinces, and even the global strategy of the entire empire.

​​

Because this is the first time that the Empire officially approved the use of machinery and equipment to mine mineral resources in overseas territories.

​​

Of course, even though Feng Xinyuan is the governor of the Five Lakes Province, he does not have the authority to directly approve this kind of thing.

​​

In fact, this application report has already been approved by many agencies!

​​

It has the approval of the Mining Department of the Ministry of Commerce, the Geological Environment Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, the Fire Department of the Patrol Department, the Health Department of the Ministry of Households, and the National Defense Safety Supervision Committee.

​​

It is signed and stamped by the heads of 18 organizations, large and small!

​​

Except for the Yamen, the Governor of the Five Lakes Province, there are seventeen other Jinling and Gyeonggi institutions.

​​

In other words, this is an application approved and approved by the high-level officials of the empire, and it is also the first application in the history of the Tang Empire to use mechanical equipment to mine overseas.

​​

It is not uncommon to mine minerals overseas. There are many examples of the Datang Empire mining minerals in overseas areas.

​​

In the early stage, it was mining precious metals such as gold, silver, and copper. In the middle stage, it was involved in minerals that are lacking in China, such as saltpeter and bird droppings. In the later stage, it was mining coal mines on a large scale around the world.

​​

Because the steam ships of the Tang Dynasty run all over the world, the demand for coal is not to mention, and it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to dig coal from the mainland and transport it to overseas warehouses for backup. The cost is too high, so the Datang Empire In many overseas territories and even with the indigenous people to mine overseas coal mines.

​​

For example, the British Isles in Europe is a major coal supply base for the Tang Empire in overseas areas. It is conservatively estimated that there are at least hundreds of thousands of local indigenous people who mine coal through manual mining, and then supply the Tang Empire in Europe and other regions. coal consumption.

​​

Therefore, the mining of minerals overseas by the Tang Empire is nothing new, whether it is overseas territories or indigenous control areas, there are similar behaviors.

​​

However, it is absolutely unprecedented for the first time to use machinery and equipment to mine minerals in overseas territories.

​​

The Datang Empire had extremely strict control over mechanical equipment. Over the years, only local areas and partially localized areas were allowed to use mechanical equipment.

​​

Typical examples are the gold mines in South Africa and the oil fields in the Baku region.

​​

You must know that in order to exploit the gold and oil in these places, the Datang Empire specially created a 'local localization' for the first time.

​​

In the follow-up, in order to develop the Nanyang region, the Datang Empire simply took an unprecedented relocation action in human history. The Datang Empire relocated all the Nanyang natives to Africa by means of land replacement.

​​

In the end, the Datang Empire carried out immigrant development in the deserted Nanyang region and operated it as a local.

​​

Today's Nanyang Peninsula area has three more provinces and one state, namely Annan Province, Siam Province, Myanmar Province, and Malacca State. In addition, in Myanmar Province and India, there is also a buffer zone with a very large area. The huge western state of Myanmar, the main function of the state is to prevent the influx of indigenous people in the Indian region. The west end is the Datang frontier defense force, the east is also the Datang frontier defense force, and there is a large area of ​​no-man's land in the middle.

​​

To the west of Western Myanmar, the Tang Dynasty directly under the jurisdiction of Bengal, an overseas territory, and further west there are several indigenous kingdoms supported by the Tang Dynasty.

​​

From the puppet native kingdom, to the overseas territories, to the local isolation zone, and then to the native residential area, the Datang Empire took great pains to prevent the influx of natives from the southwestern border.

​​

From the example of the Nanyang Peninsula region, it can be seen how much attention the Datang Empire paid to localization and the use of machinery and equipment.

​​

Such strict restrictions have also led to the fact that although the current Datang Empire has extensive overseas territories around the world, except for a few elevators, port facilities, ships and other machinery, other mechanical equipment is almost difficult to see. .

​​

The only ones that can be seen more are the major overseas military bases.

​​

For example, the Ceuta military base has relatively complete warships, ordinary ship maintenance facilities,

​​

There are similar facilities in Xinnangang and Xinjinshan.

​​

But now, the Tang Empire is preparing to open a small hole!

​​

This application report said that it was mining coal, but in fact the application was for coal mining equipment, and mining companies that can submit such an application report and finally get approval from many agencies are naturally not ordinary companies.

​​

This application report was submitted by the largest mining company in the empire, South China Mining Company.

​​

During the previous split of the American Mining Company, the company subscribed for some of the coal mines of the American Mining Company in the Americas, several of which are rich mines located in the Five Lakes region.

​​

But even if this company is the largest mining company in the empire, if it wasn't for the approval of the top executives of the empire, they probably wouldn't even be able to write an application.

​​

After all, the senior officials of the South China Mining Company are all serving officials. In terms of rank, the general manager of the South China Mining Company is also of the third grade, and his political consciousness is absolutely passable.

​​

In fact, this application report was actually made by them.

​​

To put it bluntly, the top executives of the empire are going to let the South China Mining Company, a large mining company directly controlled by the empire ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to test the water first.

​​

This can not only meet the needs of economic integration, develop minerals in overseas territories such as the Americas, and supply the local market, but also limit the outflow of a large number of machinery and equipment.

​​

This kind of thing can only be done by large-scale enterprises directly under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises like the South China Mining Company. Other smaller enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises can’t do it. As for private capital!

​​

They couldn't even find a way to submit an application...

​​

In order to obtain the application for the use of machinery and equipment for overseas mining, it is necessary to obtain the approval of seventeen Gyeonggi institutions and the approval of the authorities of overseas territories.

​​

I want to get the approval of so many institutions at the same time. Seriously, without the approval of the Son of Heaven, no one in this world can do it, even if the nine ministers on duty in the imperial study work together to do it, because the Son of Heaven does not The military is 100% against it.

​​

The Tang military, regardless of whether it was the army or the navy, all wanted to maintain the status quo. They would rather have every bullet and every bullet shipped from the mainland, even if it was expensive. Anyway, the empire has the money to let them toss.
