Chapter 539: Coal, black soil
The Qin newspaper did not have much positive reports on the news of the carve-up of technology. "Financial Express" only reported that the number of Qin state-registered commercial banks has risen to a new height. This report is only an information consultation report.
in contrast. The stock market has undergone a major adjustment. First of all, news came from the Xianyang Stock Exchange. The Stock Exchange will announce the issuance of five new stocks. These five stocks are in addition to two Wenyang domestic stocks. Investors like to refer to the stocks beginning with Wenyang as Wenyang stocks. Because this stock group is very large. For example, there are currently 22 listed commercial organizations in Qin State. Thirteen of them carry the word Wenyang.
The newly listed Wenyang stocks are investment bank and technology developer bank. The other three companies are similar in that they are mainly electrical appliance developers and new types of transportation. Bashu Yangtze River Transport Company. The last one was established by the Navy Club. They will be used as civilian vessels to assist the navy in completing transportation tasks.
The second is the futures aspect. Qin Guo incorporated coal and crude oil as new varieties into the trading scope. Although crude oil extraction and refining have a certain level of technology. But the blank interval is very large. In this industry, Yingyu hasn't even noticed the investment. This gives some people a huge opportunity. Not only crude oil, but also coal. Although the internal combustion engine appeared. But it has not yet reached a large-scale popularization status. in contrast. The status of coal is now unshakable. And coal mining is still in a blank. The reason why Yingyu did not enter is simple. Because she has mastered a large area of coal mining land, and it is an open-pit coal mine. She has a great advantage in cost. For this reason, she is unwilling to spend too much money on coal. Instead, all energy money is transferred to gold.
These business profit calculations are still beyond our control. Only go to explore coal mines and iron ore. Crude oil will do. Other Shangwen needs to formulate a series of business regulations. The Environmental Protection Law has been adopted. If the mining of mineral resources is unregulated, the environmental problems caused will bring great trouble to the economy. This point no longer needs to be proved.
However, Shangwen made an unexpected discovery. Similar legal clauses appeared in Qin's legal system. This allows Shangwen to reduce a lot of work. What he needs is to make some appropriate improvements based on the current situation.
Shang Wen was busy drafting articles. Li Mu in Xianyang seemed very relaxed. Between Zhao and Qin, at the cost of Qin's huge concessions, Zhao provided a large amount of labor. The two sides reached an economic mutual assistance treaty. In the next five years, Qin will provide Zhao Guo with a total of 200,000 gold low-interest loans to help Zhao Guo recover his economy. The State of Zhao needed to send a total of about 100,000 troops to help the State of Qin eliminate the Xiongnu and the Western Regions. Qin State is responsible for all military supplies and logistics supplies. In order to strengthen the friendship between the two countries. Zhao State does not levy any taxes on Qin State merchants, and Qin State maintains a low tax rate of 1%. Shangwen and Li Mucao signed the treaty. A copy of the treaty was quickly transferred to King Zhao. Li Mu just walked around for the rest.
Li Mu is still interested in the great changes in Qin. At the Qin State Staff Headquarters, he saw the telegram. And the telephone line being erected. These two quick communication tools opened up Li Mu's horizons. Not only that, he also wants to introduce these two technologies. But these two technologies require high patent fees. And need to negotiate with private companies. This made Li Mu puzzled. But if you think about it, you can figure it out, such a quick thing. How could Qin give it to Zhao so easily.
It's the small smooth tube and the tingling copper wire. He doesn't know what's going on? Wang Jian also learned about it after studying and understanding. There is something called electricity in the copper wire. This thing is like water. Wang Jian explained his understanding to Li Mu. Li Mu only understood.
"Electricity. Isn't that the lightning from the sky? You Qin State actually tame the lightning?" Li Mu asked the question suddenly when he looked at the phone.
"This. I don't know. I don't understand how this thing came from. I only know that there is a factory that specializes in providing electricity support. We can rely on these things to maintain communication." Wang Jian said.
"Can I take a look at that factory?" Li Mu asked.
"Yes." Wang Jian said.
The scale of the power plant is not very large. Because at this time the power plant still generates direct current. Not alternating current. The voltage value is not very high either. The highest is one hundred volts. However, Qin Guo directly uses voltage as a unit of voltage.
Power plants still use steam, but rely on steam turbines to work. This is much more advanced than steam.
"What is this dark thing?" Li Mu paid great attention to details. When inspecting the coal, he noticed that although the coal is all black. But it is absolutely different from the charcoal used by Zhao Guo.
"This is coal. Compared with charcoal, wood emits higher heat, and the temperature of the stove is higher." Wang Jian explained.
"Oh." Li Mu didn't feel dirty at all, grabbing a handful of coal, smelling and tasting it.
"This thing is weird. Can I take a little back?" Li Mu asked.
"Yes, this thing is very common. Yes," Wang Jian said.
Li Mu who visited afterwards seemed absent-minded. After the visit hastily ended. Li Mu returned to the post house. He wants to study coal. The reason why Li Mu wanted to bring this thing back. Mainly because he seemed to have seen him nowhere when he was fighting in the north.
"Coal. Coal. Coal." Li Mu said as he walked back and forth.
"Where did you see this thing?" Li Mu shook his head and couldn't remember it.
"General, there is a young man asking to see you." The guard said from outside the door.
"Oh. Call him in." Li Mu said.
"Grandpa." Li Zuoche came in. He came to Xianyang on vacation to walk around.
"It's okay, what are you doing here?" Li Mu obviously meant to be punished.
But Li Zuoche looked at the coal on the table and smiled.
"Grandpa is also studying coal?" Li Zuoche asked.
"En." Li Mu snorted.
"Grandpa, this thing is in the clouds of my Zhao country, and it is there for generations. Grandson also played this black soil when he was a child. Did Grandpa forget it?" Li Zuoche said.
"Yes. I said I can't remember. It's this black soil. Qin State actually used him to generate electricity." Li Mu said, picking up the coal.
"It's not just power generation. The big iron train is also operated by him. It is said that in the north, Qin has been mining on a large scale. It is used to smelt iron. This thing is very fast to smelt iron." Li Zuoche is obviously dealing with coal. Have a deep understanding.
