Chapter 966 The Influence of War

Coal mines are one of the most widely distributed minerals in the world. From south to north, from plateaus to plains, there are patches of black coal seas.The Anxi Protectorate, also known as Hasa in the previous life, naturally has no shortage of coal mines.At the same time, there are also a lot of iron ore here. Not only are the reserves abundant, but the quality is far superior to that in China.

As Anxi became Lu Qi's subordinate for a long time, one after another refined iron ore was unearthed, which was a big surprise for Lu Qian.

The iron ore discovered by the exploration team in Anxi is almost all rich ore, and the iron content of 60% is just a basic line. The high quality makes domestic mine owners want to cry.Especially in several high-quality mines, the iron content of iron ore must exceed 75%, and they are all easy-to-select ores.

The Military Weapons Supervision established a special military weapons foundry in Anxi a few years ago, and several high-quality rich mines were delineated by the Military Weapons Supervision.And also because of this, Lu Qichao's military casting has greatly improved.

With the same casting process and level, gun plate armor made of good iron and good steel is of higher quality than similar armor made of bad iron and bad steel.Just because Anxi is too far away from the Central Plains and transportation is inconvenient, it has little impact on the folk ironmaking and metallurgy in the Central Plains.The main influence is on weapons.

The weapons supervisor almost split himself into two and moved all the systems over.

The leopard has been sitting here for five years.

Now that Tang Long has come here again after several years, the first thing he wants to see is not the factory, but the mine.What's so good about the military factory?He knows all the techniques and equipment inside.It still depends on the mine, which is the foundation of the Second Military Bureau.

"In the battle of Tianzhu, I did my best in the second game, worked hard for the court, and won the praise of the whole court. Today's battle of Tianfang, we must continue to work hard..."

What Tang Long said seemed to be clichés, but in fact he was sincere.Now that it has been several years since the original battle of Tianzhu, the performance of the Second Military Bureau can only be better.

You must know that it was Lu Qian's attention that the Military Weapons Supervision Division was divided into two. The essential reason was to build a military industrial base in Anxi, which would become a favorable backing for the army when it marched westward.

Tang Long's position in the Military Weapons Supervision is unshakable, just like Meng Kang's position in shipbuilding, both are at the level of the ancestor. More than 20 years have passed, and many of the people in power in the military weapons prison are juniors who were introduced or directly brought into the industry by him.

As soon as these words came out, a group of people behind them immediately patted their chests and made a guarantee. "Just wait and see, the boys will definitely not embarrass you!"

Everyone on the construction site also cast their gazes at them.A well-dressed man was surrounded by big figures. This was obviously a bigger figure.

The general manager and supervisor of their mine, who were usually so arrogant and arrogant, could only follow far behind and serve like minions. Anyone who didn't know the dignity of Tang Long and others would be confused.

After walking through the mine, through the steel factory, and finally into the military factory, Tang Longzhen returned to the old leader as before, and came to a very superficial "inspection".But this inspection really gave the No. [-] Military Bureau a shot in the arm, and cheered up everyone in it.

When the time came to the end of February, batches of weapons and equipment whose quality had been confirmed in the reserve of the Second Armament Bureau made Yue Fei and others who arrived in Anxi first, despite the bitter cold and strong wind, very satisfied.

Fighting is fighting for money.This sentence is also an unbreakable truth in the current era.Just like the No. [-] Bureau of Military Weapons, they clearly allocated only coal and iron ore, but secretly digging gold mines, do you really think the cabinet doesn't know?Do you really think the Ministry of Industry didn't notice at all?

Hasa is one of the top ten countries with the largest gold reserves in the world in later generations, and the gold mines in the country are scattered. The Second Military Bureau sold a lot of "labor" from Tianzhu three years ago in the name of increasing mine development. Among them Part of it was used in the gold mine they developed privately.

Twenty percent of the gold dug was handed over to the Ordnance Supervision Headquarters, and the rest became internal dividends for the Second Ordnance Bureau.

But what did the cabinet say?
No!

The military, government, and even the Ministry of Industry itself are all doing the same thing. This is already an open secret.

Therefore, money is very important.

All aspects involved in a battle to destroy the country will involve the comprehensive strength of the entire country.The importance of gold and silver is absolutely number one among the countless aspects involved.

From the building of armaments, to the salaries of soldiers, as well as various material reserves, as well as rewards and pensions for dead and disabled soldiers, which one can lose money?
Anxi is the frontline bridgehead for this battle against Seljuk. The materials in reserve are not only armaments and weapons, but also horses, tents, vehicles, salt and sugar, tea bricks, bacon, cheese, medical supplies, food and other materials.

Especially when armies entered the Western Regions, the price of fresh meat in the market rose a lot in various parts of Anxi.

Not only Anxi, but also the Western Regions were greatly affected.

In Wushi City.

Zhao Bushi and Zhao Fei have already left, and followed the coming Fu Wang Lu E to Anxi.The family suddenly lost two big men, and at first it was uncomfortable for a while.But life must go on.

The loved ones are on the front line, no matter how worried the rear is, they can only pray silently in their hearts.

Among all the adults in the Zhao family, the one who is least affected is Da Zhao.Zhao Si had long made up her mind to take root in the Western Regions, and so had her mind.Now it's her father-in-law and her brother-in-law who are on the front line, not her father and her younger brother.It's enough to shed a few tears in front of others, sigh and add a little concern. She really wants her to treat her father-in-law as her own father and her uncle as her own brother.

"Now that the war has not started, the prices of many things on the market have risen a lot. Fortunately, the newspapers still claim that it will have no impact on the people's markets." Mrs. Zhao took the tea cup from the maid's hand and complained.

"Which things have risen? How much can they rise? It's only a few days' work." Zhao Si threw the handkerchief for wiping his mouth back into the basin, and the maid stepped back while carrying it, and someone brought tea.

Didn't he feel any change in prices?
At least all kinds of prices in Wushi City are under the control of the government. If you want to play speculation, beware of the government's iron fist.

Mrs. Da Zhao gave him a disdainful look, "Yeah, I didn't even get good at it, I just couldn't buy it."

The price of eggs, poultry and fresh meat has not changed at all, and the changes have been realized in the private transactions of "customers".

"Do you know the price of the fish on the table? It hasn't risen on the surface, but in fact? Now one fish can sell three fish, and what's even more annoying is that you can't buy it even if you pay a high price."

If you think about it with your heels, you can figure out why this is.
