Almighty System Great Master Qin

Chapter 30 Daqin Mining Group
Early the next morning, Xiao Hong brought everyone to the newspaper office and said, "This is where everyone will work from now on."

Everyone looked at the imperial guards on duty outside the door, and most of them couldn't help trembling in their hearts. What did Lord Hou ask us to do? There are actually imperial guards on duty in the palace.

"cough cough"

Xiao Hong cleared his throat.

"A newspaper office is a place where newspapers are printed. Newspapers..."

Xiao Hong thought for a while and said: "Newspapers mean to advertise widely. However, unlike books on bamboo slips, the content on them must be objective and true. Your job is to use movable type to typesetting the articles after the editors have reviewed the articles. .”

"When you are typesetting, you must follow the content of the article, and you must not carry any private work. Once you find out, you will be expelled from the newspaper. The person in charge of typesetting will practice with him first."

A servant led the typesetting worker to the typesetting room.

"And you are the reporters of the newspaper office." Xiao Hong pointed to another group of people and said.

"Reporter?" Everyone looked at Xiao Hong in bewilderment. They didn't mean typesetting workers when they recruited yesterday, so why did they become reporters.

"The reporter is responsible for collecting all kinds of information in Xianyang, and also responsible for interviewing some parties when necessary."

"Lord Hou, what do you mean by interview?" a Confucian scholar asked.

"Interview means observation, investigation, interview, and record. Where is your office?" Xiao Hong pointed to a room.

"You need to summarize the collected information every day, and then hand it over to the editor. You all go to get your work permits"

Xiao Hong suddenly thought of the position of reporter last night, so he asked the servants to make more than a dozen crude work cards overnight, and stamped them with Nanyang Hou's private seal.

The three of you are now the three editors of the newspaper.

"Chen Ping is the chief editor, and Gu Hongyun and Wu Lang are the deputy editors. But three editors are definitely not enough, and you each recommend someone to come to me."

Xiao Hong paused and said.

"Remember, the three of you must be cautious when reviewing the content of the newspaper. For some articles that you can't decide on your own, just come to me."

"I'll find out"

"Well, you should go and familiarize yourself with the environment of the newspaper first, and I have ordered someone to put it on your desk as well as the editor's responsibilities. You should take a good look at it yourself."

"Here." Chen Ping and the others bowed and left after bowing.

Xiao Hong looked at the paper-making workshop in the newspaper office and thought of something.

"Let's go back to Hou Mansion"

"Driving" Xuanwu Guards to escort Xiao Hong back to the Hou Mansion.

"Wang Chen"

"Hou Ye"

"Huang Shigong and Zhang Liang, how are you doing?"

"Ever since Huang Shigong was defeated by Lord Hou, he hasn't said anything except for a few words of scolding at the beginning, and Zhang Liang is also silent now."

"Well, let them go. By the way, you are going to buy a few houses. Remember that they are not too far away from the newspaper office, and the place must be large."

"Here, this old slave obeys." Wang Chen resigned.

What Xiao Hong likes most is that Wang Chen never asks himself why, as long as Xiao Hong gives orders, he will strictly implement them, this is a qualified dog leg.

Xiao Hong has never used silk or satin since he created white paper.

Xiao Hong writes and draws on paper. First, he separates the paper-making workshop from the newspaper office and establishes a workshop dedicated to paper-making.

As the production of harness weapons continues to increase, the output of coal mines and iron ores can no longer keep up, so Xiao Hong plans to establish the first Daqin Mining Industry in the Qin Dynasty, which will be responsible for developing and selling coal and iron mines across the country. Including the development of other mineral resources in the future will also be included in the income of Daqin Mining.

It took Xiao Hong two hours to sort out all the details and shareholding ratio of Daqin Mining, and went to Qin Shihuang with his handwritten Daqin's first equity signing contract.

"Your Majesty, the national teacher is asking to see you." Qin Shihuang, who was reviewing the memorial, stopped writing and said, "Please"

"Your Majesty, Master Xuan Guo enters the palace"

"I refer to Your Majesty" Xiao Hong bowed and saluted.

"National teacher, please rise"

"Your Majesty, please look"

Xiao Hong handed over the commercial contract in his hand to the attendant, and asked him to pass it on to His Majesty.

"This is?" Qin Shihuang looked at the cover: Daqin Mining Equity Transfer Contract with ten large characters, showing a puzzled expression.

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen will explain to His Majesty"

"Come here, give the national teacher a seat"

"Thank you Your Majesty"

After Xiao Hong sat down, he said: "Your Majesty, with the participation of merchants, the production of harnesses and weapons has come to an end, but now the daily demand for coal and iron ore is huge. The output of the mine can no longer meet the needs of Daqin, so I plan to set up Daqin Mining Group after thinking about it.”

"Daqin Mining Group?" Mining Qin Shihuang understood, but what is a group?
"Your Majesty, the so-called group is a huge industrial complex. I intend to let Daqin Mining set up mines all over the country to meet Daqin's future demand for minerals."

"But" Xiao Hong changed the subject and said: "Once this group is established, its power and assets will be huge. Therefore, I don't feel at ease in whoever owns this group, so I plan to hand over [-]% of the shares to His Majesty. Your Majesty is the sole controller of this group."

"Your Majesty signs this contract. From now on, Daqin Mining will be the property of the imperial court. I estimate that in a few years, Daqin Mining will be able to provide His Majesty with millions of dollars in money every year. With this money, there will be more things Your Majesty can do." A lot, and the money belongs to His Majesty himself.”

"Millions!" Qin Shihuang was stunned, the ability to make money is too scary.

Da Qin's current annual fiscal revenue is tens of millions of dollars, but most of it is in kind such as food. The reason why Qin Shihuang was able to reward officials with hundreds of thousands in gold was because Da Qin unified the six countries and pooled their wealth. Otherwise, with this annual fiscal revenue, it would not be enough for Qin Shihuang to spend so much.

"Of course, this is what I estimate. It may be higher in the future. Moreover, Daqin Mining can also pay a huge amount of taxes to Daqin every year and provide jobs for many people. It can be said that the establishment of Daqin Mining Group will make it a powerful country in a few years." The state of rich people”

"it is good"

"it is good!"

"it is good!!"

Qin Shihuang said three good words in a row, don't look at the Great Qin's unification of the six countries, in fact, the Qin Dynasty was still very poor, why the Great Qin still maintains so many troops now is mainly because of lack of money.

You may be wondering why you have to support so many troops without money.

Since the Great Qin Shangjun reform, the military merit system of the whole people has been implemented. This system is indeed a sharp sword in the seven kingdoms. It can make the soldiers of the Great Qin dare not die, because as long as they kill the enemy, they can get the title.

However, the Great Qin unified the six countries, resulting in more than half of the soldiers making a lot of military exploits, and many of them's military exploits were enough to reach the fifteenth rank.

But now Daqin has neither the money nor the place to honor the military merits of these soldiers, but now he can only maintain a large number of troops. As long as they are still in the army for a day, the military merits do not need to be honored, but this is a solution to the symptoms, not the root cause. Daqin spends a huge amount on these soldiers every year, which can be regarded as wearing down Daqin step by step in disguise.

"National teacher, really worthy of being the pillar of the country." Qin Shihuang signed his name on the contract.

"This is what I should do, but Your Majesty, Daqin Mining Group is still a behemoth even if it is divided into [-]% of the shares, so I plan to recruit a few ministers to join the group to control the group together and prevent it from falling out of Daqin's control. , I wonder if His Majesty will allow it?”

As the first emperor in Chinese history, Qin Shihuang was indeed very generous. He was very kind to these founding heroes, and he was also the only emperor who did not kill heroes or seize power.

"I'm sure." Qin Shihuang waved his hand.

"In that case, I will take my leave first and won't disturb His Majesty in reviewing the memorial."

"National teacher, please wait a moment, I still have something to ask the national teacher"

"Please speak, Your Majesty"

"National teacher, how do you feel about my daughter Ying Shiman?"

"What!" Xiao Hong didn't expect Qin Shihuang to ask this suddenly.

"Your Majesty, minister" Xiao Hong didn't know how to answer.

Ying Shiman is indeed very beautiful, it is not an exaggeration to be surprised, and she has a gentle personality, which is Xiao Hong's favorite type, but she is the daughter of the big boss after all, so Xiao Hong and Ying Shiman are very friendly when they get along. Grasp the measure.
