Iron Dynasty

Princess House.

When she heard the news of Xiao Yi's entry into the East Palace, she let out a heavy sigh of relief, and the Xiao family was equally relieved.

These years, the emperor has never established a prince. This palace has always been worried that the emperor intends to learn from the Western countries. Now that Yi'er is in the East Palace, it is finally a relief.

Holding the teacup and blowing lightly, Princess Pingyang showed a smile.

Sitting opposite Princess Pingyang are King Yong, Duke of Song, Duke of Tang and other royal family members and nobles.

Hearing this, King Yong said: Pingyang has been thinking too much. No matter how stupid the emperor is, he will never give up his country to others. During this time, I have often had contact with Westerners in business. Inferior, in the final analysis, it is just that the nobles are dissatisfied with the authority of the emperor and rebelled to restrict the emperor's rights so that they can formulate national policies. As for the so-called popular election, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can have as many votes as you want.

As soon as his voice fell, everyone burst into laughter.

Tang Guogong said: No, if this is the case, those wealthy businessmen will really become phoenixes. They have money, and then they can be elected as lieutenants by spending a little money in any village. If they spend a little more money, they will become county magistrates. Wouldn't it be possible to be a prefect for being rich?

Yes, it's absurd. We can't let the emperor make such mistakes. Tang Guogong said: This world belongs to our Xiao family. If others want to interfere, we will not agree.

Everyone nodded when they heard the words.

Princess Pingyang's eyes wandered, and now the battle between Pang Yukun and Fiji in the courtroom is lively, and the power of private capital is growing, but everyone seems to have ignored the firm royalist power of the Xiao family.

For them, nothing is more important than protecting the Xiao family.

After drinking a sip of tea, Princess Pingyang said: Anyway, whatever the emperor does, we will support whatever, whoever makes us a family, and the emperor treats us well, although the royal family no longer lives on monthly money, but the emperor provides Convenience makes us all richer and richer, and some clansmen are also famous in the army, which is also bright for our royal family.

Song Guogong couldn't help but nodded. He was quite critical when the royal family was deducted from the monthly payment and sent to the factory to work, but now that he has made a fortune through the trade of the chamber of commerce, his life is more nourishing than before, and his dissatisfaction with Xiao Ming is natural. It's gone.

Tang Guogong said with emotion: Not only that, the emperor seems to be paying more and more attention to our royal family now. The dog Xiao Yue was just dispatched by the cabinet to the Electric Power Division yesterday, and he is going to Jinling City to supervise the construction of the thermal power plant. Hehehe...

Others showed a hint of envy. Even a fool could see the prospect of the electric power company. The railway operator is so profitable, not to mention the electricity that the country will need in the future.

My son is the head of the army in the army.

What's so great about this, my son is in the Chamber of Commerce, there's a lot of oil and water.

...

Tang Guogong's words seemed to make everyone open the chatterbox, and one by one began to compare their own children.

The smile on Princess Pingyang's face is getting thicker and thicker. Today, because of the prince's affairs, everyone gathers here. It can be seen that the royal family is the firm royal power.

It is estimated that it is precisely because of this that Xiao Ming will appropriately increase the influence of the royal family.

While the royal family was celebrating, the matter of the crown prince was also announced to the world through newspapers. For a time, in the streets and alleys, after dinner, the topic of the prince of the East Palace was all over.

However, just three days later, the popularity of the prince was replaced by another heavy news-Commander Lei Ming of the Southeast Military Region was ordered to attack the British Army in Nanyang, and the first battle plan was to capture Australia.

Below this news is a brief introduction to Australia, as well as Australia's mineral resources and natural advantages.

For a time, all the attention of the people was focused on this area known as the Mines Upper Continent.

Qian's Mining, a building located in the center of the Qingzhou business district, became lively after the news of Australia was published in the newspaper.

In Qingzhou, big and small, big and small, head and face mine shopkeepers came one after another.

Treasurer Qian, what is the anthracite and bauxite mentioned in the newspaper?

In the innermost room of Qian's Mining, the businessmen asked with flattering smiles, this Qian's Mining is private and has only been established for five years.

But within five years, Qian's Mining has become the top five mining companies in Qingzhou, and the first four mining companies have royal backgrounds.

Because of this, the growth of Qian's Mining attracted the attention of other businessmen. After some exploration, they realized that the treasurer of Qian's Mining was a distant relative of Qian Dafu.

And who is Qian Dafu? That was a celebrity in front of the emperor, and the reputation of Qian's Mining immediately spread like wildfire, and then facts quickly proved that Qian's Mining was well informed.

Qian's Mining always has first-hand information about what kind of mines are there, and whether the mines are of good quality or not.

So every time there is major news, many people will come to find out.

This anthracite is a hard, dense and high-gloss coal mine variety. Among all coal varieties, anthracite has a lower calorific value, but has the highest carbon content and the least impurity content. It is mainly used in nitrogen fertilizer production, forging, and smokeless. Pulverized coal is mainly used for smelting in the metallurgical industry, which can improve the quality of steel, and anthracite can also be used in the treatment of tap water.”

Qian Liang had no reservations about the merchant's inquiries. Just as the merchants had guessed, this Qian's mining industry was indeed related to Qian Dafu, but this matter was agreed by the emperor as a little bonus to Qian Dafu.

However, although Qian's Mining is not an official company, at the request of Qian Dafu, Qian's Mining basically fulfills the same obligations as the official company. It is precisely because of this willingness that Qian's Mining can grow so rapidly.

With so many functions, it seems to be of high value. A businessman said in surprise.

Another businessman asked: What is bauxite?

Qian Liang replied again: This thing is amazing. It is said that the College of Chemistry has mastered the technology of electrolytic aluminum. This thing is used to refine aluminum. It is said that aluminum is very important to the industry and can also replace copper in wires. It greatly reduces the cost of laying wires, and if these bauxite mines are transported back, they will not be sold.”

The eyes of the merchants were immediately straightened. Due to the limitations of transportation conditions and mining efficiency, the government-run mines could not meet the needs of the imperial ore, so privately-run mines appeared to make up for the requirements for machinery through manpower.

If the Southeast Military Region can successfully occupy Australia, it can be said that the mining of the mines here is inevitable, and this is the reason why the businessmen are excited.
