Liu Mingqi did not get the desired effect from his conversation with Ge Songdao about territorial expansion.
But he was not discouraged either.
It would be strange if Ge Songdao was full of interest from the beginning and wanted to do something big.
After all, in the eyes of people today, Nanzhao, including Nanzhao, is not a good place, let alone other more remote countries.
This also requires Liu Mingqi to constantly tell them through facts the importance of these places.
Once the court bosses know the true importance of these places, the saying "since ancient times" will appear.
Not urgent.
Liu Mingqi is only seventeen years old and has at least fifty years to advance this.
But Ge Songdao talked about another thing.
"Your Highness, I really like the briquettes you made. It's cheap and easy to use. It's most suitable for the people in Xikang." Ge Songdao said, "But there is one disadvantage, its shipping cost is too expensive! This makes our usage costs very expensive.¡±
The young man nodded.
Sichuan is surrounded by mountains on all sides, making it a naturally easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place.
But this also made it difficult for Sichuan to communicate with the outside world, otherwise Shixian would not have lamented that "the road to Shu is difficult".
Dakang is very attentive to the construction of domestic waterways.
In addition to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Yellow River waterway, and the Yangtze River waterway, there are also many other tributary waterways.
For example, from Imperial Capital to Chengdu, you take the Han River Waterway.
From the Danjiangkou waters west of Xinye, take a boat down the Han River to Wuhan, the thoroughfare of nine provinces, then transfer from Wuhan to the Yangtze River Waterway, all the way up to Yibin, and then from the Minjiang Waterway in Yibin all the way to Chengdu.
It seems like it will take several transfers, but this is much more convenient than simply transporting it by horse-drawn carriage.
A ship can carry hundreds of thousands of kilograms or more of supplies. How much can a carriage carry?
How much is the consumption of shipping, and how much is the consumption of horse-drawn carriages?
??If you do the math carefully, you will know why the Song Dynasty was so rich.
Shipping accounts for more than half of all transportation!
And the Song Dynasty had sea transportation, and at the same time, the sea transportation would never be like our Ming Dynasty, where even the ship could sink at any time.
But, as Ge Songdao said, this journey is still too long.
If it is a small item with high added value, such as floral essential oils shipped to Chengdu, the freight is equivalent to its selling price, which is almost negligible - you can carry a hundred bottles with you without any effort.
But it happened that briquettes were so cheap that they only cost two cents. After being transported by sea and land all the way, the price almost doubled when they arrived in Chengdu.
Not to mention transporting it to Xikang, it takes even more effort.
If it weren¡¯t for the cost of transporting border army supplies, I would probably get five or six cents per dollar.
This price is certainly not very expensive compared to wood and coal. After all, they also need to be transported or cut down with great effort.
And the convenience of using briquettes under extreme conditions, as well as the sense of security and comfort that people feel, are far beyond what coal and wood can match.
But wouldn¡¯t it be nice if it could be cheaper and save more money for other things?
It must be good!
But now there is still a problem that needs to be solved.
Liu Mingqi said it directly: "Does the Governor want our Prince Yu's Mansion to open a briquette workshop here in Chengdu?"
"right!"
Ge Songdao said unabashedly, "If that's the case, it's really a good thing."
Except for Sichuan, which is relatively wealthy, the other two provinces in southwest China are very poor.
People¡¯s demand for cheap, durable and convenient fuel is endless.
Why did Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan not cause large-scale damage to the natural environment in history?
It¡¯s very simple.
Because these places are very poor and sparsely populated.
The population is small, no matter how much we cut down, how much can be used?
In addition, these three provinces have more mountains and vegetation, far exceeding the plain provinces in the east and northwest, so the speed of using wood can be equal to the speed of wood growth.
In Liu Mingqi¡¯s mind, in fact, the increase in population in these provinces is in the best interest of Dakang.
After all, if you want to control the entire Indo-China Peninsula, you don¡¯t have tens of millions of immigrants filling that land and cultivating it carefully.?A better life.
In addition, you don¡¯t need to talk about the role of briquettes in the daily lives of Sichuan people. They can also use briquettes that cost two cents a piece to boil water for cooking. Isn¡¯t this much cheaper than coal and wood? Too convenient?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
So people just talk nonsense without opening their mouths, and they come to make things difficult for others.
Liu Mingqi took the note and looked at it. It didn't say "Weiyuan Coal Mine's annual output of xx kilograms." Instead, it wrote down the output in January of this year, the output in February and the previous output in May.
It can be seen that the person who wrote the data is very cautious and serious, and is not generalized.
This data is accurate.
??And also written below is how much additional labor is expected to be needed if production capacity is expanded, and how much money needs to be allocated.
It is divided into categories, making it clear and clear.
"That's why Ge Songdao was so sure at once.
¡°In that case, let¡¯s do it!¡±
Liu Mingqi also had a plan in mind, "The briquette workshop does not need to be in Chengdu, but in Weiyuan! This way it will be more convenient to transport, and there will be no need to delay production."
"good!"
Ge Songdao let out a long breath, cupped his hands to Liu Mingqi and said, "I would like to thank His Highness for your kindness on behalf of the people of the three provinces!"
"They are the people under your rule, but they are also the subjects of my Dakang royal family!" Liu Mingqi said with a smile, "Actually, I have been considering this idea of ??yours, but because there are too many concerns, I have not implemented it for the time being. Otherwise. If so, there is a great need to build briquette workshops in the three cold northeastern provinces."
Ge Songdao thought for a while, "The reason why His Highness agreed is because I am decisive in killing and everyone is afraid of me?"
The young man smiled and said nothing,
Ge Songdao is naturally right.
Why did Liu Mingqi dare to put the first briquette workshop outside the capital in Sichuan? Isn't it because Ge Songdao can handle any accident?
Ge Songdao is a god of death in the three southwestern provinces.
No one who does evil is not afraid of him.
After knowing that he introduced the briquette workshop, no one was so ambitious and dared to take advantage of it.
You said coal is not as important as modern times, but in fact it can still feed a lot of people.
There are many people in this business chain, and all the coal is used to make briquettes, and their financial path is cut off.
So what if it¡¯s the clan¡¯s property?
They are originally local snakes in Sichuan, and it is too easy to deal with an outsider.
Only when Ge Songdao makes the decision here can they make them consider their own lives and give up their struggle. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
