- The ups and downs of the cabinet have not left the Forbidden City yet, and naturally they cannot affect Zhao Hao.
At this time, he was not even in the capital, but was leading a huge sightseeing group on a one-day trip to the Western Mountains.
This is something we agreed on last month.
At that time, Zhao Hao asked the eldest princess for help and planned to hold the first shareholders meeting of Xishan Coal Industry on the eighth day of this month.
In order to ensure that a lot of leeks are harvestedoh no, to ensure that the meeting is held smoothly, he specially invited each shareholder to send a steward to go with him to the Xishan Mining Area for an on-site visit.
There are currently twenty-two shareholders of Xishan Coal. But not counting Zhao Hao and his wife, there are also people acting in concert such as Ji Sizheng and Fatty Sun. There are only thirteen serious foreign shareholders.
But there were more than thirteen carriages following Zhao Hao to Xishan.
There were more than a hundred people including stewards, businessmen, and eunuchs who got off the car.
This is after Fatty Sun has screened through layers of screening to select potential candidates who have financial resources, energy, and connections. If all comers are welcome, the number of people will probably quadruple.
Who doesn¡¯t want to see with his own eyes the leader of the scientific sect who has five Jinshi under his sect, the inventor of coal lotus root technology, the first person to fly in the Ming Dynasty, and Mr. Zhao who just gave a lecture to the emperor¡¯s ministers yesterday?
What¡¯s more, Xishan Coal Industry itself is already very topical.
In the past two months, there have been rumors in the streets and alleys of the capital that a company in the Xishan Coal Industry, which has gone crazy, is buying up abandoned coal mines in the Hunhe, Dayu, Mentougou and Juyongguan areas, and is not accepting the ones that are not used.
Common people say that the money from Xishan Coal Industry was blown by strong winds, and the nobles are squandering it for fun.
But no matter how rich a nobleman is, he can't spend more than ten or two hundred thousand taels of silver just to play with it, right?
Therefore, the businessmen with a little bit of brains, as well as the shopkeepers who run the business for the noble family, have thought about it early in the morning.
??What kind of medicine is sold in Xishan Coal Industry Gourd?
After a little investigation, they discovered that Xishan Coal Industry had a huge background. It is a business partnership between the eldest princess and the scientific Mr. Zhao.
Now no one dares to underestimate him.
¡° Just an eldest princess who has been in charge of the royal estate for nearly ten years is enough for them to pay attention to Xishan Coal Industry. What's more, the previous cooperation between these two people has achieved great success!
Everyone knows how much coal lotus root the Lugouqiao coal yard can sell every day.
A few months ago, who would have imagined that a small, gray lotus root could actually bring tens of thousands of taels of net profit per month?
Who in Beijing is not jealous? Who doesn¡¯t want a piece of the pie if they have a little bit of strength?
¡°That is to say, the eldest princess is keeping things in check, so no one dares to reach inside
Now it is discovered that the two gods of wealth actually established the Xishan Coal Industry, and poured all the money earned from the coal roots into Xishan. Moreover, outsiders are allowed to participate in the shares. Now who is rich and powerful in the capital?
Don¡¯t you all have to come along and watch the fun? If someone really has a way to make money, they can join in the fun.
??~~
The motorcade stopped at three stores at the starting point of Xishan Road.
Fatty Sun and Fatty Tang led the way, and everyone gathered around Young Master Zhao to cross the big stone bridge together.
Because the Inner Court Liuli Bureau is located in the west of Qiao, the road we walked before was in good condition.
But further ahead, the stone-paved mountain road has been severely worn and uneven due to the passage of time and the trampling of livestock hooves all day long. There are potholes everywhere and it is not accessible to traffic at all.
In addition, it had just rained, and the road was heavily waterlogged and muddy. It was very difficult for everyone to walk with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"It's really unlucky. It hasn't rained for a month, and it happens when I go out." The shopkeepers couldn't help complaining: "But the road in Xishan is too bad, isn't it? We have just entered the mountain, and it will definitely be worse further in"
"That's why we need to build roads!" Fatty Sun announced loudly to everyone: "Young Master has long had the foresight and has already recruited 20,000 people to start rebuilding all the mountain roads in Mentougou!"
As if to confirm his words, everyone heard the sound of jingling stones.
After they turned around a hill, they saw thousands of people digging out the road with chisels and sledgehammers, forcibly expanding the mountain road that was originally less than one foot wide to two feet wide.
"The first phase of the 'Jingxi Mountain Road' project is to rebuild the Xishan Ancient Road. After completion, the Yuhe Ancient Road and Pangtan Ancient Road will be rebuilt in sequence. These three trunk roads are all two feet wide and can accommodate four iron tile carts running parallel to each other. Build.¡±
"Wow, this is a big deal!" the shopkeepers secretly saidAfter some calculation, just repairing these three main roads would cost me even five to sixty thousand taels of silver.
"Once it is completed, the effect will be immediate." There are also many people who are secretly looking forward to it. The entire main road to the west of Beijing is blocked by these bad roads. Once it is completed, the cost of transporting coal will be reduced by half. And the transportation capacity will be greatly improved.
"My master is building this road not just to transport coal." At this time, Mr. Zhao finally said: "After this road is completed, business travelers from Zhangjiakou to and from the capital will also benefit greatly."
"Young Master is so righteous" The shopkeepers flattered him with their mouths and scolded him as a prodigal in their hearts. Is that something you should worry about?
While talking, everyone walked to the position two miles away from Liuli Bureau and saw a circle of reed sheds surrounding the hillside beside the road.
"We are here." How could Fatty Tang let Fatty Sun be the only one beautiful? He rushed to flatter Zhao Hao: "Sir, this is the No. 1 kiln where our Xishan Coal Industry is trial mining."
"So close?" The shopkeepers couldn't help but be surprised, and then they laughed dumbly and said: "That's right, it makes sense."
Since the beginning of coal mining in Xishan, we must start from the nearest and best place to dig.
After the best locations have been dug, the coal mine owners will continue to dig deeper into the mountains. Over generations and hundreds of years, the coal mines have reached Miaofeng Mountain.
If you mine coal here, you can save a lot on freight costs alone.
Therefore, these coal mines must be abandoned after they have been mined and can no longer be mined, and they have been abandoned until they can no longer be abandoned.
Look at the use of this thing. Are you nostalgic?
Everyone secretly slandered, it was just because of Mr. Zhao's reputation that no one dared to say weird things.
Zhao Hao did not explain, and greeted everyone enthusiastically: "You are all here, let's go and have a look."
Wu Yu, who was guarding the coal kiln, saw the young master arriving. He quickly stood at attention, saluted, and then opened the gate.
¡°It¡¯s also very mysterious¡± The shopkeepers were aroused with the slightest curiosity.
When they followed Zhao Hao into the reed shed, they saw a huge coal well under the shed. Next to the well was a windlass for lifting coal, and four strange-looking instruments.
They have cast-iron faucets with long bamboo tubes attached to them, which go deep into the mine.
"This No. 1 well was mined more than four hundred years ago. The location is good, but due to serious water seepage, it was abandoned within a few years of mining." Zhao Hao stood by the well and introduced to everyone with a smile: "But after scientific treatment, it turned waste into treasure and can be mined again."
"Really?" The shopkeepers were immediately intrigued. What would it mean if the abandoned coal kiln could be mined again? I wouldn't even dare to dream
"If you can really turn waste into treasure, I'm afraid the young master will become the richest man in the capital!"
"It's just, how is this possible?" Even if Zhao Hao can really go to heaven, everyone can't believe it.
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing." Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said, "Just follow me down and have a look."
