Chapter 1508 Northwest Industrial Region Support
On October 13, the 15th year of Tianxuan, Qu Maocai completed all the ironclad shipyards and steel chariot production bases planned by Xuande in the entire Eastern Continent, which were completed, are under construction, or will be constructed in the future.
After inspecting around, Qu Mao also arrived at the sea surface in the northwest region of the Eastern Continent, which is the territory of Emperor Yi in the vicinity of Jingang, an independent territory in the northwest region of the Eastern Continent. The vicinity of Jingang is the last ironclad shipyard planned by Xuande, but there is no one yet. Construction.
The so-called Golden Port refers to the ports of the three aboriginal kingdoms that surrendered to Yidi's territory because they could not bear Pengda's continuous attack before the territory of Emperor Yi started an all-out war with the Principality of Pengda. Of course, after the territory of Emperor Yi was taken down , carried out a large number of expansion.
As the initial port of Emperor Yi's territory to attack the Principality of Pengda, after several expansions, this port is now considered to be the most prosperous port in the surrounding area, not one of them.
Because a large number of metal mines have been discovered in the more northwestern region. Although the Yidi territory has not been developed because the metal mines are too remote, the holy land of the Yidi territory and the aboriginal mines in the independent territories of the Eastern Continent are moving. Owners and entrepreneurs, voluntary application policy came here to engage in development.
Over time, this area has developed very well. Qu Mao and Su Yan came here a few years ago and found that there are more than five large industrial town clusters.
Now, apart from Shacheng, the province of Gillette in the Tassel Empire of the Eastern Continent, this area is also a model area for the industrialization of Yidi's territory. In addition to those who need to come here for business, there are also a large number of entrepreneurs and town managers who come here to visit. .
However, no matter how this area develops, Qu Mao and Su Yan have never decided to invest or develop it in the name of Emperor Yi's territory. They just give enough policies to attract and encourage mine owners and entrepreneurs to develop this area by themselves.
Emperor Yi's Territory Holy Land did not make any attempts or efforts other than dispatching garrison heroes and administrators to this area.
When he came here to inspect the ironclad shipyard, Qu Mao suddenly had the idea of visiting this area.
The attractiveness of this area to mine owners and entrepreneurs is also due to the fact that the official management of Yidi Territory is relatively small, but Qu Mao thinks that some additional investment should not be a big problem, and it will only make this area more attractive to enterprises. The family flocked to it.
Christine Silian, who had been riding with Qu Mao for a long time, was very dissatisfied. Riding on the back of the war horse, Christine Silian felt uncomfortable everywhere, so he complained to Qu Mao: "My lord , what are we doing here? Haven't you inspected all the ironclad shipyards?
You have even looked at the production base of steel chariots, and it doesn’t make much sense to come here again, right?
It takes 14 hours to ride a horse to Golden Harbor. Do you still want to build an armor factory here? The subordinates know that there are many metal mines here, and there are many metal raw materials, but the distance is too far, right?
If an armor factory is built here, the armor will be transported to the nearest ironclad shipyard in the future. This section of the road must be taken.
We need to walk for more than 14 hours on horses with light clothes. If we drag heavy armor, we may not be able to reach Golden Port in three days and three nights. "
The last ironclad shipyard selected by Xuande is near Golden Port, but this one is the farthest from the parts factory. "
Christine Silian's eyes lit up suddenly. At this stage, any news related to the ironclad ship would cheer up Christine Silian.
Arriving at the nearest town group to Golden Port, Qu Mao didn't bother to continue running, and asked the Imperial Guard soldiers who escorted him to call a meeting of all the garrison heroes and core management personnel sent by the Administration Department to this area.
On October 15th, the fifteenth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao met many garrison heroes and core management personnel in the Northwest Industrial Area of the Eastern Continent in a large conference room. There were as many as 13 people gathered together.
At the meeting, Qu Mao straight to the point told the participants that the Holy Land of Yidi Territory was going to invest in this area.
A garrison hero asked: "My lord, this region applied for investment in the Holy Land during the critical period of development, but there was no investment in the Holy Land at that time. Why do you want to invest now?"
Another garrison hero said: "Sir, no matter what, investing here is good for this place. How much are you planning to invest?"
Qu Mao thought for a while and said: "Holy Land mainly invests in technology, equipment and resources. At least 10 armor factories, 10 cannon factories, and 10 gun barrel factories should be invested in the construction of at least 10 armor factories, 10 cannon factories, and 10 gun barrel factories. , Cannonball factory, I estimate that in the next year, Holy Land will build no less than 50 factories with metal as the main raw material in this large area."
Hearing what Qu Mao said, some of the participants were excited, while others were worried.
One person said: "My lord, this area has always been decided by the mine owners and entrepreneurs who have suffered so much in the early days. If we rashly come here to build 50 factories, will it..."
Qu Mao interrupted this man with a wave of his hand, and said: "The entrepreneurs and mine owners here are also the entrepreneurs and mine owners of our Yidi territory. Investing in the construction of more than 50 factories is the unified deployment of the Holy Land. There is no reason for them to come. Agree or not.
The factories we build here use their products as raw materials, which can save them a lot of transportation costs. Why don't they like it?
Of course, out of respect for them, we also allow the original mine owners and entrepreneurs to expand their business upstream or downstream, and allow them to build factories of the same nature as ours, as long as they can solve the problems of technology and equipment themselves. "
Christine Sirian said: "You don't have to worry too much. Once the Holy Land comes to build 50 factories, our navy will send 10,000 marines and two naval heroes to station in this area for a long time. to maintain the safety of the area.
Of course, the adults said that they are allowed to build the same factory. As long as the product quality passes the standard, the Navy will definitely treat them equally when purchasing, provided that the product meets the needs of ironclad ship assembly.
You all follow the adults’ instructions and arrange them one by one. "
Only then did the participants nod in unison and said yes, Yidi Territory used to be indifferent to this area, but now it suddenly invests in more than 50 factories. Even if a factory has only 1,000 people, it is an increase of 50,000 people. Of course I'm happy.
