Chapter 84 Start the era of big industry with your own hands! [Please order]

Fifty thousand new troops would cost so much money.

All the important Manchu and Han ministers present were silent.

Now the Qing Dynasty has lost its money bag of Guangdong.

Financial revenue suddenly dropped.

Now we have to invest money to build a new army.

How will this money come from?

Emperor Qianlong looked at Dong Gao, the Minister of Household Affairs, with a headache.

"Dong Gao, tell me how to get this money?"

Four million taels of silver.

It's not a small amount of money.

And develop Manchuria.

That is absolutely not possible.

"Hailancha, tell me."

Zhu Daohua waved his hand and took three steps at a time to arrive in front of the running machine.

The route from the mouth of the Red River to the mouth of the Pearl River will become a major transportation channel for transporting Annan's coal, iron, and rice resources.

"Is it feasible to launch a levy and expropriation campaign?"

When Qianlong heard this, he was already making plans in his mind.

Only then will the next epoch-making inventions such as armored battleships and railways be meaningful.

Where is Manchuria?

This is the Eight Banners' retreat.

In terms of raw materials.

Molten steel can already be seen at the outlet of the molten pool at the bottom of the open-hearth furnace.

Guangdong under his own rule.

"Martin, you are now a member of history."

Now we need to send more donations.

"Your Majesty, we need to make up for the holes in Guangdong, plus the cost of training and training the new army. To create a surplus, we can send an additional ten million every year. If we want to build a new army, I think we can only abolish it.

Part of the green camp.”

Just at this steel plant on Lantau Island, it is easy to reach an annual production capacity of one million tons of steel.

The first steel-making furnace on Lantau Island has been built.

With the shouts of the workers.

Dong Gao was the Minister of the Han Dynasty of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

And the output is huge.

You can also leave customs with your belongings.

This kind of stove is the so-called open hearth.

Emperor Qianlong nodded.

Hailancha was a powerful general in the Qianlong Dynasty.

Each furnace can produce hundreds of tons of steel.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty's previously balanced finances suddenly had a big hole.

Manchuria was developed.

Martin's heart was on fire.

Zhu Daohua watched after No. 1 open-hearth furnace successfully tapped steel.

It will subvert the entire steel industry.

It's just a showdown plus a donation.

Ming Dynasty is not idle either, and is also accumulating strength.

"Dong Gao, how much tribute should be collected?" Qianlong asked again.

train.

Ordinary farmers have long been out of food.

"However, mining is feasible, but private mining cannot be allowed!"

"Your Majesty, according to the information you provided, we conducted hundreds of experiments when we were in Batam. This furnace is extremely efficient in producing steel, and because it uses water gas, it produces very little waste residue, ensuring that the steel

Stability of quality.”

The height of this furnace is not high and the shape is low and flat, but the molten pool is quite large.

Annual output of 10,000 tons.

So Dong Gao is now the de facto Finance Minister of the Qing Dynasty.

The big merchants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were generally the merchants from Guangdong, the salt merchants from Yangzhou, the Hui merchants from southern Anhui, and the Hu merchants from Jiangnan.

Now the baby cow is gone and cannot produce milk.

Dong Gao can't come up with any good ideas right now.

Mining is a bad job.

They were now staring at the rumbling machines, marveling at them.

In fact, there are no new tricks.

If Nanyang Iron and Steel Corporation invested by Zhu Daohua could develop the open-hearth steelmaking method a hundred years ahead of schedule.

Zhu Daohua certainly understands the significance of steel to industry.

When Zhu Daohua arrived at Watt Machinery Factory with his entourage.

The Qing Dynasty wanted to recruit troops and expand its army to prepare for war.

Just in case things get to the point of no return.

By 1850, Britain's steel output was on the order of hundreds of thousands of tons.

Mining can make money.

Two million pounds of steel.

Martin breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Daohua smiled.

So after the emergence of the open-hearth steelmaking method.

Steel production is the most important indicator of a country's industrial capacity.

Noble!

I am a French civilian.

Combined with steam engine.

Zhu Daohua pointed at the steam engine and laughed.

What about becoming a Chinese noble?

"Let's go and see Watt."

Increase donations, abolish the Green Camp, expand the Eight Banners and train new troops.

If the Thirteen Lines were not treasonous, they could be assigned to them.

But now he is being watched by the emperor.

Zhu Daohua still has some abilities in medicine.

This burden of eight million will have to be transferred to other provinces.

Now that Manchuria is being developed, the Han people must be allowed to leave the country.

The annual steel production is 100,000 tons.

And if I remember correctly.

But now that I am older, I am not suitable to be sent out to lead troops in combat.

How much room is left?

He Shen on the side lit up when he heard this: "Yes, yes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can set up a mining yamen to supervise."

There are specialties in the art industry.

When the time comes for civil unrest, rebellion will come together.

Each of these has its own hidden dangers.

By then, Manchuria would be full of Han people.

This method does not require building a blast furnace that is too high, and is relatively safe and simple in engineering.

The raw materials used can be either pig iron, molten iron, scrap steel, iron filings, wrought iron and ore, which facilitates the recycling of scrap steel. In addition, the steel produced is uniform and of stable quality, and can produce high-quality steel.

The former puts the burden on the common people.

Also coming with Zhu Daohua were Wu Dunyuan, Lu Jiguang and several other merchants from the Thirteenth Industry.

The richest company is Guangdong No. 13 Bank, which is engaged in import and export trade.

I went to another important factory also located on Lantau Island.

Small dairy cows are from Guangdong and Guangxi - mainly Guangdong.

"Mining ban? Manchuria?"

So this burden.

I came to see Zhu Daohua.

Qianlong's eyes turned to a Manchu veteran.

It is hard to say whether the Qing Dynasty can withstand this.

It is different from ordinary blast furnaces.

Martin, the chief engineer of Nanyang Iron and Steel Corporation, is orderly directing the workers to work.

"Well, I'll leave it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs at this time."

The output of Nanyang Iron and Steel Corporation will crush all European countries and become the world's number one, leaving the second place far behind.

But now the Thirteen Elements have collectively turned against them, and they have swallowed up all those who were daring enough to steal the Eight Banners' relatives.

There were originally two cows in the Qing Dynasty.

It's basically the same as drinking poison to quench thirst.

I had already seen a steam engine rumbling in action.

One furnace produces one thousand tons of steel a month.

There are also machine tools powered by steam engines, etc.

This big hole has not been filled yet.

That's almost a thousand tons.

Watt hurriedly came forward.

Isn’t the escape route for the Eight Banners disciples gone?

Now I have to spend money to train new soldiers.

Hailancha, whose hometown is in Manchuria, said without thinking.

ship.

Relying on the abundant coal and iron resources in the Annan Red River Delta.

It quickly developed in various places.

"Steam engine, steam engine, is it powered by steam?"

If this vast wasteland in Manchuria is developed, it can also make up for a lot of national use.

The big cow is Jiangnan.

However, opening a mine will gather miners, which can easily lead to trouble.

Thirteen banks can still get millions of silver.

Watt Machinery Works.

This steam engine is close to the competitive locomotive in his image.

The shipping company invested by several merchants from the Thirteenth Bank successfully transported Annan's coal mines and iron ore to Lantau Island.

So is Manchuria the territory of the Han people or the Manchus?

also.

Qianlong felt even more headache after hearing this.

title.

"Success!"

Nanyang Steel Corporation, which moved to Lantau Island, no longer has any restrictions.

"This machine has no human power, so how come it turns on its own?"

If this steelmaking method is successful in mass production.

Martin hurriedly bowed and saluted: "This is all the inspiration provided by His Majesty, you are the real genius."

Starting from the vest of Sauron's cavalry, he has been promoted to the current first-class super brave man by virtue of his military merit.

This time he was going to train new soldiers, so Qianlong simply called this first-class super brave man to discuss the matter.

Of course he knows.

The six ministerial books of the Qing Dynasty were all divided into Manchu and Han Dynasties.

Lost in Guangdong.

There is an abundance of cheap steel.

He had heard of the open-hearth steelmaking method.

"The molten steel is out!"

Dong Gao, who was kneeling on the ground, sighed in his heart.

The latter is to force businessmen to bleed.

Zhu Daohua patted Martin on the shoulder.

"Boy, do you still think it's unrealistic to have a steam engine-powered iron vehicle?"

They can only put pressure on the gentry of Jiangnan - Jiangnan is rich and if more conquests are made, it will not cause too much turmoil.

By using water gas instead of coke as fuel, pig iron and iron ore can be smelted into high-quality steel.

What if you really can't survive in the customs?

It will become the steel center of the world!

"But before this, they were all small furnaces for experiments. This is the first time to build a large furnace for mass production. If the data is correct, such a furnace can produce 200,000 kilograms of steel at a time, with a monthly steel production

At least two million catties."

"Thank you for your hard work. Just with this merit, you will be able to get a title of sufficient weight."

If the open-hearth steelmaking method is successfully put into mass production,

Continue to expand production.

All I can do is pick up the big cow again.

"It is absolutely impossible to develop Manchuria."

Martin, an iron smelting engineer from France, had sunken eye sockets and red eyes, but there was a bit of excitement on his face.

How did you end up in China?

Dong Gao had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, once Guangdong is lost, the annual customs tax, land tax, and commercial tax will be reduced by almost 4 million. Add in the annual donation of 4 million from the Thirteenth Bank.

The annual tax revenue will be reduced by 8 million. The southern provinces bordering Guangdong may also have some wars this year. If there is chaos in the local area, I am afraid it will be much less. It would be good to have a total income of 30 million next year.

, this 30 million income may not be enough to cover next year's expenses. If you want to train new soldiers, you can only increase land tax, collect illegal donations across the country, and also develop mining bans in various places. If there is no other way, maybe develop Manchuria.

OK."

But I don’t have much knowledge about steelmaking.

The Manchu minister of the Ministry of Revenue was Fu Kangan's younger brother, Fu Changan. Although the Manchu minister had a higher status than the Han minister, Fu Changan only had a title and basically didn't do much.

During this period, in order to raise military expenses for Agui to go south to establish the Ganzhou camp and to reorganize the southern green camp, he was already struggling.

If we continue to squeeze them, we might provoke a popular uprising.

There are ten such stoves.

"It's feasible." He Shen thought for a while and said.

Have a stable source of power.

And cheap steel.

The era of big industry.

has been turned on.
