Why can't you get in?

Nanfeng has explained it very clearly - no one can mine underground minerals without a royal license.

It's really...

Zhu Mingzhong, who was a little depressed in his heart, stood up, staring at the view outside the window with his expression. He never thought that one day the empire he created would develop in this direction, with the royal family and ministers as the sovereignty and the capital to control this huge empire and control all aspects of the country.

Looking into the distance, there are so many brokers and businessmen, employees and merchants, bankers and tax assessors, contractors and stockbrokers, customers and shopkeepers, lawyers, all of whom are busy waiting for the pleasant 5:30 to arrive. Then they will enjoy the fun of life. Most of these people serve the royal family and the ministers directly or indirectly.

For more than a hundred years, relying on political privileges and economic advantages, they have long mastered most of the resources of this country, and now... they even borrowed systems to exclude dissidents.

This is really... While he was mocking himself, Zhu Mingzhong fell into deep thought. Just as he was thinking, he could only hear Malinde whispering.

"In fact, not all places require royal charters."

"Are you talking about Russia? How could a local aristocratic meeting issue mining rights to outsiders?"

Nanfeng directly broke Marind's fantasy. As part of the empire, Russia, as a whole, was incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, so it implemented a completely different system from the Ming Dynasty. To a certain extent, the current Ming Dynasty can be said to be "one country, multiple systems". Russia is the most obvious example, just as the serfdom is still preserved there.

"No, not Russia."

Malind said, shaking his head.

"I mean Xianbeilia in the north, where it is state-owned land, its mining rights were issued by the government, and the land there did not belong to the royal family. After all, when negotiating with Russia, Fang Wenzheng Gong insisted that local ownership should belong to the country, not the royal family..."

Malinde's reminder made Zhu Mingzhong rush in his mind, thinking of the old story. "Xianbei Liya" is Siberia in another world. During the Ming army's expedition, there were many conflicts with the Russians. After the constant conflict, the two countries finally resolved their ownership at the negotiating table. It was after that, in terms of the nature of the land of "Xianbei Liya", the court realized that the court, who suffered a great loss, fought with reason, and used military expenditures to be spent by the Ministry of Revenue, and the negotiations were presided over by the court, insisted on transferring the land of Xianbei Liya into "state-owned" rather than the usual "imperial ownership". It was also after that that, the traditional view that "is the king's land ruled under the world" was completely changed. And it was also the only land "owned" by the Ming court. It belonged to the state rather than the royal land.

"There are... snowy and snowy places, except for wood, bears, what else?"

Looking at Malinde, Nanfeng said sarcastically.

"Unless there are sporadic immigrants, hunters, and ginseng pickers, there is nothing in the place, there is no railway, and even local wood cannot be transported, let alone other things?"

"What? There is no railway there yet?"

Zhu Mingzhong asked in surprise.

"Who goes to build a railway? I can't see a person for thousands of miles, so there is no need to build a railway."

It seems... there is indeed no need. The reason why the Russians built the Siberian Railway was to connect the local two aspects. However, there was a railway in the heart of the Ming Dynasty that extended to Moscow, so there was naturally no need to build the Siberian Railway.

But, the resources there are very rich!

However... it seems that there is really no need to build a railway. After all, in another world, after the disintegration of the Red Empire, leaving the huge subsidies provided by the country, the mines in Siberia immediately collapsed - the cost of product mining is too high, and it is difficult to maintain profits under market economy conditions. Of course, there are some exceptions.

Thinking of the rich benefits that some of the resources there brought to Russia in another world, Zhu Mingzhong asked immediately.

"If we apply for exploration rights and mining rights from the government, will we be approved?"

"Of course there is no problem. Just check whether the local exploration rights and mining rights are applied for by others, but it doesn't matter if they are applied for by others. If they have not actually mined, the power claims will only be five years. This is to prevent someone from applying at will and prevent others from mining. Applying for exploration rights requires money..."

Perhaps because he was afraid that the boss didn't know why, Marinder explained specifically.

"This is the court's concern that someone would prevent others from entering this industry by applying for exploration rights. This law was specially formulated. Applying for exploration rights is calculated in square miles and requires payment of fees. If you just apply for it without mining, the cost will exceed 100 yuan per square miles within five years, which seems not much. You can apply for exploration area of ​​tens of thousands of square miles. This expense is not willing to bear the expense even Jinshi Mining...

Before Malinde could finish his explanation, Nan Feng, who was born in the royal palace, said directly.

"Actually, they are worried about it. There is not even a railway there. What if minerals are found? Not one or two people have fallen there over the years."

Looking at Malinde, Nan Feng's tone was very direct.

"You are not the first person to think of there, nor will you be the last one, but it is certain that no one can make money from there, transport..."

Turning his gaze to Zhu Mingzhong, Nan Feng shrugged his shoulder helplessly.

"It cannot solve the problem of transportation. Without railways, it is impossible for you to transport the minerals there! In the end, even if you invest millions or even tens of millions, you will be hit there. Otherwise, why do you think that except for a few mines near Lake Baikal, other places are blank? Isn't it because there is no road! Without roads, no mine can be opened!"

Nanfeng's arbitrary transmission reached Zhu Mingzhong's ears, which made him think for a moment, and then said to himself.

"In fact, not all mines require railways."

Siberia has extremely rich mineral resources. In addition to the metal and other mineral resources of railways, there are also mineral resources such as oil and natural gas that require pipeline transportation.

"Tomorrow, I want to prepare a map there..."

After a pause, he looked at Nanfeng, Qian Le, Ma Delin and others, and Zhu Mingzhong said with a smile.

"Maybe, we can try it there."

"Try it? Boss, you don't even have a railway, how do you try it?"

"It doesn't matter,"

Zhu Mingzhong's tone seemed a little stiff.

"If you don't try, how do we know if there are any other possibilities? Okay, go and prepare!"

After the three of them left the office, staring at the distant scenery, Zhu Mingzhong said to himself.

"If oil was found there, I don't know what those guys would react?"

While standing by the window and talking to himself, Zhu Mingzhong's expression seemed extremely solemn. After all, this situation is not his original intention to create all of this. It can even be said that it has seriously deviated from the track he originally set.

"Why did it become like this?"

With his eyebrows frowned, a sad look flashed between Zhu Mingzhong's eyebrows. Originally, he just thought that those capital groups would bring something to the Ming Dynasty, but when he heard that they monopolized the development of the Ming Dynasty's minerals with the help of laws and other forms and monopolized the price of commodities, this was what he had always been most worried about.

"All this happened..."

While talking to himself, Zhu Mingzhong's eyes flashed with angry eyes. He did not expect that the things he created would become a burden to drag the Ming Dynasty.

"They can monopolize these now, so they can monopolize other industries in the future. In the end, all industries in the Ming Dynasty will be monopolized by them..."

Thinking of the more expensive energy prices than other countries and their understanding of the Ming economy over the past period of time, Zhu Mingzhong felt a little heavy.

Royal Capital, the Honorary Capital, has developed into a monster in the past two hundred years, and a monster that only cares about its own interests!

"Watchdog!"

Suddenly, a word appeared in Zhu Mingzhong's mind. This is the impression that Korean politicians left on the world in another time and space. They are just spokespersons and watchdogs of the chaebols. Under such a system, who will eventually suffer?

First of all, the ordinary people, and then naturally the entire country!

"We have to find a way to change all this!"

Once again, Zhu Mingzhong seemed to have found the "small goal" he needed to achieve when he came to this world, that is, to "destroy" everything he created.

"Royal, honorary minister..."

From the day he decided to use his honorary ministers to restrain civil servants, it seemed that the situation in the Ming Dynasty had been maintaining a certain balance as he had expected. However, under this balance, this group expanded in another aspect, just like the series of consequences caused by the expansion of civil servants' power hundreds of years ago. Now, their expansion also puts the Ming Dynasty in an extremely delicate state.

"Watchdog..."

When he was talking about this term again, thinking of the lessons from another world, Zhu Mingzhong naturally thought about the difference between Xunchen Capital Group and Samsung and other chaebols, because here, Xunchen Capital Group not only controls the economy, but also controls the power of the country, directly controls the power, not just through spokespersons and watchdogs.

"It seems a bit difficult!"
