The first thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight chapters follow
The sudden price increase of soda ash not only has a huge impact on glass production, but also has a certain impact on daily life. Although soda ash is not necessary, after the promotion of steamed buns, it has become an important staple food on the public table. Without yeast, using some soda ash has become a habit. In addition, brushing dishes to remove oil and dirt is often used, especially many pasta merchants, which are the most affected. Who would buy steamed steamed buns?
Although there is not much demand in life, there are too many places to resist. There are millions of people in Qi Yueling alone. In addition, the total population of places such as Nanjiang, Hongyuan City, the three leaders in the east, and Zheng Xingling can reach 20 million, which is a huge demand.
Some of the territories with alkaline ore were stocked up in their hands, preparing to wait until the price of glass rises before selling at a high price, and even if the supply is supplied, it will take a very small amount. Therefore, the territory that was traded with Jiang Xingchen would call Xingchen for help.
After Mei'er finished speaking, Wanrou asked in confusion: "Why do they ask us to open their mouths? You shouldn't tell the emperor. When it comes to people's livelihood, the empire should take care of it!"
Mei'er said with a cold face: "Mr. Zheng Xing and the others must have asked for help, but there was no result, so they asked us for help. If they don't come up, they will look for us!"
Xian Ning frowned and shook her head and said, "I asked, there is no result! This."
The old man said, "This shows that the surge in alkaline racks is very difficult!" He didn't say it too straightforwardly, but everyone understands that this time the empire may not escape the relationship!"
Ling'er said coldly with a calm face: "Xingchenling is a major glass manufacturer. This matter is probably because we are here for more than half a year. It seems that some people can't help it and are preparing to make trouble for the wind and rain!"
Mei'er shook her head and said, "It's not some people, but a large number of people. I guess they all participated in this matter except Daqin Dali Yueying and Grassland!"
The old man squinted his eyes and said, "It seems that they have had this idea for a long time and contacted him in advance. Otherwise, it would be impossible to do this synchronously enough. Our eyeliner didn't get any news!"
Grandpa Fu continued: "The expansion of Minggang City, the expansion of curse land, and the construction of a metropolis, there are many places that need glass behind it! They want to control our raw materials and wait until the price of glass increases before robbing us of the bamboo robbery?"
Mei'er shook her head and said seriously: "Things are not that simple! Their launch this time is unusual. My brother said before that the Star Territory is remote. If the empire wants to suppress our development, it only needs to control the raw materials. However, the emperor did not dare to break up with his brother before, and did not do so. Now that my brother has been away for a long time, they are going to break up with his face!"
Ling'er sneered and said, "In the past, the Xingchen Leader did not develop, and it was useful to cut off the supply of raw materials and materials. But now, the grassland, Daqin Dali and Yueying Kingdom should have alkaline ores! And we also have alkaline ores overseas, and there are also alkaline ores on the four major islands overseas, right?"
Mei'er said: "The alkaline ore of the grassland, Dali, Daqin and Yueying is not rich. You can only save the situation for a while, and it will definitely not work for a long time! It is OK overseas, but first, the transportation is too far, and second, since the other party launches, it will definitely have a backup plan. You must be careful!"
After a moment of saliva, Mei'er's eyes swept over the people in the room, lowered her voice and said, "Actually, my brother has been prepared for this situation. I'm here to ask Sister Xianning to help."
"Oh? He had expected it long ago?" The old man widened his eyes incredibly.
"When I said that there was a shortage of alkaline ore in various places, my brother expected that such a thing would happen, so I never let the new factory in the Curse Land start now, it should be time! However, the start of the synthetic ammonia factory and alkali factory requires the guidance of Sister Xianning. This was what my brother ordered before leaving." Mei'er said.
"Okay! I'll set out to the curse place now!" Xian Ning stood up.
"No, no!" Mei'er waved her hand quickly. Xianning is now six months pregnant, so how can she run long distances? She just needs to find a researcher, provide verbal guidance, and then ask the researcher to go. Besides, there is a telegram now, so it is convenient to contact. If you have any questions, it will be too late to ask!
As she said that, Xianning immediately summoned the researchers who had followed her to form the alkaline factory and ammonia factory. Except for Ling'er who stayed with her, the rest of the people stood up and left. Mei'er also had to arrange the flying monsters and guards to take the researchers to the curse land.
When he came outside the university, the old man shouted dissatisfiedly: "I said why didn't I let the ammonia and alkaline plants be produced? I've been holding on to this move for a long time! This kid has had a solution for a long time, and he has always kept it from me!"
Grandpa Fu sighed: "The Lord did not allow him to give birth at the time, and I even argued with him that it seemed that the Lord was setting up a big banner!"
Mei'er said: "Even if the factory starts construction, it will take some time to produce soda ash! It shouldn't be calm during this period. You have to be prepared! Since the other party has started, the subsequent methods will definitely come one after another!"
The old man looked solemn and nodded, "I know this!"
After finishing the work in the back mountain, Mei'er returned to the city hall and sent several telegrams out in succession, notifying Han Xiaowu to start construction, and reminding all localities to prepare for the upcoming storm.
Then Mei'er sent a letter to Daqin, Dali and Yueying, and temporarily borrowed a batch of soda ash to ensure that the glass factory would not stop working. Then she ordered that the soda ash mined from her own alkaline ore would be supplied to major territories first.
After finishing the work at hand, it was already very late. Mei'er was about to have a meal and rest.
But she hadn't left the city hall yet. Daqin, Dali and Yueying replied one after another, saying that there was a major accident in their alkaline mine and that there was not much mining for the time being, and it was only enough for them to use.
Mei'er frowned, and this situation was a bit unexpected. There was an accident in the alkaline mines in the three kingdoms at the same time, and the probability was almost zero. Unless they changed their minds when they saw the wind and found that the situation was wrong and wanted to break away from their relationship with the Star Leader. Also, these accidents were man-made and were secretly attacked by hostile forces!
"Hmph!" After a while, Mei'er sneered and sent out three more telegrams, respectively, to Mingque Island, Sizhou Island, and Chongming Island. She was going to mobilize soda ash from overseas!
As soon as the telegram from her was sent out, another telegram arrived soon. Bad news followed one after another, and the letter said that the price of iron ore was also rising.
"It's true that it's wave after wave!" Mei'er slapped the telegram on the table and clenched her fists hard.
At the same time, in the palaces of the Great Qin Kingdom, the Dali Kingdom and the Yueying Kingdom, the emperors of the three countries were furious and scolding their subordinates: "Alkali mines are key protected places, and there are troops stationed in the city. How could a large-scale explosion occur? Hurry up and check it out!" (~^~)
