The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

The crowd became heated again. Although they didn't know how much it cost to build a house, they knew that there must be some profit in it. Building a house to sell, the house is not afraid that no one will buy it, especially the house in the town.

"Prime Minister, iron materials are controlled by the imperial court and cannot be privately owned..."

Someone soon thought of the doubts. Whether it is a railway or a new-style bungalow, a large amount of iron is needed, but iron is one of the most precious items in this era. Especially in times of war, the consumption of the army is terrible. In many cases, the iron is basically Not enough for the army, let alone for the common people.

Moreover, iron is a material for making weapons. Like guns and ammunition in later generations, it is a controlled product. The imperial court absolutely does not allow ordinary people to own weapons, so the monitoring of iron is very strict. As for the people like them who want to use iron, and such a large scale, almost impossible.

Chapter 584 It Doesn't Matter

"You don't need to worry about this matter. There is iron material manufacturing technology in the patent book, and the right to acquire iron ore will also be given to you. Of course, mineral resources are owned by the imperial court. You only have the right to mine and manufacture. The imperial court will send someone to supervise , and charge a certain amount of money.” The iron and steel production technology is quite advanced, and the iron factory in the hands of Liu Bei can barely meet the needs of the Han army.

Under such circumstances, Chen Ziming decided to issue mining rights such as iron ore, and at the same time, various ore mining rights, among which coal mines accounted for a considerable share.

Moreover, Chen Ziming wants to start the mining era of the great man, let the people of the world know the importance of minerals, let them see the countless wealth underground, and let them taste the sweetness, so that they will have the heart to enter.

Are there many mineral resources in Dahan, many, very many, but they are limited after all, and they all belong to the state. Not only do most of the profits obtained from mining have to be handed over to the imperial court, but they will also be subject to strict supervision.

But in this world, there are not only big men and minerals. The outside world is very big and has a lot of resources. If you want to make a fortune and not be controlled, then go outside to plunder. If you have the ability, what you get back is yours. fee.

Chen Ziming believes that under the guidance of interests, there will be a group of ruthless people with wolfishness in the big man. The big man needs such people to find more resources instead of consuming his own foundation on the mainland.

"Prime Minister, I don't know this iron mine......"

Many people immediately set their sights on iron materials. Iron is always in urgent need. The army needs a lot of iron, but the common people cannot live without iron. It is an astronomical figure, and it is a huge benefit.

"This matter is also managed by people in the court. You can go and find out a thing or two."

Mining mines is not as difficult as building railways, and safety is also a problem. The lives of the Han people are not a trifling matter. Mining mines must be strictly supervised to prevent human lives from being ignored.

Many people set their sights on these big projects, but there are still many small families and small businessmen who are unable to participate. The investment in these projects is terrible, and they cannot afford them.

So cement, bricks, soap, chili and other products come into their eyes, and they see huge markets and huge profits from them.

In the end, Chen Ziming did not forget the purpose of gathering these rich people, asking for money, of course, not for nothing, in Chen Ziming's words, this is patent royalties, if you want to use it, just take the money.

Of course, patent royalties are not much, and many big businessmen and big clans have not yet made a move. What they fancy are railways, house renovations, mining, iron manufacturing and other big projects. Only then can a decision be made.

Chen Ziming said that these big projects have very large profits and involve a lot of money. Anyone who participates in these big projects needs to pay a large amount of deposits, and these projects are not free. They need money to buy from the court. Huge expenses.

The press conference of the Dahan Patent Department was successfully concluded. Not only did Chen Ziming collect nearly a million dollars on the spot, but this was still a small part. Many large projects were still under planning. Whether it was railway construction or house renovation, professional planning was required and the investment was considerable. Great, take your time.

If you ask these people to borrow money, you can borrow some money to send beggars. As for asking for money, I’m sorry, they are also poor, but if there are benefits, and there are huge benefits, then money is not a problem. Building a railway is expensive and does not exist. , they have plenty of money.

The establishment of the Patent Department spread throughout Linzi the next day, and then spread everywhere. The name of the Patent Department also spread throughout the world. Many patent inventors among them received considerable benefits, which once again sparked a wave of invention and creation. wave.

Of course, the establishment of the Patent Department not only affects these, but also the students of countless colleges and universities, especially those students of unpopular majors, such as geography, mathematics, physics and a group of students who are confused about their future. Clans one by one came to the door, recruiting with high salaries.

Countless merchant clans came to the college to seek students in various fields, which made many poor scholars see hope. Their future way out is no longer just to be a small official. Yu Xiaoli's income.

The right to use the patent was successfully sold, and a large amount of money was obtained to immediately support the military department that was depleted of funds. The production of new weapons no longer has funding problems, and subsequent funds have also been resolved. It is conceivable that once the imperial court makes preparations for railways and other aspects, it will be A large amount of income will be obtained.

The money is all one-time. Many people feel that Chen Ziming has lost the taste of picking sesame seeds by doing this, but they don't see that countless factories will be erected on the land of Dahan. This is the development of the country, and this is Dahan. grow.

And factories have to collect taxes every year. The more factories there are, the more goods they produce, and the more taxes the big man gets.The reason why Liu Bei is so rich now, and why he is richer than Cao Cao and Sun Quan, is because merchants are prevalent in Liu Bei's territory, with many factories and rich sources of taxation.

In the near future, the factories under Liu Bei's rule will face a big explosion. It is conceivable how much tax revenue will be brought to Liu Bei at that time. A country cannot become rich by relying on agricultural tax and salt tax alone.

"Zi Ming, once these technologies are distributed, they will be learned by others soon..." While Liu Bei is benefiting, he also thinks of the disadvantages. It is inevitable that some people will secretly use these patented technologies secretly. This is tantamount to stealing Liu Bei's money, of course Liu Bei is worried.

After hearing this, Chen Ziming smiled slightly and said, "Brother, don't worry, if someone within a big man dares to do this, the national law will not allow it. Although it won't lead to ransacking the family and exterminating the clan, he can be fined a lot of money and avoid responsibility for his crime."

Liu Bei's hidden guards are not decorations, and there are many supervision departments established in various places. This kind of thing can't be hidden for long. If the people under Liu Bei dare to do this, it is tantamount to saving Liu Bei's money, and it is the kind of high interest.

"As for other lands." Of course, Chen Ziming knew the consciousness of other lands in Liu Bei's mouth, referring to the lands of Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Looking at Liu Beidao, Chen Ziming jokingly said, "It doesn't matter if you let them use it for free for a few years."

"Of course! It doesn't matter if you let them live for a few years!" After hearing this, Liu Bei was in a good mood, so he just gave them a few years. After a few years, those who stole his money will be returned double. One million, when the king comes to the world.

Chapter 585 Letter from the Mission

"That's right." Chen Ziming suddenly thought of something, and asked Liu Bei, "Where did the third brother go?"

Zhang Fei was sent out by Liu Bei for training, Chen Ziming knew about it, but he had been busy during this time, so he didn't pay attention, today was a bit quiet, suddenly remembered Zhang Fei's loud voice.

"I just received the Yide Army report yesterday, and now I have arrived in Langya County, and I am going to go to Xiapi, Xuzhou." Speaking of Zhang Fei, Liu Bei smiled, but Chen Ziming couldn't laugh after hearing it.

"Ziming, is there something wrong?" Seeing that Chen Ziming's expression was not good, Liu Bei hurriedly asked.

Chen Ziming nodded and said: "Xuzhou is the place where the three wars took place. Cao Cao and Sun Quan paid a lot of attention. If the third brother suddenly leads an army in, it may arouse the suspicion of Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Then there will be troubles again, which will not be good for our plan."

Zhang Fei's status is special, and this time he brought a legion directly, which is easy to be misunderstood. It is easy to make people think that Zhang Fei is going to open the way for Liu Bei, and Liu Bei may arrive later.It is not good for Zhang Fei to go to Xuzhou. Isn't this to stimulate Cao Cao and Sun Quan?

The most important thing is that Chen Ziming is afraid that Zhang Fei will not come back obediently when he arrives in Xiapi, but will go to Xuanwu. Get ready, starting a war now will only delay Liu Bei's unification.

"I will order Yide to come back." Liu Bei also thought of the impact of it, and thought of Zhang Fei's character, he might go to the front to train soldiers. Thinking of this, Liu Bei immediately sent messengers to order Zhang Fei to return immediately.

Liu Bei sighed and said, "The establishment of the Thunderbolt Army has been criticized by the court. They are afraid that the military will find various reasons to continue to increase troops, which violates the original intention of the large-scale disarmament."

The formation of the Thunderbolt Army has been going on for a long time, and the mobilization of personnel has been completed. The newly formed Thunderbolt Army is an independent army, that is to say, it is another army of 5 people, divided into five divisions, directly under the military headquarters.

Chen Ziming listened to Liu Bei's words, nodded slightly and said: "I didn't think carefully about this matter, but the number of Thunderbolt cars is limited, and they need to be used collectively to be of great use. It is impossible to establish them among various armies in a short time. military."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "I have suppressed this matter in the court, but we can't continue to increase the number of troops, otherwise it will affect the prestige of the court."

It was agreed that only one million troops would be left, and that no more troops would be added at random, but now, as soon as the words fell, a legion was added directly, and the investment in this legion was terrifying, even the huge military expenditure of the military department Not enough, and asking for money everywhere, of course those ministers have gossip to talk about.

Everything was settled. As for Zhang Fei, when he returned to Linzi, Chen Ziming planned to transfer him to Youzhou, where the land is sparsely populated. As long as Zhang Fei doesn't go to the grassland, he can do whatever he wants.

As for railway construction, housing renovation, mining development, etc., all of them are left to Liu Bei. The court will also establish corresponding departments, gradually improve the corresponding laws, and train professionals. Everything will take time. These things are blank, not Chen Ziming It can be done in a few words.

There will definitely be loopholes and many problems in the early stage, but this road must be blazed, and then go on. This is the only way for the development of a country. A strong empire does not just need to have a strong army. If the army is strong, there is no Strong economic support, in the end is nothing.

At this time, Chen Ziming deeply understood why war is for politics. Without a strong national strength, no matter how strong the army is, it is only a momentary prestige. This is not what Chen Ziming needs.

Early the next morning, as soon as Chen Ziming woke up, someone came from the palace, and Liu Bei rushed to call Chen Ziming.

Chen Ziming didn't dare to be negligent. Liu Bei would not send someone to recruit Chen Ziming under normal circumstances. Once he did so, it meant that something big would happen.Along the way, Chen Ziming wondered what went wrong.

Chen Ziming was most worried about Zhang Fei. He was afraid that Zhang Fei would not listen to Liu Bei's words and continue to go deep into Xuzhou, and even go to Cao Cao or Sun Quan's territory, which would stimulate Cao Cao or Sun Quan and cause them to send troops to fight.

But after arriving at Liu Bei's study, he was slightly relieved when he learned why Liu Bei urgently recruited him. As long as there is no war, everything is easy to talk about.

"The mission has passed the Guishuang Empire and entered the Parthian-Sasanian Dynasty. This is a letter sent back by the accompanying hidden guards." Liu Bei's words made Chen Ziming very excited. He really wanted to understand this era, the pattern of the world and the rest of the world. The strength, now finally got the first message.

Of the four great empires in the world in this era, the Han Empire is the strongest, followed by the huge Roman Empire. As for the Parthian-Sasanian Dynasty, Chen Ziming doesn’t know much about it. The Guishuang Empire, which is closer to the Han Dynasty, is not as powerful according to historical records. Not very strong.

"In the west of Liangzhou, Guo Huang entered the Western Regions, and the Western Regions were in chaos. They were divided into 28 countries, more than [-] miles from east to west, with mountains in the north and south, and rivers in the center. There are different countries in the Western Regions, such as city walls, or nomads."

"People in the Western Regions are weak, and they don't worry about the strength of Hu and Qiang. The closest one is the Qiang Kingdom, with 450 households, 750 population, and 570 soldiers. Then there is the Loulan Kingdom, with [-] households, [-] population, and [-] soldiers. One thousand nine hundred..."
