In fact, Bai Kesi only spoke half of his words, and the other half was stuffed in his stomach.Even when he was talking to his son, Beks didn't reveal all his thoughts. After all, some operations under the table are not suitable for inexperienced young people to know.
In fact, Bai Kesi had already decided in his heart that Chen Yixin had a plan long ago. The reason why he didn't propose it during the inspection of the Denglai area, but waited for their group to arrive in Liaodong before discussing it was to let them see the actual situation here first. , in order to enhance persuasion, so that the Executive Committee agrees to some development strategies of the Northern Region.
Haihan has a large number of valuable mineral deposits available for development in the jurisdiction of Liaodong, and has the basic conditions for establishing an industrial system. However, the shortage of labor force population will obviously restrict this development direction, so get the population from the neighboring countries dominated by Ming Dynasty becomes the best solution to the problem.
In order to achieve this goal, exerting military pressure on the target must also be one of the means that the Northern Region will adopt.To achieve this, the size of the existing armed forces in the northern region is inevitably a bit stretched, so military expansion and preparations for war are logically included in the agenda.
Expansion of the army and construction of industry are two plans that Chen Yixin has proposed earlier.The population needs of the Liaodong region naturally linked these two plans together.Of course, this was not a coincidence, Beks believed that this was Chen Yixin's overall plan.
The young man who followed Wang Tom, Qian Tiandun and others in the past is now a member of the party in charge of the northern region, with tens of thousands of soldiers under him, and the neighboring countries also have to look at his face.It is no exaggeration to say that even if he divides the territory and establishes himself as king now, his strength is enough to gain a firm foothold in the area from the Liaodong Peninsula to the Shandong Peninsula.If it is strengthened in terms of military and industry, the independence of the northern region will inevitably increase further.
Bai Kesi does not doubt Chen Yixin's loyalty to the country, but if the northern region wants wind and rain, has money, food and weapons, whether there will be a risk of losing control in the future, that is something that the Executive Committee must consider question.
It's just that this kind of consideration is not humane, and it is impossible to point out to Chen Yixin that Bai Kesi can only make judgments based on the limited information he has.However, the investigation trip is still in progress at this time, so there is no need for Beks to rush to draw conclusions.
After resting in Haicheng for a day, the group continued to set off.Going northwest for 120 miles, you will reach Liaoyang City, an important town in Eastern Liaodong.
Liaoyang is one of the oldest cities in the Liaodong region. As early as the Warring States Period, it was designated by the State of Yan as the seat of Liaodong County.In the following dynasties, Liaoyang has always been a regional central city.The Protectorate of Andong in the Tang Dynasty, the Liaoyang Province in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Liaodong Commander and Envoy in the Ming Dynasty all set up their governing offices in Liaoyang City.
And Liaoyang has an extraordinary significance to Haihan. The underground here is rich in mineral resources. Coal and iron ore do not even need to be explored. They are all ready-made, and their reserves are enough to support the production needs of large-scale coal and iron composite industries. .Especially in the Anshan area south of Liaoyang City, its iron ore reserves are the largest under Haihan's rule, enough to be mined for hundreds of years.
On the way to Liaoyang, the group first visited an iron ore mine in Anshan area.However, the mining conditions here are significantly different from mines in the Denglai area of Shandong. Whether it is the number of miners, mining machinery, or mining methods and scales, they are much worse than those in Shandong.
As far as everyone can see, most of the operating areas in the mine are mined and transported manually by miners, and there are not even many mules and horses. Its operational efficiency can be imagined.
"This mine was already in operation during the reigns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but the irony is that the production capacity after we take over is not as good as before. You have seen the reason. There used to be more than [-] miners here all the year round. , now there are less than a thousand, and there is a lack of mining equipment, so the production capacity can be imagined."
Liu Shang introduced the situation of this mine to everyone, with regret and unwillingness in his tone, obviously dissatisfied with the production status of the mine: "The iron mines we operate in the Taedong River Basin in North Korea are even worse than mines. Much better here!"
This analogy is actually not very fair. As early as 1637, Haihan took advantage of the opportunity of aiding North Korea to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and began to take over the Daedong River area in northern North Korea. The mining time was more than ten years earlier than Haihan took over here, so it is not surprising that there is a gap in the production capacity of the mine.
However, Liu Shang’s purpose of using this as an example is obviously to highlight that the main reason for the unsatisfactory production conditions of the local iron mines is the shortage of labor force, deliberately blurring the differences in the production environments of the two places.
This kind of deliberate way of shouting bitterness will definitely not be able to scare Bai Kesi who knows the inside story, but it can touch the young people who came here for the first time.
Bai Letong replied: "The Liaodong coal-iron composite industry planned by the northern region should not be feasible with such a production level, right? It seems that we must try to solve the labor demand as soon as possible."
Ning Zijing also added: "There are also mining machinery and equipment needed for production. It seems that we have to find ways to supplement them. The mining efficiency is too low with manpower alone."
They are used to the mines in Haihan that use construction machinery to mine, and they always think that is the normal way of operation. They don't know that in this era, except Haihan, almost all places use this method of manual mining.Although manual mining is inefficient, it is not useless.
Although Haihan's mining method is more efficient, in addition to the technical requirements, the economic investment is also huge, and the preparation period is much longer than manual mining. Just so many large mining machines have to be transported to the mine. It will take several months to formulate mining plans and complete installation and commissioning.As long as the labor force is in place, manual mining can start within a few days. Compared with expensive mechanical equipment, the cost of using manpower is also extremely low.
Even if Haihan has mastered advanced mine engineering technology, in terms of specific mining methods, he must weigh the benefits of input and output before making a corresponding decision.Not every mine can use a large number of mining construction machinery to mine like the places Bai Letong and others have visited.
For example, the tin mines that Haihan mined on Bangka Island and Belitung Island in the South China Sea in the early years were far away from Sanya, and the mining equipment at that time was relatively small, and the value of the minerals produced was relatively limited. During this period, the local mining operations were carried out manually.
As for the mining method used by the mines in Liaodong, it must be determined after comprehensive consideration of various objective conditions.But one thing is certain, there is no problem in terms of funding in the northern region, which can be seen from the operation of the mines in the Denglai area.The reason why the gap between the two places is so obvious, Bai Kesi even suspects that Chen Yixin did it on purpose, the purpose is to highlight the population shortage in the Liaodong area, and then prompt the executive committee to approve the population expansion plan in the northern region.
