"New Kingsoft has come out of the great golden vein again? Oh my God, it is really worthy of being the name of New Kingsoft. But Lao Cheng, this New Kingsoft is the territory of New Kingsoft Colonial Company."

Who doesn’t know that the Queen and the concubines invested in a partnership with each other? In fact, this is what the emperor made for him in the harem. It was just a name for them. In fact, it was all about professional managers. The Queen and the others needed to ask about it. It was a lot of money for the money every year.

When New Gold Mountain in Australia discovered the Great Golden Vein, it was no longer Cheng Yaojin's turn to make the decision.

Old Cheng smiled, "Did you forget that the queen's surname is Cui, and my wife's surname is Cui?"

Cheng Yaojin's original wife was not surnamed Cui, but her original wife had died for many years. Later, she married Cui's family, who Zhang Chao helped to be a matchmaker. Cui was still the queen's aunt in terms of age. In the New Jinshan Colonial Company, of course, the queen had the most shares, and the emperor also had several concubines named Cui.

Lao Cheng has this relationship, so of course he was able to participate in the development of the new mine of New Kingsoft.

Luo Shixin has been engaged in mineral production over the years, but he mainly does coal mining and coking. He can be called Dahua's number one coal boss. With the continuous expansion of the need for iron and steel making, and more and more people in Dahua use coal more and more, Luo Shixin's wealth is extremely strong.

If it weren't for the royal family's largest coal mines, Luo Shixin would have definitely had a place on the list of rich people in the Great China.

"Old Cheng, how could you lose such a good thing? Isn't it just one million shares? It's just a share of mine. It's not a problem for me to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Cheng Yaojin smiled, one million guan is not a big deal. If you really want to invest, the queen and the others can make it up by themselves. But since they are used to recruit shareholders, of course, it is to better integrate resources. To develop such a good gold mine, it requires not only capital, but also a lot of other resources, such as craftsmen in gold mining, such as the large number of miners required for gold mining, and even because they are far away in Australia, they also need support from shipping and other aspects.

To put it bluntly, this cooperation recruits not only wealthy shareholders, but shareholders with these resources.

"Lao Luo, you have a big appetite. You only have hundreds of thousands of words, and you are not afraid of choking. I, Lao Cheng, came forward in person, but I only got 10% of the shares. Since you want to join a group, of course there is no problem. As long as you, Luo, help solve the problems of miners and mining, you will also give you 10% of the shares. How about it?"

"What you said is lightweight. Of course I can provide mining technology, but I can't solve this miner. Damn, you don't know how expensive the miners are now, especially those with some experience, which is even more difficult. My coal mines are also short of people everywhere. Every month, there are no thousands of people in those mines?"

Coal mining is an industry that requires a lot of people, and it is an industry that is easy to die.

A thousand people died in a month, but Luo Shixin said that it was less. In fact, the working lifespan of the coal miners in the Luo family was basically no more than three years. Miners bought from various places were sent to the coal mines to dig coal, and the light of the sky was gone.

Most of them died of landslides, explosions and other accidents in three years.

There are so many minerals in the Luo family, at least tens of thousands of people die a year, and there are not many in each mine, but OnePlus is very scary. The people who died even have more than a big battle.

Nowadays, Dahua conquered and developed foreign countries, and sometimes destroyed a country, but few tens of thousands of people died.

But it’s not surprising that this kind of thing has long been happening. This is the case in the mineral industry, especially in coal mines. There are not many miners buried under any mine. Anyway, most of these miners are slaves, and few people really care about it even if they die.

The casualties of miners have increased the costs a lot, but the profits of coal mines are extremely high, so Luo Shixin is getting richer and richer, and the mines are opening more and more.

It is said that the safety measures of the mines under the royal family are relatively more in place. For example, each miner must be equipped with a rattan hat, miners take turns to change shifts, underground mine pit safety inspections are relatively in place, and the casualties are much smaller than those of coal mines such as Luojia.

However, Luo Shixin would not care about the lives of several miners. He just thought that too many people died and the labor force was even more in short supply.

"Go to Qinzhou to buy it." Cheng Yaojindao, Qinzhou Port is operated by the royal family and is known as the largest port in the southwest. Since the opening of the port, it has become the center of the slave trade, and a large number of slaves transported from the west are all traded here.

Sometimes, those slave ships do not need to unload the slaves, and they are bought directly at the port. Most of those bold buyers are mine owners like Luo Shixin.

"The slaves in Qinzhou are not cheap now. It turns out that there were still many southwest barbarians to buy in Jingzhou, but now there are fewer and fewer barbarians in Yunnan, Qianzhong, Jiannan and other places. Now they have almost all changed their territory and registered as naturalized people." Luo Shixin sighed.

The slave market in Jingzhou was originally the second largest slave market in Dahua. The source of slaves was the natives from all over the southwest. However, now that the court's policy of changing land and returning to the land was implemented, there were no local people who were dissatisfied with the kingdom. Those who were dissatisfied had long become slaves and earned their lives in the mines of the Luo family and other mine owners.

The slaves in Qinzhou were mainly transported from the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. The slaves in their early years were mainly Persian and Roman prisoners of war, etc. In recent years, they were mainly African black slaves captured by the exiled princes such as Chengqian.

But now black slaves are not cheaper.

"Lao Luo, if you want to buy slaves, you have to go to the trustworthy world now. There are now a new slave market, with many slaves and the price is cheap. But you have to buy them at the port there and transport them back by yourself."

Luo Shixin shook his head. Xindu did have many slaves because of the war. But the slaves there did not satisfy him. "Those slaves are not good, they are all a group of lazy guys. What's the use of coming?"

He had suffered a loss. After a big battle with Xindu, Luo Shixin immediately smelled the smell and sent someone to buy slaves. At the beginning, he thought he had taken the lead and indeed bought a lot of slaves, which was much cheaper than those purchased in Qinzhou.

But after these slaves were sent to the mine, he soon discovered something was wrong. These people were far worse than the compatriots captured by the African chiefs. They needed strength but were reluctant to work.

Later he discovered that most of the slaves he bought were monks before. These people, in Trustworthy, knew to recite scriptures and worship Buddha without giving birth all day long. Not only did they have the strength, they refused to do it, and they would sit quietly and protest at all times.

Luo Shixin was very dissatisfied and had tormented many ways. These people were useless. It was simply his most failed deal.

Now when Luo Shixin heard about the slaves of Xindu, he kept his distance.

"I heard that the Engineering College of Beijing Normal University recently established a mechanical department, specializing in various mechanical research. Last time the college came to me, Lao Luo, to sponsor it, I thought this was a good direction."

The Beijing Normal University Engineering Academy found Luo Shixin and proposed a cooperation plan, which was to provide research funds. The teachers of the Institute of Engineering led the students to invent some machinery that replaced manpower for mining. For example, the mine tracks in the past greatly improved the mine transportation capacity and reduced a lot of manpower.

Of course, Luo Shixin is very excited about such a cooperation plan. He paid 100,000 yuan without saying a word and sponsored it with all his strength. As long as he can develop one or two machines that can replace some manpower, he will make a lot of money.

Not to mention that after such machines are released, they can apply for patents to build factories and make money. Using these machines on their own mines can help him relieve a lot of pressure from manpower.

"Well, those people at the Capital University are just brains. Last time someone came to me to get sponsorship, saying that they were studying some canal shipping and improving efficiency machinery. A professor also told me that they wanted to build a steam engine that could provide powerful power by using water steam. Then, they could pull the boat on the water without rowing or sailing. They could also run very fast, just like a fantasy. Although it sounds a bit magical, I, Lao Cheng, would be willing to support the strange ideas of the professors of the Capital University. I paid 50,000 jin."

Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

The Capital University is now quite famous, even more famous than the Imperial College, mainly because they are quite leading in all aspects, especially in the technical level.

The Imperial College was mainly a resident of officials, but the Imperial College came out of the capital, all technical talents from all walks of life.

Nowadays, these technical talents are more valued.

In the past, the Beijing University of Justice did develop many useful technologies. For example, the Cheng family also had many salt fields. The Beijing University of Justice used to cooperate with the Cheng family, and the Cheng family paid for research funds. They developed a new process for salt drying in seawater, which greatly improved the efficiency of salt drying and saved a lot of time and costs.

After obtaining the patent for that technology, the Cheng family directly bought the patented technology. Now that Cheng's salt farm uses this new technology, the cost savings every year is a big deal.

Because of this kind of sweetness, Cheng Yaojin is now quite willing to cooperate with the Beijing Normal University to conduct research.

Even if some sponsorship projects are never successful, even if one out of ten is successful, it will definitely be profitable. You should know that according to the sponsorship agreement, they have priority to refute the new technologies they have developed.

For example, at the moment of this steam engine project at Jingshi University, Cheng Yaojin felt that the prospects were broad. If the steam engine was really developed, it would not only be used on the ship, but also a sailboat could be turned into a steamboat, and even a carriage could be installed on a steamer. At that time, it would become a steamer without a horse. If it was used on the track, it would be even more amazing.
