Chapter 1413： Merchants to develop metal mines

  Chapter 1413 Attracting investment to develop metal mines

  After a secret meeting with Fuzhi at the near-term fortress outside the Yuexia City of Shaliuhou State, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui repeatedly discussed the basic information obtained from Fuzhi and studied countermeasures.

  The two discussed for a long time, and decided to wait until August 1, the 14th year of Tianxuan, to see if the steam train from the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory to Xirong City has been increased to three times a day.

   This is a big prerequisite, whether it is developing a metal mine in the desert of the Shaliuhou Kingdom or building other branch territories, this issue must be considered.

Qu Mao also sent back the news of the opening of branch territories of the Southern Continent, Central Continent and Northern Continent through the intelligence personnel stationed in the Marquis of Shaliu to the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's Territory, so that the heroes stationed in the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's Territory could consider this issue in advance , even if it is to start a discussion.

   After Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui return to the Holy Land of Emperor Yi after finishing the phased affairs of the Shaliuhou Kingdom, they will convene a meeting to discuss the establishment of the other three continents and three branch territories.

  On July 31, the 14th year of Tianxuan, the personnel of the intelligence department finally reported to Liu Qianhui: the railway from the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory to Xirong City had achieved the goal of sending three steam trains a day.

Liu Qianhui immediately conveyed the news to Qu Mao. Qu Mao frowned, thought for a long time, and then asked: "Liu Qianhui, now that the prerequisites we imagined have been fulfilled, the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory can already be sent to Xirong City every day. I also arranged in advance to send three steam trains. The Tassel Empire and the Mughal Empire have sent a large amount of fresh water resources to the Holy Land in advance.

If we want to start aggressively developing Shaliuhou State, there is a high probability that fresh water resources will be available in a stable supply, so should we release a message now: Encourage and call on the mine owners and entrepreneurs in Yidi’s territory to come to the desert area of ​​​​Shaliuhou State to develop on their own? For metal mines, it depends on how we think about this matter. "

Liu Qianhui nodded and said, "Qu Mao, we built three towns, Iron Ore City, Minmetals City, and Metal City in the area where the three metal mines are concentrated in early July, in fact for the convenience of mine owners and entrepreneurs. Come and develop your own metal mine in the desert.

With the existence of these three towns, I estimate that even if mine owners and entrepreneurs spontaneously recruit residents to develop metal mines, there will be no risk of endangering the lives of residents. At most, the time spent working every day will slightly less.

   If we provide convenience in terms of supplies and taxation, I believe it will still be very attractive to mine owners and entrepreneurs. "

Qu Mao thought for a while, then asked: "Through July, Shaliu City has established two major scientific research institutions, the Agricultural Research Institute and the Green Plant Research Institute, and the number of researchers in the Green Plant Research Institute has increased to 150. Not counting Shaliu City, each of the other towns also has at least 2 green plant technical experts stationed to plant green plants.

  However, we don't know the green planting situation of Minmetals City, Iron Mine City and Metal City for the time being. I can only judge according to our usual city building efficiency. The basic functional buildings of these three towns should have been completed. "

  Liu Qianhui smiled and said: "I am a little stronger than you, and the city lord I appoint will report to me regularly.

  The functional buildings of Minmetals City, Iron Mine City and Metal City have all been built, but the green plants have been planted with some shrubs and weeds, and they have survived, but the area is still small and has little effect on climate regulation.

At present, among the 15 towns in Shaliuhou Kingdom, only the four towns of Yuexia City, Yuezhong City, Yueshang City and Xirong City have relatively good green plants, and Shaliu City is slightly better. It is said that there are green plants, but a large area of ​​green plants has not been planted and survived.

  For the three towns of Minmetals City, Iron Ore City, and Metal City, the city lords I appointed have transferred back all the residents of the city, but the number of firearms soldiers stationed in these three towns has increased to 2,000. Now there are no other arrangements for these three towns. Counting the city owners, managers and garrisons, there are basically less than 2,100 people, and they are all men.

I think otherwise, we should first issue policies to attract and call on the mine owners and entrepreneurs in the Yidi territory to recruit residents to independently develop metal mines in the desert, and arrange them in a unified manner in Metal City, Minmetals City and Iron Ore City. Three towns, these three towns are completely handed over to mine owners and entrepreneurs to develop with commercial ideas. "

   Qu Mao said with a smile: "That's fine, but you must rely on the media to release your investment promotion policy. Among all the media, "Yidao Weekly" is currently the most influential.

  So let's go, on the way back to the Holy Land, at least three days and three nights will be on the steam train, and there will be plenty of time for you to think about policies and write investment policy announcements. "

  Liu Qianhui nodded and said, "Well, that's fine! Let's go back to the Holy Land. In fact, we usually discuss a lot of policies, and we just publish them in better language."

On the evening of July 31, the 14th year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui started to go to Xirong City, and then directly passed the two-way portal, boarded the steam train at Guan'ai Railway Station, and drove staggeringly towards the holy land of Emperor Yi's territory .

On the steam train bound for the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory, Liu Qianhui and Qu Mao had a thorough discussion again, and finally decided to divide the investment policy into several parts: firstly, the first three months of development are tax-free, no fees are charged, and each One person who goes to Iron Ore City, Metal City and Minmetals City independently will be provided with free accommodation and 10 liters of fresh water will be distributed to each person for free every day.

  And the transportation of these personnel from Xirong City to Minmetals City, Iron Mine City, and Metal City will be escorted by soldiers of the Firearms Army of the Marquis of Shaliu and provide camels.

From the fourth month to the end of the first year, all metal mine products and metal smelting products only need to pay 1% tax each. This tax rate is compared with the 10% tax rate of the Holy Land of the Yidi Territory and the independent territories. The above 15% is already as low as the floor price.

   Even compared to the 5% that was given to the northwestern region of the Eastern Continent to independently develop metal mines, it is much cheaper. As long as this news is released, it will definitely be very attractive to mine owners and entrepreneurs.

  Seeing Liu Qianhui's preferential policy, Qu Mao thought for a while before expressing that he had no opinion.

With the development of railways and steam trains in the territory of Yidi, as well as the development of the new military industry, the demand for products from the metallurgical industry has reached its peak. As long as there is output, mine owners and entrepreneurs will develop metal mines in the desert area of ​​Shaliuhou State , even if the residents can only be arranged to work for one hour a day, it is still a matter of making money without losing money.

  So Qu Mao directly said to Liu Qianhui: "Liu Qianhui, write the policy, and hand it over to Xinping when you arrive at the Holy Land, and let Xinping help you publish it in the latest issue of "Island of Change Weekly."
