Hong Jinglai has no plans to make any minor repairs to North Korea for the time being. It's boring. It's boring to get scolded after making repairs that are of little use. He simply tightens his purse strings first, lest in the future there will be a situation where the finance minister puts down his job and bluntly says that he can't do it. The officers and soldiers' pay and officials

It's such a bad thing that you can't even pay for it with your salary.

This template is easy. Hong Jinglai can directly refer to the one next door. During the reform period, a large number of modern enterprises were established and the money earned was many times more than in the past.

Referring to the situation in North Korea itself, there is not much rural surplus population now, which is different from the overpopulation situation in the rural areas next door. Therefore, the conditions for developing labor-intensive large-scale handicraft industry are not mature enough. After all, it is impossible to convert a large number of people into

Population was driven out of agricultural production.

The Qing Dynasty is now in the midst of a rare famine, in areas such as Guangdong and Fujian. Without the import of Siamese and Annan rice, the entire society would collapse in a short time. Even with a large amount of imported rice, Fujian and Guangdong people still went to Southeast Asia in large numbers.

The reason why I went to a strange Southeast Asian region to survive was because I couldn’t even get enough to eat in my hometown.

Not to mention Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places that North Korea directly faces. Although they occupy the Taihu Plain, they need to purchase food supplements from other places every year. During the Jiaqing and Daoguang years, serious disasters occurred in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Anhui provinces many times.

During the rice buying incident, the governor-general personally went to grab rice.

In the end, not only did it go to Tianting, but it even turned into a public case. The reason was simply that the population was multiplying in large numbers, and agricultural production was stagnant and could not provide enough food. As a result, everyone was tightly guarding their food bags, and even if they offended others, they would not allow local people to do so.

Food transportation.

It is completely inconsistent with North Korea's national conditions to launch a campaign similar to "sheep eating people" by purchasing grain and rice from outside. Under the current circumstances, priority is given to industries with short investment time, quick results, and high profit output.

In addition to the customary foreign trade and the mechanical textile institute that Hong Jinglai commissioned Lin Sangwo to start in Incheon, those that meet this requirement are mining and forestry.

Firstly, these people are already engaged in this industry, and there is no need to expand manpower from other places. Secondly, the results are absolutely quick. Once the trees are cut down, they can be sold and the mines can be mined and refined to make money.

The forestry industry didn’t have any good ideas for a while, but the mining boom was impressive. Before crossing over, there was a very ridiculous farce between the two countries. A company from country C believed the lies of country K and took machinery.

With technology and cash, almost one billion was invested in a certain country K to invest in the construction of a joint mining enterprise.

On the surface, it seems that companies from country C account for 51% of the shares, and country K holds 49%. It seems to be the same thing. After everything is built and basically ready for production, country K will directly send troops to expel all personnel from country C.

I picked up such a modern mining enterprise for free.

Huishan Copper Mine!

Asia’s No. 1 Copper Mine!

I remembered the name quite clearly, and Hong Jinglai would definitely not be mistaken. He immediately sent someone to find a map of the Eight Paths. This place should be in Xianjing Road, close to the Changbai Mountains, and the traffic conditions are slightly worse. However, the Xuchuan River flows directly through it.

The mining area then merges into the XX River on the border between the two countries, which leads directly to Yiju. What else is there to say about Yiju, a major trade port in the Qing Dynasty? It is extremely convenient.

But after rummaging around, there was no so-called Huishan's name at all. With no other choice, Hong Jinglai could only find Li Zaichao, Hong Congjue and a group of their brothers. They were familiar with the geography of Xianjing Road and might know where Huishan was.

where.

But more than a dozen people shook their heads when they heard the name Huishan. Even Li Zaichao, who is most familiar with hiking over mountains and ridges, said that this place does not exist at all. Although he dare not say that he has visited every village, he has visited almost all market towns and villages.

He knew everything. If there really was a big copper mine like Hong Jinglai said, it would definitely not be named like that.

"If we talk about copper mines, there is a large copper mine in Tongdiandong, Gashan County. It has been mined for many years, but I heard that the veins have also been exhausted and are not as prosperous as before." Li Zaichao pulled the map and pointed out the rough map.

Location.

"Jiashan, I've heard of it all before, and there are indeed copper mines." Hong Congjue also said that this was indeed the case.

"Copper has been discovered and has been mined for many years?" Hong Jinglai didn't understand the mining history of Jiashan Copper Mine at all, and his eyes darkened.

"Yes, but the local kitchen households are far less prosperous than before..."

"This is strange." Hong Jing looked at the location of Jiashan, and it really looked like where Huishan should be.

But several people in front of me categorically said that the copper mine in Jiashan has been mined for many years and is now exhausted. This is absolutely impossible. The Huishan Copper Mine is the largest copper mine in Asia and is still being mined in the 21st century.

It's there, how could it dry up?

"Although the copper mines have been exhausted, Xiaguan once heard that placer gold was found in a nearby pit." Li Jichu, who was standing aside, suddenly challenged him.

When it comes to gold, everyone gets excited. Gold is a good thing. Who doesn’t like it? When it comes to gold mines, there are indeed many gold mines in Ping An Road and Hamjing Road. Unfortunately, they can neither do prospecting nor do they know how to prospect for gold.

If you don’t know how to mine, you can only watch others make money.

"Is there placer gold?" Hong Jinglai suddenly had an idea.

Because the mine is very likely to exist with it, there was no doubt that there was violent volcanic activity in the northern mountainous area of ​​​​North Korea. The famous Changbai Mountain Tianchi in later generations is a dormant volcano, and the entire Changbai Mountain area should theoretically be enriched

A lot of minerals.

The placer gold discovered in Jiashan may have been brought to the surface from the underground after a volcanic eruption in ancient times. If there is a large amount of placer gold in the pit valley now, then there will definitely be other placer gold brought out by the volcanic eruption in the shallower part of the pit valley.

mineral.

Combined with what Hong Jinglai knew about the Huishan copper mine, it is possible that this placer gold-producing pit valley will be the location of the largest copper mine in Asia in the future.

It must be right!

Hong Jinglai only thought that this would be the location of the Huishan Copper Mine in the future, and did not pay much attention to the placer gold above. In fact, until the Japanese occupation era, Jiashan's placer gold was still being continuously produced. The volcanic eruption can bring out the best placer gold in Asia.

Copper mines, so the gold that spurts out by the way is naturally a truck load, which is difficult to count.

"Immediately find a few craftsmen who are familiar with exploring copper mine veins, and then select coppersmiths from the official slaves of the workers and send them to Jiashan to search for copper veins."
