"This involves the affairs of the State of Yan. In terms of diplomacy, we may have to be in a certain passive situation." Zhang Liang analyzed after getting Zhang Qing's telegram.

"Well. There is indeed a large amount of wood in the northern Liaoning area of ​​Yan State, but these woods need to be transported to us. The most important thing is that these woods need to be transported, but there are still many links on the way that have not been resolved." Han Shu Speaking of some distress.

There are a large number of undeveloped forests in the northern part of the Liaoning Kingdom, that is, the mountainous areas. These forests are good areas for logging. However, how to transport the wood after logging has become the biggest problem between South Korea and the Kingdom of Yan.

"The only solution is to use horse-drawn carriages or ox carts to pull the logs, and then arrive at Xiangping. From Xiangping to train to Handan, from Handan to Xinzheng, the railway can barely pass, and then from Xinzheng to Jiaozhou. It then passes through the edge of Jiaozhou for further transportation." Zhang Liang said helplessly. This is currently the most practical way.

"Or use the waterway, but the northern waterway has frozen, making it difficult for ships to navigate." Zhang Liang continued.

"This is the only way to do it. Or you can do simple processing here in Xinzheng, such as baking, and then cut into various wood blocks, and then further pack, box, and transport to where we need it." Han Shu said.

"Well. That's fine. It's just a bit cumbersome. If you don't know the size, the situation will be very bad." Zhang Liang suggested. Han Shu wanted to further reduce some unnecessary processes in Xinzheng, South Korea. However, Zhang Liang took into account some specific factors, such as the size of the shipyard. You must know that the Yan Guoren used the size of Qin State, and The Korean shipyard uses Korea's own size, and there is a big gap between the two. Once such a gap occurs, the situation will be very bad, and all the processes must be repeated.

"Yeah. Okay, just do it like this." Han Shu said.

Qin State Xianyang.

"This is a typical unfavorable factor in traffic caused by trade growth. It seems that after the beginning of the spring, various countries will have a large-scale infrastructure construction." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi after reading the telegram from South Korea.

"Well, not only us, but also the Western Regions, but I am worried that the current steel output has not been able to increase. I think we should urge Wenyang Iron and Steel Group to let them understand what Qin State is currently in?" Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Yes, the newspapers have begun to be extremely dissatisfied with Wenyang Iron and Steel. For example, some military industry companies are very dissatisfied with this. They have submitted a report requesting an investigation of Wenyang Iron and Steel Group's monopoly behavior." Shang Wen said worriedly. .

"I think it is necessary to do this. They have done too much. In the past few months, Wenyang Iron and Steel's steel output has only maintained its original basis. It is ridiculous that there will be one or two months of reduction. Many of their reasons turned out to be maintenance of equipment, but according to our investigation, their equipment has not stopped operating at all. Wenyang Iron and Steel's behavior has been very bad." Meng Yi said to Shangwen dissatisfied. Steel and military production are extremely related. After Wenyang Iron & Steel got the steel equipment, it did not increase Qin's steel output.

"Well, we will investigate them, but on the other hand, we have to use new technologies to encourage some new factories and enterprises to enter the steel industry. This is an important plan of the government." Shang Wen said.

"It is mainly aimed at civil steel." Shang Wen added.

"I understand this, and it will be posted soon." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

Within Wenyang Group.

"Damn, what does he want to do? Investigate Wenyang Steel?" Yingyu was extremely dissatisfied after receiving the report.

"Chairman, in the long run, the demand for steel will increase a lot, and the government may already be dissatisfied with the reduction in steel production brought about by Wenyang Steel's monopoly." Xiao He said worriedly.

"We are doing this for the benefit of the State of Qin." Yingyu said.

"But we did not do it right." Xiao He said.

"We have no funds. We are still in a technologically superior position. There is no need to continue to invest a lot of funds under such circumstances to keep our steel production in a leading position. It is not necessary and profitable. Our steel companies are very profitable. This is business management. What are government departments? They have fiscal revenues themselves, so they will naturally not consider the feelings of our companies." Yingyu accused the government of not knowing how to operate companies.

"But, I think." Xiao He wanted to continue to persuade Yingyu to take action.

"Okay. I know how to do this. I will ask the government what we should have in this matter. We must complete this matter." Yingyu said firmly. Then she started to pick up the phone. Xiao He had no choice but to leave the office.

Zhao State of Handan. The laboratory of Handan Iron Works.

"Such a blast furnace can indeed be done, but it takes a lot of cost and time, and the amount of coal consumed is also very staggering." Yang Ding said to Li Mu who was visiting the Handan Iron Factory. As an important technician, it is necessary for him to turn the research results of the laboratory into actual production equipment.

"It's just that our technical level is here." Li Zuoche explained.

"Technical level?" Yang Ding asked Li Zuoche displeasedly. Li Zuoche looked at Yang Ding at a loss. He didn't understand why this professor was so unhappy.

"I think you have problems yourself. Technology can be solved by manpower. It is precisely because of technical problems that people will have more ways to solve these problems. Technology is not a problem at all. Only your attitude is the problem. "Yang Ding said to Li Zuoche displeased.

"However, I think your technical apprentices are doing well. I just pointed out that in the future, there will definitely not be such high-energy-consuming equipment, and their efficiency is too low. We must accept another kind of energy. Or all the energy base based on this." Yang Ding said while looking at the blast furnace.

"I don't know what kind of energy?" Li Mu asked cautiously.

"Electricity." Yang Ding said.

"Qin's iron smelting uses electricity, and for some reasons, they can solve many problems. For example, hot rolling mills, temperature, and speed are relatively stable. Of course, these technologies are confidential and demanding. The most. The important thing is that you can't do this yet, but we must be aware of this." Yang Ding said solemnly.
