After a high price, the guard of Shuangdui Fucheng Luman sold the iron mine into 100 shares. The autonomous government held 50 shares. The other 50 shares were divided into Andes, the Coopers, the Preqians, the Daqians, the five Indians, and the five Green Sea Swamps in the west. Each share was priced at 20,000 imperial silver. The autonomous government did not pay funds and occupied 50 shares with the ownership of the mine. However, it was responsible for the road traffic construction of the mine. The remaining 50 shares were purchased among the various ethnic groups. The profits obtained each year were distributed according to the amount of shares held in proportion, except for the necessary development funds left behind.

The most primitive joint-stock mine this time was because the self-built government could not provide more funds to develop the mine, but it could not be delayed, because Qin Mu had personally written to Luman to ask him to mine the first batch of ore within one year for needs. In this case, Luman introduced this plan with the consent of Liang Qiming and Su Qin.

Originally, merchants of all ethnic groups had never expected such a good thing to happen. As soon as this plan was launched, it immediately caused an uproar among merchants of all ethnic groups. Merchants asked to buy it, but the number of shares was limited. For this reason, the autonomous government issued new regulations that merchants who joined the Shuangdui Prefecture Chamber of Commerce could buy it, but it was still not enough to solve this problem. Later, several people had to be allowed to buy one, so they barely made the plan. However, the five tribes of Green Sea Swamp, which were not very interested, were not very interested. Seeing that the competition was so fierce, they all invested in buying one.

It is said that the first purchase of shares was settled, and a merchant immediately acquired them at a price of twice the government's price, or 40,000 silver, but no one was willing to sell them. In the end, someone bought the transaction at a price of 60,000 silver.

With the support of this million silver fund, the development progress of iron ore has been greatly improved, and the preliminary construction, land allocation and recruitment of workers have been very smooth. The simple road promised by the government has been basically completed, and the first batch of ore will be mined and shipped out in November as planned.

The Gaoyue people's settlement area in the eastern part of Vito Prefecture has been completely included in the management of the local self-built government. Due to the reference of Northwest County, there is not much change. The management model established by the Gaoyue people's settlement in Northwest County was deeply agreed by the Gaoyue people in North Loulan, so all this went very smoothly. There were even many Gaoyue residents from other countries who came here from thousands of miles to hope to become members of this place.

Liang Qiming told the development of the territory in the past six months, with a detailed and appropriate detail, and Su Qin also made some additional additions. Qin Mu also had a relatively detailed understanding of the current situation in his territory.

"Thank you two, it seems that the development situation in our northwest and northloulan is very gratifying." Qin Mu said with a smile at the end.

"Yes, sir, Brother Su and I think it is indeed a rare and good opportunity now, according to the current development speed. I think the economic strength of our Northwest and North Loulan can surpass the other counties in the top five in the empire in a few years." Liang Qiming also said.

"But the time waits for no one. I see that the situation around us is developing so fast. I am afraid that the peaceful situation will not last long." Qin Mu glanced at Liang Qiming indifferently and said.

"Sir, don't look at me like this. Although Liang Qiming doesn't like to start a war, as long as the war is necessary and can bring benefits, I still firmly support it. Besides, you have already made a decision. Of course, we, those who are careful of our subordinates, must firmly support and cooperate." Liang Qiming said with a hearty smile.

"Huh? Has our Director Liang changed his sexual intercourse?" Qin Mu looked at Liang Qiming with surprise.

"My lord is very serious. Liang Qiming used to oppose the launch of war at will because we were insufficient. If we fought too frequently, it would greatly consume our strength and affect our economic development. The situation this year is very different. The economy of the whole county is developing rapidly, and the finances of Tokugawa and Northwest continue to grow rapidly. Even the two counties in Longdong and Meishan have a small surplus. Now, the Taixuan Prefecture is newly acquired, which is also an economically stable area. The northwest county has laid a solid foundation and has the foundation to support a war. In addition, we have made a lot of preparations in accordance with your requirements at the beginning of the year. In addition, we have made sufficient preparations in accordance with your requirements, in addition to storing enough food, such as weapons, war horses, armor, vehicles, cloth, medicines and other military supplies." Liang Qiming turned against his previous attitude of objecting to the war.

"In addition, the situation around us is also relatively favorable. North Loulan can be ignored for the time being. Whether it is the Grand Duchy of Loulan in the south, the Indian Kingdom in the west, or the Western Regions in the north, the power of the Western Regions in the north is not yet capable of large-scale attacks. At least the time is not yet ripe. In addition to Taixuan Prefecture, we have already arranged enough responses in the northwest, and Lishan County in the north probably will not have any intention of going south for various reasons. Of course, we must also retain the necessary defensive power. As long as the war in the east is together, the empire will definitely ask us to quell the chaos, and we can enter Guanxi openly. This is indeed a rare opportunity." Liang Qiming slowly finished his opinions.

What Qin Mu admired most was Liang Qiming's point. Although he was in charge of government affairs, he also had a deep understanding of the current situation and military situation. He would not stick to the affairs he managed, but would often integrate his work into the development of the entire region, which many people could not achieve.

With a gentle applause, Qin Mu replied with a smile: "Well, it's the old saying from a few years ago. It's better to read ten years of reading when you talk to you."

Qin Mu still used the words he used when he first met Liang Qiming a few years ago to evaluate Liang Qiming, which made Liang Qiming deeply touched him, "I have been too much, so please add to the shortcomings of Brother Su."

"This fall of Jiayuguan is certainly a major threat to us, but it also has certain benefits to us in some ways." Su Qin said amazingly.

"Oh? Please tell me carefully, Mr. Su." Even Qin Mu raised his ears in surprise.

"Although Jiayuguan was firmly under the control of the empire in the past, there was still a glimmer of hope for the two northern countries. But now that the Kamans control Jiayuguan, they can naturally go in and out at will, with unlimited scenery, but for the Sisro people, they have cut off hope and the taste is a bit bitter."

"If the Sithro people nowadays want to peek at the Central Plains again, it will probably be even more difficult. To the west are the rebellious nomadic peoples on the Tengri grassland, to the east are the powerful Kaman Empire, to the north are the desolate Marston Wilderness, and to the brave and warlike Boyin barbarians. The only way out is to go south, and then Lishan County will become a must-have place, and their ambitions for Lishan County will soon be exposed, and they will be more anxious than before. Lishan County leader Li Yuancheng will not be unable to see this, and he will inevitably step up his defense against the north."
