A few days later, the Emperor Qianqing Palace of the Ming Dynasty waited for Zhu Youjian to receive a new report saying that it was 1 million taels of silver donated by the prefect of Li Weixian from the southern capital. It has been counted and pressed into the inner warehouse. Imperial Capital is stunned.

This batch of silver has just set off from the southern capital, and the local Bright Gown Guard has rushed to the capital to report the news, and even marked the source of the silver, which was all the overseas treasures auctioned by Li Zhifu and his party.

But Zhu Youjian still can’t believe that he is only self-willed. If you brag to me, I will give you a position for you to complete the bossing task. It’s a way to promote a prefect. Got 1 million taels? ?

Are you not using money for money?

Wanwan hasn’t been developed by Daming at this moment. It belongs to the land outside of Hua. Such a place is even more remote and backward than Qiongzhou. It is a barren land, but this can be exchanged for 1 million taels? Or the first one?

Putting down the memorial, Zhu Youjian looked towards Wang Chengen curiously, “What did the staff recruited by Li Weixian in Southern Capital say? What does he want?”

Wang Chengen is decisive Said, “Back to the emperor, the prefect Li wanted oil, the oil mentioned in the Mengxi pen talks by Song Shenkuo. It looks like a glutinous, very smelly, and it is also called stone fat water, which can be ignited and burned. Xiucai said that Prefect Li needs this oil to use it as fuel to spur the ships they built overseas.”

Zhu Youjian looked dumbfounded, “Isn’t the ship made of wood? It also needs burning oil? Do burning?”

He knows that kerosene is burned to illuminate. It is considered fuel, but can ship…oil?

For a moment, shaking his head and flying away the thought, Zhu Youjian asked curiously, “Where do I have oil in Ming Dynasty?”

Wang Chengen, “That Tian Xiucai said that the easiest areas to collect oil are Shaanxi Yanchang and other places. Some areas can be collected on the surface, and most areas can be found by digging a few dozen steps deep and transported in iron drums. If it is too far to transport in Shaanxi, it will also be found in Le’an County in Shandong. However, the oil in Le’an County may have to be dug four or five hundred steps deep to find the oil.”

Zhu Youjian was confused again for a while. He said, “These 1 million silver taels, but they asked me to give them the right to collect oil. From now on, according to the standard of iron barrels provided by Li Weixian, ten taels per barrel?”

“Go get them ready. I want to see how big this barrel is!” After some time, when the young emperor really saw the oil barrel, he was shocked again, “So small?”

Li Weixian and the others provided iron barrels filled with crude oil, which is one cubic meter, and six or seven barrels filled with one ton of crude oil.

It seems that the price is not low, 70 silver taels a barrel of crude oil? ?

Don’t forget that prices and world environment are bad!

As long as they have enough crude oil to grab the charts of the Western colonists, then a large cruise ship with a displacement of 50,000 tons is the Hegemon at sea. The invincible fleet runs much faster than the sailing ship, even if it is used The ironware of the Ming Dynasty was equipped with some corners and so on, which were all invincible in the whole world.

In this era, how many gold and silver ships are there on the ocean?

Spain’s gold and silver ships are still running happily these years. As long as there are enough raw materials, at the speed of modern cruise ships, how many days can it take from Wanwansha to Manila?

After making diesel, relying on several diesel generators on the cruise ship, you can still live a nightlife.

This foundation is established, and Li Weixian has also received the title of prefect, so no matter how to manage and develop immigration in Wanwan, it is justified and they will grow rapidly.

So in Zhu Youzhen’s view, such a cheap oil price is definitely a great value.

He also heard that those places you just need to dig out, almost like spring water, waiting for you to get oil continuously. They are all buried under the ground waiting to be discarded, but they can still be sold for money? ?

After the shock, Zhu Youjian said excitedly, “Ma sent an decree to Sun Chuanting. He is already governor of Shaanxi, and the extension is under his control. Don’t you have money to train new recruits? As long as he digs up oil, You won’t be short of money.”

“Le’an has to do it with both hands. In addition, Paidongchang Fanzi and Bright Gown Guard are secretly entering the bend. I want to know as soon as possible. Why does the ship need fuel? Can a wooden ship be burned casually?”

The two locations provided by Li Weixian, Yanchang and Le’an, of course do not end with just the name of the county, and no county is too small. , You don’t know the exact location is hard to find.

He provided a rough and detailed address. Among the eight or nine hundred guests on the cruise ship, there was a worker from an oil field. He was still a technical job.

Sometimes there are many people, which is a kind of wealth in itself.

More than a thousand people, there are also computers and other equipment on the cruise ship, and some of the information is stored, that is, many people’s mobile phones may not have some modern knowledge materials, etc., the base is established, they think Development is really not difficult.

At present, the group wearers are already looking for information and deliberating in detail how to standardize the crude diesel.

For Li Weixian and the others, oil is Supreme wealth, but for Zhu Youjian, it is also a wealth of nothing. I haven’t heard of it for thousands of years. What is the significance of those things? Used, can be exchanged for money like food when dug out from the ground?

In recent years, when countless people in Shaanxi were unable to eat and were hungry and had to rebel, as long as you have something to exchange for money, and you can exchange money for food, are you afraid that there will be no one to dig for oil?

At this moment, the young emperor thought of another thing, “The 1 million in the treasury will be allocated to Sun Qing 600,000, so that he can well preside over his work-for-work strategy. Sun Qing wrote a letter to pacify Shaanxi. Although it is important to suppress Shaanxi, the most fundamental thing is to let the people eat.”

“In his memorial, he said that the former Song Dynasty often used work-for-work when disasters occurred. The way the people can afford to eat by working hard, now that there is no Liao pay, coupled with this move, should greatly alleviate the intensity of the civil unrest in Shaanxi.”

More than two years ago, Shaanxi had a second-class king. The thieves have moved the people to poison the Quartet. Gao Yingxiang reversed last year, and Li Zicheng reversed this year. But now it’s only November in Chongzhen, and the various civil revolts there are not big enough, especially the Early-Stage civil rebellion. The common people rebelled with hoe or stick.

As long as there is enough food, there is a great hope to completely calm down, and enough silver, it represents food.

Zhu Youjian is still not a qualified ruler, but after a few Immortal Monarch points, he learned that Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and the others are all great talents, and Sun Chuanting is the number one ruler after taking office in Shaanxi. The memorial mentioned the work-for-relief, and also cited the example of the former Song Dynasty.

In the data, there were a total of thousands of major natural disasters in the former Song Dynasty, two or three times a year on average. Floods, droughts, rain and hail disasters, wind disasters, locust plagues, etc. rely on a mature disaster relief system. It was not because of natural disasters that Song Cai survived.

Zhu Youjian thinks what Sun Chuanting said is very reasonable. Now that we have money, there are new channels for selling oil, so I can’t miss it.
