Chapter 1204 Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?
Although Li Sheng doesn't know much about the petrochemical field, he also knows that this thing... This thing is first of all a kind of mineral. Secondly...
The second is the current situation of Datang.
On the one hand, Goguryeo was conquered because Goguryeo was so powerful recently and colluded with Rome, which was intolerable.
The second reason is because Goguryeo also acquired oil fields!
What a joke, there are so many oil fields in the Tang Dynasty and none have been found yet, but one has been found in Goguryeo.
Wouldn't this be a slap in His Majesty's face?
Of course, for Li Sheng, it is enough to slap His Majesty in the face. However, Datang's oil field has quietly used a lot of manpower and material resources, but it has never been found... The oil currently used in internal combustion engines is still in the southeast area.
Found somewhere...
In other words, in fact, when the internal combustion engine ships in Hangzhou first went to sea, they actually still needed sails, or used large sailboats as tugboats to take the internal combustion engine ships to Southeast Bay for oiling before they could start on their own.
The location of the southeast corner is not ideal, because it is a tropical place. The characteristics of the tropics are frequent storms. It is not easy to operate a merchant ship, and transporting kerosene... this is too risky for maritime merchants.
And the imperial court forcibly paid the merchants to transport the oil, and the cost of the oil was too high, so there were problems no matter what.
then……
Needless to say, Goguryeo’s oil fields naturally became popular.
And now...
Rather than saying that Li Sheng came up with this strategy temporarily, it is better to say that in the beginning... Li Sheng came to participate in this expedition because he came to the oil fields. At this moment, when Li Sheng said it, Li Xiaogong and others couldn't help but reveal their secrets.
There were expressions of astonishment, and then they looked at each other...
It is certainly unrealistic to directly ask the court to pay people to come.
Because the reality...the reality is that the agricultural conditions in this place are not bad, and in the future it will be operated in the direction of a granary area - it does not mean that cold places cannot become food and grass, such as Eastern Europe in later generations!
And for this reason... of course it is impossible to subsidize food in places where agricultural conditions are not bad - this is complete nonsense.
The essential problem of this matter is still that Li Xiaogong has been thinking about it over and over, and he doesn't know how to let the people know that this place is really fertile land for thousands of miles, and it is the best fertile land where prostitution can be done for free.
But Li Sheng's idea was simply earth-shattering to everyone's ears.
"This...isn't this killing two birds with one stone??"
Li Xiaogong couldn't believe it, because he did what Li Sheng said...
Then Datang not only needs an additional grain-producing area, but also an additional oil field...
At this moment, Li Xiaogong and others only had two words in their minds.
Damn it!
Li Sheng not only settled the immigration matter at hand, but also solved another matter incidentally.
This is simply...
For a moment, even Li Xiaogong couldn't help but think of all kinds of anecdotes circulating in Chang'an. For example, the holy prince of the Tang Dynasty descended from the stars and was reincarnated... Originally, it was impossible for Li Xiaogong to believe this, but
At this moment, I couldn't help but feel really shaken.
What if it is true? No, this may not be possible...
After thinking about it like this, neither Li Xiaogong nor Changsun Wuji can find anything wrong - in fact, now, His Majesty has issued an edict stating that those who find oil fields will be heavily rewarded, such as oil fields
If the location is their own farmland, the imperial court is willing to buy it at three times the price.
Of course, the actual price of oil fields is far higher than that of farmland. The reason why we only give three times the price to redeem farmland is because we don’t want to encourage speculation. Even so, more and more people are talking about oil fields, and farmers, businessmen, and farmers are talking about it.
People often report this to the state government, but so far it is all false news.
However, fake news is not the point. The point is that people pay attention to this matter and want to make a fortune.
And using this as a clue to lead people to settle here must be a brilliant idea.
Li Sheng smiled and said nothing.
This method was used by the United States when it was engaged in the development of the western region. Are we talking about it everywhere?
As for how many oil fields there are actually in this black soil, this is a question that goes without saying. Li Sheng’s blind guess is... actually there are not many. An oil field discovered by Goguryeo, I previously guessed it was the legendary oil field, but
It has been found out now that it is not.
So if such a small oil field has been discovered, it is estimated that there will only be one chance to find the "legendary oil field" in the future. People who move here will not have much chance to make a fortune. But... this is not a key benefit in the first place.
The key benefit, to put it bluntly, is the extremely high agricultural value of the black soil here.
In addition to the imported part, the top luxury rice of later generations comes from Hainan Island, and the other comes from here. After all, this place... is not that bitter and cold.
In addition, as long as Silla can be captured, the black land will gain an additional longer coastline, and commerce will also prosper. With the agricultural and commercial elements in place, the remaining issues will naturally be easy to solve...
But in Li Sheng's opinion, this place has another advantage... He just thought about it but didn't say it out loud.
Changsun Wuji seemed to have noticed the subtle change in Li Sheng's expression, but he hesitated to speak. He thought about it but did not ask. But on this day, the big plan was finally decided.
Moved to Xianbei, moved Han people, and mixed the same ethnic group.
Complete their food and clothing, and get rid of all their vulgarities!
However, after talking like this, Changle became a little curious about Li Sheng's last expression, and couldn't help but quietly came over...
"I don't know if there is anything that the Holy Marquis has not yet understood, why don't you tell me?"
Changle was still very curious about the things that his brother would struggle with.
When she asked this question, Li Sheng did not hide it and said directly...
"The black land is not the entire Mobei. Going east from here can greatly shorten the journey to America..."
Li Sheng was actually not sure, but since he was asked this, he still said, "And... although this period needs to be verified, it is said... that there seems to be a land route to America from the black land to the northeast.
If that's the case, on a large scale... forget it, let's talk about the uncertain things later."
At this time, the meeting in the royal court has been concluded, and all levels of the Imperial Guard of the Tang Dynasty have begun to get busy again. It is obviously a busy winter.
As soon as Li Sheng said this, Changle stood in the sea of people, but he couldn't remember the place name of "America"... He only felt that he had vaguely heard it somewhere.
In the end, he had no choice but to shake his head and let it go.
After all... true peace is not victory, but stability. Victory means that one of the conflicting parties has won, but... the conflict that broke out is not necessarily a fundamental conflict.
