Survival of the Chongzhen Emperor Chapter 593 Petroleum and rubber are the future? Daming's development of the central and western regions counts on these two industries!
Chapter 593 Petroleum and rubber are the future? Daming's development of the central and western regions counts on these two industries!
"Your Majesty, the world is uncertain now. At this time, we are considering the management of the mountainside and allocating financial resources to these places. Is it a bit too hasty? The money that needs to be spent in these places has been lost. Do you want to consider holding off for a while?"
Wu Sheng did not comment on the emperor's opinions at the meeting. After the meeting, he met the emperor specifically and expressed his thoughts!
The emperor is a good emperor, but now that the situation has improved, he seems to have committed the same shortcomings of greed for full credit and fiery personality in the early days of his rule a few years ago! Can the face of the mountainous area be changed so easily? Wu Sheng was once the governor of Shanxi, and he was right
The situation in the Taihang Mountains is still well understood. How much money and energy it would take to make that place similar to that of the plains, Wu Sheng himself could not imagine. Let alone now, even if the world is peaceful, the government's finances will be very low.
Unbearable to live in.
"I am clear about what the bachelor said. In this world, no one knows better than me how much energy it takes to change the situation in the mountainside area, and how much financial and material resources the entire country needs to spend. I also know that now
For example, how immature the conditions are for doing this! But in the past three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, troubles on the mountainside have always existed. Isn't there a good time for the court? When the finances are good, no one is wary of danger in times of peace, and the finances are not good.
When times are good, but we have no ability, when will the troubles on the mountainside be solved? Considering this, I believe that no matter whether the financial situation and the situation are good or bad, I have to advance the matter of solving the difficulties on the mountainside, and then I will count from now on.
Only if generations of people have worked hard for a long time can the mountainside problems of the Ming Dynasty be cured."
Zhu Youjian said that he understood the difficulty of eradicating the problem on the mountainside, and he was really not just talking nonsense. In the later generations before he traveled through time, he had been solving this problem for a long time. What was done and how much it cost,
He has seen the effects of solving this problem. With the production conditions of later generations, it will be very difficult to solve this problem, let alone now? But there is one thing he can be sure of. As long as he puts in a lot of effort and determination, he will be able to solve this problem in twenty or thirty years.
With hard work, the situation will always change for the better.
"I know that your Majesty is putting great effort into ensuring peace for all eternity, but he is unable to do so. I would like to advise your Majesty to think twice before taking any action!"
"This thing must be done. The only thing that needs to be chosen is the method and method, and at the same time, the strength must be balanced! You can neither be immobile nor overly concerned! In fact, the most difficult thing about being a king and governing is to grasp the degree! Know how
It is not difficult to do the right thing, but it is difficult to grasp the balance of things and move things forward on a regular basis. Rest assured, bachelor, I still understand the priorities and the general direction for the time being."
"Your Majesty's deep thoughts on the way to govern the country are beyond the reach of any of my ministers. As long as your Majesty's mind is clear, my mind will be at ease, and I will act vigorously and resolutely for the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty."
"For the time being, the Taihang and Luxi areas will be classified as mountainside areas that are key to improvement. After the liberation of northern Shaanxi, they will also be included! In my lifetime, I will fight against these three mountainside areas first. Take a look.
Will it take ten or twenty years to achieve some results? In fact, Taihang and northern Shaanxi are not without resources. There is coal and iron in the Taihang Mountains, more coal in Yulinwei in northern Shaanxi, and even better treasures in the Yanqing area.
As long as we make good use of these, the difficulty of changing these places will be greatly reduced. I still have the same idea, industry is the most important starting point, we must use this as a breakthrough, rather than doing it haphazardly! Break the surface with small points, and make small gains.
Dacheng is the foundation of governing the country."
Are there better treasures in the Yanqing area? Wu Sheng was confused by the emperor's words! He was also full of curiosity. Throughout the ages, I have only heard about barren places, but never heard about any treasures in Yanqing? Could it be Yanqing?
Is there a gold mine in the area like Daning?
The development of Daning was much easier because of its reputation as a gold mine! If there were gold and silver mines in northern Shaanxi, Daming would be lucky!
Where did the gold and silver mines in northern Shaanxi come from? But nowhere is there a more important resource than gold and silver mines - oil! In the memory of later generations, among the domestic oil producing areas, the Yanqing Oil Mine is the shallowest large-scale oil mine! At present,
In terms of conditions, it is most likely to be possible to dig oil from the Yanqing area. I heard that some people have dug out oil in the Yanqing area. With some effort, we should be able to get some large-scale oil wells.
of!
In recent years, kerosene smelting technology has been accumulated to a certain extent. It should not be difficult to extract usable oil from petroleum. Gasoline and diesel cannot be refined, but crude oil can be refined! Judging from the oil yield rate
That said, it is a little higher than coal tar.
Oil and rubber should be the resources that we should attach great importance to in the next step! The development of any place in northern Shaanxi must also rely on oil. As for rubber, in fact, the Ming Dynasty also has corresponding alternative resources. Which area in the western desert has a kind of dandelion?
The grass can produce rubber, and the Eucommia trees in the Central Plains can also produce glue with properties similar to rubber.
tomato
From this point of view, the development of the Central Plains, northern Shaanxi, Hexi and the Western Regions can be combined with new technologies and industries. Now it depends on whether the technology can keep up.
"Ask the attendants to write a document for the uterine delivery system and ask them to collect more Eucommia gum from the Central Plains area in the future. Remember to collect as much as they can. At the same time, write a document to the cabinet and ask them to inform the recovered areas of the Central Plains that all Eucommia gum is available.
The trees must be strictly protected, and the local government must organize people to plant more Eucommia trees. As long as the gum produced by the Eucommia trees will be harvested by the palace, it will definitely not affect the income of farmers and the government." Now that the direction of industrial development has been thought of.
, Zhu Youjian decided to quickly start accumulating technology and production capacity.
As for oil, it will not be too late to make arrangements after the liberation of northern Shaanxi, but not for Eucommia gum. There is no accumulation of this thing now, and it is really impossible to keep up if we don't pay close attention. The first thing to solve is to remove Eucommia gum.
The technology for converting it into a rubbery state has been completed. It is difficult to say that it is difficult, but it is easy to say that it is easy. Anyway, it is something that can be done in a high-temperature and high-pressure chemical tower. If you find more raw materials and do a few more years of experiments, it should be possible.
It can be done. After the technical research is completed, it will not work without production capacity reserves. After all, it is something that grows from the ground. When it comes to use, it will be really difficult to grow usable trees for a while. So from now on.
, the protection and planting of Eucommia trees, as well as the acquisition of industrial chains must be planned in advance.
Somehow, Zhu Youjian felt as if God had blessed the Ming Dynasty! The most troublesome area seemed to have specially reserved resources that could be used. Making good use of these resources to prosper the Ming Dynasty and allow the balanced development of all parts of the Ming Dynasty was actually not a problem.
