Survival of the Chongzhen Emperor Chapter 660 After three to five years, oil from northern Shaanxi will replace kerosene and be sold all over the world!
Chapter 660 After three to five years, oil from northern Shaanxi will replace kerosene and be sold all over the world!
In the eighth month of the lunar calendar, Liu Lishun led a team of more than 200 people, including guards, to Yan'an Fucheng.
"Yuting, I didn't expect that we could work together in Shaanxi again. We are so destined." Seeing Li Yuting, Liu Lishun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He is really too young. The 20-year-old Zhengyin prefect, in the entire history of the Ming Dynasty,
I'm afraid there are none.
Now this young man has become the world-famous prefect of Yan'an. The emperor had a special interview when he left Beijing. It can be said that Jane is in the emperor's heart, and his future future is even more unlimited. Comparing people to others is so annoying. After all, Liu Lishun was born as a scholar, and he is almost 20 years old.
He is 20 years old, and now he is a governor. Look at the achievements of others at the age of 20, and then look at yourself, you are really nothing.
In the past, people often said that the background of Jinshi was the most upright, but now, Liu Lishun felt that Li Yuting's background in the uterine delivery system might be more reliable than that of college students. It is not impossible for this young man to join the cabinet in the future.
"When Xiaguan was in Liaodong, the governor gave you a lot of guidance and care. After arriving in Shaanxi, I was lucky enough to serve under your command. I hope you can bear the fault of Xiaguan's work and take care of my work in Yan'an Mansion." As an official, he said.
The ability to speak politely is a must. When Li Yuting was in Liaodong, he had only seen Liu Lishun a few times and had Mao Yasu to care for and teach him.
"It's not easy for me to come to Yan'an this time. It's because Mr. Song Ge was considerate of our situation in central Shaanxi that he made it possible for me to make the trip. In the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have such a long-term overseas tour in the short term. For this reason
, Yuting, you have to tell me more about the major events you are currently experiencing. First, let’s talk about your oil well development! I heard that oil has already been produced? "
Liu Lishun's tour was specially arranged by Song Yingsheng. The work of the office was coming to an end. Huang Degong and Song Yingsheng, who were sent from Beijing, were about to withdraw. Song Yingsheng wanted to let Liu Lishun take advantage of someone to take charge of the overall situation in Chang'an City and quickly move all Shaanxi provinces to the city.
The government must be transferred once, otherwise when he and others leave, Liu Lishun, as the single chief officer, will be basically tied to death in Chang'an City, making it difficult to move.
"Governor, the oil has already come out!"
"How's the oil production? Can it be used at the maximum capacity?"
"Currently, the daily production of crude oil is about 500 shi (barrels). After being refined into oil, it is about 300 shi. According to estimates by Xiaguan and others, it is possible to produce about 200,000 shi per year in the future.
.”
"According to this estimate, the oil production will provide your Yan'an government with more than one million taels of revenue every year, and your government's fiscal and tax revenue from it will be as huge as two to three hundred thousand. With this income, the government will have a lot more money.
, the people's surplus wealth will also be very abundant. The situation in Yan'an will be greatly improved, which is really a matter of congratulations." The first priority in governing Shaanxi is northern Shaanxi. If northern Shaanxi is stable, the whole of Shaanxi will be stable. After hearing the good news reported by Li Yuting
, Liu Lishun felt much better.
"It should be said that it can be developed according to the vision of His Majesty and the imperial court. However, due to incomplete technology and equipment, there have been many production accidents and the damage to the people has been somewhat serious."
"During this period, many people were killed or injured?"
“Nearly 200 people were killed or injured in the oil refinery, and over 100 people were killed in armed fighting over the rights to exploit oil wells.”
"Yuting, you should pay more attention to this matter and find ways to reduce the casualty rate. We have to produce oil, but the casualties of the people should not be too high. Apart from this, what other concerns are there when developing the oil industry?"
"Right now, it's mainly about roads. It's more difficult to transport oil from abroad, the profit will be much smaller, and the competitiveness will be much weaker compared with kerosene. Also, the scale of the refinery is too small, and we need to build a large-scale one.
A larger oil refinery. It is best for our Shaanxi government to take the lead in running this oil refinery, lest the oil industry relies too heavily on the palace property system. The governor should know about the situation in Yan'an. There is not much private capital available, and you may need to trouble the governor.
Providing convenience in Chang'an and Guanzhong areas."
"If you don't mention these two things, I will say it. The imperial court has made plans to build a high-standard north-south official road between the naturalized people and Chang'an. His Majesty said that after the oil production in Yan'an
, there are many residues. This road will be designed according to the asphalt road. A gravel road will be built first and then gradually paved with oil. In the second half of the year, survey and design will be carried out. It will be officially constructed at the beginning of next year. The paving of the gravel road will be completed within three to four years.
Work, the paving project of the road from Yan'an to Chang'an can be started in one piece. It is best to open an oil road to Chang'an within five years.
In addition, we need to design a railway that will be integrated into Chang'an. The construction of the railway may be slower, and it will not start until about three years later.
The imperial court asked our local yamen to repair the official roads connecting the prefectures and counties accordingly according to the specific financial situation. This is a transportation arrangement! As for the preparation of the oil refinery, the Yan'an Prefecture should first make a budget and plan, and wait for me
After completing the inspection and returning to Chang'an, we arranged to raise financing. The Royal Bank has communicated with me that they have a special interest-free loan budget to support the construction of northern Shaanxi, and we can win the project to build a large refinery in Yan'an.
.”
As soon as Liu Lishun finished speaking, Li Yuting hurriedly thanked him. The governor had decided on what he was most looking forward to as soon as he came, which was really timely. Moreover, the planning plan brought by the governor was much more ambitious than he expected.
His original idea was to build a standard official road to Chang'an City, which would be fine. Unexpectedly, the plan above was to build a super official road directly from Guihua to Chang'an City that ran from north to south. It would lead to Chang'an.
City, we also need to contact foreign countries, which is a big deal. In three years, we will start the railway construction in northern Shaanxi, and within five years, we will pave the official road from Yan'an to Chang'an, which is even more generous among the big things.
The construction of an oil road connecting Yan'an and Chang'an within five years is a project that Zhu Youjian paid special attention to. This oil road is the longest oil road planned and launched in Ming Dynasty so far. There are many reasons for this decision
Yes, a high-standard oil road from Yan'an to Chang'an is indeed needed to speed up the pace of improving the local traffic environment. Oil is also produced here in Yan'an, and the cost of oil paving will be lower than in other places. More importantly, it can be improved at this stage
The added output value of Yan'an's oil industry makes Shaanbei Oil, which has inconvenient transportation, more competitiveness.
The asphalt used for road construction must not be used in vain. The project party has to pay the refinery. By selling asphalt, the refinery will make more profit than simply selling refined oil. They can also appropriately reduce the ex-factory price of refined oil.
This makes the oil produced in northern Shaanxi more easily accepted by consumers.
Although the cost of petroleum refining is lower than that of coal tar refining, the traffic environment in northern Shaanxi is too unfavorable. The oil currently produced is only competitive in nearby areas. If the distance is slightly longer, it will be equivalent to kerosene. A little lower
The lower the cost, the more oil they produce from northern Shaanxi.
