Chapter 691 Use human life to pile it up? This kind of courage is beyond my brother's reach!
After communicating with Wang Tianqi, Li Yuting was not in a hurry to return to Yan'an. He went to inspect the oil refining and oil production sites before embarking on his return trip.
Nowadays, apart from oil extraction and road construction, Yan'an Prefecture does not have much to worry about. At first, the imperial court thought that the suppression of bandits in this area would be a troublesome task. But since the oil was extracted, the gangsters in the whole government have actually
He disappeared. It seemed that everyone was busy digging oil wells, and no one thought about becoming bandits or rebelling.
As the saying goes, one white hides all ugliness, and here in Yan'an Prefecture, one black hides all ugliness. Although the oil industry has just begun to show its prowess, its driving role in the entire Yan'an Prefecture and even northern Shaanxi has already appeared. In Yan'an Prefecture, now
You can see a large number of oil dealers coming to sell oil all day long. There are three or four times more restaurants and hotels in the city than at the beginning of the liberation.
Walking on the streets of Fucheng, there is an endless stream of oil trucks transporting oil. People are coming and going on the streets, and it is very lively. Some people say that it is half as prosperous as Chang'an City. In addition to restaurants and hotels, there are many other businesses on the streets.
There are many more shops than before the restoration. There are many goods coming from all over the place.
People who make a living by selling oil and working on oil wells make a lot of money, and when they have money, they will naturally consume it. People who come to sell oil will naturally bring some goods as it is not cost-effective to come with empty trucks.
As time went by, Yan'an Prefecture's business became prosperous.
The commodity that Li Yuting is most concerned about is grain. According to rough statistics, from last year to now, the grain that has entered Yan'an Prefecture through private and commercial channels has amounted to almost 200,000 shi.
Now the population of Yan'an Prefecture is less than 300,000, and 200,000 shi of commercial grains have poured in, which is equivalent to an increase of seven to eight liters of food for each person in the prefecture. Coupled with the grain transferred in from the imperial court, Yan'an Prefecture has
It can basically solve the people's food ration problem.
The biggest benefit brought by the petroleum industry is the large amount of people's grain imported into the country. In terms of finance, the role of the petroleum industry is also obvious. This year, the government collected almost 200,000 taels of silver dollars in taxes, including from oil refineries and oil wells.
The fiscal and tax revenue collected amounted to 120,000 taels, and the fiscal and tax revenue contributed by the oil industry accounted for more than 60% of the government's total revenue.
The fiscal and tax revenue of two hundred thousand taels is not worth mentioning in a wealthy government, but in Yan'an Prefecture, the meaning is different. This is the harvest when agricultural taxes are exempted (after the liberation of Sichuan and Shaanxi, northern Shaanxi was excluded)
Other regions are exempted from agricultural tax for one year, and northern Shaanxi is exempted from agricultural tax for three years). It should not be difficult for the government's fiscal and tax revenue to reach 300,000 yuan in the future.
The imperial court's policy for northern Shaanxi and the Taihang Mountains is that all finances and taxes are temporarily only supervised and not collected. In other words, all the income of 200,000 taels of silver dollars will be retained in Yan'an Prefecture. In addition to the army, the total number of public officials to be supported by the government
In other words, there are less than 3,000 people. After calculating wages and daily expenses, there is still more money to spend.
With a normal financial balance, you can borrow money from banks and use it for infrastructure projects. On the way back to Fucheng, what Li Yuting has been thinking about is building roads. The road invested by the imperial court is Daguan Road, which leads to various counties and
At this stage, the province and the government must resolve the road problems in the townships themselves. After returning, we must negotiate the loan with the bank as soon as possible. It is best to start some preliminary work this winter.
As soon as I entered the city, I met the fast horse from the magistrate's office. I stopped him and asked, and found out that he was delivering a message to me. There was a guest in the mansion, and it was none other than Li Yuting's old boss, Dong Liming, the current prefect of Qingyang.
The two are now working in a neighboring government, but they are from two provinces. However, the emperor specifically told them that they should communicate with each other and support each other at work, so the relationship is very complicated.
"Prefect, you came without notifying me in advance. Fortunately, I arrived in Fucheng today, otherwise you would have had to wait another day or two." Rushing to the government office, Li Yuting and Dong Liming started to greet each other politely.
"It doesn't matter, I don't have much time to do in your city. I can just take a closer look at the development of Yan'an Prefecture. Dear brother, your achievements in the past year are remarkable. When I arrived in Yan'an Prefecture, some of them entered Chang'an City.
"Feeling." Dong Liming was also talking nonsense. He had never been to Chang'an City. When he took office, he entered northern Shaanxi from Shanxi. Now Qingyang is not from Shaanxi, so there is no chance for him to go to Chang'an. But this guy is from Gansu.
I have never been to the provincial capital, and the distance between Lanzhou and Qingyang is also very far. It takes about 20 days to go back and forth, so under normal circumstances it is inconceivable.
"Where, where, it will only take less than two years from Yuting to Yan'an.
, Hundreds of wastes are waiting to be revitalized, all things are at their beginning, how can we talk about achievements!"
"Brother, please don't be humble. If you continue to be humble, how can Brother Fool still open his mouth to learn from the teachings? The two of us came to our posts at the same time. When we left, the Holy Spirit gave us instructions to arrest the oil industry when we arrived. But you see
Look, in more than a year, the oil production in Yan'an Prefecture has begun to take shape. But Brother Yu, nothing has been accomplished yet. Now, I want Brother Yu to teach you how to produce oil as soon as possible.
The industry is on track."
Dong Liming was forced by Li Yuting's pace of development. The two prefectures are adjacent to each other. Dong Liming is generally aware of the situation in Yan'an Prefecture. It's so irritating that people are so popular. Oil wells in Yan'an have blossomed everywhere, but he is in Qingyang Prefecture.
, nothing has been accomplished. Less than ten oil wells have been dug, and the most important thing is that the oil production rate is still low. Not to mention the refinery, it is still not functioning properly and is still in the experimental stage.
"I did this by chance. I don't know how to teach the prefect?" Li Yuting's current political status is higher than Dong Liming, so he is very taboo about calling Dong Liming his brother.
"Why did your refinery come into operation faster than mine? Could it be that the people sent by the uterine labor system use better technology than mine?" It doesn't matter if you can't dig many oil wells, the refinery is not powerful enough.
Dong Liming even felt that the uterine delivery system deliberately tricked him.
"This is helpless to say the least. Does the prefect know how many people have died in my Yan'an Prefecture over the past year or so because of oil refining?"
"Dead people? How many are there?"
"Nearly two thousand. There have been more than a dozen explosions in the factory alone. There have been six accidents with more than 100 casualties, and countless accidents with minor casualties. For the Yan'an Refinery to be as advanced as it is now, it is said that it is a waste of human lives.
It’s not an exaggeration at all. Fortunately, we have figured out some ways now, and there have been a lot fewer production accidents in recent months.”
"I see. Brother Xian, the risks you took are really big. You can't have this courage as a brother." When he heard that nearly two thousand people died, Dong Liming couldn't help but be speechless. Such a large number of casualties can be compared to a battle.
There was a war. No wonder the oil refining industry in Yan'an Prefecture was able to get on track so quickly! When Dong Liming heard that there were casualties, he immediately discussed it with the people in charge of the palace, and figured out the technology first before talking about expanding production. He didn't dare to get started quickly.
