A few days later, when the Ming Dynasty Ganqing Palace arrived, Zhu Youjian received a new report, saying that the one million taels of silver donated by the prefect of Li Weixian from the southern capital was counted and pressed into the inner treasury. The young emperor was so confused.

As soon as this batch of silver was set off from the southern capital, the local Jinyiwei had already arrived at the capital to report the news, and even marked the source of the silver all from overseas treasures auctioned by the prefect Li and his party.

But Zhu Youjian still couldn't believe that he was just willful. If you brag for me, I will give you a place to complete the bragging task and improve a prefect. This will really get one million taels??

Are you not using money for money?

Wanwan has not been developed by the Ming Dynasty at this moment. It is a place outside the world. Such a place is even more remote and backward than Qiongzhou and is a barren land. But can this be exchanged for one million taels? Or is it the first deal?

After putting down the memorial in his hand, Zhu Youjian looked at Wang Chengen curiously, "What did the aide Li Weixian recruited in Nandu say? What did he want?"

Wang Chengen said decisively, "Go back to the emperor, the prefect Li wanted oil, which was mentioned in the Mengxi poem written by Shenkuo of Song Dynasty. It looked like a stinky and smelly. It was also called stinky water, which could be ignited and burned. The scholar Tian said that the prefect Li needed this oil to be used as fuel to urge the ships they made overseas."

Zhu Youjian looked dull, "Isn't the ship made of wood? Do you still need burning oil to burn?"

He knew that lamp oil was burned to light, and it was considered fuel, but it was a ship... oil?

After a moment of confusion, he shook his head and flew away the idea. Zhu Youjian asked curiously, "Where is the Ming Dynasty where I have oil?"

Wang Chengen, "That Tian Xiucai said that the easiest area to collect oil is the area in Yanchang, Shaanxi and other places. Some areas can be collected on the surface. In most areas, you only need to dig the ground to find it in a few dozen steps deep and transport it in iron barrels. However, if Shaanxi is too far away, there are also Le'an County, Shandong. However, the oil in Le'an County may have to dig four or five hundred steps deep to find this oil."

Zhu Youjian was stunned for a while before speaking, "This million taels of silver is just a request for me to give them the right to collect oil. From now on, according to the iron barrel standards provided by Li Weixian, one bucket of ten taels?"

"Go and bring the iron bucket they prepared. I want to see how big this bucket is!"

After a while, when the young emperor really saw the oil barrel, he was shocked again, "So small?"

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

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

But don’t forget that prices and the world’s environment are different!

As long as they had enough crude oil and robbed the charts of Western colonists, a large cruise ship with a displacement of 50,000 tons would be a sea giant and an invincible fleet, and they would run much faster than sailing ships. Even if they used iron tools from the Ming Dynasty to install some corners and other things, they would be invincible in the 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 days. As long as there are enough raw materials and at the speed of modern cruises, how many days can it take to go from Fengwang to Manila?

After getting the diesel, I can still live a nightlife by relying on several diesel generators on the cruise ship.

After this foundation was established, Li Weixian also won the title of prefect. No matter how he immigrated and managed it in Wanwan, it was legitimate and they would grow rapidly.

So in Zhu Youjian's opinion, such a cheap oil price is definitely a great profit.

He had heard that if you dig out those places, they would be almost like springs waiting for the oil you made. They were buried under the earth and waiting for abandoned things, and they could still be sold for money?

After being shocked, Zhu Youjian said excitedly, "Immediately, I have passed the order to Sun Chuanting. He is already the governor of Shaanxi. Yanchang is under his rule. Isn't training recruits without money? As long as he digs out oil, he will not be short of money."

"Le'an also needs to do it, and prepare for both hands. In addition, send Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei to secretly enter the bend. I want to know as soon as possible why their ships need fuel. Can they burn on the wooden boats at will??"

The two locations of extension and Le'an provided by Li Weixian are of course not just mentioned the county name. Which county is not small, and it is difficult to find if you don't know the exact location.

He provided a roughly detailed address. There was a worker from an oil field from eight or nine hundred guests on the cruise ship. He was a technical job and the information was exposed.

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

There are more than a thousand people, and there are computers and other equipment on the cruise ship. Some of the information they store is, many people may not have stored some modern knowledge materials in their mobile phones. It is really not difficult for them to develop the base when they set up a base.

At present, the group travelers are looking for information and pondering in detail how to standardize the crude diesel.

For Li Weixian and others, oil is supreme wealth, but for Zhu Youjian, this is also a free wealth. I haven't heard of it for thousands of years. What's the use of those things? If you dig it out from the ground, you can exchange money like food?

Nowadays, when countless people in Shaanxi are hungry and have to rebel, as long as you have something to exchange for money, if you can exchange money for food, are you afraid that you will not be able to find someone to dig for oil to transport oil?

At this moment, the young emperor thought of another thing, "The one million taels that were put into the warehouse were allocated to Sun Qing 600,000 to let him preside over his work-for-relief strategy. Sun Qing wrote a letter to pacify Shaanxi. Although the suppression is important, the most fundamental thing is to let the people have enough food."

"He said in his memorial that in the past, the Song Dynasty often used labor-for-relief methods to make the people afford to eat by selling labor. Now that Liao pay is gone, this move should be used to greatly alleviate the intensity of civil rebellion in Shaanxi."

More than two years ago, a thief in Shaanxi, Wang Er-class launched a civil war to poison all directions. Gao Yingxiang rebelled last year, and Li Zicheng rebelled this year. But now in November of the second year of Chongzhen, the various civil wars there were still no big news. Especially in the early civil wars, the people rebelled with hoes or wooden sticks.

As long as there is enough food, there is great hope of completely pacifying it, and with enough money, it means food.

Zhu Youjian is not yet a qualified ruler, but after several immortal kings mentioned it, he learned that Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and others were all great talents. After Sun Chuanting took office in Shaanxi, the first memorial mentioned labor-for-relief, and also listed examples from the former Song Dynasty.

In the data, there were a total of thousands of major natural disasters in the former Song Dynasty, with an average of two or three times a year. Floods, droughts, rain and hail disasters, wind disasters, locust plagues, etc., relying on a mature disaster relief system. What the former Song Dynasty only sustained was not natural disasters.

Zhu Youjian felt that what Sun Chuanting said was very reasonable. Now that he has money, he can still have new channels for selling oil to make money, so he cannot miss it.
