I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 688: wind vane

The internal combustion engine has been developed, and large-scale oil exploration has been put on the agenda.

At present, Dahua already has small-scale oil exploration, and the oil is used in many places, the most important is to refine kerosene for lighting.

Even with such a small use, the current oil extraction has been unable to keep up with market demand.

When the internal combustion engine is put into use in the future, the oil gap will directly soar.

In order to prevent the machine from running out of fuel in the future, Wu Changqing arranged several oil exploration teams to explore the oil in North China.

In fact, this is also very good for exploration, just go directly to the places where the surface oil is exposed.

It can directly emerge from the surface, indicating that there must be a lot of oil reserves in this place, and it is easy to extract.

Compared to reserves, easy mining is the key at this time.

If oil is stored tens of meters or hundreds of meters below the surface, it is useless even if it is explored, and there is no mining technology.

Wu Changqing remembered that there was oil in North China.

Some of Dahua’s current oil also comes from North China.

Daqing Oilfield and some oilfields in Xinjiang may be more famous and have more reserves, but they are not suitable for exploitation at present.

The main problem is transportation. North China will be able to pass trains in the next one or two years.

But the train to Xinjiang, to the northeast, and to Daqing, I don't know when and how long it will be.

It is impossible to dig out the oil and transport it in a wheelbarrow. The cost would be too high, and it is estimated that not many people can use it.

Transportation cost, this is also an issue that has to be considered.

If a large oil tanker can be built and the transportation capacity is up, then it is the most cost-effective choice to directly occupy the Middle East.

Wu Changqing is a weather vane, and countless people in the world are staring at his every move.

After all, his every move is destined to have a major impact.

When Wu Changqing set up a new internal combustion engine project team, many big businessmen who received the news began to make arrangements.

On the one hand, it cultivates relevant talents, and on the other hand, studies the possible changes brought about by internal combustion engines and the fields where internal combustion engines are applicable.

As long as the game is set up in advance, the future will be able to occupy a little advantage in this field, and the benefits will be immeasurable.

Just like the Shen family of Dahua now, when Dahua started to develop steam engines, their family spent a lot of money to study relevant knowledge and cultivate relevant talents.

Today, their family is the only private company that can manufacture steam engines besides the official.

Although the performance of the steam engine they built was much worse than the official one, they still made a lot of money.

At present, there is almost no upper limit on the demand for steam engines in all walks of life, and the official steam engines have to be given priority to the military and state-owned enterprises.

Private enterprises have to queue up if they want to buy steam engines.

In some fields, the requirements for steam engines are actually not high, and it is not necessary to achieve the power.

The needs of these people can be met by the Shen family.

And the demand of these people is often greater than that of the military and state-owned enterprises combined, so the Shen family's orders are also scheduled for the next year.

With such a forward-looking strategic vision, the Shen family became one of the top giants of Dahua in one fell swoop.

Moreover, his wealthy family is not like the Chen family and the Tong family, relying on the royal family to develop.

The Shen family, it really depends on their own development, others have to give a thumbs up when they talk about the Shen family.

Seeing the success of the Shen family, some other wealthy people began to research and invest in steam engines.

However, they are a step slower after all.

Although I will definitely be able to drink soup in the future, it is still a step behind to compete with the Shen family.

Therefore, some powerful rich men are staring at the official, staring at Wu Changqing's actions, hoping to obtain similar opportunities.

There are still many business opportunities of this kind, such as the rubber field and the fertilizer field.

As long as they are willing to specialize in research, they can get some business opportunities.

When Wu Changqing specially convened a group of people to work on the internal combustion engine project, some people with a keen sense of smell realized that the prospect of this thing was probably not lower than that of a steam engine.

That being the case, what are you waiting for? The sooner you enter the venue, the more hopeful you will become the next Shen family.

From Wu Changqing, many business opportunities can actually be obtained.

Just like he sent an oil exploration team, many people also smelled an opportunity from it.

Anyway, they all believe in a law, that is, what Wu Changqing personally pays attention to. It must not be a trivial matter, it must be of great significance.

Wu Changqing sent someone to explore for oil, which shows that Dahua will be short of oil in the future.

Otherwise, how could the emperor, who is full of abilities, have been full of food, and deliberately paid attention to this bit of trouble.

Knowing this business opportunity, some people hurriedly sent people to explore quietly, preparing to buy the oil at a low price, and then lie down to make money, just like those coal mine owners.

The group of upstarts in Huainan is really greedy.

Because Dahua has not promulgated relevant laws for the time being, the minerals found on private land are currently private and only need to pay a very high tax when mining.

But even so, this kind of direct money mining industry is much easier than other production industries.

At present, Dahua has many big wealthy people who are making arrangements, quietly sending some people to the countryside and mountainous areas to find mines.

If you find it, you spend money to buy it, and then apply for mining.

With the extraction of various minerals, the value of those worthless things has skyrocketed overnight, making many people unable to understand the world.

After he was busy with development, Wu Changqing had to read the memorial when he returned to the palace.

Excluding the many benefits of being an emperor, being an emperor is actually quite tiring. It's far better than being a carefree dude who doesn't have to do anything every day, just enjoy it.

In the midst of the memorial, Wu Changqing once again saw his proposal for an all-world draft.

"These people, thinking about finding me a woman all day?"

Wu Changqing spit out.

"This is the filial piety of the courtiers. Your majesty's harem really needs to be enriched. Throughout the ages, no emperor has done so much for his majesty, and enjoyment is a matter of course."

Feng Debao also followed suit.

On this issue, he and the civil official group have common interest demands, and both require Wu Changqing to devote more time to enjoyment, so that they have the opportunity to share some of the power in Wu Changqing's hands.

"That's true. Fortunately, after suffering for so long, it's time to enjoy it."

Wu Changqing said.

It is a man's instinct to like the new and dislike the old. There has been no new face in the palace for a long time. It is good to choose a few beauties to seductively.

However, Wu Changqing did not intend to directly agree to the civil minister's request in this way.

Since the civil servants have such demands, wouldn't it be too wasteful not to use them?
