808 fuel economy
There are more than 10,000 trees in the two southern oil phoebe forests, equivalent to 30% of the total number of oil phoebe found so far. Nowadays, the demand for tree oil is increasing. There is no more oil nan, now it is good, it is directly less than 30%. You don't need to ask, it must be the remnants of the tribe.
When Su Naijing came over, he was always worried about Li You's condemnation. Now they all know the importance of oil phoebe, but now they have been burned in the woods by a big fire. The fire has not been extinguished until now. It is really difficult to explain. But Li You also understands that this is inevitable. The woods are guarded, but it is not the rainy season and the rainfall is relatively low. If you really take the opportunity to set a fire on the periphery, the fire will probably only be extinguished after the rain.
Li You sighed and said: "Oh! Forget it, you can try to ensure that the personnel are not injured. When the fire is extinguished, you must complete the clean-up and I will send people over when the time comes."
Seeing that Li You didn't blame him, Su Naijing was relieved. He didn't wait much, and then left. He still needs to go back and inform Wu Zhi Changxin, so that he can also be relieved.
Su Naijing is gone, but Li You is a little annoyed. Today's tree oil lamps are snapped up. Regardless of the high prices, the sales have been increasing dramatically. But those who are rich will definitely use this, too. It is true that this glass lamp has many advantages, not only is it brighter, but also has a particularly exquisite appearance.
Lamps can be manufactured in large quantities, but this lamp oil is a troublesome thing. Now it is enough. According to the current trend, I am afraid that in one or two years, there will be a shortage of tree oil. There are only two solutions. It is to find more phoebe, and use oil to replace the other. There is no other way.
An oil-producing area that has been discovered so far is in demand, and the oil production there is not high, and this oil-producing area has already been used. Two dry distillation workshops have been established near the oil pond for refining. Fierce kerosene, the current stock of kerosene oil is all produced by demand. But the output here is very low, and there is no way to meet the oil supply.
Petroleum is a very special substance. It contains too many good things. It can't be effectively refined with the current original technology. It can only produce some fierce oil and some asphalt. As for other things, the same Can't stay. To solve production capacity, there is only one way to find a large amount of oil.
Thinking of this, Li You got a headache. After a long sigh of relief, he didn't think about it anymore. Anyway, there are still a lot of phoebe trees. It is estimated that there are still a lot of phoebe trees on some islands. As long as they can be found, in a short time There will be no oil shortage.
In April of the following year, the six months of exploration on the islands finally came to fruition. You did find a lot of phoebe, but the total number is not very much. Li You can do very few things, except for sending people to places with relatively large numbers of trees. After garrisoning and extracting, the rest is transplanting. Several plantations have been established outside the northeast of the city, but the growth of Phoebe is too slow. If you want to use it, you don’t know if you have to wait thirty or forty years, so , The fundamental problem is actually unsolved, but Li You has no choice about it. He has already sent an order to start the search for phoebe trees in Siam City. Anyway, the territory here is huge, so how much should it be? Can find some, after all, the entire South Asia is now a country.
In July, Xiao Qixue gave birth and gave Li You a daughter. Li You was happy, but Xiao Qixue frowned. She wanted a son.
In the inner court of the palace, in Xiao Qixue’s residence, Li You holding her little daughter looked at Xiao Qixue with a displeased face and said, "I know what you think, but I can’t blame you for this. Your boss is not happy. What can you do? If you really want a son, it’s a big deal, I’ll work harder. You have to stay in a happy mood now, you see how cute your daughter is."
Xiao Qixue pursed her lips and said, "You like your daughter, husband, but no matter how good your daughter is, you will always marry when you grow up, and you're not a son."
"I said Xue'er, it's not good. What's wrong with having a daughter?" As soon as Li You said this, Xiao Qixue pulled the quilt up and covered her face.
"Oh! Xue'er, then you should rest first and see you later." Seeing Xiao Qixue like this, Li You knew that she had to give her some time.
As soon as Li You came out, he happened to see Li Ruoyun entering the palace to see Xiao Qixue, so he approached Li and said: "Princess Lao has come to see Xue'er."
After a salute, Li Ruoyun said: "Why the Lord should be so polite, she should have come to see her."
"Princess, this girl gave birth to a daughter, and she was unwilling. If I knew she would listen to you, Princess Lau helped me persuade her. After all, she is not a good thing to herself."
Li Ruoyun nodded, and then went to Xiao Qixuena.
In the study of the palace's back hall, not long after Li You came back, the maid came to report: "Your Majesty, Cabinet Minister Pan Yao, please see me."
Pan Yao was the former general manager of the City Lord’s Mansion, and he was very capable. When the cabinet was formed, Li You made him a cabinet minister, specifically in charge of foreign trade.
"You bring him here."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After a while, Pan Yao went to the study and knelt down for a week and said: "See your majesty."
"Get up, what are you doing here?"
Pan Yao got up and said: "Your Majesty, recently, Silla, Tianzhu and Datang all have ships arriving at the port. In addition to spices and other items, they also want a lot of tree oil. From the minister's point of view, this item should be banned for sale. Yes, last time the Japanese country used this oil to burn down a large number of ships of the other side in the war with Silla. Once they used it for military purposes, it would inevitably lead to insufficient domestic demand for oil."
Li You didn't ask other questions, but said: "Should Datang use tree oil as fierce fire oil, right?"
Pan Yao nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Datang merchants buy oil. It is estimated that they are not using tree oil for other purposes, but for fuel. But their demand is too great. If we do not refuse, this tree I am afraid that even the Datang family cannot be satisfied with oil. After all, most of the oil lamps we produce are sold to Datang."
"Well, let's sell it first, and wait for other governor districts to survey the jurisdiction before deciding whether to reduce the supply."
"Yes, the minister resigned."
For Li You, this thing is not daring to stop. Once stopped, many industries will be affected. Besides, this money is easy to make. The profit is so large that it is impossible not to make money. In addition, nowadays, new constructions are being built everywhere. It's like running water, making money is the top priority. If you want the country to be rich, he has to be willing to spend money.
In September, Li You went to Bolingbang, the capital of the country where the original Buddha passed away, because in his jurisdiction, he found three nanchu forests suitable for harvesting. The total amount is still a lot, more than 20,000 adult trees. This is considered basic. The problem is solved. After receiving the news, Li You went to check it in person, because this was indeed good news. (End of this chapter)
