Villager of Daming

Chapter 801 Oil Exchange Industrial Site

The librarian fumbled for a piece of paper and pulled it out. He remembered its location and knew exactly which piece it was.

The lamp he gave was a gasoline lamp, which was much brighter than diesel and kerosene. It was suitable for use in street lamps, otherwise the gasoline would not be used up. Without an internal combustion engine, it could only be used as a cleaning agent and thinner. Of course, a blowtorch would also work.

"Your Majesty, there is too much gasoline in reserve. Although the distilled proportion is smaller than diesel, it is more than kerosene. It is not a problem to keep it forever.

We can install glass lanterns on the road, send people to climb up and light them when it gets dark, and then put them out when it gets light.

It is brighter than other oils and is not as bright as a light bulb. Depending on the wattage of the light bulb, it will illuminate the imperial city, including the village.

The whole of Nanjing uses electric lights, which requires a lot of copper wires. At the same time, our generator has low power and is difficult to control. "

Li Chang said with a nonchalant expression, as if he was very casual, but in fact he was very excited and the things he prepared came in handy.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the diagram on the paper, nodded with satisfaction, and handed it to the minister next to him: "We don't understand. Since it can be built over there, there is indeed too much gasoline."

"Your Majesty, we should sell the kerosene lamps to the barbarians, and then sell them the oil and let them exchange it for oil. They can get it.

When they send more oil, we can use it for the people. In the future, we will need a lot of gasoline and diesel to make internal combustion engines.

At that time, the steam engine that could replace farmland was smaller and more powerful, and they were willing to trade it ten to one. "

The village chief took the opportunity to say what he had mentioned before. At present, the people of Ming Dynasty insist on selling good things to the barbarians first.

Replacing Yiren Petroleum with diesel is brighter than burning petroleum directly. The key is that there is less smoke and pungent smell.

Those kings, chiefs, and religious leaders will like it, symbolizing status.

"It's done! I've done everything this year and tried to make 2000 million yuan. When winter comes, I can use clam oil for the people.

We have discovered that the best uses of petroleum are lighting and skin care. Asphalt is waterproof and is good for the construction of silos.

Plastics can now be made. Thanks to the efforts of the village, technology can really change lives. That fishing net does not require three days of fishing and two days of drying. "

Zhu Yuanzhang is now most interested in craftsmanship. Technology can increase field production and enable soldiers to win battles.

Who would have thought that black oil could produce so many good things?

Hu Weiyong: "..."

He found that he had no sense of existence again. He finally said a word, but Zhu Lichang showed his face. How many things were in his arms?
The people in Nanjing did not know that there would be street lights at night. They carried lanterns to watch the excitement. There were various performances on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

The only drawback is the cold. The temperature tonight is four degrees above zero. By midnight, it will probably reach zero degrees.

If this temperature jumped to the current Qinhuai River, people would not be able to endure it for long because their body temperature would be lost too quickly.

From time to time, cheers came from the shore. Looking at the location, it was obvious that some masters of the lantern riddle guessing team had received rewards, usually lanterns, but also money and things.

"Our team will go over to guess the lantern riddles. Can we solve all the lantern riddles?"

Zhu Yuanzhang yearned for it in his heart, but he could only watch others play, which was very regrettable.

The chief agreed: "That's definitely the case."

He knew that if Hanhan took action, others would not be able to play with him.

"Leave it to them! There's still some time until midnight. If you're not busy going downstream, we're going to set off water lanterns and fireworks. Let's go upstream and see the factory area."

Zhu Yuanzhang decided to go upstream. The river there was wide and large boats could be used. The factory area was on the east bank of the Qinhuai River, which flows from north to south.So the fleet began to turn around and swim against the current amidst the hum of steam engines.

The common people on the shore and the painted boats, flower boats, and other boats in the river had already seen this team and did not dare to approach. The ones with a large number of steam engines must be from the royal family.

What's more, those with good eyesight can see the signs on the flags and lanterns, and there are special electric lights on the ship.

As the team sailed along, there were also painted boats on the road. The steam engine ship ran over and told them to get out of the way and stop moving.

It didn't take long before everyone saw the bright lights there. There were more lights in the factory area and there were electric lights. They needed a good lighting environment.

Some of the electric lamps were exposed, very bright, white light.

Some are put into lanterns of different colors. Around the house and even on the shore, the location of the Qinhuai River, which flows from east to west, is even better than before.

Hu Weiyong looked at it and suddenly thought of the cost: "It will cost a lot of money at once, right?"

"It's just coal to burn. This makes people feel at ease. How can the industrial area be worse than other places? They are all good craftsmen."

The director does not consider the money issue, he looks at it from another perspective.

The best craftsmen are concentrated here. Is it okay if the house is not built well?Is it okay to have problems with open drains and underground ditches?Looking at the lanterns, there are all kinds of revolving lanterns, and there are several revolving lanterns.

It is so easy for the craftsmen to make this thing. They ensure that they are careful in making it. The key is to use public materials and not spend their own money.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked through the telescope while waiting for the ship to dock: "Is this time to eat? It's also dumplings, glutinous rice balls, and stir-fried vegetables in a big pot. The craftsman's hands are so dexterous. Oops, that little baby fell down and the lamp didn't let go. ,Ha ha ha ha……"

He saw a little baby falling down while carrying a lantern and laughed happily.

The child was too young, about two years old, and was not afraid of falling at all, but he couldn't get up from lying there because his little hands were holding on to the lantern stick and he couldn't exert force.

Two more similar babies came next to her and helped her hold the lantern first. Then she got up. They patted each other's dust with their two little hands, took the lantern, and continued running on her calves.

Others on the boat also laughed when they saw it, and they also knew that the living standards of the craftsmen’s families in the industrial area had improved a lot.

The children are clean, especially their faces and hair. They have tangled horns on their heads and earmuffs on their ears. The nails on their little hands are still red, obviously dyed deliberately, and their eyebrows are a little red.

"Only when craftsmen have no worries can they do their jobs better. Their children must be educated well."

Liu Bowen could see what was beneath the surface. In the future, schools would be run here to teach other people skills, and the children would have to learn more knowledge.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "There's still one and a half hours left, let's go up and have a look."

Others naturally supported it. Everyone went ashore, and people from the industrial zone went to call for people, calling for 'leaders', such as Wang Yiqian.

A group of people came over. Before they got close, someone told them not to kneel. The ground was dirty. This was a cement floor, which was easy to clean and clean. It was high in hardness and could transport heavy things.

Everyone bowed and greeted, Wang Yiqian stood at the front. He is currently the general person in charge, because he can be trusted.

"You haven't eaten yet?" Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back and asked as he walked.

"I'll eat two meals today. I've been eating too much meat recently. Children and the elderly will eat three meals. Those of us who work normally eat at four o'clock in the afternoon. Now is the right time to eat.

In fact, the canteen is run by our family members. You can eat at any time. There are noodles and steamed rice. It’s good to have noodles or fried rice!
Now that the weather is cold, the big pot of stewed food can be left for a while, covered with a lid, and it will not get cold, so it can be scooped out and eaten just right. "

Wang Yiqian replied that the food at the construction site was too much to eat.
