Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2248 Enough for the Ming Empire to eat for hundreds of years

Liu Jin listened to them talking about minerals.

In his mind, he was also thinking about his own layout here.

In fact, many of the minerals here are owned by Liu Jin. For example, Daming Petroleum Company occupies the largest oil field here, which is the famous Tyumen Oil Field in later generations. Of course, it is now called Lindong Oil Field.

The oil produced by this oil field alone is very large, enough to feed the entire huge polar bear in future generations, and it is also enough to supply the entire Ming Empire in the present.

However, the current extraction volume is not large. Without oil pipelines, oil transportation is a long-standing problem, so the extraction volume is not large.

Moreover, Daming now has many oil producing areas, such as Liaodong, Northern Shaanxi, the Caspian Sea coast in the middle of the river, Golden Island, the Persian Gulf, etc., now have oil output, which can meet the demand for oil in various parts of Daming.

The oil produced here in Winter City is mainly supplied to the Western Regions, Central Asia, Hezhong, Nanyun, and Black Earth Province. The transportation mainly relies on railway transportation, and there are special trains for transporting oil.

In fact, not only oil, but also natural gas reserves are huge, but the Ming Empire has not yet used natural gas, and there is no corresponding mining and transportation related technology, so the natural gas here is still buried deep underground, waiting for future development and development. use.

Coal and iron ore are also the other two major resources here. The coal here in Winter City is very rich, enough to compare with the coal mines in Liaodong and Shanxi.

Iron ore resources are also very rich. Polar bears of later generations basically rely on the iron ore here, and the reason why they were able to persevere during World War II.

That is precisely because of the rich resources here, especially iron ore and coal resources, in places far away from the flames of war, it is possible to build steel factories to produce arms and weapons to continuously support the front line, otherwise, it would be impossible to persevere.

Coal and iron ore are now the two resources that the Ming Empire needs most.

Daming's infrastructure has been developing vigorously, and the proportion of investment in infrastructure every year is very large, and the demand for steel and cement is very large.

Daming has a large number of iron and steel factories, each of which is getting bigger and bigger, and the demand for iron ore is getting bigger and bigger.

However, the output of iron ore in Daming is actually very limited. Only a few places have iron ore output. The key is that the quality is still very average.

Tianjin Iron and Steel Works is the largest iron and steel enterprise in Ming Dynasty, and it is also an industry under Liu Jin's command. In order to ensure its own production needs, it basically sets up the steel plant in the main iron ore mining area.

For example, Liaodong mainly uses the iron ore and coal resources of Liaodong, and the branch factory in Songhu mainly uses Ma'anshan iron ore and Daye iron ore.

The branch factory in Qiongzhou mainly uses Shilu iron ore and Tiandu iron ore from Qiongzhou Island. In addition, a branch factory has been established in Australia, which mainly uses Australian iron ore.

It can be said that the local iron ore in Daming is actually very limited, and the quality is not good enough. With the development of the steel industry in Daming, the demand for iron ore is increasing, which also greatly stimulates the mining of iron ore here in Winter City.

Tianjin Iron and Steel Works owns many large iron mines here. The iron ore produced is transported by rail to the steel plant on the side of Hezhong for smelting, and the smelted steel is mainly sold to Hezhong, Western Regions, Central Asia, Black Soil, etc. province, but also exported to Persia, the Ottoman Empire and Europe.

In addition to oil, coal and iron ore, another major resource here is forest resources.

Whether it is the vast Siberian Plain or the Ural Mountains, both have extremely large forestry resources. The forests are vast, and they are all primitive cold zone coniferous forests. The amount of resources is very large. The endless Siberian Plain is a real forest.

It will take hundreds of years to cut down trees freely. If there is a planned and planned way to cut down trees, the forest resources here will never run out.

This is the treasure house of resources, with endless treasures and resources.

The polar bears of later generations rely on the resources of Siberia, and even in the most desperate times, they can still rely on selling resources to persevere, which shows how rich the resources here are.

Such a vast land, with such rich resources, is enough to feed the entire Ming Empire for hundreds of years.

Although looking at it now, the degree of resource development here is still very low, the population here is very small, and a large amount of resources are still buried deep underground.

But where the resources are placed, even if they are not exploited or utilized now, they can still be used by future generations, and they can still be exploited at that time.

As long as this piece of land is occupied, it will be allocated to your own home first, and how to mine it in the future is your own business.

"Later generations are really cheap, Maozi. At the beginning, they occupied this vast land and resources at no cost, enough for their descendants to lie on it and live a comfortable life."

Liu Jin thought of some things before his time travel, and shook his head in admiration.

Fortunately, this rich and fertile land now belongs to Daming and is part of the territory of the Ming Empire. Relying on the resources here, the children and grandchildren of Daming will be able to eat for hundreds of years in the future.

Relying on the resources here are enough to enable tens of millions of people to live a comfortable and well-off life.

Look at the people in Winter City in front of you. Although they are criminals, because of the rich resources here, they can work as miners and live a comfortable life.

The Ming dignitaries above eat meat, and these workers can drink some soup along with it, which is enough to live a well-off life of bondage.

Here, thousands of miles away from the Beijing-Tianjin area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, their income level can be comparable to that of people in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and the consumption level here is much cheaper than that in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

Because the railway connects Central Asia Province, Black Soil Province, Nanyun Province, River Central Province and Western Regions Province, the output of these provinces can also be continuously transported here.

Fruits from the Western Regions, grain from the river, beef and mutton from Central Asia, fine wine from Nanyun Province, and vegetables from the Black Earth Province, there is no shortage of these things in Winter City.

The price is also quite cheap, especially beef and mutton. The price of beef and mutton is very cheap. There are also a lot of resources in the vast grasslands and forests around the local area. Venison is also the most popular meat here.

This is actually very typical, a happy little life lying on the resources. If you have money, you can live comfortably no matter what. Besides, it is still within the scope of the Ming Empire, and this little life is even more comfortable.

Right now, Winter City and the entire Northwest Province are very sparsely populated, that is, there are more than 30 people here, while other places are uninhabited, and only a few small towns have a population of hundreds or thousands.

This population is nothing at all. In the future, it will be enough to easily support tens of millions of people, and there is huge room for development.

"Our Winter City, everything is fine, but it's too cold in winter."

"Yeah, yeah, it's too cold this winter, I can't do anything."

"Aren't you stupid? Isn't it better to be cold this winter? It's not good to sleep at home with your girls in your arms every day. Does it have to be like a year-round exhaustion?"

"Haha, if you say it like this, it's true. I'll go to the slave market to buy some more women later on. In a few months, winter will come. At that time, I can make people at home."

"Haha, can you do it, look at your small body, don't die on a woman's belly then."

"Go, go, I can't do it. There are seven women in my family, and I have more than a dozen children. You think I can't do it?"

"It's you, boy. There are several women in the family, but they just don't give birth. Do you think it's because you can't do it yourself? I know an old doctor. Would you like to take you to see it?"

"Who says I can't do it anymore? I don't want to see any doctors. I think children are too annoying, so I don't want so many. I have a few sons."

"Ha ha!"

The people around heard the two big men's blushing, and couldn't help laughing immediately.

For them, when they were sentenced to exile here at first, they were scared to death, full of fear, for fear that their noses, ears, etc. would be frozen off after arriving here, or they would be frozen to death here.

But after I actually came here, I realized that the small life here is actually good. After getting used to it, I am not happy to ask them to go back, I am not willing.

Liu Jin drank tea and laughed as he listened to their talk.

The ordinary people of Ming Dynasty now have a pretty good life.
