Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 325 Reserves are too small

"What does the prince mean, the liquid you extracted from the Hedong district government is more useful than coal?"

On the second day, Li Shimin summoned Li Fu into the palace to ask about the oil. Li Fu had no choice but to tell the truth, but Li Shimin didn't believe it.

After all, in Li Shimin's eyes, there is no comparison between coal and oil, especially when Li Fu said that liquid is better than solid coal and is the best fuel, Li Shimin scoffed at this in his heart, and made Li Fu very angry Enough.

【Stupid, Li Er, this old man, doesn't seem to have broadened his horizons much. He's just a frog squatting at the mouth of a larger well. To put it bluntly, he's still a frog at the bottom of the well! 】

[With oil, labor and capital can recreate cars, and the whole Tang Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes! 】

[With cars, tanks can be made, and even airplanes can be made. At that time, there will be airplanes in the sky and tanks on the ground. Whoever dares to compete with my Tang Dynasty will just bulldoze him! 】

[Scene of carpet bombing by aircraft...Scene of countless tanks pushing...]

[With oil, my ocean liner can go farther, and going to the American continent is no longer a dream! 】

[The American Continent is a good place where gold and silver are really everywhere, even copper mines are everywhere. When my ocean-going ship lands on the American Continent, everything will be mine! 】

Li Shimin was listening to Li Fu's heartfelt voice at this moment, and seeing the picture of Jinshan Yinhai, as well as the scenes of cars, tanks, planes and ocean-going ships conceived in his mind, he couldn't help but his blood surged up, his whole body was shaking and he was about to fall backwards .

[Fuck, what's going on? ] Li Fu almost exclaimed, strode forward, and supported Li Shimin who was about to fall.

"Come here, imperial doctor, send the imperial doctor!" Li Fu yelled, but fortunately Li Shimin was already waking up in his arms.

After the imperial physician rushed over to give Li Shimin an injection to alleviate the pain, Li Shimin was fine, and waved his hand to signal the imperial physician to step back.

Li Fu looked at Li Shimin with trepidation, and didn't understand why Li Shimin still didn't let him leave. He was really under too much pressure to stay in front of Li Shimin now, and this kind of fainting at every turn was really frightening to watch.

Li Shimin was a little absent-minded at the moment, he was really frightened by the scene Li Fu described just now.

Iron boxes that can run several times faster than horses, tanks that are countless times more powerful than chariots, fire-breathing tanks, giant sea ships that can travel across oceans, and airplanes that fly freely in the sky...

And on the American continent, there are mountains of gold nuggets, silver ingots, and countless copper mines. All these scenes make Li Shimin intoxicated, addicted, and even crazy.

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't say a word for a long time, Li Fu thought that Li Shimin was still thinking about the question just now, so he quickly explained.

"Father, in fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, the role of coal is greater than that of oil, there is no doubt about it!"

[Forget it, it's pointless to entangle Li Er about oil at this time, it's impossible for him to figure out the reasoning behind it. 】

[Li Er is getting old, and he can't bear to be a dead end. I really want to toss him out. I'm not ready to be emperor now. He should be emperor for a few more years! 】

Li Shimin was speechless, he was not as fragile as Li Fu said, but he really didn't understand the cars Li Fu said.

But Li Shimin will not pretend to understand, and he knows how to delegate power, and he is not even ashamed to ask his subordinates.

"Prince, I want to see the effect of oil with my own eyes." Li Shimin said to Li Fu with a solemn expression.

"Father, please wait a moment. My son will let someone go back and pick it up!" Li Fu agreed without hesitation, and Li Shimin let him see it if he wanted to. Anyway, he might not know anything if he saw it.

Under Li Fu's arrangement, Cao Shaoqin quickly moved the tank of oil into the palace.

Then Li Fu poured out a small part of the oil in front of Li Shimin, and poured a line on the marble floor, and then ignited it with a torch.

There was only a bang, and the oil on the ground exploded instantly. Li Shimin's eyes widened when he saw the liquid burn into flames.

Even if he had been prepared, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.

That kind of water with a pungent smell can actually burn, this is really beyond Li Shimin's expectation!
"Hedong District Government, the oil field you mentioned can produce such water. Does that mean that this kind of water will be used in a large scale in Datang soon?" Li Shimin suddenly asked a question.

Li Shimin used to be a general. From the combustion characteristics of oil, he easily discovered that if oil is used in siege, it will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

According to what Li Shimin just saw, he could already imagine that if a large amount of oil was thrown onto the enemy's tower and then set off to ignite it, the entire city would immediately turn into a sea of ​​flames, and then the enemy's city would be captured without any effort!

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more excited he became, and he immediately told Li Fu about his thoughts.

But Li Fu couldn't help but purse his lips when he heard Li Shimin's words.

[Li Er's fortune is in this era, if it is placed in later generations, it will be an imperialist leader, a natural killing machine! 】

【The purpose of labor and management to produce oil is to speed up the industrial development of Datang, but he is lucky, all he thinks about is war! 】

[But let’s not say it, Li Er’s idea is really good, but it’s a bit wasteful, and it’s too cruel! 】

Hearing what Li Fu said, Li Shimin suddenly became more confident in his thoughts just now. As for Li Fu's saying that he was cruel, he directly ignored it.

On the battlefield, kindness does not control soldiers, as long as it can kill the enemy army to the greatest extent and save one's own people, it is worth using any means.

"Prince, when will the oil in the Hedong district government be able to be mass-produced?" Li Shimin was a little excited. He couldn't wait to use the oil in the military, and even planned to use Gaochang for experiments in the next year!

"Father, I'm afraid this matter has to be discussed in the long term. The oil production of the Hedong District Government has been found to be insufficient for mass production and development!"

Li Fu said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Besides, the refining speed of oil is too slow now. It took a full month to refine this tank of oil, so..."

Before Li Fu finished speaking, Li Shimin sighed quietly. He could hear from Li Fu's heart that Li Fu had not lied, and that such a refining speed would be a bit reluctant to apply it to military affairs.

[Li Erye is really thinking about it, he doesn't know how precious oil is now, and how wasteful it is to use it in the military! 】

[Petroleum is something that shouldn't exist in today's Tang Dynasty. With today's refining speed, he can already laugh secretly. He doesn't even think about it, who can eat a fat man in one bite! 】

[Besides, I said it was so clear. Doesn’t he understand that the oil reserves of the Hedong District Government are too low. If you want to get more and better quality oil, you have to recruit. After all, the oil in our Datang territory is really reserves too little! 】
