Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 114 180 million taels of silver

"It's 1:13 in the afternoon."

Under Chen Fan's explanation, Chongzhen soon knew how to tell the time.

Chongzhen was greatly moved in his heart. This was so convenient!

Just look at your watch and you know the time.

It is accurate and convenient.

It is indeed something brought over from Huaguo.

Thinking about it, he had to know what time it was before, and he had to ask the little eunuch in the palace who was in charge of it.

Not only is the trouble not mentioned.

The point is that it is not yet accurate, I can only say an approximate time.

If you are out of the palace and want to know the time, you can only roughly judge the time by the position of the sun in the sky.

If it is cloudy and rainy, the sun will not be seen.

Then the eyes will be blackened.

Well now, with this Rolex watch, he can always know the time.

Chongzhen thought happily in his heart.

Seeing that Chongzhen was almost done playing, Chen Fan got down to business.

"I introduced oil to my eldest brother last time. I must have some understanding of it, right?"

Chongzhen put his watch on and nodded with a smile.

"Last time, my brother said that oil is a good thing, as much as there is in Ming Dynasty, so I asked someone to check it, and found that oil appeared in several places in Ming Dynasty!"

The last time Chongzhen heard from Brother Xian said that this oil is a treasure in Huaguo, and he can sell all of Daming's oil to Huaguo.

When he heard this, Chongzhen was very excited.

This oil is useless to Daming, something no one wants to give away.

Unexpectedly, it can be sold for silver.

To know.

According to the reports of the following people, a large amount of oil was discovered in Binzhou, Shandong, and it is inexhaustible oil.

With so much oil, I wonder how much money it can be sold for?
Should be a lot, right?
Chongzhen pondered in his heart.

Chen Fan smiled lightly.

"When I went back last time, Huaguo had already negotiated to help Daming exploit oil and sell it to Huaguo."

"My dear brother, I wonder how much silver this oil can be sold for?"

Chongzhen asked the question he was most concerned about.

Chen Fan chuckled, ready to make a fool of himself.

"Brother, guess what, how much oil can be sold for a year's worth of oil?"

Chongzhen shook his head in doubt, he really didn't know this.

"180 million taels of silver!"

"How many?"

Chongzhen's shocked voice was an octave higher.

"180 taels!"

Chen Fan repeated it again.

"so much?"

Chongzhen's whole person was in shock.

He never expected that this useless sticky black water would be so valuable.

180 million taels of silver a year.

You know, Daming currently only collects 500 million taels of tax from the common people every year.

Among them, the salt tax is less than 100 million taels of silver.

In other words.

The income from selling oil alone is much more than the salt tax.

thought here.

The expressions on Chongzhen's face were extremely rich.

How is this oil so useless?

It is clearly a steady stream of money.

With the unexpected joy of oil, Daming's finances will be much richer every year.

Seeing Chongzhen immersed in a sweet dream, Chen Fan decided to add some more surprises.

"Brother, since this is the first time we have cooperated, we are not yet familiar with it, so the mining equipment provided by Huaguo to Daming is not large in scale, with a daily oil production capacity of 10 barrels."

"Brother, do you know what it means?"

Chongzhen shook his head in confusion.

Although he didn't know the concept of 10 barrels of oil per day.

But it doesn't matter.

It is enough for him to know that this oil can bring 180 million taels of silver to Ming Dynasty a year.

Chen Fan coughed and said solemnly:
"With a daily production of 10 barrels of oil, the annual income is 180 million taels of silver."

"It's just because of inexperience. After a year or two, everyone is familiar with oil exploration, and Huaguo will help Daming to develop oil on a large scale."

Chongzhen's eyes lit up when he heard the large scale.

The scale of 10 barrels of oil per day is 180 million taels of silver.

According to Brother Xian, this scale is not worth mentioning.

I really don't know how big the Xiandi is talking about?

How much money will it bring to Daming?
Chongzhen looked at Chen Fan with an expectant expression on his face.

Chen Fan made some calculations in his heart.

China currently imports 1000 million barrels of oil per day.

If Huaguo helps Daming develop oil on a large scale, it should be able to produce 1000 million barrels per day.

"In terms of large-scale oil extraction, the daily output is at least 1000 million barrels."

"In other words, oil alone can bring 18000 million taels of silver to Ming Dynasty every year."

"What? Is this true?"

Chongzhen seemed to have heard something about the Arabian Nights.

With a bang, he stood up excitedly from the dragon chair.

He looked at Chen Fan with a horrified expression on his face.

18000 million taels per year?

God!

What is this concept?
Chongzhen was short of breath, looking incredible.

is this real?
Looking at the expression on Chongzhen's face, Chen Fan was very pleased.

With such a big temptation, there must be no problem with oil extraction!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Fan decided to add fuel to the fire, and said:

"The 18000 million taels is just the mining situation in the first two years. According to Huaguo's plan, after five or six years, when the conditions are ripe, it will help Daming fully develop mineral resources."

"At that time, all kinds of metal ores will be mined and sold to China."

"At that time, Daming's annual fiscal revenue was at least 180 million taels of silver."

Hearing this, Chongzhen was completely frightened, with a horrified expression on his face.

His legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground.

If it weren't for Wang Chengen who was on the side with quick eyesight and quick hands, he would have supported Chongzhen in time.

I am afraid that Chongzhen has collapsed to the ground at this time.

In fact, let alone Chongzhen.

Even Wang Chengen was shocked in his heart.

180 million taels of silver!
I'm a darling!
What kind of concept is this, no matter how hard Wang Chengen thinks about it, he can't think of it.

With Wang Chengen's support, Chongzhen sat back on the dragon chair.

He was afraid that too much stimulation would make him unable to stand.

Chongzhen supported the edge of the dragon chair with both hands, and fell into deep thought.

Chen Fan saw that Chongzhen's expression was shocked for a while, excited for a while, and trembling all over again.

Chen Fan and Wang Chengen looked at each other, and they could see deep worry in each other's eyes.

Your Majesty is not too stimulated, is he crazy?

After more than ten minutes, Chongzhen recovered from his mad state.

"Brother, is what you said true? Can you have a financial income of 180 million taels a year?"

Chongzhen's expression was serious, with a hint of nervousness.

I'm afraid my younger brother is joking with him.

Chen Fan knew what answer Chongzhen wanted to hear, so he nodded vigorously, and said solemnly:

"Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to my brother!"

Hearing Brother Xian's affirmative answer, Chongzhen took a deep breath, relaxed his whole body, and lay down on the dragon chair relaxedly.

It's really good!
It's really good!
