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

Chapter 106 Promoting Education and Cultivating Talents

"50 yuan for a barrel?"

According to the information Chen Fan read on the Internet, the current international oil price is about 500 yuan per barrel.

50 yuan a barrel?
That's a tenfold drop in price.

This is too cruel!

Looking at Gao Guoqiang who was not blushing and heartbeating, Chen Fan couldn't help complaining.

"Uncle Gao, your price is too low!"

Gao Guoqiang shook his head.

"It's not too low! This is also a price given after considering all the circumstances."

"A bucket of 50, 10 barrels per day, converted into Daming silver is 5000 taels of silver per day, 15 taels of silver a month, and 180 million taels of silver a year."

"Compared to Daming's current fiscal revenue of several million taels a year, 180 million taels this year is quite a lot."

"Besides, this is just the beginning. After Daming has rich experience, it will be able to expand production on a large scale."

"At that time, Daming will be selling oil, and its annual financial revenue will easily exceed [-] million taels of silver."

Chen Fan complained speechlessly in his heart, you should tell Chongzhen about these big cakes, tell me what you are doing.

Daming's large-scale oil exploration did not know that it would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

"Uncle Gao, add more to the price? With such a low price, Uncle Gao, aren't you bullying Chongzhen for not knowing the market? It's not kind!"

Gao Guoqiang raised his head and glanced at Chen Fan, and said displeasedly:
"You boy, which side are you standing on? Why are you pulling your elbows out?"

"You are not in charge of the family, and you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Which project does the country develop without money?"

"Besides, this oil is useless to Ming Dynasty. I think Chongzhen would be extremely happy to be able to sell these useless things at a high price of 180 million taels of silver every year."

Hearing Gao Guoqiang talked about this, Chen Fan sighed heavily, what else could he say!

Forget it, earn less and earn less!
As a contribution to the country.

"Uncle Gao, when will oil be drilled in Daming?"

Gao Guoqiang thought for a while and said:
"Already arranging people to prepare, it is estimated that within a few days, the equipment and other facilities will be ready."

As for the preparations for oil exploitation in Daming, the higher-ups have already arranged personnel to make plans.

In addition to preparing mechanical equipment with a daily output of 10 barrels of oil.

It is also planning to build a small power plant in Daming.

After all, the normal operation of the oil plant is not possible without electricity.

"Uncle Gao, are these equipments given to Daming for free, or..."

Chen Fan asked casually.

"What do you say?"

Gao Guoqiang asked back.

Looking at Gao Guoqiang's slightly condensed expression, Chen Fan asked tentatively:

"Charges?"

"Of course. After all, the cost of these equipment is not low, so naturally it is impossible to give it to Daming for nothing."

Gao Guoqiang had a natural expression.

He also hoped that the Ming Dynasty would develop mineral resources on a large scale and bring big orders to China's machinery manufacturing industry!
"Furthermore, Chongzhen confiscated 7000 million taels of silver, isn't there still 3000 million taels? More than enough to buy these mechanical equipment."

Hearing this, Chen Fan couldn't laugh or cry.

You are thinking about Chongzhen's small treasury!

Even how much silver Chongzhen still has is clearly remembered.

But when it comes to silver, Chen Fan remembered that 4000 million taels of silver had been transported from Daming to the modern world.

Chen Fan asked curiously:
"Uncle Gao, from Daming to get so much silver to modern times, will there be a surplus of silver? The price has plummeted?"

"Do you know how much silver there is in the world now?"

Chen Fan shook his head, he didn't usually pay attention to this news.

Gao Guoqiang said a number that surprised Chen Fan.

"The current total value of silver in the world is 10 trillion."

Chen Fan exclaimed.

"so much?"

Gao Guoqiang explained with a chuckle:
"So, do you still think that the 400 billion worth of silver you brought back from Daming is still more?"

Gao Guoqiang shook his head and continued:

"It's not much at all. Just throwing this money into the global market won't make a splash."

At present, the silver on the market is mainly used as industrial silver, which is consumed every year.

and so.

As for the tens of billions of silver that Chen Fan brought back from Daming, even if it was ten or a hundred times more, the modern world would be able to digest it.

Don't worry about the problem of excess silver.

Chen Fan was thoughtful when he heard this.

Although the value of silver in the current market is also very strong, it cannot compare with the value of gold.

Gold is the hard currency in the global market.

Although Chen Fan really wanted to bring some gold back from Daming.

But very helpless.

The currencies in circulation in Ming Dynasty were mainly copper coins and silver.

Gold is basically very little.

Even though Chen Fan knew that gold was far more valuable than silver.

But the problem is, Daming doesn't have one!

There was nothing he could do.

We can only find a way to get gold from outside Daming in the future.

If he remembers correctly, at this point in time, European powers have just begun to colonize the world.

They are looting gold resources from African colonies and American colonies.

Chen Fan felt that if he wanted to get gold, he had to start with them.

"By the way, apart from helping Daming exploit oil, there is another important thing for you."

Chen Fan looked surprised.

"what's up?"

Gao Guoqiang talked for a long time, feeling a little thirsty, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

After drinking, he put down the teacup and said calmly:

"The higher-ups intend to assist Daming with some technologies to speed up the development of Daming society."

Chen Fan nodded, expressing his understanding.

When he watched TV, there were introductions in the news.

Huaguo hopes to cultivate the market of Ming Dynasty through aiding Ming Dynasty.

In this way, high-value-added technological products can be exported to the Great Ming World.

Chen Fan raised his hands in favor of Hua Guo's strategy.

Doesn't this coincide with his system's main task?
Build Daming!Develop Daming!
Gao Guoqiang continued to speak.

"The development of a society is all-round development, economy, military, science and technology, education, humanities..."

"And to develop these, the most important thing is Daxing Education, which trains outstanding talents from all walks of life."

"So, the higher authorities hope that you can persuade Chongzhen to develop science."

"It's best to establish a university that specializes in cultivating talents, and Huaguo can provide some assistance."

Gao Guoqiang knows very well that a society cannot progress without talents.

Therefore, the higher-ups decided to help Daming cultivate talents from all walks of life and promote the progress of Daming society.

"Building a university? Cultivating talents?"

Chen Fan lowered his head in thought, and whispered to himself.

Chen Fan quite agrees with this.

What does the progress of a society depend on?
Isn't it just a large number of talents emerging from all walks of life!

As the saying goes, no matter how hard it is, you can't suffer children, and no matter how poor you are, you can't have poor education.

This can be seen.

How crucial education is to the development of society.

Besides, the task given to Chen Fan by the system is to build all aspects of the Ming Dynasty.

And this requires the cultivation of talents from all walks of life.

"Don't worry, Uncle Gao, this matter is on me."

Chen Fan patted his chest and promised.
