Looking at the empire's 7.5 million square kilometers of land, 200 million people, and the development of domestic industry and commerce, everything else that can be tossed is basically tossed, although the output value of the agricultural and livestock industry is large, and the subsequent growth rate will also be there, but it is difficult to say that there has been leapfrog development, and ordinary industrial manufacturing is basically unusable.

The ordinary industry (non-defense) in the empire can survive very well by relying on the trade protection policy and the huge population base in the Daheng Empire.

But the international competitiveness is seriously insufficient!

Now in the international trade market, the only thing that can be counted on to fight a bloody way out is the oil industry.

Because the oil industry is not only highly productive, but the most important thing is that for the time being, only the Great Heng Empire currently has large-scale oil production on the entire Blue Star.

Other countries can't compete even if they want to.

And kerosene seems to be just an ordinary daily consumer product, which doesn't seem to be very important, but in fact, it's this kind of daily consumer goods that is big business.

Just as several powerful countries such as the Kingdom of Krull attach great importance to the textile industry, the end product of the textile industry is just clothing, to put it bluntly, it is clothes and quilts, but the textile industry is a key industry in contemporary industrial countries.

It is also one of the main commodities in international trade on the contemporary Blue Star, and its importance is no worse than that of the machinery industry.

Kerosene, like cloth, is a daily consumer product, once the kerosene of the Daheng Empire opens the market somewhere, and the local people are accustomed to using kerosene for lighting, then they can continue to sell kerosene in the local area, and the money will continue to flow into the pockets of the four major oil companies of the Daheng Empire, which also means a steady flow into the pockets of the empire.

In view of the importance of the petroleum industry, after listening to the import and export trade report of Qiansheng for three years, Lin Ziran once again instructed that all major industrial departments and local yamen should attach great importance to economic development.

It is necessary not only to continuously expand the traditional advantageous industries of agriculture and animal husbandry, but also to intensify the development of various types of manufacturing industries.

At the same time, in the process of development, it is necessary to run in small steps, while running up, to promote the rapid development of agriculture, industry and commerce, but also to control the pace, to avoid big strides forward, so as not to pull the egg......

Therefore, the development of the agricultural, industrial, and commercial economy in various localities should be adapted to local conditions, and each locality should select a number of key industries for development according to its own conditions.

For example, Pingnan Prefecture, a traditional advantageous agricultural production area, is a first-class agricultural production area in the world because of its geographical environment, climate, and even irrigation, and such a place should further strengthen agricultural development, improve the agricultural structure, improve farming methods, and promote the construction of water conservancy facilities, so as to further expand the agricultural output value and promote the increase of peasants' income.

There is also Ningyu Prefecture, where agriculture is not good, the population is not large, there is no iron ore and no coal, but there are oil resources in the north, so the focus of industrial development should first focus on the petroleum industry and related chemical industries.

In addition, Ningyu Prefecture is also rich in timber resources, and can increase efforts to develop the timber industry, such as furniture, construction timber and railway sleepers and other timber products.

The timber industry has become bigger and stronger, and it is also very profitable.

Another example is Nanhai Prefecture, a large state with developed agriculture, rich mineral resources, and oil resources, which should shoulder the heavy burden of being the economic leader of the empire and comprehensively promote the development of industrial and commercial economy, especially heavy industries such as machinery manufacturing, chemical industry, and iron and steel, as well as light industry represented by the textile industry.

But this is only the state-wide layout, and specific to each county and county, then the difference is big, such as Lianguan County, to which Luo'an County belongs, this place has no other advantageous industries except oil, so there is no doubt that the oil industry should be the key core industry of the local area.

Another example is Pingdan County on the other side of the river, the county's agriculture is not good, but it has rich coal resources, although it is not a good quality anthracite, it is ordinary coal and has a lot of talent, ordinary industrial coal is not picky, which is dug out and sold is money.

Luohai County can make use of its own transportation status and the surrounding rich coal, iron ore, oil and other resources to focus on the development of a series of core industries such as steel, machinery, and chemical industry, and further enhance the industrial and commercial economic development of the entire Nanhai Prefecture and even the middle and lower reaches of the Luohe River.

In the past two years, Lin Ziran has frequently emphasized that local government officials in various localities have made use of their own advantages to selectively focus on the development of a number of industries.

Under this targeted economic development strategy, of course, the more important factor is because of the unification of the Daheng Empire, the abolition of checkpoints within the thirteen states of the empire, and the smooth internal trade.

The economic development of the Daheng Empire, whether it is agriculture or industry, has developed rapidly after the second year of the Qiansheng Dynasty!

The large-scale export of coal in the three years of Qiansheng is actually a typical successful case in the overall economic development, although it is only the export of coal, but it also means the rapid development of the imperial mining industry.

And this situation is even more obvious after entering the four years of Qiansheng.

In July of the fourth year of Qiansheng, just after half a year, Ding Quankun of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce came to Lin Ziran with the report he had just summarized.

"In the first half of the year, our total export volume has reached 400 million Hengyuan, and we expect that the whole year is expected to exceed 1 billion Hengyuan!"

"Both agricultural and mineral products have increased substantially, and the largest increase is in petroleum products!"

"In the first half of the year alone, we have exported more than 20 million Hengyuan petroleum products, and as our kerosene has entered the market of various continents, the monthly export volume is continuing to increase, and in the second half of the year, we predict that we may be able to reach 30 million Hengyuan exports!"

The export volume of petroleum products is expected to exceed 50 million this year, and Lin Ziran is not surprised by this, and even feels a little slow.

With the discovery of large oil fields in the northern region of Ningyu Prefecture and large-scale development, the development of the oil industry in the Daheng Empire was one step at a time.

With the continuous exploration and drilling, the crude oil production capacity is getting higher and higher, especially after entering this year, the acceleration of crude oil production capacity is beyond the reach of many other industries.

In the first half of this year, the crude oil production capacity has exceeded 9 million barrels, and it will continue to grow in the second half of the year, and it is expected that the annual crude oil production capacity will exceed 20 million barrels.

With such a huge crude oil production capacity, without taking a large price reduction, the domestic market of the Daheng Empire is actually saturated, and it is impossible to digest such a huge crude oil production capacity, and the excess production capacity needs to be exported to foreign countries to digest.

And at present, the oil industry within the Daheng Empire has no competitors in the international market!
