Yan Changwu completed two-thirds of the affairs in the north, and then carried out the last one-third of the affairs, whaling!

He's going to hunt whales!

How did those cute squirting babies get messed with him?

No way, guilty of harboring bi, who made them grow so fat and have a lot of oil and water in their bodies!

The population of the southeastern province has led to a sharp increase in the demand for indoor lighting, outdoor road lighting, and even for military ships.

The initiator is Yan Dashao, this guy wears it, and he likes to shine brightly in his favorite residence, shining brightly.

Usually, in order to save money, people are all pinching lamp oil, called "soybean oil", which has two meanings, one is to use the oil pressed by beans to ignite, and the other is that the lamp flame is small, as small as beans, in order to save lamp oil.

But Yan Dashao used a giant candle and a big oil lamp to illuminate his place as bright as day, and he also liked to light lamps on his territory to let the light dispel the darkness!

How beautiful it is to light up the well-repaired concrete road!

Lights are lit everywhere on the riverbank, and the dazzling lights are reflected, I don't know which is the lamp, which is the stars in the sky, it is really a beautiful scenery.

He also likes to build squares, there are Mazu Square, Guanfu Square, Park Square, Shopping Mall Square, Hotel Square, etc., anyway, as long as the population goes up, he will definitely build a square, build a square, and the lights are blind at night, which looks like it.

No, it's beautiful during the day, and it's beautiful at night!

In addition, the number of warships has increased, and they often sail at night for training, and they have to fight at night, and the deck is brightly lit, and the lights covered with glass at the bow and stern are so beautiful!

Naval Port Night!

Lights are lit everywhere to illuminate the activities of any spies in the military port.

The top is good, the bottom will be very good, everyone looks at it, it looks very good.

So the people follow the trend, as long as there is a little surplus money, who does not light the lamp at home, you and I are very happy, and everyone lights up at home.

Besides, Yan Dashao has a habit of cleanliness----- he likes to wash his hands with soap!

Soap is made from grease, and under his teaching, the army and the people of the southeast province used soap by brushing.

So the grease was urgent, the lamp oil was urgent, and the treasury silver was gone!

At that time, candles and oil lamps were used to light lamps at night, and these burners could provide a stable source of light, but torches could not be used stably.

However, both candles and oil lamps must use vegetable oil, animal oil and mineral oil, and the southeast province may be guaranteed at first, but with the large increase in population, the oil is not enough, so it has to spend silver dollars to import it outside!

According to incomplete statistics, the government and the people of the southeast government imported oil a year reached 100,000 silver dollars, this amount is really amazing, the southeast coast, inland areas, even Liaodong and North Korea, and the Japanese country have to send oil, even the red hair fan also do these businesses from Southeast Asia to transport oil to Yan Dashao--- point is gone!

This is also an act that Chen Jinji, the chief executive of the Southeast Province, and Chen Hebin, the financial officer, hate, according to them, it is definitely a good thing that Yan Dashao likes to spend money to build big ships and make thicker, larger and harder artillery.

It's good to care about your subordinates and improve their servants, and buy the hearts of the military.

There are also municipal construction, people's livelihood economy, etc., okay, buying the hearts of the people is the right way!

Even Yan Dashao went to buy a few Yangzhou thin horses, they didn't object, after all, how much money can thin horses cost? They served the eldest young master happily, he was happy, and everyone was happy.

If he keeps his face down all day long, no one will feel comfortable.

But take the silver dollar to light the lamp?

It's too extravagant!

The industrious and thrifty Chen Xinji is not an ignorant person, and he is sure that the oil used to make soap is ensured, and he is happy to approve money for the bright light everywhere and whitewash the peace.

But the usual time is lit up, and the characteristics are bigger, which is too luxurious!

It's just that they saw that the social atmosphere about lighting the lamp had "brought damage" to Yan Dashao, and in desperation, Chen Xinji said: "Overseer, what you said about the society is progressing is right, but it is also right that the productivity you said can't keep up with the growing needs of the people!" ”

Chen Hebin said: "I'm not against lighting the lamp, I just can't look down on those profiteers!" ”

Yes, the demand for oil in the southeast province is strong, and the profiteers have not yet sat on the ground to raise the price, which has caused the price of oil to skyrocket, and the price has more than doubled before!

There was even a bad political influence, the productivity of that period was backward, and both animal oil and vegetable oil were scarce, so that Yan Changwu was so "extravagant" that it attracted criticism from outsiders!

That's not how money is spent!

You must know that people in many places on the mainland don't even have oil to eat, but this southeast province uses oil to light lamps!

This does not mean that Emperor Jin Hui's "why not eat minced meat" has the same effect!

Yes, let's find another way.

As a traverser, can Yan Dashao make the trivial matter of lighting the lamp difficult?

Electricity is not to be thought about, the technology tree has not yet lit up this piece, he thought about it, and the idea hit the whale's head.

If someone asks, what was the world's first globalized industry?

Then one of the answers is the whaling industry.

Before the electric light was turned on, the industrial civilization of the country experienced a variety of lighting methods, such as kerosene, gas and whale oil.

Kerosene is refined from oil, but apparently Yan Dashao's technology tree didn't light up this piece either.

Coal gas is a flammable gas obtained by cracking and refining coal, which also does not ignite this piece of technology tree, and is expensive to manufacture, inconvenient to transport, and dangerous to use.

So, I had to ask the whale to reluctantly provide lamp oil for everyone!

Whales are caught, and their fat is used to refine oil, which is used to light lamps and make soap.

In the previous life, in the name of scientific research, the Japanese people beat some whales to eat, which caused Bai Zuo's serious protests, and what Greenpeace was established to obstruct the whaling of the Japanese people, but as everyone knows, Bai Zuo has to thank their ancestors for making them under the light of whale oil lamps!

The prosperity of the whaling industry was actually triggered by Bai Zuo's ancestors, who killed a large number of whales to refine lamp oil, and then lit the lights at night, making the movement of XXOO to create Bai Zuo's birth!

In the 17th century, both the Dutch and the English formed large whaling fleets. By the 18th century, the installation of refineries on whaling vessels allowed whalers to refine the most valuable whale fat into oil at sea, and store the whale oil in barrels, without having to drag the whales back to shore for processing. With this processing capacity, whaling ships can often stay at sea for up to four years before returning with a full cargo.

The price of whale oil has risen, and whaling has become a lucrative business.

At that time, many newly industrialized countries such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Norway and other countries were involved in large-scale whaling.

The Americans followed behind, and the number of whaling jumped to the first place in the world in just a few years, and from 1820 to 1860, it was the "golden age" of the American whaling industry.

The "Black Ship Incident" that knocked on Japan's door occurred during this period.

On July 8, 1853, Matthew Perry, commander of the U.S. East India Fleet, led four warships into Edo Bay, the choke point of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Threatened by strong ships, the Japanese shogunate relented and accepted Perry's fleet's requests: to rescue American sailors and fishermen, to provide food, fresh water, and fuel to American whaling ships, and to open trading ports.

Seeing the power of the United States, the Japanese people changed their hearts and began to seek change, make great efforts to govern the country, and develop the country.

In the end, the Japanese state first took North Korea and then used China as a fat sheep to slaughter.

Lo and behold, to a certain extent, it is the squirting baby that has caused our bad luck in China.

If you don't go whaling, the red hairy fan will come to catch it, so it's better for us to strike first.

……

At present, the European whaling ships are still wandering around the Atlantic, and the Pacific Ocean is still a virgin land. Therefore, if China develops the whaling industry at this time, it will ignite a bright and glorious road.

Historically, the whaling activities of some countries in Europe and the Americas have been flourishing for a long time, while the amount of whaling in China has always been very small, but the hunting of nearshore cetaceans is very rare, but there is a record that the "everlasting lamp" used in the emperor's mausoleum, it is said that it is the whale oil used in the oil tank according to scientists,

It is said to be very resistant to burning, and some experts have learned based on scientific calculations that if one cubic meter of whale oil is used as fuel for oil lamps, it can be burned for 5,000 consecutive days, that is, about 15 years.

……

Whales are found in all oceans of the world. The North Atlantic is an ancient fishing ground; The North Pacific Ocean is south of Kamchatka, the Kuril Islands, and the Aleutian Islands, and west to the waters off Japan, and even off Taiwan.

In the past, the Chinese did not have the habit of ocean whaling, but now Yan Changwu, who is equipped with a sail warship, will let the whales go!

Following the shark's bad luck, the small matter of the people in the southeast province lighting the lamp triggered the cup of the spraying baby.
