In the eleventh year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, on July 20, 1638, Wang Yue returned to Tianjin by landing ship.

At present, the population of Tianjin Port District has reached 280,000, which is more than the population of Tianjin Sanwei, which is 50 kilometers away.

High-income people have rapidly prospered the local economy and increased the attractiveness of Tianjin's port area.

The Tianjin Oil Refinery, which is eight kilometers away from the Tianjin Port Area, has been in trial operation for more than a month. There are already more than 30,000 engineering vehicles, buses, and military vehicles within the starting point city, as well as the navy and diesel generators, so the importance of oil to the starting point city is self-evident.

"Young master, now our ten sets of oil refining equipment can process more than 4,000 tons of crude oil per day, of which 1,160 tons of gasoline, 1,970 tons of diesel, 182 tons of kerosene, 210 tons of lubricating oil are obtained every day, and the remaining waste is asphalt." Wang Baochang introduced Wang Yue.

The other five sets of equipment were added by Wang Yue later, these equipment are fully automatic oil refining equipment, the refinery's oil storage tanks have been built a lot, and the giant product tanker has been docked at the refinery's seaside, and the oil tanker can still accommodate it if the oil storage tank is insufficient.

Solving the oil problem made Wang Yue breathe a long sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Yes, at the end of the year, the refinery will expand ten sets of oil refining equipment, and you will make persistent efforts." ”

In fact, the waste from oil refining can also be used to refine other raw materials for the chemical industry, but this operation can only be left for later, and the work can only be carried out step by step. This kind of fully automated oil refining equipment can only be a substitute in the case of weak technology, through long-term study and work, Wang Yue believes that the relevant talents will gradually appear.

"Okay young master!" Wang Baochang found that Wang Yue's size had grown a little taller, and he had matured a lot, so he was full of joy.

Wang Yue said: "You have to keep an eye on the progress of the gas station, if there is a shortage of manpower, you can report it at any time, and I will solve it." ”

This is also a big project, the Beijing-Tianjin area will realize pipeline oil transportation, a total of more than 100 gas stations, pipeline mileage of more than 300 kilometers.

Wang Baochang hurriedly said: "Mrs. also attaches great importance to this project, which started half a year ago and is expected to be completed in March next year, and there has always been abundant manpower." ”

Wang Baochang's wife is Zhang Ziyun, Wang Yue hummed and said: "Production second, safety first, this fire prevention measure must be strictly controlled." ”

After visiting the oil refinery, Wang Yue returned to the dock landing ship combat conference room, and at this time, Wang Zhuo, Li Zixiong, Huang Bo and others also arrived from the starting point city. Wang Zhuo had already returned to the starting point city a year ago, and the affairs of Shandong had been handed over to Zhou Yan, the head of the second regiment, to be temporarily responsible.

Starting Point City has developed into the core area under Wang Yue's jurisdiction, so it needs a heavyweight of the Wang family to sit for a long time.

At present, the population of the starting point city is more than 700,000, an increase of one-third over a year ago, of which the non-agricultural population accounts for 90 percent, and this does not include the more than 100,000 military households and Beijing camp officers and soldiers who belong to the imperial court to work in the starting point city, and the floating population who come to the starting point city to do business.

Between the starting point city and Shijingshan Industrial Zone, it is no longer the appearance of the former suburbs of Beijing, due to the opening of public transportation and frequent exchanges between the two places, and many new residential areas, the prototype of a new city is gradually formed.

More than 700,000 high-income people have stimulated the prosperity of commerce, and businessmen from the capital and surrounding areas have flocked to the city.

According to current statistics, there are nearly 50,000 people who come to the starting point city to engage in business, and most of these people are currently included in the floating population, because these people have not yet obtained the ID card of the starting point city, but only have a residence permit, so they cannot enjoy other benefits of the starting point city.

The reason why these people have not yet obtained the ID card of the starting point city is that many of them are vested interests in the Ming court, and they are unwilling to give up their current identity and status, and accept the constraints of the laws of the starting point city. For example, the educational materials of the starting point city, the abolition of personal dependence, the equality of men and women, the freedom of marriage, etc., are all things that are difficult for them to accept, and they are all here to do business and make money.

However, this phenomenon is gradually changing, because the general environment of the starting point city is like this, and the atmosphere of the starting point city is also affecting them for a long time.

The most direct impact is the issue of employment, and most of the employees who are free understand the benefits of the starting point city, and most of them will choose to join the starting point city. If there is a personal dependency, the starting point city will not recognize it, and those businessmen who adhere to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty will gradually find that they have been isolated.

The best treatment in the starting point city is the starting point city's own workers and staff, they are undoubtedly the most envious of people, there is a high salary of more than three taels a month, and there are already workers with a monthly salary of fifteen taels in Shijingshan, they are senior technicians.

In the face of such a salary, businessmen also have to raise the salaries of their employees, otherwise the loss of personnel will be too fast, as long as the starting point city recruits workers, they will be hula and run away. Take the words of these businessmen who are doing business in the starting point city: "This is raising an uncle!" "In fact, they still secretly still have to praise that doing business in the starting point city is easier to do than Jingshi, and they make more money.

The total population of Beijing in the Chongzhen Dynasty was 780,000, plus the number of soldiers and their families stationed in Beijing and the population of people who lived in and outside the imperial city and directly served the court, the total population of Beijing was 970,000, and the floating population was more than 1 million.

Due to the rapid development of the starting point city and the continuous absorption of the population around Beijing, the total population of the starting point city has begun to approach the population in Beijing, but the economic strength of the starting point city does not know how many times higher.

The purpose of this gathering of the leaders of the Tiance Army Headquarters in Tianjin was to convene a meeting on the reorganization of the Tiance Army.

The highway between Beijing and Tianjin has been built, and the contractor for this project is the Royal Road Construction Company, which is a contractor who does not contract materials. The workers of this company are the military households of Shuntianfu and the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp, and these people are in the establishment of the Chinese military governor's office and the military department, which is what they are on the surface, but in fact they are now working for the court and the emperor.

Therefore, the distance of 140 kilometers between Beijing and Tianjin only takes an hour and 40 minutes by car.

In addition, Zhang Jicheng's unit of the First Regiment was also in Tianjin, and Zhang Le, commander of the Sixth Regiment, and Xu Liang, commander of the Public Security Army, also rushed to Tianjin from the starting point city.

Zhou Yan of the Second Regiment, Wang Hongwu of the Fourth Regiment, Feng Yuanshan of the Fifth Regiment and other regimental officers all arrived from their respective stations, and the only absent was Li Zixuan of the Third Regiment, but they could learn about the content of the meeting through the teleconference.
