Chapter Seventy-Two: After the tide goes out, you can see who is swimming naked

After the change of the main fuel for shipping, how to deal with the original coal station industry and personnel.

Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously thought of letting the relevant personnel gradually change careers, and at the same time let the coal station also change its use, which is the so-called industrial transformation in later generations.

It's definitely not a good idea, but it probably isn't a good idea either, so I didn't even think about speaking up.

The emperor looked at everyone and didn't speak, first glanced at Zhu Jingyuan, and then looked at the Hubu Shangshu who was now in charge of civil affairs:

"What does Big Situ Ke think?"

The current stage is almost free discussion, and the emperor named the name of the king of the household department Shangshu to read the name of the grandson, because he wanted the other party to come out and take the lead.

The old man immediately stood up when he heard the call, and directly explained his natural thoughts:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that even if the navy replaces fuel oil, it will still use fuel after all, and it will also build an oil depot to reserve fuel oil.

"Can the industries and personnel related to coal stations be directly and gradually transferred to oil production and storage-related industries?"

This simple idea was immediately aroused by the attention of others.

Zou Bingtai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and explained the situation to Wang Shangshu, saying:

"Da Situ, the nature of fuel oil and coal burning are very different, and the storage conditions required are also completely different, and the oil depot is much more dangerous than the coal depot.

"The management personnel and men of the oil depot, even ordinary laborers, need to be specially trained and assessed, and it is impossible to change careers directly from the coal station.

"Moreover, according to the current judgment, the range of fuel ships is much larger than that of coal-fired ships, so the number of oil depots must be significantly less than that of coal stations.

"Therefore, even if workers can change careers, it is impossible for all of them to change careers, and they must find another way to resettle."

Wang Niansun frowned slightly:

"In other words, do you want to continue to operate coal-related industries? Can it be converted to a civilian coal station?

"Do you want to be a nearby civil shipping coal station? Civilian ships shouldn't be changed to fuel power right away, right? ”

This time, Liu Quanzhi, the secretary of the military department, came out and explained:

"The distribution of naval coal stations is configured according to the needs of the navy, and most of them are not in densely populated prefectures and counties, and some will even deliberately avoid a certain distance.

"In the vicinity of the original prefecture and county districts, there were basically supporting civil coal stations, and it was not competitive to relocate the naval coal station, but there were some residents around the ocean coal station.

"As for whether the power of civilian ships will change in the short term, the Ministry of War has not made an assessment in this regard."

Zou Bingtai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, helped to add:

"There are residents around many ocean coal stations, but they are actually gathered because of the coal stations, and after the coal stations are removed, not to mention their needs, how to resettle these people is a problem.

"Civil shipping is the most concerned about cost, and before the cost of fuel power drops to the point where it is affordable, it should not be able to change the power system on a large scale.

"However, civil shipping technology is also constantly developing, and the range of ships is also continuing to grow, which will lead to the gradual decline of coaling stations that are not well located.

"Transferring the military's coal station-related industries directly to civilian shipping should speed up the process.

"The result is likely to be a sudden increase in the overall supply of coal for civilian use, with a rapid increase in the number of workers.

"Competition will become extremely fierce, and the profits and remuneration of coal stations will fall simultaneously, accelerating the bankruptcy ...... of small coal stations"

Wang Niansun listened to the explanation, frowned and asked again:

"Can it be transferred to other coal-using industries? For example, power stations and heating companies in urban areas of Fuxian County? ”

Zou Bingtai nodded seriously and said:

"Of course, it can be used for power generation and heating, and it can be used for all industries that need coal, but the reason is the same as moving to a civilian shipping coal station.

"Originally, if the imperial court did not guide the industries and personnel eliminated by the military coal station, they would definitely pour into other private coal-related industries.

"As the supply of coal increases in other coal-using industries and the number of employees increases, the result is a decrease in profits and remuneration.

"So instead of actively introducing into one industry, it is better to disperse to all relevant industries and disperse the strength of this impact."

Wang Niansun asked a little gloomily:

"Doesn't this mean that it is better to take the initiative to guide to other industries, or even to leave it alone?"

Zou Bingtai thought about it for a few seconds, and then nodded slightly:

"Pretty much think so......"

The other old gentlemen did not speak, but they generally agreed with this view, and the scene was quiet for a while.

Zhu Jingyuan felt that his thoughts were just in a similar direction to everyone, so he didn't think about opening his mouth.

At this time, Zhu Jianfeng, the ninth son of the emperor, stood up, and Zhu Jingyuan and other ministers were a little surprised.

Could it be that he thought of a more reasonable solution?

Zhu Jianfeng listened carefully to the discussion on the spot, and after thinking about it carefully, he saw the opportunity to stand up.

Zhu Jianfeng didn't have a more reasonable solution, but thought that he could see farther than these old gentlemen, and even felt that he could see farther than his father.

Zhu Jianfeng took a deep breath, and then said in a steady and rhythmic tone:

"I don't think you need to worry too much, the impact of the coal station on the industry does not need to be dealt with by us.

"Now that Daming and Xiyi have officially ceased war, the development of the industrial industry will become more rapid.

"In the process of the gradual reduction of military coal stations, the corresponding employees will definitely be spontaneously transferred and dispersed to other coal industries.

"As long as the development of related industries is fast enough, these people can be gradually digested.

"If we want to reduce the impact on the industry, we need to extend the time for the conversion of warship fuel as much as possible, and reduce the speed of coal station removal as much as possible.

"As long as the time is extended to more than 10 years, it should not have any noticeable impact.

"Pure fuel warships are unlikely to become widespread in a few years, and civilian coal-fired ships may even increase in the short term......"

Zhu Jianfeng's reason is very simple, to put it bluntly, it is to let the market automatically adjust, and let the growing productivity automatically solve the contradictions.

The Ming Dynasty has a vast hinterland and colonies, and the second industrial revolution is basically mature, and all walks of life are developing rapidly, so it can indeed slowly digest this problem.

Several old gentlemen thought about it a little and felt that what Zhu Jianfeng said was reasonable, and it was completely in line with the experience of observation over the years.

Then they subconsciously felt that the vision of this semi-public heir was indeed higher than ordinary people, and there should be no need to worry about the stability of the political situation in the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Several ministers generally agreed with this idea, and others did not come out to oppose it or express other opinions.

So they turned to look at the emperor on the stage together, waiting for the emperor to make a final decision.

The old emperor seemed to be as usual, first noncommittal to everyone's opinions, and then turned to the other princes and ministers:

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any other opinions?"

The old emperor's gaze seemed to sweep over evenly, but Zhu Jingyuan felt inexplicably that he seemed to be glaring at himself.

Whether it is an illusion that there is no space is not available, Zhu Jingyuan stood up with the mentality of preferring to believe that he has it rather than believe that he has nothing.

But what should I say for myself now?

Old man Wang Niansun is on the first floor, Mr. Zou Bingtai is on the second floor, and his ninth uncle seems to have stood on the third floor.

The old emperor shouldn't be blind to the Ninth Uncle, so why should he bring up this issue for discussion?

However, no matter how many floors the old emperor is on, climbing to the fourth floor by himself should be considered a victory.

So Zhu Jingyuan didn't go to talk to Zhu Jianfeng, but said directly to the old emperor above:

"Sun Chen thinks that it can be pulled to generate electricity!"

As soon as these words came out, the old emperor and the princes and ministers on the scene were obviously stunned.

Everyone was surprised that Zhu Jingyuan's words were amazing, but similar reactions had before, and they were all surprised by his strange thinking angle, which was a positive surprise.

But this time it was completely reversed, and everyone couldn't believe that Zhu Jingyuan would say so.

As the two old gentlemen have just discussed, it may even be better to deliberately guide the eliminated coal station to generate electricity or do its coal-related industry.

Zhu Jianfeng almost laughed out loud, is this kid suddenly stupid today?

But no matter what, his image can't collapse, so Zhu Jianfeng tried to hold back his smile and tried his best to be as serious as possible:

"Jingyuan, Da Situ has already said this truth just now, taking the initiative to go to a specific industry will only make this market oversupplied, it is better to distribute ...... evenly"

Zhu Jingyuan didn't listen to Uncle Jiu's persuasion, and simply continued to explain his thoughts:

"Pull to generate electricity, to generate more electricity, and strive to make Daming's power generation and consumption double in three years, and triple in five years.

"Let the court and the Ministry of Rites cooperate to actively guide and promote the application of electricity.

"To convince everybody that there are electric lights in every room and that there must be electric fans in the living rooms, this is the life of the middle class.

"The waste heat of the power plant in winter even focuses on the boiler to provide central heating for more urban areas, and promotes that heating at home is the taste of life.

"All in all, the imperial court cut a coal station and put the relevant personnel and goods into related industries mainly for power generation.

"The Ministry of Industry and the Royal Consortium should also cooperate to develop more household and industrial power equipment, and take the initiative to open up a larger market for electricity.

"It's true that high tide can hide reefs in the shallows, but there is always a time when the tide will recede, so it's better to clear the channel at low tide.

"Emperor Shizu's holy words: Only after the tide is low can you see who is swimming naked."

After Zhu Jingyuan's words were finished, the scene was suddenly quiet, and the old gentlemen fell into deep thought again.

The original feeling of reverse surprise was completely reversed again and returned to the front.

This child's thinking angle is still so different.

Zhu Jianfeng's smile that he had tried to hold back was now completely gone, and disappeared directly and fundamentally.

Do you call these things power generation? Are you really just talking about power generation?

And who exactly are you talking about in that last sentence?

Who's going to swim naked?
