Minister Zheng listened to Lin Sanyi's instructions and knew that he was right, so he nodded heavily:
"Okay, with what you said, we can go ahead and do it with confidence. We promise not to let you down."
Lin Sanqi added:
"In addition, if we can't solve the long-distance transportation problem, it's not realistic for us to rely solely on the Daqing Oilfield. After all, the Daqing Oilfield is in the northeast, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a remote and poor place.
So my suggestion is that I will bring in about 30 pieces of refinery equipment this time. We can expand our presence and set up several more refineries across the country to supply them locally, which will be more efficient.”
Minister Zheng said in embarrassment:
"Even if there's only one refinery in each province, as long as the equipment is in place, we can definitely do it. The problem is that there aren't many oil fields being mined in China, and without them, we can't build a refinery.
Take Zhejiang Province, for example. After years of exploration and research, we know for sure there are no oil fields there. Therefore, locating this refinery in Zhejiang would be inappropriate and a complete waste.”
Lin Sanqi thought that in a few decades, the two companies in Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang Petrochemical and Zhenhai Refining and Chemical, would be more powerful than all the refineries in the country.
However, this is based on the deep-water port advantage of Zhoushan Ningbo Port, which imports oil from abroad.
Lin Sanqi waved his hand at this time, and two young secretaries came over with a large map and began to slowly unfold it.
Minister Zheng was very curious and went forward to take a look. Then he saw the problem and said in surprise:
"Comrade Sanqi, is this a map of domestic oil and gas distribution???"
Lin Sanqi nodded and said:
"Yes, this is the distribution of oil and natural gas in China that I know of so far. I have marked them all on the map.
For example, the Changqing Oilfield located in the Ordos Basin has a total exploration area of 370,000 square kilometers. According to our estimates, the proven oil reserves are more than 8.5 billion tons.
The Daqing Oilfield, which you currently believe has reserves of about 5 billion tons, is actually not as large as that of the Changqing Oilfield.
In addition, although the Shengli Oilfield in the Yellow River Delta area only produces 8 tons of oil per day, which seems not much, I want to tell you that the oil reserves here have reached a huge 5.5 billion tons.
In addition, there are large oil fields here in Xinjiang Province, in the Tarim Desert, and in the Karamay and Tahe areas on the northwest edge of the Gar Basin.
So, in general, in the next 20 to 30 years, China will have no shortage of oil, and we can declare ourselves no longer an oil-poor country. Then our refineries can be dispersed across these regions.”
Minister Zheng was shocked and looked at the map for a long time without saying a word.
He couldn't believe how a "smuggler" could obtain such a top-secret national information as the distribution map of China's oil and gas fields, and how he could know it so clearly.
This is something very terrifying when you think about it carefully.
"Comrade Sanqi, where did you get these oil and gas distribution maps? Are they accurate?"
Lin Sanqi laughed and said:
"Where did you get it from? Of course it's the data we completed before liberation. Don't worry, Old Zheng. How come you're not as bold as the Ministry of Coal Industry?
When I gave them the national coal resource distribution map, they were very happy to use it. Unlike you, who are so afraid of this and that.
"With our country's tight defense network against enemies and spies, which foreign exploration team could operate in our country without being discovered? You're overthinking it."
Minister Zheng blushed.
I thought that Lin Sanqi's ideological awareness and loyalty to the country had been recognized and stamped by the highest level, so I shouldn't have any doubts about it.
"Comrade Sanqi, besides this distribution map, do you have any other detailed geological data on the oil fields?"
Lin Sanqi pointed at a few containers not far away and said:
"It's all ready for you. There are 10 containers full of information, including detailed information on various oil fields. Consider this a free gift from me."
Oh, and don’t throw away this container after you’re done using it. It’s also a useful thing. It can be used as a temporary campsite when you’re transporting it to the field for exploration operations.”
There were no containers in China in the 1960s. This was not a technical problem, but rather the result of insufficient steel production.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi suddenly felt a chill, wondering if he would be asked to help build the steel mill again in the future. He was still afraid to go to the Cleaver Team's hometown, afraid that he would be beaten up by the group just for having a barbecue.
After receiving Minister Zheng's numerous thanks, Lin Sanqi put the refinery matter aside. The New Year had already passed, and he still had many things to deal with.
The first thing is to take the lead in implementing the barefoot doctor system nationwide.
Although it was clear that barefoot doctors were to be implemented in all provinces across the country, and the leading cadres in the ministry had each contracted their own areas.
However, because barefoot doctors are a new thing that has never existed in history, a template is urgently needed to prove how to establish them.
Therefore, the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, which are Lin Sanqi's contracted areas, became the first batch of pilot areas in the country.
As long as the barefoot doctors in Guangdong and Guangxi are successfully established and a set of operational and sustainable development models are formed, they can be promoted nationwide.
With his godfather Director Shen Guoming in charge in Bao'an County and his father Lin Kucan watching over Hong Kong, Lin Sanqi had no worries.
April 15th.
Lin Sanqi, along with 10 retired soldiers from Guangxi, including Wang Jin, Lu Xuezhi, Huang Xiaoji, four Zhonghai bodyguards, and his secretary Li Yujie, boarded a train to Xiguang Province.
The reason why he didn't fly there on a special plane was because Lin Sanqi wanted to make a secret visit first.
If it wasn't a secret visit, and the notification was passed down level by level, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to see the real situation when it reaches the local level. He had already experienced this in Shaanxi Province.
It is not easy to take a train from Bao'an County to Xiguang Province.
Lin Sanqi and his group first had to take the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway to Huadu, then change trains from Huadu and follow the Guangdong-Hankou Railway to Hengyang, Funan Province.
Then transfer to the Hunan-Guizhou Railway in Hengyang to Guilin, and finally transfer to the Guizhou-Guangxi Railway from Guilin to Hechi.
It went all the way around half of southern China.
Along the way, if Lin Sanqi hadn't taken out his high-ranking official ID, he wouldn't even be able to buy a train ticket.
In the 1960s, you couldn’t just buy a train ticket or travel whenever you wanted. You had to have a letter of introduction and a legitimate reason to get a ticket. Otherwise, you had to learn from Ni Kuang and walk from Inner Mongolia to Hong Kong.
After arriving in Hechi, there is no train to Andu County, the hometown of Wang Jin and his friends.
When the dusty group finally arrived at Andu County by long-distance bus, Lin Sanqi was almost going crazy.
If it were a few decades later, it would only be a 700-kilometer journey, and if a few people took turns driving, they would get there in 8 hours.
However, in 1964, it took Lin Sanqi and his companions five full days to arrive, and this was based on the availability of trains and cars.
This was in ancient times when people rode horses or walked, so it would have taken several months.
No wonder that in the late Qing Dynasty, it took 20 days for the news of the foreigners occupying the city of Huadu to reach the capital. By the time the emperor saw it and sent back the imperial edict, it was already too late.
Wang Jin and his group were quite excited to return to their hometown. Huang Xiaoji, the youngest, was the most chattering:
"Boss, even though we are poor, we still have a lot of delicious food, such as hemp leaf steamed buns, squeezed rice flour, and black rice dumplings. Those were the snacks we wanted to eat the most back then.
"Also, our black goat is the best. Whether it's in soup or grilled, it's just the aroma of meat, without a hint of mutton. Also, don't miss the sour soup fish, boss, you have to try it."
Wang Ji also smiled and said:
"Yes, Boss. When you come to our hometown, it's our treat. Now that our wallets are full, we can eat whatever we want. We are so generous."
Several other veterans from Andu County burst into laughter. It turned out that Qian Zhuang was a coward.
In the past, these country people rarely came to the county town. They could only drool at the delicious food sold at the street stalls without having a penny in their pockets.
Now everyone's annual salary is 6,000 Hong Kong dollars. A Fengtang leader like Wang Jin, whose annual income reaches 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, naturally has the confidence to make such bold statements.
Who knew that Lin Sanqi would curl his lips after hearing this:
"Do you think this is still Hong Kong? Money can buy everything. You must have forgotten about food and meat coupons, right? Without them, just money, you wonder if the restaurant will sell anything to you. Humph."
When Wang Jin and the others heard this, they stopped laughing instantly and scratched their heads.
I've been away for a few years and have forgotten about the food coupons.
After the excitement, everyone calmed down, looked around, and observed their hometown again. Then several people sighed repeatedly:
"Our Andu County is still so poor. Nothing has changed at all."
At this time, Lin Sanqi took out his camera and started taking pictures with great interest.
"It hasn't changed for the better. This original and pristine appearance will be a cultural and tourism treasure in the future, and it will make a fortune."
Andu County is a county with ethnic minorities. There are 27 ethnic minorities in the county, which together with the Han ethnic group account for almost half of the country's population.
The largest ethnic group among them is the Yao.
With so many ethnic minorities, the clothes worn by ordinary people on the street are naturally diverse. They maintain traditional ethnic costumes and are very local in character.
What others consider a backward place is, in Lin Sanqi's eyes, the most beautiful "scenery." (End of this chapter)
