In the tiles of the capital, there are already storytellers making up stories.

The deeds of Zong Shu's defeat of the Jin people, the assassination of the little prince of the Jin Kingdom, and the total annihilation of the Chaohua Village bandits have long been said by storytellers.

Zong Shu didn't know this.

Zong Shu only knew that Huizong was very annoyed now and ordered him to be arrested.

This was the message that the prince had sent through the pigeons, and he was told to leave immediately.

Zong Shu took Li Shaoyan, Cao Zongshen and Niu Jiajun, a total of thirty-two people, who had crossed the Yellow River and stepped into the territory of the Daimyo's Mansion.

It was a plain, and the snow had melted, revealing green wheat.

According to Zong Shu's request, Li Shaoyan took everyone to an inconspicuous village.

The people in the village saw that Zong Shu and the others were dressed very strangely, and they all gathered around to see the excitement.

Zong Shu found Li Zheng and confirmed that it was Puzhou Village, the Daimyo's Mansion.

Li Shaoyan's sense of direction is really strong, on a plain, there are almost no obvious signs, he was stunned to lead everyone, did not take a detour, and directly found the place.

The crowd sat down in an open space in a courtyard.

"This is Shanzhou, Zhenzong, the Liao army invaded the south, my Great Song Dynasty won more with less, the Liao army was defeated and sued for peace, and signed the alliance of Lanyuan. We won, but it turned out that we spent money to buy peace! What a grievance! ”

Zong Shu talked about history and couldn't help but sigh that except for the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the other emperors were basically soft eggs and couldn't help Adou.

In particular, this alliance has set a precedent of "humiliating peace".

"This place must be remembered, this is the birthplace of national shame! However, this place will also be the base for the rise of the Great Song Dynasty! This place is as important as the base in Mi County. ”

Zong Shu regards such a Puzhou village as important as the Mixian base.

Niu Gao felt a little incredible. He knew that the Mixian base had resources, and it was close to the water in front and the mountain in the back, so it was easy to enter and exit, and it was easy to attack and defend.

And this place, a flat river, is most suitable for cavalry galloping. Once it encountered the grassland cavalry, the Great Song army could only shrink its forces and set up the "big array" created by Taizu.

In Zong Shu's words, this is called the "turtle formation", there is no way, the strength is not enough, you can only pretend to be a turtle.

What to say about the base in Mi County, there is also coal, which can be exchanged for a lot of money, recruit a large number of displaced people, and build fortifications.

And there is nothing here but wheat.

Li Zheng's surname is Fan, and when he heard Li Shaoyan say that they were His Royal Highness the Prince, he became even more respectful.

"Old Fan, is there a depression in the east of your village?" Zong Shu said again: "Inside is something black and thick. ”

Li Zheng asked strangely: "Little official, haven't you been here before?" ”

Haha, Zong Shu laughed, it seems that history has not changed.

"Let's go, take me to see it."

Li Zheng Lao Fan led the way in front, Niu Gao and others followed behind, thinking, how old is Young Master Zong? Except for Mi County, he hasn't been out of Bianliang yet.

Li Shaoyan and Zong Shu have played since childhood, and they know Zong Shu's past too well, how could he have been here?

As they walked, everyone smelled a strange smell that looked like oil smoke, and even Li Zheng covered his mouth and nose.

"Petty officials, you can't go any further." Li Zheng grabbed Zong Shu.

Li Zheng said that there was a big pit in front of him, and there was something black. There are a few years when I don't take risks, and there are a few years when I risk it ruthlessly, and it all overflows.

Two children in the village went to the edge of the pit to observe because of curiosity, but accidentally fell into it and never came out.

There are also many cows, pigs and other livestock that accidentally fell into it and were also suffocated inside.

Therefore, as long as the people in the village smell the smell, they dare not come close, because the big pit is to eat people.

Zong Shu laughed and walked forward. Li Shaoyan, Cao Zongshen, Niu Gao and others also followed closely.

Li Zheng and the villagers were terrified, these people, really, don't want to die.

"What a big dung pit!" Li Shaoyan exclaimed.

Cesspool? Zong Shu couldn't cry or laugh, such a good thing, you actually said it was a dung pit!

Li Shaoyan was also speechless, didn't he say that he was going to save the family army? Why don't you go to Baigou River? Instead came here?

It took a long time to find this?

Li Shaoyan felt that his ability had become worthless, like shooting ants with a blow needle.

"Haha, don't say anything, Boyuan, we're rich!" Zong Shu said proudly.

A, such a bad smelling thing, or a good thing? Is it the same as coal, can it be exchanged for silver?

Only Zong Shu knows: the black and thick thing in the "dung pit" is oil!

This place is the center of the famous Puyang Oilfield in later generations, located in Puzhou Village, Hubuzhai Township, Puyang County, and the geological structure belongs to the Dongpu Sag Zone of the Bohai Subsidence Zone at the junction of Henan and Shandong.

This big pit in Puzhou Village is the depression zone in the depression zone.

When the first well was drilled in this area, the wellhead began to overflow with brownish-yellow crude oil.

Immediately afterwards, mud and quicksand carried a large amount of crude oil from the wellhead. The height of the oil column is 5-20 meters.

Now, it's completely self-flowing here.

Because the oil flowing from here is in contact with the air for a long time, a black shell is formed on the surface.

So this big pit is a real pit! It's easy for people and animals to be fooled, and if you fall in, you can't get out.

Carboniferous is the food of industry. Oil is the blood of industry.

Without coal and oil, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to develop industry.

It is still too early to talk about the development of oil, and the industrial system of the Great Song Dynasty is not up to the requirements at all.

Now the use can only be, military!

In ancient times, the fire oil used in ancient wars was basically animal fat and vegetable oil in the early stage, and it was basically oil in the later period, which was called fierce fire oil at that time.

The Turkic rulers sent troops to surround and attack Jiuquan in Gansu Province, and the local soldiers and civilians burned the enemy's siege tools with "stone grease water".

History records that the Vietnamese Champa once paid tribute to the emperor many times during the Southern Song Dynasty.

It seems that Li Shaoyan has had more contact with Bian Jiang, and he knows a lot of things.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were very few places where oil was found, and long-distance transportation was inconvenient, so it was not widely used, especially in the military.

The oil field in Puzhou Village is in an artesian state, seeping out of the ground, and if the well is drilled, it will definitely erupt.

Because many people and livestock died, the villagers consciously stayed away from this "dung pit".

Zong Shu gave Li Zheng some silver, and asked him to arrange for everyone to disperse to various houses to spend the night, and at the same time ordered to find some wooden barrels.

Here, it is still the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but despite this, Niu Gao still arranged for people to stand guard in the village in turn in accordance with Zong Shu's regulations.

There is a high probability that the Liao and Jin people will not come, but there are no bandits and swordsmen who come to the village to fight the autumn wind.

If you are caught off guard by these people, you will have no face to see people.

Nothing happened overnight.

When I woke up the next day, I was already waiting outside with someone inside.

Sure enough, they found ten pairs of barrels. Cao Zongshen finished paying, and Zong Shu asked the sergeants to fill up the oil.

Zong Shu asked the sergeant to hang the barrel full of oil on either side of the horse.

Everyone didn't understand, and even the villagers secretly joked, it was still His Royal Highness the Prince's people, running so far, daring to pull dung!

Marching with dung, can this go fast?

Thirty-one people didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zong Shu's gourd.
