Nangong Hou didn't know that Lin Ziran had already found oil before he decided to engage in kerosene, and in the past few days, he had already sent someone to enclose all the places where the oil seedlings were.

That place belongs to the scope of the official wasteland, and there is no farmland or anything around, and it is very convenient to circle it by hand.

The money from the sale of land turned around, and it was returned to Lin Ziran's hands in the form of military expenses, to put it bluntly, Lin Ziran didn't spend a dime to enclose this land.

During this time, he sent people to recruit local young people to enclose all the local areas to prevent outsiders from entering, and sent people to start drilling wells near the oil seedlings to prepare for oil extraction.

Although the well has only been dug by manual means and the oil layer has not been found, Lin Ziran still has some confidence.

This oil seedling is there, there must be oil underground, it is nothing more than a matter of how many reserves, and Lin Ziran didn't expect too much reserves, just find a small-scale reserve of an oil field, the early stage is enough.

Recently, Lin Ziran has already sent someone to inquire about the relevant situation of whale oil in detail, judging by the whale oil purchased by Qingshan Commercial Bank, the price they purchased from the county town is 70 Hengyuan a barrel, which is the wholesale price.

The retail price is about 80 yuan a barrel, which can be said to be very expensive, not that the rich can't afford it, and many ordinary people are reluctant to light the lamp at night.

When the time comes, the price of kerosene will be lowered a little, and as long as the wholesale price in the county is less than 70 yuan, then there will be no need to worry about the market.

This also means that as long as there is a few barrels of oil a day, then the sales volume will be thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars a month.

However, how much does kerosene cost?

It is very low, according to their estimates, even if it is currently a small-scale pure manual mining and refining, the production cost of a barrel of kerosene will definitely not exceed ten Hengyuan, and if it is a large-scale mass production in the later stage, the cost will be even lower.

Profiteering, definitely profiteering!

After getting the kerosene out, Lin Ziran didn't continue to deal with Nangong Hou's madman, let him toss some perpetual motion machine by himself, and he himself ran to the oil seedlings again.

In the morning, news had already come that an artificial oil well they had dug directly near the oil seedlings had already produced oil.

When Lin Ziran arrived at the place, he saw a large well several meters long and wide, seven or eight meters deep when he looked down, and the underground was already dark, and it was obvious that there was oil seeping out.

Lin Ziran only glanced at it and knew that there was a play, and immediately said: "Keep digging, dig out the oil spring, as long as you dig it out, you will be rewarded!" ”

Because there is no mechanical equipment, the wells are drilled manually in the most primitive way, so the depth is naturally impossible to dig too deep, but the oil layer here should be very shallow, otherwise there will be no oil seedlings, and you will not be able to see the oil seeping out after digging seven or eight meters.

It's not enough to rely on slogans to motivate, Lin Ziran is the choice on the spot, add meals to the young people digging wells, and everyone has a piece of meat!

After inspecting the oil side, Lin Ziran returned to Qingshan Town, and then continued to toss his distillation tower and other oil refining processes.

I have to say that although Nangong Hou seems to be out of tune, his ability is really good, and his hands-on ability is very strong......

When Lin Ziran tossed these, Hao Ren also came to Qingshan Town with his baggage team again, this time Lin Ziran did not personally take someone to escort him, and now he is busy and has no time to engage in armed training, but let Luo Mazi take a platoon over to meaning.

But what he didn't expect was that the baggage team had just set off in the morning, and in the afternoon he saw Luo Mazi running back with people.

This time he shouted, "My lord, it's not good......"

Ma Dan, it's this sentence again, how many times has this been, Lin Ziran hates this sentence the most now.

However, seeing Luo Mazi and the others looking flustered, he still asked, "What's wrong?" Didn't you take someone with you to escort supplies? ”

Luo Mazi said: "The baggage team was attacked......"

As soon as he heard this, Lin Ziran paused, and then got up: "What's the matter, how can it be attacked, that gang of bastards dares to make trouble on our ground?" ”

Luo Mazi cried with a sad face: "It's the Guang'an rebels!" ”

When Lin Ziran heard the words of the Guang'an rebels, he immediately had a very bad feeling: "Didn't you say that the Seventh Regiment had already entered the hinterland of Guang'an for a hundred miles, why would there still be Guang'an rebels here in Qingshan Town?" What the hell is going on, let's talk carefully! ”

Luo Mazi said: "According to your orders, the little one took people and Lord Hao to the north together, but halfway through, they encountered the attack of the Guang'an rebels, and there were more than 200 of them!" ”

Lin Ziran glanced at Luo Mazi, and then looked at the more than 100 people who were neatly behind him: "Did you fight?" ”

Luo Mazi shook his head: "The rebels are fierce, and the little one will come back with someone immediately when he sees a bad opportunity!" ”

Lin Ziran continued to ask, "Lord Hao, what about them?" ”

Luo Mazi said: "I don't know, we were in a hurry, and we didn't pay attention to them!" ”

Seeing Luo Mazi like this, and then seeing that Luo Mazi brought back more than 100 people completely, none of them were missing, Lin Ziran couldn't guess what was going on, it must be this Luo Mazi As soon as he saw the Guang'an rebels killed, he immediately led people to run away and sold Hao Ren and them.

It's not that he thinks it's wrong for Luo Mazi to do this, the enemy's current self-preservation is naturally the most important thing, and a bandit who doesn't understand how to sell his teammates is not a good bandit.

However, it also depends!

The Guang'an front line is estimated to have tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides, if this baggage team has a problem in his Qingshan Town, resulting in unstable logistics on the front line, a random board on the top will be photographed, and he Lin Ziran's small body can't afford it, and it will be easy to expose his identity if the matter is big.

waved his hand to shut up Luo Mazi, and then Lin Ziran called Wu Dajiang, the deputy platoon commander of the first platoon, over and asked in detail.

Wu Dajiang is honest, what do he say in front of Lin Ziran.

According to his description, at noon, their group was intercepted by about 200 Guang'an rebels, when Hao Ren ordered the whole army to form a formation to resist, but Luo Mazi ordered to retreat.

Then the more than 100 people who were confused just ran back.

As for Hao Ren, when they retreated, they were already using the car formation to defend, and now it is estimated that they have fallen into a heavy encirclement.

Damn it!

Lin Ziran doesn't know whether to say Luo Mazi is good or bad now, you say that he is not good, and he knows how to preserve his strength.

You say he's okay, this is not the time to preserve his strength, and the consequences of losing his baggage are even more serious.

If it weren't for the fact that the consequences of losing these burdens were too serious, he himself would have sent old bandits to rob them some time ago, and Hao Ren's escort of more than 50 people, as long as it was properly arranged, it would not be a problem at all to grab one.

But Lin Ziran still didn't do it, because he Lin Ziran knew.

Robbing the baggage can certainly get a moment's pleasure, but the boss can make him unhappy for the rest of his life!

Thinking that the rest was useless, it was better to send troops to rescue the baggage first.

I hope Hao Ren can hold on!
