That night, a few maids who were on night duty outside heard all kinds of strange voices from Lord Lin in the house from time to time.

Lord Lin will say something in the house for a while, stone them to death with gold.

After a while, I heard Lord Lin say: Who, who else is richer than me!

What else is ordered by the heavens, both longevity and eternal prosperity.

Just listening to these words, these maids just know that Lord Lin in the house is dreaming!

It's just that early the next morning, they saw Lin Ziran come out listlessly, and a slightly younger maid boldly asked, "My lord, what's wrong?" ”

Lin Ziran said forcefully: "It's nothing, I just think the reality is too cruel!" ”

How good it was in his dream, he swept the five continents with the golden army, became the co-lord of the world, became the emperor, and lived a life of rolling in gold every day.

But as soon as he woke up in the morning and found that the bed he slept in was not a golden bed, and the room was not a golden hall, he sighed deeply.

Since I had such a sweet dream, why did I wake up?

In his dreams, he was accustomed to eating 180 golden steamed buns a day, and now he eats this millet porridge and white bread, and he always feels tasteless.

After reluctantly eating two bowls of porridge and two bowls of big buns, Lin Ziran went out.

first went to the oil refinery next door, and then took Luo Mazi out on horseback to prepare to go to the oil field.

When they almost arrived at the oil field, Lin Ziran saw Scar and them.

Scar was leading a group of bandits to transport oil, and wagons and ox carts were full of barrels of oil.

After Scar saw Lin Ziran and the others, he hurriedly stepped forward and came to Lin Ziran: "My lord, you are here!" ”

Lin Ziran hummed, then looked around, and raised his voice slightly: "Hard work brothers!" ”

Then he turned his head to Scar and said: "Go back and arrange the arrangements and add meals to the brothers, they are all your own brothers, and I can't treat my own brothers badly if I treat anyone badly!" ”

Hearing Lin Ziran say this, these old bandits were immediately elated, and immediately someone shouted: "My lord, righteousness!" ”

Looking at the expressions of these people, Lin Ziran nodded slightly!

Don't look at these bandits in the eyes of outsiders, they are all fierce and vicious, but in fact, they are also very pure people.

If you can eat a full meal, occasionally be able to drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in large pieces, and give them some silver to go dashing, then you are very satisfied.

In essence, the other soldiers were no different from the soldiers in the patrol battalion, they all took money to give Lin Ziran their lives.

After crossing the convoy transporting oil, Lin Ziran and the others did not take long to reach the oil field.

After arriving at the oil field, Lin Ziran actually didn't do anything, just made a routine inspection, and then instructed Ding Quankun to prepare to drill a third well.

Now that the second well has successfully found the oil layer, the next thing is simple, just continue to drill the well according to the existing data.

However, Lin Ziran didn't let Ding Quankun and them be in too much of a hurry, they had to do a good job in safety, and they didn't need to use too many manpower to speed up the progress, just the current scale.

After all, the cost of drilling wells with too many manpower and equipment is not small, and the refining capacity of the refinery is limited now, and even if a third oil well is built in a short time, it will not be able to refine.

Yesterday, Lin Ziran had already asked Qingshan Commercial Bank to increase the scale of purchasing steam engines and other machinery and equipment, but no matter what, it is estimated that it will take a month to increase the refining capacity on a large scale.

So there's no need to rush on the oil field side.

After dealing with these things, Lin Ziran took people back, and on the way back, Lin Ziran was still not idle, but discussed with Luo Mazi and Wu Dajiang about recruiting troops.

"The current patrol battalion is still small, and it is tight to use, Mazi, you bring people to the vicinity to recruit troops!"

Lin Ziran continued to instruct Luo Mazi: "This time, you have to pay more attention, when recruiting people, you have more eyes, you can't recruit those second-rate people, you have to recruit farmers!" ”

"The other conditions are still in accordance with the old rules last time, and a certain amount of settling-in allowance will be given as appropriate, and eight yuan of silver will be given!"

Luo Mazi said: "My lord is really thoughtful, last time, because you said to give you a settlement fee and salary, this can recruit so many people!" ”

After saying this, Luo Mazi continued: "My lord, how many people are we recruiting this time?" ”

Lin Ziran said: "Now our patrol battalion also has four infantry platoons and one artillery platoon, this time I plan to practice two more infantry platoons and one baggage platoon, let's recruit one hundred and fifty people first!" ”

After saying that, Lin Ziran turned his head to Wu Dajiang and said: "Dajiang, this time you will also follow, you must be strict, you have to arrest the follow-up training matters of the two steps recruited this time!" ”

Wu Dajiang listened to it and showed a sincere smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely help my lord train this soldier well!" ”

Although Wu Dajiang is honest, it doesn't mean that he is stupid, and he can also hear the meaning of Lin Ziran's words just now.

That is, these two recruit infantry platoons let him train on the surface, but if nothing else, it is estimated that he will be in charge of it in the future.

Wu Dajiang guessed right, Lin Ziran is ready to continue to reuse Wu Dajiang, this Wu Dajiang is honest, the most important thing is to listen to Lin Ziran's words, and never ask any questions.

Lin Ziran asked him to do whatever he wanted!

Although his ability is a little worse, he is not clever enough, and his personality is a little wooden, but Lin Ziran feels that it is quite easy to use!

This time, Lin Ziran planned to let him train two platoons of recruits, plus one platoon that Wu Dajiang was originally in charge of, then there would be more than 150 people in three platoons, which was already the size of an infantry company.

When the follow-up is expanding, this Wu Dajiang will be one of the company commanders under him.

Recruiting soldiers is simple, they are finalized in a few words on the way back, Qingshan Town and the nearby rural areas, although they are a little remote, but this also means that there are many poor families and many poor children.

As long as the patrol battalion is well treated and can feed them, then there is no need to worry about not being able to recruit soldiers.

On the ordnance side, it took Lin Ziran a lot more thought.

Qingshan Town does not have the ability to produce its own firearms, fire caps, and gunpowder, and Boss Wang's iron workshop is a small factory at best, so they can draw rifling on ready-made smoothbore guns, so there is no problem after purchasing many new equipment.

But let them go straight to rifled guns, then it is unlikely.

They were able to make guns before, but they were all made in the most primitive way, the barrels were all rolled, roughly wrapped in iron sheets with an iron rod, and then beaten and rolled into a hollow barrel, and then finished.

Although the barrel made in this way can barely be used in the era of smoothbore guns, the quality is naturally not good.

Nowadays, the world's large arsenals, such as the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory in Nanhai Prefecture, are drilled directly in a steel pipe.

The barrel thus made is of high quality, and the accuracy is very high, and the caliber is uniform.

Only such a high-quality barrel can be used to draw rifling and transform into a rifled gun.

Boss Wang's ironware workshop obviously does not have such ability, so this gun has to continue to be purchased.

No, after returning to Qingshan Town, Lin Ziran asked people to find Zhou Li from Hongxiang Commercial Bank.
