Chapter 318: The Rise of Zhu Changrun (7)

When Zhu Changrun was almost busy, several of them rushed over from Ahvaz, and they needed to discuss the next course of action with Zhu Changrun. The purpose of Zhu Youxiao to let them come here is not only to obtain a piece of Zhu Changrun's territory, but to obtain benefits here, it is impossible for the transport ship to return empty, so it is too much of a loss, Chen Zhenhui asked Zhu Changrun to wait, since His Majesty the Emperor said that there is oil here, it must be found. They also saw that the Ottoman and Safavid armies used oil in large quantities, and also collected some of the booty, but they were too busy to settle the local security and did not have time to find oil.

Zhu Changrun said otherwise, let's buy the local products here, let's look for oil at the same time, let's ask from the locals, see where their army got the oil, don't let Your Majesty down, and it also seems that we have the ability to make some money for Your Majesty.

It is definitely possible to make money by purchasing local products, but oil is more important, Zhu Changrun was born in the royal family, and he is more good at this kind of thing, so let him send his cronies to do it, and he can only send some soldiers to find out if he wants to rectify and train the army.

After a few days of rectification, the traces of the war are gradually decreasing, the city walls have begun to be repaired, the streets have become tidy, the hidden dangers of the collapse of houses caused by the fire have been eliminated, the residents can move freely in the city, and all kinds of businessmen who have survived the disaster have also begun to operate, and the city has basically entered a state of order.

Chen Zhenhui walked on the street very satisfied with her work, after the promulgation of several of her own laws, the residents responded well, and the squire and elders were warmly welcomed, although the clergy of various religions were a little dissatisfied, but seeing that the residents were welcome, they naturally had to buy people's hearts, and did not do anything out of the ordinary, perhaps because of the strong pressure of the shock and the dragon fleet, anyway, the situation is developing in a good direction.

Chen Zhenhui walked around the city aimlessly, dressed like a local, in order not to attract attention. When he walked to the front of a clinic, he found that there were a lot of people here, which aroused his interest, and he slowly walked into the crowd.

It turned out that this was a clinic specializing in the treatment of burns, and the two fires on both sides of the war a few days ago caused great harm to the residents, many residents were burned, and the seriously injured died directly, and the lightly injured ran here for treatment, and it seems that the doctor's treatment level is good.

Originally, I wanted to casually see the living conditions of the residents, but when I met so many residents who were treated for burns, I could comfort them a little and improve the people's morale! However, after entering the door, Chen Zhenhui smelled a special smell, and after sniffing it carefully, he was finally overjoyed, because he smelled the smell of oil, which was actually the smell of gasoline, which he was too familiar with.

Now he can't go directly to inquire about this doctor, because there are too many patients, he immediately returned to the office, found Mao Bijiang, and then took a few guards and soldiers, dressed as ordinary people, and went to the clinic of the burn department together, this matter is very important, Chen Zhenhui is afraid that she will mess things up, in case the burn doctor is suspicious of herself, it will be troublesome.

It was starting to get dark, and there were not many people waiting for treatment, so they waited patiently for the doctor to finish his work before going over to speak. The interpreter who followed him told the doctor: "We are the supreme governor of this city, and you have found that you have used petroleum extracts in the treatment of burns, and we are in great need of this oil, do you know that there is a place to sell this kind of thing?" ”

The doctor looked at them with amazement, and said, "How do you know that this medicine for treating burns is extracted from petroleum, and you will extract it?" If you know how to extract this potion, I can buy it from you. ”

Chen Zhenhui said: "We will extract this medicine, but we don't use these things, its side effects are too great, if you tell us where you can buy a lot of oil, I can provide you with the medicine we brought from the Ming Empire to treat burns with better results, are you willing to use or sell this medicine exclusively?" ”

After listening to Chen Zhenhui's words, the doctor's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Is what you said true?" Let me tell you first. These ointments for the treatment of burns are really not very effective, but they are cheap, profitable, and do have a lot of side effects, since you have a better medicine, then I don't have to keep it a secret. These potions were brought from a short distance to the west, and there are a lot of refining such things there, and they have drilled a lot of these things from a special well, which is what you call oil, and it used to be controlled by the army, and now the army has been driven away by you, and it is estimated that no one cares about it, and that place is called Susa, and the oil well is near Susa. Originally, Susa was an ancient city, but years of war have left it in ruins. ”

After the doctor finished speaking, he stared at Chen Zhenhui closely, for fear that he would regret it and refuse to give him better burn medicine. Where would Chen Zhenhui do such a thing, turn around and tell the soldiers who followed, immediately retrieve ten burn ointments, just to open the Chinese medicine market here, why not?

On the second day, Mao Bijiang personally and Wang Zheng led a thousand soldiers straight to the ancient city of Susa. When I arrived at the ancient city of Susa, it was indeed a ruin, with ruined palaces, half-fallen pillars, and rubble everywhere, these collapsed buildings, extremely desolate, and seemed to tell the incomparable glory of the past.

Mao Bijiang is a soldier, and they have so many emotions that under the leadership of the locals, it didn't take much effort to find an oil well. Good guys, no wonder the man just now was willing to lead them over, it turns out that there is a lively fight here, scimitars, long knives, long spears, short guns, and even kitchen knives, axes, etc., there are probably thousands of people fighting here.

Mao Bijiang arrived with the soldiers, fired into the air, the deafening gunfire immediately frightened the crowd of armed fighters, they stopped, stared blankly at the gun-wielding soldiers of the brigade, it seems that there is nothing for them here, since the army has come, the oil wells in this place must belong to the government, and the two tribes competing for the oil wells have gone away, leaving a broken piece, bits and pieces of blood.

In the next few days, Mao Bijiang and they found three more oil wells, two of which were abandoned, and after the technicians found by Mao Bijiang dredged it, they could still produce oil. The last oil well was even better, they dug it themselves, and not far from the abandoned oil well they found a spring of oil, which was opened up by technicians. After fixing the wellhead, it was found that this well turned out to be the largest oil output, which can flow out tens of thousands of catties of oil every day, and the quality is so high that it can be refined directly without even refining.

This place is a treasure, and it was immediately mobilized by 5,000 soldiers, and it was quickly surrounded, and in a few days it was built into a barracks. It takes too long to mobilize more troops from Daming, so Mao Bijiang discussed with Zhu Changrun and Chen Zhenhui, and immediately sent some warships to Zhu Yousong's Fucheng Kingdom to borrow troops, and the transport ships waited to fill the oil before returning to Daming, and then asked Zhu Youxiao to send more soldiers and migrate more residents, the environment here is more suitable for farming, and the people of Daming should be willing to settle here.

Soon Zhu Yousong sent 20,000 soldiers from the Kingdom of Fucheng, and also brought a large amount of food, originally that place was not a heavy grain-producing area, but there were many people who could not stand Zhu Yousong's migration from Daming, which had a large amount of food, and immediately solved Zhu Changrun's food crisis.

With more troops, things are much easier, Chen Zhenhui asked people to weave a large number of oil baskets, which in the Ming Dynasty is a special tool used to hold sesame oil, load oil into oil baskets, move them to the nearby river, put them on small boats, transport them directly to Abadan, and then load them onto transport ships. At this time, Zhu Changrun found a problem, if he waited for the transport ships to be full before leaving, where would the next oil be stored? Therefore, Zhu Changrun immediately changed his method, and sent two warships to escort back when ten transport ships were loaded, and then continued to transport them over to load other ships, so as not to cause delays, and he could also transport back soldiers from Daming as soon as possible.
