Of course, Medan is for oil!

Although Yang Qing's planned plan was to go to Bo Ni to engage in large-scale oil development, the problem was that he did not know the specific location of those oil wells in Brunei.

He did know where the oil fields were.

But the oil field is not an oil well

His advantage in this matter is simply that he does not need geologists.

He doesn't have geologists to deduce where there is oil.

He has a huge advantage in that he can roughly determine where the fields are on a map, but don't forget that there is a team of explorers between the geologists and the oil extractors. Although Shiria is a big town, the coastline is also dozens of miles, and oil is not groundwater, just dig a well and pump it, so it's useless to open up the territory on the map, and it's useless to find oil on the map. The regular procedure requires geologists to determine the plot, and the exploration team keeps digging wells to find the oil wells, and even if he goes to Brunei, he has to drill wells in the oil fields he knows to find the specific location of the oil wells.

And......

At this time, it may not be called Shiria!

But there is one place that does not need to.

Sixty kilometres north of Medan, there is a pond that has been bubbling oil since the eighth century......

Anyway, there's a lot of oil there.

This pond was previously used by the local natives to make incendiary bombs against the Portuguese, so he only had to occupy Medan, find the pond, and then continue to drill a well, so that he could get a stable oil well. This same well is also the origin of the scallop in the original history, the Dutchman Zikel drilled the first oil well on the island of Sumatra next to this pond to create the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company, which merged with another British company more than a decade later, and Shell, one of the seven sisters of oil, came into the picture.

In this case, of course, we can't let it go.

Medan is also the most important oil palm producing area in modern times, tobacco producing area, rubber producing area, and the Dutch colonists have established countless plantations around the city, so don't let it miss out on the dates with the colonists.

Yang Qing left Fuzhou the next day.

Transferred to a communications ship, he arrived on Hong Kong Island three days later with the help of the high speed of this schooner clipping boat.

Hong Kong Governor's Office.

As the private property of Her Majesty the Empress, like Jeju Island, it is managed by a governor, which is neither a local administration nor the military, but directly belongs to the Empress herself, and even the base of the Nam Yang Navy Division is leased from the Empress. Therefore, it is equivalent to a free port, as long as the rent is paid to the governor appointed by the empress, then ships of any country can come to dock, and even live and trade.

So these years are still quite prosperous.

"King!"

Yang Qing looked at King Gui with a sincere expression.

"You don't need to worry about anything, although you made some mistakes back then, now that you have repented, you will still be treated as an elder of Her Majesty the Empress. Speaking of which, your misunderstanding of me is actually completely unnecessary, it turns out that I have always been loyal to the emperor, and history will make a fair evaluation of me. However, you are also out of loyalty to Daming, the previous conflict between us was just a lack of communication, I can even treat Li Guo and these people with sincerity, let alone you! ”

He said shamelessly.

"The Protector is really a loyal minister!"

Chen Bangyan said.

Of course, the tone is a little weird.

In other words, it is the first time that Chen Bangyan has seen such a brazen person, his son has already become the crown prince, and he is still boasting there that he is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, has he deposed the emperor for treason, and then made his wife a loyal minister of the emperor?

"I said that history will judge me fairly!"

Yang Qing said awe-inspiringly.

Chen Bangyan didn't say anything more.

To say more is to find trouble, this kind of thing can be stopped in moderation, it has already reached this point, and it is useless to talk about it.

"So what will the Lord Protector do with us?"

Chen Zizhuang said.

They did not know that Yang Qing was going to throw them to Quang Ninh to clear the wasteland, and the previous decree to King Gui was only to withdraw the feudal domain, and then the First Marine Army put them under house arrest on Hong Kong Island. Things have come to this point, and they have no qualifications to resist, in fact, even if it is not for the First Army of the Marine War to separate the two sides, they will not be able to fight. And not only in Guangzhou, on the fifth day of the Guangzhou Incident, the iron-smelting workers in Foshan also went on strike, and even in the rural areas of various places, peasant riots began to appear, especially the workers in the iron mines in northern Guangdong.

It can be said that the Katsura clan has de facto collapsed.

If it weren't for Yang Qingluo, they might have regained control of the situation, after all, they still had an obedient mercenary army, and the militias of the gentry everywhere were also in action, at most to fight a large-scale war of repression in Guangdong, but with the landing of the Ming army, they were completely hopeless.

But they were not reconciled.

In the past ten years of operation, countless financial resources have been spent to build fortresses, 50,000 elites have been armed and trained, flintlock guns, field artillery, and mortars, which can be said to be the strongest in addition to the imperial court at present, and Zhang Xianzhong does not have so many flintlock pistols. As a result, Yang Qing didn't need a single shot, just a letter, and everything was in vain, but they could only accept the reality, if they didn't accept the reality, they would lose more, and at this moment, as losers, they were still a little lonely in the face of this young minister.

"Shift!"

Yang Qing said.

"The king moved to Guangning, east of Yiwu Lu Mountain, north of the Daling River, west of the Liao River, and south of the border wall of Liaodong as the king's fiefdom, but he had no right to govern the people, and no longer set up guards. As for the two of you, go and be the governor and general judge of Quang Ninh, and the foreign mercenaries in the guard of the Gui Domain, follow you to the north and count your people. ”

He continued.

"Quang Ninh? What is the population of Quang Ninh? ”

Chen Zizhuang said a little confused.

"Aren't there people when you go?"

Yang Qing said with a smile.

King Gui and the three looked at each other, and finally resisted the urge to spit on his face.

"Actually, it's not that difficult, I can give you a year, and you can buy more slaves and maids in this year? There are people in the Wa Kingdom, and those who have cultivated land in Korea are now buying slaves and maids from the Wa State. There is no shortage of money in your hands, and the slaves and maids of the Japanese country are cheap, buy a few thousand slaves and maids first, and I will give you some new seeds, which will develop in a few years. ”

Yang Qing said with a smile.

"The Protector is really calculating!"

Chen Bangyan said expressionlessly.

"Otherwise, what do you want, we are all understanding people, you are losers, losers are not qualified to bargain, and you are not qualified to blame me, it is not Guangdong that I recaptured, it was the people of Guangdong who drove you away. I'm curious, don't you know the consequences of squeezing workers? Wouldn't those who tried to secede for a long time first have to win over the hearts and minds of the people? Li Zicheng did everything he could to ensure that his people were well fed, and the result was that his rule was like an iron bucket, and if he hadn't taken the initiative to submit to obedience before his death, I wouldn't have even had the confidence to take Guanzhong by force within ten years. Even if they read the books of sages, the gentry there in Zhang Xianzhong now know that they must reduce the rent of the peasants, and they cannot let the peasants starve so much that they rebel, but why don't you even understand this? ”

Yang Qing asked curiously.

The three of them silently ......

"At that time, I was making crazy money, who could see anything else!"

King Gui sighed.

"This is Li Lingzhi's faintness, you only see the golden light brought by industrial development, or you only see your own prosperous city, but you can't see the filth under the golden light, the slums behind the prosperous city. In the final analysis, you are too arrogant to look down at those humble grass people, you are nobles who live with the country, you are noble scholars, you disdain to look at them, just like people walk without looking at the ants under their feet. If you had used to look at them with your noble gaze, even if it was just to look at them, at the scrawny little kids pushing carts on the streets, at the babies in the sewers who were discarded because they couldn't feed themselves, maybe you wouldn't be here today. ”

Yang Qing said.

The three of them remained silent.

"Okay, the matter is over, you have regained your freedom, you can go wherever you like in this year, and you can go to Nandu to see your old friends if you want, don't forget to go to Quang Ninh in a year!"

Yang Qing said.

It is good for these people to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to show their depression and sadness, let them scare and scare those capitalists in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and let those guys who are gloating also be sober. The latter are indeed gloating, after all, all the factories in Guangzhou have stopped production, and those merchant ships can only go to the north to purchase, and at this time the exports of several customs in the north have skyrocketed. And at least this year, this situation will not change, after all, even if the Guangzhou incident is resolved peacefully, it will take a recovery period in the future.

But Yang Qing was not ready to let them continue to maintain such a good mood, and then not only could King Gui and these people scare them, but also had to render it in the newspaper.

There are also many dead factory owners.

The same is true of factory owners whose homes have been raided by workers.

"How is the Protector going to deal with the follow-up?"

Chen Bangyan said.

"It's very simple, your factories are still yours, but I can't let you continue to oppress workers like in the past, I have to set a rule for you. Again, to prevent this from happening again, the workers must also follow this rule, so as to regulate the factory owners and the workers, which is beneficial to both of you, but whoever orders to fire at the workers must be severely punished, and for whatever reason, he must not shoot at the people of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Yang Qing said.

"What about the worker's behavior?"

Chen Zizhuang asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Workers? What they do with them will depend on the situation in the city, but at least when the Katsura guards shoot at them, their resistance is legitimate and necessary. ”

Yang Qing said.

Er Chen looked at him in amazement. ()
