Liu Wenxiu handed Gao Junshan a list: "This is the list of the British mission, the envoy is Admiral Thornwich, Sandwich is an admiral of England, who made miraculous contributions to the British Republic during the British Civil War, and was awarded the title of admiral by General Cromwell; The deputy envoy was Baron Proctor, a close friend of Thornwich and a man of great diplomatic experience, who was appointed by Cromwell as Sandwich's deputy. The other three, one was a translator, a Chinese missionary with the surname Zhou, one was a navigator, and one was a mechanical expert. ”

Gao Junshan asked: "They came this time, do they have any national documents or anything like that?" ”

Liu Wenxiu hurriedly took out a letter from his pocket: "Yes, yes, the child almost forgot about this business, this is Admiral Sonwich handed over to your father and emperor." ”

Gao Junshan took the envelope, he first looked at the envelope, the envelope was written in Chinese, and it read: The Emperor of the Chinese Dynasty personally opened.

The envelope has a wax seal.

Gao Junshan opened the envelope, this letter is also written in Chinese, the letter is not long, it is more than 200 words:

Dear Emperor of China, I am Cromwell, Lord Protector of the British Republic, and on behalf of Great Britain and Ireland, I wish long live the Emperor of China. Only you are worthy to rule the world for thousands of years.

I know that the place of Huaxia is too big, and there are many people under management, your emperor, you are worried about the major affairs of the world, not only Huaxia country, but even foreign countries, you want to protect, these countries are happy to obey you, your emperor, you are really too hard!

Nowadays, all countries around the world say that there is only the place in the world ruled by the Emperor of China, and the system is the most perfect, and everyone is convinced and praised, so I am becoming more and more fascinated.

Now that our two countries are alliance countries, I hope that we will further strengthen cooperation, so I sent a mission headed by Admiral Sandwich to hold consultations on sincere cooperation between our two countries.

After reading this letter, Gao Junshan said with a smile: "This translator's Chinese level is too watery, and he has translated a national letter so numbly, if there is a chance, Gao Junshan really wants to see the original text of this national letter." But I already know what General Cromwell means, and I want to ask, this General Cromwell's status in Britain? ”

Liu Wenxiu said: "The child has already asked, the current Britain is in the era of the Republic, and it is this protector who is in power. ”

Gao Junshan put away the letter and said, "Put it down in advance, go downstairs to eat together, and you will each take your daughter-in-law home for dinner." ”

……

After dinner, Gao Junshan took Ruan Fangqing to the back garden for a walk.

Although it is already January, the temperature is like spring, with 28 degrees during the day and no less than 20 degrees at night.

Walking on the high mountain by the lake was blown by the breeze on the lake, which was even cooler, especially with Ruan Fangqing in his hand, he felt ten years younger.

"It's about to be the New Year, can I make you a few new sets of clothes?" Gao Junshan kicked a small stone on the side of the road, and the small stone was kicked into the air, drawing an arc, and falling into the lake with a "poof".

"Chinese New Year?" Ruan Fangqing opened her big eyes.

Gao Junshan explained: "The Chinese New Year is the most solemn festival of our Han nationality, and all families get together to set off firecrackers, paste Spring Festival couplets, wear new clothes, eat reunion dinners, receive red envelopes, and visit relatives and friends. ”

Ruan Fangqing asked: "What do you have to eat for the New Year?" ”

"You know how to eat." Gao Junshan said with a smile, "In addition to a lot of delicious food during the Chinese New Year, we also have a lot of entertainment programs, such as stilt walking, lion dance, and singing. ”

Ruan Fangqing said: "The concubine doesn't like it, but the concubine still likes to eat." What do you have to eat during the Chinese New Year? ”

Gao Junshan said: "There is a lot to eat here, eat rice cakes, dumplings, glutinous cakes, glutinous rice balls, poached eggs, large meatballs, whole fish, fine wine, lucky oranges, apples, peanuts, melon seeds, candy." ”

"When is the Chinese New Year?" Ruan Fangqing asked suddenly.

"It's coming soon, there are more than ten days to go before the New Year."

Ruan Fangqing said: "The concubine is looking forward to the New Year. ”

Gao Junshan said: "You are a foodie!" ”

"What's that?" Nguyen Phuong Thanh has been far away from the lake.

Gao Junshan looked in the direction she pointed, the bright moonlight was reflected on the lake, and under the moon shadow, a pair of mandarin ducks were playing in the water.

"That's a mandarin duck."

"What are they doing?" Ruan Fangqing asked innocently.

Gao Junshan joked: "They are feeding each other water. ”

"It's so fun," Ruan Fangqing turned her head to Gao Junshan and said, "The concubine also wants the emperor to feed water." ”

Gao Junshan said: "Let's go, let's go back, I will feed you water." ”

Ruan Fangqing said coquettishly: "The concubine can't walk. ”

……

Gao Junshan fought with Ruan Fangqing in bed all night, and slept until noon the next day, he went down to the living room to read after he got up, Ruan Fangqing prepared some snacks for him, sat next to him and watched him read quietly.

Gao Junshan was watching Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", although he had watched it several times before the crossing, and he had also watched several versions of the TV series, but after the crossing, he had a deeper understanding of this set of books, so he found it out and re-read it.

He sensed Ruan Fangqing watching him, so he looked up at her, and then asked, "Do you want to read?" ”

"I don't want to."

"Why?" Gao Junshan asked.

Ruan Fangqing picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in Gao Junshan's mouth, saying, "Isn't it good now?" The emperor reads books, and the concubines read the emperor. ”

"Sweet, this snack is so sweet." Gao Junshan pinched Ruan Fangqing.

At this moment, a maid came over, and when she saw that the emperor was flirting, she lowered her head with a crimson cheek, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the queen, lunch is ready." ”

Gao Junshan said: "Lunch is ready, let's eat, I'm already hungry." ”

After lunch, Li Derong sent a telegram, which Gao Junshan took and saw that it had been sent by the Xinjiang Petroleum Working Group, where they had successfully drilled an oil well.

What can oil be used for? Before the invention of the diesel engine, oil could only be used for cooking and lighting, which was too wasteful, and he decided to postpone oil extraction.

Therefore, a telegram was sent to the oil working group in Xinjiang, fully affirming their great contribution to oil exploitation, and at the same time informing them that oil exploitation should be suspended and that they would be given a month's leave so that they could spend a happy Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, all the petroleum working groups will come to Nanyang to conduct a comprehensive oil survey in Nanyang starting next year.

Gao Junshan knows that there is a large amount of oil in Southeast Asia, where the oil resources are widely distributed, the number of oil fields is large, the scale is small, and the reserves per unit area are abundant. With low sulfur content and low freezing point, it is called "aromatic oil".

Due to the shallow oil layer in Southeast Asia, the formation is simple, and the climatic conditions are good, the mining conditions are very superior. Therefore, Gao Junshan considered that if he wanted to exploit oil, he would first start in Southeast Asia.
