Chapter 190 Large Thermal Oil Mine

"I don't know the secret recipe of gunpowder, but if you have oil, you may not have it anywhere else......" Fan Xueyi squeezed out a smile on her face, and said with some pride: "You said it yourself, that is the known origin of fire oil, in fact, there are some secret fire oil production areas that are not known to outsiders." For example, there is a thermal oil mine in my Linyi, and it is also a large-scale thermal oil mine, which can produce more than a dozen barrels of thermal oil every day. It's just that we also know the truth that wealth is not exposed, especially when the enemy is strong and I am weak. Therefore, for the thermal oil mine, we did not publicize it, but secretly mined it, otherwise if people knew all this, you Datang would definitely come earlier than now - or it may not be only you Datang.

It's just that looking at the current situation, the output of thermal oil in this thermal oil mine is far more than a dozen barrels, and it is obvious that someone is deducting it in the middle. ”

"What? Is there a kerosene mine here? Or is it large? Everyone in the camp was shocked, and then there was great joy, although the power of fire oil is not as good as explosives, but it is also very useful, such as making incendiary bombs, which will burn a large piece when it is hit, and it will definitely die if it sticks to it, and it will die next to it. In addition to the war, oil also has a great role in industry, such as lubrication, as a lubricant, the price of oil can be much cheaper than the price of edible oil, and the output is more sufficient.

It's just that although the price of thermal oil is lower, the number of thermal oil mines in Datang is not large after all (everyone knows this), and most of them are poor mines, so in the face of the demand of both military and civilian, thermal oil is still in short supply.

Therefore, if you can find a fire oil mine, you can definitely make a fortune, even if you hand it over to the state, you can also get a large amount of reward, which is enough for the family to live comfortably for a lifetime.

For a while, everyone's eyes were wrong, and the gaze that looked at Fan Xueyi was no longer appreciative, but with a green light, just like a group of old bachelors seeing a beautiful woman without clothes, like wolves.

"Ah~" Where had Fan Xueyi seen such naked eyes, she was suddenly startled, and almost fell, and when she came back to her senses, she figured out this kind of joint, and asked slightly tentatively: "If I hand over the oil mine to Datang, can I change the opportunity to leave a lone seedling for my Fan family?" ”

Glaring at this group of unproductive glances viciously, Xue Rengui considered Fan Xueyi's opinion for a while, and felt that it should be fine, so he said, "This...... It should be no problem, but your lone seedling cannot be more than ten years old, and you must be educated in Datang culture, especially the last point, you must follow it unconditionally. ”

Although the words were harsh, Xue Rengui's mind was no longer on this, and he completely pounced on the fire oil.

A whole large oil mine, just for the life of a child less than ten years old, Xue Rengui can still call the shots.

And what Fan Xueyi didn't know was that although Lin Yi was relegated to slavery throughout the country, there was one kind of person who was an exception, that is, children under the age of sixteen and young women. The role of the young women naturally does not need to be mentioned, and it is natural to bring them back and reward them as wives to the meritorious soldiers and increase the population of the Tang Dynasty.

The children, on the other hand, will not be relegated to slaves, but will be put into academies around the country or directly into the Boys' Army for the strictest brainwashing education.

After five to seven years, the guarantee released is the high-level elites who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty - anyway, even if these children are invested in the Liyu Division, they will not produce much value, it is better to train them well and become qualified talents.

Datang is not short of money now, what is most lacking is population, which is also one of the reasons why Datang is obviously strong and powerless, but has not expanded outward - even if you can lay a vast territory, without the people to settle in, what is the use of laying a territory?

It's not that Datang hasn't thought about including Linyi people in Datang, but as I said before, Linyi people are lazy and their worldview has been formed, and including them in Datang will only bring trouble to Datang, and it won't produce much value at all. What's more, Lin Yi has done such a crime against the Tang Dynasty, and rashly including them will only cause opposition and rejection from the local people.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Zhen chose to be under the age of ten years old, children of this age are at the age of not understanding, the world view has not yet been formed, as long as a little training, they can completely turn them into Datang people, without worrying about their backlash in the future, not only to increase talents, but also to increase the population, killing two birds with one stone.

Fan Xueyi didn't know this, she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and hurriedly said gratefully: "Yes, my eldest brother's youngest son is only eight years old this year, and he can fully meet your conditions, thank you very much." ”

Xue Rengui's last condition, Fan Xueyi has no opinion at all - as I said before, in this year, Datang's status is the world's first power, and its influence is probably several times stronger than that of the American imperialists in later generations.

The Tang Dynasty is a strong country, and the culture naturally attracts many people to come to study Han culture, and I don't know how many foreign students are attracted to study in the Tang Dynasty every year, and the farthest even reaches Greece.

It's just that although Datang is tolerant of all rivers, the degree of review of these foreign students is quite strict (mainly because of the influence of Li Zhen, he knows too well how generous Datang is, and the reason why the Wa Kingdom can develop rapidly, among which Datang definitely contributes a lot. Not to mention anything else, so many Tang envoys are sent to Datang to study every year, and they naturally bring their knowledge back after they go back, or the whole of East Asia is under the influence of Datang before cultural enlightenment begins), if you can't pass this review, then I'm sorry, where did you come from or where do you go back, and you won't show any mercy.

Such a precious learning opportunity turned out to be an additional price for himself, Datang actually took the initiative to let his nephew learn Han culture, Fan Xueyi was too late to be happy, how could he object?

But if she knew that she had just made a chicken deal with a precious oil mine, I wonder if she would vomit blood in anger?

"Go on." Xue Rengui was about to go crazy laughing in his heart, but he still couldn't help but smile and said, "Next, what did you do?" ”

"There's nothing to do next, I've already picked up the gunpowder and explosives......" Fan Xueyi suddenly shuddered: "You don't know how many flickers and explosives they have buried in the Singha Bura City - if all these fire oils and explosives are ignited, then the entire Sangha Bura will be destroyed, and you, as conquerors, will also die in this disaster and become the burial objects of the Singha Bura......"
