[Add a more chapter, please take care of lunch!] Reward recommendation, come quickly]

Zhang He took Jiang Sheng and his party to the place where the black oil was found, "Lord, this is it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Jiang Sheng heard the smell and felt unusually familiar, this black oil was used in the four-wheeled vehicles of later generations, it was nothing else, it was oil.

Jiang Sheng was overjoyed and said with a smile: "This is oil, an indispensable fuel for industrialization." ”

Everyone is in the clouds, "industrialization"? What is this?

Zhang He said: "Can this thing be used as fuel?" Then let's heat and light the lamp, and we will take it. ”

"How did you find out?"

"According to the drawings, this is the location of the southeast watchtower, and when I brought people over to level the land, I dug up the rocks, and the oil, ah, the oil flowed out."

The territory under the jurisdiction of Le'an includes the Shengli Oilfield of later generations, but now the Yellow River Delta has not yet been formed, and oil on this mountain is extremely rare, Jiang Sheng analyzed that it may be that Le'an has had crustal changes, this mountain sank to the bottom of the sea, and gradually piled up out of the Yellow River Delta, so there is a Shengli Oilfield in later generations.

"Junyi, this southeast watchtower has been moved forward five miles, and this place is reserved for the use of oil, but it must be remembered that there must be no fire here, once it is ignited, this mountain may be bulldozed."

The scale of the cottage has expanded a lot, and it is unrealistic not to be exposed, because although the mountain is vast, it is a hill after all, and it is okay to stay above the halfway up the mountain, and it can be covered by the cover of the woodland, and now it extends for five miles, and the walled wall is almost to the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Sheng said: "Le'an is already under my control, if it is exposed, it will be exposed." ”

"My lord, if there is criticism in the court, it will be difficult to deal with it." In the forbidden road.

"The remnants of the Yellow Turban are still rampant here, and Ben Taishou can't do it without soldiers."

Xiahou Lan said: "This is called raising thieves with self-respect!" Haha-"

"Zilan really hit the nail on the head, the yellow scarf has not been extinguished, this is too guarded to govern the party, there must be enough power to suppress thieves."

There are a lot of impurities in the naturally extracted oil, and the smoke is very large, Jiang Sheng denied Xiahoulan's idea of lighting a lamp with oil in Taishou Mansion, and he Jiang Sheng didn't want to be choked to death.

In order to expand Le'an's military strength, Jiang Sheng sent a letter to Chu Yan, asking Chu Yan to transfer 3,000 elites into Le'an in batches, and then use the original 600 elite cavalry as officers to divide these 3,000 elites.

Jiang Sheng ordered Yu Ban to be the commander, Xiahou Lan and Zhang He to participate in the military, and Deng Mao to be the general, and officially formed this standing army to guard Le'an.

You have to use money to raise soldiers, whether it is material supplies or ordnance and equipment, money is used everywhere, Jiang Sheng has not thought about the glow-in-the-dark jade in the secret cave of Changshan, so he pondered the caravan of the Zhen family.

The Zhen family in Zhongshan Wuji has dozens of caravans, mainly engaged in the management of grain and grass, because the government and the cottages are in need of grain and grass, so the Zhen family can eat the underworld and the white way, and their caravans are rarely robbed, Jiang Sheng is interested in the advantages of the Zhen family's two roads, and decided to hand over the private salt trade to the Zhen family to do.

When Zhen Yi received this news, he did not immediately set up a camp, trafficking in illicit salt was a capital crime, and he couldn't easily stake the fate of the entire family.

Jiang Sheng decided to go to see Zhen Yi in person, and when he walked to Yecheng, he met Wang Fen and his friends going out of the city.

When Jiang Sheng was imprisoned, Wang Fen was rushing to Luoyang to try to rescue Jiang Sheng, and when he was halfway there, he heard that Jiang Sheng had been released, so he did not go to Luoyang, but returned to Yecheng.

"Jiang Taishou, what a coincidence, how could I meet you here?" Wang Fen came over to say hello.

"It turned out to be Wang Thorn History, and some time ago, thanks to Lord Thorn Shi's many efforts, Xia Guan was able to survive. Thank you very much! ”

"Zicheng's words are wrong, everyone knows that the ten permanent servants harm Zhongliang, I just do my duty. I don't know where the son wants to go? ”

"The Zhen family of Zhongshan Wuji has done a lot to rescue me, and I am going to go to the door to thank me."

"I wonder if I'm in a hurry? If you are not in a hurry, stay in Yecheng for a few days, and the official will also enter the friendship of the landlord. ”

"There are a lot of official affairs, so I won't delay, thank you for your kindness."

"Okay, then there will be a date later." Wang Fen said.

"There will be a date later!" Jiang Sheng bid farewell to Wang Fen and continued to go north.

Wang Fen shouted from afar: "Ziyuan is lucky!" ”

Jiang Sheng was very familiar with this name when he heard it, but wasn't it the word of Xu Yu? When he turned around, he was already gone, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore and went straight to Wuji Zhen's house.

Zhen Yi was very surprised by Jiang Sheng's visit, and hurriedly welcomed him into the village and greeted him politely.

"The day before yesterday, I was unjustly imprisoned, thanks to the Zhen family, Zicheng thanked me."

"Huh? Where does Zicheng speak? You are the benefactor of the Zhen family, and the Zhen family should come forward, I don't know what happened to Zicheng's visit? ”

"I'll just say it bluntly, now Le'an is in urgent need of money, and I plan to make a fuss about salt. There are more than 40 salt farms in Le'an, except for a few operated by private salt traders, all of which are managed by our county guard, but the salt produced is difficult to sell, so I hope that the Zhen family caravan will be involved in this trade. ”

"Shaofu has its own caravan specializing in salt and iron, so why should Zicheng bother?"

"Adults don't know, these salt farms are already closed down in Shaofu." Jiang Sheng looked at Zhen Yi.

Zhen Yi immediately understood that Jiang Sheng wanted to keep these salt taxes for himself.

"What is Zicheng doing with so much money? Is it a private arm? ”

"Exactly! Qingzhou Yellow Turban is like a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen, constantly resurrecting, if Le'an does not have a certain number of troops, then Le'an will become a world of rogues, I have to think about it. ”

"I'd love to help you, but the stakes are high, I can't joke with the fate of the whole family, please wait until I discuss it with the elders of the clan before making plans."

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news."

Zhen Yi settled Jiang Sheng to live at Zhen's house, and then went to discuss the issue of salt trade.

Jiang Sheng lived in Zhen's house until the twelfth day of the first month, and Zhen Yi gave a reply and agreed to Jiang Sheng's proposal, but he had to try a few times first, and if he was safe and sound, he would officially take over.

"Don't worry, this salt is not transported to the Central Plains, but through Jizhou, Youzhou, transported to the outside of the Saiwai, Xianbei departments have a large demand for salt, and I also need iron ore outside the Saiwai. As for security, Jizhou has its own Chu Yan to take care of, and Youzhou is too busy defending against foreigners to take care of these, so I asked Chu Yan to send elite people to turn into executioners and escort the caravan out of the country. ”

"Chu Yan? What Zicheng said is that Chu Yan? "Only a few henchmen know about the relationship between Chu Yan and Jiang Sheng, so Zhen Yi will ask this.

"Don't hide it from your lord, although Chu Yan is a Zhonglang general worshiped by the imperial court, she is actually my person, this matter is very important, I hope your lord will keep it secret."

Chu Yan is known as 100,000 elite soldiers, he stomped his feet, Jizhou had to move, with Chu Yan's care, it would be much easier to sell illicit salt outside the plug.
