Walking around the new city built by Yan Ming, Wei Qing found that the people here actually spoke Chinese.

"Speaking Chinese, it's all your credit?" Wei Qing asked with a smile.

Yan Ming nodded and said, "Here, Chinese is the official language. ”

"Official language?" Wei Qing repeated.

Yan Ming said: "All official places use Chinese, so that after a long time, it will naturally become popular." Now the children here are in school. The population is not large, and there are so many adults that they can afford to send their children to school. So, too much tuition and fees are also forfeited. ”

"Good, good." Wei Qing said yes three times, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, the popularization of compulsory education has not been done too smoothly. ”

Yan Ming thought for a while and said, "No, King Huainan is a capable person, and this little thing will not be bad." ”

Wei Qing sighed and said, "The situation is complicated, and it is not easy to promote. ”

Yan Ming didn't ask any more.

Seeing Yan Ming's attitude, Wei Qing didn't say much about the court.

"By the way, Big Brother is back." Wei Qing said.

"Big brother? He's all right. Yan Ming asked.

Dongfang Shuo has since received orders from the imperial court to explore to the north. Yan Ming is quite worried. Now that I heard that he had returned, I was not so worried.

"It's good, it's a lot stronger. The eldest brother actually brought back a woman with a high nose and deep eye sockets, who doesn't speak human words, only the eldest brother can say a few words to her, and it is not much. Wei Qing said with a smile.

Yan Ming thought about it for a while, and knew that what Wei Qing was talking about must be a woman from ancient Russia. White skin, deep eye sockets. Big legs, big breasts, big fart. Share.

Sure enough, as soon as Yan Ming said it, Wei Qing immediately admitted it.

"Many people say that what this woman speaks is different from the Xiongnu dialect, and the pronunciation is different from that of any of the surrounding tribes, and she is a Rakshasa ghost." Wei Qing said with a smile.

Yan Ming also laughed and said, "The eldest brother has the most say in this matter." Where did the woman come from, let the eldest brother explain it. ”

"The eldest brother said that there is a country in the north, what is it called, he doesn't know. I gave it a name, called the Rakshasa Country. When he said it, no one believed it. The eldest brother also said that the farther north you go, the colder it gets, and there will be colorful ribbons in the sky in the middle of the night. In the end, there are even times when the sky is long white or long dark. I was going to go further north. But the followers can flee from the dead. When the eldest brother returned, a few people were left to follow. Wei Qing said.

Yan Ming really admired Dongfang Shuo, and he really walked to a place close to the North Pole. and the regions where the polar day and night occur, which is completely the Arctic.

Learn about Dongfang Shuo with Wei Qing, and talk about Gongsun Ao.

Wei Qing also carefully asked about some things in Xincheng, and the two brothers were together for a few days, and then they said goodbye.

After Wei Qing left, Dahan's side was silent for a while. No more envoys were sent.

Han Yan and his people had already crossed the river on the edge of the new city and began to develop eastward.

Hu Deyong, as the current infrastructure captain, naturally has to follow Han Yan to explore.

Yan Ming divided political affairs into many parts, and according to the administrative institutions of later generations, he was idle. It's okay to teach.

Mo Zheng and Da Lao Chen were tinkering, and the two of them actually studied the drawings of the steam engine again according to Da Lao Chen's memory.

The drawings were shown to Yan Ming, but Yan Ming was taken aback.

Although the drawings designed by the two men were a little heavier than the finished products they copied, they definitely looked like that.

What's more, the ink kite has been changed in many places, making this machine more in line with the assembly process of this era.

"You can look into it." Yan Ming added with a smile: "Let my older children here give you a hand." Knowledge is always dead, and only after practice can we learn and apply it. ”

Yan Ming's request, Mo Zheng and Da Lao Chen both agreed.

For education, Mo Zheng has more say in it, he immediately went to the school to find a few children who usually talk about mechanical mechanics and let them participate.

The days are as calm as flowing water.

In this quiet day, Han Yan kept sending letters.

They had come to a place where plains and swamps were intertwined. Hu Deyong said that the feng shui here is good, and decided to build a city.

Yan Ming didn't care, and replied to Han Yan and Hu Deyong with a smile. Let them do it themselves on the outside. In addition, it is to have a good relationship with the local indigenous people and spread and expand the Han culture.

Han Yan's reply arrived quickly.

In the letter, Han Yan ridiculed Yan Ming. Say that the place is desolate, full of swamps, meadows. Not to mention the indigenous, there is not even a trace of personal activity. There are wolves and all kinds of wild animals. Some of the careless people these days have been hurt by the wolves.

Looking at the letter, Han Yan ridiculed his words, Yan Ming could imagine Han Yan's handsome face.

In just a month, an urgent letter of 800 miles from Han Yan was delivered.

"What's the situation?" Yan Ming took the eight-hundred-mile urgent letter and opened it.

The letter said that the city built by Hu Deyong was the same as Yan Ming's previous routine, which was to dig deep into the foundation and do a good job in the city's water supply, drainage and flood prevention system, and then build the city.

But just as the foundation was being dug, something big happened.

In some places, it was dug a little deeper, and a black sticky substance flowed out. There was even some gas coming out.

Some people fainted on the spot, and several people died. A few lucky ones didn't die, and when they woke up, they were in a mess, as if they had been hollowed out by the devil.

The letter said that it was not dug into the devil's lair that it would be like this.

At present, the excavated place has been refilled by Hu Deyong. And kowtow and burn incense on it to show respect.

When Yan Ming saw this, cold sweat came down.

In this world, there are no ghosts at all.

Thinking of the Everglades mentioned in the previous letter, the savannahs are intertwined. Isn't that the place where the oil fields came out later, the black thing, isn't it the oil?

It stands to reason that oil should be deep underground, but the oil has been dug out of the earth here, compared to some crustal movements, which squeezed out the oil underground.

Underground gases include methane or carbon monoxide.

Those people inhaled these gases in the pit and died naturally. Immortal brain cells are deprived of oxygen and broken, and they will also become stupid. It has nothing to do with the devil at all.

But what Hu Deyong did was a big thing that killed him.

This guy actually buried the dug place again, and then burned incense and kowtowed on it, and started these useless things.

Tell him how many times that there are no ghosts and gods in this world, and those things are just people's beliefs. But this kid is usually a ghost elf, but at a critical moment, he actually dropped the chain.

Yan Ming decided to go over by himself. The discovery of oil, that is no small matter. If you are really sure, you have to find a way to make use of such an important thing.
