2381 Oil Merchant
"Oh my God. There are so many www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, but fortunately we did not send troops, otherwise, the situation is really unimaginable. Yang Duanhe was very happy when he saw the telegram sent by Wang Qian.
"Sir, can you confirm this information?" Bai Xi was still a little unconvinced, he felt that there were not so many Goguryeo people.
"I don't believe it either, but the information comes from the Prime Minister's Office, and it has already been said above. The news given by the Qi people that the Qi people have contacts with the Goguryeo people, not only that, but this number has been converted and there are so many. Our total strength is just over 30,000. But to eat the other party at once, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, and most importantly, the other party is also equipped with firearms. If we continue to fight like this, we will not be in a very favorable position, and besides, we are not in a good situation now. Yang Duanhe said.
"There are no reinforcements, the logistics can't keep up, and the organization is chaotic, and there are many problems, and the Qin army is probably extremely unfavorable to fight in its current state." Yang Duanhe said.
"The most important point." Yang Duanhe thought about it and said.
"The situation in the Great Wan Kingdom is probably not good for the Qin State. Otherwise, such a thing as peace talks would not have come out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Yang Duanhe said.
"So, sir, what's next. How will it develop? Bai Xi asked.
"I don't know. Judging from the current situation, peace talks may be the best way, but before the peace talks, the situation on the battlefield is the bargaining chip on the negotiating table of our Qin State. Yang Duanhe said.
"The more favorable the Qin army fights, the more favorable the situation at the negotiating table will be, and the greater the benefits for the Qin state." Yang Duanhe said.
"Hmm. In this case, I still think that it is necessary to increase the number of troops. Bai Xi said.
"It's hard to increase troops." Yang Duanhe said.
Sinzheng, South Korea.
"Well done." Han Shu slapped the table and called. Han Shu quickly received a telegram and reported Qin's reaction to Zhang Liang's diplomatic move, so that South Korea could go all out to deal with it. Han Shu has a lot of praise for Zhang Liang's ability.
"Your Majesty." The Minister of Security looked at the Queen.
"Hmph, you're not done yet." Han Shu immediately became serious.
"There is no difference between the police and the ruffians on the streets." Han Shu was very annoyed with the security of Xinzheng, South Korea, so she ordered the mobilization of two military police regiments into Xinzheng, South Korea to maintain law and order. As a result, the police system in Sinzheng, South Korea, began to be paralyzed. Faced with such a situation, the Minister of Security has also been directly held accountable.
"In view of the fact that your behavior has seriously damaged the interests of South Korea, you should go home and reflect on it." Han Shu gave the order. This means that he was directly removed from his official position.
"This." The Minister of Security felt that he had been very aggrieved by what he had done, and that he had done nothing and was dismissed. I didn't even have a chance to appeal, which was so disappointing.
"And say, have you turned Sinzheng, South Korea into something, a paradise for crime?" Han Shu said annoyedly.
"I'm going to get rid of all these criminals right now. Purge them to the islands of the South Seas and exile them completely. Han Shu announced the fate of those people in annoyance. Exile, on the one hand, solves the problem of insufficient labor for South Korea to develop the South Seas, and on the other hand, accelerates the development of the South Seas.
Within the territory of Qi State. Meng Luo, an oil merchant of the Qin State, and his only son walked on the road. They used to be a four-wheeled carriage, but on the roads of the Qi Kingdom, the carriage was very inconvenient to drive, so they changed to a carriage. Later, the horses were no longer good. Then the horses were exchanged for an ox cart. This is perhaps the most common state in Qi at present, and the infrastructure is extremely weak.
"Daddy. What are we doing in Qi Kingdom? Meng Luo's son Meng Qi asked.
"Extracting oil." Meng Luo replied. He squinted his eyes and dozed off while catching the car, Meng Luo, like other people from the Qin Kingdom, also sought a dream of getting rich quickly at the beginning, he had been to the Western Regions and had done business with the Yue people, but unfortunately, the things he sold were too ordinary. It turned out to be some clothing, and he lost a lot of money, and finally had to come back, and then later, he went to the northern region of Qin to do oil business, but unfortunately, he spent a lot of money to buy the land, not a drop of oil was played, and Meng Luo, who spent a lot of money, was unwilling, he heard that oil was also found in the Hexi Corridor, but it had been bought by the locals, and in desperation, he decided to go to Qi to go around. Because the Qi country also has fierce fire oil. He decided to try his luck because he was in his thirties. Nothing came of it. He was not reconciled.
"Dad, is this oil owned by Qi State?" The son asked worriedly.
"Yes, a lot, this oil, in the Qin State, is at most fuel oil, and there is a lot of kerosene. The demand is huge. Meng Luo introduced. Although the Qin State has invented the generator, this generator can only be popularized in large cities, or can be used by the military, for example, Xianyang, Lantian, Taiyuan, or Guyang in the north of the Qin State, and most of the Qin State still use kerosene lamps, which are much brighter than ordinary oil lamps and candles. Therefore, kerosene lamps, as well as kerosene also occupy a large market share, in this way, the first batch of oil merchants appeared in the Qin State, they specialized in oil refining, especially the improvement of petroleum refining technology, the Qin people have learned to use platinum for catalytic technology, which is a very fast technology, this technology blows the oil production of the Qin State.
"Especially in the country of Qi, you have also seen it in the recent newspapers, and the battlefield consumed nearly 500,000 barrels of fuel at one time." Meng Luo said like a few treasures.
"And along the way, although there are electric lights in big cities, but this electric light is not something that ordinary people can use, only rich people can use it, and this kerosene lamp is still the vast majority. They have to work in the night. Lighting is needed, so there is a big market for this kerosene, and we went to Qi to do this kind of business, son, remember. This oil is the biggest business. Meng Luo repeatedly admonished.
"Daddy remembered." Meng Qiqi nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Dad, in the future, I will work with you to get oil and sell it everywhere." Meng Luo said.
"Hmm. Yes, but you have to make a lot of money, and you can do that by selling kerosene and refining oil. Wait until you have the money. It's time for you to get married, too. We should have more people in our family. Monlo planned. That's one of his goals.
"Oh." Meng Qi just nodded.
