"What is not rich, you kid, is there still a lack of money."

Liu Huayun patted him on the shoulder and joked with a smile.

"Yes, Yuehu, follow your brother-in-law, and the Liu family will definitely earn more silver than these in the future."

On the other side, in the wooden boxes that were being opened one by one, Zhao Lingxin, Meng Yushi, Chen Yuanyuan, Dong Xiaowan, and Alice, who were selecting jade jewelry, also came over with a smile.

After leaving the warehouse, it was dinner time.

"Lingxin, you take the diamond that symbolizes love forever, and when you return to Hangzhou, find a jade craftsman to set it on the ring and necklace, and then give it to Ruoxi and Tingting."

Due to the different sizes of the diamonds given by Van der Sar, Liu Huayun did not take them out and distribute them to the girls at the first time, and at night, after entering Zhao Lingxin's room, he took out the cloth bag and stuffed it into her hands.

"Xianggong, this diamond is so beautiful."

Although Zhao Lingxin was born as a chivalrous woman, she also liked the diamonds that glittered under the candlelight, and after rubbing them for a while, she carefully put them away.

There was no word for the night, and the next morning the housekeeper who was in charge of driving the cows, and the soldiers of a dozen musket battalions, took with them enough coils to go on the road;

After all, it is difficult to send cows to Hangzhou, more than 200 miles away, on foot, without three or four days.

After staying in Ningbo Mansion for two more days and arranging everything here, Liu Huayun and his entourage left here with a large number of goods......

Time is still flickering, and in the blink of an eye, it is the beginning of December.

"Ruoxi, Lingxin, Yushi, slow down, don't move the fetus!"

Outside the Linhu Inn on the shore of Daming Lake in Jinan, Liu Huayun was smiling and said to the three girls who walked down the carriage.

"Mother, aunt, you should be careful."

On the other side, Dong Xiaowan and Chen Yuanyuan also helped Bai Tiantian, who followed, down from the carriage.

Originally, Liu Huayun wanted his father-in-law Lei Tiejun to accompany him, but the old man missed his daughter, and when he was in Hangzhou, he and Lu Feng and others, who transported cows, took a boat from Caoyun to the capital.

This was the twentieth day of their departure from Ningbo and the sixteenth day of their departure from Hangzhou, during which time the first steel ship of Jinling Shipyard had been completed by nearly one-fifth with the cooperation of many skilled craftsmen;

Electric machinery and fuel machinery have also created a lot of spare parts, but the crude oil has not been mined, and it is impossible to test whether it can be successfully started.

Moreover, because they are together every day, Liu Ruoxi, Zhao Lingxin, and Meng Yushi have all shown signs of pregnancy;

This is the reason why it took four or five days for everyone to get the news of the comeback of Northwest Mongolia and Northeast Jurchen, but it took everyone four or five days to arrive in Jinan.

Anyway, Yang Yunzhao, the general of the protector of the country, had already taken the Yang family army and hundreds of new Shenwei cannons to the northwest, and Li Lianglu and Yue Tianyou also led 20,000 musket battalions to Shanhaiguan;

I think that as long as you don't be greedy for merit, it shouldn't be a problem to stick to the advantages of the plug for a year and a half.

All he had to do was to extract oil as soon as possible, extract ethylene, diesel, and gasoline, and improve the use of machinery and firearms on a large scale, so that the invading enemy and the crushed were powerless.

"Mother-in-law, Wan'er, Lingxin, Ruoxi, you stay at the inn first, and when I arrange the affairs of Gezhuang Village, let's go back to the capital."

After a few words of advice to his wives and leaving more than 20 people to protect them, Liu Huayun took Gao Cheng and the remaining musket battalion and went straight to Gezhuang Village.

After nearly two months, the factory building outside Gezhuang Village in Jinan has been completed, except for Xie Yuan, who became Xia Yunfa's son-in-law, and dozens of people who guarded the drilling do not live here;

The soldiers of the 300 engineering battalions have all moved into the new houses.

"Lord Wang, do you want to start the drilling rig now?"

It had been learned from more than 200 craftsmen such as Ma Liang and Zhang Falin, who had come over with a large number of oil drums, so after Liu Huayun came over, Xie Yuan asked respectfully.

"Hmm~~, but before that, we must respect the heavens first......"

In order to please a good omen, Liu Huayun waved his hand, and asked people to take down the table from the car, the incense master, the pig's head and the fruit, etc., and worshiped hundreds of people very religiously.

Buzz ~~~

In the depression outside Gezhuang Village, the drilling wells that had been suspended for half a year were buzzing again;

In the factory, more than 200 craftsmen, under the supervision of Liu Huayun, Ma Liang, Zhang Falin and others, quickly made generators, as well as machinery for electrolyzing crude oil and refining gasoline, diesel and kerosene;

Of course, during this period of time, the Shandong garrison had already gone to Laixi to mine a large amount of graphite, otherwise, the few hundred catties that Liu Huayun bought in Shanxi alone might not be enough.

Perhaps it was their piety that moved the heavens, and then the pipe drill was very easy to enter the ground, and it only took three days for the rock outside the oil layer to be completely penetrated.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not an oil and gas field, so it's honest and don't deceive me."

Looking at the crude oil brought out from under the pipe drill and the oil wells that did not form eruptions, Liu Huayun finally breathed a sigh......

"Xianggong, is it that the oil has been extracted?"

In the evening, looking at Liu Huayun, who had not appeared for three days, but had returned with a smile on his face at this moment, several women on the shore of Daming Lake greeted him at the same time.

"Yes, it's done, in three or five days at most, we can go back to the capital......"

Liu Huayun smiled coquettishly and said so confidently.

The factory in Gezhuang Village only needs to decompose and refine crude oil and temporarily store it, ethylene, propylene, finished gasoline, diesel, petroleum asphalt...... etc., most of them will not be processed and used here;

After all, it is most important to deal with external threats, prepare for the construction of power plants, make insulated wires, a large number of machine tools, and instruct the craftsmen of the Shenji Battalion as soon as possible to get powerful guns and bullets.

Liu Huayun, who has not been in love with his wives for a few days, washed away the dust this night, is inevitably upside down again, which makes Bai Tiantian in the next room can't help blushing and heartbeating.

"Xianggong, is this oil?"

On the morning of the second day, Liu Huayun, who couldn't resist a few wives, had to take them to Gezhuang Village together, looking at the black grease pumped into the oil drum, and the girls couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yes, this is oil, and it is also the most precious black gold in the world in the future, and its extract can be used not only as fuel for cars and ships, but also as a ...... for making toothbrushes and toothpaste containers."

With a coquettish smile, Liu Huayun walked into the factory with a few women, and explained to them while watching hundreds of people busy among them......

"My lord, is it shaking like this?"

Two days later, Xie Yuan stood in front of the first diesel engine filled with lubricating oil and fuel, holding the valve with his left hand, shaking the handle with his right hand, and turned back to Liu Huayun and asked;

Hearing that the machinery was going to be tested, not only Dong Xiaowan, Zhao Lingxin and other women were full of curiosity, but Xia Yuhe, Tao'er, and many men, women and children in Gezhuang Village were watching.
