As the crown prince, what do you do every day?

In this regard, of course, the outside world is very curious, if it were not for the relevant laws that make newspapers unable to report news related to the royal family at will, it is estimated that there will definitely be some newspapers reporting on the life of the royal family, but even so, it does not prevent some third-rate tabloids there from thinking about the life of the royal family, and it is inevitable that they will also think about the life of the crown prince.

It's just that unlike the life of the crown prince imagined by many people in the play, Zhu Fenghaizhu, as the crown prince, is actually not much different from ordinary children every day, the only difference is that his teachers are family teachers, and these family teachers are often the most well-known scholars in domestic universities.

Chinese language, mathematics, geography, nature, science, etc., compared with ordinary children, Zhu Fenghai is even harder, he has to get up at half past six in the morning every day, then run with his father, and then study from 8 to 11 in the morning, and after the class is over from half past two to half past five in the afternoon, he has to put on a military uniform and receive training as an attendant.

As the crown prince, Zhu Fenghai's life is not easy, every afternoon, after an hour of physical training, sweating profusely, he dragged heavy footsteps, towards his father's study, he still has to go there, to "report" to his father

Outside his father's study, Zhu Fenghai knocked on the door that had been opened, and then walked in. Zhu Yifeng raised his head and smiled when he saw his son wearing a physical training uniform, that is, a T-shirt and shorts.

"Oh, how's it going, are you tired from today's training?"

"It's okay, the training is okay."

Zhu Fenghai shook his head,

"However, I felt that if necessary, I should be allowed to practice shooting instead of playing with mud on the training ground."

"Oh, one day, you'll practice shooting, and now, you know, every soldier has to play with what you call mud in training every day, for a day."

"Well, so, we should give the soldiers enough respect because they are really, really hard."

Zhu Fenghai nodded and said, he can understand what his father meant, and an hour of physical training on the training ground can make him appreciate the hard work of soldiers, and then he will always maintain respect for soldiers. Unlike previous dynasties, the Chinese Empire respected military merit, admired soldiers, and respected their honor.

He saw a map spread out on the table in front of his father, a map drawn in thick brown and red lines, with some place names written on it, which looked like the names of places in "Arabian Nights". Zhu Fenghai looked at them curiously.

"Where is that?"

"Persia. Western Persia and eastern Mesopotamia, to be exact. ”

Zhu Yifeng smiled and answered Zhu Fenghai's straightforward interrogation.

"Why? Are we going to occupy there? ”

Despite his young age, Zhu Fenghai also had a strong interest in expanding his territory, and when his father saw a certain place on the map, he would always associate it with military occupation.

"Nope. I'm looking for something. ”

"What?"

"Oil."

Zhu Fenghai was silent for a moment.

"What?"

"Oil."

Zhu Fenghai frowned again. This time his confusion took it a step further.

"Father, if you need oil, there is something in the kitchen, you don't need to go that far."

His son's words made Zhu Yifeng laugh.

"It's not that kind of oil. Is it used to ...... Well, the oil used to light the lamp, and the lubricating oil used to the machine. ”

Zhu Fenghai was about to point out his mistake and tell his uncle that his uncle would be happy to send a few barrels of oil if needed, but Zhu Yifeng continued.

"Son, the reason why my father wants oil is not because my father needs such a thing, but because in the future, our country needs it."

"The state needs it?"

Nodding, Zhu Yifeng said.

"Oil, son, you have to remember that in the coming decades, this will be the most important mineral resource. His father wanted to buy the right to explore and exploit oil in Persia. If oil can be found there, it can be shipped back to the country in batches. When the oil gets to the country, you can refine gasoline, kerosene, and sell it to anyone who owns a motor vehicle — anyone who owns an engine, and, exactly, of course, those areas that don't have electricity, where they use oil lamps. ”

Zhu Fenghai's eyes were as big as copper bells. He couldn't say why, but he felt he was listening to a very important truth. He sat down and stared at the map.

"Persia?"

He raised his head and asked, Father,

"Persia has oil?"

"I hope so, judging by the history books, there must be oil there."

"Where is Persia?"

"Underground, maybe even thousands of meters underground."

"Like a coal mine?"

"Yes, it's a bit like a coal mine."

"If we can dig up oil, are we going to take it?"

"We don't have to occupy it, we can get the oil there in other ways, like investing there."

While speaking, Zhu Yifeng did one thing, one thing that would change his son's life forever. He carried the eight-year-old to the table and looked at him at eye level.

"Son, do you want to know a secret?"

Looking at his father, Zhu Fenghai nodded without hesitation.

"Think, father, please tell me, I will definitely keep it a secret."

Zhu Yifeng paused for a moment, and looked very serious when he looked at his son.

"Oil is the future, and we have the largest oil field in the world in this colony in the Persian Gulf, but let's not exploit it now, we have to exploit the oil fields elsewhere."

Zhu Yifeng said to his son in an affirmative tone.

"Oil is the fuel of the new century. Cars need it, ships need it, factories need it, and our lives simply cannot be separated from it. Whoever can find oil will make unimaginable wealth. It's not just wealth – they're going to be the kings of the world, because the whole world will look up to him, because he's in control of the world's ......"

The reason why Zhu Yifeng said this is because in the future, the reason why those Arab tyrants will be able to succeed on the world stage, but they will be ignored by the major powers when they export extremist religious and even terrorist activities, is that oil, which brings huge wealth.

Now, despite the fact that through negotiations with France and Russia, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of desert from Kuwait to the Persian Gulf coast of the South Arabian Peninsula already belong to China, where the world's largest oil fields are buried, he still has his eyes on the other side and to Persia.

If he could, he would like to be able to extract Persian oil for decades first, and let the "worthless" desert, which has been zoned as all owned by China, continue to be impoverished for decades to come. The oil there belongs to the future.

That night, after Zhu Yifeng's family gathering, he had an in-depth conversation with Xu Shushan. A few weeks later, a cousin of Xu Shushan's clan left Guangzhou and embarked on a ship bound for New Fuzhou.

New Fuzhou is a small city located on the edge of the Jafura Desert on the edge of the Persian Gulf, this small city was built in Kaihong five years, which is according to the secret agreement of the "St. Petersburg Treaty" signed by China, France and Russia, the Jafurah Desert area was included in China, and then, China planned two cities, one is to build the estuary city after the city of Kuwait is razed, and the other is a completely new new Fuzhou, and the city is called "New Fuzhou", because the first batch of immigrants here are from Fujian, and because of this, Most of the restaurants in this city are Fujian restaurants, although they are Fujian restaurants, but for Xu Linchuan, this is nothing, the only thing that he can't stand is that he hasn't eaten pork in the four months he has been here.

"What has pork?"

Again, after learning from the shopkeeper that there was no pork, Xu Linchuan complained again.

"Why is there no pork yet, two weeks ago, when I asked you, didn't you say that by this month at the latest, the pig farms outside the city will be able to be released? Don't say that those natives can't stand the smell, I've been here for a few months, and I haven't seen a single Bedouin, at most, there are some prostitutes in the brothel, let's eat pork, and if those grandsons say nothing, Lao Tzu will shoot him directly......"

Maybe it's because he hasn't eaten pork for a few months, and when Xu Linchuan speaks, he looks like he wants to kill someone. He has had enough of this day, it's either fish or mutton all day long, and he even feels that he is about to have a smell of mutton, although the barbecued mutton skewers he ate at his uncle's house taste delicious, but God knows, if he eats mutton every day, he can really eat crazy, especially on such a hot day, why do you get angry if you eat too much mutton......

In the past few days, Xu Linchuan even felt that when he urinated, he was so panicked that he wanted to eat lighter, and he couldn't eat mutton anymore......

"This guest officer, I'm really sorry, it's really not those things that are tangled up, they, can they get up? If you provoke Lao Tzu, turn around and take a torch where it came from, anyway, it's where a stone is placed......"

As soon as he saw that the guests were angry, the shopkeeper hurriedly explained, like most people in China, he also treats those guys who are in China but have a heart in heaven, this kind of hatred of the house and the psychology of the black, naturally for those who eat sand in the desert, they are also not welcome, not to mention, they are indeed not welcome.

"In this pig farm, more than a dozen pigs have just come out, this is not a Russian warship docking, the governor bought all the pigs in order to entertain the Russian sailors, and he didn't leave us at all!"

"Russian sailors?"

Xu Linchuan was surprised, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to the shopkeeper.

"You mean, the pork is all in the Doge's Mansion now?"

"Not in the Governor's Palace anyway, it's on a Russian warship."

As soon as the shopkeeper's words fell, Xu Linchuan had already gotten up and walked outside the store.

"Young Master Xu, where are you going......

"Eat meat!"

Xu Linchuan shouted without looking back.

"Go to the Doge's Mansion and eat pork!"

Of course, the reason why Xu Linchuan went to the Governor's Mansion was not to eat pork, maybe he wanted to eat pork, but now, he valued the opportunity in front of him.

The reason why Xu Linchuan came here was because he was on a mission, and he needed to complete what his cousin told him to accomplish - to win the exploration rights and oil exploration rights in Persia.

Of course, he can't appear in the official name, at most he can only be in the name of a distant relative of the queen's mother, or the kind that is not angry, if he is angry, he will not be kicked to the colony.

The current Xu Linchuan is just a small businessman in the colony, a small businessman who is unwilling to accept fate. came to the Governor's Palace, because almost the entire New Fuzhou knew that he was a distant relative of the queen's mother, so naturally no one would stop him.

"You're here for the Russians?"

Almost as soon as he saw Xu Linchuan, Sun Xingping pointed out his intention.

"That's right, now Persia is the territory of the Russians, I have been here for a few months, just to find an opportunity to meet a high-ranking Russian official, and then enter Persia, otherwise, such a venture into it, the opportunity is not great, looking for oil there, without the help of the Russians will definitely not be easy."

Sun Xingping shook his head, then paused.

"Pilsudski, but only a lieutenant commander in the navy, is not a high-ranking officer."

"Oh, Lieutenant Colonel, it's not too small, you can't expect a general to come here, if that's the case, I won't be here. After all, we have to handle this matter in private, and a lieutenant colonel is about the same......"

"Well, that's right, but how do you think Pilsudski will help you?"

"Money!"

Xu Linchuan spat out a word.

"As long as you give him enough money, he will definitely help me, he is only a lieutenant colonel, as long as you send me to his ship, I will definitely be able to convince him ......"

This is exactly why he did not choose a general, whose rank is too high and the price of bribery is too high.

Looking at the fanaticism on Xu Linchuan's face, Sun Xingping couldn't help but laugh.

"To be honest, I really don't know why Lord Xu chose you, at least I didn't know the reason until today, but now I know, because you're more eager than anyone else to do this-"

"Will you help me?"

"What do you say?"

There was a sudden silence at the dining table, and then Sun Xingping said in a serious tone.

"You must know that you are there, it is almost impossible to get our help, after all, we are allies with the Russians now, and it will last for a long time, and you can't affect the current war because of your actions."

Xu Linchuan laughed.

"It's just business!"

Xu Linchuan explained with a smile,

"Just a business".

Xu Linchuan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he looked into the distance and said.

"The Russians may annex Persia in the future, but for us it's just a business, what we need is to fix it all in before the Russians annex it, and that's what I'm going there for? Ally? Of course, allies also have to obey the law, don't they? ”

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Xu Linchuan looked at the governor in front of him and asked rhetorically.

"As for the war, how long do you think it will last?"

(Oil is important, there's no doubt about it, but we only need oil, so the Arabian Peninsula only needs the desert that borders the Persian Gulf, and as for the few nomads in the desert, well, as an embellishment...... That's all! ）
