Chivalry.

"Oil industry", the base.

It is a busy place, because of the support of the emperor's silver, so the cause here is very prosperous, as the emperor expected, it has gathered a lot of hungry people, which can be regarded as a lot of efforts to calm the natural disasters in Shaanxi.

Although this oil industry base is very prosperous, in recent days, the "head" of this oil industry base has not been very happy.

Li Yanyi has been deaf and deaf recently, this day is getting more and more sad day by day, he proposed to use the method of refining lard to refine oil, this is no problem, the refined things are more than enough to be used as lamp oil, but the problem is that his scale has never been able to go up, the reason is that the market is not good, the scale is too large, burn the emperor's silver, even if the emperor is open to let him burn, but his heart is blocked, huā's silver is too much, this silver is enough to bury him. The reason why the market can't be opened is not that the cost of refining oil is too high, but that it can't be shipped out, this Shaanxi is a poor place, and the places that can afford oil are really pitiful, and to be shipped out of Shaanxi, this will suddenly raise the cost, the larger his scale, the more oil will be backlogged in his oil industrial base, so the days are getting harder and harder day by day.

"How's it going, how did they talk to Lord Song?" , Li Yanyi's daughter-in-law Ma Lan Huā saw her husband returning home dejected, and immediately asked.

"Alas, what else can I do, this place in Shaanxi is not ordinary poor, although Lord Song said that he was willing to build roads, but there is no silver, what do you tell me to do? We can only repair the ...... ourselves", Li Yanyi replied dejectedly.

Although Li Yanyi's daughter-in-law Ma Lan Huā is a female streamer, she is a master of the house in this oil industry base, and many things are Ma Lan Huā's decision, such as asking Li Yanyi to talk to the local government about road construction, that is, Ma Lan Huā asked Li Yanyi to go, Li Yanyi himself is a cook, except for the cook's business, he is far less knowledgeable and thoughtful than Ma Lan Huā.

If it weren't for Ma Lan Huā being a woman, she wouldn't have let Li Yanyi go out with the horsewhip given by the emperor and the washboard given by the queen in her hand, in this part of Shaanxi, everyone has to let her score three points, so the magistrates are also very good at talking, but unfortunately, it is good to talk but there is no silver, and the road cannot be repaired, so the oil will not be easy to transport, the oil cannot be transported, and the output will not be raised, and the oil will be piled up at home.

"Boss, we have to find a way! This road construction, it seems that it is useless to just talk to Lord Song, this Shaanxi is already poor, and if we want to transport our oil out of Shaanxi, we have to find a way to do it......," Ma Lan Huā said confidently.

Ma Lan Huā is not as helpless as he was to marry Li Yanyi as a daughter-in-law earlier, but now, he is an extremely strong person in this oil industry base and Yan'an Mansion, which can be regarded as a famous "arrogant", "domineering", the woman in and out of the same as the man, almost no evasion, Ma Lan Huā is not such a person, it is a small jasper, but now she seems to have changed someone for nothing else, she only knows that people should know how to repay the favor, and the emperor has a great favor in her family" She has to reciprocate, The emperor asked her husband to come to Shaanxi to refine oil, to accommodate as many people as possible to work, to give more people a bite to eat, then their family had to do everything possible to complete the things the emperor explained, but unfortunately, Li Yanyi is a cook after all, and he has congenital deficiencies in many things, such as operating the oil base, and trying to find a way to sell, Li Yanyi is obviously much worse.

Fortunately, Malan Huā is also a small family, not the kind of pampered woman, and she has a royal whip and washboard in her hands, so her identity is more popular than Li Yanyi, and she explains to all kinds of people, others can not give Li Yanyi face, but she has to give Malan Huā face, otherwise, as soon as her whip comes out, everyone has to kneel on the ground and shout Long live, no one's face is good-looking, after experiencing a few times Ma Lan Huā took a whip on the spot to teach her husband a lesson, Yan'an Mansion is a place, Even if a consensus has been reached, for the sake of her own better, for the sake of her own face, it is better not to worry about this "evil girl", let her let her, Ma Lan Huā gradually gave full play to her potential and true colors, and began to do all kinds of things for Li Yanyi, this oil base has what it is now, otherwise, with Li Yanyi as a cook, it is impossible to make such a large oil base in order, just those poor to scum, all kinds of bureaucrats who come to fight the autumn wind, have to eat Li Yanyi until there is no bone slag left. ,

"Wife, what do you say, it's all up to you." Li Yanyi drooped his head and said dejectedly, now, he has put all his energy into how to refine oil, and the other things are how his daughter-in-law commands him, how he moves, this time his daughter-in-law sent him out to talk to the local government about road repair, and he went, but unfortunately, there was still no result, and he knew the consequences of poor road repair, so he has been deaf and deaf.

"Don't worry, there must be a way, didn't Your Majesty send some four-wheeled carriages specially filled with oil? Let's go, go and see ......", "Ma Lan Huā has become quite capable now, in order to expand the oil base, she has not thought of a way, in order to sell the road, she has not thought of a way, in order to build the road, she has not thought of a way. Dealing with the locals of Shaanxi a lot, but also become a lot more bold and rough, the figure of the former small jasper, has long been seen, the environment is pressing, people have to change.

After speaking, Ma Lan Huā went out in a hurry, and Li Yanyi could only follow behind.

There is a large field in the place where the oil industry base is responsible for delivering oil, there are many carriages in it, the most dazzling is the four-wheeled carriage surrounded by everyone, the four-wheeled carriage is not a rare thing, it is rare to have a few large wooden barrels on it, which is used to load oil, so that the amount of oil transported by the horse-drawn carriage has increased several times at once, therefore, a cadre of people and so on are around these four-wheeled carriages to see the strange, the oil refined in this field is known to everyone, and the problem that the oil cannot be transported out is also known to everyone. Nowadays, this four-wheeled carriage is very useful, so many people come to see the excitement.

"I've seen the master, I've seen the ...... of the humble cabinet", everyone saw the "boss" of the oil base, came, and saluted and called Li Yanyi as the lord called Ma Lan Huā, then called the shopkeeper, because Ma Lan Huā was particularly envious of Sun Liniang, the big shopkeeper of Liuli Zhai, so he also let others call himself the shopkeeper.

"Lao Li, how is it, it's okay to transport oil this way, right? Leakage or not? Ma Lan Huā was very bold and asked without hesitation.

"Back to the shopkeeper, this is really no problem, the small one pulled the four-wheeled carriage and ran for a few days, the barrel on the carriage is still intact, no oil leakage out, the small one hurriedly rushed back to the shopkeeper's reply, this time, our oil is not afraid of not being shipped out......", this person known as Lao Li said with a flying eyebrow, this four-wheeled carriage and the method of filling oil in wooden barrels on the four-wheeled carriage were sent from all over the capital After sending it, the shopkeeper asked him to immediately try to load the oil to see if it leaked, fortunately, After a few days of testing by him, there are no problems at all, there is no such car and the way of filling the oil, there are many more than before.

"Yes, pull a few laps." Ma Lan Huā also instructed that this oil base was established under her orders, so she gave orders, and there was no problem at all.

"Well, shopkeeper." The old Li immediately spurred his horse, and the carriage pulled the large wooden barrel containing oil and began to run in this wagon yard.

After a few turns, Ma Lan Huā was more satisfied, this carriage is worthy of being specially sent by the emperor, not to mention the load capacity of the car, this way of shock absorption and the way of loading oil, it is simply specially tailored for his family, so that Ma Lan Huā, who has been embarrassed about how to transport the oil out, as if he saw the spring, this has been anxious heart, and finally let go, the emperor is thousands of miles away from the Jingshi, but he has not forgotten their home, which makes Ma Lan Huā even more restless, on how to better complete the emperor's dealing, I have a greater sense of urgency and begin to think of various ways to solve various problems.

"The owner, this oil transport family is finally there, but unfortunately, this kind of carriage is not easy to get! Now the news in the capital, Your Majesty is going to prepare for a large-scale disaster relief, the carriage yard may have to make a post carriage first, to meet the disaster relief first, our oil refinery wants to get this kind of carriage, I'm afraid we have to think of some way! After seeing the operation of the oil wagon, Ma Lan Huā pulled her husband aside and said.

"That's, that's ......" Li Yanyi immediately echoed, now, his mind is on oil refining, and he doesn't want to ask about the rest, and he doesn't want to ask, because except for oil refining, his daughter-in-law is not as good as him, and the others, he is not as good as his daughter-in-law, and Li Yanyi remembers the situation of dealing with local officials at the beginning, and those who are officials are afraid of his daughter-in-law, not him.

"There is a way, we also have it, but I don't know if this can impress Your Majesty." Ma Lan Huā slightly frowned and continued, in order to find a market for oil, she has tried all means, although there is this kind of carriage that "specializes in pulling oil", but the news in the Beijing division is to be relieved, a large number of carriages are needed, and it may be more troublesome for her to get a large number of carriages to transport oil. ,

"Wife, what's the solution?" , Li Yanyi couldn't help but ask, he has always been inferior to his daughter-in-law in many things, and when he heard that his daughter-in-law had a way, he immediately chased after him.

"Alas, the master, let's talk about this later, let's go and see how the oil residue paves the road first......", Ma Lanhuā sighed and continued.

"Okay, listen to my wife." Li Yanyi began to be happy, he knew that his daughter-in-law would not casually say that there was a way, since he said so, then Bacheng really had a way, once the problem of carriage capacity was solved, he could only ship the oil, the oil could be transported, and the output would rise, otherwise, the oil would be piled up at home, which was really anxious.

Ma Lan Huā rode a horse and galloped towards a place, Li Yanyi saw it, gritted his teeth, and followed, Shaanxi is a place, the land is not very peaceful, sometimes, it is not as convenient to ride a horse as a carriage.

Ma Lan Huā led a group of people to another place, this place is doing one thing, that is, paving the road with the oil residue left after oil refining, the reason is very simple, although Ma Lan Huā is in Shaanxi, but there is an inextricable relationship with the palace, this horse whip and washboard are not in vain, Ma Lan Huā can eat in this place in Yan'an Mansion, relying on this horse whip and washboard, so, she is smart naturally will not break the line in the palace, so she often sends things to the palace in various names, After learning that the emperor was going to vigorously push the carriage, Ma Lan Huā also heard some words from the palace.

After some speculation, Ma Lan Huā came to the conclusion that the emperor probably encountered the same problem as herself, she had to build roads if she wanted to transport the oil out, how to build roads, she racked her brains, thought of various methods, relying on her special status, and bullied the local officials, asking the local officials to build the roads, but unfortunately, even if the local officials had the heart, they were powerless. She took the silver to build the road herself, she didn't do it before, "but this place in Shaanxi, all yellow sand, sunny days are fine, to rainy days, this road can not go, the pit is called a deep, and the refinery is loaded with heavy wagons" As long as it is rolled several times, the road will not be the same, even if it is built with Sanhe soil, it will not last long, so "for the problem of the road, she is also trying to do everything."

Later, by chance, a craftsman reported that the oil residue fell to the ground, it seems that it is not afraid of water, and after mixing with the sand on the ground, it is even stronger, "even if the carriage is crushed, it will not run over the road, she got inspiration from this accidental thing, since this oil residue is not afraid of water, it is a good thing to build a road" Then you might as well get the oil residue to build the road, she is an assertive, capable person, immediately divided a few groups of people to build roads with oil residue, and actually built hundreds of feet of oil residue road, every day asked people to run over with a large carriage full of stones, Ready to see how this oil residue road should be repaired, so far, she has a preliminary conclusion, just to sum up the experience of these days, and her things that can impress the emperor to build a carriage for her to send to the palace, hoping to use these things to impress the emperor to approve a batch of carriages for her, so as to solve her problem of oil transportation, by the way to the emperor to relieve the siege, she knows that everything she comes from the emperor, from the palace, the problems in the palace are her problems, the things that the emperor wants to solve, is what she wants to solve.

"I've seen the shopkeeper." As soon as the workers saw the shopkeeper coming, they immediately came to greet him.

"Old Zhangtou, how is this road?" Malan Huā asked. Ma Lan Huā finished asking, and the followers of the family in the back arrived.

After Ma Lan Huā finished asking, after receiving the salute, Li Yanyi arrived, and everyone saluted Li Yanyi again.

"Back to the shopkeeper, this road is really not able to say, the small ones are now watering on it all the time, always using a heavy carriage to roll back and forth on it, this oil residue to build a road, much stronger than the Sanhe soil...", "This old head is 'excitedly' report to his shopkeeper, the workers here are very united, without him, in the face of such a heavy natural disaster, they still have food, but all rely on this great good man, all rely on this female shopkeeper, out of gratitude, but he is extra attentive to his own errand, all the shopkeeper orders down, That's all done without any discount, the people of their oil base, when it comes to their shopkeeper, they are particularly proud, in addition to these, there are also officials who are afraid of their shopkeeper, and their shopkeeper has a horsewhip given by the emperor and a washboard given by the queen.

"Okay, old Zhangtou, I want to bother you to write out the matter of building the road with oil residue overnight, and when it is written, we will send it to the palace, if you are happy to see it, maybe you will be rewarded for doing it, and you may not be able to say it" Ma Lan said proudly. ,

"Xie shopkeeper's cultivation, Xie shopkeeper's cultivation ......" This worker, known as Lao Zhangtou, was the one who found this oil residue used to pave the road, and thanked him ecstatically! This energy is extraordinary.

Ma Lan Huā is not stingy to give this credit to this old Zhang Tou, if the old Zhang Tou's method is useful, presumably the emperor will not forget her, the most important thing for her now is to increase the production of oil as soon as possible, open up sales as soon as possible, and solve the transportation problem as soon as possible.

"No need to thank you for this, as long as you follow my Li family wholeheartedly, my Li family will naturally not treat you badly." Ma Lan Huā said without hesitation, the reason why these people are so united, there is another factor, Shaanxi is still relatively chaotic, she can handle the officialdom, but she can't handle the many bandits and bandits, usually transport oil, but actually robbed a few times on the road, although there are new troops to support them, but after all, far water can not quench the thirst of the near, therefore, she knows that it is necessary to unite the workers of the refinery, only if they take the refinery as their own business, they will protect the refinery, Outsiders want to fight the idea of the oil refinery, then they have to weigh it, up to now, with their oil refinery and some local bandits "fire" a few times, there are no bandits and bandits who dare to hit their oil refinery, the big ones have been cleaned up by the new army, the little thieves have to deal with the people in their factory, this oil refinery is definitely a tyrant in Yan'an Mansion, the upper can be a bureaucracy, and the lower can destroy the bandits, but it is not a joke.

"The small ones can be saved, the small ones can be saved." Lao Zhangtou hurriedly agreed gratefully, if the shopkeeper really reported his name, according to the legendary emperor's treatment of craftsmen, his prosperous days would also be waiting for Zifei to hear Ma Lan Huā say this, and the people around him cast envious eyes.

“…… Shopkeeper, this, the little one is illiterate......,..." Lao Zhangtou was happy, and after being moved, he said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, Steward Liu, you are literate, you can help Lao Zhangtou write." Ma Lan Huā quickly said to a follower behind him, among these followers, there are family members and stewards, all follow her and listen to her orders at any time.

"Yes, shopkeeper!" Steward Liu immediately agreed, without the slightest ambiguity.

After saying that, Ma Lan Huā got into another carriage and walked on the oil residue road a few times, and after being satisfied, he left, leaving with a place of envy, jealousy and hatred. ~！
