Chapter 129: Petroleum (2nd Watch)
"Brother is back, brother is back......" Xiao Ruohan jumped up to meet him, ran to Chen Mo but stood still, twisted, and saw Chen Mo open his arms, so he cheered and threw himself into his arms.
Caiyu and Wang's sister-in-law, Qian's Liu Fu and others also greeted them, but only Zhu Yihua didn't move.
Chen Mo said hello to everyone, walked to Zhu Yihua with Ruohan in his arms and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, what are you doing here, so focused?" ”
"Coming? That's a good thing, aren't you smart? This king will test you to see if you can guess what it is. ”
Chen Mo looked at the steaming iron basin, swept the corner of the wall and saw a porcelain jar more than half a person high, smelling the pungent smell emitted by the black thing in the iron basin when it burned, his heart moved, and his eyebrows subconsciously raised: "Your Highness, don't you tell us that this is black oil?" ”
Although he used a questioning tone, he could already conclude that the thing in the basin was oil, and his heart was excited, and he could not control himself.
Zhu Yihua was not surprised, grinned, and said, "I know it's hard for you." To tell you the truth, since we mentioned this thing every time we made a hot air balloon that day, the lonely king has been obsessed. On the same day, Li Rusong once said to King Gu that although black oil is also produced in Liaodong, the quantity is too small. King Gu later thought, I have a lot of resources, since Liaodong can produce black oil, why can't other places come out? Following this line of thought, the Lone King sent people to look for it in many ways, and the hard work paid off, and the Lone King really found it! ”
Speaking of this, his face was full of excitement, his eyes were shining, and he turned his head to look at Chen Mo with a triumphant look.
"Your Highness is doing well!" Chen Mo praised it heartily and asked, "But." Where did His Highness find this thing? It shouldn't be far away, right? He couldn't help but think of the North China oil field, and guessed that this oil source should not be too far away. Otherwise, it's only been less than two months. Even if it can be found, it is impossible to send it to Zhu Yihua.
"It would be nice if it was really the North China Oilfield, and later generations heard that a well in the field over there could produce oil, and today's technology can be exploited, and then there is Liu Fu, a half-baked chemist, if it can be refined, what diesel, gasoline and asphalt, it is simply ......."
Chen Mo couldn't describe his mood at the moment, Ruohan even felt a little trembling around her arm. couldn't help but ask Chen Mo: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Is it cold? ”
"Can you guess that?" Zhu Yihua looked at Chen Mo incredulously.
Chen Mo's heart was settled, and he kissed Ruohan's pink face: "Little sister, you are really the lucky star of our family, and you will bring such good news to my brother as soon as you come." ”
"Phew, what does the lonely king have to do with her being a hairy girl!" Zhu Yihan said unhappily, and the frightened Ruohan's little face suddenly turned white.
"Ruohan, don't be afraid, Your Highness loves to joke. Actually, people are good! Chen Mo grinned, handed Ruohan to the Qian family next to him, looked at Zhu Yihua with a strange expression, and said, "Okay, Your Highness." Don't sell it, where did you find the black oil, tell us quickly! ”
Liu Fu also looked at Zhu Yihua with blank eyes. He had a gut feeling that this kind of thing was only seen in ancient books. There must be magical power in it, and he was eager to study it.
Zhu Yi pouted: "Now you know that you are in a hurry?" The lonely king won't tell you! ”
Chen Mo secretly music. The heart said that if it is really a child's heart, Lao Tzu will not ask from now on, you wish you would say it yourself. However, he was in a good mood and was happy to have fun, and said: "Okay, Your Highness, you can say it quickly, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, don't want the 10,000 taels of silver you owe us!" ”
"Really?" Zhu Yihua's eyes lit up. The rest of the people changed color one after another, and Sister-in-law Wang gasped even more, looked at the black oil in the basin, and muttered to herself: "Mother, what is this, stinky, it is worth 10,000 taels of silver?" Caiyu swept over, although she didn't say anything, she faintly blamed - the girl turned outward, and this statement was not deceitful.
Qian and Liu Fu's eyes widened even more, their mouths were wide open, and there was absolutely no problem in stuffing eggs.
"When did our family deceive Your Highness? Ever deceived? ”
"Okay, then let's settle it, the emperor, Caiyu is also there, you give us a witness, and you each, but I heard him say, as long as the lonely king tells him, he will be exempted from the 10,000 taels of silver that the lonely king owes him?"
"Don't worry, hurry up, maybe our family can give His Highness a great fortune!" Chen Mo didn't look at Caiyu at all, urging Zhu Yihua.
"Okay, seeing that you are so sincere, the Lone King will tell you that this black oil was found by the Lone King from Hejian Mansion."
"Sure enough!" Chen Mo said secretly, smiled at Zhu Yi, and said, "Your Highness is really powerful...... Find the specific place of the black oil...... By the way, Your Highness hasn't decided where to go yet, right? ”
"How did you get up here?" Zhu Yihua was a little unaccustomed to Chen Mo's jumping way of speaking, but he was a smart person, and his eyes soon lit up, and he asked, "You mean, find a way to let the Lone King go to the country on the other side of the river?" ”
"Clever!" Chen Mo praised it, but thinking of Zhu Yijun's taboo against Zhu Yihua, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said: "It's just that Hejian is too close to the capital, I'm afraid that Long Live Lord won't be willing...... Of course, you can start from Mrs. Li, as long as His Royal Highness really wants to go, the way is always what people think. ”
"Is this black oil really that expensive?" Zhu Yihua knows that with black oil, it will be of great help to hot air balloons, and it can also enter the military and become a weapon, but he is not sure if it is worth the risk - all nonsense on weekdays is just disguise, royal children, born to deceive me, no matter how stupid can it be?
"It's very expensive, your Highness can't imagine it, as long as Your Highness can hold the place where black oil is produced into your own hands, we can guarantee that Your Highness will definitely make your Highness the richest person in the Ming Dynasty!" Chen Mo said solemnly, his voice was very low, and only Zhu Yihua could hear it.
"Okay, the Lone King will believe you once!" Zhu Yihua's expression changed, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Liu Fu came, naturally he couldn't live in Wang's sister-in-law's house, but fortunately, now that the infrastructure of the hot air balloon base is complete, and it is very secretive, it is just suitable for research, so Chen Mo naturally arranged it over. At the same time, find someone to send him the oil to study.
Zhu Yihua returned to Zhaoling, and seeing that everything was ready, Caiyu walked to Chen Mo's side: "Accompany us out for a walk!" ”
"I don't dare to ask for it!" Chen Mo smiled and hung up the bookbag.
Caiyu glanced at him, and when he went out of the gate first, Chen Mo hurriedly followed.
Caiyu didn't speak until she walked out of Hongmen Village and was about to see Qi'en Gate, when she suddenly stopped and asked, "I heard, do you recognize Feng Bao as your grandfather?" (To be continued......)
