The reaction of the Xianbei Kingdom Gong Luo Yashan was the fastest, and the reaction of several other feudal states was not slow.

On the way to Xi'an, the three princes of Kazakh, Khiva, and Persia also applied.

Muhammad Ali bin Ibrahim of Egypt also wanted to visit Zhu Jingyuan, and he has now given himself an official name called "Muyi".

However, the vassal state of the Duke of Egypt did not fall within the scope of Zhu Jingyuan's supervision.

After Zhu Jingyuan received the news, he was a little shocked and immediately reported to Jingshi.

Emperor Zhu Jianyan of the Ming Dynasty quickly replied that the five remaining foreign vassals of the Ming Dynasty, namely Xianbei, Kazakhstan, Khiva, Persia, and Egypt, should adopt the same policy towards them as much as possible.

The same policy means that management complexity can be simplified, and that there may be resentment between them.

Therefore, now the Egyptian region is also added to Zhu Jingyuan's supervision area.

After Zhu Jingyuan saw the response, he also officially replied to "Mu Yi" and allowed him to come to see him.

Zhu Jingyuan's reply to the kings of Kazakhstan, Khiva, Persia, and Egypt agreed on the same day, and asked them to arrive on the same day as much as possible to solve their problems in a unified manner.

There was no Xianbei, because when Zhu Jingyuan arranged time for them, the Duke of Xianbei had already arrived in Xi'an.

Xianbei City is an important aviation node of the Ming Dynasty, and the Luo Yashan family is used to airplanes.

The safety indicators of military aircraft are already very high, and the survival rate of propeller aircraft after accidents is also very high.

Now Luo Yashan dares to travel by plane, and this time he also came directly by plane.

Zhu Jingyuan took Wang Ya and Luo Feiya to meet the family in the back hall of the palace.

Luo Feiya is the youngest among the orchids in Zhu Jingyuan's harem, she just turned nineteen years old this year and has not yet given birth to a child.

Luo Feiya's body is now fully open, and she is also in her early sixties of one meter, not too tall and not too short.

A nineteen-year-old girl in this era can already be regarded as an adult.

Luo Feiya has also studied and exercised beside Zhu Jingyuan for nearly nine years, whether it is as Zhu Jingyuan's life secretary or the captain of the harem maids, she is completely competent and knows what to do when and when.

Luo Feiya first went to say hello to her father, then went to talk to her mother and sisters herself, and asked her father to talk to Zhu Jingyuan.

This meeting was private in nature, and the two parties could be considered relatives, so there were not many rules.

But Luo Yashan obviously also has something to talk to Zhu Jingyuan about as soon as possible.

Luo Yashan also brought a "gift" to Zhu Jingyuan.

Luo Yashan personally handed over a small jar to Zhu Jingyuan's accompanying guards.

After checking it, the guards and the secretary sent it to Zhu Jingyuan, and at the same time reported what was inside:

"It's some crude oil for oil."

Zhu Jingyuan was a little puzzled when he heard this, what did Luo Yashan do with such a small box of crude oil for himself?

Luo Yashan didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and without waiting for Zhu Jingyuan to ask, he directly explained:

"According to the information I have received recently, the Lucians have discovered an oil field with considerable reserves in an area east of the Volga, on the Ural River, very close to the border between us and Lucia.

"According to the current experience of oil exploration and exploitation, the distribution of oil fields is often not pointed, but patchy.

"Therefore, the engineers of the Xianbei Principality boldly guessed that the area east of the Ural River belonging to the Xianbei Principality is likely to have oil deposits, and suggested that I invest and organize people to explore there.

"But I think that when it comes to oil exploration and development, His Highness should be the most professional in the world.

"So I hope that His Highness will come forward to coordinate and participate in this project......"

Zhu Jingyuan was a little serious when he heard this topic.

Although the oil fields developed by Zhu Jingyuan are world-class, and although Daming has controlled most of the world's oil and gas areas, the experience of his previous life has made Zhu Jingyuan very sensitive to oil.

According to Luo Yashan, the oil field discovered by the Lucia people should be the "Volga-Ural oil and gas area", which was also a very important oil field in Lucia in the original history.

It was first discovered in 1929 and was named "Second Baku", and later developed the Tyumen oil field was called "Third Baku".

As you can imagine from the name, this place is very rich in oil reserves.

In recent years, Zhu Jingyuan has developed oil fields in Dashiguo, Baku Prefecture, and Nanyinzhou, and has made a lot of money by selling oil.

With the development of the second industrial revolution, the demand for oil in the Ming and Taixi countries also increased day by day.

Lucia's previous oil supply was entirely dependent on imports, all of which were produced from the Baku oil field developed by Zhu Jingyuan.

Although the Ming Dynasty did not make too many restrictions on exports, the Lucia people were also jealous when they saw others making money, and of course hoped that they would also have oil fields in their own country, so that they would not have to spend money on importing oil.

Luo Yashan, on the other hand, has seen the gap between the oil development of the big food country before and after, and is also very concerned about the oil industry.

It just so happened that the Baku oil field was very close to the borders of Lucia and the Principality of Xianbei.

The Lucians organized a special manpower to explore close to the border, and Mount Loa kept an eye on it.

After a few years of tossing, the Lucians finally discovered oil in Second Baku.

This place is very close to the Principality of Xianbei, and the relationship between Mount Loya and Lucia is very special, and it was not long before news was obtained.

I just want to paint a scoop from a gourd and look for oil on my side of the Volga-Ural border region.

Looking for oil and looking for Zhu Jingyuan will definitely not be wrong.

Luo Yashan looked for Zhu Jingyuan, not only to ask for help, but also to sell Zhu Jingyuan.

Let Zhu Jingyuan participate, Zhu Jingyuan will definitely be able to make money or earn fame, which is indeed a very affordable "gift".

So after Luo Yashan finished explaining, he looked at Zhu Jingyuan with anticipation, waiting for Zhu Jingyuan to say "okay".

But Zhu Jingyuan thought about it for a while, but slowly shook his head and said:

"Exploring and developing oil fields near the border can easily create contradictions in the long run......

"What's more, that place is even a demilitarized zone under the armistice, which is already very sensitive.

"The Lucia people are developing oil fields here, but they don't report it to Daming, which can even be regarded as a diplomatic issue."

Luo Yashan was obviously stunned when he heard it, and didn't keep up with Zhu Jingyuan's thinking:

"This ...... They may not have time yet, and they may inform Daming when the construction officially begins.

"Then, we can just ask for joint exploration and development between the two sides, right?"

Zhu Jingyuan closed his eyes and tried to look through the memories of his previous life, mainly recalling the general scope of this oil field.

Zhu Jingyuan vaguely remembered that this oil field was mainly near the Volga River, and the main oil fields should be west of the Ural Mountains, and there seemed to be relatively few east and south of the Urals.

Moreover, the parts east and south of the Urals seem to be mainly in the territory of Kazakhstan, and it is difficult to say whether the Xianbei principality has it or not.

The main thing is that the memory of this aspect is not deep enough, and if you arrange people to go there for a few months or even years, but in the end they do not find a big oil field, won't it damage your reputation as an "oil king"......

The point is that there is no shortage of oil in Daming now.

Big food countries have large production and low costs.

The oil quality in the South Seas region is good, and it is close to the mainland.

Nan Yin Chau can supply the local fuel demand.

There is no need to go to inland areas like the Urals to develop oil.

While the local development costs may not be high, it is not worth it overall.

Just looking at Luo Yashan's positive energy, it is obvious that he really wants to get oil, because oil can make money.

Most of the Principality of Xianbei is a bitter cold land, and there is no future for simple farming.

Crucially, this place is also strategically located, the frontier of defense and offensive against Tessie.

Zhu Jingyuan thought about it for a while, and finally made a decision:

"I'll have people keep an eye on Lucia, and the Duke of Xianbei can also remind them through your family channels.

"Before the Lucia people officially develop the local oil fields, it is best to communicate and negotiate with the Honglu Temple of the Ming Dynasty through official channels.

"Otherwise, the Ming will send regular troops to the border demilitarized zone stipulated in the treaty at the same time as they start construction."

Zhu Jingyuan said seriously, and Luo Yashan didn't dare to have any superfluous questions for the time being, so he immediately agreed honestly.

Then Zhu Jingyuan asked people to get a map of the Xianbei Principality, and spread it on the small table between himself and Luoya Mountain.

Zhu Jingyuan picked up a pencil and drew a circle at the fork of the main tributary of the middle reaches of the Ob River:

"If Xianbei Guogong really wants to get involved in the oil industry, then there is no need to go to a sensitive area like the Urals.

"Next, we will jointly set up a exploration and development company to explore the Xianbei inland area in the middle reaches of the Ob River."

This place in the Zhujingyuan circle is the original historical "Tyumen oil field", or "West Siberian oil and gas area".

For the most part, when the Tyumen oil fields are mentioned in history and geography textbooks, they usually refer to the entire oil and gas area.

The most famous of this oil and gas region is, of course, the Tyumen oil field, and then the Samotrol oil field.

They used to be the first and third largest oil fields in Red Lucia.

The current Ming Dynasty is not Lucia in the previous life, and it is not a land power country trapped in the homeland to find resources.

The actual development cost of these two major oil fields, the key is that after adding the cost of outward transportation, there is no advantage in the face of the big food oilfield.

Therefore, it is estimated that it will be difficult to have a large enough development in the future.

However, it should be enough to make the sparsely populated Xianbei principality rich.

Because the cheap oil of the Great Food Country is transported to Xianbei and Kazakhstan, as well as the northwest inland region of Daming, there should be no price advantage compared to the oil produced in Xianbei area.

Therefore, the inland provinces and vassal states in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty are the potential markets for the oil of the Xianbei Principality.

Let the Principality of Xianbei become rich, supply and maintain local order, and it will be easier to defend the garrisons of the Taixi countries.

So Zhu Jingyuan circled this oil-producing area.

Just when Zhu Jingyuan was about to issue a warning to Lucia, Luo Yashan was already a little disappointed in his heart, and his originally high emotions had begun to sink.

But now looking at Zhu Jingyuan's arrangements, the whole person immediately became energetic again.

Of course, Luo Yashan didn't know how much oil there was in Zhu Jingyuan's circle, but as long as Zhu Jingyuan promised to go to Xianbei to find oil, it was enough.

Zhu Jingyuan's reputation in the oil industry is unparalleled.

Luo Yashan has already begun to look forward to the bright future of the Xianbei Principality.

After Luo Yashan's emotions came up, he couldn't stop thanking Zhu Jingyuan, and at the same time instinctively continued to ask along this topic, wanting to continue to discuss the details of exploration and development with Zhu Jingyuan.

But Zhu Jingyuan shook his head:

"There is no hurry in this matter, the exploration and development of oil resources in the Xianbei Principality can be discussed together with the investment and construction of the Ming Dynasty in the northwest feudal states and the construction of the government-owned manufacturers of the northwest feudal states, and we will discuss it together after several other princes come."

Although Luo Yashan was excited and looking forward to it, he didn't dare to talk to Zhu Jingyuan, Zhu Jingyuan arranged for a discussion later, and Luo Yashan honestly agreed.

Moreover, when Luo Yashan heard Zhu Jingyuan talk about several other vassal monarchs, he immediately thought of another question that he had prepared in his heart.

Luo Yashan himself felt that this issue was a bit sensitive, so he was a little hesitant now:

"Your Highness...... My subordinate has a problem, I don't know how to open it......"

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and waved his hand and said:

"Xianbei Guogong is not an outsider, according to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, I have to call Guogong more or less Lord Yue.

"If the prince has any questions and thoughts, he doesn't need to hide them, just tell me directly."

Zhu Jingyuan said that Luo Yashan was his father-in-law, but Luo Yashan didn't dare to admit it with a big grin.

His daughter is just a concubine of the king of the Great Food Country, and her identity on Daming's side is actually just a maid foreman and a big girl.

At the very least, it had to be the father of Zhu Jingyuan's prince and concubine to dare to take this stubble a little.

You have to be the father of Zhu Jingyuan's princess and princess of the main palace to accept this title seriously.

So Luo Yashan is obviously a little panicked now:

"Don't dare, don't dare, Your Highness is too polite.

"I actually just want to understand the imperial court's arrangements for Xianbei's future.

"I'm here to prepare in advance and cooperate with ......"

Luo Yashan said politely, but the intention was also expressed.

Luo Yashan could guess that the purpose of Zhu Jingyuan's coming to the northwest was mostly to rectify the remaining feudal states.

The Duchy of Western Xianbei, which was split from Lucia, bore the brunt of the brunt.

Luo Yashan is in a very worried mood now.

Although it was clearly stated in the treaty signed at the beginning that the Principality of Xixianbei would not withdraw the feudal domain, not re-establish it, and not push favors.

But the situation is getting worse and worse than when I signed the contract.

Daming ...... In the history of Shenzhou, there were too many things to set up a vassal state and then withdraw the vassal state.

In the past few years, the Ming Dynasty has just withdrawn almost all of its pro-domains.

The Ming Emperor and the imperial court really wanted to forcibly withdraw the feudal domain, and the Western Xianbei Principality had no way to resist.

Lucia's brother may not dare to stand up for himself.

Zhu Jingyuan could understand Luo Yashan's mood, and now he smiled very casually and said:

"Don't worry about the Xianbei Principality, His Majesty the Ming Emperor and the Ming Imperial Court have always kept their promises.

"The Principality of Xianbei is the Duke of the Ming Dynasty recognized by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he is the vassal monarch of the Principality of Western Xianbei.

"Unless the Duke of Xianbei does not want to continue to stay in the Ming Dynasty, it will not be easy for the monarch to last forever."

Zhu Jingyuan was talking in his mouth, looking at Luo Yashan's expression was always apprehensive, as if he didn't dare to fully accept this promise.

So when he was halfway through, he suddenly turned around:

"If the Principality of Xianbei is still worried, then you might as well think about it from another angle.

"The Ming Dynasty actually hopes that the Taixi countries, like Xianbei, Persia, Egypt and other countries, will become the foreign vassals of the Ming Dynasty.

"Da Ming promised not to annex the Taixi countries, but he did not refuse or even expect the Taixi countries to take the initiative to join.

"If you want them to take the initiative to join, you must have conditions and treatment that they are willing to accept.

"The existing vassal states such as Xianbei, Persia, and Egypt are models to show them.

"Even if the Duke of Xianbei is worried about the future of Xianbei, it should be after all the countries of Taixi take the initiative to join the Ming Dynasty.

"Before that, the Xianbei Guogong can put his heart in his stomach."

When Luo Yashan heard this, he followed Zhu Jingyuan's train of thought and thought about it, and immediately felt very reasonable.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to "surrender the army without a fight" and let the Taixi countries take the initiative to join the Great Ming Dynasty, then they have to keep the current few foreign vassals.

It's just that after they joined, then the Ming Dynasty should find a way to withdraw the domain, right?

So Luo Yashan continued to probe and said:

"With the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is easy to annex the Taixi countries, and the Taixi countries themselves should understand this.

"As long as they're wise enough, it shouldn't take long for them to join.

"At that time, Daming will truly be one world, and the world will be truly integrated......"

Zhu Jingyuan waved his hand when he heard this:

"Xianbei Guogong should understand in his heart that this matter is not as simple as it sounds.

"The morale of the monarchs of the Taixi countries is still relatively high, and the people of the Taixi countries already have their own ideas.

"Take the current Lucia as an example, can you expect those Great Lucia elements to voluntarily join the Ming Dynasty?

"Even if they all join voluntarily, I may not be willing to accept it.

"Even if all the remaining countries in the world are now all vassals of the Ming Dynasty immediately, the Ming Dynasty will not think of completely withdrawing the vassals.

"To put it bluntly, the Lucians, Germans, Frenchmen, Englishmen, all the Tessians at present, they can't become Ming people for the time being.

"The civil and military officials of the Ming court and the current people of the Ming Dynasty can't accept it.

"Therefore, even if these countries become the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, they must continue to undertake the task of managing these ethnic groups alone.

"They will continue to exist as vassals with a high degree of autonomy for a long time.

"The five kingdoms of Xianbei, Persia, Kazakhstan, Egypt, and Khiva, as well as those black nobles in the central and western parts of Mozhou, and several vassal states without kings in the Yinzhou region, are now undertaking such tasks.

"If these people want to become Ming people, it may take several generations of hard work......

"We're probably not going to see it again in our lifetime."

Zhu Jingyuan said it very bluntly, even with natural discrimination, but Luo Yashan accepted it very happily.

Luo Yashan was finally sure that the Ming Dynasty would really allow his vassal kingdom to exist for a long time.

At least until Zhu Jingyuan's generation, there should be no major changes.

Luo Yashan finally put his mind at ease, and then his curiosity rose:

"The Taixi people are indeed not qualified to become Ming people, and the Mo slaves of Mozhou are even less qualified.

"By the way, His Royal Highness is supervising the northwestern provinces and vassal states this time, what policy pilot reforms will be carried out?

"If Your Highness has any requirements, you can directly order, and Xianbei will fully cooperate."

Zhu Jingyuan took a sip of wine:

"Of course there are things to do, and they are all good things for you kings.

"What exactly to do, let's talk about it together when the other monarchs also arrive."
