Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 195 The Bazaar in Leopard Wenshan
Yang Yan looked at the boss suspiciously and asked, "Asphalt? Your subordinates have never heard of such a magical thing?"

Jiang Lun said with a smile, "When the asphalt is heated, it will turn into a liquid. It will be mixed with gravel and poured on the ground. After cooling, it will dry. Walking on asphalt is much smoother and more comfortable than dirt roads!"

Yang Yan tried his best to imagine, but couldn't imagine what the asphalt road looked like.

My boss is knowledgeable and has deep insights into finance, taxation and economics. Yang Yan doesn't know which elite family he is from, so he can have such talents.

The only thing that troubled Yang Yan was that Jiang Lun would always say things he couldn't imagine.

Seeing Yang Yan's confused eyes, Jiang Lun smiled and said, "It's not just asphalt, there are oil fields in the vast sea, but no one has extracted oil yet."

Tarim Oilfield is the third largest oilfield in China after Changqing Oilfield and Daqing Oilfield.

This is an oil field with rich oil reserves. In the game, there are a group of players who never forget the oil field.

What is petroleum?Not only fuel, oil can also separate a variety of industrial raw materials, it is the blood of industry!
Asphalt in petroleum is an important raw material for infrastructure construction. The roads in the hometown that players remember when they were young were roads paved with asphalt. At that time, they were also called asphalt roads. Although it is not as comfortable as the current prefabricated cement slab floor, it is also better than Datang. The dirt roads are much better.

It is not difficult to find out the location of the oil field. The Tarim Oilfield is a large oil field, and it is not a secret military project. You only need to check a few papers on the Internet to find the location of the oil field.

But the location of the oil field is the first step. The Tarim Oil Field is located in the vast Taklimakan Desert, which is also called the vast sea by the people of Datang.

The vast sea is enough to know how vast this desert is, and it will also be a no-man's land that will change the face of people in later generations.

During the first test of the game, some players disappeared in Lop Nur, and their lives were lost in vain.

This lesson has always been kept in the player's mind. Expeditions in the desert are equally difficult, and only some players with high skills in [Survival in the Wild] dare to enter the vast sea.

If the vast sea alone is not enough to stop the greedy players.

Another problem is that players lack hard enough drilling materials.

Jiang Lun is in charge of the Salt and Iron Bureau, so he naturally knows how these players pestered Jian Xia to let her develop high-strength alloys for drilling.

The petroleum industry is quite complicated, and human beings can make full use of various substances in petroleum, which is a scientific and technological achievement in recent decades.

But oil mining is an old craft, and the technical difficulty is not high. In the United States in 1900, many ordinary people with oil dreams dared to go to diamond oil with a drill bit. As long as they can drill oil wells, they can Get rich overnight.

The most important thing for drilling is wear-resistant high-strength alloys, but Jianxia lacks a variety of ores for making high-strength alloys, so a smart woman can't cook without rice!
If high-strength alloys for drilling oil could be made, then Jian Xia would have made a safe and reliable rifle long ago.

Without qualified steel, drilling tools cannot be manufactured, and oil cannot be extracted.

Jiang Lun sighed and said, "As expected, steel is the backbone of industry. Without qualified steel, many technology trees can't be lighted up."

Yang Yan couldn't understand what his boss was feeling, so he could only nod blankly.

A group of people followed King Jianning and headed for Gaochang City in a mighty way.

King Jianning is inspecting the territory beamingly.

Liangzhou, in the city of Wuwei.

Hexi Jiedu envoy Fang Guan was not in such a good mood.

He did not follow the advice of his subordinate Dou Shen, and launched the Tianshan Army into Zhangye to suppress the bandits in time, completely losing the land of Suzhou and Ganzhou.

Hexi originally ruled four prefectures, Shazhou under Dunhuang, Suzhou under Jiuquan, Ganzhou under Zhangye and Liangzhou under Wuwei.

But now Fang Guan, the majestic Hexi Jiedu envoy, is only left in the state of Liangzhou.

What's even more frustrating is that Liangzhou doesn't have a lot of horse farms. Fang Guan wants to change the horses to mulberry, and there is not much horse farm land that can be used.

Those high-ranking officials who had established relationships long ago and offered bribes and gifts to Fang Guan, saw that Fang Guan, the Hexi Jiedu, had only one state left, and came to urge Fang Guan to quickly change his horse to mulberry and sell the mulberry field to them .

Recently, the gate of Fangguan's house was broken down. The land in Liangzhou alone cannot satisfy these wolves who want land.

Fang Guan was so frightened that he hid in the house every day and dared not go out, for fear of being entangled by these crazy land buyers.

It was only then that Fang Guan remembered why Dou Shen kept saying that Zhangye was the key to changing horses to mulberries, and he kept persuading Fang Guan to sit in Zhangye and personally take charge of changing horses to mulberries in Zhangye.

It's a pity that at that time Fang Guan was talking happily with the literati in Liangzhou, and the local gentry in Liangzhou were also busy licking Fang Guan, so Fang Guan just issued a few decrees to let Wu Chudao, the governor of Ganzhou, handle it by himself.

In the end, there was a bandit, and King Jianning was asked to send troops under the pretext of suppressing the bandits, and occupied Suzhou and Ganzhou.

It is too late now, Lord Tianshan is the army of the imperial court, how could it be possible for the Tianshan army to attack the city of Zhangye occupied by King Jianning?
What's more, the imperial court originally ordered King Jianning to be in charge of Longyou, and Fang Guan also knew that he could not command these army leaders at all.

There was no other way, Fang Guan had no choice but to use a memorial to start a lawsuit of saliva. He wrote a memorial of complaining eloquently, accusing Jianning Wang Li Yan of sabotaging the work of changing horses into sangs.

Then he searched for some of the crimes of King Jianning, and brought the lawsuit before the emperor.

Fang Guan's calculations were very loud. He came to Hexi to promote the transformation of horses into mulberry, and he sold land to make money for the imperial court to raise military horses.

Now that the battle in the Central Plains is fierce, the consumption of military horses is also high. As long as the imperial court still relies on itself to raise military horses, then His Majesty will definitely support him.

But Fang Guan didn't know that the Uighur merchants would never sell their war horses to Liangzhou as before.

Outside Zhuoshou Mansion on Baowen Mountain, a huge market has been established.

This is the tea-horse bazaar established by King Jianning and Prince Yidijian of Uyghur. Datang and Uyghur traded goods in this bazaar, and the biggest trade content was horses.

The best Uighur horses were snapped up by merchants, and those Uighur merchants who got the money turned around and paid the money to the merchants of Datang to buy various commodities from them.

The most popular commodity in Datang is naturally tea.

Tea plays a vital role in the meat-eating eating habits of grassland people. Both nobles and ordinary herdsmen consume a lot of tea every day.

Hu Bayi, a merchant, heard about the tea-horse market in Baowen Mountain, and decisively bought a batch of novel goods from Shazhou, and went north to the tea-horse market in Baowen Mountain.

As soon as Hubayi's goods entered the market, he attracted the attention of many Uyghur merchants. His eloquent introduction of these goods aroused great interest among Uighur merchants.
