Destiny Only Han

After hearing Qin Tong's words, Chen Cheng immediately complained of his grievances: "Of course it was your Majesty who forced me!"

Qin Tong suddenly became interested and asked: "Your Majesty? How can Your Majesty force you?"

Chen Cheng asked: "Uncle, does he know which two families the Han officials are currently working on when extracting oil?"

"Both families?" Qin Tong stroked his long beard and shook his head: "How can I know so many new things when I am sitting in this corner of the country? It is only because of you that I know about this so-called oil company..."

Chen Cheng smiled and said: "Nowadays, one of the official oil companies is our Shangxiantang Royal Petroleum Company, which specializes in oil exploration and smelting outside the mainland of Dahan, and the other is Dahan Petrochemical, which specializes in domestic oil exploration and smelting."

Qin Tong nodded: "What then?"

Chen Cheng continued: "His Majesty said that the domestic oil fields are of poor quality and the smelting costs after extraction are too high. Therefore, the task of extracting oil for the country has been placed on the shoulders of our Royal Petroleum Company!"

"The oil here only needs to drill a hole in the ground, plug in a pipe, and it will continue to come out of the ground..."

"Therefore, His Majesty asked my nephew to drill a hundred oil wells here before the end of next year!"

"But uncle, you have also seen that this place is desolate and hot, and those barbarians are as annoying as flies. They come here all day long to burn, kill, and loot..."

Qin Tong suddenly realized: "I understand! How many soldiers do you want?"

Chen Cheng stretched out a finger: "One thousand is enough. And I won't use it in vain. All the people and livestock captured will belong to my uncle!"

After all, he now works in Shangxian Hall and has a very high annual salary, so he doesn't look down on those three melons and two dates at all.

But Qin Tong did not refuse anyone who came.

In fact, he is not short of money.

But if there is a reward after borrowing soldiers, it can not only appease those soldiers, but also silence Youyou's mouth.

Why not have the best of both worlds?
Therefore, Qin Tong nodded: "No problem. After returning to the city, I will send you a message immediately to mobilize a thousand fine cavalry for you!"

Chen Cheng had a smile on his face and extended his thumb: "Uncle!"

Qin Tong seemed to have remembered something, and asked again: "You gave the captives to others... Why, don't you lack manpower to exploit oil here?"

Chen Cheng shook his head: "Que, the pros and cons of lack!"

Qin Tong frowned and asked, "Then you still won't accept these prisoners?"

"I don't want it!" Chen Cheng shook his head vigorously: "Don't you know, uncle, that the barbarians here are so fierce and stubborn that they are hard to train? They are thinking about running all day long, and they also like to form gangs and fight with each other at every turn!"

Qin Tong sighed: "So, where are you going to make up the manpower? Don't forget, your Majesty can ask you to open a hundred wells!"

"I know!" Chen Cheng said with a calm face: "I have already placed an order with the Chief Protector of the Anhai Protectorate and the Observer Envoy of the Xuanwei Department of Jiugang, the late An Hou Shen Tujia. In the near future, there will be three thousand Nanyang soldiers. Barbarians come here to work!”

"Moreover, this is only the first batch. If this batch of people is used well, I am also prepared to sign an employment contract with Marquis Gu'an for another 1 people!"

Qin Tong's eyes widened and he asked: "Nanyang barbarians? Are they qualified for the job of digging wells?"

"Yes." Chen Cheng said with a smile: "Uncle, I don't know. It's actually very simple to build an oil well in our area, so what we need is strength and willingness to work!"

"Those Nanyang barbarians now mostly believe in new Buddhism and believe that they will endure hardships in this life and enjoy happiness in the next..."

"The key is that we don't want to pay?"

"When my nephew went to the Anhai Protectorate some time ago, he heard from Anhaihou that with the help of Han agricultural technology, the rice grown on some islands in Southeast Asia can even mature nine times in two years!"

"The farmland is open all year round, and before the previous crop is harvested, the second crop of rice that was raised elsewhere has already grown!"

"There is no shortage of food, and the island is full of children..."

"So, even if it is to support their families, the Nanyang barbarians work extremely hard, almost rushing to do the dirty and tiring work that makes more money..."

"It's a pity that they are not very smart, and many of the delicate tasks need to be done by a bunch of big men. Otherwise, I can save more than [-]% in labor costs alone!"

Chen Cheng said with helplessness on his face.

After all, the 'big men' he was talking about were engineers, so naturally they wouldn't get paid as laborers.

Qin Tong's face was full of surprise.

It's unbelievable that he is nine years old in two years!
How much food can this produce?

No wonder when I wrote to my family over the years, my family always complained that farming was not profitable, and asked him, the chief guardian of the Anman Protectorate, to help find two ways to make money, otherwise the whole family would starve to death. Chang'an City...

Qin Tong shook his head and stopped thinking about those things. He looked at Chen Cheng and asked, "You are a young man and know much more. Why do you think His Majesty needs so much oil? If you can't eat or drink it, can it be used for fighting?"

"But when fighting a war, shouldn't we be hoarding artillery? Why are we hoarding kerosene?"

Chen Cheng also looked confused and scratched his head: "My nephew doesn't know either, but who cares, what your Majesty has done is beyond our ability to predict, so we should just obey your orders and do it..."

Qin Tong nodded vigorously in agreement.

..........................................

"fly!"

"fly!"

"Fly!"

Liu Yan yelled and slapped his hands hard.

In the square not far in front of him, there was a large hot air balloon, which was slowly flying into the sky under the control of two strong engineers.Liu Ying sat under the shade of the tree, crossed her legs, and stretched out her hand triumphantly: "I'm willing to admit defeat. Uncle Lu, uncle, please bring me the jade pendant that lost me!"

Lu Pheasant raised his hand and gave him a shock: "Nothing big or little!"

Liu Ying was confused.

After all, Lu Pheasant has never beaten him like this in public since he was crowned!
Therefore, it's all the fault of that smiling old man Lu over there!

Well, it’s Mr. Lu.

Lu Gong lives in Linguang Palace these days. Lu Pheasant can see his father every day. Unknowingly, his mentality changes and he seems to have returned to his girlhood. Therefore, he no longer cares about image and face, and treats Liu Ying and Liu Ying. Le basically beat and scolded her when she couldn't stand it!
Well, the kind of beating means kissing and scolding means loving...

Although Liu Ying was beaten, she was very happy in her heart. However, when he looked at Lu Gong, his mood became a little lower.

He missed Taigong Liu and Mrs. Li...

But when Lu Ze put a piece of flawless mutton-fat jade into his hand, his mood suddenly turned gloomy again.

The dead are gone, and the living will continue.

Moreover, the greatest filial piety is to continue the bloodline passed down from our ancestors.

Therefore, he grabbed Liu Qi, who was standing silently looking at the sky, and whispered: "Have you seen this piece of jade? Do you want it?"

Liu Qi nodded, with a flattering smile on his face.

Who doesn’t want good things?

This piece of jade is priceless at first glance. Moreover, it is a lottery his father won from his uncle, so it has extraordinary meaning!
A smile that all men understand appeared on Liu Ying's face: "Give Nai Gong a grandson, and the jade pendant will be yours!"

Liu Qi was stunned and his face slowly turned red.

Since the last time he said that Liu Ying supported him in accepting Shen'er, although Dou Yifang did not let go, he no longer stopped him. Therefore, he had already tasted the forbidden fruit many times and experienced what it was like to be a man!

But the young man was thin-skinned, so Liu Ying still felt extremely embarrassed when she said such words in public.

On the other side, Lu Gong’s eyes lit up.

He smiled and said: "So, Qi'er is considered an adult now?"

"That's not true!" Liu Ying said with a smile: "Whether the grandson can hold his grandson before he is 30 years old depends on his ability!"

Liu Qi became increasingly shy.

But he looked at the smiling Liu Ying and decided to fulfill Liu Ying's wish to have a grandson before Liu Ying passed her 30th birthday!

After all, he is a filial son...

Lu Gong smiled and said: "I have an idea. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?"

Lu Fei frowned, his face filled with embarrassment: "Dad! Tell me what you have to say. Liu Ying is your grandson and your daughter's biological flesh and blood. Even if he becomes the emperor of the Han Dynasty, you don't have to be so reserved!"

"You have liked to train me since I was a child, and now you still want to train me when I am this old..." Mr. Lu shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Hey, my life is so hard..."

"Brother, I understand!" Liu Le lay on Liu Ying's shoulder and whispered in his ear: "My grandma was anxious to marry off my mother back then. It must have been because she was always nagging, so he got annoyed with her! "

Liu Ying: "..."

Lu Pheasant's beautiful eyebrows suddenly raised, but considering that Zhang Buyi was sitting in the pavilion, he just made a mental note for his resentful daughter who didn't know how to live or die.

Settle after autumn!

Including that brat who kept silent but was very happy in his heart!

Mr. Lu gave a fake sigh, and then looked at Liu Ying: "What I mean is, we will kiss you more and find Liu Qi a daughter of the Lu family to be his queen..."

Liu Ying frowned.

Lu Pheasant also frowned: "Dad, don't mention this matter again! Close relatives don't get married. Liu Qi is my grandson. How can he marry the Lu family's daughter?"

"It's not what you think!" Lu Gong shook his head and explained: "I have a brother from the same clan. His grandson imitated others and went to sea to do business. As a result, the boat capsized. He had to save his life, but the goods and the boat were all sacrificed. After killing Lord Dragon, I still owe a lot of debt..."

"Because he was being chased for debts in his hometown, he moved his whole family to your eldest brother..."

"He has a daughter who is twenty-eight years old. She is gentle and generous, and her appearance is beyond description. Moreover, she and Liu Qi are no longer close relatives..."

"so……"

"So, dad, you are going to marry me to Qi'er?" Lu Zhi continued, with a smile that saw everything on his face: "By the way, you can accept some gifts so that he can pay off his debt?"

Lu Gong glared: "So what? I gave you a beautiful daughter. What's the matter with accepting some betrothal gifts? If that guy hadn't been unwilling to accept Nai Gong's support, would Nai Gong really be willing to waste so much money?"

Liu Ying pondered for a few seconds and then asked: "My dear, that man has some backbone!"

After all, Lu Ze is now the King of Lu. It can be said that it is effortless to help others pay off their debts, but they did not ask for it, which shows that the man did not come to Lu Ze for money.

Moreover, the matter of marrying a daughter was probably Lu Gong's last-minute idea.

The reason is very simple. After so many days, if that person had any intention of selling his daughter for glory, I'm afraid the little girl would have already been married...

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Mr. Lu nodded: "Of course, that's a member of my Lu family!"

"Let's not talk about getting married for now..." Liu Ying raised her head and said, "My dear, have you ever heard of bank credit?" (End of Chapter)
