Chapter 150 Endless wealth
"It's still unknown whether this mountain has an owner." Xiao Wujin glanced at Shen Ru and said lightly.

"Then check it out! Hey, fellow, where is the black water you mentioned?"

Shen Ru asked the passing farmer quite familiarly.

After getting the specific location, Shen Ru immediately urged Xiao Wujin to go over and take a look.

"Shen Ru, why are you so excited? What's the origin of this black water?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it yet. I won't know for sure until I see it!"

Shen Ru said with great interest.

Xiao Wujin saw Shen Ru like this, so he followed her to take a look.

The black water did not flow from the mountain, but in a depression at the foot of the mountain.

It’s really…oil!
Shen Ru was shocked. She used a fire stick to hit the sparks and saw that they caught fire!
"Shen Ru, what on earth is this?"

Xiao Wujin also saw that this thing was flammable, and he was extremely surprised.

"In the past, there was a saying in ancient books that the water is flammable."

Shen Ru thought for a while before speaking.

"I think this should be it!"

"Well, Mr. Xiao, then... can you still give me this mountain top?"

Shen Ru looked at Xiao Wujin excitedly, but felt uneasy in his heart. Xiao Wujin was not stupid, for he had thought of the value of this thing.

"If there is no owner, I will give it to you, but you need to pay the government a sum of money."

Xiao Wujin met Shen Ru's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat for no reason.

Of course he guessed that this thing would be of great use, but since Shen Ru wanted it, he would just go with the flow.

"Okay, then if it has an owner, can I buy it from the old owner?"

Shen Ru asked again, "His status as a prisoner... shouldn't matter, right?"

"You...love this place very much?"

Xiao Wujin asked, "Didn't you want a big grassland before?"

"That... I want it, Mr. Xiao. I will repay you with a peach and Qiong Yao. Believe me, I will not cheat you!"

Xiao Wujin was busy with many things at the moment. Even if he guessed that this thing might be useful, he thought that if he gave it to Shen Ru, it would not be difficult for Shen Ru to serve Liangzhou in the future.

"I believe you. When I get back, I'll have someone check it out and help you get this done."

"Xiao Wujin, you are such a good person!"

Shen Ru almost jumped three feet high with joy and called Xiao Wujin by his name.

Xiao Wujin did not blame Shen Ru for getting carried away, and only told Lu Yi and others to find out the ownership of this place as soon as possible.

Shen Ru was really lucky to meet him. Is he so obviously concerned about the black water here because he was afraid that others would not know that this thing was precious?

Before returning to the city, Shen Ru filled a large pot of black water with the kettle he brought with him.

When she got home, she found that the kettle had caked on it and was as black as gelatin.

It was really oil. Shen Ru's heart was pounding. What kind of luck was she that she could discover oil.

This thing is actually recorded in ancient books. The ancients first used it for lighting, and later it was used for military purposes, and it was even used for making ink!

"I sent it, I will definitely send it this time."

Shen Ru was in his room, talking happily to himself.

"Miss, what good thing has happened to make you so happy?"

Cuixi brought warm water over. Shen Ru was still dressed as a man at the moment.

"I'm on patrol with Mr. Xiao, is there anything unexpected?"

"Yes, it's an unexpected surprise, but it hasn't been finalized yet. Cuixi, I got a treasure. You can take this thing and light a lamp to see it." Shen Ru handed his kettle to Cuixi.

"What is this? It's dark."

Cuixi asked confused.

"Lishui is taken from the mountains. I have tried it and it can be ignited."

"Try to see if you can replace the lantern with an oil lamp later."

As Shen Ru said this, she took out a little black fat and showed it to Cui Xi.

"Miss, this...is so bright, much brighter than a candle."

"Well, my idea is to use this thing for lighting first. Let's see if we can make some simple lighting tools to replace candles..."

Shen Ruxing hurriedly explained his idea to Cuixi. Lighting was a basic function. If the hilltop was given to him, he could collect the overflowing parts of the ground even if he didn't drill wells.

The oil that spills onto the surface is stored first, and it can be used for military purposes in the future.

The most important thing is that the mountaintop belongs to you, which is equivalent to sitting on an inexhaustible mountain of treasure!
Cui Xi was also infected by Shen Ru's excitement and accepted the task with great interest.

Soon, Xiao Wujin also sent someone to tell Shen Ru that the hilltop belonged to a local squire, but because of the black water, the land could not be cultivated. The squire was eager for someone to buy the hilltop.

With Xiao Wujin's help, Shen Ru and the squire negotiated a deal for 300 taels.

When she got the title deed to the hilltop, Shen Ru couldn't help but pull up Xiao Wujin's sleeve.

"Master Xiao, thank you for helping me. Come on, I'll take you to a restaurant!"

"Are you trying to bribe me?"

Xiao Wujin glanced at Shen Ru's hand holding his sleeve, with slender jade fingers as soft as willow.

"Master Xiao, don't be so rigid. I just want to express my gratitude. Where is the best restaurant in Liangzhou? I'll be the host. How about you?"

"Looking at you, that thing is of great value to you."

Xiao Wujin said thoughtfully: "Shen Ru, we don't have to eat at the restaurant. How about this? If I give you the mountain top, can you make the surrounding villages rich?"

"Uh……"

Shen Ru was stunned, this task is so difficult!
"Master Xiao, I have just arrived, and I don't know if I can do it!"

Shen Ru smiled and said: "Let's put it this way, if someone's land cannot be cultivated because of the black water, I will definitely compensate them."

"As for the surrounding countryside, that will depend on the later stages."

Shen Ru smiled and said, "I didn't want to be that big!"

After all, the oil that spilled out is limited. If you dig a well to extract it, that will be an afterthought.

When the time comes, those who can’t farm will be given work, and they won’t be treated badly.

"Master Xiao, let's go, I'll be the host, happy things, don't be such a spoiler!"

Shen Ru still wanted to treat Xiao Wujin to a good meal. Mr. Xiao was so poor that he probably had never eaten anything good!

Xiao Wujin saw that Shen Ru was in high spirits, so he didn't insist anymore.

"Let's go then!"

In the largest restaurant in Liangzhou, Yan Shaoqing was discussing matters at the dinner table with several senior managers of the Yan family.

It was also an accidental glance, and Yan Shaoqing saw Shen Ruxiao Wujin walking into a private room under the leadership of the waiter.

These two people... Yan Shaoqing frowned, made an excuse, walked off the dining table, and walked directly towards the private room where Shen Ru and Shen Ru were.

"Why are you two... so cheerful?"

Yan Shaoqing didn't make any excuses. After knocking on the door, he said directly. The look on his face showed that he was not embarrassed. It was others who were embarrassed.
