The arrival of Zi Yu made Jiang Lang feel a little distressed. Now this expanded harbor is full of people, except for the crowds, and only turns, soil, and countless warships of all sizes accumulated by the sea. They are not as comfortable as the original home in Beijing.

However, Zi Yu is naturally beneficial when she comes. When she is tired, some people pinch their shoulders and hang their backs, and there are people accompanying them at night. Zi Yu's craftsmanship is also good. Although Emperor Jingtai was worried about Jianglang when he left the capital, so he sent a few imperial chefs. However, no matter how good the imperial chef's craftsmanship is, it is not as fragrant as the food made by his wife.

So these little days have become more comfortable. Of course, the indirect beneficiary is Sun Yuanbiao. In private, Jiang Lang treats him as a brother, and he often stays with Jiang Lang, so Jiang Lang does not treat him as an outsider when eating, and usually three people eat together.

As for the Komu Army, the spies sent here also returned to the information one after another. There were no large Komu Army activities on the sea. Occasionally, one or two were just robbing the passing merchant ships. Of course, the Ming Dynasty naturally would not use a large fleet to chase these Komu Army. In the vast sea, it was not easy to find one or two Komu Army ships.

Colleagues, the construction of this harbor did not stop at all. The Ming Dynasty's funds were injected continuously. It can be said that Jiang Lang can now lack anything, but he is not short of money.

Most of the soil in the lake was burned into bricks, and now the city wall has been built, the foundation has been raised, and the outline can be seen throughout the city wall.

As for the trends of the court, Qian Zhengbang was in charge of the East Factory, and this information was sent continuously. As he expected, the court was quite peaceful without his own. Every day, he went to court and went to court step by step. There were a lot of reforms, and every minister had a lot of things. He sent people to patrol successfully or deal with disputes. He was so busy that he was dizzy. A few of them were almost ill. As for the struggle for power and profit, they did not happen much. First, it was true.

Without that energy, the second is the court except Emperor Jingtai, Yu Qian. Yu Qian was upright and did not enter the oil and salt, and he would not do that at all. There was another person named Jiang Lang, but he was far away from Gao Qiang. As for the rest of the people who wanted to jump up, they did not have the courage. The Dongchang was still in Jiang Lang's hands. So surprisingly, the entire court was very quiet. Except for sometimes quarreling due to a certain decree, there was no such situation of frame-up or slandering each other.

As for the thorns, there was no big move, but the civil war was endless. The Ming Dynasty's actions made Tutuobuhua feel a little panicked, so he also wanted to unify the tribes as soon as possible. Just like the Ming Dynasty, all rights are the most important thing.

Of course, the tribe leaders would never agree, so they resisted. The consequence of the resistance was that many people of Wats began to flock to the more than 600 miles of grassland occupied by the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty announced that whenever they entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, after they were registered in the official uniform and were recognized, they would be the people of the Ming Dynasty, protected by the Ming Dynasty, and the conditions for recognition were very low. As long as you settle down, they would become increasingly prosperous in the city walls built by the Ming Dynasty on the grassland. According to Jianglang's original intention, the Ming Dynasty did not interfere with the customs and habits of these herdsmen, and the policies were quite lenient, and intermarriages were encouraged. So a few months later, there were many cases of intermarriages. After all, the Ming Dynasty also provided very generous conditions for intermarriages, one of which was that all intermarriages would be exempted from 30% of the tax. In a certain aspect, this was also a process of reasonable assimilation of Jianglang.

Relaxed policies and stable living environments are all the best conditions to attract these herdsmen to flee because of war. Therefore, the number of herdsmen in these 600-mile grasslands has increased very quickly. On the other hand, there are more and more places that can provide war horses for the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Tuotuobuhua also sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to protest, saying that the Ming Dynasty was robbing his people, but the Ming court ignored this at all. According to Emperor Jingtai's words, your people fled because you were fighting. If my Ming people were your people, I would not object.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, no one is willing to go to the thorns. Soldiers train hard, compete for military merits, and farmers work hard to farm. In addition to ensuring that they have food and clothing, they also retain surplus grain. Merchants work harder to do business. With less taxes and easier making money, no one is willing to make more money. The entire ancient land of China began to be full of vitality.

As for Jiang Lang, there was no war during this period, so he took a group of people around, but he was wearing casual clothes.

On that day, when passing by a small village, I suddenly saw a little panic in the village. Many people rushed into the house of the family. This strange situation immediately attracted Jiang Lang's attention. So with a wave of his hand, a group of people rushed over. When they approached, they saw a large iron hoop in the yard, and the water inside was gushes.

Below the iron pot is a stone trough, inside which is some black things. Now this thing is burning wildly, and black smoke is emitted, and there is also a very pungent smell.

"oil?"

This word suddenly appeared in Jiang Lang's mind, and he hurriedly squeezed in. After a closer look, the burning thing below was oil.

I couldn't help but feel happy. Now these people don't know what oil is, but in the future society, wars are going on for oil countries and endless wars happen repeatedly. Oil is directly related to the development of a country, so I hurriedly asked: "My fellow villager, I would like to ask, where did you find this thing!"

Although it is not clear whether HG produced oil in the original society, it seems that oil should have flowed out of this place. The old man in front of him did not have the ability to dig wells and extract oil, which should have happened by chance.

He was looking at the old man who was burning below with great enthusiasm and looked up and found that the person who asked him was a heroic young man. He didn't think about the reason why he asked him, so he said, "In the valley of the back mountain, the old man found it while chopping wood."

Jiang Lang was happy and hurriedly said, "Can you take us to see?"

At the same time, he gave Sun Yuanbiao a wink. Sun Yuanbiao immediately understood and took out a piece of silver and put it in the old man's hand.

The old man was shocked and didn't expect that the man would return the money he gave him, so he nodded quickly and led the way in front.

Under the leadership of the old man, Jiang Lang and his friends came to the back mountain. In a valley, they saw what he said was pitch black. The black oil was slowly flowing out and had already accumulated a lot, as if it was like a black pond, with a pungent smell.

Jianglang knows the benefits of these things. Oil is also crude oil. It was a very viscous liquid that was not refined before. It has strong adhesion and is very easy to catch fire. Although the turtle oil used in the last naval battle finally achieved the predetermined effect, it also exposed a lot of problems. Moreover, the artillery of the Ming Dynasty is solid bullets. In naval battles, it is not easy to heat it with an iron ball that moves in a cannon that is only more than two meters to ignite wood. Therefore, in naval battles, the power of the cannon is really limited, and there are not many warships that burn when they are hit by artillery. So Jianglang now has an idea, that is, to put gunpowder or something that is easy to burn in the iron ball. Once it hits the warship, it can quickly catch fire. For wooden warships, fire is undoubtedly the biggest threat.

Gunpowder is good, but it can be made, but it is troublesome to burn things. In the original society, the combustion bombs mostly use aluminum thermal agents, yellow phosphorus, napalm, thickened triethylaluminum and thickened gasoline, etc., to generate high temperatures and damage targets; propelling drugs or explosives are used to break the bullet body and ignite and spread the combustion agent to the target. In modern battlefields, combustion aviation bombs are mostly used, and the commonly used are mixed combustion aviation bombs and napalm aviation bombs. The former is thickened gasoline with aluminum thermal agent, and the bullet body is smaller, with a bullet weight of about 10 to 50 kg; the latter is equipped with napalm and yellow phosphorus, and the bullet weight can reach 500 kg.

But now there are no such things. The things that can burn are nothing more than grease, so Jianglang has been thinking about what to use quickly and stably, and is not afraid of water. If he finds it, in the future, in the battle, the shells with explosives and oil-filled shells will be used in turn, which will be a disaster for those wooden ships.

Today, when Jiang Lang saw the rolling oil flowing out with a pungent smell, he felt as if he had seen a treasure. With a wave of his hand, he immediately said to Sun Yuanbiao: "Send people to guard this place immediately, and do not allow anyone to approach. At the same time, make wooden barrels, put these things in the bucket and then go to the port. Remember, do not make fires nearby, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

Jiang Lang's words scared the old man and then realized that he had met an amazing person.

Sun Yuanbiao immediately sent someone back to report, and at the same time he warned others that no one was allowed to approach.

Zi Yu frowned and said strangely: "What is this thing? It smells so bad and it's pitch black!"
