"If I had known that this stone paint mine was so valuable, we would have bought two of them!"
"Hey! How could we have thought of such a thing?"
"Exactly! Who would have thought that that black stuff could be refined into car fuel!"
"The newspaper said that after refining the stone paint, in addition to being used as fuel for cars, it also has a wide range of uses...!"
After learning about the role of stone paint, the people felt regretful.
Such a good opportunity to make money passed them by!
The same goes for the officials, whose intestines are green with regret.
"Alas! There are two stone paint mines in the jurisdiction of a certain person, and black water is pouring out day and night. Although the mineral deposits are not large, if a certain person had bought them, he would have become rich in the future. What kind of official do you want to be?"
"Who says it's not the case! No one wanted that thing before, but unexpectedly it suddenly turned into a treasure!"
"You are really right. It is said that the stone lacquer mine is called black gold. Before His Majesty gave the order, each of the six ministers bought one or two!"
"Could it be...the two days when they all took leave?"
Speaking of this, the officials seemed to suddenly think of something.
"No wonder they would rather offend His Majesty than ask for leave together. It turns out it's because of this stone paint mine!"
"As expected, these weird things were created by His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"That's inevitable. Only His Highness the Prince's weird little mind can think of these things!"
"The six ministers have the best relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince. This will bring him glory!"
"Humph! If it were me, I would rather offend His Majesty than buy stone paint mine...!"
The ministers gathered together and chatted happily.
What else can they say at this time? I just regret that I am incompetent, talk softly, can't talk to His Highness the Prince, and missed such a good opportunity to make money!
Zhang Han, Wang Ben and other old guys played well with His Highness the Crown Prince. Who is not extremely rich now?
But there is no other way. It is useless to say anything now. All the ownerless stone paint mines have been nationalized.
I don’t have much in my hands at all!
The method of refining oil is not very complicated. Before Ying Feiyu told the old guys to buy oil mines, he had already found the refining method on Universal Search and gave it to the people at the Chinese Academy of Sciences to refine it according to the method.
Now it has been successfully refined.
Although the purity is not as high as that of later generations, it doesn’t hurt to use it!
So the whole of Xianyang started to get busy again.
The oil refinery outside the city is under construction in full swing, and the enrollment of the petroleum college in the city has also begun in full swing.
After the newspaper was published, people also saw the development prospects of oil. If you can work in an oil refinery, your salary will definitely be high.
But the first condition is that you must go through some study.
Fortunately, learning is free, and people are very motivated to sign up!
The internal combustion engine has not yet been successfully developed, so we must take advantage of this time to systematize the extraction and refining of oil.
In this way, after the internal combustion engine is built, it can be used smoothly!
Diesel and gasoline are consumed in large quantities. If we wait until the internal combustion engine is built before starting to mine them, there will inevitably be a shortage of supply!
That’s all for cars, but tractors can’t wait!
Don’t delay people’s production!
…
"Da Qin is really powerful, it is not something small countries like us can match!"
The hottest topic in Xianyang City is stone paint.
This also successfully attracted the attention of the kings of the Western Regions who stayed in Xianyang.
At this time, they were the most ordinary people in Da Qin.
To put it nicely, we can also call him a wealthy household!
Because Ying Zheng gave each of them a big house, and also rewarded them with a piece of land and slaves, and they could also receive a certain amount of money from the Ministry of Household Affairs every month for household expenses!
Almost all the guards and ministers who came with them before did not return to the Western Region and stayed directly as housekeepers and slaves!
No matter what, if you follow your old master, your life will be more comfortable!
After settling in, the kings of various countries will take these slaves around Xianyang City, and they will have a deeper understanding of Da Qin!
It is because they understand better that they become more afraid!
At the same time, I am also glad that I made the right choice, which saved the lives of everyone in their country!
Otherwise, Qin's 300,000-strong army, carrying artillery and other hot weapons, would not go to the Mauryan Dynasty, but to their Western Region countries!
Compared with the Mauryan Dynasty, the countries in the Western Regions were simply weak and could not withstand the attack of Qin Dynasty!
"Alas! Let's stop thinking about restoring the country. Da Qin is so powerful. Isn't it a good thing for our people to become the people of Da Qin?"
The kings couldn't help but sigh.
Only Queen Jingjue still had a trace of obsession in her eyes.
Just thinking of that kid's playful face made her angry!
After all, she was also the queen of a country at that time, and that boy actually asked her to be a maid?
This is simply a huge insult to myself!
"Uzen Naga Hai...?"
Just when Queen Jingjue and her party were returning to the mansion angrily after seeing the heated enrollment scene in the city, a soft voice suddenly sounded.
This voice made Queen Jingjue's footsteps freeze.
Because this is her real name.
She hadn't heard anyone call her that name in years.
In the country of Jingjue, it was impossible for anyone to call her by her first name.
It’s even more impossible in Da Qin!
It’s not that I don’t dare, it’s that no one knows!
Queen Jingjue subconsciously turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound.
She is a young woman with strangely white skin, a high nose, and exotic appearance, but she is dressed in Qin costumes.
"It's really you?"
Seeing Queen Jingjue turn around, the woman confirmed her identity and walked over with a joyful expression.
She is none other than Queen Loulan.
The two countries are not far apart and have always been good friends. When they were young, they often went to each other's country to play and lived there for several months. Their relationship was almost like that of biological sisters!
However, since they became heirs to the throne, they rarely see each other.
The friendship between the two countries is also maintained by ministers.
There is no way, they have to take care of state affairs and they really can't take care of it!
Queen Loulan never expected that after seeing each other for several years, they would meet again in Xianyang!
Queen Jingjue was stunned for a moment, then carefully looked at Queen Loulan's appearance, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "You are Ke Yue..."
"My name is Rosa now!"
Before Queen Jingjue could call out her name, Queen Loulan smiled lightly and interrupted.
That name is her name in Loulan.
And now that she has willingly become a citizen of Great Qin, how can she be called by her previous name?
"Rosa?"
Queen Jingjue seemed surprised.
"That's right!"
"Why are you here?"
After confirming that she had recognized the right person, Queen Jingjue's face became even more shocked.
I heard before that Loulan voluntarily surrendered and was willing to become a vassal state of Great Qin.
Later, Da Qin also helped Loulan resolve the besieging Wusun and Yuezhi.
Later, I heard that Loulan was willing to become a county of Da Qin, and the queen also took the initiative to abdicate and appointed the veteran Mulati as the county governor!
As for the Queen’s movements, there has been no news since then!
