The Prodigal Son of the Empire

Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "As long as there is the word Taiyi, it is a problem. Speaking of which, why haven't Monk Yinyue and Yunyan come back?"

"It should be soon, it's been a long time since I left."

"Ah."

The two chatted about other things, and Wang Kang also intentionally shifted away, not wanting to put too much pressure on Li Qingman.

"My lord, there is a major discovery."

At this time, a soldier of the Pingxi Army came to report.

"major discovery?"

Wang Kang asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Go and have a look."

"it is good."

Then Wang Kang took Li Qingman to follow the pawn. Before he arrived, the island was still barren and undeveloped, with only idle fishermen and a small group of pirates.

Wang Kang is stationed, and as the main construction site, it is natural to vigorously develop and send troops to eliminate pirates on the island and explore at the same time.

Presumably during this process, something was discovered.

"General."

"General."

Greet everyone you see.

"Ah."

The terrain of the island was uneven, and Wang Kang and the others rode horses. When they reached a ravine, the soldiers leading the way stopped.

"The general can only walk in front of him."

"it is good."

A group of people got off their horses and started to walk again. There were many puddles and mud swamps here, and the road was rugged. After walking for a while, they reached their destination.

This is a large swamp.

When they arrived, Wang Kang immediately knew what they found...

Wang Kang asked slightly pleasantly: "Who found it?"

"It's him."

"you again."

Wang Kang looked at this strong man and said with a smile: "It's okay to be rich, I remember you discovered it in Feng'an City before."

"Yes."

Liu Fugui scratched his head.

"good."

Wang Kang looked at this puddle, and what he could see was not water, but a dark, viscous substance called black fire oil, also known as petroleum.

When he was in Feng'an City, it was also Liu Fugui who discovered it, and played a miraculous effect in the Feng'an defense battle, causing great trauma to Chen Tang's army.

Unexpectedly, here, I discovered that this puddle is not small, and it is covered with flat water, which should be overflowing from the ground.

Petroleum is a good thing. If used properly, it has great value.

It is used as a fire attack, and it is also very effective in water battles. Oil is not extinguished when it meets water, which is its characteristic.

It seems that there are many good things about this island.

Thoughts flashed.

Wang Kang smiled and said: "Good job, this discovery is very important."

"Liu Fugui."

"exist!"

"You have previous experience in collecting black fire oil, and I will leave this matter to you. Collect and place them neatly."

"Yes!"

Liu Fugui immediately responded and began to arrange, while Wang Kang also went to specifically detect the stock. Under the current conditions, it is impossible to carry out large-scale underground mining, and it can only be collected when encountering this kind of natural formation...

But this is only the beginning.

With in-depth exploration, far more than black fire oil was discovered.

When leveling the land and digging, the workers found a black lump, which was confirmed by Wang Kang as coal!

Undoubtedly, this was another surprising discovery.

In fact, compared with the whole world, our country was also a country that used coal earlier in ancient times.

Needless to say, the importance of coal.

Daily forging, burning lime, burning cinnabar, burning sulfur, daily use for heating.

The key is coke iron smelting.

This can greatly increase the efficiency of steelmaking. This is a very important source of energy. It can realize many of his ideas, and the benefits are endless...

Treasure Island!

It really is a treasure island!

At present, it seems that not only is it completed, but so far, it has shown great profitability.

All kinds of exploration and discovery, such as the excavation of oil, mineral deposits, etc., all require a lot of labor and manpower, and the recruitment can only be expanded...

This kind of movement shocked more people. Outsiders said, is this master crazy? What is there on this shiny island?

Is there still a golden mountain?

All kinds of rumors were passed on, which also caused people to have doubts, speculation, and jealousy, which attracted the attention of everyone around them.

Nanbo City of Yan State, and even the pirates in the surrounding waters, all stared at it.
