Oil had just begun to be exploited at this time, and the technology was limited. No matter how we exploited it, there would be no waste of resources, and there would be no risk of depletion.
So don't be afraid of anything.
For Shen Mingzhu, she has caught up with time travel and rebirth, so nothing is impossible. She feels that she has plenty of time and energy. Even if she cannot make modern things, at least she can use oil to make her life better.
Have a more relaxed life.
It is still necessary to improve productivity and solve the food and clothing problems of our own people.
Life in Wubao is basically self-sufficient, and you can even sell excess items to other places and exchange them for more items.
There are also many large households with wealthy people in the Yun family, and many of them still have to pay taxes to the court.
After all, not paying taxes is the privilege of the Yun family and several major families, not the privilege of ordinary people.
Even if the Yun family and several major families occupied a lot of land and sheltered many hidden households, they could not blatantly include the entire land in the territory, and they would still have to give the court some teeth.
They eat meat, but they also have to make people drink some broth, otherwise I'm afraid there will be trouble.
Therefore, although Shen Mingzhu's Chuwu Fort was very large, it did not cause much impact.
After all, many families have their own small cities, and the Huang family even built their own city in Guihai County.
The euphemistic name is to defend against Japanese pirates, but in fact, there are still private soldiers of their own families. If someone wants to illegally invade their family's city, I'm afraid it's not that easy to talk to.
Naturally, everyone followed suit. As long as it didn't go too far and didn't expand outward, the imperial court and the Yun family didn't care.
Therefore, Shen Mingzhu's Wubao was safe and sound, and it developed peacefully and smoothly for several years.
Over the years, they have mined coal mines, and then used their own methods to process some coal for sale, which is also a source of income for Wubao.
Shen Mingzhu had visited the coal mine, and the structure inside was still very reasonable. There had been no landslides in these years. She also specifically told Fei Yunhu to put safety first.
On this day, Shen Mingzhu was discussing important matters with Fei Yunhu and others, determining the future development route, how to recruit more people, produce more food, etc.
Fei Ying, the chief steward in Wubao, hurried over, saluted, and reported: "Your Majesty, Miss, something unexpected happened outside."
Shen Mingzhu turned around and looked over, "What do you mean? Tell me slowly."
The chief steward Fei Ying looked at Fei Yunhu. He was Fei Yunhu's younger brother. He was just a concubine and had always been a thorn in his wife's side. Therefore, he had no status in the family, so he simply followed Fei Yunhu out.
"Fortmaster, Dalang went to exchange salt with Guihai County, but was detained. Several of our people were injured, and two of them died."
Because Fei Ying has experienced the warmth and coldness of the human world, he is calm at all times.
Fei Yunhu suddenly jumped up, frowning angrily, "What? That bastard from Guihai County dares to bully us!"

These chapters are an introduction to the foundation of the Pearl. The farm produces food, here produces salt and soldiers. Only with these foundations can we do bigger things. Because the next step will be very tense. If you have soldiers in your hands, who will get sick?
You're not afraid of him, no matter if he's the emperor, the prince, or some other enemy, hehe.
