"Your Majesty, I really confirm that the girl is indeed pregnant."
Under Song Yang's repeated questioning, the old doctor could only repeat the above rhetoric tirelessly.
If it had been anyone else, the old doctor would have given him a bag after asking over and over again.
"Really? Really?" Song Yang's face was full of joy, but he was still asking.
Both the old doctor and the old woman looked constipated.
But since my prince has asked, how dare commoners like them not to answer? He could only nod his head repeatedly without daring to be careless:
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to speak nonsense!"
"Haha! Hahaha!" Song Yang laughed.
Four years later, I finally became a father.
Song Yang was also troubled by the fact that the old Song family had few heirs.
We have traveled through time and space, and it actually made some things less energetic. Besides, we also need a lot of zinc supplements!
Now that Tong Qian finally has his heir, Song Yang is of course extremely excited.
"Doctor, doctor, does Xiaoqian want to take some tonics or find a place to raise her baby? Do you want..." Song Yang asked a lot of questions.
The doctor was speechless. It was only three months, and the fetus was very stable, so there was no need to specifically install the fetus.
But after Song Yang asked, the old doctor could only give some common sense advice.
For example, what you can and cannot eat, what you should eat more and less.
These are all routine things. Even if the old doctor doesn’t explain them, Tong Qian herself understands them.
"Okay, okay! I remember it. Lao Yu, reward me!"
Song Yang's face was full of joy, and he called Yu Ming to reward the old doctor and the old lady with twenty taels of silver each.
Outside Jiangzhou, the effect of food stamp circulation is average, mainly because it is slow to establish credibility, so you still have to use money when you go out.
In Jiangzhou, silver money has basically been discontinued, and various bills are enough to support daily currency circulation.
After sending away the old doctor and other outsiders, Song Yang wanted to have Tong Qian surrendered.
"Be careful, don't get tired."
Tong Qian wanted to go out for some fresh air, but Song Yang had to say a few words.
In the end, Tong Qian could only ignore Song Yang's nagging and go out when she wanted.
He also expressed forcefully that nothing happened to him now and he was in good health.
Song Yang wasn't angry either. He smiled and said, "Oh, yes. Go out and get some fresh air. A good mood will be good for the fetus!"
…
The birth of new life makes Song Yang happy every day.
My mood at work is also very good.
Especially a few days later, both Lai Mingxi and Wang Ben recruited hundreds of people to participate in the construction of the oil field.
With the addition of new labor force, the transformation of the swamp has accelerated rapidly.
By mid-September, the swamps near the oil wells had been completely transformed.
In addition to the previously discovered oil eye, a new one was discovered on the other side of the swamp.
And the environmental conditions of the oil eye there are better.
Therefore, the swamp reconstruction on both sides was completed almost at the same time.
Qi Yuan has already prepared two machines.
Moreover, during this period of time to transform the swamp, a lot of materials were transported from Jingling.
The three brothers Qi Yuan and Liu Bao cooperated to improve the oil production machine.
When the oil production machine was set up on the oil well, Song Yang couldn't help but sigh: "This oil production machine should be no less backward than the one in the early 20th century."
I saw two oil extraction machines constantly swinging up and down driven by the steam engine.
As the pendulum swings, the oil in the ground is continuously pumped up.
The pumped crude oil flows directly along the pipeline into large storage tanks at the edge of the swamp.
On the edge of the swamp, an area dedicated to oil refining was established.
A refinery furnace is arranged every 100 meters.
It is said to be an oil refining furnace, but it is actually a large iron barrel.
Therefore, for safety reasons, Song Yang ordered one to be placed every 100 meters.
And a protective wall should be built with sandbags between each refinery.
After making sufficient preparations, as the oil extraction machine continued to pump up the crude oil, the refinery furnace also began to continuously produce petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel and various lubricants.
In order to store these refined oil products, Song Yang customized hundreds of sealable iron barrels.
The various oils produced will be sorted and packed in iron drums.
"Qi Yuan. The current output of the oil field only needs to be able to guarantee forty or fifty barrels per day."
Song Yang summoned Qi Yuan to explain.
The oil field was initially completed in late September, and Song Yang also appointed Qi Yuan as the first oil field general manager.
And he left three hundred Renaissance troops as guards for the oil field.
Of course, there are also some workers brought by Wang Ben and Lai Mingxi.
Song Yang asked Qi Yuan to select a group of oil refiners.
Qi Yuan selected 200 people each from the people brought by Wang Ben and Lai Mingxi.
Three hundred guards plus four hundred workers, this is the first team of the oil field.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the students will live up to His Majesty's trust and reach the production of fifty barrels per day as soon as possible!"
Qi Yuan assured solemnly.
At present, there are only two oil wells, although the oil is continuously collected.
However, firstly, the collection depth is insufficient, and secondly, the mechanical efficiency can be improved.
The crude oil available is only enough to refine 30 barrels of various products every day.
The target Song Yang gave him was fifty barrels, which required the modification and upgrade of the oil production machine.
This is Qi Yuan's specialty, and he is confident in building a more efficient oil extraction machine.
Regarding technical matters, Song Yang can only provide limited help.
He could only temporarily teach Qi Yuan some fundamental things.
How much he can understand is up to him.
"Students, please remember the teachings of the prince!"
Qi Yuan couldn't immediately understand some of what Song Yang said to him, but it didn't stop him from taking good notes.
"Don't worry, you are good at what you do. We will first complete the small goal of fifty barrels, and then gradually increase production capacity."
"Right now, the use of refined oil is not much. All the finished products produced will be transported to Jiangzhou, and I will ask people to store them."
"You also need to ensure a certain amount of inventory here. Build an underground oil depot. It is best to have an inventory of about a thousand barrels."
Song Yang thought of some precautions and explained them to Qi Yuan one by one.
Qi Yuan also wrote everything down in his notebook.
His work attitude is very serious, which is why Song Yang feels confident to entrust him with such an important matter of the oil field.
After Qi Yuan left, Song Yang asked Yu Ming to find Wei Bin.
"Your Majesty! I'm here to greet you." Wei Bin bowed as soon as he arrived.
Song Yang told him that he didn't need to be so polite, but Wei Bin said that Song Yang saved his life, and it was necessary to do this to make him feel better, so Song Yang didn't force him.
"Wei Bin, from now on the security of the oil field will be left to you."
"In your spare time, build some bastions outside the oil field. I will leave you thirty squatting tiger cannons and mount the tiger crouching cannons on the bastions."
“Remember, there is absolutely no room for error in the oil field!”
Song Yang left 300 revival troops to Qi and Yuan, and the 100 households of these 300 people were Wei Bin.
Wei Bin was originally the commander-in-chief, and he was promoted to Baihu because of his contribution to finding oil.
But now, Song Yang said that he was related to oil and asked him to lead the team to stay and protect the safety of the oil field.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty! I will do my best to protect the oil field! If anyone dares to damage the oil field, I will make him pay the price!"
The reason Song Yang gave such a detailed explanation was because he was leaving the oil field again.
After more than a month of work, oil was found and the oil field was initially completed.
It's time to leave.
During this period, major events in Jiangzhou will be sent via letters.
Of course, what is said to be a major event is actually a normal development trajectory.
For example, the 3.0 steam locomotive modified by Wang Jinshi was successful, with stronger transportation capacity and faster speed.
The production of cannons and repeating guns was also going very smoothly. In the past month and a half, more than 20 pieces of both types of artillery were produced.
There is also Zhang Mina. According to the news sent by Fang Zhe, Zhang Mizhen has developed steam agricultural machinery.
Production has now begun, and the first prototype is expected to be produced within a month.
In the days when Song Yang was away, Jiangzhou was still making progress and developing.
These are the most gratifying places for Song Yang.
This shows that the reforms he led in Jiangzhou did not stagnate because of his absence.
Jiangzhou is developing, and he must continue on his journey.
This trip was about searching for oil, and Song Yang also had another task: to inspect Shannan East Road.
Stayed in the oil field for a month.
All officials at all levels in Shannan East Road knew that Song Yang had arrived.
Therefore, the working atmosphere in Shannan East Road has become more positive recently.
"Your Majesty, everything is packed. We can set off tomorrow morning."
The night before leaving, Song Yang arranged some things and arranged some personnel appointments and dismissals.
Yu Mingze is mainly responsible for arranging the departure itinerary.
Things are packed and we can leave tomorrow.
The first stop is to go back to Jingling. After staying outside for such a long time, Song Yang and the Renaissance Army soldiers also have to go to Jingling to rest for two days.
Of course, the three hundred guards who still need to stay can only camp and rest on the spot.
Song Yang's next itinerary was to go north to Yingzhou, Suizhou, Tangzhou, Dengzhou, Fangzhou, make a large circle and then return to Xiazhou.
Finally, take a boat down the river from Yiling.
He wanted to take the land route, and the sailors he brought out would first go to Yiling to wait for his return.
The task of guarding Song Yang was handed over to the Fuxing Army in Yingzhou.
I heard that Song Yang came to Shannan East Road.
Song Yun, who had inconvenient legs and feet, sent Bai Wenju here again.
And they brought a thousand elite troops, saying they were specifically to surround Song Yang's safety on Shannan East Road.
Song Yang couldn't refuse his cousin's kindness.
Moreover, the navy wanted to take the fleet to Yiling, and he only had 200 Renaissance troops left at his side. Yu Ming did feel that it was not enough.
Now that Bai Wenju has brought people to support him, Yu Ming is of course very happy.
Only Lai Mingxi was not happy. Originally, he wanted to win the task of escorting Song Yang.
However, Bai Wenju took out the letter written by Song Yun to Lai Mingxi.
Lai Mingxi cannot afford to offend Song Yang, nor can he afford to offend Song Yun.
Song Yang is really powerful, Song Yun is really sick.
It's pretty scary anyway.
He had no choice but to hand over the escort task to Bai Wenju.
"Your Highness, I wish you a safe journey. Don't worry about the oil field. I will fully cooperate with brother Qi Yuan to develop the oil field!"
Although Song Yang didn't particularly like Lai Mingxi, he still had to say the honest words he needed to say.
"Okay. Come, sir, I am very optimistic about you! Work hard and your future will be limitless!"
