Chapter 564

"Oil!"

Wang Kang spat out two words in a soft voice!

"Oil?"

Zhou Qing was puzzled. He had never heard of this kind of address before, but he knew that it would be extraordinary for his young master to say that it was a good thing.

Wang Kang was also surprised to meet this kind of thing. In fact, in ancient China, oil had been discovered and used for a long time.

Especially in war, it is widely used.

In the Tang Dynasty, oil was also known as shizhishui, and later it was also called Menghuo oil. Because of its characteristics, it burned violently in case of fire.

And the water still does not extinguish, but because of the fluidity of water, the combustion is more violent

Of course, petroleum is of great use and is the most important raw material for the organic chemical industry.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a special ordnance management organization, the ordnance supervisor, which was specialized in processing oil.

At that time, the military status of oil was already very high.

It's a great surprise to meet this object. In the face of the coming difficult war, if it can be used properly, it will have a wonderful effect.

So we must not let it go.

Then Wang Kang asked the old man to find his son.

His son, Liu Fugui, is a handyman. He usually helps the caravan to pick up goods, carry things and do some hard work.

Now that the war is coming, the foreign caravan has long been withdrawn and has no work to do. Responding to the call of the city owner, they joined the transportation team and worked hard.

Soon found this guy, explain the reason, Liu Fugui is very excited.

After all, it's a rare honor for him to be able to help the city guard himself.

According to Liu Fugui, he brought back half a barrel of oil half a month ago. He went out to cut wood and found it in a gully outside the city.

There is a small river, on which there is a layer of dark substance, like oil.

He fished half a bucket back, it can burn, fire is still very fierce, but the smoke is too big to use at home.

Just at this time, a war notice was issued to collect fire oil for city defense, and old man Liu sent it

"Is there much oil like this?" Wang Kang asked

"More," Liu Fugui said, "on the whole river, there are floating people!"

Hearing this, Wang Kang has been convinced that this is oil. Generally, oil is deep underground, but there are also special circumstances.

Probably due to the influence of formation pressure, the oil buried in the ground runs to the surface and floats on the water.

If it is like what Liu Fugui said, the reserves should not be small, which is really a surprise.

Then Wang Kang let Liu Fugui lead the way to the gully.

The gully is outside Fengan city. It's not too far away. I'll be there soon.

There is a small river in the gully, and it is not surprising that there is a layer of oil floating on it

After repeated confirmation, Wang Kang patted Liu Fugui on the shoulder and said with a smile, "what reward do you want for your meritorious service?"

"Did you make a contribution?"

Liu Fugui's face was stunned. He could make contributions even if he was a good player, but he soon understood that this oil must be needed today.

He shook his head and said, "I don't want any reward. I have only one request. Can I join the army?"

"Join the army?"

Wang Kang asked strangely, "do you want to be a soldier?"

He didn't expect to make such a request.

"Yes, I want to be a soldier and defend Fengan city!"

Liu Fugui looked at Wang Kang expectantly and added, "I've always been a handyman, and I have a lot of strength."

"Think about it. Being a soldier will kill people. No one can guarantee that."

"I think about it!"

Liu Fugui firmly said: "feng'an city is our home, I also want to contribute."

"Good job!"

Wang Kang can not help but sigh.

"Go back and discuss with your father..."

"No, I told my father a long time ago, and he agreed."

"OK, I've approved."

Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "now I'll give you the next task."

"you said, I promise to finish it!"

"I'll send someone for you to salvage all the oil from the river. You have less than three days to salvage as much as possible. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Liu Fugui said again: "fishing needs to go down the river. I have to find a few people who know how to swim. They all work with me. They are quick hands and feet."

"No problem. I'll have someone coordinate for you."

After this arrangement, Wang Kang went back to feng'an city. He was the city guard and needed him too much.

It's really a lack of skills.

Under his arrangement, everything is in an orderly way.

In this way, two days passed, and by noon of the third day, all preparations and fortifications were basically completed.Including the underpass.

It can be completed in such a short time, mainly because of the large number of people and great strength, and the continuous work day and night

The soldiers in charge of arson have been hiding in the tunnel under the Xiqiu basin.

The fire materials and oil are ready there.

Kerosene has been completely replaced by petroleum, which is more efficient.

Except for them, everyone else has retreated to the city.

Because according to the scouts, the vanguard of Yue State has entered the territory of Zhao state. I'm afraid it will arrive at feng'an city in the evening!

War is really near!

Wang Kang's heart is not calm, a little nervous, this is a very normal thing.

It's a real war, and it's his first experience!

I'm not afraid that's false.

How many soldiers and civilians in feng'an city are on his shoulders. Wang Kang also felt the pressure and the burden for the first time!

In spite of this, he can not show the slightest panic, because he is the city guard, he is the backbone!

In the eyes of outsiders, although the city guard is young, he is just like a veteran.

Calm, calm.

The arrangement is in good order!

Only he himself knew that, in fact, he was in a panic

Rare leisure, take advantage of this opportunity, Wang Kang also in order to relax, in the courtyard of the pavilion, roasted meat.

In his company, Zhongmei, Li Qingman, Xie WANYING, and the two twin maids sent by Wang Yuan.

They have been trained by Xie WANYING

Barbecue Zizi sound, a drop of hot oil along the grain of the meat slowly slide down, meat fragrance overflowing.

Xie WANYING asked in a hurry, "are you ready?"

She pursed her lips from time to time.

"Be reserved, will you?"

Wang Kang speechless way: "good or bad is also the saint of the supreme church."

Xie WANYING naturally said: "only food can live up to."

The first time she had a barbecue was in Kyoto. After that, she was fascinated.

At this time, Fang Qingxue came in from outside the hospital. Her spirit didn't seem to be very good, and her face was a little haggard.

During this period, she is also very busy.

"Lord Fang?"

Wang Kang shouts: "come here and have some barbecue."

Fang Qingxue sees Wang Kang surrounded by beautiful women, and she can't help but stay. This guy is worthy of being born into a noble family, but she can really enjoy it.

Just as she wanted to refuse, she passed by.

Li Qingman also said: "the Lord of Fangcheng, please sit down and eat. Wang Kang's craftsmanship is very good."

"What is this?"

Fang Qingxue looks at her and feels that she has a good appetite. She is very busy during this period of time. She really doesn't eat much

At this time, Lin Zhen ran over and said in a hurry: "my Lord, the Yue army is coming..."
