I am the king of the dead

Hu Wei was taken aback, he had never heard of such rumors, but if His Majesty had heard of such rumors, there must be such rumors!

"There is an envoy from the Great Qin Kingdom in the Western Regions. I heard that Nikolaoz mentioned it. It is true. In some places in the Western Regions, this thing is an ordinary thing, like a stone in a mountain. You can take it away."

"It's rich and oily, and black gold is everywhere." Hu Yi fully agreed and made a footnote for what His Majesty said.

This is a narrative method, a footnote for Daming Kaihai.

The Han and Tang Dynasties liked to say that Rome was full of gold and silver, and the door frames were made of ivory; Rome said that China was full of fine iron, silk, and fine porcelain.

Its purpose is all for the political purpose of opening borders.

Jin Lian believed it.

Why would he believe His Majesty's exaggerated statement?

Because the country of Wa really has countless silver, and the Japanese silver is constantly flowing in, effectively alleviating the money shortage of Ming Dynasty.

The money shortage problem that has plagued the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years is finally possible to be solved. How can he not believe it?

Your Majesty said that there is such a precious oil somewhere in the Western Regions, Jin Lianxin.

"Where is it?" Jin Lian asked with wide-eyed eyes.

Zhu Qiyu suppressed a smile, and said calmly: "I don't know, I have to look for it."

The ministers came to celebrate the New Year, not to discuss state affairs, but to chat for a while, and they left Tai'an Palace with their own lanterns.

Daming's New Year's Eve is the afternoon of the New Year's Eve. When the nine people left, it was already dark because of the snow.

Nine people, each holding a lamp, aroused a lot of discussion among the people.

It was really too bright, the bright light in front of the entire Tai'an Palace hit the snowflakes, illuminating the entire Lantern City Street.

The ministers waiting for an audience stared blankly at the nine people leaving with one such lamp each.

The ministers stretched their necks and watched the Minggongs leave until the light left the corner of the street, and the earth fell into darkness again.

The red lanterns in front of Tai'an Palace only illuminated a small area, and the lights of Tai'an Palace, which were already very bright in the past, suddenly became dim.

Getting used to the brightness just now, the eyes of all the ministers went dark, and it took a long time to get used to this uncomfortable darkness.

It is human nature to be afraid of darkness and yearn for light.

If only every household could have a lamp like this...

Zhu Qiyu continued to accept the New Year greetings from the ministers. Every minister pursed his lips when he saw the bright light oil lamp in Tai'an Palace.

This year's Tai'an Palace is extraordinarily bright.

Hu Wei went to the Huitong Hall and met Nikolaoz.

Your Majesty said that the Western Regions are full of black gold, and oil is flowing everywhere, so Nikolaoz should cooperate. After Tianming Festival, the group of envoys will meet. I hope that Nikolaoz can cooperate with His Majesty to complete this narrative.

"Ah, this matter." Nikolaoz said full of doubts: "Isn't it?"

"In Persia, there is a god of light named Hulumos, whose subjects will never fall into darkness. Alexander, the Kingdom of Macedonia, sent his general Hormuzya to find this place. "

"The oil you mentioned was also used in Rome. We mixed oil and lime and used it as a rocket."

"Homer said: The Trojans kept throwing fire on the fast ship, and the ship suddenly burst into flames that were difficult to extinguish. It was this kind of fire oil."

"There are many oil seedlings and gas seedlings in Horumos. You can collect oil from the oil seedlings and treat camels, horses, cattle and sheep...mange."

Hu Wei originally asked Nikolaoz to cooperate to smooth this matter for His Majesty, but Nikolaoz actually said something serious.

"Churmos? The God of Light?" Hu Mei frowned and muttered to himself, then stood up abruptly and said, "Churmus!"

This name is very familiar, and Hu Wei has already remembered it. This is a word that frequently appeared in Daming after Zheng He's voyages to the West.

"I'm leaving first." Hu Wei stood up abruptly, and headed towards his small attic.

He was carrying an extremely bright lamp, which surprised Nikolaoz, it was really bright.

Could it be that the supreme Emperor Ming is the incarnation of the God of Light?

Otherwise, how could there be such a bright country.

Hu Yan checked the information for a long time, and then ran to Tai'an Palace excitedly.

Today is New Year's Eve, according to regulations, the curfew was lifted, so Hu Wei did not violate the curfew, he walked in a hurry, and the light oil lamp was swinging by his side.

Zhu Qiyu was on vigil, processed some official documents, and tried to roll the reed, but still didn't know how it should be rolled.

"Hu Shangshu is so late, why did he come again suddenly?" Zhu Qiyu put down the reed in his hand and asked rather puzzled.

Hu Yan was very excited and said: "Your Majesty, I have found it. There is really a country full of black gold."

"Their people can take black oil from the oil seedlings and burn them."

"It's too wasteful! It's really too wasteful!"

"It's this Khurmos, the local people are Oguz people with nine Turkic surnames in the Tang Dynasty!"

The Oghuz people are actually one of the Turkic tribes.

Hu Ming said excitedly: "Their Sultan Jihanger once offered this kind of indelible oil when he paid tribute."

"Your Majesty, there is really a place that is so rich that it is full of black gold!"

Chapter 463 Your Majesty Bless the Ship!

During the Chinese New Year holidays, the emperor would issue an order to cancel the curfew, and the capital was very lively that night.

Daming also has regulations on the setting off of fireworks, mainly to prevent fires, so on the day of the Chinese New Year, firecrackers are not allowed in the East City and West City.

Everyone covered them with iron rods and hung them on the door. When entering and leaving, they had to hit the iron rods to make a loud noise.

Throwing iron rods, hitting straight and rampaging, Ji Ji pendant, just like people burning firecrackers on New Year's Eve, it is really a match for the opponent, and the outcome is hard to tell, resounding through the streets.

On the North Street of Qingqingfang where Tai'an Palace is located, it is called Dengshi, where a huge Aoshan lantern was erected.

According to legend, in the ocean to the east of the Bohai Sea, there are five fairy mountains: Daiyu, Yuanqiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou, and Penglai. These five fairy mountains are carried by giant turtles in the sea.

The street of Lantern City is the place where lanterns are sold during the Chinese New Year, and it is very lively.

Aoshan, the mountain of lights, has been tied with colorful paintings since the winter solstice. On New Year's Eve, when the Tai'an Palace on His Majesty's side is empty of people celebrating the new year, the Aoshan lights on the other side are immediately lit up.

Ao Mountain is about 360 feet high and 24 steps wide. There are two Ao pillars in the middle, [-] feet long, with golden dragons wrapped around them, and a burning lamp in its mouth, which are called double dragons.

In previous years, Aoshan Lantern was the brightest lantern in the Ming Dynasty.

However, everyone who visited the Lantern City this year suddenly discovered that a brighter lantern appeared in front of the gate of Tai'an Palace.

Taking a closer look, it was Ming Gong Hu Wei holding the light oil lamp given by His Majesty, waiting to be summoned.

The Minggong of Ming Dynasty became the literal Minggong.

Really very bright.

When Hu Wei carried the light oil lamp and headed towards Tai'an Palace, it almost lit up the whole street.

After the curfew was lifted, the people wandering around Dengshikou watched dully as Hu Wei walked into the Tai'an Palace.

The Minister of Rites is responsible for part of the foreign affairs, such as sorting out the tributes of the past dynasties.

The tributes of the various vassal states are in a mess, including maidens, fish oil, swords, crystals, sulfur, sumac, cowhide, spices, medicinal materials, lacquerware, rare and exotic animals, and so on.

But these seafood are not rare items. The emperor has them, and most of the luxurious and luxurious houses also have them.

But it was the first time I saw such a bright light.

Hu Yi took out the new Tang book and the old Tang book. The old Tang book was compiled by the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. In the era of frequent wars, the quality of the old Tang book is really not flattering.

The new book of Tang was completed in 17 years by Song Qi, Ouyang Xiu and others in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Ouyang Xiu is the leader of Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal.

Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal was not peaceful from the beginning, because Song Renzong had no children.

Song Renzong's only child who did not die at birth was his second son, Zhao Xin, who died in the first year of Qingli.

The emperor has no heirs, it is abandoned by heaven, it is immoral.

Song Renzong's childlessness kept Song Renzong in a passive state.

However, in the Song Dynasty, the three redundant officials, redundant staff, and redundant soldiers have become serious diseases, and it is time to change.

Among the reformers of the Qingli New Deal, they also couldn't exert their energy in one direction.

Amidst the huge wave of opposition, Song Renzong became hesitant, and the conservatives quickly discovered Song Renzong's hesitation and created more wind.

In the end, Song Renzong was forced to abandon the Qingli New Deal.

After Fan Zhongyan lost the support of the emperor, the New Deal was quickly and comprehensively defeated.

The new Tang book compiled by Ouyang Xiu and others has also become the target of criticism, and more than 400 mistakes and omissions from the old Tang book have been singled out.

Killing and punishing one's heart is not only Zhu Qiyu's unique skill, the literati of the Song Dynasty are also very good at it.

Song Renzong had no choice but to recognize the old Tang book, which had been discarded, as the official history of the Tang Dynasty.

So there is an example of the new Tang book and the old Tang book being the official history of the Tang Dynasty.

Song Renzong had no heirs, and after the death of his only three-year-old child, Song Renzong fell into complete passivity.

This is exactly the same as Ming Dynasty Zong's experience.

Ming Dynasty Zong's son Zhu Jianji died, and he has never had a child. He is passive and constrained everywhere.

The DPRK and the Chinese Communist Party were full of misfortunes, and finally the people were panicked, and the speculators finally launched a brazen move to seize the door.

A son is one of the emperor's bargaining chips. Whether it is a legitimate son or a concubine, as long as there is one, there is a successor.

Without a son, even the die-hard royal party has to weigh up, support the emperor to the death, and be determined to innovate, what will happen in the end.

So Zhu Qiyu only lived in Tai'an Palace.

Palace?

Whoever loves to live lives, as long as he dares.

Anyway, Zhu Qiyu couldn't live.

The imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty and the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty are the same, and they are not safe.

As soon as Zhu Di moved the capital, two of the three main halls were burned down. During Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, even the Qianqing Palace was set ablaze, saying that the fire was caused by firecrackers.

Zhu Qiyu signaled Xing'an to turn on the bright light oil lamp, and looked at the old papers and books brought by Hu Wei.

He put down the old and new Tang books, and said with emotion: "It's really since ancient times."

The westward advance of the Turkic people didn't mean that they also brought the Oirats first, taking advantage of the emperor's southward march, so that they could organize their forces in their spare time and advance westward in an orderly manner.

They also first went to the Western Regions to become the king and hegemony, and they went to the khan position of the Golden Horde.

The Turks were beaten away by Datang.

The main tribes are Tuqishi, Ogus, Geluolu, Qincha, Karaji, Yangmo, Chuyue and other tribes.

The Tuqishi Khanate is the Khanate that took the important town of Suiye City from Tang Xuanzong.

The Turks ran too far and couldn't catch up, so the Tang Dynasty simply canonized their khanate.

This is how the nine surnames of Zhaowu came from.

Hulumos, that is, Ogus, is a pronunciation that means arrow clusters.

Nine surnamed Ugus used to live near the Yili River, but when the Tang Dynasty came, they had no choice but to leave.

"That's why they really have a place where oil flows when they stomp their feet...Oil, from the coal, leaks out, accumulates in the ground, and gradually becomes a pool. .” Zhu Qiyu finished reading this passage.

Drill a hole and the oil will blow out like a blowout.

Daming is just a Yanchang County, and it has to be drilled to a depth of [-] feet, and [-] catties of light oil can be harvested a year.

The first oil well in the United States is only 22 meters deep, which is not much different from ordinary water wells.

Hu Wei took out another pile of books and put them on the table and said: "Your Majesty, Xuanweisi in the old port also has oil. It is a low-lying place, and it is similar to this one. The chiseler drills a hole, and the upper reaches are like a spring."

"This is "Ya Guan Ji" written by Chen Liangshao, "Hua Yi Sheng Lan" written by Kuang Yu, this is "Ying Ya Sheng Lan" written by Ma Huan, and this is "Xing Cha Sheng Lan" written by Fei Xin. This is "Western Fan Guo Zhi" written by Gong Zhen."

Hu Wei released five books, saying that he was not talking nonsense.

He thoughtfully turned the books to where he wanted to point them.

Chen Liangshao and Kuang Yu were doctors accompanying Zheng He on his voyages to the West. They both described in their books that local people in Java used asphalt and heavy oil to treat mange.
