And this huge change is bound to bring about a completely reborn improvement in combat power.
Only with such a huge increase in combat power that others cannot replicate, the territory of China will be truly safe...
Unlike many people with lofty ideals in China who always want to put construction first and get economically prosperous first, in Li Sheng's eyes, the Tang Dynasty's first priority was always territorial security.
Because only Li Sheng knows...
China, the home of a super empire, is naturally excellent.
But China's Tang Dynasty is not the only outstanding empire in this world.
Arabia, Rome, which one of these is not a big empire with a lot of bullshit?
Even in the Americas, there was the ancient Inca Empire at this time, a similar barbarian country, and its military power was no joke.
Without a solid military force to back it up, any economic development... is all for nothing, just working as a wedding dress for others.
Because of this, Li Sheng is very worried now that there are no oil fields anywhere.
How to deal with this special girl...
"Is this oil... really so important?"
Seeing Li Shengchou, Wu Meiniang seemed to be very worried, and she felt distressed for no reason.
However, Li Sheng shook his head...
"Isn't it just important? In the next few hundred years, all nations in the world will shed countless blood for this thing."
Li Sheng's words were not a joke, they were fucking true.
Otherwise, why would the Arab Empire be reduced to pieces by the great powers now? Isn't it because of its heavy treasures?
But if there is no clue, then there is no clue. No matter how much Li Sheng worries about this, it is useless.
Soon Li Sheng shook his head.
Wu Meiniang secretly felt distressed, but...the oil field Li Sheng mentioned was also a completely unfamiliar new vocabulary to her.
I haven't heard of it myself, so what can I do? I can't help, so I can only say a few words of relief.
but……
After these few days, Wu Meiniang was in Hangzhou presiding over a number of commercial affairs in the industrial zone, including the "International Hotel", the shipyard, and some shops opened in the industrial zone.
It is said that Wu Meiniang is really talented, and she is really good at managing business assets in an orderly manner.
But that day Wu Meiniang received a seemingly ordinary piece of news, but it caught her attention.
Because this day...
Wu Meiniang was handling paperwork in the industrial zone when she suddenly saw a maid coming to report a message.
"Girl, there is news recently that there seems to be a big buyer buying oranges from everywhere. I don't know why..."
Since Wu Meiniang manages the commercial affairs of the industrial zone, collecting information is of course part of her job. This is accomplished by her maids and various connections.
The maid reported the news without much expression on her face. She was just reporting the latest business information in Hangzhou as a routine.
But after listening to this, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but fell into deep thought!
Because she always feels that "orange" seems to have a very special feeling...
I haven't been particularly fond of eating oranges since I was a child, I just treat them as an ordinary fruit.
But when I heard the news today, I had a different feeling in my mind.
I can't tell you exactly why.
When the maid saw Wu Meiniang beginning to think deeply, she left. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by Wu Meiniang.
"Xiaohuan, don't leave yet, let me think about it first."
"girl?"
"Um……"
Wu Meiniang stretched out her hand and made a downward gesture, signaling maid Xiaohuan to stop talking and to think by herself.
This is Wu Meiniang's personal maid since she was a child. People around her do not call her "Mr. Wu" according to Li Sheng's wishes, nor are they called "Miss" in the master-servant relationship of other families, but "Girl".
Wu Meiniang thought for a long time...
I always feel that this news is important, but I can never remember the specific information!
But she finally thought of it.
"Yes...I remembered!"
Wu Meiniang screamed suddenly, almost startling the maid.
The eldest daughter in my family has been a lady since she was a child. It is obvious from everyone's family background that she has excellent manners. I have always envied Wu Meiniang. When will Wu Meiniang have such a surprised look?
But Wu Meiniang had no time to hide her excitement. At this moment, her eyes only shone with excitement!
Because in the past few days, because Li Sheng was worried about oil resources, Wu Meiniang naturally became concerned.
So she did some research and found out that the young master had made a weapon for Datang called "Burning Dan".
And one of the medicinal materials used to burn dan is "petroleum"!
For Wu Meiniang, this oil is a medicinal material and nothing else.
Anyway, if the young master wants it, then I will pay attention to it for the young master and that will be it.
The Young Master is a person who cares about the world's major affairs. If you want to be in the position, how can you not share the worries for the Young Master...
So by the way, I learned that this strange thing called "burning dan", one of the medicinal ingredients is petroleum, and the other ingredient is something called "lemon".
When understanding this thing, of course Wu Meiniang...
He immediately knew what lemon was. After all, he was... well, he could be considered Li Sheng's person...
Of course, Li Sheng's eating habits and so on were passed on to Wu Meiniang, and she also knew about lemons.
Lemon juice is required, Wu Meiniang also memorized this information.
but!
If it were just this little information, today's news about Orange would not have caught her attention.
Because after the investigation, Wu Meiniang obtained another piece of information.
If you don’t have lemon juice, you can use orange juice instead!
Wu Meiniang didn't know what the medical similarities and differences between these two things were, but she still remembered the information.
Anyway, in short, in a nutshell.
Lemons are currently not grown on a large scale in Datang, and even in other places... I have basically never heard of them.
Therefore, the alternative option of oranges is quite important, and Wu Meiniang also remembered this - as a business elite, the memory is certainly no joke.
It is also because of this that today’s information caught Wu Meiniang’s attention!
the reason is simple.
The current season has just entered summer, the current orange production is not high, and the weather has warmed up.
What do you mean, the orange production is not high at this time, but the production is gradually increasing——
The output is gradually increasing, so why are you hoarding oranges? If you have too much money, you will lose everything, right?
Unreasonable!
Second, since it is summer, the weather is of course gradually getting warmer, especially since this is Jiangdong...it is even hotter in summer.
It makes even less sense to hoard oranges at this time.
Of course, there is a certain possibility that someone wants to buy oranges and make fruit wine to sell.
Fruit wine was invented because of Li Sheng, and it is quite popular now, but the possibility is not high.
Because it is impossible to buy so many oranges to make wine!
Then...this strange buyer who purchased a large amount of oranges seems very suspicious!
