Daming Military Empire

Chapter 570 Oil Refining
As the daily affairs of the imperial court were gradually handed over to the cabinet, there were fewer and fewer affairs to be dealt with in the early court. Generally, there were only a dozen major events every day, and the confrontation between the monarch and his ministers was almost over in an hour.

For this reason, Zhu Cijiong deliberately changed the time of the early court to Chen Shi, so that all civil and military officials could rush to the palace to face the morning sun. It was a bit abnormal at the beginning of the morning court. All the people who participated in the morning court had to get up when it was dark. It is really unnecessary to have to go to the night in the dark and work hard every day just to catch the morning.

Naturally, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would not object to this point. To be honest, getting up at Yinshi every day is indeed torture. The civil and military officials are not all right after going to the early court. They have to go to the Yamen to work every day. The clock is about to get up, and they don't get off work until five or six in the afternoon. If something happens at night and they don't go to bed early, the next day will definitely be very uncomfortable. Good thing, who would object.

This day has not yet arrived, and the early morning is over. Seeing that there is nothing to do, Zhu Cijiong is going to set up the Kunning Palace to accompany his son and tease the foodies. He is sitting on a dragon chariot surrounded by a group of eunuchs. Ning Gong was rushing, a deacon eunuch suddenly ran over from a distance, kneeling respectfully by the side of the road, as if he had something to report.

Cao Huachun hurried forward and asked a few words, then he came back and cupped his hands to Zhu Cijiong, saying, "My Majesty, Song Yingxing, the dean of Daming Institute of Technology, asks to see you."

Zhu Cijiong was taken aback when he heard the words. This guy hadn't seen anyone for a long time. He probably became addicted to studying oil refining. Now he came here to ask for an interview. Could it be that he had made an important breakthrough in oil refining?

This oil refining is a big event, he immediately asked: "Where is it?"

Cao Huachun hastily clasped his hands and said, "It's outside the Imperial Study Room of Qianqing Palace."

Zhu Cijiong heard the words, nodded and said: "Go to Qianqing Palace."

When Cao Huachun heard the words, he immediately said in a sharp voice: "Putting up the Qianqing Palace."

The whole team immediately turned around and headed for Qianqing Palace.

Not long after, Zhu Cijiong came to Qianqing Palace, and Song Yingxing was waiting there with excitement at the moment. After the monarch and ministers saw the ceremony, Song Yingxing said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I have built a big experiment field. Now It's up and running, would you like to check it out?"

proving ground?Zhu Cijiong asked curiously: "Is it about oil refining?"

Song Yingxing nodded excitedly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhu Cijiong heard the words, and asked with great interest: "So, you have extracted something, what are there?"

Song Yingxing replied as if offering a treasure: "Your Majesty, there are several kinds of things, but I have never seen them before, so I dare not name them casually, so I want to invite the Emperor to have a look and give them a name."

One can tell from this look that this guy must have made a major breakthrough, so he couldn't help running over to offer the treasure.

Anyway, it's all right, Zhu Cijiong also wanted to see how this product is progressing, he nodded happily and said: "Okay, wait a minute, I will change into casual clothes and go over."

Song Yingxing heard the words, but suggested with a bit of worry: "Your Majesty, why don't you call in the imperial guards?"

The battle to recruit the Imperial Guards was going to be a big one. What kind of Imperial Guards were recruited in the capital? Zhu Cijiong asked a little puzzled: "Oh, why did you recruit the Imperial Guards?"

Song Yingxing said embarrassingly: "Well, Your Majesty, oil is unclean and smells strong, and it's also dangerous. It's not suitable to do it inside the city, so I built the experiment field outside the city."

Zhu Cijiong heard the words, nodded and said: "Well, it's good to think like this. The experiment is to be done, but try not to affect the common people. Where is the experimental field? Is it far from the capital?"

Song Yingxing quickly replied: "It's not far, it's on a hill two miles northwest of the capital."

The capital is now a big cross, and the place Song Yingxing said is actually in the nest of the cross, even closer than going to Xicheng District.

There are city walls on the southeast and southeast sides of that place, what danger is there, Zhu Cijiong heard this, shook his head and said: "There is no need to recruit the imperial guards, it will be troublesome to mobilize the army."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Cao Huachun and said, "Let Wang Zhengnan take one hundred Jinyiwei masters with him, and you also bring one hundred Dongchang masters."

After Cao Huachun heard this, he turned his head and confessed a few words, then helped Zhu Cijiong to change into casual clothes, and the group set off quickly.

Both Jin Yiwei and Dongchang masters were riding horses, and Zhu Cijiong also took Song Yingxing in an ordinary carriage, and the group soon arrived in the northwest of the capital.

As soon as he stepped out of the city gate, a gust of air with the fragrance of flowers and plants rushed towards him. Zhu Cijiong took a few deep breaths, and couldn't help admiring: "The air outside the city is better."

Hearing this, Song Yingxing's face changed slightly, as if he was a little worried.

Zhu Cijiong didn't pay much attention to it. He was looking at the scenery outside through the window of the carriage. Before long, a hill appeared in the distance. There was indeed a row of buildings built on the hill, but it felt a bit strange. Because that row of buildings is not like ordinary houses at all, but rather like a section of city wall, it straddles the south side of the hill diagonally.

Zhu Cijiong pointed to the row of buildings and asked with a smile, "That's right there."

Song Yingxing responded with a little panic: "Yes, yes, that's right there."

Hearing this voice, Zhu Cijiong felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but look back.

Song Yingxing shrank his neck in fright, seemingly panicked.

Zhu Cijiong couldn't help asking curiously: "Chang Geng, what's wrong with you?"

Song Yingxing panicked even more, he said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, this, the smell here..."

Before he could finish his words, a strange smell mixed with asphalt, diesel, kerosene, and gasoline rushed over his face, making people feel nauseous.

Song Yingxing's face turned pale with fright, he couldn't help covering his nose with his sleeve, and looked at Zhu Cijiong in fear.

Song Yingxing was taken aback by Zhu Cijiong's reaction, not that he was angry, instead of angry, he was smiling and excited!

What's the matter, Your Majesty?
Of course Song Yingxing couldn't understand Zhu Cijiong's mood at this time, because he didn't know that Zhu Cijiong came from time travel.

For those who have stayed in large factories in later generations, this smell is so familiar. Diesel, kerosene, and gasoline are all good things. How can Zhu Cijiong not be excited? He doesn't need to go in to see that Song Yingxing has definitely succeeded!

He has achieved great success, almost all the main extracts of oil have been extracted by him!

Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but patted Song Yingxing's shoulder and said, "That's great, Chang Geng, you really are a genius."

Song Yingxing was dumbfounded when he heard the words, is this okay?Has the emperor been stunned by smoke?
