The atmosphere was a bit dull, and a night wind blew, making people feel a bone-chilling chill.

Niu Ben looked at the lights outside the palace gate and said, "You should go back early. Niu believes that the emperor's wise eyes are like a torch, and he can see clearly the Xiaoxiao world."

Everyone came to their senses, stopped mentioning the current topic, and each said goodbye to leave.

Niu Ben and Luo Quan walked at the end, waiting for everyone to leave, Luo Quan said: "These civil officials just like to fight around. No wonder the emperor attaches so much importance to this naval battle today, in order to make these people calm and focus more on building the Great Chongqing Kingdom."

"This is also impossible. Pang Yukun, Zhan Xingchang and others were the ones who followed the emperor to conquer the world. They thought it was natural to have most of the power. Fiji and others were latecomers and did not accompany the emperor through the most difficult period after all, so they thought that these old ministers should not have gotten so much, and those old ministers were afraid of Pang Yukun and others. Therefore, since the emperor ascended the throne, although the emperor was suppressed and they worked closely together, they could never integrate." Niu Ben was outside and naturally saw it thoroughly.

Luo Quan nodded slightly, "Well, that's the reason, but these civil officials like to fight around when they are wise and foolish monarchs are in power. It doesn't matter, so we should just not pay attention to it."

"That's right." Niu Ben walked towards his mansion with a big smile.

In fact, no matter how quarrels are, each of them has a scale in their hearts. Now the Great Chongqing Kingdom is booming and moving upward. With Xiao Ming here, no one can make any waves.

As for the quarrels caused by different political views in the court, it is normal, and some power struggles are normal. After all, officials' hearts are full of flesh and all their own feelings and desires.

While everyone left, Xiao Ming returned to the bedroom. Fei Yue'er had already fallen asleep. Xiao Yi had already lived with them since he was seven years old, so he was taken care of by the nanny in the palace.

Without disturbing Fei Yue'er, Xiao Ming came to the main hall outside the bedroom and sat down, asking the palace maid to light a candle.

He picked up a pen and skillfully recorded the knowledge in the scientific crystal. Dick's description of Britain did surprise him a little.

When he talked with everyone today, he deliberately ignored an element, that is, Dick once said that the British secretly joined the UK's scientific and technological research and development.

Moreover, this association also brought some elite talents, all members of the association, from all over Europe.

It is precisely because of the help of this association that the UK has proved various technologies so quickly.

He had heard of this secret association twice, once from Dengzhou and once from when he attacked the south.

Combining the various mysterious legends about this association in modern times, he had reason to worry about the secret association in this world. After all, the Cao family joined it, so it was difficult for him to determine whether there were secret members of this association in the Great Yu Kingdom.

If so, it would be a problem for him, so after the Southern War, he kept asking the Secret Guard to investigate, but the results were minimal.

This result is good news for him and bad news. The good thing is that the secret association may have made no progress in penetration in the Great Chongqing Kingdom. The bad thing is that the penetration may be too powerful and the Secret Guards have nowhere to start.

It has always been unsettling about things that cannot be controlled, so he now urgently hopes that the Great Chongqing Kingdom will go further in technology and open a bigger gap with Europe.

Especially after the emergence of electricity, many modern affairs that accompanied the emergence of electricity should also appear. In this way, the Great Yu Kingdom has entered the power era.

Correspondingly, there is an internal combustion engine. The emergence of electricity has made it possible to produce diesel and gasoline on a large scale. With diesel, gasoline internal combustion gas has a source of power.

Because of this, electricity and internal combustion gas complement each other, which is why he knew that the internal combustion gas structure was not very complicated and did not develop it in advance.

After all, it can only be used as a decoration when produced.

But now it’s different. With electricity, the following is to overcome the problem of refining diesel and gasoline, and this requires Lutong to solve a series of problems.

In addition, he has to solve the problem of the source of oil, and this is the problem he has a headache about.

From modern times, he knew very well that the oil resources of the Great Yu Country were scarce, and the exploitation of the only few fried dough sticks was very difficult. At the current level of the Great Yu Country, it could not be mined.

And he is not willing to mine because the policy he is now implementing is to plunder resources from overseas and retain domestic mineral resources.

Based on this, the court now encouraged merchants to go to Goryeo, Japan and other places to mine mines. After conquering the Philippines, he also had to mobilize merchants to go to the Philippines and even Australia to mine, transport foreign minerals to the Dayu Kingdom.

As for the endless mines, his request is to reclaim land.

Therefore, he would not exploit something as scarce as oil in China, and his target naturally turned to the Ottoman Empire.

This empire is now holding the most precious wealth in the world without knowing it. Taking advantage of this opportunity to trade industrial products or even arms for oil would be a good business.

The Ottoman Empire was not only unfavorable to Europe, but also unfavorable to Tsarist Russia and the Golden Horde. He was happy to use this behemoth to cause some trouble to Europe.

Of course, his most important purpose is oil. On this land, the geological structure of the oil field is simple, and self-blasting wells in the oil field are the norm.

Simply put, it is to punch a drill bit to the oil layer, and the oil will be sprayed out from the wellhead itself, making it very easy to obtain.

What he is writing about now is about oil extraction and internal gas knowledge. These two technologies will bring earth-shaking changes to the transportation industry in the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

However, before this, he still had a lot to do, occupying the Southeast Asian Sea and seizing the strongholds established by the French and British on the route. This process could not be achieved overnight and might take a long time.

During this period, the establishment of petrochemical industrial system and internal gas technology can also be carried out at the same time, so there is no need to be impatient.

Thinking through this, Xiao Ming turned his attention to Nanyang. Now I don’t know what achievements Yue Yun has achieved?

...

Malacca.

The Marine Corps was led by Liu Chen to take advantage of the night to climb the beach, and they did not face any resistance along the way.

The actions of the Joint Fleet made the British soldiers in Malacca completely ignore the possible dangers. They did not expect that the huge fleet would arrive in Malacca at night.

"Quick! Quick! Quick!"
