Chapter 950
's output is astonishing.
He didn't know why Yang Xia had suddenly changed so drastically, so completely different from before.
"Your Majesty, this has completely offended the King of Ivory Kingdom. Isn't there something wrong with doing this?"
"The Kingdom of Ivory is using resources like oil to control our Great Zhou Kingdom. How should we resolve these issues going forward?"
Meng Yu did not hide his worries, fearing that it might bring serious consequences to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
"It's alright, I'll make the decisions on these matters."
Yang Xia waved his hand dismissively, seemingly unconcerned. It appeared he had anticipated this consequence.
Now Meng Yu was completely baffled. Knowing full well that they couldn't do without Ivory Coast's oil, Yang Xia had deliberately offended them. He had no idea what Yang Xia was up to, or how to deal with the situation.
"You may all leave now, I need to rest."
Yang Xia dismissed his men. He didn't want to rest; rather, he was thinking about the oil fields of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
It turns out that the Great Zhou Kingdom in the world has been fully developed by Yang Xia, and the Great Zhou Kingdom is capable of mining oil on its own.
If I remember correctly, oil can be found right at the easternmost edge of this palace, and the yield is quite astonishing.
It was precisely because of this confidence that Yang Xia was able to completely offend Ruva. They had absolutely no need for oil supplies from Ivory Coast.
The changes in the Great Zhou Kingdom began from this moment, and it was no longer afraid of offending the Ivory Kingdom.
On the contrary, they can use the Ivory Kingdom to establish their prestige and let all the surrounding countries know that the Great Zhou Kingdom has completely changed its previous appearance.
Seeing that no one was around, he went to the far east side of the palace, picked up a shovel, and began to dig.
Sure enough, after digging a few shovelfuls, oil surfaced. Yang Xia's memory was truly remarkable; he located the oil spot with unerring accuracy.
He immediately summoned Meng Yu and ordered people to protect this place and establish the Great Zhou Kingdom's own oil refinery.
"Look, our Great Zhou Kingdom can extract oil on its own. We will no longer need to obey the Ivory Country or be slaughtered by others."
"Quickly have someone protect this place. Our Great Zhou Kingdom has a continuous supply of oil."
Yang Xia's tone was also somewhat excited. He had finally fired his first shot, and the changes that followed were naturally earth-shattering.
Meng Yu was stunned for a long time. In all his years, this was the first time he had ever heard of oil in the palaces of the Great Zhou Kingdom; he was absolutely dumbfounded.
No wonder Yang Xia offended Luwa so arrogantly; it turns out he had such a trick up his sleeve. At this moment, he admired Yang Xia to the point of prostration, thinking he was simply a god.
"Your Majesty, how did you know there was oil in the palaces of the Great Zhou Kingdom?"
Although Meng Yu was not qualified to inquire about this matter, he couldn't help but ask because he couldn't solve the mystery, his eyes filled with shock.
Yang Xia couldn't tell the truth about this matter, of course. Even if he did, they wouldn't understand, as the development of his original world was completely different from that of the other world.
“A celestial being appeared to me in a dream and told me that there was oil on the far east side of the palace. And I actually managed to dig it up.”
Yang Xia laughed and told a white lie, which finally got him off the hook.
Meng Yu was skeptical of Yang Xia's explanation, but didn't say anything more. Perhaps Yang Xia was telling the truth; it was too incredible.
However, Meng Yu himself couldn't think of a more suitable reason; perhaps it was all just a coincidence.
In any case, the Great Zhou Kingdom now possesses its own oil refinery and will no longer be at the mercy of others. The era of being bullied is truly over. From this perspective, Meng Yu is particularly pleased.
"Your Majesty, now our Great Zhou Kingdom can truly stand up and will no longer be bullied by other countries."
Meng Yu was also incredibly excited; this ending was simply too perfect.
“These aspects are not enough. We need to not only have our own refineries, but also surpass other countries in other areas. Only then can we truly stand up.”
Yang Xia's gaze was so resolute that Meng Yu couldn't help but nod. He firmly believed in Yang Xia's words.
The oil problem had been plaguing the Great Zhou Kingdom, but Yang Xia had suddenly solved it. This left Meng Yu with no reason not to believe Yang Xia's words.
These aspects are so perfect, which means that the Great Zhou Kingdom is developing in a better direction.
Everything was just beginning, and Yang Xia didn't show too much excitement; he wanted to win steadily.
They began to develop the Great Zhou Kingdom in the alternate world in every aspect, making it even more advanced than the Great Zhou Kingdom in the original world.
To become a world power and avoid being bullied by other countries, we must ensure that our strength in all aspects surpasses that of other countries.
Yang Xia believed the process wouldn't be long. He was full of energy and thought that coming to this other world was the right choice, and he was confident he could complete his mission successfully.
King Ruwa of Ivory was furious with Yang Xia. Upon returning to Ivory, he immediately issued an order forbidding any Ivory merchants from selling oil to the Great Zhou Kingdom, with the penalty of execution for any disobedience.
"Why did the king suddenly issue such a strange order, forbidding anyone from selling oil to the Great Zhou Kingdom?"
"Yes, that's really strange, but we wouldn't dare risk our lives. We would never do that under any circumstances."
……
The people of Ivory Country were also discussing it, finding the matter particularly strange, but since it was an order issued by their king, they had to strictly abide by it.
"I want to see how long that Yang Xia can be arrogant without oil, a necessity. He might be crawling to me for help someday."
"We must thoroughly humiliate Yang Xia and punish him severely, making them pay back a thousandfold."
Luwa was completely enraged, waiting with a fierce look to see the Great Zhou Kingdom make a fool of itself.
The relationship between the Ivory Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom was thus completely severed, awaiting the moment of retaliation.
News of the falling out between the Ivory Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom quickly reached the Moonlight Kingdom, and its ruler, Tanawu, found it very strange.
"What's wrong with the Great Zhou Kingdom this time? Aren't they always been submissive? How come they suddenly dare to challenge the Ivory Kingdom? This is going to be interesting."
Tanawu revealed a malicious smile; he naturally enjoyed watching the two tigers fight from afar.
As the most powerful nation in this other world, the Moonlight Kingdom has long harbored ambitions to annex other countries. The Ivory Kingdom is also quite powerful, and if it could be defeated in this struggle, Tana would naturally be extremely pleased.
However, the ruler of Moonlight Kingdom believed that Great Zhou Kingdom could not cause any trouble, as their national strength was too weak, so weak that Moonlight Kingdom could not even be bothered with them.
Even if one day they wanted to annex the surrounding countries, they would still look down on the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Such a small island nation is not even enough to fill its own teeth. If it does not act, it will remain so. But once war breaks out, Moonlight Kingdom's target will naturally be these more powerful countries.
In this alternate world, the national conditions are similar to those in the original world, with both worlds exhibiting a dog-eat-dog mentality.
Strong nations bully weak nations; the more powerful a nation is, the more ambitious it becomes, eyeing its neighboring countries with predatory intent.
Putting aside the fact that these countries were watching the spectacle with amusement, the Great Zhou Kingdom was producing more and more oil, and the output was astonishing.
These developments shocked the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom, who never expected that such a promising situation would suddenly emerge from their historically weak state.
However, Yang Xia was not surprised at all; everything was within his expectations.
Yang Xia was able to undergo a complete transformation in the other world precisely because he was thoroughly familiar with all aspects of the original world.
Oil is just one aspect of the transformation; there are many more areas that need to be transformed.
However, the news quickly spread to other countries, and they were all shocked, especially Ruva of Ivory Coast, who could hardly believe his ears.
"What? How is this possible? How could the Great Zhou Kingdom produce its own oil?"
"You all need to investigate this thoroughly and make sure you don't believe those rumors."
Luwa was furious. This news sounded particularly grating to his ears. If all of this was true, the Great Zhou Kingdom would really not need the oil from the Ivory Country anymore, and of course it would not be able to be manipulated by them.
No wonder Yang Xia was so arrogant, daring to challenge me; it seems I've found the real reason.
However, even now, Ruva still refuses to believe that these things are real. It all happened so suddenly that it's hard to believe.
"Your Majesty, we have investigated thoroughly. The Great Zhou Kingdom does indeed produce oil, and the amount is difficult to estimate. According to conservative calculations, their production should not be lower than that of the Ivory Kingdom."
His subordinates truthfully reported the results of their investigation. This matter was extremely important, and no one dared to lie about military intelligence.
"Damn Yang Xia, no wonder he's so arrogant. Can anyone tell me what's going on? How did the Great Zhou Kingdom suddenly acquire so much oil?"
Ruva angrily threw everything on the table in front of him to the ground, venting his anger.
"The oil quality of the Great Zhou Kingdom must be the worst, right?"
After venting for a while, Luwa suddenly wanted to defeat the Great Zhou Kingdom in terms of quality, so as to save face for the Ivory Kingdom and maintain their status.
Oil is the most important resource of the Ivory Country. If the Great Zhou Kingdom surpasses it, the consequences will be dire.
"Your Majesty, according to our investigation, the oil of the Great Zhou Kingdom is of first-class quality, even higher than ours."
The report from his subordinates poured cold water on Ruva's hopes.
Luwa was furious. He never expected that the Great Zhou Kingdom would be able to extract a large amount of oil, and of such high quality.
It's obvious they're trying to steal business from the Ivory Country, and this will allow the Great Zhou Kingdom to develop rapidly.
Economy determines strength. If the Great Zhou Kingdom is allowed to develop like this, it won't be long before it tramples the Ivory Kingdom under its feet.
He absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen, pacing anxiously back and forth, perhaps he should think of some way to stop it from happening.
Although the Great Zhou Kingdom has now discovered such high-quality oil, Luwa believes that the Ivory Kingdom is particularly powerful and still has ways to suppress Yang Xia.
I should make a good plan to keep the Great Zhou Kingdom under the control of the Ivory Kingdom forever, and not let them have a chance to turn the tables.
Ruva was always very cunning and treacherous, and he had plenty of tricks up his sleeve. He believed he had the ability to do so, so he kept thinking of insidious ways.
On the other hand, the oil in the Great Zhou Kingdom was being continuously extracted, and its quality was indeed very good.
"Your Majesty, the oil from our Great Zhou Kingdom is of the highest quality, even better than that from the Ivory Kingdom. This is going to drive the ruler of the Ivory Kingdom crazy."
"With such abundant oil resources, our Great Zhou Kingdom will naturally become stronger very quickly, and we will soon become a world power."
Meng Yu was extremely excited. He had witnessed this moment firsthand and knew that the fate of the Great Zhou Kingdom was about to change.
Their ruler was truly amazing; he suddenly discovered vast oil resources, bringing new vitality to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
He no longer doubts Yang Xia's statements; the most important thing is to see the outcome.
With such abundant oil resources, the Great Zhou Kingdom's national strength will be greatly enhanced, and it will naturally not need to seek help from anyone.
"We must stay calm and not be too careless. Oil resources are a very important resource for our Great Zhou Kingdom. It is subject to a monopoly system, and domestic merchants are not allowed to resell it."
Yang Xia immediately issued another order to implement an oil monopoly in order to prevent the emergence of people like Jia Feier from the original world.
If these resources fall into the wrong hands, some people with ulterior motives will seize control of them and the entire market, which will lead to chaos within the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Yang Xia had accumulated a great deal of experience in his original world, which is why he was able to remain calm and organized even when he was busy in another world.
He does a lot of work every day, making reforms in all aspects of the Great Zhou Kingdom. He appears to be very busy, but he is very orderly and everything is in good order.
Without hesitation, a monopoly system for oil was implemented, preventing any opportunistic behavior and ensuring that these resources were firmly in the hands of one person.
Not only in the oil sector, but also in these internal affairs, Yang Xia firmly held onto his power.
The weaknesses that Yan Kingdom had previously displayed serve as a valuable lesson, and Yang Xia would certainly not allow the Great Zhou Kingdom to suffer the same fate.
Of course, he also needed to start cultivating some trustworthy generals to become his right-hand men, so that the burden on his shoulders would be lighter.
Take the Meng brothers, for example. They are very trustworthy and excellent in every aspect. I believe that after my training, they will definitely be able to shoulder important responsibilities.
They will then help manage the Great Zhou Kingdom, just like the Great Zhou Kingdom in the original world. Meng Yin and Meng Yu will become excellent generals, and everything will develop in a positive direction. (End of Chapter)
