In the second year of Daye, the Lantern Festival had just passed, and Liu Yiming was doing nothing in the office.

This is perhaps the biggest benefit of a constitutional monarchy. Throw away the busy political affairs and the monarch only needs to show off.

Of course, as the founding monarch, Liu Yiming has greater rights, and diplomatic, military and other rights are basically directly under Liu Yiming's jurisdiction.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Sun Zaizhi, the civil representative of Brunei, has come to see Your Majesty." Secretary Wang's expression became more and more aristocratic.

"Invite him in." Liu Yiming yawned and adjusted his clothes.

"Hello, Mr. Sun, please sit down." Liu Yiming looked at the person in front of him, and the more he looked at him, the more familiar he looked.

The visitor is wearing a complicated Hanfu, which is rarely seen in Nanhua, but it is understandable to wear it when meeting the emperor.

"Turn on the fan. Are you tired, Mr. Sun? You came from Brunei and were tired from the journey." Liu Yiming laughed.

Sun Zaizhi, born in 1866, was a native of Xiangshan. He immigrated to Hawaii in 1894 and entered Brunei First People's Hospital as a doctor of Western medicine at the end of the same year.

"Your Majesty, Sun Zai Zhi, joins you!" Sun Zai Zhi bowed in salute with his hands raised.

He didn't think about this at all before he came in. Nan Hua only knelt down and worshiped at important events, such as being awarded a title, worshiping ancestors, becoming a disciple, etc.

When you see the emperor, you just need to bow your hands and bow. Soldiers give a military salute.

If he hadn't attended a one-hour training class before coming in, he might have just plopped in and shouted "Long live the mountain."

"Pingshen, sit down, don't make any false pretense. Brunei is the first crude oil producing area in South China, but more importantly, it is the first land for expansion in South China. How is Brunei's development? Tell me the truth.

Liu Yiming said kindly.

“The etiquette cannot be discarded! The etiquette cannot be discarded!

I went to Brunei in 1895. At that time, there was nothing in Brunei. Minister Zhang Wentao and General Yang Taoyang single-handedly formulated Brunei’s development strategy. Coupled with the government’s resource allocation, Brunei is currently developing well.

In the first year of the great cause, Brunei's industrial output value exceeded 500 million yuan, the petrochemical industry chain has basically taken shape, and various processing plants and automobile factories are also booming. Everyone believes that the future will be better." Sun Zaizhi stood up and said.

"How are you all doing? What are your needs? What other questions are there?" Liu Yiming nodded.

Five hundred million doesn't sound like much, but it's actually quite a bit.

Nanhua stipulates that one dollar contains 15 grams of gold, so 500 million means 7.5 billion grams, 750,000 kilograms, or 750 tons.

Calculated based on the gold price of 300, it is equivalent to 225 billion r coins in future generations, and that is just industrial output value.

"Detection data produced by some experts indicate that the oil under Brunei may only be enough to be mined for ten years. Everyone is worried about what will happen if there is no oil in ten years..." Sun Zaizhi hesitated.

"This is a comprehensive issue. Brunei's current 70% industrial structure is directly and indirectly related to oil. If oil suddenly disappears or decreases, I can understand everyone's concerns." Liu Yiming touched his lips.

"I wonder how much you know about mechanical science and geology?" Liu Yiming suddenly asked.

"My hobby is cars. I have a car repair shop and I repair cars for people during my vacation. That's all." Sun Zaizhi is considered a car enthusiast.

"That's easy. Technology, our technology is constantly improving. If we can only drill a well of one or two kilometers, then the resources we can detect will only be limited to one or two kilometers.

But as the well is drilled deeper and deeper, more resources can be detected and reserves will increase. For example, if the drilling depth is doubled, the amount of resources that can be developed may also be doubled." Liu Yiming explained the relationship between technology and the increase in resources.

"You mean, there is still oil below Brunei?" Sun Zaizhi nodded and was thinking about it.

"The predictions of relevant government departments are that Brunei's oil development volume is far from reaching the upper limit. Even if the production volume is doubled, it can still be exploited for a hundred years." Liu Yiming nodded firmly.

He knows nothing about it, he hasn't even read the report.

But he knew that one hundred and ten years later, Brunei would still be producing millions of tons of oil every year.

"Representative Sun, I heard that you have established a society before?" Liu Yiming looked at Sun Zairen's resume.

"That was when I was in the Qing Empire. I saw the corrupt officials, the corrupted army, the lifeless citizens, the greedy, foreign-advocating Manchu Qing government. I inspired to overthrow its puppet regime, find like-minded Taoist friends, and establish a

party,

But now it seems that it is more like a university club, so I wrote it like this." Sun Zairen said with some embarrassment.

"Having ideas and daring to do it are all good things. Why didn't you go there later?" Liu Yiming asked curiously.

"I tried to deliver letters to Mr. Li, Chen Qing's interests, and wrote to the Manchu Qing court, but I got no response. After that, I gave up my thoughts and only helped those martyrs who were still on the road from time to time." Sun Zairen regretted.

said.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Sun, it's almost time. The Arab representatives are waiting." Seeing Liu Yiming and Sun Zairen chatting, Secretary Wang interrupted in time.

In the first month of the year, Liu Yiming will meet with representatives from various places, especially Arabia and Hawaii.

The former wastes half of Liu Yiming's time every year to award them with honors.

Of course, it's not that titles are worthless, but that Zheng Lei implemented a policy in Arabia, implementing a contracting system for areas where troops are not directly stationed.
