The voyage went smoothly, and four days after that, they arrived at Shin Kong City.

In the past four days, Mu Li was obviously silent, and after arriving in Xinguang City, Chen Wenhui went directly to the main hall of the Hei family, while Zhao Chongyi and Mu Li began to use their limited time to visit Xinguang City. They stayed in the City Lord's Mansion in Shin Kong City at night.

The city lord's mansion in Xinguang City, Chen Wenhui also lived back then. Therefore, Chen Wenhui's courtyard is still retained, but the owner of the City Lord's Mansion is no longer at home. The city lord and his wife, that is, Chen Wenhui's eldest brother and sister-in-law, have all gone to the capital. And, of course, the kids with me. Therefore, this beautiful city lord's mansion is Chen Wenhui and a few people, of course, there are a lot of servants here.

Chen Wenhui is not surprised at all, she is no stranger here. Xinguang City was built by her, and the City Lord's Mansion was also built by her. She has no curiosity about this place, and she doesn't hold back her hands, and this is her home.

Even the servants left behind in the mansion, she also knew most of them, so she was like a real master, commanded, and most of the officials of Xinguang City were familiar to her, and she did not hesitate to call the relevant personnel to do things for her.

In this way, someone arranged for her to salute, and an official was responsible for changing her ship. I also want to replenish her warships, so that those soldiers from the South Seas can go back to Qingchun City. She herself set off in simple clothes, using a small clipper.

These trivial matters have been arranged, Chen Wenhui has not forgotten, find a guide for Zhao Chongyi and Mu Li, and take them to Xinguang City.

As for Shui Hong, Shui Lian and they are very busy. Watch your luggage and get ready to go.

After arranging everything, Chen Wenhui took the book "Encyclopedia of Plants" to the main hall of the Hei family. I met the masters of the Black Family. Those hall masters were very happy that they hadn't seen her for a long time, chatted with her for a long time, and listened to her introduce her harvest from this trip to southern Xinjiang.

In the end, when Chen Wenhui took out the "Encyclopedia of Plants", the hall masters of the Hei family were not calm.

Especially Huo Jingcheng, the hall master of the Alchemy Hall, he took out his glasses tremblingly, with reverence. Open the book. I took a serious look.

Chen Wenhui didn't care about him, but said to Zhou Maocai of Heigetang on his own: "Hey, I thought that this time I could find the formula of the cement left by Emperor Fusu in southern Xinjiang?" If only we had it, it would have been easier to do the next. But no. But it's not without its gains. In addition to the many medicinal plants in this "Encyclopedia of Plants". It can be of great help to medicine. There are many ways to extract oil. What's more, there is the use of rubber. ”

At this moment, Zhou Maocai, the hall master of Heigetang, was not calm, he said: "This rubber is a good thing. How good our wheels are made of rubber for horse-drawn carriages. It's just that there is still too little rubber, but we have planted it on a large scale, and it has been used a lot in the last few years. However, the extraction of this rubber is too difficult. There is also a lot of waste in molding. Several of us gurus have speculated that there must be a better way. But I haven't found it yet. It would be great if there were ready-made ones that worked. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but grab the book to read. Huo Jingcheng glared at him, gave it to him, and then said to Chen Wenhui in a stammering manner: "Big girl, can this book stay in our black family?" ”

Chen Wenhui smiled slightly and said, "Okay, there is no problem." ”

Huo Jingcheng had already prepared to bargain, but at this moment, after hearing Chen Wenhui's readily agreed, he was a little unacceptable, paused for a moment, and then became ecstatic. Most of the plants in this book are already in use. However, many of the prescriptions on this list seem to be very ingenious, and I believe they will be of great use. In addition to these, there are also some methods of extraction of traditional Chinese medicine, which are of great help in making finished medicines.

When Huo Jingcheng was happy, Chen Wenhui said: "Of course, in order to repay me for this book that took thousands of miles to get out at the risk of life and death, shouldn't your Alchemy Hall send me some more people, and I will go to the northwest after the New Year?" ”

Huo Jingcheng originally wanted to refuse, or bargain, but after thinking about it, the place in the northwest is good, his disciples and grandchildren already know a lot about the plants in the south, but they don't know much about the plants in the northwest. It's also a good opportunity to see it.

Huo Jingcheng changed his mind for a moment, and his words also changed, and said: "Originally, so many of my manpower were taken to Nanyang by you, as well as those used by Yizhou Island, and your eldest brother used them in the Wa Kingdom. Later, you Da Chu also asked for some, where do I still have so many people? However, others want to have none. Your big girl must have it. Well, I'll give you fifty. If that's not enough, give me some time, and I'll give you some more. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and was about to speak, when Ding Chuan, a member of the Hei family on the side, said: "Wen Hui is already married, we can't call her the eldest girl anymore, and it's not appropriate to call her Mrs. Zhao." Just call the county lord, Wen Hui county lord. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "It's just the name, it doesn't matter. ”

Leng Lotian of the Calligraphy and Painting Hall said: "This is etiquette, and it should not be taken lightly. ”

So all the hall masters changed their tunes.

Chen Wenhui originally wanted to sarcastically say a few words to Huo Jingcheng, but she was embarrassed to speak.

Chen Wenhui and Huo Jingcheng have to fight every time they meet, and they have become accustomed to it, this time, Chen Wenhui did not fight with him, and Huo Jingcheng once again felt unaccustomed.

At this time, Zhou Maocai on the side laughed and said, "So that's the case, I understand, it's too ingenious." ”

Chen Wenhui knew that the people of the Black Family were a group of Frankensteins, and she didn't care, she said to Zhou Maocai: "Okay, Hall Master Zhou, you go back and study it carefully." I'll tell you important things. This rubber technology is very important. The stakes are high. I hope that after you have mastered this technique, you will try to make pipes, pistons and other things according to what the book says, didn't I tell you the principle of the steam engine before? I hope to give you a few years to not only master the rubber technology, but also to build the steam engine. ”

"If we can build a steam engine, then our ships can use steam as power, we can go farther, load more goods, and the maritime trade will be more prosperous."

Zhou Mao understood, and suddenly felt a heavy responsibility, and hurriedly said: "County Lord, don't worry, our Heigetang will definitely go all out." ”

Chen Wenhui nodded. She is still very relieved about the strength of these Frankensteins to study science.

Next, she chatted with the hall masters of the Hei family for a while, and learned that the Hei family is developing very well now. Not only several cities in Nanyang have developed well. Moreover, their personnel has also increased significantly. Because there are more and more people, there are more and more opportunities to discover all kinds of talents. The Black family is really thriving.

Chen Wenhui is also very satisfied, with the support of the black family, she can develop better in Nanyang.

When I came out of the Black House and returned to the City Lord's Mansion, it was already the beginning of the day.

When she arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, she hadn't rested yet, so Zhao Chongyi and Mu Li invited her not to eat at the City Lord's Mansion and go to the night market to eat snacks together.

Chen Wenhui was very happy that everything was done, and she was about to agree to go out. At this time, the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion brought the deputy city lord of Xinguang City over, and the deputy city lord came from the Chen family, and he was a cousin of Chen Wenhui in terms of seniority.

He and Chen Wenhui were also familiar with each other, and after meeting, they exchanged a few words of greeting, and then took out a few letters. One is a letter from Xiao Chen's family to Chen Wenhui.

One is a letter from the city lord Chen Wenjun to Chen Wenhui.

One is the Holy Decree.

Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly knelt down to receive the order. The will is simple. Chen Wenhui and they have been sailing at sea for more than ten days, and the emperor of the capital of Great Chu has received a secret report from Zhao Chongyi. Knowing these circumstances, he deliberately brought a new will, which said that Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi's trip to southern Xinjiang was very fruitful and hard, and the emperor was very happy.

They are also very loyal, and they must be in a hurry to go back to the capital to attend the funeral of the old emperor, but the new emperor feels that if the two of them continue to finish things, maybe the old emperor's spirit in the sky will be happier. Therefore, he instructed them not to rush to the road, but to go to Jiangnan first, and finish the unfinished business. Then go back to the capital. Moreover, after returning to the capital, the emperor will give a heavy reward.

Of course, these are not the original words. The original decree was written in a crepe manner, but Chen Wenhui couldn't understand it, which Zhao Chongyi quietly explained to Chen Wenhui.

It's just that the voice of this explanation is a little loud, so that the deputy city lord can't help but start twitching the corners of his mouth. This Wenhui county lord can also be called eloquent, but why is the literary level so poor? I don't understand a single decree. Listen to this Zhao Chongyi's explanation again, where is the heart of respecting the monarch. However, this deputy city lord came from the Chen family. For the emperor surnamed Liu, he was not cold, so he naturally regarded it as not hearing.

Knowing the content of the holy decree, Chen Wenhui was happy. Now it's okay, there is no need to go back to the funeral. Who likes to go back to their funeral? Are they familiar with the Emperor?

Chen Wenhui smiled.

Next, the deputy city lord was also very discerning, and saw that Chen Wenhui and several people wanted to go out, and when they asked, it turned out that they were going to go to the night market, so they volunteered to be guides and take them to play together.

Can this be postponed? Besides, in just a few words, Zhao Chongyi and Mu Li found that this deputy city lord of the Chen family was also a good person, and they all had the heart to make friends, so they naturally agreed. The three of them began to talk.

On this day, Chen Wenhui, Zhao Chongyi, Mu Li, and Deputy City Lord Chen had a very happy meal in the night market, and finally found a restaurant and got drunk. (To be continued......)
