The prince's face was sweaty and muddy, and he looked very tired.

Just drank water and gnawed several slices of cold melon in a row, the prince felt extremely refreshed.

But as soon as he looked at his hand, there were two blood blisters, Cao Zongshen took out a blow needle from his body, and Zhuzhu broke the bubbles for the prince.

The prince looked at the ground he had just turned over, and it was only a little bit.

If these hundreds of acres of land are turned over, it will take several months.

Looking at his hands again, the prince felt that the work was really too hard.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how do you feel?" Zong Shu asked.

"Today, we still know that the work is so hard and the farming is so difficult." Zhao Huan wiped his face again.

"Xing, the people are bitter. Death, the people suffer. Zong Shu said: "Only when you walk out of the deep palace and go to the ground can you deeply understand it." ”

Wu Fei's situation is not better than Zhao Huan at all, and he has already become a cat's face.

The dialogue between the prince and Zong Shu made Wu Fei feel the deep meaning of Zong Shu's arrangement of their labor today.

Teaching the prince the truth, not only in the classroom, but also in the field, is more profound.

The crown prince finally understood the difficulties of farmers, and after becoming emperor in the future, he paid more attention to agriculture and was more sympathetic to farmers.

Everyone understands Zong Shu's good intentions.

The prince also agreed with Zong Shu's teaching method, but after looking at the huge manor, he was worried, when will this land be turned?

"With the demonstration of His Royal Highness the Prince, this land will be turned over quickly," Zong Shu said with a smile: "Aren't there more than 200 officials, let them come over and turn the ground together." ”

More than 200 officials, come and turn over the ground?

Wu Fei immediately understood Zong Shu's other intentions: the prince turned over the ground, and the officials followed.

More than 200 officials have now become Zong Shu's students, and Zong Shu can let them come here to experience the process of farming and understand the difficulty of farming.

The officials must have rejected it from the bottom of their hearts, but with the crown prince taking the lead, they couldn't say anything.

Li Shaoyan thought to himself, Zong Shu let the officials go to the Great Song Academy of Sciences to listen to the class, and they could get the silver! He felt that Zong Shu would definitely not forget it like this.

Sure enough, he let the prince go down to work in the field for a while. Just set an example for the officials.

Let these more than 200 officials be free labor, this is the last move.

Speaking of which, they went to work in the fields in response to the prince's call and followed the prince's footsteps!

It is also tantamount to declaring to the outside world that they will be the most loyal supporters of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

……

The candles and kerosene lamps distributed by the Zong family for free caused a sensation in Bianliang City.

Every action of Zong Shu is like this.

This sensation is not only because of the defeat of Liang Shicheng's match factory.

What's more, this candle and kerosene lamp are very resistant to burning and produce relatively little smoke.

The rich and noble families also sent their subordinates to the scene to receive them, and as soon as it was dark, they lit candles and kerosene lamps.

The candles and kerosene lamps in the palace were also given by Zong Shu to Lin Lingsu for free.

From the palace to the streets and alleys, free candles sent by Zong Shu were lit.

The whole city is brighter and more beautiful than it used to be.

People are wondering if this candle will be produced in the future. Will there be kerosene lamps in the future?

The economic conditions were not good, and the candles and kerosene lamps were sold.

There are also some people who are reluctant to order and refuse to sell, so they use it as a collection.

By using it, people feel that the candle must not be cheap, and the kerosene lamp will be sold for a sky-high price.

Produced by Zongshu, it must be a high-quality product.

The objects he invented were either free or very expensive!

The meditation building of the Cai family in the capital is brightly lit.

Cai Jing, Cai Tiao, and Cai Xiu sat together, observing the burning candles and lit kerosene lamps on the table.

"The quality of this candle is obviously better than that sold in the store." Cai Jing said: "Zong Shu wants to buy the candle workshop, is he making a false shot and leading us to be fooled?" ”

The Cai family's acquisition of candle workshops and monopoly of candle raw materials are all specific operations by Cai Xiu and the housekeeper.

Cai Xiu said: "We think too highly of Zong Shu. The candles he made did not see any great wisdom. It's just that his candles contain few impurities and take a long time to refine. ”

Cai You didn't come to Cai Jing because of the conflict with Cai Jing.

Cai Jing's fourth son, Cai Tiao, came, and he was very close to Cai Xiu.

Cai Tiao analyzed that Zong Shu should have ordered a batch of high-quality candles from the Jiangnan area.

This kind of candle is good, but the cost is too high to pose a threat to the Cai family's candle business.

What's more, the Cai family monopolized all the raw materials.

The best raw material is black tree, whose fruit is like a chicken's head, and its sweat is like pig fat, which can be pressed to make candles.

However, the production of black tree is too small, so the price is expensive.

This is followed by ash worms. Ash worms grow on trees in the south, and a single bug can reproduce hundreds.

Boil ash worms in water to become wax.

The cost of raising ash worms is about the same as that of silkworm raising. Therefore, candles made from ash worms are also expensive.

The cheapest candle is beeswax, also called yellow wax.

Judging from the material, the wax given by Zong Shu for free should be white wax.

The reason why Zong Shu did this was mainly to bring down Liang Shicheng.

Zong Shu had the idea of buying a candle workshop, which should be a temporary idea to start a candle business.

As for this kerosene lamp, everyone felt that it was impossible to promote it.

As soon as the oil for kerosene lamps runs out, everyone will load vegetable oil or animal oil, how can they buy the oil produced by Zongshu again?

Look at the oil in this kerosene lamp, it is clear and bright, and it should not be cheap.

It is simply impossible to replace candles with kerosene lamps.

Zong Shu wanted to buy the candle workshop this time, just like they bought the porcelain workshop.

Zong's porcelain technology is nothing, and the warm pipes they produce can also be fired in other workshops.

Therefore, Zongshu acquired other porcelain factories to achieve a monopoly on the business of warm pavilion and cool pavilion.

Zong Shu wanted to monopolize the candle industry, but of course Cai Jing couldn't let him get his way, so he bought all the shops in advance and monopolized all the candle raw materials.

Cai Jing said: "The workshop and shop that I bought will be replaced with a new façade, and it will be called Cai's Candle Shop, and it will be officially opened on an auspicious day." ”

When the three members of the Cai family pondered Zong Shu and prepared for the opening, Li Shaoyan's Qinglou opened.

Li Shaoyan is an iron buddy, and when his Qinglou opens, Zong Shu naturally wants to cheer.

On the way, Li Shaoyan told Zong Shu that he had poached the turtle and the bustard from other green buildings.

In particular, a talent was poached, and this person once planned "Today's Top Card" and "Drink a Bowl of Wine and Play Kuishou for Free".

"Drink a bowl of wine and play for free"?

It was precisely because of this that Zong Shu went in to take a look, but as a result, he drank the sweat medicine and was caught by Ruyan.

He said the recipe for iodophor and penicillin, and let him go.

Where is Ruyan now? Is it still in that yard?

Li Shaoyan said that this person has mastered a lot of resources, and with this person, he has brought in a lot of kiln sisters with good qualifications.

"In your green building, is there a woman with particularly big eyes, called Ruyan?" Zong Shu asked worriedly.

"No, never." Li Shaoyan is very familiar with the names of these women.

Zong Shu felt that Ruyan must have a connection with these green buildings, but it was definitely not sitting on the stage. After listening to Li Shaoyan's negation, my heart actually settled down a lot.

Ruyan, forcing herself to ask for a formula, and still caring about her so much?

Shaking his head, he shook off the messy thoughts and came to the Qinglou opened by Li Shaoyan.

The plaque directly above is written in three large characters: Spring Water Flow.

Haha, isn't this a very familiar song? It was sung by the singer surnamed Huang, what is called Huang, yes, Huang Gexuan!

"Spring water flows, spring water flows, don't take spring away quietly. Spring water flows, flows eastward, don't take your thoughts away quietly. ”

Zong Shu hummed the song.

"Ah, Sheyu, what kind of song is this, it really has a tune, the spring water flows, it flows to the hole, it's interesting!" Li Shaoyan asked in surprise.
