Day 2, Day 3, Day 4.

Cai Xiu found that the price of candles and kerosene for "Da Song Lighting" remained unchanged.

This price quickly spread throughout Bianliang City, and many merchants have also come to buy candles and kerosene.

The shipment of "Da Song Lighting" increased greatly, and Lin Lingsu organized a convoy to pull from the Mixian base to the capital.

In order to prevent a strongman from robbing the road, Zong Shu asked Niu Gao to send fifty people to escort him at a time.

Fifty personnel were armed with knives or spears, and each was equipped with a porcelain blow pin as standard.

If you are a strongman with less than 500 people, don't think about doing it.

The posture of "Da Song Lighting" made Cai Jing a little desperate, where would people be out of stock?

Organizing such a huge convoy to transport candles and kerosene is more than the candles of his Cai family.

Obviously, Zong Shu has found new candle raw materials and new oil.

This raw material and oil, like phosphorus, is very easy to obtain and extract.

It's no wonder that people sell so cheaply because of their low costs.

Cai's candle industry, for a few days, not even a single candle was sold!

At that time, Cai Jing and Cai Xiu were still laughing at Liang Shicheng for being a fool and not even selling a match!

Look at it now, I am the same as Liang Shicheng, I am a fool!

No, Liang Shicheng has learned from the past, but he has not become the future teacher of the Cai family.

Liang Shicheng jumped over the pit, but Cai Jing jumped into it without hesitation.

Zong Shu used the same technique to trap Cai Jing in, and then let him lose a clean light.

The Cai family paid so much silver in advance and ordered almost all the beeswax, ash worms, and black trees in the country.

And the candles can't be sold, so what do you need raw materials for?

It is equivalent to saying that all the efforts of the Cai family in the early stage have been in vain, and all investments have come to naught.

Cai Jing felt that he was really confused? What did you do stupidly? It's even more stupid than Liang Shicheng!

Because of Zong Shu, the Cai family has already folded a lot of silver, and even lost face.

The story of the competition between Caijia Candle Industry and Da Song Lighting quickly became a hot topic of discussion throughout Da Song.

In fact, this is not about competition, Caijia Candle Industry has lost since its opening.

The Cai family made one of the thickest, tallest, and largest candles in history.

As soon as it was ignited, Cai Xiu was melted by a "little sun" thrown out by Zong Shu before he could get it!

For many days, Cai's candle industry has not opened.

Zong Shu opened the "Great Song Lighting" to the opposite side of the Cai family's candle industry, and the intention was obvious: it was to bring down the Cai family, just like bringing down Liang Shicheng.

This approach is quite arrogant, which is to tell the Cai family:

I'm going to slap you, put your face out!

Like Liang Shicheng, Cai Jiaming knew that Zong Shu was going to slap him, but he just couldn't avoid it!

Liang Shicheng and Cai Jingjing believed that as long as the raw materials were monopolized, Zong Shu would definitely lose.

None of them expected that Zong Shu had found a new raw material.

The most uncomfortable thing for them is that even if they know what the ingredients are, they can't deal with it.

Because the raw materials are in the hands of Zong Shu, to be precise, in the hands of the crown prince and His Royal Highness Zhuzhu, no one dares to take advantage of it.

Matches already know the source of raw materials, which is phosphate rock.

What are the raw materials of candles and kerosene, the Cai family's channels are so wide, but they didn't inquire about it.

The success or failure of the Liang division has failed, and the Cai family has wilted.

As a result, Zong Shu monopolized the match, candle and kerosene lamp business in the entire Great Song Dynasty.

The price of Zong Shu's matches, candles and lamp oil is much lower than that of fire sickles and other candle shops.

It is completely foreseeable that the matches, candles and kerosene lamps made by Zong Shu will be popular throughout the Great Song Dynasty, and will even be sold to Liao, Western Xia and Jin.

The price of Zong Shu is not high, but this thing is a consumable, and the quantity is large, which will bring a steady stream of wealth to the Zong family.

Liang Shicheng and the Cai family both failed to challenge, and in the field of lighting, Zong Shu's position is unshakable.

This kid is not only a little evil god, but also a little god of wealth!

The Cai family folded more than 100,000 taels of silver, which made Liang Shicheng, Tong Guan, Zhao Gou and others feel inexplicably better.

If it weren't for the Cai family's candle industry, Liang Shicheng and the others would not have been able to raise their heads at all.

With Cai Jing's failure, Liang Shicheng finally had a little excuse, not that he was incompetent, but that Zong Shu was too strong.

After Huizong and Empress Liu learned of the situation, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, the more money Zong Shu made, the better!

If you can make money with a horse, the princess's life will be better, this is a very simple truth.

Moreover, the Cai family has so much money, they all know how it came from, and it doesn't mean disappearing.

These things invented by Zong Shu were a fatal blow to all the current lamp and candle industries in the Great Song Dynasty.

And the Cai family is equivalent to bearing this blow for these vast number of lamp and candle practitioners.

The dispersion of the Cai family, in a certain sense, is to distribute wealth to these ordinary merchants.

If it weren't for the Cai family's bankruptcy, maybe these bankrupt merchants would have become displaced people, creating new destabilizing factors for the imperial court.

Zhao Huan was also quite excited when he knew the news.

He firmly believed that Zong Shu would definitely kill the Cai family's candle industry, but he didn't expect it to be so neat.

Beads, of course, too.

After stopping for a few more days, the Cai family watched the candles and kerosene of the "Great Song Lighting" continuously, and finally became convinced that Zong Shu had indeed found cheaper raw materials.

At this time, another piece of news shook the capital:

"Da Song Lighting" sold kerosene lamps!

The kerosene lamp is all made of glass, and the workmanship is quite exquisite, and this kerosene lamp only costs 500 yuan.

Glass is a luxury that only royalty and dignitaries can afford!

Zong Shu gave away kerosene lamps for free, which made everyone feel too embarrassed!

Unexpectedly, Zong Shu launched kerosene, so cheap!

Ordinary people can also afford it. In this way, each household can have several kerosene lamps.

A candle costs fifty wen, while kerosene is poured once for ten wen, and a kerosene lamp takes longer than a candle.

In this way, kerosene lamps are almost replacing candles.

Of course, there are many occasions to use candles, but the amount used may be greatly reduced.

No wonder, Zong Shu said at the time that the candles of "Da Song Lighting" would gradually withdraw from the market.

The introduction of kerosene lamps completely extinguished the last glimmer of hope for the resurgence of the Cai family.

The Cai family finally quietly took off the door number of the Cai family's candle industry.

The vigorous opening and the dejected ending made Cai Jing fall ill in bed, and it took half a month to recover.

Zong Shu launched such a cheap glass kerosene lamp, so that the people of Beijing realized that Zong Shu had found a new raw material for making glass.

Or, Zong Shu took the Great Song Academy of Sciences to come up with a new glass manufacturing process.

Most of the glass shops in the capital are Hu people from the Western Regions, and naturally they have also seen this kind of kerosene lamp with a very low price.

A fear quickly enveloped the shopkeepers of the glass shop, and they seemed to see the same ending as Liang Shicheng and the Cai family.

From matches, candles to kerosene lamps, everyone began to think that Zong Shu was fighting a price war.

Through a low-cost or even free strategy, Liang Shicheng and the Cai family were killed first, and then they were in a monopoly position, and then slowly raised the price.

Obviously, in addition to matches, Zong Shu has been making money since he launched his products.

If Zongshu can launch cheap kerosene lamps, then they will definitely launch new crafts.

As soon as Zongshu's glass crafts were born, all the glass shops in the capital had the following results: bankruptcy or career change.

After waiting anxiously for more than 20 days, Zong Shu's glass workshop has not launched anything new.

A glass boss went to "Da Song Lighting" to inquire about the situation and got an amazing answer:

Zong Shu's glass products, except for kerosene lamps, are not ready to be made of others.

Even if other glass products are made, they will only meet the needs of the Zong's Group and the Great Song Academy of Sciences, and will not be sold to the market on a large scale.

The owners of all the glass shops in the capital have made pennants for Zong Shu and even set up immortal positions, Zong Shu is really a good person.

But most people don't think so, if Zong Shu is a great good person, then there is no good person in the capital!

What's the good thing about this?

If the Cai family, Tong Guan, Zhao Gou or other people who had been scolded by Zong Shu had anything to do with these glass shops, Zong Shu would definitely not spare them.

Therefore, in the future, if you can cooperate with the Zongjia in business, you will cooperate, and if you can't cooperate, don't compete directly, otherwise, there will only be a dead end.

Just when the Zongjia industry was going well, the Great Song Dynasty was facing a great problem.

The court has been discussing for two days, but there is no result.
