Chapter 109: The Prince Visits

"Okay, but baby Alice, when you mix the mask, try to find the maid ring in the house to try it, the husband is handsome, no need to maintain ......"

Liu Huayun still likes the Western woman in front of him who is very open and can deal with it for a long time when she is slapping with herself.

In the past few days, Liu Ruoxi, Dong Xiaowan, and Meng Yushi have something inconvenient for them, Liu Ruoping and Lei Tingting have some signs of pregnancy and can't have sex;

He had nowhere to vent the itching in his heart, and he was in the mood to apply a mask, so he said with a smile......

The electric lights in the house stopped working in the middle of the night because the coal burned out.

After all, there is no valve and tap water for the induction chip, and the generator that needs to be manually resupplied with water and coal is also a waste to make it work and wear out.

Although it was only a short period of more than two hours, the inner house, which was as bright as day, still attracted the attention of many people;

For the first time, the word electric light was remembered by Shen Lei, Guo Jing, Lu Feng, etc., and all the families and soldiers in the Horse Mansion.

Of course, it also includes the Ouchi secret agent who stood on the eaves of the house in the distance and looked out, driven by curiosity.

"Master Concubine, Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down."

In the early morning of the second day, Liu Huayun and Zhao Lingxin had just gotten up, and Qing'er hurriedly came over to report.

"Brother He Jin is very well-informed, but I just want to discuss with him about going to Jinan to mine crude oil and build a factory, which saves a lot of trouble."

With a faint smile, Liu Huayun and the others simply freshened up, and then walked to the front yard.

"Brother-in-law, ninth sister, I heard that your house was as bright as day last night, I don't know what kind of novelty it is, can you let my brother see it......"

He Jin really came for the electric light, and as soon as they met, he went straight to the point.

"Brother Prince, you should be talking about generators and electric lights, please come with me......"

Liu Huayun not only wants to go to Jinan, but also goes to Shanxi for graphite, which is not possible without the permission of the old man or the prince He Jin.

After all, although Shandong also has underground coal mines, it is not as good as Shanxi, which has more surface coal reserves and is already being mined by a large number of businessmen.

While thinking about it, he smiled faintly, and led He Jin, who was full of curiosity, to the power generation room.

"Seconds, it's on, this electric light is really amazing, good, not bad......"

Half an hour later, with the start of the coal-fired steam generator, He Jin, who watched the tungsten lamp gradually brighten, was like a child, with a happy smile on his face.

Immediately, he looked at Liu Huayun and asked expectantly: "Brother-in-law, when will these generators and electric lights be built in large quantities like muskets, and I will wait for you to put a few in the imperial city for lighting?" ”

"Brother Prince, it's like this, the accessories of coal-fired generators, the craftsmen under my command have experience, it shouldn't be too difficult to build, the key is the wire......

Yes, these are these two, don't touch them, it's a very dangerous ......, if the eldest brother wants to use the electric light, he has to wait for the younger brother to solve the problem of insulated wires. ”

"Insulated wire, this name is so unfamiliar, what is the insulated wire? How to solve ......"

He Jin thought that he was full of interest in electric lights, and after listening to Liu Huayun's words, he immediately asked curiously.

"The insulated wire is coated with a layer of plastic or rubber on the outside of the conductors such as aluminum wire or copper wire, as long as the foreskin is not broken, there is no danger to touch it when there is electricity;

It's just that now Dafeng doesn't have the material to make plastic, and rubber is not easy to find, so if I want to get plastic particles, I have to go to Shanxi, and then go to Jinan to open a workshop......"

Plastics are chemical products based on synthetic resins, and synthetic resins need extracts after salt water electrolysis and petroleum electrolysis.

Those professional terms, even Guo Zijian's teaching and learning, can't understand them, so Liu Huayun said that he only picked up the key points and said them once.

"Brother-in-law, are you planning to go to Shanxi?

That's fine, I'll go with you, those local officials have become more and more disagreeable in recent years, it's time to clean up......"

Although he still didn't understand, when he heard him mention Shanxi, He Jin couldn't help but say so with a light in his eyes.

In recent years, Dafeng's treasury has become more and more empty, not only related to successive natural and man-made disasters and foreign invasions, but also the corruption of local officials.

This is like Jiangnan, where merchants and wealthy families gather and are drunk with songs and money every night, and the taxes collected are not even surplus to strengthen the river embankment, except for the part that is handed over to the imperial court.

The Jin merchants who controlled the burning of coal were no less profitable than those merchants in the silk business in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but as He Jin said, the local officials prevaricated for various reasons, and the silver taels handed over became less and less.

For this reason, He Jin had long had the idea of taking advantage of the corrupt officials in Shanxi, but at that time, King Fu was a minister, had a very important voice in the court, and there was the threat of Bians, so he did not act rashly.

"This~~, okay, Brother Prince, you prepare, let's leave in five days......"

He Jin actually wanted to go to Shanxi in person, and Liu Huayun had no choice but to agree.

In fact, this time he wanted Ma Liang, Liu Quanyu and others to go to Jinan to wait for him first, and he took Lu Feng to pretend to be a business traveler to Shanxi in a low-key manner, just looking for some graphite to take to Shandong, there is no need to mobilize the public.

"Five days? It's been so long, so I guess it has something to do with the opening of my brother and sister's shop......"

Liu Huayun's every move could not escape the eyes of the secret agent of Ouchi, and He Jin had already guessed the answer when he heard him say that it would take four or five days.

"Brother Prince, I am smiling, my restaurant, ready-to-wear shop, and beauty salon will all open in a few days......"

There is nothing to hide, with his and Zhao Lingxin's identities, I am afraid that there are already officials who want to talk to each other and inquire about the time when their shops are open;

Tell He Jin that he must at least say something, this money Liu Huayun does not earn in vain.

"That's it, since the eldest brother has caught up, I'll give you a few inscriptions......"

He Jin knew that Liu Huayun was not short of money, since he took over, the 30,000 garrisons in Zhejiang have not been paid any more salaries, and the old man even deducted his money for some reason.

Brother Prince, you are really picky, but the inscription is also OK, frame the calligraphy and painting and hang it outside the store, it will be the signboard of the imperial gift in the future, which is much more practical than gold and silver.

At the same time as slandering in his heart, Liu Huayun invited He Jin into the study, and asked people to find suitable paper, "Brother Prince, younger brother has several restaurants and shops such as Drunken Immortal Building, Garment Shop, Beauty Salon, and Cake Shop......"

His careful thoughts, how could He Jin not see it, so he wrote down the words of Zuixian Building, Liu's Garment Shop, Liu's Beauty Salon, and Liu Huayun's most desired to get the world's first cake.

"If it's a pity, rain poems, find someone to frame it."

Sending He Jin away, looking at the big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, Liu Huayun couldn't hide his joy and instructed the girls......
