After knowing that Xu Lingyun was pregnant, all the knots in her heart were completely opened at this moment. After the knot in his heart was opened, Zhu Yifeng started to do things, and his energy was extraordinary.

And the news of his wife's pregnancy soon spread all over the governor's mansion, and for a while, the governor's mansion was also excited because his own Han governor had descendants. Although it is said that the age of the Metropolitan Governor is only 20, the "no queen" of the Metropolitan Governor is the biggest fear of the entire Huguang system. Because in case the governor of the metropolis "fails to start a business and the middle way collapses", the entire Huguang system will lose its backbone. Whether it will be able to dominate the world in the future has become unknown in an instant.

Now that Handu has a son, Huguang's foundation can be passed on from generation to generation. Even if there is really anything wrong with Han Du, as long as the young governor is here, then the Huguang system will not fall apart. With the current state of development, as long as Huguang himself does not have civil strife, whether it is the Manchu court or the Taiping army, sooner or later it will be replaced by Huguang.

This is not, a kind of blind self-confidence, but a judgment of their own strength, the righteous army may not have enough troops, but it does not prevent the righteous army from having strong combat effectiveness, as long as there is this righteous army, Han Du will definitely be able to add a yellow robe.

As for them, they will also follow the Han Governor to restore China and rebuild the Ming Dynasty. Then he became the founding father of the Ming Dynasty and achieved his own wealth.

As for why Madame is not pregnant with a daughter? How is that possible! At this time, naturally no one will find unhappiness for themselves, let alone provoke everyone's bad luck.

It was in this jubilant that Xu Shushan came to Wuchang, as the elder brother of his wife, Xu Shushan received great courtesy along the way. Although he deliberately stayed in Daye for a few days after receiving the secret letter from his little sister, he still couldn't get rid of some mundane things, after all, he was the only relative and the only "family member" in Wuchang City.

"Little sister!"

The moment I saw my little sister, I couldn't calm down when I looked at my little sister Xu Shushan in front of me, the little girl was already a wife and a mother.

"Big Brother ......"

Although she wanted to control her emotions, Xu Lingyun couldn't help crying, this was her closest relative, and now she finally came back from abroad and returned to her side.

"You're back, do you know that I've missed your big brother so much all these years!"

The sound of the little sister's whimpering voice in Xu Shushan's ears only made him feel a little reluctant in his heart. hurriedly comforted, and after a while, Xu Lingyun stopped her tears.

"Big brother, since you are back, you will live at home for the past few days, I have already agreed with Yifeng, and you will live in ......"

Without waiting for the little sister to finish speaking, Xu Shushan shook her head.

"Little sister, this is not appropriate, after all, now you are not only my little sister, you are also the wife of Han Du, I don't know how many people in the world are looking at you here."

Although she has been studying in France for many years, it does not mean that Xu Shushan is ignorant of the reality in China. In fact, the same thing is the same in large households.

"Hmmm! Well! Big brother, I'm ......"

In an instant, tears flowed all over his face. Facing the eldest brother, Xu Linyun was indeed speechless.

has been married to Zhu Yifeng for many years, but nothing has come out. It used to be a heart disease for her. Although he had taken a concubine, he was by no means a person who saw things differently, and he still doted on her.

But in any case, she is not only the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, but also Mrs. Handu in the eyes of outsiders, and it is precisely because of this that after knowing what that woman did, she will do things that she has never thought of before.

But from the perspective of the outside world, she had to sit down with her jealousy, and this also caused the Zhu family to be delayed. But knowing the true husband there, he doted on her more, but the misunderstanding of the outside world and the entanglement in her heart made Xu Lingyun get more pity from her husband, the heavier the depression in her heart became.

Well, now it's all gone!

With this child, the Zhu family has a descendant, and there are successors to the career of the public, and outsiders can no longer say a word.

In the past, Xu Lingyun regarded herself as the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family more often. And now she must first remember that she is the wife of Handu.

Every decision she makes is watched by many people. That's why she agreed to Xianggong's request, and now the eldest brother's understanding makes her heart even more uncomfortable.

"Don't cry, don't cry, be careful of the fetal gas!"

Seeing that the little sister was so excited, Xu Shushan hurriedly wiped her face with thick fingers.

"But people want to cry......"

Xu Lingyun laughed while crying.

"Don't cry, little sister, show you something new,"

As he spoke, Xu Shushan took out a beautiful small box from his pocket, originally he was going to give it to his brother-in-law as a meeting gift, but now he will give it to his nephew who was never born.

When I opened the box, it was just a very ordinary silver chain, since it was for a pocket watch. It's ordinary, it's ordinary.

"Xianggong, this is specially brought to you by the eldest brother from France, and the eldest brother said that there are no more than three in the world!"

Almost as soon as she returned to the inner house, as soon as she saw Xianggong, Xu Lingyun showed off the gift that her eldest brother gave to her unborn child, as if she was offering a treasure, and of course, she also told Xianggong in this way that the eldest brother valued this family affection.

This...... From the box, he picked up this inconspicuous-looking chain, and the moment he started again, Zhu Yifeng understood, understood, why Xu Lingyun said this.

This is indeed a very precious gift. At least in this day and age.

"Brother, let's have a meal together in the evening."

Holding this inconspicuous chain, Zhu Yifeng said to Xu Lingyun, but now, what he wants to know more about this chain is this.

When he first met Xu Shushan, Zhu Yifeng's mind popped up with the image of a scholar, wearing a suit with gold-rimmed glasses and short hair, looking somewhat similar to a scholar in the Republic of China.

During the meal, Zhu Yifeng would ask him about France and Europe, and of course, inevitably, the third emperor, but more of the two still exchanged science, after all, Xu Shushan was a scholar. And Zhu Yifeng also has other purposes, and the topic of purposefulness leads to the chain.

“…… This is the work of a chemistry professor that I saw when I was hiring a professor at a teacher training college, so I bought it for a lot of money. ”

Xu Shusan said so, originally he was still thinking about what gift he should bring when he returned to China, but after seeing this thing again, he immediately decided to buy it.

The reason why it was bought was because it was rare, and it was expensive.

"It seems that this is indeed a rarity."

Zhu Yifeng said knowingly.

"That's true,"

Nodding, Xu Shushan then explained.

"Probably a few decades ago, the European chemist Hans? Christian? Oster and Weller have separated small amounts of less pure aluminum. And St. Clair? DeVille uses Weller's method to make compounds of aluminum react with potassium metal. Soon he replaced potassium with sodium, which was safer and more effective. He prepared a considerable amount of sodium, and then he made a considerable amount of aluminum. However, it is still very expensive. 30,000 francs per pound. ”

A pound costs 30,000 francs!

Neither Xu Lingyun nor Xu Shushan noticed that when Zhu Yifeng heard this price, he couldn't help but hold his breath, and now even those eyes burst out with a desire for wealth,

One could even say greed. So much so that he silently calculated the exchange rate of the franc in his heart.

"Ten francs is equal to 1.6 grams of gold, 30,000, or 4.8 kilograms...... That is, aluminum is worth ten times more than the same weight of gold! ”

Since the chemist Deville used sodium instead of potassium to reduce aluminum chloride to make aluminum ingots. For some time to come, aluminium was a treasure enjoyed by the imperial aristocracy. The French Emperor Napoleon III used aluminum forks at banquets; The King of Thailand has used aluminium bracelets just like he is now. And at next year's Paris fair, it will be exhibited with the jewels in the crown, with the label "Silver from Clay".

In fact, it is worth much more than silver, at least in this era it is even worth more than gold, and for a long time, aluminum has been a precious metal that can rival gold.

Of course, all this has become a thing of the past with the invention of electrolytic aluminum. Electrolytic aluminum has made this light metal one of the most widely used, and a hundred years later people used it to make airplanes, doors and windows and cars, but how many people know that it is now more expensive than gold.

"Electrolytic aluminum, yes, is electrolytic aluminum,"

Zhu Yifeng whispered in his heart that aluminum in this era is expensive because of his processing method, which is used to make aluminum, and the price of chemical raw materials is extremely expensive, which leads to its high cost.

Compared to the metal sodium, electricity is cheap, and it is the invention of electrolytic aluminum that has reduced this noble metal to a common metal like steel.

"Electrolysis, electrolysis, as long as you have this technology, you don't have to worry about money anymore......"

This is what really attracts Zhu Yifeng, because cheap production methods can make unimaginable profits compared to their expensive value.

But how to solve the problem with electricity?

Although there were ready-made steam engines in the factory, there were no generators, as they were of no use in this era.

It seems that in order to make a generator, whether it is direct current or alternating current, the problem of generators must be solved, otherwise it is just a pipe dream.

"Shushansan, do you know about electricity?"

"Electricity?"

First stunned, Xu Shushan asked rhetorically.

"Is Handu referring to the lightning bolt?"

"That's right, it's it!"

Zhu Yifeng nodded.

"Electricity, well, there is a certain understanding, that is, the telegraph uses electricity, and this time it is in the equipment purchased from the United States. I think he has a lot of work. ”

"Telegram?"

Now the telegraph has been invented? Zhu Yifeng looked at Xu Shushan in surprise, and when he heard him mention the telegraph equipment he had purchased, the whole person immediately said excitedly.

"Great, where is the device now? When can I install it? ”

Zhu Yifeng, who is now attracted by the telegram, has forgotten his original purpose. After all, the telegraph is undoubtedly more important in comparison. (To be continued.) )
