The lighter is also a unique invention in Yanyun County, and I have to thank Sister Lin for it.

Because Chen Jisheng is old, and he likes to drink tea when he reads official documents at night, he always has to get up once or twice at night.

But now there are no matches, only flint is used to make fire, which is actually quite difficult to operate.

Especially in the night when you can't see your fingers, when you wake up in a daze and your mind is not very clear, the flint and steel often hit your fingers, and you can't say anything about it for a long time, and your fingers still hurt.

One accidentally fell to the ground, couldn't see it, couldn't touch it......

For this reason, Sister Lin also complained to Xiao Chen, but what she complained about was not that flint was difficult to fire, but that Chen Jisheng was too thrifty, and he was reluctant to light lamps and boil oil and candles at night, which caused her to suffer too.

In fact, Chen Jisheng is not short of such a little lamp and candle money, he just hopes to lead by example and advocate frugality.

Xiao Chendang slapped his chest with a bang, Sister Lin, don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me!

Sister Lin said that the old man is stubborn, even if you personally persuade him to light a candle and oil lamp overnight, I am afraid that he will not agree, and if you don't do it, you will be scolded for being poor and extravagant!

I'm just whining with you, so don't hurt you.

Doesn't Xiao Chen know the old man's temper? It's too hard to convince him, but it's easy to build a lighter......

It's really easy, because you only need cotton thread, cotton, a lighter grinding wheel, flint, and the consumables are also very cheap, and every household has kerosene.

He simply drew a drawing and handed it to Liu Fuhai, who only took three days to build dozens of them, and their appearance and practicality are not much different from the current kerosene lighters.

This thing is convenient and safe, put it under the pillow when you sleep, and when you use it, you can feel a light when you touch it.

Even it can be used as a small oil lamp, which consumes less fuel and is windproof.

Not only did Sister Lin get the treasure, Chen Jisheng was amazed when he saw it, and he rarely praised Xiao Chen, you kid finally did a serious thing, this is a serious thing!

Xiao Chen, who was praised for it, immediately cocked his tail, what is this?

I'll invent a match for your old man, and we'll see!

Speaking of which, you may not believe it, it is far more difficult to make a match than to make a lighter, because Xiao Chenke doesn't know the ingredients of the ignition coated on the head of the match, thinking that it is enough to use phosphorus fire.

But in fact, it doesn't work, because the flammable is yellow phosphorus, but yellow phosphorus is poisonous, and it is okay to use it outdoors, but it is easy to be poisoned in the house.

If sulfur is added, it can theoretically reduce the poisonous gas, but how to refine this phosphorus sulfide, Xiao Chen will not.

But phosphorus sulfide is particularly flammable, and making this chemical is not only very dangerous, but also unsafe to use.

went to ask the madman Liu Fuhai, both of them were at a loss, and they didn't know what Xiao Chen said was messy?

After all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and they don't know much about this kind of thing.

Go to Wu Xiuping, of course Xiuping knows what a match is, and probably knows this chemical principle, but he doesn't understand the refining process, I studied mechanics, not chemistry!

So far, Yanyun County has a great lighter, but matches have not been fully invented.

The use of lighters is so wide that as soon as it was mass-produced, it was immediately widely ...... Praise from wealthy people.

Don't you like it when you say that the common people don't like it?

Nonsense, of course I liked it!

But can the special ones afford it?

We don't know how much a lighter costs, but the retail price in the market is as high as five taels of silver.

This is still an ordinary version, if it is a shell made of pure copper, pure silver, and pure gold, it can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver!

Xu Wenzhou knows how to do business, and has also launched a limited edition and a customized version...... It is a high-end consumer product.

This time, Xiao Chen learned a lesson and did not attribute the newly built lighter factory to his name, but let Ling'er be the boss.

Of course, Ling'er is definitely unwilling to do it in vain, and as for how to divide the spoils behind the brothers, it is not enough for outsiders.

Ling'er is also the only person in Yanyun County who can compete with the old man, although she also respects the old man, but once it comes to financial interests, the little girl will turn her face anytime and anywhere.

She is cheating, even the old man has no rule of law!

The significance of the invention of things such as lighters, telescopes, repeating muskets, and pocket watches is far beyond their own value, because they represent the level of industrial development of Yanyun County!

Alesek and others looked at the essence through the phenomenon, and they had to re-examine this small Yanyun County from a different perspective.

Liu Congshu visited the ministers of Ross as the county guard of Yanyun, there are three giants in Yanyun's political circles, but there are actually only two, because Xiao Chen basically doesn't care about things.

The old man is in charge of the overall situation, and he used to ask about every detail, but now he finds that Liu Congshu's ability can completely provoke the beam, so he basically doesn't manage specific affairs much, and the major and minor affairs of Yanyun County are actually under Liu Congshu's jurisdiction.

Therefore, he is not only the nominal but also the actual leader of Yanyun, and when he talks to these princes and ministers, he is also very confident, and he can make a decision at any time.

He not only talked to these ministers about the significance of economic cooperation between the two sides, but also talked about bilateral relations, including multilateral relations with the Great Zhou, Dongying, Gaojuli, Western Regions, and Northern Xinjiang.

The ministers of Ross were surprised to find one thing, this Yanyun County Warden was not only clear-headed and forward-thinking, but also extremely arrogant!

Because when he talked about these complicated diplomatic relations and the domestic situation of the other party, he not only spoke in an orderly manner, but also always extended with Yanyun County as the center.

It seems that their Yanyun County is the center of the East, the link of various countries, and they are unabashedly outspoken, in this situation, our boss Xiao Chen's every move is related to the rise and fall of all of you!

Dissatisfied.

Maybe it's because he speaks too much Rus' language, and these Rus' ministers really can't argue with him......

Although he is very unconvinced, he has to admit that many of his views on the current situation in the East do have a certain amount of truth.

Most of the princes and nobles in charge of economic and trade in Rus' visits, as well as some important local officials who came to meet the empress one after another, and the main content of the discussion was bilateral trade.

Specifically, it is divided into three points, the first point is to make money, the second point is to make money, and the third point is to make money!

He promised the princes, nobles and local dignitaries that no matter whether our cooperation can be negotiated or not, I will personally invite you to Yanyun County to take a look at it, and I will definitely receive you warmly.

Of course, we can do business with each other personally, in the name of friends.
