Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 55

Fusu sat down in the courtyard and looked at Tian Yun.

"You sent the white wax used by Tian Ji to the palace?"

Hearing this, Tian Yun was overjoyed and suppressed his urge to jump up and shout loudly.

Bai Wa is because he secretly sent a letter back to his hometown in Linzi, without telling the truth, and asked a former servant in the mountains to collect it.

Originally, I wanted to sell it in the market and exchange some money to subsidize the family.

Unexpectedly, the damned Shang Yang blocked all the outlets except farming and fighting in order to let the Qin people "make a hole". Merchants were assigned to special "city registration" for management.

Anyone who does business in Fangshi must be a merchant with 'city registration', that is to say, if Tian Yun wants to sell white wax in Fangshi, he must transfer himself to the city registration.

This is what Tian Yun is unwilling to say.

Because in the Qin law, whenever there is an army, the priority will be to recruit son-in-law, city nationality and other sluts to join the army, such as the war with the Yue people back then.

Then it can only be sold to merchants and let them sell it on their behalf.

But when Tian Yun heard the merchant's quotation, she immediately understood why Shangjun targeted the merchant...

According to that person's quotation, not only will it not make any money, but it will also cost a lot of freight!

So he found a second trader, who knew that his offer was lower than that of the first trader.

After walking around the market, Tian Yun understood that the merchants in the market were all in collusion, collecting low prices and selling at high prices.

As soon as Tian Yun got angry, she went home with Bai Wa in her arms.

Originally, he thought he could sell it to his neighbors in Liuguo at a cheaper price, but the people here are poorer than their families.

The poor do not need such lighting tools.

Because everyone works and sleeps at sunrise, and goes to bed as soon as it gets dark.

After all, if you fall asleep, you won't know you're hungry...

Just when Tian Yun felt that the white wax fell into his hands, Tian Ji sent someone to send money back to his natal family, which inspired him.

The poor can't afford it, and the palace can't afford it?

So he asked those palace people to send a box of white wax to Lanchi Palace.

He believes that if Fusu is really lucky as his sister said, he will definitely see the candle he sent into the palace.

Although white wax may not be as bright as beeswax, white wax is cheap and easy to get, which is just right for the brightly lit palace at night.

It's a pity that the timing of his gift of white wax was wrong. It happened that Fusu was renovating the Lanchi Palace, and he took Tian Ji and others to Tangchi Palace to soak in the hot springs.

Afterwards, there were a series of events such as changing the Yuan, Fusu spent most of his time in Lantian, Shanglinyuan, and Zhangtai Palace, and occasionally stayed in Tangchi Palace, where he was often slept with.

So Tian Ji couldn't find a chance to be alone to attract Fusu's attention to the candle. It wasn't until last night that she had the cheek to take the initiative to attack, and she finally fulfilled her promise to Tian Yun.

However, she would not tell outsiders about the fact that the candle dripped hot on her body.

Tian Yun took a few deep breaths, stabilized his emotions, and cupped his hands and said, "It was I who gave it to the palace."

Fusu asked, "How much do you know about wax worms?"

Ash worms?This name is really appropriate... Tian Yun nodded, and said confidently: "I know everything."

Hey, what a big tone... If you dare to talk nonsense to me, I will not give Tian Ji any face... Fu Su recalled the memory of white wax worms in his mind: "Start with the habits of white wax worms Let's talk about it."

Tian Yun crossed his hands and said, "Here!"

"Ash worms are mostly born in privet trees and ash trees. Every spring when the flowers bloom is their egg-laying period, and the eggs will turn into larvae in March and April."

"Afterwards, the male and female live separately. The males belong to yang, prefer yin, and gather under the leaves; the females belong to yin, like yang, and mostly gather on the leaves."

"Every August, when the branches are covered with ash, the ash can be picked."

"Chop off the branches and boil them in a kettle. The white wax will turn into a yellow liquid. After standing for a while, it will turn white. This is head wax."

"Afterwards, put the impurities in the kettle into a cloth bag, heat and press it, and the small wax pieces obtained are called diwax."

Fu Su nodded incredulously, what Tian Yun said was more detailed than what he knew, it seemed that he really knew how to make pewter.

No matter what his motives are, I like smart people like him... In other words, do I count as a love house...Fu Su smiled and said seriously: "I have two arrangements for you."

"One, I'm a shareholder, no, it's a partnership. I contribute the money, and you contribute the technology. You don't need to transfer to the market. I will share the money with you [-]-[-]."

"Second, if you come to the Shaofu to be an official, I will set up a separate order for you to be responsible for the cultivation, collection, and production of white wax worms. The profits obtained will belong to the Shaofu."

Shaofu's, that is, Zhen's... After Fusu finished speaking, he looked at Tian Yun, who had various expressions on his face, and didn't say a word.

If you choose the first option, maybe Tian Yun will become a wealthy businessman someday in the future, but that's all.

It is said that Wuzhiluo, who is said to count livestock according to the grain, was able to "ask the court" with his ministers, not because of his wealth, but because of his status as the head of Rongdi.

As for the latter.

Fusu actually wanted him to ask for money more, because Tian Ji was regarded by him as a candidate for queen, so the power of foreign relatives would be a double-edged sword, which needed to be used with caution.

Tian Yun was silent for less than a minute, and said firmly: "I am willing to go to the Shaofu as an official!"

He's not a fool, even though he doesn't need to change his city status.

However, the state of Qin is based on the twentieth-level military merit nobility. No matter how rich the common people are, they can't live as happily as those with high titles!
Besides, no matter how incompetent Tian Yun is, he is also the successor of Duke Qi, how can he let go of the opportunity to go to the temple again?
"Very good!" Fusu nodded and smiled, and then asked, "Do you know where there are privet trees and ash trees around Neishi (Xianyang)?"

Tian Yun pondered for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "I don't know, I am a citizen, and I can't leave the Six Kingdoms for no reason, so..."

So under Qin Law, you are an 'otaku' in disguise... Fu Su smiled and said:
"It was my mistake... How about this, you will take office within a few days, and search for privet trees and ash trees in the surrounding areas of Neishi and the counties in Guanzhong. Before spring, if you find them, you will build a local workshop. When we arrived, we introduced it from Linzi County. Anyway, the climate in Guanzhong is similar to that there.”

Tian Yun was overjoyed, straightened up, crossed his hands and saluted: "Here!"

Fu Su said curiously: "I'll ask again, how did you know such details?"

Tian Yun replied: "The family teacher is Chen Mao, the successor of Chen Xiang."

Chen Xiang?Who is this...Fu Su frowned slightly, and then suddenly realized: "But in "Mencius Teng Wengong [-]", Chen Xiang, who first studied Confucianism in Song Dynasty, and later worshiped Xu Xing from the farmer Xu Xing with his younger brother Chen Xin?"

Tian Yun was shocked: "Your Majesty is really knowledgeable!"

After being chased and flattered by my brother-in-law, I asked who else was there!A reserved smile appeared on Fusu's face.
