Was your home ransacked on your wedding day?I emptied the Marquis's house and tore my son-in-la

Chapter 155: I need your polish, Mr. Xiao
After leaving the prison, the county magistrate did not show up, but the master and the government servants were waiting for Shen Ru.

"Miss Shen, what do you say about the Shen family?"

"Use common sense and let them go where they should go."

Shen Ru said calmly, "I'd like to thank you all."

After saying that, Shen Ru signaled to the master and the Yamen servants, and then left the Yamen with Cui Xi.

"Miss, have the third master and the third wife always been like this?"

On the way, Cuixi couldn't help but ask.

"What?"

Shen Ru asked rhetorically.

"It's just... I obviously want to beg you, Miss, but I don't have a good word to say."

"Who would help such a thing!"

Yes, Shen Ru likes to be aware of current affairs, and she prefers soft things to tough ones!
Who can have sympathy for those who regard themselves as enemies?Shen Ming died and she could only say that he deserved it!

Shen Ru didn't say that Xiao Wujin would free the prisoners from hard labor after the river channel was dug. Then the three uncles and three aunts would have to make a living with their own hands!
"After you go back, don't talk to your parents. They know that it's nothing but something on their mind."

Shen Ru warned Cui Xi.

"Okay, Miss."

After returning home, Shen Ruye and An Qiao told Yaoyao that as long as their parents didn't ask, they wouldn't say anything.

Soon, everyone in the family started to get busy.

There was movement on the top of the mountain. Although this matter was left to Mul Qin, Shen Ru also went to supervise the work. Taking into account that wells might be drilled in the future, the scope of the fence was naturally wider.

All the overflowing black water has been collected, and there are two large buckets.

There is probably only one barrel of lubricating oil obtained through distillation.

Shen and Cuixi went to find a candle maker together. Candles made of petroleum, called stone candles, were tested.It was found that this was brighter than an ordinary white candle, and that one stone candle was worth three.

In addition, Shen Ru also found a craftsman to make the oil lamp.

Using oil lamps for lighting at night is much brighter than candles.

"Shen Ru, you are homeless every day. It's hard for me to find you. What have you been doing?"

On this day, when Shen Ruru was about to go out, he was blocked by Lu Yi at the door, and then he was invited to the Governor's Mansion.

Facing Xiao Wujin's displeased look, Shen Ru took out an oil lamp and a few candles.

"Master Xiao, look at this, aren't you asking me what I'm busy with? I'm just busy with this!"

"Isn't it just oil lamps and candles?"

Xiao Wujin picked it up and looked at it, but didn't feel anything different.

"Then try lighting it and see."

Shen Ru looked confident and satisfied.

Seeing this, Xiao Wujin lit the oil lamp.

"Ok?"

Ordinary oil lamps either have a strong smell or a strong smell of smoke, but this oil lamp... seems to be quite bright.

"Shen Ru, did you use vegetable oil or some expensive oil?"

Xiao Wujin couldn't help but ask, "Are you too extravagant?"

"In that case, do I need to show it to you?"

Shen Ru asked back, "This is the black water in the mountains. I distilled it to extract some oil, and then used other methods to dissolve it. In short... do you think this oil lamp can be sold at a good price?"

"Lianshui?"

Xiao Wujin frowned. He also looked through ancient books and found very few mentions of this thing.

When all the records are put together, there is only the word "flammable".

"Of course, if it's sold, I can't say it's extracted from mountain water. Well, let's just say it's shark oil from an extremely cold place. It can burn for a long time."

"And this stone candle, it looks like an ordinary candle, but it's actually made of that water." Xiao Wujin picked up the oil lamp and looked at it in surprise. There was almost no smell.

"Shen Ru, you know that ordinary people don't have access to candles and oil lamps."

"Not to mention that this thing of yours is obviously worth a lot of money."

"So, give it to dignitaries and look for some high-end buyers."

Shen Ru said: "Is it something? I need you, Mr. Xiao, to come and see if it is a good thing. If it is to be sold, of course it needs to be packaged."

Xiao Wujin looked at the oil lamp and stone candle, picked them up and weighed them.

"To say it's shark oil is too false. It's better to say it's a big fish from the far north."

Shen Ru was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled, Xiao Wujin is the one who understands!

"Literati are still smart. Then, Mr. Xiao, let's figure out how to package this thing into a valuable thing."

"Why are you looking for me?"

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru and asked?

"We all discovered Lishui together, and you helped me get this mountain. I should ask you for help in everything I say. Don't worry, the benefits will inevitably come from you."

Shen Ru said without thinking.

"that's it?"

Xiao Wujin asked back.

He could always see surprises in Shen Ru.After not seeing each other for a few days, he felt a little worried in his heart. The most important thing was that Shen Ru understood him.

Although he didn't know how much Shen Ru was worth, it was true that Shen Ru sent him money intentionally or unintentionally.

"I can think of a way for you, but if you want to sell it, it's better to go to Yan Shaoqing."

"Oh, you are so optimistic about him, but if you do this, won't I lose most of my income?"

Shen Ru said deliberately.

"Did I know that he gave you 5000 taels before?"

Xiao Wujin said teasingly, "Shen Ru, you have a big appetite."

"Master Xiao, you don't know something. The jade screen with palm surface is a treasure from my family in the past."

Shen Ru quickly explained: "I originally took it as a door-to-door gift, but who knew that the eldest sister Yan Shaoqing was so unruly that she dropped it without even looking at what was inside."

"Yan Shaoqing knows the best quality Hetian jade. Otherwise, how could he pay so much for it?"

"It further proves that the Yan family is a wealthy family!"

"Master Xiao, aren't you already very good at catching rich people in Liangzhou harvesting their wool?"

Xiao Wujin had a look on his face, knowing what Shen Ru meant.

"Of course, if you take it from the people and use it for the people, I have no problem with it."

"The Yan family has intervened. Can you help me negotiate this share?"

"What do you want to talk about?"

Xiao Wujin's heart felt inexplicably heavy. If Shen Ru wanted to hand over such a matter to herself, was he in her eyes not just because of his status as governor?

"Well, he's two, you're one, and I'm seven!"

Shen Ru said directly: "I bought that hilltop with money, and I also told the surrounding farmers that if the water caused any damage to their crops, I would be responsible for it. Furthermore, my people would surround the mountain, collect the water, and then search for it." Craftsmen, when the time comes to build a workshop, it will all cost money!”

"Why give me one?"

Xiao Wujin asked again.

"Good things naturally need to be packaged well. A small stone candle oil lamp, coupled with the provenance that Mr. Xiao has polished, will naturally be worth a lot. Ordinary candles cost twenty cents, and I want to sell my candles for Fifty articles, of course, we need Mr. Xiao’s story.”

"Oh, I am a dignified governor, but you are using me as a storyteller."

Xiao Wujin didn't get angry but smiled, "Shen Ru, let me explain it to you one time!"
