Mu Tingxue turned her head and looked at this group of people who claimed to have "eye problems" in surprise.

Uncle Yan Xi said he couldn't see clearly, but he was wearing reading glasses. Yesterday, Li Fan devised a poisonous plot to frame her subordinates, but now he can call himself uncle and bow to him to ask for progress. I have never seen such a shameless person.

"Crying in the wind is conjunctivitis, which is called pepper sore in Chinese medicine."

Mu Tingxue choked and said, "Looking at Mr. Li's eyes, this princess has never suffered from pepper sores." It is commonly known as trachoma.

Li Fan naturally knew that she had a grudge for what happened yesterday, and he was not upset even if she hit a snag. The emotional management skills of the big shots in the officialdom were all top-notch. He asked with a smile: "I wonder what is used in this glazed lamp?" What is oil? There is no smoke at all."

The little emperor also came over and said, "Yes, Sister Huang, the oil lamp in my study is made of vegetable oil. It is smoky and smells like oil. It even smelt my eyes after a long time."

Mu Tingxue could not answer their questions.

Kerosene is separated from petroleum and is used in a wide range of applications, including lighting, pharmaceuticals, and organic chemicals.She has studied the geography of Yunhuang and found that there is an open-pit kerogen shale deposit in the west. This deposit has an oil content of 5.1% and is associated with lignite.

The problem is that ancient equipment is so primitive that it is basically impossible to mine kerogen shale. Ventilator rooms, scrubbers, cooling towers, chimneys, large furnaces, and gas heating furnaces can be obtained with drawings, but the materials are steel— -Tragedy strikes again, Yunhuang is still unable to make steel.

"I don't plan to promote and sell this kind of glazed lamp in large quantities."

After some careful consideration, Mu Tingxue decided to stop this money-making project.

Petroleum, gasoline, and kerosene are all volatile and cannot be stored for a long time.

If we cannot achieve self-sufficiency in fuel and just continue to purchase and transport from Hyundai, there will be huge risks.

The emperor and the four prime ministers immediately became anxious when they heard this.

"Such a practical glazed lamp, Sister Huang, I really need it!"

"Your Highness, please think about it again. I believe that many children from aristocratic families can afford it." This lampshade is made of crystal glass, so it is definitely not cheap, but Yundu has many powerful families.

Empress Dowager Yan saw the sincere eyes of the ministers and asked her daughter: "How many more of these glazed lamps are there?"

Mu Tingxue said, "A few dozen."

The eyes of the five people instantly became wild.

Mu Tingxue poured cold water on the spot: "It's just that the lamp oil of the glazed lamp cannot be guaranteed to be stable for a long time. Currently, we can only provide one porcelain jar at most."

She didn't want to dump a large amount of kerosene for a long time. It was too unsafe. What if someone accidentally caught fire and burned all the goods in the space.

Originally, this kerosene lamp was only intended for personal use by my children, mother, and fiancé.

"May I ask, Your Highness, how long can a porcelain jar of lamp oil last?"

"About one or two years." The kerosene lamp is filled with 500 ml. If you save a little, it can last a month; if you study hard, it will last half a month.

"Enough!"

Brother-in-law Cui was overjoyed. Others wanted the glazed lamp for their own use, but he wanted it for his baby.

Mu Tingxue said, "You guys can come to the Ministry of Household Affairs to pick up lamps in the afternoon."

She needed a moment to make two barrels of kerosene and pour them into a large ten-liter porcelain jar.

Although Mr. Yangcheng helped her promote the goddess character through nursery rhymes, she was now empty-handed and suddenly "conjured" a bunch of lamps and oils. The scene was too scary.

Queen Mother Yan was afraid that her daughter would suffer a loss, so she said: "At least 30 cups."

Yang Shizhong instantly withered and gave up the idea of ​​buying a glazed lamp.

If the Yang family had so much cash, how could they have been almost killed by the 40 yuan for the water transportation project?He also wanted to save some money to buy sweet potatoes.

Xie Xuanchen has not yet taken charge of the government, and he does not have much money in his private treasury, so he cannot afford it.He looked at the emperor pitifully, I am a poor emperor.

Mu Tingxue thought for a while and said, "Then 30 yuan, a lamp, and a bucket of lamp oil."

In ancient times, ten liters were equal to one bucket.

*. *. *

News spread quickly.

The powerful bosses rushed to the Hubu Yamen to buy kerosene lamps.

20 silver dollars are completely affordable for them.A glass lamp that is ten times brighter than a candlestick is of great use.

"Only eighty."

Mu Tingxue kept seventeen lamps for herself. The eldest princess's palace and the regent's palace needed them, and they also had to give them to relatives and friends.

On the ground, there are eighty large porcelain jars with porcelain lids tightly sealed.

Li Fan stood at the front and took out 90 banknotes: "I want three of them!"

Mu Tingxue teased and said, "Uncle is still as wealthy as ever."

Although Li Dang always deals with her, he is her largest customer, buying first and buying the most.

No one has trouble with money, and the aversion to Li Fan in his heart has dropped from 90.00% to [-]%.

"I would like one, please, Your Highness the Princess."

"Weichen, buy one. It's so bright."

"How can I miss such a good thing?"

……

In a quarter of an hour, all eighty glass lamps were sold out.

Mu Tingxue made a crazy profit of 400 million!

Hehe, the space can be expanded again.

Other buyers couldn't put down the glazed lanterns, but Mr. Jing Yu was obviously more interested in the kerosene in the large porcelain vat. He opened a vat of kerosene, leaned over and looked at it for a long time, and even got closer to smell it.

"A word of advice, this kind of smokeless lamp oil is very dangerous, flammable and highly irritating. If you accidentally inhale the liquid lamp oil, it will cause pulmonary edema, headache, difficulty breathing, poisoning and other symptoms." Mu Tingxue said slowly.

Li Fan turned pale at that moment and hurriedly stood up straight, fearing he would be poisoned and die.

In the house, someone tried to light a fire.

Mu Tingxue walked over and snatched the fire certificate; "Prince Shenwei Hou, do you want to kill everyone? There is so much smokeless lamp oil in this room. If it is not handled properly, it will cause violent combustion and explosion."

Su Zixiu's pupils shrank: "I... never meant this!"

The other buyers were terrified.

Burning violently?explode?This is too dangerous!

Mu Tingxue said in a deep voice: "You are not allowed to light fires in the house. There are safety instructions for using smokeless lamp oil. You can get a copy and scatter it."

Don't get together in such a special way, something could easily happen.

The ministers of these aristocratic families took a piece of paper from the eldest princess's pear wood desk, which contained detailed instructions on how to use the glass lamp, how to adjust the brightness, and the safety regulations for lamp oil.After thanking him profusely, he asked the accompanying servants to quickly carry away a bucket of lamp oil and send everyone back to their homes.

Su Zixiu, the prince of Shenwei Hou, was still waiting in Mu Tingxue's room after everyone else left.

"What else can I do, Your Majesty?"

Mu Tingxue looked at this young man. His shoulder-length brown hair was slightly curly. His bangs covered his right forehead. His eyebrows on the left were broken eyebrows. He was very distinctive. He had long, narrow, deep eyes and sharp-edged eyebrows. The outline and appearance can be rated as eight points.

The eldest son of the Commander-in-Chief of the Southeast Navy, he holds the rank of Southeast Navy Commander. He looks quite prosperous, but he is actually in Yundu as a hostage to prevent his father from being dishonest in his support of the army.

Su Zixiu, a handsome man with broken eyebrows, said: "The 12 navy troops allocated by His Highness last time have been used up. Since you are not here this month, Mr. Zheng did not approve the salary message from Southeast."

Mu Tingxue thought to herself, "It's okay if you don't approve it. You, a young prince of the Su family, bought a kerosene lamp worth 30 taels of silver as soon as you asked for it. It shows that your Su family is completely a local emperor on the southeast coast. You don't know how rich you are."

The Southeast Salt Road was destroyed, and the local sea salt industry was almost entirely under the control of the Su family.

Those 30 Southeast Navy troops are, to put it bluntly, the private army of your Su family.

The only role it can play is to suppress Japanese invaders.
