In the morning, Yu Wenwen, who had breakfast, was reading the memorial in the hall. Because he had not had a good rest last night, he was yawning now. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, he put the memorial next to him and lay on the couch for a nap.

Fortunately, there is no need to attend court today, so he can make up for his sleep. As the saying goes, heroes are sad to pass the beauty. As a vulgar man, Yuwen Wen will inevitably be cut down by a beautiful woman who looks like a soft body.

The young and beautiful Chen Hua and the older but charming Zhang Lihua are composed of the two, and the "combination" is very powerful, which makes Yuwen Wen unable to stop.

A beautiful lady is a gentleman, but he has to support his own harem. In order to "support his family", Yuwen Wen must find a way to make more money.

The daily expenses of beauties cost money, and their children need to start a family and start a business. For example, when Zhang Lihua got married last year, he and Zhang Lihua prepared generous dowry.

As a young grandfather and grandfather, Yuwen Wen is the leader of the clan. He has to prepare gifts for his descendants during festivals. As the saying goes, the family has a great business and a lot of expenses. If you don’t find a way to make more money, you can’t exploit the people and suck the bones and suck the marrow.

When he thought of supporting his family, his sleepiness disappeared without a trace, Yuwen Wen got up from the couch and continued to read the memorials. The memorials from Yanzhou made him fascinated.

This is good news: Yanzhou's local specialties have finally been successfully upgraded with the efforts of countless people.

In the territory of Yanzhou, since ancient times, a black "fat water" emerged from the ground and flowed like a stream. This black fat water is called "stone fat water" and can be ignited directly. It was recorded in the Han Dynasty.

"Stone Liquid Water" is actually oil, and its primary extract is fierce turbulent oil.

Gaonu County, Shangjun in the Han Dynasty, and Guang'an County, Yanzhou, today, is the only oil field in the Zhou Dynasty that can be exploited on a relatively easy and large-scale basis.

Later, during the Northern Song Dynasty, Shen Kuo mentioned Yanzhou Petroleum in his works; later generations, China's first onshore oil well should also be there.

Since becoming the throne, Yuwen Wen invested manpower and material resources to formally exploit oil in Guang'an, Yanzhou. After years of development, he finally established a primary oil factory integrating oil extraction, refining and refining, specializing in the production of hot turbulent oil.

It is just a production of hot turmeric oil.

Oil is the blood of the industry, not only a power fuel, but also an important chemical raw material. However, Yuwen Wen is self-aware and will not seek to refine diesel, kerosene, or gasoline. He only wants to use it to fight.

Whether it is the "Greek fire" in the West or the fierce tinder oil in the East, they are common primary products of "ancient" technology to extract oil. The various types of tinder oil bombs equipped by the Zhou army mainly come from Guang'an.

There is also oil produced in Nanyang Fanbian (Yuwen Wen suspected that the area where Nayang Fanbian was located was later Borneo), which was transported back to China by Nanyang Trading Company as a specialty and was initially refined into hot tinder oil in Guangzhou Fanyu, either supplying military supplies or selling it as lamp oil.

Compared with overseas "imports", Yanzhou Guang'an is the most reliable place for producing hot tinder oil, so Yuwen Wen attaches great importance to Guang'an's hot tinder oil manufacturing site. Now, the manufacturing site has new products.

Yu Wen Wen opened the wooden box that he sent with the memorial and saw several candles inside. He picked up one and looked carefully in the sunlight. He found that the color of the candle was yellow, but it was different from the yellow color of the candle made of beeswax.

Candles are lighting objects made of wax. In this era, there were two main sources of candles: one was insect wax and the other was beeswax.

Whale blanch oil can also extract whale, but it has no market value. Since ancient times, it has been mostly used by emperors, so it is not considered a common wax.

Worm wax is white, which is a substance secreted by insects similar to those of termites; beeswax is yellow, also known as yellow wax and beeswax, which is a secretion of bees.

No matter which type of wax it is, it is very troublesome to collect it, because a large number of insects or bees need to continuously secrete wax, so that they can "gather the armpits" and make candles.

Therefore, candles are not cheap lighting items. Common families can afford them but cannot afford them. They can only rely on oil lamps to illuminate them. One way for wealthy families to show off their wealth is to light a large number of candles to illuminate the hall like daytime.

Yuwen Wen put the candle in his hand on the candlestick, took out a box of matches, lit the matches, and then used it to light the candle. Looking at the jumping fire, he was filled with joy.

From now on, the popularity of candles is no longer a dream!

For Yu Wenwen, the technology of extracting hot tincture oil from oil originated from thirty years ago. In order to survive, he tried his best to improve his combat effectiveness. The relatively easy-to-achieve oil primary refining product, Fengqiuo, is one of them.

At that time, Huangzhou (Bazhou) had no oil, and it was all about purchasing from profiteers. Fortunately, this substance, called "stone fat water", was often used as a specialty by overseas merchants and brought to the Central Plains (Jiangnan) for sale. Therefore, Yuwen Wen's small workshop had raw materials to extract hot turbulent oil.

After years of development, technicians who refine harsh oil have gradually discovered a variety of characteristics of oil, one of which is waxization.

A container that stores oil or a pipeline device that has oil flow, over time, there are waxy objects on the inner wall. If not treated, it will easily block the pipeline or make the container "dirty".

So, how to eliminate this wax and efficiently extract the hot turmeric oil is a problem that technicians need to solve.

To eliminate wax, you must understand it before you can configure "eliminators" in a targeted manner. So after "understanding" for many years, technicians accidentally found a set of methods to artificially refine waxes.

Then, a new product that replaces insect wax and beeswax - paraffin wax, appeared.

The candles that Yuwen Wen lit are made of paraffin. Although the refining process cannot ensure that the color of paraffin is "pure" and looks yellow and slightly black, it is already an amazing achievement for Yuwen Wen.

Because he always believed that with his current technical level, it is already the limit to extracting strong tinder with oil. As for other by-products, they are nothing more than asphalt-like substances. Paving roads will pollute the environment and are useless at all.

However, the years of exploration have allowed technicians to explore the method of producing paraffin.

Later it was discovered that candles made of paraffin can also be lit, and there is no difference between insect wax and beeswax candles, but the production cost of this kind of candle is not low, and it is several times that of commercially available insect wax and beeswax candles.

It does not seem to have any practical value, but the technicians at Guangning Factory have spent more than ten years since the site construction to improve and optimize the extraction process, which greatly reduces the extraction cost of paraffin.

Now, according to the memorial, the production cost of a paraffin candle is one-third of that of a general candle, but the output can initially reach tens of thousands of per month.

The "money fortune" that matches did not illuminate is now illuminated by another "light-sucking slave". Yuwen Wen looked at the jumping candlelight, and his eyes were also flashing with light.

Although the performance of this kind of candle is a little different, in Yuwen Wen's opinion, paraffin candles are as bright and charming as those of ice crystal jade-clear beauty.
