After "the clothes are gone during the day, the Yellow River flows into the sea", Governor Feng hugged his concubine, half lying on the couch, and asked lazily:

"You have been away from Nanzhong for so long, how come you still think that the trees in Nanzhong can be used to make candles?"

As soon as she talked about this, Amei, who was originally depressed, immediately became energetic:

"Isn't I recently learning the separation and purification method? Then I remembered that when I made beeswax, I used the purification method mentioned in the book."

"So I specially took some beeswax, melted it, and purified it again. I found that the floating substances contained lipids. I called it wax oil."

"Thinking again of the lamps and candles we use in daily life, aren't they just grease? So I wondered if anything containing such substances could be purified for burning?"

Gua la gua la...

I probably remembered that when I was in Nanzhong, the tribesmen had no lights at night, so they often broke off some kind of tree branch to use as a torch.

Those kinds of branches often contain wax-like oil, which burns very vigorously.

Now that I think about it, there is something similar to wax oil on the surface.

So when Hua Wan left Liangzhou last year, he specifically told Hua Wan that when he returned to Nanzhong, he would send some branches and leaves like these...

Although some wax oil was boiled and purified the first time, the quantity was too small, so it was not successful.

Fortunately, Governor Feng knew that doing scientific research meant burning money, so there was basically no upper limit on the money and food specially approved for Amei's laboratory.

That’s why we decided to let Dongfeng Express continue to transport branches and leaves from Nanzhong.

After hearing this, Governor Feng was silent for a long time. Finally, he patted Amei's smooth back and sighed:

"I was born in the wrong era!"

Even naming specific substances is not self-taught.

Although the understanding is still very general, this is because the chemical experimental conditions are too simple.

If we were in the historical stage of the great development of scientific enlightenment, it would be hard to say that she would be someone like Madame Curie.

Amei didn't know why and looked up at Feng Governor blankly.

"I don't mean anything else, I just think you are awesome."

"That's because the male gentleman taught me well."

"I have taught so many students, how many of them are like you?"

Feng Yongyong agreed with Amei’s disparaging statement.

"Even someone like Wei Rong is still inferior to you."

It's not that Wei Rong is not talented, but that his talent is not suitable for scientific research like Amei.

Because he is best at memorizing.

If you ask him to quote from scriptures, he will be able to explain it to you in a clear and logical manner.

Even Xiang Lang was full of praise for this.

But if you want him to research and innovate, he is far inferior to Amei.

So the best thing for him is to stay in the college and take charge of teaching work.

After receiving the approval from Governor Feng, Amei was filled with joy. She shrank in Governor Feng's arms and whispered:

"I want to ask my husband for a favor."

"What?"

"After spring, I want to go back to Nanzhong."

"Because of the candles?"

"Well, the trees from which wax oil is extracted are not available in Liangzhou. It is not a problem for Dongfeng Express to transport them all the time, so I want to go back to Nanzhong."

It is estimated that the species grown in Nanzhong cannot be moved to Liangzhou.

And even if they move to Liangzhou, I'm afraid they won't be able to wait until they grow up.

It would be better to establish a candle processing base directly in Nanzhong.

"It's time to go back. It's been so many years since I've been here. It's time to go back and pay homage to my parents."

Feng Yong pondered for a moment and continued:

"Don't you have a relationship with the Queen? After arriving in Hanzhong, go to see the Queen first and tell the Queen about this matter, and then go to Nanzhong."

When Zhang Xingcai took care of herself to prepare for pregnancy, Amei helped her out a little.

The Empress of the Han Dynasty was not particularly impressed by the maid of the Feng family.

After all, the spinning wheels now used in Dahan workshops are called plum wheels to distinguish them from the old spinning wheels in the past.

Besides, candles are now a luxury item, and they are also a tribute.

The most important thing is that the royal family established a Nanzhong Metallurgical Corporation in Nanzhong in the early years.

Amei has been with Governor Feng all these years and can engage in scientific research and learning without any distractions. No one dares to disturb him easily.

At the same time, this environment also caused her to be poor at dealing with worldly matters.

If we just let her go to Nanzhong, we don't have to worry about any big problems.

But she was afraid of delaying her improvement of the mass production candle technology.

After all, making it in the laboratory is one thing, but actual production is another.

Anyway, the issue of tribute cannot be bypassed by the royal family, so it is better to cooperate with the royal family from the beginning.

Amei only needs to improve the process, and let MCC Nan do the rest.

So, I still need to talk to Xiao Si first about this matter.

Sure enough, there is someone in the palace who can do things easily.

But you may have to work harder at night...

After thinking this, Governor Feng sighed and said to Amei:

"Make me deer antler soup tonight."

When Amei heard this, her pretty face turned slightly red and she whispered "Hmm".

In the last month of the 12th year of Jianxing, Governor Feng counted the days on his fingers almost every day.

When spring came after the thirteenth year of Jianxing, Hanzhong finally sent official documents, and Governor Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"You seem to be very anxious these days? So you are waiting for news from Hanzhong?"

The chief secretary took the screened official documents and sent them to Governor Feng.

After watching him browse quickly, his whole body suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help but ask strangely.

Governor Feng waved his hand, "You don't understand."

Mr. Zhao fell ill again this winter.

I heard that even Adou personally went to Nanxiang to visit.

But I got over it in the end.

Although he can no longer lift the gun, he still lives tenaciously.

If Mr. Zhao was the first to live beyond his due lifespan, then Mr. Zhuge is now the second.

This is encouraging good news.

"Then tell me something you understand."

Zhang Xiaosi took out a document from the pile of official documents and handed it to Feng Yong, "This Sun Shi...well, what exactly does Sun Quan want to do?"

As long as Old Demon Zhuge is around, the great man will not have any big troubles.

So in the past few months, the biggest thing was about Sun Quan exchanging a large number of treasures for a thousand war horses of Wei State.

At the same time, there were also rumors that Sun Quan wanted to make peace with the Wei State and reconnect with each other.

The old demon Zhuge even received a letter, which was written by Sun Quan to Cao Rui, preparing to declare his vassal status.

"What's there to say about this? It's just true and false to confuse people's eyes."

Feng Yong sneered, "Sun Quan spent so much effort to proclaim himself emperor behind closed doors. How could he change his title and become a vassal to Cao Rui?"

Others don't know, maybe Feng Yong doesn't know how much Emperor Sun desires the position of emperor?

"I know this is a plan of Wei thieves, but Sun Quan gave Cao Rui treasures, and Cao Rui gave Sun Quan war horses, it's not fake, right?"

Zhang Xingyi sat down next to Feng Yong angrily, "Wu people have always been untrustworthy. What I'm afraid of is what Sun Quan wants to do again."

"The people of Wu have always been at both ends of the spectrum. It's not surprising what Sun Quan does."

Feng Yong was not surprised and said calmly, "In my opinion, this is just the Wu people trying to take advantage again."

If I remember correctly, in the original history, when the Wu State learned of the death of the old demon Zhuge, they immediately sent an additional 10,000 troops to Baqiu.

Baqiu is another place where the Wu State has a heavy military garrison in Jingzhou besides Nanjun.
