I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 335 Whale Oil

"If my father thinks so, I will send people to make this soap on a large scale!"

Ying Changsheng smiled and said to Brother Chaozheng. When the topic changed, he mentioned it again.

"Of course, to make this soap, you can make as much as you want!"

"Oh? What, what's the limit?"

After Ying Changsheng's words fell, Ying Zheng on the side couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and then looked at his son Ying Changsheng, slightly puzzled, only to hear Ying Changsheng open his mouth to explain.

"Father, what my son is worried about is nothing else. This soap is very easy to make, but the raw materials needed to make soap are really hard to get!"

Well, the technical content of soap making is not too high. In the current Daqin, it can be done completely. Later generations of primary school students often play with this thing when they take handicraft classes.

But the problem is that the raw materials of soap are really hard to get.

After hearing Ying Changsheng's worry, Brother Zheng, who was lying in the swimming pool, couldn't help frowning, then looked at his son Ying Changsheng, and asked.

"Tell me, kid, what raw materials are needed to make this soap?"

Well, Ying Zheng is a little confused about this, he can't wait to know what kind of raw materials are needed to make soap!

Hearing this, Ying Changsheng is also unambiguous, and Brother Chaozheng said directly.

"Other raw materials are not difficult, but this fat is really difficult to get!"

Ying Changsheng explained to Ying Zheng.

The moment after hearing his explanation, Ying Zheng suddenly understood.

He completely understood why Ying Changsheng was unwilling to produce soap on a large scale.

Just because this fat is really too difficult to get rid of.

Fat is not easy to get. Even a fat pig can’t get much fat on its body. Moreover, fat is a rare oil. Ordinary people would not be willing to eat it in normal times. They use this thing to make Soap that cannot be eaten is indeed a bit of a waste.

I only saw Ying Changsheng who was beside Ying Zheng said.

"If this is the case, the cost of this soap will probably be a bit high!"

"Father's words are very true, and the facts are indeed true!"

Ying Changsheng nodded. What Brother Zheng said is indeed true. In this era of not too high productivity, the cost of soap is indeed a bit high.

Just listen to Ying Changsheng continue to say.

"It's fine if it's just a simple high cost, but the crux of the problem is that this fat is really hard to get rid of!"

"Indeed!"

Ying Zheng nodded. For fat, if soap is to be produced on a large scale, a little bit is definitely not enough, and the problem cannot be solved by killing a few pigs.

Thinking of this, Brother Zheng inevitably frowned, but soon, Ying Zheng seemed to have thought of something again, and he opened his mouth and said to Ying Changsheng in front of him.

"Actually, there is no solution. The solution is actually very simple. There is a way to solve this problem!"

"Oh?"

After Ying Zheng's voice fell, Ying Changsheng's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Ying Zheng, and then opened his mouth to ask.

"What's the solution? Please tell my father!"

"The way, it's very simple!"

Ying Zheng said with a smile, and then, only heard him say.

"There is no other way. You boy, have you ever forgotten what materials the burning candles in Xianyang Palace are made of?"

After Ying Zheng's voice fell, Ying Changsheng suddenly came to his senses.

Well, Brother Zheng reminded Ying Changsheng.

Indeed.

Daqin does not lack this fat.

It's just that I just won Changsheng for a while, and I didn't expect this one.

Just like what Brother Zheng said just now, the candles in Xianyang Palace, in this era of underdeveloped productivity, the material of the candles is actually nothing but whale oil.

It’s just the fat of the whale. Brother Zheng saw the whale on the surface of the sea during his eastward tour, and ordered the soldiers on the boat to kill it with a Qin crossbow. Then, he took the whale’s meat. , After boiling, the whale oil that comes out.

And what Brother Zheng just said also reminded Ying Changsheng.

He can look for fat from fish above the sea!
Why do you have to limit your gaze to the land?
I have to say, Brother Zheng's words really woke up Ying Changsheng.

I only saw Ying Changsheng smiling and said brother Chaozheng.

"What the father said is very true. My son has already figured out a way. In the future, I, Daqin, can send out a fleet, and then go to the sea to hunt whales. After capturing these whales, I can cut their meat into pieces. Then boil it on the ship on the spot to obtain whale oil. In this way, put it in a barrel and bring it back to the port. It can be used by Daqin as lamp oil, or used to make this soap. Or it was transported to the people and sold!"

"Indeed!"

Ying Changsheng's voice fell, and Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

As for winning immortality, he couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

If this is the case, the Great Qin Empire will probably not be short of fat in the future.

You can have enough fat to make this candle, and you can use it to make these soaps. Until the future, the level of industrial chemistry has developed to a certain level, so you have enough technical means to make more fat through chemical means. Many chemical alternatives.

In the evening!

When the weather gradually turned cold, Ying Zheng finally stopped staying in the swimming pool.

After all, the weather is not so hot anymore.

There is no need for Yingzheng. If he continues to stay inside, he can go back to his dormitory to rest.

When Brother Zheng left, Ying Changsheng was thinking about how to make a loom that could improve the efficiency of weaving.

Compared with history, when the European Industrial Revolution started with the cotton spinning industry, the industrial development of Daqin at this moment started with heavy industry.

At present, in the whole of Daqin, this is biased towards steel and machinery heavy industries.

At this time, it is actually very simple to develop a weaving machine. After all, it is wrong to invent the steam engine in history. It should be Watt who improved the steam engine.

The machine invented before the improved steam engine was known as the spinning jenny.

The technical content is actually not too high, and Ying Changsheng and the others can easily imitate it at this time.

After returning to the palace.

After thinking about it before going to bed.

The next day, it was just dawn.

Ying Changsheng got up quickly and then, after a simple wash, Ying Changsheng did not hesitate at all.

He hurriedly took a step, and then arrived at Shaofu.

At this time, Gongshu Shangzao had already started a new day's work in this official uniform.

Just then, he saw Ying Changsheng walking in from outside.
