Fusu has experienced many small worlds, most of whom are traveling, and naturally they have more experiences.

Fusu analyzed the products of various small worlds and found that many of them are interconnected, while others have evolved from generation to generation, such as some plants in ancient times and in later generations.

Because of this, even if there are many useful animals and plants in my mind, Fusu did not rashly send people to find it. After all, the climate, soil, geographical environment and the times they are in are different, and they may not necessarily exist.

This is also the reason why Fusu regards the establishment of an office in Xianyang as the first formal work. With a direct residence in hand, he can easily understand the properties in various places, and can also check for omissions and fill in the reported content through a deep chat with the permanent officials sent by the local government.

Fusu didn't know where this bug grew on the Ligustrum tree, but after the official's description, it was basically confirmed that it could be found in Bashu.

It's easy to find it. He knows the physiological cycle of this "worm".

Every spring is when the flowers bloom, their egg laying period will be. By March and April, the eggs will turn into larvae. After another twenty days, the first-instar larvae will become second-instar larvae. At this time, the male and female will separate, and the male will gather together and secrete white wax.

This is the origin of the name Ashworm.

As long as there is no human interference in the ashworm, a female can lay 7,000 eggs a year and reproduce very quickly. In addition, the aggregation characteristics of male insects, so it can easily collect enough white wax during the wax production period by stocking them in the mountains. It is necessary to consider whether there are enough privet trees and ash trees to carry them.

Huaicai made this trip, and the time he was delayed on the road and the time he had gathered people, it was almost time for the harvesting season of ash wax. You can get the first batch of ash wax back according to his instructions.

After all, Bashu is far away from Xianyang. Next, Fusu is preparing to ask Huaicai not to come back first. Let's stay there for the best wax harvesting mode, try to squeeze out the value of ash waxworms, and strive to make them produce high-quality white wax every year.

At present, there are some places where wax is used in the Qin State on weekdays, but the wax source is far less easy to obtain than ash waxworms, and it has not been made into the thin and long candles that Fusu once saw. If this wax source can be stabilized, the candles can be mass-produced.

Although the ash wax has not yet been in place, Fusu has already prepared the mold and candlestick. Once the ash wax is harvested, the first batch of candles will be mass-produced here and then fine-tuned the mold.

This matter has little impact on the war. Fusu can be at ease to work and discuss it with Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang was in a depressed mood recently. He became interested when he heard that Fusu was going to make new things. He took the existing wax source with Fusu and started to trick in various ways.

Wax is used for many purposes because it is highly plastic and has a certain hardness after cooling. Therefore, white wax can be mixed with pigments and turned into different colors. Mixed with spices can bring out different fragrances when burning, and candles can create many tricks.

What's more, adjust the ratio, mix toner or other raw materials into the wax, pour it into the model and wait for it to cool down, and you will soon have crayons of different colors.

The advantage of this thing is that it is cheap and easy to carry. You don’t need to carry a pen, ink and inkstone with you, just put one on it casually.

Although crayons also have disadvantages, such as the color fading and blurring may appear as you touch it at will, but you don’t have so many requirements when writing drafts and making records. It’s good to copy it back and write it again. It’s also good to write and draw for children. The colors are diverse and bright colors, which can easily stimulate children’s curiosity and learning spirit.

Anyway, there is a lot of things to do with enough wax, and it’s not too much time to do.

Zhang Liang is also a well-informed person, but he has never heard of any insects that can produce wax. However, Fusu is already enthusiastic about calling artificial molds, so he doesn't want to pour cold water on it.

If you can really find such a white waxworm, you can only feel that there are all kinds of creations in heaven.

Zhang Liang also thought about the model of candles and crayons. Before the new wax was sent back, they asked people to try to infuse a batch of wax that was not much on hand.

The Shaofu Office manages the entire official handicraft stall. They do what Fusu wants seriously. Although the existing wax quality is average, the results are not too bad. The first batch is formed, but it is still a little far from Fusu's requirements.

Fusu adjusted the ratio again and asked someone to try it for the second time.

Fusu went back and forth to get wax, and poured it into the mold with big hands. Ying Zheng quickly noticed that he was making a fortune and took the person in front of him and asked him what he was fiddling with.

Fusu was carrying crayons and candles that he was going to take back to Zhang Liang. When Ying Zheng asked, he took them out for Ying Zheng to show them, saying that this was called crayons. Mix a certain proportion of pigments into the wax, add some other raw materials to shape them, and immediately make this colorful pen. You can write and draw with one with you, which is very convenient and easy to use.

Fusu also showed his face to Zhang Liang, saying that this was something he and Zhang Liang had done together, and he was about to take it back to see Zhang Liang.

After hearing this, Ying Zheng not only didn't think Zhang Liang had any good ideas, but also felt that Zhang Liang was instigating Fusu to use public instruments for private use and deliberately instigating Fusu to make a fortune.

You said that this thing is not edible and has little use, so I will write and draw for you. It also consumes so many people to make wax and paint. What is the use of making it except for spending more money?

The yield of wax is not high, and it takes a lot of effort to make it. It is usually used to make it into sealing wax and use it as a bamboo slip. This is a good thing. As soon as it comes, it encourages Fusu to use it to tinker with crayons. It is not just a little bit, but to move it out in batches.

Candles are of some use, but compared to lamp oil that can be found everywhere, this thing is still too luxurious.

At present, what Qin State needs the least is luxury.

Ying Zheng taught Fusu with a calm face, asking him not to spend money and effort on fun, so he went to the Shaofu Office to get some useless things out.

If the cost cannot be reduced, creating these things will only increase the burden on the court and the people!

Fusu was a little confused by Ying Zheng's scolding. He only came back to his senses after Ying Zheng scolded him, remembering that he had not yet talked about the ashworm to Ying Zheng.

Fusu quickly told Ying Zheng about the discovery of the ash waxworm. Although Huaicai had only set out for a while, the official said that "white worms are all over the tree" and the ash waxworms were completely in line with the trees that the "white worms" were indeed the kind that the immortals saw in their dreams, so he felt that it was safe to harvest white wax.

Ying Zheng heard Fusu say that this was taught by the immortal in his dream, and his expression calmed down a little, but he still did not forget to continue educating Fusu: "Before seeing the result, nothing in the world is sure to be sure."

Fusu responded obediently: "The boy understands."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and sent Fusu away, and confiscated the crayons and candles that Fusu brought.

Fusu didn't care, so he walked back to the Shaofu Office to get another copy, and then left the palace to share the latest finished products made by Zhang Liang, and at the same time muttered to Zhang Liang about his scolding.

Zhang Liang felt a little sad after hearing what Fusu reposted.

Even if Ying Zheng is just educating his son, it means that Ying Zheng is currently focusing all his thoughts on war and hates the extravagant trend.

He had heard Han Fei talk about some of Ying Zheng's actions. Ying Zheng was very sincere in treating Wei Liao and the others at the beginning. He rode the same car with them, and was close to them, and seemed to have no airs of a king of a country.

Regardless of whether this is the attitude that Ying Zheng intentionally put on, at least Ying Zheng has this awareness.

Zhang Liang said: "The wax source is indeed uncertain. If there is no stable wax source, it is really a waste for us to do this."

Fusu actually doesn’t value material desires much, but he just thinks that since he encounters all, he still needs to make use of them.

He smiled and said, "There should be news from Huaicai that soon. If you stock more ash waxworms at that time, the wax source will be stable."

Zhang Liang nodded and began to try out the newly made crayons with Fusu.

Although it is difficult to pursue too high texture when writing crayons, daily painting is almost the same. If the cost can be reduced, it is quite good to use it for children.

The candle is also good to light. If the wax is good, the smoke is smaller than the oil lamp. Fusu is quite satisfied with the efficiency of the people below.

Unfortunately, the workshop under the Shaofu Office was owned by the court. After being taught a lesson by Ying Zheng, Fusu realized that he was indeed suspected of using public instruments for private use.

It seems that I should not be so anxious next time, at least wait until the ingredients are in place.

After Fusu reflected on his reflection, he temporarily put down the ashworm and drew several familiar doctors from the Imperial College to make a newspaper.

The direct residence was originally intended to facilitate the connection between the court and the local government. If the institutions were set up, they would naturally play their due role.

The diary is a new thing that accompanies the diary.

The so-called residence report means that local governments usually send basic information to the direct residence, and send emergency reports when encountering emergencies.

Taking into account the current road conditions and traffic conditions, it is temporarily set to be one period of January. Officials at all levels in the North Korea and Central China must have a copy to fully understand the movement conditions in various places, and take into account the actual local conditions when making decisions.

Of course, if there is any special news, don’t wait for the news of the Xun residence to be reported, and you have to send it to the court as soon as possible.

This is the bottom to the top.

It would be even more direct if you talk about the upper and lower aspects.

Officials sent to Xianyang from the local government must organize various official documents every day and classify them according to priorities and send them to the county magistrates in various places. Then the county magistrates in various places convey various imperial edicts from the court to the county and township.

In fact, there are people in the court doing these things. All Fusu needs to do is to regulate this kind of work to the direct residence, so that the whole process will be clearer and more efficient.

When Huaicai sent someone to send the first batch of white wax back, the officials in the court also received the first newspaper.

For ordinary people, this thing may be of little use, but for court officials who make many decisions every day, it has great reference significance.

Whether you want to systematically review and analyze the imperial edicts from the court last month or to understand the basic situation in the relevant areas, you can get what you want to know by carefully reading this newspaper.

Fusu diligently distributed a newspaper to the officials and Ying Zheng when he was in court, and then began to sell miserable things when they expressed their satisfaction and praise for the work of the Shaofu Office.

First of all, the Shaofu Office lacks talents.

Look at these documents sorting work, or do it by withdrawing a group of doctoral students who are not as nervous as teaching tasks from Imperial College.

Even if the doctors are willing to make selfless contributions, we cannot let them take on both positions, right?

At least I have to find someone to take over the doctoral job in IUC!

In addition, the roads in each county are not well built, there are not enough post stations, there are too few post horses, and there are not enough postmen who need to send letters. If there is enough manpower, the mansion will be reported for one tenth and one period, which will be more timely and more valuable for reference!

So, when will the court give some people?

High-end talents are available, and those who run errands can do it, but prisoners who can only be used to build roads and bridges. As long as they are people, we all lack them.

Many people's expressions looked a little constipated after hearing Fusu's very sincere words.

This kid is addicted to people, right?!

Now it is obviously not the time to do such things, Ying Zheng mercilessly replied to Fusu, "I'll discuss it later."

Fusu shut up obediently.

Anyway, he speaks first, and he must have someone when he arrives later!

Fusu was not very depressed. After going to court, he heard that Huai Cai had sent wax back, so he immediately summoned people to start researching the mass production plan for candles.

The author has something to say:

Fu Xiaosu: I speak first, everyone belongs to me!

Ying Zheng: Something makes sense

Civil and military officials:guna!!!
