The tyrant of the Great Zhou Dynasty starts by summoning a fierce general!

When Wang Meng heard this, he immediately spoke.

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true!" Wang

Meng is not a pedantic reader, and he also agrees with Lu Yao's Wang Meng.

And when the Son has worked so hard for the country and the people today, what face do these who are courtiers have to blame?

After getting Wang Meng's approval, Lu Yao was also a lot more relieved.

Lu Yao thought that Wang Meng would point to his nose and scold himself for not doing his job, but it seemed that he was too worried.

With Wang Meng's support, Lu Yao was even more energetic.

After removing the top layer of soap, pour the cloudy liquid in the middle into another basin.

Then add the molten brine to the turbid liquid and stir vigorously.

In a chemical reaction that Lu Yao was not clear about, these turbid liquids also began to gradually solidify.

Seeing such a scene, Wang Meng, Di Renjie, and Li Yuanfang were dumbfounded, and felt that Lu Yao was as if he was doing magic in front of them.

Lu Yao stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then looked at the condensed grease in the basin, and his heart was also very satisfied.

At this time, Lu Yao also really understood what it was, and there was a golden house in the book.

Right now, the soap-like stuff in this pot is called wax.

That's right, it's the wax of candles, and the current Da Zhou candle is a rare object.

Only dignitaries and dignitaries can use candles in their homes, and ordinary people use oil lamps.

The light is less than one-third of the candle.

Lu Yao pointed to the two pots of things in front of him with satisfaction.

"This one is soap, for cleaning. "

This one is lard wax, which is used for lighting.

Di Renjie walked up to Lu Yao and squatted down to take a closer look, it was obvious that Lu Yao's actions had touched his knowledge blind spots.

Lu Yao took out some lard wax and wrapped the cotton thread, and then lit it in front of Wang Meng and Di Renjie.

Even during the day, the burning candle still emits a bright yellow glow.

In terms of illumination, it is not inferior to the butter candles on the market, but in terms of price, it is more than a star and a half lower.

And now that the wax in Lu Yao's basin is enough to make hundreds of candles, Wang Meng couldn't help but start calculating the cost in his heart.

After some mental calculations, Wang Meng was surprised to find that the hidden profits were incredible.

And due to the popularity of castration technology, the price of lard is bound to continue to fall.

And the cost of soap and candles will naturally go down, and there must be a big market for things that can really make a lot of money.

The glass made by Lu Yao before was indeed very profitable, but there were very few people who could consume the glass.

But soap and lard candles are different, this is something that almost every household uses, how much money can be earned, Wang Meng can't imagine that with these two things alone, the military spending in the treasury will not be a problem in the future.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Meng's heart couldn't help but rejoice.

It is a blessing for them to have such a motivated monarch as a courtier.

At this time, there was still some sediment left in the iron pot, and Lu Yao vaguely remembered that this thing was also useful, but Lu Yao forgot the specific operation process, so he could only put it away for the time being.

Lu Yao asked Di Renjie.

"It's going to be an exam soon.

Di Renjie nodded, clasped his fists and bowed.

"Back to Your Majesty, the first test will be held in the Zhaoxian Museum in three days.

Lu Yao touched his chin and immediately spoke.

"This time, the scholars who came to participate in the imperial examination were each given three lard candles and a piece of soap. "

Although the people who came to participate in Lu Yao's imperial examination are all from poor families, Shinong businessmen and scholars will always be respected and noticed here.

Therefore, these people are all billboards where Lu Yao is alive, as long as they can recognize their own things, then they don't have to worry about no one buying them.

And with the help of their fame, Lu Yao can also advertise his own goods, and their benefits, Lu Yao has gained popularity, isn't this the best of both worlds.

I have to say that Lu Yao's wishful thinking is a snap.

After making the soap and candles, Lu Yao immediately ordered the palace maids to send them to Pei Ning, Xiao Yan'er, Yang Yanying, and Fan Lihua.

The four people who received Lu Yao's gift were very happy, especially Yang Yanying and Fan Lihua, these two did not live in the palace for a long time like Pei Ning and Xiao Yan'er, but practiced in the military camp for a long time, and it was inevitable that there would be some sweat smell on their bodies at the end of the day.

It's just that men have some taste, after all, no one will dislike anyone.

But the woman was different, and the woman was willing to smell of sweat all over her body.

Therefore, Lu Yao's soap can be regarded as the solution to the urgent needs of Yang Yanying and Fan Lihua.

At night, a restaurant in the capital is brightly lit.

This restaurant is full of poor students who came to participate in the imperial examination, and they all study at night when the exam is approaching.

In one room, a tall man sat at his desk, carefully reading the book in his hand by the faint light of an oil lamp.

A book has been worn to the point where the person still reads it with relish.

The faint candlelight reflected on this person's face, and if it was to be described in words, it would only be eight words, with a very great appearance, and no anger and self-authority.

A moment later, the door to the room opened, and a young man entered.

Seeing this person by the moonlight, the jade face and red lips, the eyebrows flew into the temples, and the eyes were like paint.

The young man walked to the table in the room with a food box in his hand and spoke.

"Big brother, in my opinion, you don't have to work so hard, how many people in this Jianwu Emperor's capital can be your opponents? Hearing

this, the tall man slowly closed the

book in his hand, turned his head and spoke.

"Guangyi should not underestimate the heroes of the world, you must know that there are people outside the world, I Zhao Kuangyin has studied hard for decades, and I just waited for this opportunity. "

This tall man is none other than Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, who came into the chaos of the system, and the white man is Zhao Guangyi, the Taizong of the Song Dynasty.

The identities of the two brothers who were transplanted by the system at this time were like Huang Chao, and they were generally scholars who came here to participate in the imperial examination.

Zhao Guangyi smiled and said.

"Big brother, if you take the first place in the exam, what kind of official will the emperor appoint you?"

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head when he heard this.

"I don't care what kind of official I am, I just want to be loyal to the country and work for the people. Zhao

Kuangyin's words are a little sincere, a little false, no one knows, no one knows.

In the night sky, a bright moon hung high in the same restaurant, and in another room, Huang Chao was also writing hard.

For these scholars, the examination room is like a battlefield, the winner is promoted to make a fortune, and the loser is smiling and generous.

The three-day period passed in a flash, and it was the day of the exam.

In front of the Zhaoxian Museum, there was a crowd of people.

Countless scholars are waiting for this moment to come.

In the crowd, Huang Chao, Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Guangyi also arrived as scheduled.
