"Honey, hurry up, go to the dock!"

In the Zhu family courtyard, Zhu Zhengfeng ran to Zhu Hongping with sweat.

"What a moral character?"

Zhu Hongping was not in a good mood at all, so Zhu Zhengfeng hit the gun.

"Sea monster, Qin Xiedao has captured the sea monster. Now countless people are heading towards the Weishui Wharf, wanting to see the true appearance of the sea monster."

As soon as Zhu Zhengfeng said this, Zhu Hongping immediately couldn't sit still.

"Sea Monster? Did our fishing team encounter a sea monster?"

He was asking, but his feet didn't stop at all.

Zhu Hongping walked directly outside.

However, when he arrived at Mingzhou Wharf, there were already people surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

With the help of the guards, Zhu Hongping was squeezed in front of him.

Although I saw a huge monster on the dock from afar.

However, only by truly coming to the front, you can feel the size of the sea monster more.

"Qin Xiedao is too bold, right? He actually caught such a sea monster?"

"The boss, not only did they catch the sea monster, but they are also letting them dismember them.

If we come later, we will probably not be able to see a complete sea monster."

Zhu Zhengfeng pointed to the soldier who was holding a long knife to cut the flesh on the monster's body, and his feeling was very strange.

"I saw that the people around me called this sea monster a whale. Could it be that this is also a kind of fish?"

Zhu Hongping's ears were quite good, and soon I heard many people calling "whales" and "whales".

"It looks a little like a fish, but I have never seen such a fish before.

Qin Dalang captured it back, probably the first name he named it.

Actually, if you ask me, it would be more appropriate to call it "Kun" or "Kunyu".

Obviously, Zhu Zhengfeng thought of "There is a fish in Beiming, whose name is Kun. Kun is so big that it is thousands of miles..."

"Whether Kun or whales are not real sea monsters, it will not affect our fleet going to sea to fish."

At this moment, Zhu Hongping was in a good mood.

Finally found a new way to make money, and finally I can continue.

"Our boss, this whale meat costs one cent per pound, and you can start buying it now. Should we buy some?"

Such a big whale will soon become stinky if it is not processed in such hot weather.

However, Qin Xiedao did not give away free this time.

Some things can only be more valuable if they spend money.

"A penny per pound is cheap enough! If it is usually done, even if it costs 100 penny per pound, many people would want to try it.

You will buy a few hundred kilograms later and let everyone in the mansion try the taste of this whale meat tonight."

When you feel good, you will naturally be generous when you take action.

Zhu Hongping rarely seeks some benefits for his servants in his house.

...

"Mr. Langjun, I made more than ten cents of money by selling whale meat today. The remaining oil was taken to refine the oil as you told me.

What a guy, the entire Mingzhou Pier is shrouded in a fragrance.”

Ma Zhou was in a good mood today.

Qin Xiedao previously said that the whaling industry would be a new industry, and he didn't feel anything yet.

But now I just brought back a whale and felt the difference.

"The sale of whale meat is only the most common aspect, and whale oil is the most valuable.

The Tang Dynasty today, even in Chang'an City, is pitch black everywhere at night.

Even wealthy families are reluctant to use a lot of butter candles and whale oil candles, and Daxing Palace is no exception.

This is because these candles are too expensive.

But with whale oil candles, the situation is no longer needed.

You should have a concept now on how much whale oil a whale can produce.

How many candles can these whale oils make?

Although ordinary people probably wouldn't be willing to use whale oil candles at home, it would be a big problem to prepare one or two emergency candles.

As for wealthy families, they can basically be used with them.

The nights in Chang'an City will not be pitch black everywhere."

Before the appearance of kerosene lamps and electric lamps, whale oil lamps were once the most important lighting lamps in the world.

It is conceivable how important whale oil is.

Qin Xiedao will lead a team to go out to sea to catch whales this time, and in the next period of time, he will also prepare to go out to sea to familiarize himself to make everyone familiar with how to catch whales.

By then, the Whale Oil Candle Workshop and the Whale Oil Dried Workshop will be almost completed, so he can consider returning to Beijing.

"It's true! This whale produces more whale oil candles than hundreds of beefs.

This is really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty.”

Ma Zhou himself is also a scholar, and is obviously more sensitive to night lighting.

The long night is so long, it's so hard to endure.

Especially in winter, it will be dark at four or five o'clock, and it will take until seven or eight o'clock to get bright.

For such a long time, it is not possible to just sleep.

...

Mingzhou Pier has returned to its former liveliness.

Since the sea monster has been proven to be a whale, everyone had eaten whale meat in person yesterday, so naturally there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Did that Qin Langjun still take his fleet to sea to hunt whales today?"

When Xie entered the dock, Qin Xiedao and his group had already left the dock.

"Yes! I set out early. I heard from them that I seemed to be planning to catch two whales today. I don't know if it will be so smooth."

Wang Zhiming naturally knew what his envoy was concerned about, so he inquired about the news in advance.

Sure enough, people who can work around their leaders have some tricks.

"If this whaling can continue, it will be more meaningful than fishing.

If there are too many of those sea fishes, I don’t know how to deal with them for a while.

Even if it is used for smoke, it cannot be smoked.

But whales are different. I watched the whole process yesterday. The whale meat is only part of it, but most of it is thick oil, and all of it is used for refining oil.

It is said that these whale oils will be used to process them into whale oil candles in the next step, and this meaning will be different immediately."

Xie Jin naturally knew the future of whale oil candles.

Not to mention how low its cost is, or whether it is effective or not.

The huge supply alone is of great significance to the Tang Dynasty.

By then, the price will be one major lower than that of butter candles. I guess the entire Tang Dynasty merchants will want to come to Mingzhou to purchase goods.

What will accompany it will be the prosperity of all walks of life in Mingzhou City.

This is really a great thing for Xie Jin.
