Zhang Cai once offended too many people, so now the more Marin humiliates him, the safer he will be. On the contrary, the more he is used, the more dangerous he will be.
Of course, this is about things within the Ming Dynasty. When it comes to Taiwan Island, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the ministers can’t reach their hands on Dongfan Island.
In addition, as time goes by, everyone will gradually forget Zhang Cai, a person who has withdrawn from the historical stage. After Zhang Cai left, Zhang Cai's wives and concubines Wu and Wang, as well as his two sons Zhang Jiafu and Zhang Jiarui, were also sent to the Huitong Hall where Ma Lin was located as family slaves.
Originally, Zhang Cai sent Wu and Zhang Jiafu, whom he had sent to his parents' home to hide it, while Wang planned to take it back to his hometown and hide it in the Wang family in his hometown.
But now that he has received Marin's guarantee, Zhang Cai sent his two old wives and two sons to the Huitong Hall to Marin to be the current one.
Because of the eyeliner of the ministers in the court, Malin summoned Zhang Cai's wife and children to explain the situation, and could only temporarily aggrieved them - Zhang Cai's two old wives were temporarily used as servants for washing clothes by Malin. Zhang Cai's two sons temporarily became inferior servants like 9527, responsible for cleaning...
But in fact, whether it was Zhang Cai himself or Zhang Cai's wife and children, Ma Lin arranged for people to protect them secretly to avoid being murdered.
...
On the other hand, perfume quickly became famous in the capital through Li Qing'er's hard promotion. However, Marin was deeply acquainted with the essence of "hunger marketing" and said that he really didn't bring much perfume this time. Moreover, it was difficult to create perfume, especially the collection of fragrances in flowers... So, let's wait two years before buying them...
As of now, only Li Qing'er and others won the rose-flavored perfume. In addition, the nobles in the palace, led by Queen Mother Zhang, received a batch of lavender-shaped perfumes.
Strangely, some eunuchs in the palace also seem to favor perfume and like to apply perfume.
"No, eunuchs are different from feminine gay guys..."
Like the one described in the TV series, Dongfang Bubai likes men after he castrated himself. The eunuchs were actually castrated physically, but they were still close to men in spirit. At most, they were a little sharp and distorted in character, but they were not too feminine. After all, too feminine would never be accepted by the world in ancient times.
After inquiring, Malin learned that because of the backward castration technology in ancient times and the lack of alcohol disinfection, many eunuchs were "not clean" when castrated, which led to many eunuchs having some urinary diseases and always had some urine smell. Therefore, they needed perfume to cover the odor more than women.
You should know that it is difficult to be favored by noble people if they have a strange smell, so they can only do some dirty and tiring work. After all, the emperor and concubines will not like a eunuch who tastes strangely by their bodies to serve them. Therefore, these people's desire for perfume is stronger than that of women. Even what perfume brings to them is a normal hope...
In fact, some of the more powerful eunuchs have more or less urology diseases and their odors are a little abnormal. Moreover, they also use aromatic things to cover the odors on their bodies. For example, sandalwood and agarwood...
Marin also noticed that some eunuchs had a heavier sandalwood smell. But in fact, that was just to cover up the abnormal smell of the eunuch himself.
However, sandalwood and agarwood are expensive, but the effect is average. After all, those sandalwood and agarwood are both raw materials, while perfumes use essence extracted from fragrance raw materials. The concentration is very different, so the effect is naturally much more powerful. Therefore, those eunuchs, especially those with odors, are very fond of the perfume brought by Marin and book them one after another.
Marin was unwilling to offend these eunuchs who were timid, so he agreed and promised to give them priority. Otherwise, if any of them was developed, it would be easy to find fault...
...
The eunuch hasn't come to find fault yet, but Zhengde comes to find fault himself...
In the martial arts performance, Zhengde caught Malin who was watching the fun on the side and asked:
"Ma Aiqing, why is the quality of the plate armor made by my Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Industry not as good as the batch of plate armor you sent?"
Marinxin said, can it be the same? The steel I used to build plate armor on my side is secondary refined steel. When the Ming Dynasty Works Department and the Military Bureau built plate armor, they used brittle northern pig iron with a high thiophosphate content, which would be strange if the quality was the same.
To solve the problem of excessive sulfur and phosphorus content in the northern Ming Dynasty, it can be easily solved by adding quicklime and refining it again...
However, this is the largest industrial secret of the Beihai Kingdom, so Marin naturally would not tell the Ming Dynasty people easily. As long as he mastered this technology, cast iron cannons and other things would be pediatrics. Therefore, Marin did not want to disclose this technology.
However, he changed his approach to solve the material problem:
"Your Majesty might as well try better quality Fujian and Guangzhou Iron and Telecom?"
Hu Jian and Guangdong have many mountains and forests, and charcoal is often used for smelting iron. Therefore, Fujian iron and Guangzhou iron have low sulfur and phosphorus content, and are one of the best quality pig iron among the Ming Dynasty. Generally speaking, the Ministry of Industry will only mobilize Fujian iron and Guangzhou iron for use only if it casts cannons. However, plate armor is a few things worn by elites and is of high importance, so it is no problem to use Fujian iron and Guangzhou iron.
Therefore, Zhengde immediately went back to organize craftsmen and once again used the high-priced Fujian and Guangzhou Iron and Railway to build a batch of new plate armor. However, the quality seemed to be much worse.
So, Malin found three Beihai craftsmen who were responsible for teaching the Ming Dynasty craftsmen's plate armor creation techniques and asked why. The three craftsmen told the truth...
It turned out that the leader of the Ming Dynasty craftsman who was responsible for learning the construction of plate armor in the Ming Dynasty was a person who believed in hot forging. Because hot forging can knock out the impurities in pig iron by repeatedly pounding it out to obtain real fine iron.
Moreover, the cold forging method mentioned by Beihai National craftsmen requires the establishment of a heavy and heavy hydraulic forging hammer. This requires finding a waterfall to build a hydraulic forging hammer, or spending a large amount of money to build a reservoir to drive the hydraulic forging hammer...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Ming Dynasty craftsmen who were responsible for learning the construction of plate armor were troublesome and tried to save trouble, so they saved the step of cold forging with hydraulic forging hammers...
However, cold forging of plate armor is an important guarantee of quality. Without cold forging, the quality of plate armor will be difficult to meet the standards. Therefore, plate armor made by saving the cold forging steps will naturally be unqualified.
In fact, the problem of troublesomeness and saving troubles is still common in later generations of China. Many Chinese workers in later generations pursue production speed when manufacturing products. Often, some seemingly simple but very important links are artificially ignored or skipped. Then, Chinese Manufacturing became synonymous with low-end. In fact, the difference between Chinese Manufacturing and high-quality products is often not technology, but rigorous. The reason why German Manufacturing can become the world's number one is because of the perverted rigor of Germans, not how smart they are. The requirements for industrial production of the Japanese are also very strict, and Japanese workers are also very obedient, so the quality is OK. Only Chinese workers, who are always smart and opportunistic, have broken the product quality and become synonymous with low-end...
In his previous life, Malin worked in a factory and conducted short-term quality inspections. As a result, he carefully controlled the quality of the product and was accused by the workers of finding faults and thinking hard... At that time, when Malin was inspecting a process, 60% of the products failed...
But the result was that Marin was scolded by the workshop director, rather than the shoddy workers being blamed...
So, Malin left the factory in anger, feeling that the kind of factory that does not value quality has no future. But later, Malin learned that most factories in China are of the same moral character. It’s not that Chinese people cannot make good things, but that some people don’t want to make things well... Sorry, I’m wrong, it’s not that some people, but many people, including workers and the management of the factory. They only pursue output and don’t care about quality at all.
By the way, the factory where Marin was staying was the core components of the vehicle. Maybe one day, due to quality reasons, a person would die. So Marin left the factory without hesitation because he did not want to be the murderer who indirectly killed others...
...
Malin sighed and told the reason why the Ming craftsmen could not produce qualified plate armor. Zhengde was furious and ordered the craftsman leader who could not remove important steps without authorization. After all, plate armor was related to the outcome of the future war, and the craftsman leader was actually worthy of death.
However, the construction of hydraulic forging hammers has become a difficult problem. Because there seems to be no waterfalls for building hydraulic forging hammers on the North China Plain...
"Or why not, go to the Hukou Waterfall in the Yellow River to build a hydraulic forging hammer?" Marin suggested.
"That's at the junction of Shanxi Province and Shaanxi Province, very far from the capital..." Zhengde hesitated.
"But it is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"
