Chapter 47 Basics of Chemistry
Qingzhou City, Wang Family.
Wang Chengchou and Sun Yuanzhi sat opposite each other in the main hall, and Wang Shijie sat down at the bottom.
Since Wang Chengchou went to the Qi Wang Mansion, Sun Yuanzhi has been waiting for news at the Wang family. Now that Wang Chengchou has returned, he briefly told the story of the Qi Wang Mansion. He slowly said: "Brother Wang, this time is really thrilling. Your Highness did not punish the Wang family, which shows that he still values the Wang family in his heart."
"Hmph, that's of course. In the past five years, my Wang family has spent so much money on him, King Qi, and King Qi will always be nostalgic. However, I can't figure out the pulse of King Qi now. This time, the matter can only be said to be a lucky person." Wang Chengchou was still scared.
"Yes, Your Highness King Qi seems to be quite like a wise king now, and this is closer to Pang Changzhi, and I don't know why?" Like everyone else, Sun Yuanzhi was also confused.
Wang Chengchou frowned, "The change in Qi King is so big, I guess it is related to the last assassination. I am afraid that the King of Qi deeply experienced the dangers of the battle for the throne last time, and now he has to accumulate strength to defend himself."
"Well, the prince's words are reasonable. The King of Wei in the south was as stupid as the King of Qi back then. He also understood the danger he was in during the battle for the throne and changed his mind. Now the King of Wei's fief is rarely rich." Sun Yuanzhi said.
"That's right, so King Qi is probably the same as King Wei back then." Wang Chengchou frowned, "But in this way, King Qi cannot be at our mercy. We have to look at his expression."
"This is also impossible. Now the Qin family and the Wei family are staring at us like dogs staring at bones. They are our opponents." Sun Yuanzhi said.
Wang Chengchou nodded and sighed, "Oh, forgot, forgot, now the situation has changed drastically, and we must also act according to the times. By the way, when Qin Chuanyun returns, he will inevitably please Your Highness because of this private salt sale. We cannot be at a disadvantage. I think you and my family donate 500 oxen each?"
Sun Yuanzhi said: "It's okay to have five hundred oxen plowing oxen, as long as it can suppress the Qin and Wei families."
"Dad, isn't this a little bit too? I heard from Your Highness's words, and it seems that you have a profitable life in your hands. But Your Highness is vague. He is still hesitating whether to give it to the Qin family." Wang Shijie interrupted.
Wang Chengchou was anxious to explain the hiding of the ox, but he didn't care about what Wang Shijie said. He asked at this time: "Your Highness really said this."
"Take it seriously, Your Highness also said that this is a very powerful thing, no worse than Zui Qingzhou." Wang Shijie affirmed.
Sun Yuanzhi's eyes turned around. Now the obvious benefits have been left to the Wang family and the Qin family. Although he and the Wang family are in-laws, who doesn't want this benefit to fall on their heads. He said: "Brother Wang, since that's the case, we must seize the opportunity this time. I am willing to produce a thousand oxen alone, but if I get the benefits, Brother Wang, don't forget our Sun family."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Wang Chengchou said in surprise. Most of the Wang family's plowing oxen were sent to the government, but there were not many plowing oxen left in his hand. Now the Sun family took out the plowing ox alone, so he was naturally happy.
The two of them discussed it and asked Wang Shijie to take the message to the Qi Palace.
When Wang Shijie arrived at the Qi Palace, he accidentally saw Qin Chuanyun just left the palace. He frowned and asked the servants to inform him. After receiving the approval, he went directly to the main hall.
In the main hall, Xiao Ming was holding a piece of paper with a smile on his face.
When Wang Shijie arrived at the main hall, he couldn't help but ask: "When is Your Highness so happy?"
Xiao Ming shook the paper in front of Wang Shijie and said, "In order to support my king's military farming method, each family gave five hundred oxen to me. They are really loyal people."
Wang Shijie said contemptuously: "Your Highness, what's this? My foolish brother came here to support Your Highness's farming law. Our Wang family not only sent the remaining oxen to the government, but also gave His Highness 1,500 oxen to the Sun family."
Xiao Ming pretended to be surprised, "Brother Wang, this matter is serious."
"Your Highness, how dare I deceive Your Highness? This is a contract. Please see your highness." Wang Shijie took out a piece of silk cloth, which recorded the donation text of 1,500 plowing oxen.
"Wang Yuanwai, Sun Yuanwai is a generous man, and it is not in vain that I value you two families so much." Xiao Ming said in surprise.
This time he was really happy. Two thousand five hundred oxen were used by ten households, which was enough for 25,000 households to use.
More than one million households in the six states, plus the oxen purchased by Aster, rented by wealthy families and wealthy households in each state, the production team's production model can basically achieve most of the production model.
Wang Shijie was proud of his heart. After all, the Qin family and the Wei family were not as good as their two families. When he remembered the important matters of this trip, he couldn't help but ask carefully: "By the way, Your Highness, you said today that there was something new, and I don't know what it was?"
Xiao Ming put away the contract and he was in a good mood. He said, "This thing is called soap, which is equivalent to pancreatic sap. Do you understand?"
"I still know that I have the honor to have used it for a while," Wang Shijie recalled.
Xiao Ming nodded. In the Great Yu Kingdom, some people have used pig pancreas to make pancreas for bathing, which is the primary version of soap. However, this pancreas is very difficult to produce, and generally only concubines in the palace can use it.
Moreover, the pig pancreas used in this pancreas and mixed with wood ash, making it dark and unsightly.
This time, Xiao Ming wanted to make soap because he found limestone. Because he found limestone, he could make soda ash. Only soda ash can produce soda in large quantities.
At the same time, he also wanted to build a chemical system.
Although steel can change an era, without chemistry, the steel era cannot be continuously upgraded, because future alloys, converter steelmaking, and even shipbuilding will gradually require the chemical industry.
Using this soap production, he will cultivate a group of chemistry talents to develop in a balanced manner in all aspects.
"This soap is even more powerful than pancreatic sap. As long as it is shipped to Chang'an City, there is no need to worry about the nobles not buying it." Xiao Ming continued.
Wang Shijie was excited. The manufacturing of pancreatic sap was a secret thing. Many merchants wanted to do pancreatic sap business, but they couldn't produce them at all.
"Your Highness, you can't get any more affordable to the Qin family this time. Look, we have 500 more plowing oxes than them, which shows the sincerity of our Wang family." Wang Shijie said.
Xiao Ming nodded, "Don't worry, I know what I know. I'll leave this soap to your Wang family, but there is one, you have to provide oil to me."
"Oil? What oil?" Wang Shijie was stunned.
In the country of Dayu, there are pancreatic saps, but no one knows that meat oil and vegetable oil can be used to make soap. They only believe that pig pancreatic sap can make pancreatic sap, which greatly limits the production of soap.
Of course there is another thing, that is soda ash. Now Xiao Ming naturally cannot get soda ash by electrolyzing brine, but the native method can still be used, which is why he solemnly searched for limestone.
