In the Shangyuan fire case, Ying Tianfu Ya found out that the lantern was accidentally broken and caused by the water, and Zhu Di punished the relevant person in charge, so he did not continue the investigation.

At the beginning of the New Year, after the ceremony, Zhu Di sent an edict to the world that the Ming Dynasty had passed 35 years of Hongwu and entered the first year of Yongle.

There was no wind, no rain and no sunshine, the eldest princess of Nankang happily took back the horse Huguan, the family was reunited, and the famous princess happily sent her son Li Zhuang to the country.

Empress Xu never left Xiao Baoqing.

Xiao Baoqing will muttered in front of Queen Xu if he has nothing to do, sister-in-law, when will you bring dusk into the palace, he said it himself, he wants to be my little eunuch.

Empress Xu smiled.

Sister-in-law, don't make trouble for your sister-in-law, you can't be a eunuch at dusk, and your sister-in-law is still looking at him marrying Miao Jin early.

Nothing has changed.

The Shangyuan fire case was over.

But only Dao Yan knew that Zhu Di slowly pulled out the guillotine and waited for it to fall.

A lot of people will die that day.

Dusk also knew what Zhu Di was doing.

He wants to stop the melon vine from copying and save some people, also to save Daming.

Zhu Yunwen's life and death are uncertain, and after Zhu Di's family dies, the country is handed over to Zhu Wengui, who is still wearing open crotch pants?

Da Ming is afraid that he will kneel.

Dusk's injuries have finally healed, he has been a little lazy recently, he has fame, he lacks motivation for the imperial examination, he has self-knowledge, and he can't win the group of talents in the second year of Yongle.

It's better to start a business happily.

Started experimenting with making body washes and lotions.

To make aloe vera shower gel, the materials needed are ammonium lauryl sulfate, ammonium aliphatic alcohol ethoxyethylene ether sulfate, betaine, aloe vera extract, panthenol, antipruritic, silicone oil, citric acid, pearlescent pulp, flavor, pigment, preservative, deionized water, etc.

Limited by knowledge and the times, materials such as ammonium dodecyl sulfate could not be obtained at dusk.

Aloe vera is there, after Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, aloe vera appeared in China, in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasty's "Treatise on Medicinal Properties", "aloe will ...... Kill children's chancre rounds, blow the nose to kill encephalopathy, and remove nasal itching". It is mentioned in the "Sea Medicine Materia Medica" of the Tang Dynasty and the "Kaibao Materia Medica" of the Song Dynasty.

Dusk and Wu Youbi walked around Yingtianfu a few times, and found that someone planted and bought a lot.

Enough for the time being.

The main direction is to improve through soap, the process is probably to make soap, add an appropriate amount of water, stir and heat, pour in an appropriate amount of aloe vera extract, continue to stir and heat, and then cool, add glycerin, flavor, and essential oil.

The thickener is xanthan gum obtained by fermentation of corn starch.

Antipruritic, aloe vera extract can achieve the effect.

Pigment......

Various anthocyanins can be considered.

Preservatives, deionized water, etc.

Following this process and raw materials, you can make a simple version of the shower gel.

Lotions are simpler, but like body washes, they require an indispensable key ingredient: glycerin, and one optional material: essential oils.

The chemical name of glycerin is glycerol, the process is simple, put lard and vegetable oil into a beaker, heat it with distilled water, then add caustic soda, boil it over low heat and stir it from time to time.

In fact, it is the process of making soap.

After cooling, there will be delamination, solidification is soap, the remaining liquid is a mixture of glycerin and caustic soda water, vinegar is poured into the mixture, caustic soda is neutralized with acetic acid, and then sodium acetate is separated by recrystallization, and finally water is removed with quicklime.

So you get glycerin.

It is not difficult to obtain essential oils, using the flowers, leaves, stems, roots or fruits of plants, through steam distillation, extrusion, cold soak or solvent extraction to extract volatile aromatic substances.

It's easy to say, but in fact, you need to keep groping, after all, dusk is not clear about the material ratio.

While exploring the process, Dusk first found the contractor and asked the other party to redecorate Wu Pu's yard within ten days and make a separate laboratory.

During this period, I went to find a porcelain kiln outside Yingtian City, customized a large number of experimental porcelain, and customized exquisite small porcelain bottles.

Packaging is important.

If the shower gel and lotion made are directly filled with vases or something, they don't have the appearance of luxury goods.

One more important thing.

Experimental flasks.

The glass basin sent by Xu Miaojin could not meet the needs of industry, and a large number of flasks were needed at dusk - this was not necessarily the case in the West in the 15th century.

You have to make your own.

During the Song and Yuan dynasties, glass could be made, but the craftsmanship was too poor and would break when heated, so Dusk needed a workshop to make glass, and then improve the process.

It's also an entrepreneurial project.

Once the glass process is at a sufficient level to be able to produce colorless glass in large quantities, the profits will go beyond shower gels and lotions, but this project will require having its own glass workshop.

I remember that Wu and Bi said that the aunt's maiden family next door has a glass workshop outside the city.

Acquisitions may be considered.

Flask production is really not difficult.

Improve the process to produce high-temperature resistant colorless glass, and then make a flask template, or directly find a skilled glass master to blow out various styles of flasks.

Since there is no such thing as this, the only way to do this is to improve the process of experimenting with flasks or to replace it with porcelain.

This is a complex and tedious but great entrepreneurial project.

If it continues to develop, it is very likely to form a complete set of industries!

When the laboratory was completed and the porcelain was in place, Dusk plunged into it, and after day and night experiments, Wu Youbi was his solid logistical support, Wu Pu had no opinion on this, so he had to toss his yard at dusk.

Walking dizzily on the road to the industrial Daming at dusk.

The Ming Dynasty is quietly changing, at a great court meeting, Li Zhigang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said that Beiping is the emperor's "land of dragon rejuvenation", and should follow the Ming Taizu's approach to Fengyang, Henan, and set up as the accompanying capital.

As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar.

Because there are precedents to follow.

In the first year of Hongwu, Taizu issued an edict to Bianliang as Beiping, Jinling as Nanjing, following the story of Jingping in the Zhou and Tang dynasties, and in the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Taizu built the capital in his hometown of Fengyang, Anhui Province, and at the same time ordered to immigrate from the south of the Yangtze River. But Kaifeng and Fengyang are war-torn for a long time, dilapidated, difficult to bear the heavy responsibility of the Beijing Division, Taizu gave up the plan to move the capital to these two places, Hongwu 11 years, dismissed Beiping, changed Nanjing to the Beijing Division.

Now that Li Zhigang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, proposed to set up Beiping as the accompanying capital, did he want to shoot Zhu Di's sycophants, or was he instructed by Zhu Di?

This is important.

If it's the former, it's just a companion.

If it is the latter, it means that Zhu Di wants to move the capital!

Zhu Di did not immediately express his position and said that he would discuss it again.

A few days later, in addition to Li Zhigang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, there were also several court bigwigs, including Jianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and others, who "repeatedly" proposed to set up Beiping to be accompanied by the capital, and Zhu Di saw that everyone was so insistent, so he had to "reluctantly make it difficult" to decide.

Changed Beiping to Shuntianfu, called "Xingzai".

However......

There was constant opposition from both the government and the opposition.
