Chapter 028: Love
"Xianggong, you are the Duke of Tao Zhu!"
Seeing the items and price list in front of him, Ma Kuo couldn't help but be dumbfounded. There is no more profitable thing in the world than this glass business.
He picked up something that had been marked with a scale in the shape of a glass tube, and asked suspiciously, "Wang Xianggong, what is this, and why is it so strangely shaped?"
"This is called a thermometer, also known as a cold and heat meter, which can not only measure the outside temperature, but also measure the body temperature of our human body."
He smiled and said, "For example, the normal temperature of the human body is 36-37 degrees. If someone has a fever, we can use him to measure, if it is higher than 37 degrees, it means that the person may have a fever, that is, fever, fever, you need to see Langzhong. ”
Ma Kuo was skeptical, shook his head and said: "If this thing is used in the army, the soldiers have a headache and brain fever, but it can be used for testing." Xiang Gong is extremely clever enough to come up with the idea of making such a thing. ”
Deng Shixiong smiled: "This kind of thing is not cheap. In the city of Tokyo, one can be sold for 10 yen, and there are still many buyers. Those rich businessmen, dignitaries and nobles, everyone has at least one in their family. ”
Wang Song smiled slightly. Such a mercury thermometer looks complicated, but in fact it is very simple to make. A glass bubble containing mercury, a capillary glass tube with a scale and temperature scale on it, is sufficient.
As for the temperature, it is also very easy to determine, the ice water mixture is 0 degrees, and the boiling water is 100 degrees, so the temperature range is defined.
"Xianggong, what are these strange things of yours, you can't drink soup or tea, they look quite weird, to the point that they look a little like the cold and summer table just now."
Ma Kuo picked up a test tube, looked at it like a curious baby, and looked at it.
"Ma Xuanzan, this is my personal experimental supplies now, and it will be of great use in the future."
As a university undergraduate majoring in chemistry, Wang Song wants to have his own private chemistry laboratory, and the basic glass instruments such as test tubes and beakers are naturally in full condition.
"Xianggong asked for this alum oil to do a lot, and put it in a jar and sealed it."
Ma Kuo pointed to the sealed dark glass jars and asked suspiciously.
"Ma Xuanzan is well-informed, and he also knows alum oil."
Wang Song praised the experienced assistant at a glance, if this is placed in the future generations, a proper science and engineering man, as a so-called expert, it should not be a problem.
It's a pity that in this era, you can only dance with knives and guns in this life.
Alum oil is sulfuric acid, which is alum, that is, obtained by calcining alum, so it is called "alum oil".
The main component of natural alum is ferrous sulfate, which is sealed and calcined, and there is sulfur trioxide in the product, which is dissolved in water and becomes sulfuric acid.
The same is true for nitric acid in the lab. Salt nitrate is filtered, purified, and calcined to produce nitrogen dioxide, which is dissolved in water to become nitric acid.
Sulfuric acid is formed by reacting with a saline solution.
As for those white solutions of calcium hydroxide, it's easier. Marble is calcined to produce quicklime, quicklime is dissolved in water, filtered, precipitated, and the clear aqueous solution is calcium hydroxide solution.
Calcium hydroxide solution is mixed with alkali solution to obtain caustic soda. The three acids and two alkalis in the industry are basically complete.
Of course, this is only the experimental aspect, and it will take some time and process to achieve large-scale production.
"Brother Lin, on the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, the things made by the iron factory have always been directly transported to the army, how can you ask the court for silver taels?"
Yue Fei put down the teacup and looked at the things in the "office", this was the first time he had come to this place.
In the past, the firearms supply of the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army was sent to the army by Lin Tianyou, so that the technology would not be leaked.
In history, there were countless officials in the Great Song Dynasty who were incorruptible and shameless, and had no integrity: Qin Hui, Du Chong, Liu Yu, Wang Shiyong, if the firearms technology fell into the hands of these people, it would be tantamount to a disaster for the entire nation.
Yue Fei also had mixed feelings in his heart. If Wang Song is still there, why do you need him to show up and beg bitterly. It's like selling your house to someone else, going back and getting something you have forgotten, but you have to explain it to the new owner in every way, it's really awkward.
"Two ministers, you are talking about the past, not the present."
Lin Tianyou added tea to the two, sat back in his place, and said with a slight smile: "In the past, the prince provided it free of charge, because he was selfless and cared for the court. Now that Wang Xianggong is not here, he naturally has to collect silver taels, otherwise how can this iron factory be operated?"
Zhang Jun frowned, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "General Lin, the northern captives are rampant, the king is retreating one after another, and all roads are rotten. The imperial court is in danger and needs a large number of firearms to go to support, but you are making things difficult here, are you really not afraid that the army will come and raze this place to the ground? ”
Lin Tianyou changed color and said angrily: "This is a private property, not an official camp of the imperial court. If the imperial court sent a large army, how different would it be from a robber? ”
Zhang Jun was furious, slapped the table, and became angry.
"You are limited to three days, and all the firearms you need are transported to the army, otherwise you will blame the officers for being ruthless, and the soldiers will meet each other! I also tell you, except for silver taels and grain exchange, otherwise don't think about it! The two of you, please, will not be far away!"
"Zhang Xianggong, if it weren't for the fact that you are not bad to the brothers of the loyal army, I would have swept you out of the house a long time ago!"
Lin Tianyou suddenly changed color and resolutely ordered the expulsion.
Zhang Jun's face turned blue and walked away. Yue Fei shook his head and followed closely.
Wang Song came out of the back hall, and Lin Tianyou stepped forward and said, "Big official, I don't know if the villain's move is inappropriate?"
Wang Song nodded and said coldly: "Well done!" These scholars really regard this place as their own backyard, and they can come whenever they want! This official has saved a huge amount of silver for the imperial court before, can't he take out some of it? Meet each other, give them a dog guts! ”
Historically, the Jurchens received 607,700 ingots of gold and 2,583,100 ingots of silver. Wang Song relieved the siege of Bianjing, with an annual tribute of 200,000 taels, but because of the long-term war of the Song and Jin, he did not even hand over 100,000 taels.
Now, when these scholars and doctors came, they even wanted to empty their gloves and white wolves, how could there be such a good thing in the world!
I really thought it was the same as before!
"Great official, if the imperial court really sends a large army to attack, what should it do?"
Lin Tianyou was young after all, and he was still a little uneasy in his heart.
"When the army comes to attack, this official will never show mercy!"
Wang Song sneered, and the coldness in his eyes made Lin Tianyou shudder.
"Not to mention whether Zhang Jun dares or not, whether he has this right or not, that is, the imperial army comes, and if he doesn't leave forty or fifty thousand horses here, don't even think about it!"
Lin Tianyou said in frustration: "I'm afraid that we will cut off our financial route!"
Wang Song shook his head and said: "God bless, you are a good hand at thinking things, but you don't understand the world." The Song army would then send silver taels. Zong Ze is not Zhang Jun, he is not the master of forcible seizure, he knows how to weigh the pros and cons. Besides, he is not afraid of urgency, you and I will take refuge in Jinren?"
Lin Tianyou relieved his heart slightly, and then said softly: "Big official, when I was chatting with Brother Yue Fei just now, he said some things, I don't know if the villain should say it?"
Wang Song nodded and said softly: "It's news about Fanzi's southward journey, but it's okay to say it."
"The big official, Brother Yue said, the Jurchens attacked the city, and many "traitors" surrendered to the enemy. Huainan recruited Li Cheng, the prefect of Jinan Prefecture, Liu Yu, these people have reduced their gold, the Jin people are in full swing, maybe they will soon send troops to Bianjing, and the Great Song Dynasty is in danger!"
Liu Yu, the puppet emperor of Qi supported by the Jin people in history; Li Cheng, the brave and strong general of the Song people, the vanguard of the Jin people, there is not much difference in history, and the two of them became "traitors" almost at the same time.
"Anything else?"
Wang Song asked while looking at the artillery displayed in the room.
"Big official, this matter is related to you, Deng Shixiong won't let him say it, and the villain doesn't know whether to talk about it?"
Lin Tianyou's still immature face showed a hint of hesitation.
"What's wrong with you today, you can't talk about it."
Wang Song smiled: "Could it be that I am a tyrant, I will kill people at every turn, come quickly!"
Lin Tianyou said in a low voice: "Xianggong, the news from the court, the Emperor Taishang promised Princess Roufu to Huang Qianshan, the only son of Huang Qianshan, the new governor of Zhaozhou, and I heard that the marriage will be completed soon."
Wang Song was stunned for a moment, an inexplicable tingling pain in his heart, and his face turned white.
History has departed from the original trajectory, and Huang Qianshan, the favorite minister of Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong in history, has now become the governor of Zhaozhou. Song Huizong promised his daughter to Huang Qianshan's son, in addition to letting him deal with the Jurchens wholeheartedly on the front line, is there any other intention?
Rufu Princess Zhao Duofu, a beautiful misunderstanding, Bai Fumei and Dwarf Poor, after all, the door is not right.
Now, when I woke up from my dream, I saw through all kinds of helplessness and ugliness in the world.
Although he is chic and uninhibited, and he is both civil and military, he is just a poor person who does not enter the stream after all.
In the eyes of the relatives of the Tokyo City Emperor, famous families, and big turbans, he was born in a poor family, a martial arts dictatorship, rude and hateful, and was favored by the princess, which was simply insulting, powerful, and vulgar.
How can Lafite, Australian lobster, two-pot head, and stir-fried kidney flower coexist in harmony? Even if the Hanmen rise, they will not be able to become a nobleman born in Rome.
Just like he saved Bianliang City, the corpses of the loyal and righteous brothers are like mountains, the living are scarred, Zhao Jinfu, Zhao Kai and others are still in the bright lights, drunk and gold-obsessed, and they are still disdainful and sneering at them.
Aloof, selfish, inhumane, cruel and tyrannical, greedy and arrogant, these moths have long been accustomed to taking, and never half of their gratitude to the devotee.
Only these brothers who were kind-hearted to each other still gathered around him and never left him.
"God bless, did Deng Shixiong send the soldiers who were dispatched?"
Wang Song was silent for a moment and changed the subject.
"Xianggong, three thousand brothers have been sent over and are arranging for garrisons. Since learning that you were killed, many old brothers have been chilled, if it weren't for Deng Heimian sitting here, I'm afraid the team would have dispersed long ago!"
Wang Song nodded. Deng Shixiong did everything properly, which is why he let Deng Shixiong sit in the rear. Now it seems that Deng Shixiong really lives up to expectations.
"Say whatever you want!"
Seeing Lin Tianyou's squirming and spitting, Wang Song smiled and said, "Tianyou, what's wrong today, twisting and pinching, like a girl." We are all our own brothers, what else can't be said. ”
Lin Tianyou looked around and said in a low voice: "Daguan, the news of your death has spread somehow. A few days before the first day, the brothers sent things for the festival to the Li family, but the house was empty. Someone saw that Li and his family left Huangyazhai and went all the way south, probably to Bianjing City or to the south of the Yangtze River. ”
Wang Song smiled bitterly and shook his head, Master Li would never return to Bianliang City. Time has changed, but I didn't expect Master Li to still be unable to escape the historical cycle of leaving Henan and going south alone.
He came to this time and space, and the three women he once had in his life either had to become the guests of others, or quietly left after learning of his death, or empathized and became the wife of others.
In the first few years of the Great Song Dynasty, he lived so colorful and embarrassed. Now, everything has to start all over again, and this is also a part of life.
