"In such a situation, don't the princes above the court have a speech?" A young Xiucai stood impassionedly on top of a restaurant, surrounded by many scholars of similar age, all of whom were also angry.

At this time, the person who looked like a rich family who was sitting on the side shook his head and said: "Brother Wang doesn't know, it's not that no one dares to speak, but His Majesty makes them speechless." ”

Then this person stood up and shook his head and told the inside story that he knew, and it was the little bit of trouble that Fu Ningjiao, the head of the last court meeting: "...... It can be seen from this that if anyone wants to take care of this matter, he must first spit out his own land and property has been proven innocent, and who dares to come forward? ”

Hearing him say this, those Xiucai shouted even more angrily, saying that the six departments and Jiuqing plus the cabinet of the adults were corpse vegetarians, and they disregarded the world's scholars for their own little profits!

Jiang Tian listened in a private room, only thinking that these scholars were too shameless. You have been deprived of your own vested interests and are still counting on others to stand up for you? People don't want to suffer this dumb loss, so you will listen to and scold anything. In the final analysis, the deprivation of rights is a completely unfair privilege, and thanks to the teachings of the saints who opened their mouths and kept their mouths shut, even if such people were admitted to the civil service, they were also evil officials who deceived and deceived their superiors and subordinates and embezzled and solicited bribes. On the opposite side of Jiang Tian, the emperor Zhang Tao, who was being insulted, drank tea with relish.

Looking at the leisurely emperor, Jiang Tian really didn't know what this master thought: "You shot fast enough this time, it's really rare that those members of the cabinet didn't make trouble for you." ”

Zhang Tao swallowed the melon seeds and said nonchalantly: "How can I not find trouble, grinding under the roots of my ears every day, I almost cry, make trouble and hang myself, fortunately, I am a step higher, the initial plan is not much different from Yongzheng's, and after a few bargains, this is to leave a step for the people and jinshi of the former Ming Dynasty, otherwise I will send the army to enforce it!" ”

Jiang Tian imagined the scene at that time in his mind, it can be seen that those old stubborns can only pinch their noses one by one and admit it, it is already the limit to be able to win a buffer period of several decades for their colleagues in the world, the previous dynasties had a high status, even the imperial court did not dare to offend, unless you meet a tyrant, otherwise as long as the exam level is high enough, you can almost walk sideways among the people. But at the moment, the emperor doesn't eat this set, not to mention that people don't look down on Confucianism in the first place, even if you all get dismissed, people can just promote their cronies from the army, and then there will really be no place to cry. Jiang Tian looked at this private room, although it has been some years since the structure, but the maintenance is not bad. Not far from the window is the restaurant of Liu Junding's house, which can be said to be less than 100 meters apart.

"How did you choose such a place, especially opposite Liu's house?" Jiang Tian didn't have the heart to listen to the nonsense of those hairless boys, and pointed to the plaque outside the window and said, "Look at the house built, it's really a bit of a nouveau riche." ”

Zhang Tao was amused by Jiang Tian's words: "If you let Old Man Liu hear this, I will definitely be able to find you desperately, I don't choose where he is, it's too troublesome, anyway, I won't come forward this time, didn't you promise to give his family a few mirrors left every year?" As long as you give him some benefits at that time, can you still care about where the auction will be held? ”

Jiang Tian knew that the emperor knew Liu Junding better than himself, so he didn't say anything anymore. This morning, the emperor sent someone to the workshop to spread the word, saying that they would meet in this restaurant today, and that the emperor would wear a cotton robe to dress as a merchant. Jiang Tian was still strange at first, why did the private interview of Weifu still have a connector code? When I came to this street, I remembered that this was the territory of the Liu family, if I let Old Man Liu know that the emperor came to Dashilar but did not enter his house, it would really be able to kill King Qin's escort, and then there would be no need for a private room, waiting for the people on the street to kowtow to him.

Not to mention, not long after he sat down, he happened to hear these yellow-mouthed children talking nonsense here, no wonder Zhang Tao likes this form of private interview, and he can indeed hear many voices that cannot be heard in the court. However, I am afraid that after listening to the high arguments of these people, the reform, which may have been thought to be a bit radical, will be thoroughly implemented. Whoever dares to stand in the way of reform will have to pay the price. Don't look at Jiang Tian's contact with Zhang Tao for a long time, but he knows that this emperor's city is already very deep, and although he is happily drinking tea and eating melon seeds at the moment, he is completely disgusted by these guys in his heart.

Zhang Tao listened to the movement outside, and thought that the boys had left, and then took a sip of the teacup and rinsed his mouth: "Since you also think this place is good, let's hold an auction here." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to one of the guards beside him, and the man took the order in understanding. Jiang Tian guessed that it might be for this person to book a chartered time. In the end, it was agreed that the auction would be held on the day when the second dragon raised its head in February, and there would be people who would spread the wind to advertise in the next few days. To say that the advertising of this era still relied on word of mouth, but the emperor decided to make an innovation, he asked people to draw a simple poster, and then printed it with the lithographic method invented by Jiang Tian, a total of hundreds of copies were printed, and finally ordered people to post on the streets and alleys, and hired some idlers to meet people and say: "Do you know that Lord Jiang wants to auction mirrors?" I don't know, it's the second of February......"

From beginning to end, no one revealed any words about the royal family, but well-informed people have long known that those mirrors were developed by the emperor, and there are even people who have mastered the queen's loss of the beloved crystal mirror, forcing the emperor to have nowhere to hide......

"How did I not know there was such an order?" Jiang Tian, who was debugging the machine in the workshop, couldn't cry or laugh: "What is the psychology of these rumors?" ”

Liu Baokai, who came to pass the news, didn't think so: "This must be someone who leaked the news, otherwise how could he even know about the prince breaking the mirror." But if you want me to say brother, you are not interesting enough, where can you go for such a big thing, you have to auction it in the Zhiwei Building opposite my house, this is not my old man asked me to ask, if you change to my auction, not only do not charge a charter fee, but also come with tea! ”

Jiang Tian, who was covered in oil, didn't look at him, and was about to replace an unqualified gear at the moment: "It's useless for you to look for me about this, it's better to let your old man go directly to the emperor to talk to him, anyway, the deposit for the charter is not paid by me, whoever spends the money is in charge." ”

Although the pervert is a little lacking in science, he is not stupid, and he is still a little spiritual in terms of human feelings. As soon as he heard it, he understood that the emperor was doing this, but why did he do it? His Majesty did not object to their family also selling mirrors, but he never mentioned the underwriting, which seems to be a warning to my old man not to always think about making money. After thinking about this problem, he was relieved, which showed that the emperor still cherished his family a little, and if the emperor ignored his family's business one day, it would be a more dangerous signal. Because this emperor is not the kind of person who is easy to fool, if he connives, he will only mean two things, or he needs you to achieve a certain purpose. Either you want to capture and indulge in it, waiting for you to cut yourself off from the people.

Liu Baokai, who was in a relaxed mood, noticed Jiang Tian's work: "Sir, what is this machine for?" ”

"You'll find out in a moment." Jiang Tian fixed the last part, and then beckoned to the workers not far away to start the experiment.

Not long after a while, there were two people outside the door carrying a piece of copper strip that was still bubbling with flames coming in, aiming at the feed port of the machine, the hot rolling mill driven by four cows began the first test, only to see that the copper bar was rolled into the rolls, after a tooth-sore squeak, the copper bar was slowly rolled in, and then a slightly flattened copper bar came out from the other end of the machine, and then it was rolled into another set of rolls, and after being repeatedly rolled five times, What was obtained at the discharge port was a copper plate that was still hot and uniform thickness, and several workers hurriedly used a special hook to tie the copper plate, and then threw it into the open space on the side. Jiang Tian didn't care about the hot temperature, walked in front of the copper plate and looked at it carefully, feeling that on the whole, in addition to the small driving force of animal power, the raw materials began to cool down during the rolling process, and after the final product came out, there was no burning flame at all. If it weren't for the softness of the copper itself, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so light.

The pervert stood aside and looked straight at it, the first time he saw a copper bar thicker than his arm crushed into a thin plate, if it was placed in the hands of an ordinary craftsman, I am afraid that he would not know how many times he picked up the hammer to smash it to have this level, and the machine designed by Jiang Tian was only driven by oxen, but he did not expect it to have such a domineering performance. It has to be said that such an intuitive demonstration embodies the power of industrialization and gives people a strong shock. Not to mention Liu Baokai, an outsider who saw him for the first time, even those who participated in the development were a little unexpected. After Jiang Tian waited for the temperature to be a little lower, he intuitively measured it with the naked eye, and it seemed that the finished product was quite satisfactory, and it should be able to obtain more satisfactory results when used on the original manual press pressurized by the principle of lever. Then he disassembled the machine he had just assembled by hand again, and measured each of the main parts, which was tedious, complicated and full of oil, but Jiang Tian unconsciously recorded the size of the parts in detail, and compared them with the original number, so as to calculate the fatigue of the material and the time limit for overhaul. In fact, it is not only him, but also those who are carrying out this work as researchers, which is also the result of Jiang Tian's request, because scientific research must not be false at all, and it is impossible to dream of making others build a machine by moving their mouths. Without this passion for getting to the front line, you would never have been able to make a great product.

"Okay, it looks like the parts are pretty strong this time." After Jiang Tian finished his work, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. The material problem that had been bothering him seemed to be solved, and all that remained was to carry out extreme experiments.

Song Yi, who was also busy and sweating profusely, nodded, and then said to the researchers: "You are responsible for reinstalling the machine, and then you will keep starting to press the copper plate, record how many times the work has been carried out, and when the machine has a failure, and then count the detailed number." ”

Song Yi, who has gradually adapted to Jiang Tian's rhythm, no longer needs to ask Jiang Tian to tell him everything, and he is already familiar with this kind of finishing work, or he has realized some of the rationality of the modern development process. As for the original intention of developing this kind of machine, he forgot it to the clouds. After arranging the work, the master and apprentice found Liu Baokai who was sitting on the side dozing off.

"Yijian, Yijian!" Song Yi was also full of oil because of his injury, so he kicked the pervert with his foot: "Why haven't you left yet?" ”

Liu Baokai, who was awakened, first opened his eyes in ignorance, and then came back to his senses: "Are you okay?" ”

The pervert, who got an affirmative answer, jumped up suddenly: "I said what kind of machine did you guys just now, how can you be so powerful?" ”

Jiang Tian shook his head: "I can't understand a sentence and a half, when you come to my private school to take classes, if you can graduate smoothly, you will be able to figure it out." ”

Compared with the original hot rolling mill designed by Jiang Tian and the later generations, not only the power lacks limited function, but also the structure is far more complex than that of later generations, which is mainly because of the limitation of movement, the four cows are tied to a machine similar to a grinding disc, so that they move around this machine in a circle, thus driving a very complex set of driving devices, in order to obtain a stable output force, Jiang Tian had to design a set of transmission devices, which is hot-rolled brass, if replaced by steel, The machine could definitely strike at the moment of feeding, because the cattle didn't have that much strength at all. However, it can be said that the world's first hot rolling mill in the modern sense has been born, although it was used in a very regrettable mint, but the people involved in the development of this machine opened their minds and saw some basic knowledge of the primitive industry, and these people then slowly grew up, and gradually formed a group of professional teams with a rigorous style, which is the greatest benefit of this research and development work.

However, the thing that shocked the pervert at the moment is far from over, because the work is relatively smooth, and the rest is done by the researchers, so Jiang Tian and Song Yi are ready to wash their hands and faces, just because there is too much oil on their hands, so Jiang Tian asked people to bring a little alkaline noodles, sprinkled them evenly on their hands, and after waiting for a while, they just rinsed with water slightly, and those dirty things that seemed to be stubborn and not easy to wash disappeared, and they regained the white appearance of the scholar.

"This ...... Why is that? Liu Baokai suddenly felt that he hadn't come to the workshop for a while, and as a result, Jiang Tian had made it unrecognizable.

Without waiting for Jiang Tian to answer, Song Yi preemptively said the answer: "Saponification reaction!" Mr. mentioned this in his textbook, because the grease used for lubrication on the machine qì can produce a cleaning thing after meeting with alkali, which Mr. calls soap. ”

Seeing that the pervert couldn't understand it at all, Jiang Tian only asked him, "Have you ever used pancreas?" ”

The pervert nodded stupidly.

"That's the same thing, the pancreas of animals itself contains a lot of fat, and the thing made after alkali is the pancreas, and I just simplified the process."

Liu Baokai nodded as if he didn't understand: "I see, I really don't know that pancreas has this reason." ”

Song Yi was stunned when he saw his good friend being bluffed, and the pleasure in his heart arose, thinking that when he guessed Jiang Tian's various behaviors against the textbook, it was not much different from his current reaction, for Jiang Tian's ability to casually point out the mysteries of heaven and earth, in addition to envy and worship, there was only a desire to learn hands, so he tried to make some soap with the materials of the Academy of Sciences according to Jiang Tian's guidance, and at this time he took out these carefully selected finished products with the mood of offering treasures.

The pervert looked at a yellow, opaque brick-like thing for a long time, and after smelling the smell, he almost bit it with his teeth to taste it, but of course this behavior was finally stopped. So he decided to use it according to Song Yi to see the effect, and there was no need to know the result, looking at his hands that were much cleaner than before and the basin of dirty sewage, Liu Baokai's shock in his heart was needless to say, he didn't expect that Song Yi would have such ability just by following Jiang Tian for less than half a year.

"This soap...... It has a much lighter smell than pancreas, and its effect is extraordinary. If it could be sold in the world, wouldn't it be a great deal? ”

Jiang Tian almost didn't laugh when he heard it, although the eldest prince of the Duke's Mansion had a respected status, he still spoke with the philistine spirit of Hu Shang. Of course, Jiang Tian didn't hate this idea, but he could only shake his head regretfully: "It's true that soap is better than pancreas, but to make zuò soap, you need to use high-quality soda and supplement it with pure oil, these two are not bargains, making such a bar of soap is more expensive than five pieces of pancreas, how many people can afford it?" At most, it is sold to wealthy families to fill the façade, and it can't sell much in a year. ”

Liu Baokai was a little deflated when he heard this, and he just thought that if he could make a fortune with this, he would be able to impress his father. When Jiang Tian said that he wanted to use oral alkali, he knew that this thing could not be cheap. The so-called mouth alkali refers to a kind of natural alkali noodles sold in Zhangjiakou, in fact, the main production area is in the alkaline water lake in the area of Ordos, Mongolia, every winter after the alkali flowers are produced on the ground, carefully scraped down and then purified things. Not only is the quality of this thing better than other alkaline noodles, but the source is also very unstable. If it weren't for the Tartars outside the border in the past two years, His Majesty would have been scared, and the border city would have been opened to appease the Mongolian tribes, otherwise this alkali would have to be smuggled into the Central Plains. How much do you think soap made from this kind of stuff should be sold for? It is estimated that there is no one in the world except the royal family who can enjoy it like this.
