Under Qin Chuan's flickering, Cai Jusanren patted his chest and promised that he must fool his junior brother and lick the bricks and tiles for General Qin's career.

His junior brother's Dao name is also very interesting, called Dongli Sanren.

Qin Chuan couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked him about his master's road number, but as expected, his master's name was Nanshanzi.

Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see the South Mountain.

It seems that Nanshanzi is different from other bulls, he likes to sing poems against him, and he doesn't take some Taoist names like other bulls, but takes a name like a scholar.

It's just that this Nanshanzi, like many Taoist priests, is obsessed with alchemy and seeking Taoism, and he hung up many years ago.

You don't need to ask to know, it should be a panacea.

Nanshanzi has no sect and no faction, is a Zhongnanshan scattered cultivation, only accepted two disciples, Cai Ju and Dongli, the former inherited the mantle of the master, intoxicated with alchemy, and the latter traveled to Yingtianfu when he met a Western missionary. Then he was brought into the crooked path of the evil sect, and he mixed up with those few Francois people all day to make some messy things, and wrote a letter to Cai Ju, who was still in Fenyang at the time, wanting to bring the senior brother into the crooked path of the evil sect.

According to Cai Ju, before coming to Lou Fu, he went to Jiangning Town in Yingtianfu to see Dongli, but he almost didn't recognize the former radiant junior brother.

At that time, the Dongli Sanren were skinny, with a sallow face, a lot of eyebrows and hair had been burned off for some reason, and he was wearing a tattered robe, similar to the hungry people on the street.

The Western missionary who mixed with him was called Luo Zixi, this name was taken after coming to the Ming Dynasty, and like the Dongli Sanren, this Luo Zixi also looked unkempt.

The two lived in a converted church, and they used pots and pans in the house all day long.

Like other Western missionaries in Yingtianfu, their food and clothing were sent from Australia to a great missionary in Nanjing, and then distributed to missionaries in various states and counties.

But after Luo Zixi and Dongli Sanren indulged in foolishness, Nanjing City cut off his money, and the two relied on Dongli Sanren to go out to do a dojo, or Luo Zixi went out to help people heal, and the days were like this.

Now, even if the two of them didn't starve to death, they probably wouldn't be far behind.

Qin Chuan transferred fifty Guan Emperor soldiers that night, and waited until early tomorrow morning to accompany Cai Jusan people to Jiangning Town, Shuntian Prefecture, and took them over before the two starved to death.

Qin Chuan also gave Cai Ju Sanren two pieces of paper, one of which was a map, Qin Chuan hand-drew a map of the world based on his impression.

Although the drawing is ugly and there are many differences from the real world map, the outlines of the seven continents and the four oceans have been drawn.

This map is currently the most complete map of the world, because Europeans have not yet discovered Antarctica, and even Australia was discovered more than 20 years ago.

On another piece of paper, only two paragraphs were written: water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, and the air mainly contains nitrogen, oxygen, and other small gases.

When he saw these two paragraphs, Cai Jusanren's face was surprised, and he shook his head at the two paragraphs and shook his head in surprise.

Qin Chuan thought that he also knew something about chemistry, after all, he was also an alchemist.

Who knew that he suddenly burst out with a sentence: "The general is really a master, and the Danjing written in the poor road is a book from heaven." ”

"Ahem, Wang Jizong said that I am a foreign scholar from the Ten Continents, but in fact, I am just a fox immortal."

Qin Chuan casually said a few perfunctory sentences, and then continued to explain other matters to Emperor Guan.

Those two pieces of paper couldn't impress Dongli Sanren and Luo Zixi, so they tied them up and transported them back like pigs.

If they know other strange people and strange things, they can also be tied up together, but other missionaries who see people are blessed by God...... Forget it.

Qin Chuan didn't want the people under his rule to run to the church to pray twice a day, and farming well was the right thing.

Moreover, this thing can easily spawn cults.

In his opinion, the belief systems of cause and effect, reincarnation, and morality after the integration of Buddhism and Taoism are quite good.

In addition to kidnapping people, Qin Chuan also gave Guan Dijun 2,000 taels of silver, and asked them to buy more glasses, the more transparent the better, and it will be necessary to use them for various experiments at that time.

In fact, Qin Chuan also wants to make glass, this thing is a money-making baby.

He also knew the raw material of glass, which could be seen everywhere in various forums in later generations, that is, quartz sand, limestone, feldspar, and soda ash, which were mixed and calcined in a certain proportion, and the temperature requirements were higher than that of ironmaking.

The problem is that soda ash is not easy to get, this thing is very small in nature, and there are underground veins and salt lakes, and the purity is not high, the low yield restricts the industrial development of glass, and the low purity leads to many impurities and low transparency of the glass.

Qin Chuan looked at the forum and saw others say that soda ash can be extracted from plant ash, but he doesn't know the specific method.

Quartz glass can also be burned with sand alone, but because of the high melting point of sand, co-solvents such as grass limestone have to be added, and the quality of the fired glass is very poor.

Now there are a lot of imported glasses in Daming, few of which have high transparency, when Qin Chuan made a telescope, Luo Wentian spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to buy a few cups to polish back.

If Qin Chuan wants to engage in high transparency, he especially wants to make mirrors, the current mirrors are all imported and expensive, but they still make rich women flock to them.

And if he wants to do it, he will engage in mass production, otherwise it will not mean much to him to make a small fuss.

To have high quality and mass production, it is necessary to synthesize soda ash.

It's best to make boric acid, which increases the heat resistance and transparency of the glass.

In other words, Qin Chuan needs chemists.

The East Fence and the Naro are from the West.

When they come, it's not too late to get glass first, and then mine mercury and explosives.

So, Qin Chuan called Luo Wentian again and asked him to go to Siyan City in Pingyang Mansion tomorrow, and spend some money to ask the officials there to help find two things in the salt lake, one is trona, and the other is natural boric acid.

Both of these things are transparent crystals, similar to crystals, but borate stone has a sour taste, and trona has a bitter taste, or it is sour and bitter, and you can find these two things by tasting them carefully.

When the time comes, Qin Chuan will spend money to buy these two things from the people of Siyan City, and buy them in large quantities.

Especially trona, as much as you want, this thing can also be made into baking soda, which is used to make steamed buns, and the demand will be very large.

China did not know how to mine and utilize trona until the Qianlong period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and before that it was fired with plant ash, the process was complex but the output was low, and it was a financial road to develop industrial alkali.

……

After arranging various matters, Qin Chuan dragged his tired body back to the inner courtyard.

Hearing his footsteps, Wen Suxin came out of the house and stood at the door to greet him.

As soon as he saw Wen Suxin's lovely appearance, Qin Chuan couldn't help but hug him.

Wen Suxin's face was flushed, like a little sheep, she let him take several mouthfuls, and groped up and down, and found that the development of the situation was about to be uncontrollable, so she hurriedly pushed him away, and then ran into the house and came out with a basin of warm water.

While washing his face and hands in the copper basin, Qin Chuan asked with a smile: "Su Xin, have you talked to Li Yueru's little girl?" ”

Wen Suxin glared at him with a sneer: "Look at you monkey in a hurry." ”

"Ahem, that's a big deal."

"Okay, the concubine has talked to her."

"Oh? Did she nod her head? ”

"I didn't nod or shake my head, I ran away with a red face, and the concubine chased after her and told her a few times, but she kept silent."

"Huh?"

Wen Suxin pursed her lips and smiled: "Judging from the concubine, it's not that Sister Yueru doesn't want to marry her husband, it's just that she ...... The husband will go out in person. ”

"This ......"

"Isn't the husband's cheeks thick? I think that at the beginning, the concubine was ......"

"Ahem, that...... You tell her tomorrow that we don't support idlers, if she doesn't marry me, send her to Ninghua Mansion to be the princess." ”

"Huh? Husband......"

"Your husband has been too busy lately, and he doesn't have time to change tricks to tease her, so let's just order it directly, and we will do it in the past two days, and wait for her to taste it...... Ahem, she naturally knows what happiness is. ”

Wen Suxin's face turned red when she heard this, and she raised her small fist and slapped Qin Chuan a few times.

Qin Chuan took advantage of the situation and took her into his arms again, and said with a smile.
