"Introducing labor and expanding immigration channels will be a long-term national policy!"

Zhu Beiguo looked at the sand dunes in the distance and said suddenly.

"Yes, trade nations, immigrants build nations."

Li Junming lowered his head and thought about it, and also looked into the distance and responded to Zhu Beiguo.

At this time, Ren Ke and Wei #Hong silently followed behind the two elder brothers without interjecting......

It was almost noon, Cao Limei and her party finally returned from the distant sand dunes, and the news that Xiao Cao brought back quickly made this lively beach barbecue party focus the topic of conversation on the sugar industry.

"What is apatite used for?"

A high school student whispered to someone close to him.

"Apatite is the raw material for the production of phosphoric acid, with the chemical technology we have mastered, compared with the ancients to obtain phosphoric acid by plant methods, our phosphoric acid is much higher than that era in terms of purity and production efficiency, plus the advantages of other chemical products and production methods, there is no doubt that the quality of our sugar will be much better than that era!"

Gui Xianning said to the people sitting next to him while peeling the shrimp shell, then put down the lobster in his hand, and stretched his neck curiously to visit the few stones exposed in Zhu Beiguo's backpack on the beach.

At this time, a group of people at the barbecue grill were also discussing around Zhu Beiguo's backpack:

"I've heard that sugar isn't as valuable as glassware, especially glass mirrors?"

"That's for sure!"

"Who knows, it feels like this is a stalk that has been played badly in the novel, do we really want to rely on this project to open the market?"

"It's still the same sentence, you don't care if you play rotten or not, it's easy to use!"

"I think Nicole's suggestion is still reliable, after all, people have traveled from 60,000 years ago, and they are not less knowledgeable than us, right?"

"The real problem is precisely this 60,000 years ago! It's too far away from our time, and I don't think it's reliable......"

"Ask Brother Zhu, he should have some information about the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties."

"Well, the glass mirror is indeed used rotten in the travel novel, but it is precisely because it is used that it is rotten, doesn't it mean that this thing has been tested for a long time and is very useful? I think it's pretty reliable. ”

"Guys, listen to me!"

Zhu Beiguo was peeling the shrimp shell at this time, and after listening to everyone's discussion, he raised the lobster in his hand, raised his voice and said:

"I am here to tell you a historical fact, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, sugar and glass mirrors are indeed quite valuable, although the two of making glass mirrors and making white sugar are rotten ridges used in novels, but the value of this is really a historical fact, there are specific historical records!

At the beginning of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, in order to obtain the right to preach, some missionaries entered Beijing to pay tribute to Kangxi Western treasures, in addition to mechanical clocks and muskets, there was a set of glass wine glasses and a few small glass mirrors the size of palms.

Emperor Kangxi was very happy when he saw these things, and ordered a glass workshop to be built in the palace to make mirrors! These are all written in the history books. ”

Everyone was very nervous when they heard this, obviously, if the Kangxi Emperor, who "learned from China and the West", really built a glass mirror, then how can we pretend to be forced to slap the face to earn money?

So everyone began to talk again:

"Fortunately, I haven't heard that Kangxi's royal office has made a glass mirror......"

"It's hard to say, according to the urine properties of Kang Mazi, it is also for his own use, and even the technology will be kept secret!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I remember Kangxi also played with flintlock pistols! But it's just for its own play, not for the army, and it's still a strong emphasis on mounted archery or something. ”

"Holy! This flintlock pistol has also been played? Then why doesn't he equip the army? ”

A few people in the crowd immediately asked with curious faces.

"Who knows, maybe it's not the performance...... After all, the early flintlock pistols had a somewhat low rate of fire. ”

"If you want me to say it, it's not necessarily, the nobles of the Qing Dynasty are on guard all day long, especially the Han people, divided into ranks, the advanced things that the nobles play, only give their personal minions, the advanced weapons of the Eight Banners military, and definitely not give the Green Battalion ......"

At this time, Ren Ke finally finished eating a big lobster, and said to his brothers while wiping his hands with a napkin.

"What about this glass mirror?"

"Hey! That's right, Dr. Zhu, Brother Zhu, did Kangxi's glass workshop succeed in making mirrors? ”

"yes, we care about that!"

"No, in the end, it didn't work, the main reason is the quality of the glass."

Zhu Bei replied in the Chinese tone.

"Why? Probably not, right? I remember that the teacher said in class before, "Tiangong Kaiwu" mentioned that glassware was fired together with glazed sheep's horn and saltpeter, Song Yingxing was a native of the late Ming Dynasty, and the books of Master Song in the Kangxi period came out, can't you just do it according to it? ”

"Hehe, this classmate, it seems that you are very serious in history class, give you a thumbs up!"

Zhu Beiguo is very obsessed with history, and when he meets people who are interested in history, he is naturally close, so Dr. Zhu doesn't eat lobster anymore, puts down the food in his hand and begins to talk to everyone:

"You are right, the last chapter of "Heavenly Creation" does introduce the production method of glass, and according to my research and research, I can be responsible for saying that Song Yingxing proposed the production method of potassium and lead glass! Compared with modern industrial methods, the difference is only in the specific raw materials, such as sheep's horn, glazed stone, saltpeter and copper coins, etc., which obviously belong to the typical empirical potash and lead glass production process. ”

"Is that so? Who do we sell our glass to? ”

"We are industrial production, with large output and low cost!"

Someone in the crowd responded.

"Everyone, I haven't finished speaking, don't worry about Kangxi's royal glass workshop!"

Zhu Beiguo paused when he said this:

"Well, the actual situation is that the process that Master Song Yingxing said not only did not survive and promote, but also disappeared in the end! Because the book "Heavenly Creation" was banned in the Qing Dynasty, have you forgotten? As I told you a few days ago, Kangxi ordered the destruction of this book! So much so that our later generations of "Heavenly Creations" will be imported from Japan, of course, we have a full set, in the data room on the fifth floor! ”

So the group of young people, while eating lobster meat, began to talk again:

"Hehe, I think Tartars are stupid enough, uneducated is uneducated, and they don't know the goods!"

"Pull it down, I don't think the Tartars are stupid, are they really stupid to enter the Central Plains? Can hundreds of thousands of people rule tens of millions of people into obedience? ”

"That's our Daming is too unlucky, if Li Zicheng entered Beijing ten years earlier or ten years later, do you think the wild boar skin can gain power?"

At this time, Ming Fan Wei # Hong commented unwillingly.

"Then as Brother Zhu said before, the core interests are the Eight Banners of the World, and everything must be conceded to this core interest, right?"

"As for the national economy and people's livelihood, national interests, and civilization and progress, in the face of this core interest, it is not a ......"

"So the backwardness of the Qing Dynasty is self-inflicted, but indeed, people don't care about being backward and advanced, what those people care about most is power, is dominance!"

"So I was thinking about it all day long, carefully caring for the ancestral family law, so I was self-contained, and I didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool."

"So, the so-called so-called planting melons and getting melons, planting beans and getting beans, people's control has never been relaxed, until the final collapse, which can be regarded as the answer to the old saying - success is also Xiao He and defeat is Xiao He!"

At this time, Ren Ke sat on the beach chair, crossed Erlang's legs, waved another big lobster in his hand, and sneered at everyone.

However, after this discussion, everyone's attention was concentrated, and some noisy beaches actually quieted down.

Now Zhu Beiguo came to his senses, he immediately stood up, put on a posture of speech, and said eloquently to everyone:

"Hey! You guys seem to be talking a little farther, let me continue to introduce! In short, please rest assured that throughout the reign of the Qing Dynasty, from the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the later period of the Westernization Movement of the Empress Dowager of the West, the Qing Dynasty did not produce glass in the true sense.

Not to mention the highly transparent glass cups, according to historical records, glass cups only appeared in the imperial palace and some royal palaces in the late Qianlong period in the eighteenth century, and they were used to show off hospitality!

At that time, it was recorded that the teacup used by a certain palace to entertain guests was not an official kiln porcelain, but a transparent glass cup! This made the guests stunned one by one, and regarded them as rare things, which means that? These people are nobles, and the glass cup is so cherished in the eyes of these people, which is very revealing, in short, the glass cup has always been a very valuable thing in the Qianlong period.

Note that we are most likely to travel to the middle of the 17th century, which is a hundred years earlier than the Qianlong period! ”
