Chapter 128: The Way to Make Money

Guan Shanyue studied mechanical manufacturing, and has been thinking about modifying machine tools, but the conditions of the steam engine cannot meet the conditions for modifying machine tools for the time being. www.biquge.info In order to make a fortune, he had to look in other directions.

After he came back, he went to the Daning Academy of Sciences if he had nothing to do, he didn't know if he didn't see it, and he was startled when he saw it. After having abundant material conditions, in addition to coal distillation, Xu Guangqi quickly completed his "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", and Song Yingxing also completed his painstaking work "Heavenly Creations", but the two felt that the first draft was not perfect, if there was no Guan Shanyue's questioning, they would still hide it and refuse to make it public.

After obtaining the consent of the two, he handed over the manuscripts of "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" and "Tiangong Kaiwu" to Daming Daily, and asked them to expedite typesetting and printing 500 copies each, and pushed them to read in a small area.

Of course, the original manuscripts of these two books signed by Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing were also left in the mansion by Guan Shanyue, who was a fan of wealth, and he said that he wanted to leave them to his descendants as heirlooms.

The celebrities in front of the emperor were willing to collect their clumsy works, and the two felt that it was a great honor, which made the colleagues of the Daning Academy of Sciences blush for a while. As a result, a wave of books and speeches was set off in the brains of the Daning Academy of Sciences, and even Vauban who had been building a city outside heard the news and wrote a book on how to build a city. The current Daning can't talk about a hundred schools of thought, but it can also be said that a hundred flowers are blooming.

When Guan Shanyue was discussing the printing plate with Song Yingxing, he accidentally found several sets of textile machines in his room that were different from the current ones.

Guan Shanyue quickly searched for information about the loom in his brain, he vaguely remembered the picture of the Jenny machine in the history textbook, and probably drew the style of the loom with the style in his memory, but he never understood the principle.

Song Yingxing is simply a demonic existence beyond this era, after Guan Shanyue pointed out with the eyes of later generations, he has been committed to modifying the textile machine, and he actually only relied on Guan Shanyue's vague description, changed the original horizontal spindle to an upright one, and the next day he genius-like built a textile machine similar to Jenny's machine.

This new type of loom can not only spin ten cotton yarns at a time, but also the quality of the cotton yarn is much better than the previous one, which greatly improves the efficiency of weaving, which is simply an unexpected joy.

Because it was Guan Shanyue's idea, Song Yingxing and his colleagues from the Daning Academy of Sciences unanimously agreed to name this spinning machine as Shanyue Textile Machine.

This made Guan Shanyue feel ashamed, the Jenny machine in his memory was just a black and white picture in the history textbook, he just provided a correct direction for improvement, he believed that without his prompts, with Song Yingxing's ingenuity, if he made up his mind to make a new textile machine, he could also make a new textile machine.

In the end, Guan Shanyue repeatedly excused herself, but she couldn't thank her, so she had to follow the advice of Emperor Chongzhen, who came to the Daning Academy of Sciences to see the excitement, named the new textile machine Xingyue Textile Machine, and put Song Yingxing's name in front of it to show respect.

He was plagued by the shortage of money, he quickly sniffed out the copper smell of money, and while ordering people to produce Xingyue textile machines and transport them to textile factories for production, he proposed the idea of combining steam engines with Xingyue textile machines, of course, this heavy burden fell on Song Yingxing's body.

Daning people take steamed bread as the staple food, and every household uses alkaline noodles when steaming steamed bread, and the annual demand is also a large amount.

At the beginning of spring this year, Wei Liangqing, a chicken thief, saw a business opportunity from it, so he set up his own alkali factory in Daning, and also gave a unique name, alabaster soda factory.

With Guan Shanyue's strong support, Daning finally had the courage to set up his own glass factory and began to produce this kind of glass with bubbles on a large scale.

Of course, the doors and windows of the people of Daning are still made of window paper, and all these precious glasses were sold to the royal family and nobles in the West through Francisco's hands.

At present, the demand for alkali noodles in Daning can be basically self-sufficient, and the production capacity of the alkali plant is in the climbing period, with the increase in the number of workers and proficiency, it is estimated that it can be used as a fist brand in Daning in the spring of next year.

Guan Shanyue vaguely remembered that when she was in high school, her chemistry teacher said that the foundation of the modern chemical industry is "three acids and two alkalis", "three acids" sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and "two alkalis" are caustic soda and alkali (sodium carbonate).

The modern chemical industry will not be able to do it for a while, he thought about it for a few days, and with his knowledge of high school chemistry and the existing conditions, he felt that he could make soap and mirrors now.

Daning, the raw material for making soap, is that he is glad that he did not wander when he was in chemistry class, and he still remembers that the raw materials for the saponification reaction are caustic soda and oil.

As for the production of mirrors, it is natural to produce them by using tin foil and mercury, but unfortunately Guan Shanyue, who was destined to do so, knew that mercury was poisonous, so she gave up this plan and began to make up her mind on the reaction of silver mirrors.

Zhang Zechang was injured by a foreign injury, and after applying the secret gold sore medicine that Wu Youke personally configured, he was alive and kicking up and down within two days. He had nothing to do, but he was like a god stick in the Daning Academy of Sciences, preaching to those foreigners. Not to mention, there are really a few people who are not resolute in their will to give up their past beliefs and convert to Taoism.

It's just that Zhang Zechang's behavior made Xu Guangqi a little unhappy, and he sent people to urge Guan Shanyue to pick up people again and again.

Guan Shanyue rescued Zhang Zechang at the beginning, because he took a fancy to his hands-on ability, that is, his experimental ability, he felt that Taoist alchemy was no different from the chemical experiments in the middle school classroom now, since he could do alchemy, he could also do chemical experiments.

On this day, he made up his mind to make soap, and after a batch of custom-made utensils were in place, he finally asked Zhang Ergou to "invite" Zhang Zechang, who was in the middle of the Daning Academy of Sciences, to the front yard of the Governor's Mansion.

The food of the Daning Academy of Sciences is three meat and three vegetables with one soup per meal, and Zhang Zechang, who is not taboo, eats with a red face and a radiant face, but he has not forgotten Guan Shanyue's life-saving grace before the fifth day, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.

Although the current saint rewarded Zhang Zechang to Guan Shanyue, after all, he grew up in modern society, and felt that respect was the way to get along with each other, so he hurriedly turned to one side, pulled him up from the ground, and said with a panicked face: "The Taoist tortures me, the Taoist tortures me!" Dao Chief, please sit down, Guan only knows that the chief's name is Zhang Zechang, and he is a true Laoshan faction, can you report to your family and let Guan know more? ”

Zhang Zechang knew that he was rewarded by the current holy mountain to this second-grade master in front of him, and his small life was in the hands of this person, and life and death were all based on his words, and he didn't dare to mess up his proportions at all, and let Guan Shanyue give in, just stand aside like a subordinate with his head down, and refuse to sit down.

Guan Shanyue couldn't be stubborn, shook her head with a smile, and let him go.

After some pushing, beads of sweat appeared on Zhang Zechang's forehead, he stood in front of Guan Shanyue, and said respectfully: "The villain's name is Zhang Zechang, and he calls himself Xuan Miao Zhenren, but he is the Daoji of Laizhou Prefecture, and the Laoshan faction of the Longmen faction of the town is also known as the Jinshan faction. The founding patriarch of the Jinshan faction is named Sun Xuanqing, and the emperor ordered the protector of the country to protect the heavenly master Zuozan sect leader Ziyang Zhenren ......"

This Zhang Zechang really has the talent to be a god stick, Guan Shanyue actually listened to him talk about the glorious history of the Laoshan faction for half an hour with relish, and it was only when his lips were dry that he remembered that he was invited to make soap today.
