In the small courtyard of the master, Yang Qing and Shen Tianyou gathered around the table, staring at the small finished soap on the top side. This one reached out and touched it gently, and the other leaned up to sniff it, which was very rare.

In fact, Li Qian had already made this piece of soap, but it still took a week to solidify the finished product, so it was not until today that the thing was displayed in front of them------

The process of making soap is naturally not as easy as imagined, don't look at this thing is easy to say, but it is not easy to actually operate it. After all, in this era, there was no computer that could read the data, and all Li Qian remembered in his mind were some simple steps and ingredients. Just a few simple things, vegetable oil and water, and sodium hydroxide, really took him a lot of effort.

In this era, there is no complex profession of chemistry, the key is that Li Qian is still half a bucket of water, and he only knows that quicklime can be turned into mature lime by adding water, and grass ash can be refined into alkali------ which is of course not pure enough. Together, these two can be used instead of sodium hydroxide, and I can't remember how much I dosage, but I can only roughly use it------

When everything was ready, as expected, life taught him a hard lesson, and the first experiment ended in failure.

Li Qian was not discouraged, thinking that it should be because the dosage was not grasped well, which led to insufficient saponification, so he made persistent efforts and did it again------ unfortunately, he failed again.

It's okay, when Edison invented the light bulb, didn't he fail many times? It is said that he failed------ thousands or tens of thousands of times? Many, many times anyway! So, what are these two small setbacks of your own?

Again!

It wasn't until after countless failures that Li Qian remembered that there was a difference between the weights and measures of this era and later generations. That's why I've tried so many times and still failed------

One tael in the Ming Dynasty is not equal to fifty grams, but about thirty-seven grams in later generations------ this is not counted, the key is that there is no such unit as grams, all in baht. The idiom "baht must be compared", probably that's how it came about.

After understanding this, Li Qian changed the formula slightly, and after only a few tests, the most perfect soap in the world was freshly baked------ at least he thought so.

There are two methods of handmade soap, hot and cold, of course, the cold method is less irritating, and it is milder, and the effect is much better than that of hot soap. Of course, the advantage of hot soap is that ------the finished product is faster, and there is no need to wait for more than a month like cooling, and the cost is lower.

Li Qian felt that it was the first time he took his work so seriously, and he had to get back enough remuneration. Therefore, in cooperation with Yang Qing, he must be a major shareholder, do the least work, get the most dividends------ or even don't work, and get money for nothing.

Seeing their happy but cautious looks, Li Qian was a little speechless in his heart.

It's not a treasure!

Isn't it just to use things when they are made? This will be left in the future generations, and it is only the price of three or two yuan, and no one will necessarily pick it up if it falls on the ground------

He stepped forward and grabbed the small piece of soap, and then came to a basin of water that had been prepared a long time ago, and after wetting his face with water, he rubbed his hand back and forth on the soap a few times, demonstrating how to wash his face with soap on the spot.

From beginning to end, Yang Qing and Shen Tianyou's eyes never left his face, and they were inevitably a little suspicious of this. This soap ------ looks more exquisite, but is it really good to use pancreas?

However, when Li Qian wiped his face with a handkerchief and turned to them again, the two of them were instantly stunned!

------

------

The incident that Li Qian made in the Spring Breeze Smile Building actually spread to the capital very early, and there was no suspense about what happened after that. First of all, several imperial historians jumped out and impeached Li Qian for his corrupt conduct, believing that the saint should issue a decree to reprimand him and take back the Mobao of the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction ------ to be precise, Lao Zhu did not react. This time, the iron-fisted monarch rarely remained silent on the matter, and the few folds of impeachment were left behind.

Such an attitude is not strange to say, but it is also expected by some people.

It is well known to the whole world that when today's son is jealous and hateful, in the early years, he strictly forbade officials to stay in prostitution, and it was indeed strictly controlled for a period of time, and he was not even allowed to enter and leave Fengyue. It's just that Lao Zhu later found out that this is a common problem of men, and this trend is categorically unable to be completely banned, so he adopted a very strange acquiescence attitude------ after all, if it is true, I am afraid that most of the officials in the Manchu Dynasty will have to play the board!

Others don't know the details of those officials, but it's impossible for Jinyiwei to really not know.

Jin Yiwei knows, Zhu Yuanzhang must know too!

Therefore, now it is only openly prohibited, and secretly and quietly relaxed the restrictions in this regard. Of course, there is also a premise for this, your elegance is your business, the key is not to let people catch you lingering in the smoke street and willow lane, and then tell the royal come, otherwise this matter is not over!

But what people in the world, including many officials, don't know is that Zhu Yuanzhang has such an element as "calf protection" in his bones. He can kill outsiders decisively, but when he treats his relatives, he adopts a complete double standard. Not to mention, just look at his doting on more than 20 sons, allowing these vassal kings to behave indiscriminately in the fiefdom and oppress the people, you can get a glimpse or two.

There's no way, Zhu Yuanzhang is not a god after all, he is also a living person, how can he ignore family affection?

In fact, not only relatives, but Zhu Yuanzhang also treated his old ministry very well, and the reward after the founding of the country was not completely meritorious, but decided according to the faction. The old generals who followed him earlier actually did not have as many generals who did not serve as well as the later ones in terms of military exploits, but most of them were titled relatively high.

For example, during the battle of crossing the river that year, Liao Yongzhong and other generals of the Chaohu Lake Water Division who came to defect, although some people were also made marquises, they were all ranked behind many old generals of Haozhou who had relatively mediocre military achievements. In history, among the generals and forces that Zhu Yuanzhang wantonly killed and eliminated, he was the only one who left the old department of Haozhou that followed him until the end of his dynasty.

It can be seen that there will be a difference between relatives and aliens, and Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception. What Huaixi twenty-four generals, that is all false, what he really trusts is only the old department of Haozhou.

This is not surprising, now that the whole dynasty knows that this emperor has a pity for Li Qian, how can he easily deal with it? It's a pity that most people can't understand this, they only see the cruel and unkind side of Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is just a small flaw in Zhu Yuanzhang, of course, it cannot be assumed that he will ignore the laws of the country. If he heard about Li Qian's crimes of oppressing the people, running rampant in the township, and corruption, the death penalty was inevitable.

Therefore, for Zhu Yuanzhang, who has a heart to cherish talents, Li Qian's can only be regarded as a small issue------ although he is unlikely to publicly show such an attitude, it is also an indisputable fact that he protects Li Qian.

People who don't have eyesight can't see this for the time being, so in the next few days, there will be more impeachment notes, which were sent to Lao Zhu's dragon book case.

In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang stayed in the middle and chose to remain silent again------

At this time, the imperial historians also became angry, and said in their hearts, Your Majesty, your attitude is not right, why can't we stay prostitutes, Li Qian blatantly violated this rule, but you ignored it, what is the reason?

As a result, the impeachment activity began to evolve from the initial imperial historians to the participation of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Solo, like snowflakes, flew towards Zhu Yuanzhang's dormitory------

This time, Lao Zhu had to express his position, but what he was thinking in his heart was - yo ho, they are all quite stubborn, and you are against the sky! Okay, let's see which guy's words are the most intense, first summon them into the palace to educate and educate!

So, the unlucky guy appeared, and a seven-rank overseer was summoned to the king's front. Or it can also be said that he deliberately sent himself to Zhu Yuanzhang before he wrote the most intense impeachment note.

This person's name is Li Yongfeng, he entered the court through recommendation, and his teacher is Fu Youwen, the right attendant of the household department------ Zhu Yuanzhang once stopped the imperial examination, so the number of officials who entered the imperial examination in the central and central non-imperial examinations accounted for the majority, which is also a major feature of the Hongwu court.

On the same day, when Li Qian's matter reached the capital, Fu Youwen stopped on the steps outside the hall after facing the court, and Li Yongfeng took the initiative to go up. After that, the two chatted casually as they walked, and then heard each other seem to be moved and said: "Li Qianshi is not a pillar of talent." It was such an understatement that his protégé bravely assumed the role of a pioneer officer and began to charge for his mentor------

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a yellow dress with a plate collar and a crown with folded horns and wings. Although the wrinkles on his face are still the same, his sideburns are still as white as snow, and he will not lose his dragon power in the slightest.

At the moment, he was reviewing the excerpts.

After Li Yushi below, he saluted, but saw that he didn't react at all. As soon as I saw this posture, I knew that this was the emperor's intention to dismount himself, so he had to kneel there and wait quietly with his head down.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't react, as if he didn't know he was coming------

Half an hour passed, but Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't react, as if he had long forgotten that he was still kneeling below------

An hour passed------ Zhu Yuanzhang finally raised his head and moved his sore neck, but he didn't even look down, but the old voice came down.

"Here, get up."

"------Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Yushi got up as he said, and then stood respectfully with his head bowed and didn't dare to raise his head. For some reason, as soon as he heard that majestic voice, he felt a burst of weakness in his heart, and he wanted to retreat------
