In the next two months, in addition to reading, Chen Jian went to attend the gatherings of those circles. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After systematically making up some knowledge, although it cannot be said that he is already an elegant and delicate character in the circle, the four words vassal elegance are still worthy of it, and some words that sound very reasonable pop up from time to time, and he can be regarded as a little famous in the circle of young people.

It's just that there is too much money spent in this kind of circle, and the remaining three hundred or so silver coins have already spent a lot. Fortunately, after nearly a year of fermentation, Junzi Orchid has gradually been hyped, and now the highest price in the outside trading market has risen to forty silver coins a pot.

Jian Chen quietly sold more than twenty pots, exchanged them for a thousand silver coins, and took out half of them to maintain his expenses in this circle, and constantly got into some relationships with some people who seemed to be useful in the future.

Zhang Xuannian rarely showed up, and Chen Jian went to look for it a few times, but he was at home to read books, saying that he was going to study in the capital in the autumn.

Sun Zhan's new drama is still being rehearsed, and in Sun Zhan's opinion, this may be a good drama that can sweep the whole country, and the requirements are much higher, and I hope that the drama actors can play their best.

But that kind of entanglement is not easy to play, Sun Zhan has not been too satisfied, and Chen Jian is not in a hurry, just occasionally visit and wait quietly.

He knew very well what he wanted to do, money was the first step, fame was the second step, and combining fame and money to form influence was the third step, and then he could use some methods to drive some merchants and workshop owners to see the wealth overseas and expand outward.

Now that he is not only making money, but also making a name for himself, and now Zhang Xuan is about to go to the capital, which is a good opportunity.

He knew very well what he wanted to do, money was the first step, fame was the second step, and combining fame and money to form influence was the third step, and then he could use some methods to drive some merchants and workshop owners to see the wealth overseas and expand outward.

Therefore, it is necessary to gain more fame, and it cannot be won only in the Mincheng generation, and it is not just the reputation of a playwright.

In the process of waiting for the hype to make black money, Chen Jian also made some other preparations.

After spending some money and going to some magnetic kilns to customize a batch of simple tools for doing experiments, he thought of the pamphlets issued by the Capital Academy, which was the fastest way to become famous.

The people who burned the magnetic kiln thought that what Chen Jian wanted was strange, but if the money was enough, there was nothing that could not be done, and he agreed.

Later, Chen Jian rented a remote riverside hut outside the city as his small laboratory.

The rudimentary test equipment and the riverside hut without protective measures are where Jian Chen prepares to become famous.

After looking through various pamphlets for a long time, Chen Jian chose a relatively simple thing that could be made using these messy and rudimentary equipment.

A lot of animal bones were purchased on the market, calcined into ashes, and crushed with a simple garlic mortar.

The ashes were placed in a quirky set of test-tube-like utensils he had custom-made at the kiln, mixed with ground charcoal powder and silica powder.

Using a simple clay pipe as a connection, heated by coke, the clay pipe is connected to a smooth ceramic basin with cold water in it.

This is a highly toxic test, the product is a lethal dose of only 0.1 gram of white phosphorus, and the calcium phosphate in the ashes will react with charcoal and turn into phosphorus vapor.

These phosphorus vapors flow into cold water from the pottery pipe, and after encountering cold water, they cool and condense, which is the elemental white phosphorus.

The rest of the impurities either dissolved in water or could not evaporate and were still in the porcelain tube, Chen Jian was worried that he would be poisoned, so he ran away after lighting the coke on the pile.

The test under this condition can only be like this, and when the reaction is over, Chen Jian used a cloth bag to wrap a lot of charcoal, plugged his head and face, and only showed his eyes, and looked at the basin.

At the bottom of the basin there are some yellowish solids like earwax, which should be white phosphorus, but the amount is a little small.

Through the water, the white phosphorus inside was scraped together with a pottery stick, and a basin was changed, and it was repeated several times.

Then collect the white phosphorus below into a small pottery bowl, heat it below like cooking rice, without boiling with water, and when it is estimated that forty or fifty degrees, the white phosphorus has slowly melted. Because it sinks more than water, it becomes liquid under water and gradually melts into a ball.

It took two days to collect about a spoonful of solid white phosphorus. It is said that this thing has a foul smell of garlic, and Jian Chen felt that he should not smell it, and it must be a sad story in real history.

When this highly poisonous thing is discovered, there must be all kinds of bitterness, and it is this bitterness that makes human beings move forward step by step.

As a plagiarist, Jian Chen didn't need to make all kinds of attempts, he only needed to write a simple experiment report of what was recorded in the book, claiming that he had discovered a new inseparable, and explaining many things such as ghost fire. He only said that he was extracted from bones, but how to extract it was skipped so as not to be robbed.

This thing can't be exchanged for money, but it can be exchanged for some fame and squeezed into another circle.

…………

One day at the end of April, the weather was already a little hot, Zhang Xuan suddenly came to Chen Jian, saying that he was going to the capital, so he dragged Chen Jian to drink.

The two of them found a wine shop in the city, asked for a private room, ordered a few dishes at random, and asked for a pot of wine.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I'm going to try it in the fall, and I don't want to go to a school that is too difficult to get into, so I'm still a little sure of going to a school that is inferior. Besides, I'm going to be an official in the future, and it's always good to be younger. There happened to be a ship heading north, so I followed it. ”

Zhang Xuan took a sip of wine and sighed: "I'm afraid that I won't see each other for a long time." If I have a holiday, I can come back and have a look, but it will be difficult for the two of us to see each other when we are done. ”

"How?"

"Rules. The office official cannot be a local, as has always been. There's still some chaos in the north, and I'll probably have to go there, starting with the smallest officer. What about you? You're going to military school too, right? ”

Jian Chen nodded carelessly, and didn't say anything about his thoughts.

"You went over there, you don't know the place well, and I don't know if you can do it well."

"It's hard to do anywhere. However, my dad also started as a small official, and he understands some things very well and knows very well, and I have also learned a lot since I was a child, which is easier than those who farm at home. Before leaving, I have to talk to you about something, it's time to read books and learn something, and I'm going to grow up soon, and I have to think about the future. ”

These heartfelt words made Jian Chen a little sentimental, and he forced a smile: "Why do you seem to have suddenly changed as a person?" ”

"After a year, my dad taught me every day, for three months in a row, some things seemed to be understood. I don't understand, my family is too shallow, and it can't be compared with those big families. If your father is lucky, if the people of Qi don't accept the conditions of attachment and really fight, maybe he can make meritorious deeds and become a general, then your life will be better. I can't do it, speaking of which, my dad is also a small tax officer, not in the whole county, it's already over. ”

The two of them talked a lot and drank a lot of wine, and Jian Chen couldn't remember how he got home.
