After inspecting the construction of the embankment, Liu Chan was about to return to his home, but after thinking about it, he turned around and walked towards the cultivated land outside the city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Shu naturally lives up to the reputation of the country of abundance, and the grain output per mu is more than ten percent higher than that of other places. Moreover, compared with other places, Yizhou, which is separated by continuous mountains, has not experienced much war in its own territory, but there is no embarrassing situation where there is no one to cultivate it.

But even so, in Liu Chan's view, this seemingly leading farming situation is actually just a kind of population recovery, enjoying the demographic dividend. However, the various taxes and taxes that do not change the soup and the poll tax are not a big problem today when every peasant household has many acres of fertile land, but in the long run, after the population skyrockets, there will be a situation where the same tax will be levied, but the acres of land owned will be very different.

Even Liu Chan, who is not proficient in this, can clearly meet the consequences, because the lesson from the past is the Han Dynasty, which is now declining to the end.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion is the best example of this, where farmers can't even pay their taxes for a year's work, so who is going to farm? Abandoning the land and becoming a homeless person will naturally change people's minds.

"It seems that the reform of the tax system must also be put on the agenda."

Liu Chan shook his head, only feeling that there was a long way to go in the future.

However, at the present stage, the most important thing is not taxation, and it will have to wait several decades for problems in this regard, and what is now in front of us is to expand grain production and arouse the enthusiasm of the peasants.

"I wonder how that guy is doing? It really wasted a lot of effort to get it out of the refining method of the five-color stone. ”

……

The middle-aged warlock who had been nagging Liu Chan was staring at the slide that came out horizontally in the iron furnace in front of him without blinking.

Of course, the sulfuric acid that flowed out of it was not sulfuric acid, and the preparation of sulfuric acid was temporarily pressed back by Liu Chan. What Ma Husi is firing now is the "experimental equipment" made of five-color stones, and in Liu Chan's words, at this time, sharpening knives is not a mistake for chopping wood.

"I didn't expect such a learned person to speak so vulgarly? But it's really easy to understand. ”

Ma Huhei, who offered to help Liu Chan burn the five-color stone, only knew that he was in the trap again after discovering the other party's extremely immature firing utensils, but he was not depressed because of this.

Because after a few thoughts, he had already decided to stay.

What can make it change like this is nothing else, but it is the Shu Academy in Liu Chan's mansion. Years of walking the world have made him develop the temperament of idle clouds and wild cranes, but he also inevitably has a little fatigue under the drift. Of course, these emotions really don't match what people call charlatans.

"Just stay in the Shu Academy of Sciences...... That's right, it's 'doing research', so as to stay away from the strife of the outside world, and I don't have to rack my brains to cheat money to survive, why didn't I think of this kind of day? After knowing the monthly wages of those Mo family members, Ma Husi patted his head and scolded himself half to death in his heart.

He was now wondering why Liu Chan hadn't gone to him earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have had to be displaced for so many years.

Having said that, the five-color stone he was refining at this time was really not an easy thing to make up.

Glass has the reputation of being the same in the world, but behind this sentence is that each glass product will be more or less different because of the pure handmade production of craftsmen. This factor is great when put on a work of art, but when it is put on an industrial make, it is a disaster.

To make a batch of Liu Chan's full set of "glass equipment" in this way, in Ma Huhei's opinion, it is simply impossible, because the former's requirements are too high, what do you want for each one...... Yes, the diameter and length of the "test tube" should be the same, and any "tube" can be joined to each other, and the color should be as close to transparent as possible!

You must know that it was the vial that contained sulfuric acid before, which was refined by Zhang Jiao after countless hard work and luck before he was alive!

However, Ma Huhei, who scolded the other layman in his heart, only felt a little pain in his face after Liu Chan took out a slender leather cloth engraved with horizontal strips and a measuring object with a wooden frame and iron mark.

"It's a tape measure and vernier caliper." Before refining it, Liu Chan handed him these two things, "The scale above is different from today's measurement standard, through my re-planning, it is divided into millimeters, centimeters, decimeters, meters, and as for the larger units of measurement in the future, I will talk about it in a future course." Now you just have to make it according to the drawings and these standard units of measurement. ”

After going around for a long time to understand what the other party's terms meant, Ma Huhei was suddenly shocked, the other party's knowledge can no longer be described by Bogu Tongjin, after all, many things have never been before!

For the first time, Ma Huji began to suspect that there really was a person in this world who was born to know, so much so that every morning he picked up the Taoist art that he had thrown aside a long time ago, in order to find the Great Dao one day......

"Zizi, Zizi"

A sound from above the slip pulled Matotsugu's thoughts back to reality, and he hurried to concentrate.

Now is the most critical step, that is, the molten glass raw material is poured into the wax mold, if there is a little mistake in the middle, the hand shakes slightly, it will form empty D or bubbles, so that the result can only be waste.

Although Ma Huji is middle-aged, he hasn't touched these things for a few years, but the assault training all day and night in the past few days has made him regain some of the feeling of youth, coupled with the calmness and smoothness of the middle-aged person, sometimes the state is surprisingly good.

His hand on the wooden vises trembled like a stone, and did not deviate from its position except for the necessary movements, and the molten y's poured from above flowed down like sand in an hourglass, without haste or slowness, and he knew the way of a long stream.

"It's too up-and-coming star, and the strain doesn't stop. Exorcise evil spirits and bind charms, save your life......"

On the side, the people of the Mo family who had started their hands listened to the middle-aged uncle chanting the mantra there. There is no distinction between sects and ranks in the Shu Academy of Sciences, and the dispute between teaching and other is because everyone is a student of the young master Liu Chan.

"Eh, listen, Uncle Ma is much more fluent in reading today, and he stammered two days ago, and the more he reads, the worse it gets."

"Who says it isn't, I heard that these days he gets up early every day and meditates, humming, and no one knows what he's talking about."

"Hey, if only our Mo family also had a spell, at least we could pretend to be a master of the world."

A few people from the Mo family who were chatting in a low voice were thinking about going back to the ancient books at the moment, no matter how they said it, they would also find a few unfathomable and incomprehensible ancient sayings, so that they would not lose face in front of other schools in the future......
