Chapter 126: Nitrate Pond (Explosion 17)
The time is ripe, and it is naturally possible to produce osmanthus soap in large quantities. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There is nothing else at home, the largest amount is plant ash, plus a large pile of Mao parents accumulated over the years, it should not be a big problem to use it for a year.
There are also problems, such as the absence of grease.
The biggest raw material for making osmanthus soap is oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, as long as it is oily things, and even olive oil and processed petroleum can be used.
Just do it, let a man go to the town with money to buy two carts full of rapeseed oil, as much as 2,000 catties, and after transporting it to the bottom of the mountain, it needs to be carried to the mountain by manpower.
Liu Yuanshan originally wanted to mobilize the people on the mountain to move together, and it would be over after a few trips back and forth, but he didn't expect many people in Liujia Village to be stammered, so they came to help, and everyone used it together, so they moved the rapeseed oil up the mountain and put it in the front yard of Liu's house.
Liu Yanran came out to laugh and leave everyone to eat, and everyone was embarrassed, and praised Liu Yanran for getting more and more beautiful, and then went back.
Since the alkaline water in the plant ash has not been extracted in time, Liu Yuanshan can only put the rapeseed oil in the yard first, and then it can be made on a large scale after the alkaline water is extracted.
Liu Yuanshan was not idle, and in the afternoon, he organized all his subordinates to go down the mountain together and began to collect another thing that was quite important to him: feces and urine!
The name of the urine collector is not called for nothing, this big clay pot was exchanged for a large osmanthus soap.
More than 20 subordinates went out in unison, and the whole village suddenly jumped up and down, and everyone sent people out, holding a stinky clay pot and pinching their noses and running in front of Liu Yuanshan.
"You, Aunt Wang, why is there outside your clay pot, and you don't wipe it clean when you come out, how can I take it away?" Edamame looked at that disgusting thing and complained.
Covering my mouth all my life, I felt like I was going to vomit.
Ergua ran to a slightly higher place, put his hands together into a horn, and shouted to the villagers: "Aunt Aunt and aunts and grandmothers, each family will carry the jars to the gate of the temple, and only change the osmanthus soap when they get there!" ”
Crowd "Hey! After a while, they couldn't help but complain a few words, but thinking that a piece of osmanthus soap was worth one or two silver, they didn't complain, and one by one they reluctantly held the rancid and smelly clay pot and walked towards the mountain.
The footsteps of the villagers stopped at the gate of the temple, and Liu Yuanshan asked his subordinates to exchange the jar into a large piece of osmanthus soap in front of the Qianning Temple, and then agreed with everyone to receive the jar again, and sent everyone to the bottom of the mountain.
This vigorous movement had already alarmed the second uncle Mao who was also on the mountain, and he also came to help, and when the people moved all the feces and urine jars to the several pools dug in the shade of the mountain col before, Liu Yuanshan ordered people to pour all the feces and urine on the sand layer in the pool.
At the bottom of the pond is a layer of green bricks, on top of which is a layer of sand about ten centimeters thick, and it is not the end after pouring feces and urine on the sand layer.
Second Uncle Mao looked at these pools, his face became more and more serious, and when he finally determined that the purpose of Liu Yuanshan's pools and feces and urine was exactly the same as his conjecture, the seriousness on his face turned into worry.
"San Lang, come here!" Second Uncle Mao waved his hand in the distance.
Liu Yuanshan ran over with a smile on his face.
Second Uncle Mao directly ignored his harmless smile and asked worriedly, "Are you, Nitrate?" ”
The smile on Liu Yuanshan's face suddenly froze, looking quite embarrassed, and he had a feeling that someone had seen through the bottom of his pants at a glance, so he had to admit it curtly and said, "Second Uncle Mao saw it." ”
Second Uncle Mao had been in the army before, so he had naturally seen the nitrate pond, and he had done it himself, so he naturally knew what it meant for Liu Yuanshan to come up with this thing at the moment.
"San Lang!" Second Uncle Mao found a nearby stone to sit down, and said in a serious tone: "You are a very reassuring child, Second Uncle didn't want to ask more about your affairs, but do you know what it means to be a nitrate?" ”
Even when he was in the army, the nitrate pond was a strictly confidential job, and he was only assigned a job of pouring urine and, as for how to build the nitrate, how to collect fire and salt, etc., he didn't know much.
As far as he knew, at least four groups of people were involved in the whole process of making the nitre, in order to prevent the technology of the nitrate from spreading to the people and threatening the position of the ruler.
What is Fire Nitrate?
It is the most important material for making gunpowder, and with gunpowder, it is equivalent to gunpowder.
Even Jianzhou Tartar doesn't know how to make this kind of thing, how can San Lang know the whole process of making fire nitrate at a young age?
Second Uncle Mao was worried and happy at the same time.
Liu Yuanshan took a deep breath of the slightly smelly air, and said to Second Uncle Mao with some seriousness: "Second Uncle Mao, I admit that I make gunpowder to make gunpowder. ”
Looking at Liu Yuanshan's calm face, Second Uncle Mao couldn't help but shake his head, wanting to scold loudly but was afraid that others would hear it, so he had to lower his voice in a very stern tone: "You are tossing blindly, it is not easy for your mother and your sister to have a good life today, if you let the government know that you are secretly making gunpowder here, do you know what will happen?" ”
"Destroy the Nine Clans, Ling Chi will be executed!" Second Uncle Mao's originally dark purple face was glowing red.
"You have a bright future at a young age, but you don't want to make progress and engage in these evil ways. You ......" Second Uncle Mao was angry, if he was not facing Liu Yuanshan today but another unrelated person, he wouldn't mind letting the government go directly to greet the other party's hometown.
"Good day?" Liu Yuanshan's face showed a look of mockery, he lowered his body and sat next to Second Uncle Mao, squinting slightly at the sky in front of him, his childish face and a pair of eyes seemed to be full of vicissitudes that could directly survey the sky, "Second Uncle Mao, I will do this precisely to let my mother and my sister live a good life." ”
"You're using strong words!" Second Uncle Mao's anger was a little less, but his complexion was still not good-looking.
"Don't be angry, it's not good to be angry!" Liu Yuanshan snapped his fingers and calculated: "This year is the third year of Chongzhen, Second Uncle Mao should know that there was a great drought in Shaanxi last year, and Gao Yingxiang had gathered 100,000 people to rebel in Yanqing Mansion in winter." ”
"What, you still want to echo him?" Second Uncle Mao's face was full of sternness.
As soon as he learned that Liu Yuanshan had made fire, thinking of his strange behaviors such as training on weekdays, Second Uncle Mao's first impression had positioned Liu Yuanshan as a thief.
Second Uncle Mao laughed, how can the kid dare to echo such a big demon king. I'm just protecting myself! Liu Yuanshan smiled coldly and continued: "The drought in Shaanxi, if it continues for many years, there will definitely be more people who will rise up, and if the thieves can't go east out of Tongguan, they will inevitably lead troops to the south. Will my mother and I have a good life? (To be continued.) )
