Chapter 304: Turning Copper into Alchemy

Seeing Tulle nodding happily, he also smiled slightly, and then he turned his face and said to Shen Kuo, who was sitting behind the public desk in the lobby: "Shen joined the army, you ordered this Gentile to strip off his clothes and throw him into the sea, and let him fend for himself." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Everyone in the hall was stunned, even Shen Kuo was confused, but he didn't ask much, anyway, he couldn't understand what the king and the Gentile said, so he said what to do. He drew a lot from the holder on the table, and was about to do as the king said, when he saw Tulle crying out in a panic: "No! why! Thule asked as he looked at the king, and said in his heart, "Why is this man like this, turning his face faster than turning a book?"

The king looked at Thule with sharp eyes: "Tulle, you deceived me that the Great Song Dynasty was very polite to foreigners, and thought that my court officials would not dare to punish you?" ”

Thule said with a look of grievance: "My lord, I was wronged!"

"Are you wronged? ~" Wang Bi snorted coldly: "You pretend not to answer the interrogation truthfully, thinking that my court people don't understand your language, and if you can't communicate, you can't be punished!" But! Why did you just say that you understand our Chinese, since you know Chinese and can still rent a house and buy copper. What are you pretending to be stupid in court? ”

These words of the king were said in Chinese to the letter, and not only Tulle heard them, but even Shen Kuo in the public court and the two classes of errand officers. Shen Kuo suddenly looked at Tule with anger on his face, a good boy dared to make fun of this official. The servants on both sides couldn't help but secretly raise their big fingers, don't look at this prince's age, there is really a set of trials.

Tulle's pale face turned red. He held back a sentence for a long time: "My lord, you said that I have to have evidence for breaking the law!" ”

"Is the evidence?" Wang snorted coldly: "Present the evidence!" ”

As soon as his words fell, the servant did not wait for Shen Kuo to give an order, turned around and went to fetch the stones, wine, lime, etc. that had just been found in the house rented from Tulle and brought them to the court. When they had just brought it back from the courtyard of Tulle, they were still muttering to themselves, "Can they interrogate the Gentiles how to make fake gold?" Now it was different, and the conversation between Wang and Thule in the court was an eye-opener for them. Although he didn't understand it, looking at Tule's happy and panicked expression, he knew that this little prince must have been completely sure.

Several things were placed in the lobby, and Tulle immediately wilted and his head bowed. The king asked, "Thule, what more evidence do you need?" ”

Thule shook his head, and the king shouted, "Then you still don't confess your guilt? Thule immediately replied in Chinese: "I confess, I confess!" ”

There was an uproar in the public hall, it turned out that this guy could speak, and Shen Kuo looked at the king like a monster. Wang Bi felt a little proud in his heart, but he didn't write it on his face, and his inference was correct. And this Tulle understands Chinese. If he doesn't know Chinese, Wang Bi thinks that it is a matter of whether he wants to be a slave or not, but since he knows Chinese, then Wang Bi must let him work by his side!

He looked at Shen Kuo, and said in a relaxed tone: "This king reads that you are a foreigner, in line with the courteous attitude of my Song Dynasty to foreigners, since you are willing to confess your guilt and the fake gold has not been circulated in the world, I will sentence you to be the slave of this king for life, and you can follow me in the future." As for this case, as long as you explain to Shen Senjun how you turned copper into gold, Shen Senjun will let you go. ”

And when the king heard what he said, all the people in the court heard it, and they were very amused in their hearts. If you had encountered such a foreigner in the past, there would have been no countermeasure, and if you didn't know what to do, you would have let them go long ago. It just so happened that this Tule was unlucky, and he met Shen Kuo, a real ghost, who had to figure out how to make fake gold. He was even more unfortunate to meet the king's grace and power, making this Tulle a slave of the king. Looking at Tulle's sincere gratitude to the king, everyone felt even more relieved and funny.

At this time, Tule was convinced by the king, and he never imagined that there would be people in the Great Song Dynasty who knew this method of turning copper into gold. Seeing that even the eldest lord in the hall was respectful to the king, he knew that this person must be a very powerful character in the Song Dynasty. He restrained the arrogance peculiar to the white race, and said respectfully in stumbling Chinese: "I can demonstrate it to adults." It's just that you can only see it as an adult, the prince, and others can't see it! ”

Wang Bi understood that he was forced to have no choice, and he didn't want to be learned this craft: "Don't worry, you will, we Song people will do this, but we don't want to do anything illegal." But I'll give you some face, just let Shen join the army to see it. "Hearing the king say this, Thule is really a little annoyed, this craft is no longer a secret, it seems that he will only have to follow this prince in the future.

Shen Kuo is happy now, and the case is over. Second, he would soon know the secret of turning copper into gold, and he immediately released Tulle and let Tulle obediently follow the king out of the palace. Zhi Kejun and Han Derong, who were waiting outside the palace, were stunned at first when they saw a foreigner brought out by the king's side.

Tulle saw that the two men were the king's guards, and he grinned at them in friendship. Zhi Kejun and Han Derong were shocked, what is the prince doing?

The king took Tulle back to his lodgings, and ordered him to take him to bathe and change his clothes, and to ask him if he came back. Tulle was very honest and obediently followed Zhe Kejun. Su Xiaomei asked, "Husband, why did you bring a foreigner back?" Who is this man? ”

"His name is Tulle, and he will be a slave in our house in the future, but don't really use him as a slave. This man will be useful in the future. After a busy day, the king changed his clothes, sat down and took a big breath.

Su Xiaomei smiled: "It must be useful for you to do this, otherwise you won't bring it back, presumably it will be used to do business with foreigners in the future." ”

"Such a smart lady, I am really blessed to marry me......" Wang praised the little sister, the little sister turned to him, and the little hand beat the shoulder of the king, and the king closed his eyes very comfortably: "By the way, I have to go out tomorrow, and after this Tule shows Brother Shen how to make fake gold, we can set off." ”

"Hmm~ You see you've been busy all day......," she said, wrapping her hand around the king's shoulder.

Wang Fang grabbed her tender little hand: "No, lady, you have nothing to do?!" Tell me, is there something you want to tell me? ”

The little sister blushed, and her little trick was seen through by Wang Bian again: "Well, I want to ask you if your words count?" ”

"What is this called, when did I not count what I promised?"

When Su Xiaomei heard this, she immediately withdrew her hand and moved a round stool to sit opposite Wang: "You said that after you arrive in Yongzhou, will you let me do what I want to do?" Can it be counted? ”

"Count! But first, you have to talk about what you want to do. ”

Su Xiaomei blinked her eyes and said, "Husband, you know so much, do you know Shu Jin?" ”

The king nodded, and Su Xiaomei continued: "Shu brocade arose in the Han Dynasty, and in the Tang Dynasty, there were Japanese slaves, and Persian envoys specialized in learning Shu brocade techniques. Nowadays, the imperial court also established a brocade courtyard in Chengdu to preside over the production of brocade. I want to wait until we get to Yongzhou, and my husband will allow me to open a brocade courtyard there. The husband plans to set up a field in Yongzhou, and I think this Shu brocade business must be easy to do! ”

"Good! I'm 100% supportive! "That's a good thing," replied the king without thinking. Su Xiaomei agreed when she saw that Wang was so happy, and immediately her eyebrows fluttered, and her happy smile was like a flower.

Early the next morning, the king made an appointment with Shen Kuo and asked Tulle to demonstrate how to make fake gold. It turns out that those stones are all minerals, which are tin, magnesium and other substances. I saw that Tulle prepared 16 parts of zinc or tin, 6 parts of magnesium, 16 parts of quicklime, and 9 parts of liquor, and then put an appropriate amount of copper in the tong pot and boiled until it melted, and then added magnesium, lime (respectively) and liquor one by one and stirred, and then added people zinc (tin) grains, and boiled over a high fire. Take the lid of the pot with tongs, open the lid after half an hour, and remove the upper debris. Then when the heat is turned off and the copper has cooled, it becomes gold, which is not only the same color as gold, but also has the same softness, and can be made into any shape of ornament.

Seeing Huang Chengcheng's fake gold just made under his nose, Shen Kuo's curiosity was finally satisfied. Now he can finally rest assured, that night, Shen Kuo held a banquet in the Spring Festival Building to thank Wang Bian again, this time it was really good, because Wang Bian was scheduled to leave tomorrow, and Shen Kuo also decided to go to Beijing on the same day.

It was still Shen Kuo, Wang Bian, and Li Gefei, the atmosphere was more relaxed than last time, Shen Kuo told Li Gefei about Wang Bian's trial of Tule, which made Li Gefei laugh. Li Gefei smiled and said: "Brother Xian, you are really a real person, I didn't know that you would still speak such a foreign language." You must teach me when you have time! ”

Wang Fang thought to himself, don't say you don't know, I myself am playing a drum and saying it. I thought I was an ordinary person and had no skills, but this coincidental crossing, this strange stone made me a person who was well-versed in ancient and modern times. However, Shen Kuo praised him, and he was still quite happy: "It's nothing, when I go back and open the academy, just add a course, it's called a foreign language!" Train more professional translators, and Brother Shen will be able to come and learn at any time. ”

"Uh-huh! Okay, that's it, now you tell me how to say it in this foreign language. ”

"Love-i" Wang said to Shen Kuo with a smile, "What about you?" Shen Kuo asked again.

"Again, you!" This Shen Kuo's expression was so serious, and Wang Bian also taught him seriously.

Shen Kuo nodded, he raised his glass: "Okay, good, I'll give my brother a glass!" I serve you! I serve you! ”

Li Gefei also raised his glass as if coaxing: "I also served you!" The three of them laughed together.

Wang next to Su Xiaomei, the team left Yangzhou, first back to Linchuan so that Su Xiaomei saw her parents, this time to Linchuan, Wang next to the side in addition to more Su Xiaomei, but also more Li Jie and a tall horse, blonde and blue-eyed foreigners. Wherever the king goes, it is eye-catching enough, and this Tulle is even more eye-catching. Even Wang Anshi couldn't cry or laugh because he accepted a foreign slave next to the king. They stayed in Linchuan for another two days, and then rushed to Yongzhou.
