After Zhou came in to the main house, there were a total of seven straight row rooms, and the main room was one zhang and a half distance away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info Then he looked to the west, and it was all woods, and he felt that it was too desolate, so he pointed to the outside of the west wall and said, "Beat the wall and build a garden over there." β
After the things of the house were arranged, Song Cheng came over with a thermometer. When he handed it to Zhou Jin, he said, "Fourth Master, the thermometer has been done according to your requirements." β
Zhou Jin took the thermometer with the thickness of his little finger, looked at it and said, "Are you sure you empty the air inside?" β
"Sure, I'll make a thin glass tube, then heat the mercury, fill the tube, and seal the tube with a gas spray."
Zhou Jin smiled: "You can really do it, you can still use gas." β
Song Cheng said with a smile: "This is what Sun Gancai taught me, when he was helping the blacksmith make iron, he found that the fire could easily melt the nails, much faster than charcoal, so I wanted to melt the glass." β
"Good, that's a good idea. Wait and get ten taels of silver. Zhou Jin then said to Zhou Hong: "I want to use this thermometer, you go and see if there is any ice, if there is any, break the ice and mix it with cold water and bring it immediately." β
Zhou Hong brought a basin of water over after a while, and Zhou Jin tried it, and the mercury really went down. Then I used a brush to make a mark in one place. Then Jean brought another pot of boiling water, and when he inserted it, the mercury rose to two-thirds of its length, and continued to make a mark.
Zhou Jin then said: "The mark of this ice water is called zero degrees, and the mark of this boiling water is called 100 degrees. The length is divided into one hundred parts, one degree per serving. Your thermometer can only measure 150 degrees. You want to find a thermometer with an energy of 300 degrees and a temperature of minus 10 degrees. You can use this as a reference, and you should note that mercury turns into air at 350 degrees, so the temperature should not be too high when you fill the mercury. β
Song Cheng went down happily. Zhou Jin and Zhou Hong came to a room in the training yard, in which more than 200 catties of saltpeter and more than 500 catties of pyrite were placed, only more than 10 catties of gall alum, and the other half of the room was full of copper ore. Zhou Jin was very dissatisfied with the amount of saltpeter, but there was no way. You can only make something like platinum first, and then synthesize nitric acid.
So he called Sun Gancai and two blacksmiths: "This is another thousand catties of copper ore, and you extract a metal from it, which is slightly lighter than gold but heavier than silver in the same size." Silvery-white. But this thing is very difficult to melt, and the melting temperature is more than 1,700 degrees. You ask Song Cheng about this temperature, and he will tell you. Then you burn the bilelums by burning coal. You will get a corrosive liquid called alum oil, which you will use to soak what has not melted at the end. It's possible that whatever melts is the metal I want you to extract. Of course, the content of this kind of thing is very low, and it is possible that there is none. β
Zhou Jin said solemnly: "This metal is very important, you have to be careful." β
After they understood, Zhou Jin told them that they needed to extract another catalyst: "Didn't you get some coal fried, burn those cinders at a temperature of about 800 degrees for an hour to an hour and a half, and be careful not to melt them." After getting it done, give it to me along with the alumite oil mentioned earlier. β
"Besides, you'll have to make me a needle, it's as thin as a needle, but the core of the needle is hollow, and it's actually a very thin tube, the length of a needle. Then there's the needle, one end that can be snapped onto other tubes, and the other end that is so sharp that it can pierce the skin. β
The three of them listened carefully and left. By noon the next day, Zhou Jinyao's thermometer had been manufactured. Platinum was also made, and a thousand catties of copper finally got a penny of platinum, and the yield was as high as one part per million.
Zhou Hong said in surprise: "Fourth master, it's only such a small trace, it's too little." β
Zhou Jin smiled: "That's quite a lot." Yes, continue to refine, at least one or two will be refined. β
When Song Cheng heard this, he said in surprise: "According to this amount, it will be 100,000 catties of copper ore." β
Zhou Jin said: "100,000 is 100,000, Zhou Hong, you continue to buy, don't buy in one mine, find a few more places." Song Cheng, you make me a tube next, with thick fingers and a small mouth at the front. In addition, you have to make a solid rod that can be inserted into the tube, and the rod should be able to pull and push, but not easily slide out on its own. β
After the rest of the people left, Zhou Jin began to distill alcohol in a casserole, and soon got a lot of alcohol, and then began to extract cyclosporine from the fermenting fungal liquid until the evening, and finally got two or three taels of finished products. So the needle hadn't been made yet, so he had to wait.
The next day, Li Yu and Huang Shuanghui came to the courtyard to check the situation of the house and prepare to arrange their house. When they entered the courtyard, they didn't see Zhou coming in or out, and when they inquired, they hadn't gotten up yet.
Li Yu asked Zhou Hong's wife, who had already moved here: "Has Aunt You gotten up?" β
Of course, Zhou Hong's wife understood what this meant: "Madam, she hasn't been back here since she went back a year ago, and has been with her son." β
Li Yu smiled and asked, "What did the young master do yesterday?" β
"I heard my man say, the young master is giving medicine to the young lady? I didn't go to bed until midnight. β
After Li Yu heard this, he walked to the back room and said to Huang Shuanghui: "Huihui, look, the fourth brother loves you a lot." β
"The fourth brother loves you the most, sister, you see that after a month of marriage, you will be pregnant."
"If you're not in bad health, you'll get pregnant soon. When he heals you, you'll know. Li Yu blushed and said, "If it weren't for me having the reaction to being pregnant so soon, he wouldn't have let me go." β
Huang Shuanghui smiled but didn't continue, but said, "Don't talk about him, let's see how this house is arranged." It's so big, it's empty and tight if you don't put something. β
Li Yu looked at it, nodded, and the two began to discuss, what screen window color, seats, beds, pendants, etc., chatted happily. When he returned to the front, Zhou Jin had already gotten up and was talking to Zhou Yong, who had arrived.
Li Yu and Huang Shuanghui nodded and said, "Big brother is here." β
Zhou Yong stood up and said, "Yu ...... Ah, the two siblings are too? β
Li Yu and Huang Shuanghui sat on the chairs next to Zhou Jin. Li Yu said with a smile: "I just went to the back house to take a look, if you arrange things." What is the big brother doing here? β
Zhou Yongfu sat down and said, "Discuss some things with Sidi." β
Zhou Jin continued: "Do you see these windows? It's all glass. β
Huang Shuanghui smiled: "I saw it as soon as I came in, it was much brighter than the screen window." β
"Big brother wants to use this recipe to burn this kind of glass. At present, this firing method is known only to me and one of the kiln craftsmen here. β
After Li Yu heard this, he smiled and said, "I heard that foreigners buy this kind of thing at a high price." After Zhou Hong came back and told me, I told the fourth brother to let Xiuwen open a shop to sell this kind of thing. Doesn't he like to do business, and it can be regarded as helping him achieve it. β
Zhou Yong felt very uncomfortable, what does this mean, he didn't want to give it to me, but to an outsider, but he couldn't say his thoughts directly, because he didn't understand what Zhou Jin was thinking now, this younger brother had a much more decisive temperament since he was evil, and he also made things like a bandit's nest, so Zhou Yong had to put down his body and find a reason to say: "Xiuwen is still young, so let's go to the store to study first." Don't rush to open your own store. β
Li Yu looked at Zhou Jin, and saw that he was drinking tea, and he didn't seem to be awake, so he felt that he still couldn't give up, and said: "Xiuwen will be the owner in the future, and he can't make friends in business when he is an apprentice, what's the use." β
Zhou Yong saw that Zhou Jin didn't speak, so he asked, "Fourth, tell me your opinion now." This glass is going to make a lot of money. β
After Zhou Jinfang got out of the teacup, he thought for a while: "I still want to improve this glass, so I won't tell you the production method first." When I'm done, you'll sell it. What about Xiuwen, let's do this, so that even if Xiuwen is exercised, the eldest brother can sell this glass, isn't it great? What do you think? β
Of course, Zhou Yong understood that Zhou Jin was unwilling to give it to him, but he couldn't help it at the moment. He also inquired about Zhou Hong, but Zhou Hong didn't tell him anything, and he didn't know if it was true or false. In addition to the fire, Zhou Yong had to sigh that Zhou Jin's aftermath of the board incident had won the loyalty of so many people.
In fact, neither Zhou Yong nor Zhou Jin noticed that among the newly recruited guards, fifty of them had families, and all of their families were now converted into servants in other courtyards, which meant that their net worth interests had been tied to Zhou Jin. It's not that there are no side effects, it's just that in this situation, they can be guaranteed to loyalty.
Zhou Yong thought about it and agreed to Zhou Jin's plan, and left to go back to the city after a little chat.
After Zhou Jin put the eldest brother in the carriage and left, he hugged the two daughters-in-law and said, "Two babies, go in quickly." It's still cold. β
Back in the study of the main house, Zhou Jin still didn't let go of the two: "Come, sit on one leg." β
The two wanted to dodge, but Zhou Jin was tall and long-armed, and neither of them broke free, so they had to sit on their laps.
Zhou Jin kissed him: "Why don't you stay at home, come here." The house hasn't been decorated yet. Didn't you miss me? As he spoke, his hands were still moving around.
Huang Shuanghui was tickled by him, leaned on Zhou Jin's shoulder and said shyly: "What about this study, don't make trouble." β
Li Yu was pregnant after all, so she didn't react so much, but she talked about what happened just now: "Fourth brother, you won't blame me for saying that I just said that I would let Xiuwen run the glass." β
Zhou Jin slapped Li Yu on the pretty buttocks: "If you dare to act without permission in the future, you will never be spared." β
After all, there was a person sitting opposite, Li Yu was as cheeky as Zhou Jin, and immediately blushed, and complained in a long voice: "Fourth brother! I'll get down to business with you. β
When Huang Shuanghui heard this coquettish cry, she immediately laughed: "Sister, listen to the cry." β
"Nasty!"
Zhou Jin rubbed the place where she was photographed and said: "Originally, I wanted to find someone else to do this, since you want Xiuwen to do it, let him do it." β
"Really?"
"Really." Zhou Jin looked at the two and said, "Where are you staying tonight?" I don't want the two of you to stay in bed, and I can see and feel the panic. β
Li Yu said: "What do you think, you just sleep in the study." β
Zhou Jin said with a bitter face: "How deserted is the study. β
Li Yu said: "Then let Yujuan accompany you." β
Hui Hui said: "I think it's better to let Huan'er accompany the fourth brother." Yujuan still has to serve you, sister. β
Zhou Jin smiled: "I'm joking, you guys are still serious." I guess it's almost time to eat. Then he asked aloud, "Is lunch ready?" Starving! β
Li Min ran in and said, "It's done, I'm about to call you." β
