Chapter 351: Whole Life, Saltpeter Ice Making!
"My subordinates understand!"
Zhuge Liang nodded,
Chu Feng took such a fancy to him and handed over such a task to him, which could be regarded as an incomparable trust in him, otherwise it would be unimaginable if this thing alone was handed over to Cao Cao.
"Lord, the things have been fetched!"
While everyone was talking, Xu Chu wiped the sweat stains and brought people back, for the things Chu Feng said, he found a lot of places.
"Saltpeter? General Xu, what are you doing with this? Zhuge Liang saw that Xu Chu was holding a large bag of saltpeter in his hand, and he couldn't help but be curious, and he had a lot of this thing here.
Looking at Xu Chu like this, it seems that he was looking for it everywhere.
"Strategist, the lord uses it to make ice!" Xu Chu scratched his head, he didn't understand why this thing could make ice, there seemed to be a lot of this thing Zhuge Liang here.
I didn't even think about it.
"Ice-making?" Zhuge Liang was stunned, looked at Chu Feng in surprise, and said with a look of disbelief: "Lord, this thing can still make ice?" ”
If other people said this, Zhuge Liang would never believe it, but Chu Feng said this, then there is a high probability that it is true, Zhuge Liang is Chu Feng's little fan brother at the moment,
I was convinced of what Chu Feng said!
"It should be possible, saltpeter dissolved in water will absorb heat, so that the aqueous solution will drop to the freezing point, of course, this will be tried to see if it can work!"
Chu Feng touched his nose, and it wasn't for him that he was sure,
However, he wrote before, and did write about saltpeter ice, the principle is that saltpeter can absorb heat, reduce the temperature of the water, and thus freeze the edible water source through temperature conduction.
It's just that he hasn't actually done it either, and the ghost knows if it's a lie on the Internet!
"My lord, why do you want to make ice? Now it's cold outside, and there is ice in the moat outside the city, so why bother? Wouldn't it be okay to just let people go to the river to pick ice? ”
Zhuge Liang was curious, and he was also curious about the feasibility of making ice from saltpeter, this was definitely something he had never heard of, and sure enough, he could only gain insight by following Chu Feng.
"It's mainly Xingba who raised a question, he said that it is recommended that fish, shrimp and crabs caught at sea be transported to the mainland, and fish, shrimp and crabs should not be stored and must be refrigerated, so I want to try!"
"And it is indeed imperative to develop the ocean, there are extremely large quantities of fish and shrimp in the sea, as well as all kinds of things needed in the mainland, which can facilitate the lives of the people."
"For example, the sperm whale, the grease in its head can be used to make candles or industrial lubricants, in short, it is extremely necessary to develop the sea, and in the future, it will also need maritime trade!"
Chu Feng briefly explained why he did this,
When everyone heard this, they said that their boss still thought about it far, and what kind of sperm whale was it, and even the oil in its head could think of what to do with it.
This talent alone is indeed against the sky.
"Catching fish, shrimp and crabs?" Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows, couldn't help but nodded, and said very approvingly: "With our army's current navigation ability, it is indeed feasible to fish the sea." ”
"With the abundant products of the sea, it can definitely make people's lives go further."
Chu Feng chuckled, noncommittal,
"Now that you've got everything, let's try it!" Chu Feng smiled warmly, and immediately said: "Go, get some more water, and by the way, I'm bringing two basins of the same size, the smaller one wants a copper basin and a weighing stone!" ”
After Chu Feng finished explaining, the guards immediately went to prepare.
On the one hand, they were discussing whether this thing could be done, but more often they were looking at the place where Fang had just experimented with detonating explosives, and their excitement had not yet subsided.
With such a powerful explosive, unification is imperative!
However, looking at Chu Feng's intentions at the moment, it seems that they are not in a hurry, Lu Su, Jia Xu and the others even glanced at each other, all thinking about Chu Feng's intentions, and Lu Su seemed to have guessed something in his heart.
Although I am not sure, nine times out of ten it is the nationalization of land!
Chu Feng had mentioned the nationalization of land to him many times, and his first feeling after listening to it was indeed shocking, although it moved the interests of the family, but no one could touch the core interests of the country.
In this way, there will be no land annexation after hundreds of years, and the relationship between local families and the common people will be better eased, which is definitely a policy for the ages.
But once the whole policy is implemented, it will be the enemy of the world, just like the state confiscated more than half of your family's foundation at one time, and no one will be happy!
The reason why Chu Feng is not in a hurry to unify is, on the one hand, to work steadily, run the Central Plains, accelerate development, and form an absolute crush, so that the family does not dare to jump.
Second, it is also to see that considering the introduction of this system in this way will not change the whole country.
After all, the state-owned land will also hurt the hearts of some people, and if the people can't understand it, it is very likely that they will lose the prestige that Chu Feng has been operating for many years.
Thinking of this, Lu Su was silent.
He doesn't want to read too much into the state ownership of land,
I'm afraid that Chu Feng himself hasn't thought about the specific direction of development, how can he analyze it as a minister.
After a while, the guards picked up a few large items.
Chu Feng personally started the operation, Baidu was over when he wrote the book, if Baidu didn't lie to him, it should be feasible.
Immediately, he poured water into the big wooden basin, and before pouring it, Chu Feng specially weighed it, if he remembered correctly, the ratio of water to potassium nitrate was less than four to one,
Everyone gathered in a circle, revealing solemnity one after another.
This kind of thing is refreshing their cognition all the time, after all, once it is feasible, it is relatively normal for them to eat cold drinks at home in the summer.
When potassium nitrate meets water, it reacts instantaneously.
Dissolved quickly and then absorbed heat, Chu Feng put his fingers in and obviously felt that the water temperature before and after was different, this was a slow process, but the water temperature was not as cold as he imagined!
"Potassium nitrate is dissolved in water and cannot be eaten directly!"
"Therefore, it is necessary to use bronze with better thermal conductivity as a medium, and add edible water to the bronze container, so as to use the thermal conductivity to replace the water in the bronze container for freezing."
Chu Feng explained while putting in the copper basin.
The main thing is that he makes ice to transport edible things, and there is no room for sloppiness!
Everyone nodded as if they didn't understand, no way, these things are all new knowledge points to put it bluntly, Chu Feng didn't say that they really didn't necessarily know the reason.
"Lord, there is something I don't understand about my subordinates!"
Tian Feng looked at the copper basin and the potassium nitrate that had just been added, and couldn't help but ask.
"Tell me about it!" Chu Feng was curious.
"My lord, just such a little bit of water needs so much potassium nitrate, and it may take countless quantities to make ice, where will you get so much potassium nitrate at that time?"
"And isn't the cost of such transportation too high?" Tian Feng frowned and asked curiously.
"It's very well said, first, potassium nitrate soluble in water can be distilled and crystallized or crystallized in the sun, so that it can be reused repeatedly without too much loss."
"Second, we must support such policies that benefit the country and the people in the early stage, and then promote them after each process is familiar with the scale."
"It's normal to lose money in the early stages, but it's important to improve people's living standards, and then we have to build deep-water ports in several coastal areas that can be used to dock ships."
Chu Feng gave a simple answer,
"Can you reuse it?" The crowd sighed,
And in the copper basin, you can already see a slight frost feeling.
"If this can really be done, when the ice factory is built in the coastal caves to increase efficiency, the cave will be very efficient." Chu Feng analyzed.
Everyone nodded their heads in approval.
The process of icing is still relatively slow, especially when the amount of small pots is not so large, and it often takes a long time to freeze, and everyone can't help but talk about it here.
"Wait, it is estimated that it will take a long time to conduct and freeze!" Chu Feng shrugged his shoulders, and suddenly missed the days when he had a military line.
"Lord, today we are building in the area, and countless money has been invested, although we can keep printing money, but I am worried that if it continues like this, it will cause inflation!"
Lu Su is talking about government affairs at the moment!
He knows the currency thing, Dong Zhuo issued currency on a large scale in order to make money, which eventually led to the depreciation of the currency, which can be big or small.
"How much are you throwing out now?" Chu Feng asked weakly.
"For the whole of last year, including military spending, all walks of life exceeded the estimated expenditure by at least 24 billion!" Lu Su's voice trembled and said,
"Damn, so many? How is it spent? Chu Feng burst into a foul mouth, and his heart was shocked.
More than 24 billion, this Nima is still exceeded, counting everything, wouldn't it cost more than 30 billion?
Good guy, do you have such a way to spend money?
"Lord, you don't mean to increase this construction, or increase that investment, it's like building bridges and paving roads, building schools, building docks, and so on!"
"All of these costs money! And right now, my lord, you are either exempt from taxes in this place, or exempt from taxes in that place, how can the finances not be in deficit! ”
Lu Su is bitter in his heart, and he can't help it!
"Ahem, that's right!" Chu Feng didn't want to admit it, but he had learned before that when the Han was strong and stable, his annual income was only 10 billion.
And his population is about 40 million, and he has a population of more than 10 million at the moment, but he spends 30 billion a year, good guy, and fortunately he can print money.
But this money is distributed to 15 million people, and the per capita income is 2,000 yuan, which is indeed a bit high, and it is indeed necessary to pay attention, it is estimated that if it were not for the Mi family to control this businessman, I am afraid that it would have been a long time ago...
"In this way, once again emphasize to inform the people that they should consume more, stimulate business, and increase business diversification, only in this way can we continue to invest money in the market and carry out a virtuous circle!"
"The whole economy is like a lake of water, whether it is dead water or living water, it depends on our operation!" Chu Feng said solemnly, consumption must be stimulated at any time,
The purpose of giving money to the people is to let them spend it!
If they save all their money and don't stimulate commerce, then there will be no goods flowing to the market, and the end result will be doomed and the currency will depreciate.
Including the currency is depreciating now,
Chu Feng is already in the over-issuance of currency for infrastructure construction,
But the money for these infrastructure projects eventually went to the people.
Lu Su nodded,
On the side, Jia Xu chuckled and said: "Lord, since it is to stimulate economic consumption, it is better to include this in the law, such as how many people in the family do what work, and how much does it cost at least every year, you see?" ”
"No, economic consumption is by no means compulsory consumption!"
Chu Feng waved his hand and directly vetoed it.
"But my lord, now we are lowering taxes everywhere, and we don't have to levy conscription, and the fiscal expenditure has always been a huge deficit, and it is very serious,"
"Coupled with the agreement we made with the family, how much money we have to give them every year, these will eventually flow to the market, if it weren't for our firm to control prices, I'm afraid it would have skyrocketed I don't know how much!"
Jia Xu frowned and said helplessly.
The economy under Chu Feng's rule is very delicate, and if he is not careful, he is likely to collapse, but fortunately, it is Chu Feng, and the people have absolute trust in him, and if it were someone else, it would have collapsed a long time ago.
Chu Feng nodded, agreeing to this matter.
At present, although he is prosperous under his rule, the prosperity is the cost of the government's overdraft.
How can you boost your income or stimulate consumption?
Chu Feng fell into contemplation for a while!
"Lord, it is better to increase the collection of taxes, so as to reduce the amount of money held by the people and reduce inflation!" Frustrated suggested.
It was the first time he had seen such money in the hands of the people of a country.
Now that I am recruiting more than 30 workers a day, I still have to eat, you know, in the past, all of them were forced labor, free of charge, and the gap between them is not the same.
In addition, there are many infrastructure thieves in various places, and the cost of personnel alone is astronomical.
"No, increasing taxes will not stimulate consumption, and if you want to recover the currency, it would be better to go back to forced labor, wouldn't it be more convenient?"
Chu Feng waved his hand again and vetoed.
Everyone was also in deep thought for a while,
This thing is really a bit of a problem!
At this moment, Chu Fengtong's hole shrank, and he suddenly thought of a point, maybe this thing can stimulate consumption, no, it must stimulate consumption.
Mother-in-law!
The reason for the low status of women in ancient times, on the one hand, was that in order to increase taxes, the state stipulated that women had to get married at the age of fifteen.
If you don't get married, you have to pay five times the tax of ordinary people!
In this article, the status of women is directly beaten to the end,
In addition, women were rarely able to engage in politics and business in ancient times, mainly paying attention to husbands and children, which made it difficult to improve their status, but there is no such provision under their own rule at present.
Chu Feng knew that the reason why Huaxia was able to rise in just 20 years in the future was due to the two main factors, one was to join the WTO.
The other is the Chinese mother-in-law!
The existence of Huaxia's mother-in-law allows Huaxia real estate to provide three or four billion people to live, and what does real estate represent? An inconspicuous place can tie up most of a family's expenses.
In other words, hundreds of millions of families work for the country's infrastructure almost free of charge.
Huaxia's mother-in-law definitely occupies a strong pen and ink in the rise of China, if it weren't for them, Huaxia would never have hundreds of millions of families working for Huaxia almost free.
This national condition alone has made countless people abroad sigh!
The most important thing is that real estate is also the industry with the most upstream and downstream industries in all industries, and stimulating real estate can stimulate countless industries to accelerate reproduction.
