"Long live Wechen." Yang Hanyi was just about to give a salute, but Zhu Youxiao had already waved his hand to stop it, looking at the little milk cat with a smile on his face.

Li Chengcheng also smiled from ear to ear, and pointed out one by one to introduce the emperor, "Emperor, this youngest is from Mr., I don't know if it's the eldest sister or the eldest brother." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "If you raise it, you can't tell who is who, and it doesn't matter if you are the eldest or second." ”

"Hooray, who can tell." Tao Yan seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Zhu Youxiao's confusion and indifference, and suddenly said: "They all have small characteristics, this ear tip has a pinch of black hair is the second child, and this tail with a little black is the third child......"

Yes? The little girl's memory is so good!

Zhu Youxiao was very surprised, and couldn't help but look at Tao Yan a few more times.

Li Chengcheng hurriedly went to find a pen and paper, and muttered: "I'll write it down, and I won't make a mistake in the future." Give a name in order, small big, small two, little three, ......"

Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes, he could deal with it better than himself, Xiaosan, well, did you let it be discriminated against and ridiculed in the cat world?

Tao Yan pouted slightly, lowered her eyelids, and was too lazy to complain, but she could see the disgust on her face.

Zhu Youxiao resisted the urge to pinch the little girl's stinky face, and said with a smile: "When you grow older, you can distinguish the denominator and look at their habits, and it's not too late to name them again." Maybe the little female cat is very naughty, so she has to call her name with the word Tao! ”

As if to mean me, Tao Yan blinked her eyes and didn't look up, but the corners of her mouth twitched.

Xiaobai was very tired, lying there resting; Ye Hei watched the outsiders vigilantly beside him, watching over his babies.

This cat-like appearance has increased Zhu Youxiao's favor for him a lot, and he is still a responsible guy.

Yang Hanyi saw that there was nothing wrong, so he bowed and retreated. In fact, she didn't help much, just watched the cat give birth to kittens, because she didn't give birth to cats either.

Tao Yan was a little reluctant, and glanced at the little milk cats vigorously before leaving with the master.

"Xiaobai is also tired, add two chicken livers to it to make up for it, and then let it rest well." Zhu Youxiao didn't reach out to touch it, although he liked it very much, but he seemed to have seen that if the kitten was stained with other smells, the mother cat wouldn't feed it.

Oh, Li Chengcheng nodded again and again, his eyes did not leave the little milk cat.

Six, that's pretty good, but I can have ten!

Zhu Youxiao turned around and left, and secretly made up his mind that he would never lose to the cats.

If you can't give birth to a litter, then find the number of daughters-in-law. I still don't believe it, I am fierce and fierce, and ten or eight daughters-in-law can also handle it.

…………………….

Although Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up when he proposed the ticket salt law in the middle of the summer, he believed that it was quite characteristic of a market economy. However, if he wants to implement it, he still needs to carefully study and improve it.

More importantly, the salt plant should be well controlled. If the officials of the salt factory do not do their best, and all the money goes into their pockets, but the salt does not receive much tax, then it is better to mix it up like now.

If the ticket salt law is implemented, the first effect that Zhu Youxiao can see is to "suppress the price of salt" and benefit all the people.

You can buy it freely, and the big and small merchants who sell salt, and even the ordinary people, can buy and sell salt.

What is this called, competition! Under the competition, the monopoly of the big salt merchants and the arbitrary pricing are not good.

But competition is certainly a good thing, and as soon as the ticket salt law is introduced, several major salt factories in the country will also be affected. From the cost point of view, the cost of boiling salt is high, so fewer people buy it; The low cost of dried salt is definitely favored by businessmen.

In other words, once competition is introduced, even the salt factory will be involved. In particular, the Lianghuai Salt Factory, which is already more expensive than Guangdong salt, relies on the protection of the salt boundary to maintain and obtain the salt tax.

But on a national scale, if the salt plant is tightly controlled, the salt tax increase is a sure thing.

The big salt merchants are going to cry, the smugglers are going to lose their jobs, and the people are going to be happy. In comparison with the three, Zhu Youxiao has already made a choice.

And what makes him even more happy is that he has got another talent. That's right, Tang Mo's book is equivalent to recommending Xia Zhong, which is revealed between the lines.

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment, ready to summon him in the middle of the summer, first go to be a salt patrol imperial history, familiarize himself with the salt administration business, and then be of great use in the future.

Holding the thinking of a traverser, Zhu Youxiao regards talent as more important than money. After all, in this era, it is not easy to get his appreciation.

Zhu Youxiao is not only regarded as a talent in the middle of the summer, but also Chen Zizhuang, Xu Fuyuan and others. Of course, they are still being tested.

However, now they are in the courtyard of the house purchased by Zhu Youxiao, taking turns to observe the new objects in their hands, and they are exclaiming again and again.

If new knowledge broadens their horizons, the objects made by Zhu Youxiao make them see the wonder and wonder of the microcosm.

Zhu Youxiao made a wooden instrument and called it a microscope, but he himself knew that it was just a magnifying instrument similar to a microscope.

Of course, although this is a simple microscope, it is composed of composite lenses. Thanks to the successful manufacture of lead glass, the magnification reached fifty times.

Zhu Youxiao is still continuing to research, but he is not doing it himself. He knew that the world's first practical microscope had only one lens, but the magnification of the boutique was 720 times, which was polished in an innovative way.

Therefore, as a founder, he will find and train masters of polishing lenses, and this work of showing a new world in the vision of mankind can be completed sooner or later.

"It's an ant?" Xu Fuyuan's eyes widened, looking at the strangeness under the camera, and swallowed hard, "This thigh, it's really, really disgusting." ”

As soon as the words fell, the microscope in his hand was snatched away, and Zhang Yitai couldn't wait to observe the ants, and a surprised sound came out of his mouth.

Chen Zizhuang scratched his head and said, "Are you strange? There was also an object like this in the teacher's study, and I asked the source, but he didn't say it, and it was even more precious. ”

Xia Yunyi thought for a while and said, "I think there is a place to buy, but it's not ordinary people who let me buy it, Xu Dacai didn't know what to say." ”

"You mean the royal forbidden?" Xu Fu saw that Wang Ji was lined up again, so he had to wait with peace of mind for the time being, and casually guessed: "This is reasonable." Brother Shen is not an ordinary person, so it is not surprising that he can get it. ”

Chen Zilong nodded and said with emotion: "I haven't seen Brother Shen for another while, and I look forward to his high-minded talk." ”

Xu Fuyuan agreed, saying: "Last time I heard him talk about the principle of gunpowder explosion, I had a lot of insights. I tried it with firecrackers, and sure enough, it was right. Now the thunder in the army has killed and injured many prisoners. Compared with the earth-shattering thunder of the Jin Dynasty, the power is even more incomparable. ”

Xia Yunyi saw the opportunity, took the first step, and squeezed Xu Fuyuan to the back, took the microscope, and observed the little ants intently.

"But there are other things besides ants?" Wang Jizhong was still not satisfied, touching his chin and pondering, "It's a pity that the weather is not warm enough, and it's not easy to find a living creature!" ”

Zhang Yitai blinked his eyes and walked out. There was not much time, so he turned back and urged Xia Yunyi to say, "Come, change your observation, the ants are too big." ”

Xia Yunyi didn't know what Zhang Yitai had gotten, and with curiosity, he happily gave up the microscope to Zhang Yitai.

Zhang Yitai carefully placed the millet grain-like thing on the fingernail cover on the glass piece, and impatiently put his eyes on the eyepiece. Then, his mouth suddenly opened and he made a strange sound.

"I'll see, I'll see." Xia Shou was beside him, and he leaned in with a scream.

Zhang Yitai's face was strange, and he shook his head again and again and handed the microscope to Xia Yi.

Xia Yunyi looked left and right, and couldn't recognize what this thing was, with sharp claws and teeth, and a very vicious look.

"What is this?" Xia Yunyi looked at Zhang Yitai very strangely and asked, "Where did you get it from?" ”

Zhang Yitai's face was slightly confused, but he shook his head and said nothing.

Xu Fuyuan and others have seen it one after another, but they don't know why, so they asked around Zhang Yitai.

Zhang Yitai was so entangled that he was helpless, so he smiled bitterly: "This is lice." ”

Everyone looked at each other, looked at Zhang Yitai's expression, and instantly understood.

For modern humans, lice are a rare species; But in ancient and old societies, especially in rural areas, most people had it.

At that time, the living conditions were very happy to be fed and clothed.

As for personal hygiene, that's all there is to it. I didn't take a shower, wash my hair very often, and I didn't have a lot of clothes. Even if it's just one to go out, wash it more and worry that the fabric will be easy to break!

Especially on the head, lice are common.

So, at that time there was a special combing tool called a grate. The teeth are denser than regular combs, and they are mainly used to scrape dandruff and lice hiding in the hair.

"He looks so vicious-" Chen Zizhuang stroked his forehead, as if he had palpitations, and also diverted the topic, which can be regarded as a relief from Zhang Yitai's little embarrassment.

Xia Yunyi shook his head and said nothing, looking at his face, as if he was frightened.

It's not surprising that anyone who knows that they have such a scary guy in them can't feel comfortable anymore.

There was a brief silence in the room, and the point was that everyone didn't know what to say for a while.

"Brothers-" Zhu Youxiao walked into the hall, saw that everyone was quiet, didn't know what was going on, and stopped talking strangely.

"Brother Shen." Chen Zilong turned his head to see the person who came, and immediately his face was full of joy, and he arched his hand and said, "Be polite, be polite." Fortunately, fortunately. ”

Xu Fuyuan and others also cleaned up their mood and stepped forward to meet Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao returned the salute one by one, asked about what happened just now, went up to take a look at the lice of "rare animals", and also felt a chill.

After sitting down, after a few words, Zhu Youxiao talked about his plan.

"Brother Shen invited me to wait to study-" Xu Fuyuan didn't understand Zhu Youxiao's new term for a while, and his hand drew two circles in the air before he remembered, "The latest chemical knowledge, become the top scholar of this era?" ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Not only chemistry, but also physics, all of which are advanced knowledge, are related to state secrets, and are related to the knowledge of my Ming Dynasty to maintain the leading position in science and technology and ensure that my Ming Dynasty is more powerful." ”

Everyone looked at each other, shocked and puzzled.

Zhu Youxiao saw everyone's expressions, smiled, and continued: "If you don't talk about a year, but two or three years at most, which brother has the heart to serve the country and the people, is willing to be lonely, and can study hard, you can go to further study." If you have doubts, you don't want to ask for it. ”

Xia Yunyi asked in a deep voice, "Just a few people for me, or-"

"There are more than a dozen people, and all of them are talented people." Zhu Youxiao said: "This is a confidential plan planned by the imperial court, if you can learn it, you can be a grandmaster in the scientific and technological world." ”

Chemistry, science and technology, and confidential plans, everyone's faces became solemn, and their eyes looking at Zhu Youxiao were very complicated.

Zhu Youxiao didn't explain much, the more he explained, the more revealing he became, it was better to continue to maintain a sense of mystery.

"You can think about it and reply in three days." After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he diverted the topic, and then continued the topic that he had not finished talking about the last meeting.

The emperor is the leader of the country, and he can't afford to do his job, conduct some physical and chemical experiments, and come up with some theorems and theories.

Zhu Youxiao compiled the knowledge of physics and chemistry equivalent to junior high school, which is already a milestone achievement.

Because these theorems and theorems are all true and true. As a teaching material, it can train its own scientists, or it is ahead of the world's level.

…………………… Divider...........................

Guiyang.

Since the beginning of the year, eye-catching notices have been posted on various traffic arteries and village and town intersections, and some people have explained to the onlookers.

“…… Regardless of the people of Yi and Han, they are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the court will treat them with good governance, so that they will not be bullied and poor. Today, recruit Yi people to join the army, exterminate the traitors, and pay off a peaceful and happy life......"

The proclamation was set by Zhu Youxiao himself, which was relatively easy to understand, and emphasized the benefits, so as to attract the Yi people to naturalize and enter the Ming army, and become a force to suppress the rebellion of An Bangyan and extravagant Chongming.

Among the onlookers were Han, Miao, and Servant people. There are also barefoot Yi people with woolen cloaks.

"Destroy the traitors and share in peace." After reading the poster, the narrator raised his arms and shouted, wanting to add to the warm atmosphere.

But the effect was almost none, and the onlookers did not respond, and their eyes were still full of confusion and curiosity.

"As long as you can shout these two words, you will have a salt tael or two. Those who sign up for recruitment will be given five catties of salt and 30 acres of land. The narrator didn't care and took out a trump card.

It's not enough to just talk about it, and if it's affordable on the whole day, someone must be tempted, how many times has he seen it. You can recruit a Yi person to join the army, and he can also get a reward, one dollar of silver!

Hearing the white salt, there was a small noise in the crowd.

Salt is a precious thing in Guizhou. Many poor people cannot afford to eat salt, so they can only eat it lightly, or replace it with other flavors, such as sour food.

"See, that's a cart of salt." The narrator stretched out his hand to point, and under the bamboo shed not far away, there was indeed a cart loaded with salt.

If you don't take it for nothing, who won't take it for nothing? This kind of thinking is no different from that of later generations.

Seeing the salt of the white flowers deliberately exposed on the car, people's eyes shone with a warm light.

Finally, the Yiren took action, ran quickly to the bamboo shed, inquired, and shouted slogans. Then, everyone saw that the guy who had acted first had taken a small bag of salt, grinned with a big black tooth mouth, smiled happily, and strode away.
