Chapter Forty-Six: A Big Loss

With the experience of the first time, the process of making nitroglycerin for the second time was quite smooth, and several people did not dare to wave, and they were all careful.

I picked a little bit and got it into the alcohol, so that nitroglycerin dissolved in the alcohol, diluted part of the power, easy to carry, and used as a special medicine to treat heartache and chest paralysis.

The so-called chest paralysis actually refers to the current coronary heart disease and angina. Such a person has a weak chest and yang, so the fluid does not melt and gathers into phlegm. The phlegm is blocked, resulting in chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Phlegm is blocked in the airway, resulting in coughing and phlegm. The tongue coating is white and greasy, and the pulse is heavy or tight, which is a sign of phlegm turbidity and internal lurking. The heart and chest qi are not strong, and the yang qi cannot be promoted, so if it is not passed, it will be painful, and it will hurt the heart.

The chest yang is sluggish, and the cold qi is reversed, so the patient is easy to feel that the qi is hitting upwards from the flank area.

Nitroglycerin tablets, the drug is mainly used for the treatment and prevention of angina pectoris and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.

The effect of quick effect is not bad for emergency treatment, and the treatment is recorded in Zhang Zhongjing's "Jin Kui Yaolu" and some medical books, and a method can be found.

Some simplified versions of nitroglycerin were made and sent to Huimin Pharmacy to test the effect.

Looking at the onlookers of the employees of the glass factory, Zheng Xiong was thoughtful.

"What are you still watching here, don't you have anything to do?"

Yesterday's scene was unforgettable, and the idle crowd continued to watch the excitement.

Hearing Zheng Xiong's words, he hurriedly saluted and went to work.

Zheng Xiong had a bit of a headache at this time, the soap and glass were fine, the people in the glass factory knew the ratio, and if it leaked out, it would be leaked, it was just a tool to make money, at most there was not such a high profit.

Zheng Xiong did not avoid people, there were many people involved in all the steps, if he couldn't withstand the temptation or others gave too much, it would be a matter of time before it leaked out. Zheng Xiong only hastily signed a confidential document with them, and it was obviously unrealistic to expect their integrity.

There's no other way to do it, but to look at their integrity.

This nitroglycerin is not good, the wisdom of the ancestors is unimaginable, and there is no shortage of smart people who have the spirit of scientific research, if the formula leaks out, those careerists will definitely study it well, and then cause social turmoil.

At this point, we have to mention Nobel, who made a total of 355 inventions in his lifetime, which brought him great wealth, the most important of which was explosives.

In 1888, Nobel's brother Ludwig died, and a French newspaper erroneously published Nobel's obituary. When he read the obituary, Nobel realized what his public image was.

When the newspaper denounced Nobel for his invention of explosives, it gave him the unpleasant nickname "Arms Dealer"; The obituary reads, "Dr. Alfred Nobel became rich by inventing ways to kill more people faster, and yesterday he finally died." ”

Anything may not have been invented with so many ideas, just as a tool. However, when the people who use it are different, the consequences are very serious.

It's like the same knife, I use it to chop vegetables, but you use it to cut people.

Although it has happened now, there is still room for redemption, and they may not dare to sell these formulas.

Zheng Xiong is struggling with whether to tell Lao Zhu about this matter, Lao Zhu treats the people really well, but he doesn't have the patience to treat others.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always been very nostalgic for Fengyang, and often decreed tax exemption, and in the sixteenth year of Hongwu, he finally decreed: Fengyang Mansion will be exempted from service forever (ten years in the early years of Hongwu).

The Fengyang Dingdu plan began in the second year of Hongwu, and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the relocation of wealthy people from Jiangnan and Shanxi to mobilize local economic development. Large-scale projects such as building imperial tombs, building large quantities of construction, and mobilizing craftsmen from all over the country to build imperial tombs and palaces. But the problem is that these immigrants have no wages and rewards, and they are tired of working and end up in various town goods.

After the completion of the construction of the project in the eighth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang was even ready to officially move the capital from the temporary capital to Fengyang, and issued a letter for this.

In the "Zhongdu Sacrifice to Heaven and Earth", he said: Since the beginning of Hongwu to pacify the Central Plains, the ministers have been anxious to Bianliang, with the intention of building the capital to calm the world. And to the other, the people's livelihood withered, the land and water transport is difficult, the fear of the people is even worse, so the ministers are discussed, everyone is said to be the ancient Zhongli Ke, so the name of the county is two more, now Fengyang, the capital is built here.

At this moment, Li Shanchang suddenly reported: I heard that the construction workers were very dissatisfied with the work too hard and too obligatory (no money), and they had all kinds of charms and things, and they couldn't live in it. Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry when he heard this, and hurriedly sent someone to investigate, and sure enough, he found a lot of town things.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious about this and wanted to kill all the workers who participated in the construction of the Central Capital Project. At this moment, Xue Xiang (he was a subordinate of Yu Tonghai and Liao Yongan, therefore, belonged to the maritime anti-Yuan armed forces) said that blacksmiths and stonemasons would not be involved in this matter, so thousands of blacksmiths and stonemasons were killed.

Unfortunately, the carpenter could not live. The carpenters must be in the majority, there are always thousands.

Zheng Xiong has to plan carefully, if he reports to Lao Zhu directly, things are made, these people may leak secrets, then absolutely no one can live.

In other words, please take credit for them, and by the way, this matter will most likely be able to protect them.

The weather was not early, Zheng Xiong handed over the materials of the court meeting, got off work, and specially instructed them before leaving, asking for credit for them and getting a preventive shot.

The shivering early morning is very sinful, and there are always some people who take the trouble to go to court every day and show their faces in front of Lao Zhu.

"Zheng Xiong, I haven't seen you for a while, and I didn't go to the early dynasty, you tell me what you're busy with, I heard that you also got a specialty store, and you're so short of money."

Zheng Xiong was taken aback, and he didn't know which immoral person stabbed Lao Zhu here, he wouldn't kill himself, after all, he was still a typical, anyway, just admit his mistake, no shame.

"Your Majesty, Wechen is guilty, but Wechen has been really busy recently, and now that he has succeeded, please ask Your Majesty for advice."

"What's going on, let's listen carefully."

"The pharmacy recently cured a patient with a carbuncle and the glass factory made glass and soap with a hint of variegation, and they sold well. But through the efforts of the glass factory staff, we were able to come up with a powerful gunpowder that could blow up a big crater with just a small amount. Weichen dared to ask for credit for them, and hoped that His Majesty would tell him how to deal with this thing, and if this thing spread, it would be a troublesome matter. ”

Lao Zhu snorted coldly.

"I already know, if you don't come to today's court meeting, I will have to invite you, such a big event, if you don't report it early, you almost want me to come to you, you are really bold."

Lao Zhu was angry, waiting online, quite anxious.

"Weichen deserves death, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me."

"If the gunpowder you made is meritorious, I will spare you this time. The people in the glass factory have already been examined except for you, and there is no problem for the time being, since you have taken credit for them, you will save them from death. But the gunpowder you made must be handed over, and it cannot be made for you. Moreover, I plan to transfer a battalion of guards to the glass factory, and they will all die here in the future, and the son will inherit his father's business, and the family will be neat and tidy. ”

"By the way, I heard that your glass factory is quite profitable, and you will be responsible for the money and food of the battalion guards."
