Shen Liang turned over and decided to go hand in hand, wine and glassware.

Shocking chunks of glass don't have to be considered for the time being, but glass bottles for wine can be prioritized.

Shen Liang sat at the table, splashed ink, and listed all the things needed to make glass.

First of all, the problem of raw materials, the raw materials required for glass, quartz, limestone, feldspar, soda ash.

Quartz stone is not a problem, after all, as a large ceramic country, the main raw material is quartz stone.

Limestone is also easy to do, Yu Qian also wrote the famous lime chant, but because history has changed, the song "Thousands of hammers chiseled out of the deep mountains, burning fire if idle" has not yet appeared.

The most headache is soda ash.

The scientific name of soda ash is sodium carbonate, commonly known as baking soda, stone alkali, block alkali, and mouth alkali.

The ancients began to use soda ash very early, but natural soda ash is mainly found in salt lakes, and the yield is scarce, until the modern industrial soda ash comes out, soda ash is a major constraint on industrial production.

Soda ash is known as the mother of industry, and soda ash is needed for glass, textile, chemical, light industry, and metallurgy.

According to the course of history, at this time, the West has already explored the Lubran alkali method, and in more than 20 years, the Belgian Solvay will explore the Solvay alkali method, also known as the ammonia-alkali method.

During the First World War, our country had to import soda ash from England until a man named Hou Debang appeared.

Shen Liang remembered that in the high school textbook, there was a page dedicated to the deeds of Hou Debang, this old gentleman can be called the founder of modern national industry, and he lived until 1974 and enjoyed extremely high treatment.

The advantages and disadvantages of the ammonia-alkali method are obvious, the advantages are that the raw materials are cheap, the product purity is high, the by-products ammonia and carbon dioxide can be recycled, the manufacturing steps are simple, and it is suitable for large-scale promotion.

The disadvantage is that the utilization rate of salt is low and the pollution is large.

What Shen Liang wants to use is the ammonia-alkali method.

Although Hou Debang's alkali production method can increase the utilization rate of salt to more than 96%, and can also produce nitrogen fertilizer with less pollution, the purity is not as good as that of soda ash produced by the ammonia-alkali method, and the requirements for equipment are very high.

Although Shen Liang admires Hou Debang very much, considering the current situation, he can only choose the lesser of two evils.

Shen Liang wrote down the required materials, but the ratio of the materials was not written, and he also wrote a few more materials on the paper to prevent the formula from leaking and being taken to find out.

When he came to the world of Red Mansions, he found that the ancients were not bad at all in terms of IQ, and what they lacked was some knowledge and a sense of the overall situation.

"If you want to fire glassware, you have to recruit a group of workers who know how to fire porcelain." Shen Liang writes and draws on paper.

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, Shen Liang found that the 700 taels of silver were not even a drop in the bucket, at most it was a mouthful of water.

"But I haven't reached the crown yet, I can't be an official, and I can't show up to do business, how can I make money?"

Shen Liang was worried.

Who would have thought that Jia Baoyu, who had crossed into the world of Red Mansions, would have to worry about money.

Although Jiafu is rich, most of them are real estate, and the limited liquidity is also in the hands of Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng.

I asked for an allowance money, thirty or fifty taels, and Jia Mu might give it casually.

But now what he needs is tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is a big expense even if it is placed in Jiafu.

Putting the pen down, Shen Liang returned to the bed and hugged the little girl Qingwen who didn't have a wisp.

Xu is Shen Liang stayed under the bed for too long, his body was a little cold, and Qingwen in her sleep muttered a few words dissatisfiedly, and let Shen Liang hold her in her arms.

It was as hot as a small stove, which was also the duty of the ancient maid to help the master warm the bed.

Shen Liang remembered that when he first looked at the history of the Ming Dynasty, the traitor Yan Song, there were three or four maids who warmed the bed, and they all had to be cardamom girls, with exquisite appearances, and each of them did not go down to Qingwen's appearance.

As soon as he thought of these wonderful and moving little girls, covering the feet of an old man with his delicate chest, Shen Liang felt that he was trampling things.

Evil feudal society!

A wealthy family of all evils!

Evil bureaucracy!

Shen Liang swore at that time that if one day, he became an official and a rich man, and traveled to ancient times, he would definitely not do these bad things.

At this moment, Shen Liang put his frozen feet on his hot buttocks, sniffed the sweet and greasy fragrance emanating from Qingwen's neck, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so fragrant!" ”

On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, it is advisable to get married, travel, move, sign a contract, trade, start a business, pray for blessings, break ground, make a bed, sacrifice, make a dress, adopt a child, open a light, and break ground......

Without restraint.

Jia Zheng took Shen Liang in a carriage to the home of Liu Zongzhou, the current squire of the Ministry of Works, to learn art.

Liu Zongzhou's house is also in Xicheng, near Chongwen Gate.

After traveling for a long time, the carriage saw the gate of Liu's mansion.

There are two doormen standing at the door, both of which are made of green clothes and plain cloth, although they are not very luxurious, but they are also clean and neat.

Compared with the two big stone lions in front of the Rongguo Mansion and the three beast-headed gates, Liu Zongzhou's door can be called shabby.

This is the difference between a wealthy family and an ordinary official.

The wealthy family has accumulated for generations, and the heritage is profound, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

Although Liu Zongzhou is a position of real power, he is a member of the three grades of the dynasty, but he has no family support.

Or that his family is not in the capital and cannot support it.

Because it was an apprenticeship, Liu Fu opened the door early to welcome guests.

Jia Zheng and Shen Liang got out of the carriage and entered through the main entrance, followed by a few small servants, holding the bundle of apprentices.

A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper greeted him, "Lord Jia, son, my lord has been waiting for a long time." ”

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "Sins and sins, how dare you let Lord Liu wait, it's really embarrassing." ”

The butler smiled and led the two into the back hall.

Liu's mansion is not big, passing through a shadow wall, behind it are three small halls, behind the small hall are four upper rooms, and there is only one hand-copying verandah on both sides.

Shen Liang thought in his heart that he, Teacher Liu, was honest enough, and the mansion of the third-grade master was actually quite shabby.

In fact, he didn't know that firewood and rice were expensive, and he wanted to have a house in Shenjing City, which was already something that ordinary people could not look forward to.

In addition, the housing prices in Shenjing City are expensive, even if it is a big official like Liu Zongzhou, the annual income is only five or six hundred stones.

Moreover, officials are not alone, counting wives and concubines, children, maids, and servants, the monthly income is just enough for food and clothing, and it is absolutely impossible to have a surplus.

Unless you go up and down and are greedy for ink, you can be rich.

It's just that Liu Zongzhou is upright and refuses to follow the unspoken rules of officialdom, not only is he not greedy for ink, but he even receives very little charcoal and ice respect every year.

If it weren't for the fact that his disciples often received help, Liu Zongzhou's family would almost be unable to open the pot.

When Shen Liang entered the room, he saw Liu Zongzhou sitting on the right seat of the small hall, and a middle-aged man sitting next to him, with a clear appearance and an extraordinary bearing.

In the center of the small hall hangs a portrait of the saint Kong.

There are two and ten Nanmu chairs underground, and six people are seated.

Seeing Jia Zheng and Shen Liang coming in, Liu Zongzhou smiled and said: "Cun Zhou came just in time, I introduced you to you, this is Wei Zaode, the champion of this dynasty, the master order." ”

"This is after the last generation of Rong Guogong, Jia Zheng's family is Zhou."
