Chapter 172: Small Solar Stove (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
In the lonely and cold Heart Cultivation Palace, two figures suddenly appeared there out of thin air.
Ren Baqian was still holding a huge cardboard box and a small bag in his hand, and after seeing the surrounding scenery clearly, he looked down at the empress's hand, and there was nothing.
"What was in my hand just now disappeared in an instant. The empress said as she looked at her left hand.
After Ren Baqian went through the second medicinal bath, his current strength is about 15o catties, and the box in his hand plus the empress is about the same. I wanted to see if I could let the empress bring some, but now it has been confirmed that it can't be done, and the thing disappeared directly, I don't know if it stayed on the earth or disappeared somewhere in the process of shuttling.
"Your Majesty!" the voices of Qing Kite and Red Luan sounded behind the two, and the empress retracted her hand holding Ren Baqian like an electric shock.
"What time is it?" the Empress asked, turning around.
"Your Majesty, it's time for a son. The two walked up to the empress and bowed.
Look at the appearance of the two of them, they have been staying here since the empress left.
The sub-hour is between 11 and 1 a.m., which is exactly the middle of the night.
"Is there anything going on in the palace?" asked the empress again.
"It's all right. ”
"You two go down first. The empress waved her hand.
After the two left, they looked at the box in Ren Baqian's hand and asked, "What is it?"
After Ren Baqian asked the box to tighten the room, the two came back, and she didn't have time to ask.
"A device that uses sunlight to melt steel, is used for demonstration. After the minister prepares, he will make glass and mirrors, and make a larger equipment to melt the mountain little by little. Chen thought that there might be a slight word if he built a factory to make glass, so he prepared such one, and presumably others had nothing to say. Ren Baqian patted the box and said.
This is a demonstration of solar stoves, and the same is to show their abilities.
His current situation, he is not unclear, the attitude of the stroke in the Jinluan Hall that day, and Tao Jiyuan's attitude at the beginning can make him see a lot.
If you don't count these, even if you put yourself in their shoes, you will come to the same conclusion.
Therefore, he has to show some things to others, and when his ability is recognized by everyone, it will be much easier to do various things in the future. After all, he doesn't like to be questioned about everything.
"Good. The empress nodded, turned around and returned to the couch: "Tomorrow you are ready to tell me, I will let the second elder and some people watch together." ”
"Yes. So the minister went back first. Ren Baqian carried the box and walked out cautiously, and when he got outside, he found two guards to help him send him back to Pingle Garden.
Back in Pingle Garden, Ren Baqian first practiced "Ruyi Guan", and then fell asleep on the bed.
The next morning, Ren Baqian saw that the sun had risen, and then asked the guards to move the box to a clearing in Pingle Garden.
Anyway, the demonstration only needs an open area that does not block the sunlight.
Ren Baqian opened the box, revealing a metal plate in the shape of a pot lid, about a meter in diameter, with lattices on it, and there were two boxes in the box, which were neatly placed small lenses, which were said to be 2,000 pieces.
I have to say that this job is quite troublesome, and the rough guards of the ancient clan can't help much, Ren Baqian was afraid that they would destroy the metal plate with all their strength, so he had to do it himself, and it took more than an hour to install the lenses, and his arms were sore.
The two guards didn't leave, and watched Ren Baqian busy there not far away, wondering what he was doing.
Occasionally, when they saw those small lenses, they subconsciously felt that this thing was very precious.
"Here, help me get it. Ren Baqian said to the two of them, and went to find a branch himself.
"Bring this to the sun at this angle. Ren Baqian told the guard by hand.
The light in the disc shone like a treasure, and the other guard subconsciously wanted to get closer.
"Don't come closer, stand to the side. Ren Baqian was taken aback by his movements, the focal point of the disc reflecting sunlight could directly melt steel, let alone a person.
"Alright, hold it, don't move. Ren Baqian commanded the guard to stand as he stretched the branch a meter and a half away from the center of the disc.
The moment the branch reached the focal point, it burst into smoke and then burst into flames.
This scene made the two guards stunned, what kind of treasure is this disc?
Ren Baqian went back to the room to find a small copper ring, put it on the branch and stretched it towards the focal point, only to see that the branch was instantly lit, but after seven or eight seconds of effort, the copper ring also began to melt, and finally fell to the ground, and only half of it was left.
The sun in this world is a little bigger and hotter than the earth, so the metal melts faster.
"Fu Cheng, what kind of treasure is this?" the two guards were speechless, and finally couldn't help but ask.
Ren Baqian smiled but did not answer, and said, "Go and inform Your Majesty...... Forget it, I'll go myself. ”
Let the disc be put back into the box and put it in the house, and he rushed to the Palace of Raising the Heart to find the empress.
"Your Majesty, the minister has done a good job, I have tried it just now, and there is no problem. Ren Baqian said with a smile on his face.
"Well, I want to see what you've come up with. But I'm not in a hurry at this moment, I asked someone to inform the second deacon, Tu Wan and others, you can dine with me here first. The empress said softly.
After the empress finished speaking, she asked Hongluan to ask the guards to inform the second deacon and the household department Shangshu Tuwan, the Taifu secretary Gu Yue, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Tong Zhenye, and the ordnance secretary Qing Fengjiao and others.
"Your Majesty, mirrors are needed to make such a solar stove, and the minister thinks that a glass factory can be established in the name of the palace, and the glass and mirrors produced can be circulated in the market, or sold to wealthy people in other countries, and I believe that they are willing to pay a lot of money, and then use the money to buy materials and ship them back to fill the country. ”
"In the name of the palace?" the empress didn't have much of a concept of collecting money.
"Yes, the palace sent people to do it, and the palace opened its own shop to sell, and formed its own caravans to transport to other countries. After using the money from the sale to buy materials, a small amount of them were sold back to China at a higher price, which not only allowed the people to benefit and thank His Majesty, but also ensured the financial resources of the palace.
At the same time, it is completely controlled by the palace, and many things can be avoided, such as other people meddling in it. Ren Baqian explained.
That's true. The empress nodded and said.
"You want to form a caravan?" asked the Empress.
"Yes, it is imperative. After all, transporting goods from one place to another and selling them is hugely profitable, and it is completely possible to fill the treasury when needed.
For example, if the cost of a mirror is half a tael of silver, it can be sold for five taels of silver in China, but it can be sold for fifteen taels of silver when it is transported to other countries. It is from abroad that this money flows into the country, and this kind of trade will make the country rich.
And all along, it was they who sold items to us, although they were able to fill the various materials that Da Yao lacked, but if it continued like this, Da Yao's wealth continued to flow out, using Da Yao's wealth to support the nobles of other countries.
And if we also form a caravan, we can form a balance in this trade flow. At the same time, it is also possible to send news from other countries back to the country through caravans. Ren Baqian simply said that everyone on the earth knows about the economy.
