Chapter 87 One trick to eat all over the world

As night falls, the lanterns come on.Although Chang'an City is cold and windy, like ice skates biting the bone, the night market in Chang'an City is full of singing and dancing.

Chen Ying, however, was in the cold money bank, looking at the gold and silver piled up in the money bank, feeling infinitely moved.If it is ten thousand guan, it is just a number, but when seeing ten thousand guan coins, that is, 1000 million copper coins, I am afraid that many people will be shocked. It is difficult for anyone to calm down.

Chen Ying looked at the golden ingot with a strange smile on his face.Chen Ying held an ingot of gold and looked at it carefully under the lamp. The dazzling golden light surprised Chen Ying.

The more Chen Ying watched, the more surprised he became, and the more he watched, the more delighted he became.

After all, Ma Zhou is a young man at heart. Although he is smart, he is not like Chen Ying.Seeing the smile on Chen Ying's face, Ma Zhou said as if offering a treasure: "Isn't the Lord wondering why there is so much gold?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "How much brass did you add?"

Ma Zhou didn't have time to react, so he said without thinking, "Two to three."

Then, Ma Zhou looked at Chen Ying in surprise and said, "How did Mr. Lang know that the gold was mixed with copper?"

Chen Ying gently put the ingot of gold in his hand into the box.Chen Ying looked at Ma Zhou and sighed: "The problem lies in the color. The gold and silver in our coffers are very bright. The golden light of gold is a bit dazzling, and the silver light of silver is also very sharp. Therefore, I know you not only mixed copper with gold, but I know you mixed tin with silver."

It never occurred to Chen Ying that before the bank actually started to operate, Ma Zhou allowed the 20 taels of silver and more than [-] taels of gold in the treasury to directly increase in value by nearly [-]%.

Hearing these words, Ma Zhou was even more stunned: "My lord is wise, Ma Zhou is not in case."

In fact, Chen Ying saw through Ma Zhou's clever tactics at a glance, which made Ma Zhou very frustrated.The phenomenon of doping a certain proportion of copper in gold was accidentally discovered by Ma Zhou.

Because the gold, silver and copper coins transferred by Li Yuan to Chen Ying were of mixed fineness and trivial, Ma Zhou originally only wanted to cast the trivial gold into gold of four specifications: ten taels, 50 taels, 100 taels, and 500 taels. As a result, during the smelting process, a craftsman accidentally threw a piece of brass into the crucible, and an accident happened. The gold that appeared in this crucible was obviously better in color and brighter than the gold in other crucibles, and the texture was very good.

After trial and error, including wasting almost 500 taels of gold, Ma Zhou finally mastered the optimal ratio formula, using 100 taels of gold mixed with 21 taels of brass, so that the gold ingots cast in this way have the best composition.After casting all 3000 taels of silver, Ma Zhou pondered how to increase the composition of the silver. Through experiments, he finally concluded that adding [-]% tin to silver had the best composition.

Since then, the bank has not officially opened for business. Ma Zhou mixed 20 taels of silver by adding tin to get more than 700 taels of silver and [-] taels of gold.This is just the profit obtained in less than a month, which is almost equivalent to nearly [-] strings.

Chen Ying looked at Ma Zhou's frustrated face, and immediately chuckled: "Why, are you discouraged?"

Ma Zhou thought farther. Since Chen Ying can see the problem at a glance, does it mean that other people can also see it?
In fact, Ma Zhou's worries were unnecessary.

Nearly 200 years before the invention of Archimedes’ buoyancy principle, Mohism’s Mohism also contained an explanation of the buoyancy principle. However, as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dominated Confucianism, Mohism gradually disappeared. This important Theories are drowned in the dust of history, leaving only a few words.

"The thorn is as big as it is deep and shallow. It can be said."

"Shen, the back of the thorn is also Shen Qian, not the thorn, if it is one of the five."

In fact, this is the earliest record of density in China. "Jing" should be used as a punishment, and it should be connected with Xingtong, which means shape and object.This sentence means that the object is very large and sinks very shallow in the water. The reason is that the weight of the object is the same as the buoyancy it bears, and it is balanced.

The second paragraph means that when an object is put into the water, the object is in the water and balanced in the water, even if it sinks very shallowly, not as shallow as itself. "

It's just a pity that the ancient Chinese didn't go far enough to study this field, and the loss of the "Black Classic" is the greatest tragedy.

Chen Ying patted Ma Zhou on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, this matter is well done."

"Won't others find out that I mixed copper in gold?" Ma Zhou is very worried now. Once people find out that gold is mixed with copper, it will not only deal a fatal blow to the bank, but the key is that the gold and silver are of equal value. With nearly 40 guan, not to mention Ma Zhou, even Chen Ying can't afford it.

Chen Ying said confidently: "No one who can discover this problem has yet appeared, but this matter is not afraid of outsiders knowing, but of insiders leaking the secret, so these people involved in the smelting must control and manage their own affairs. Mouth, absolutely must not leak this news."

Ma Zhou said anxiously: "My lord, don't worry, my disciples know the importance. These craftsmen involved in the smelting are all recruited by the wise or the deaf, and these people are illiterate. Even if they want to reveal this secret, there is nothing they can do."

Chen Ying: "This is not the safest way!"

"Ah!" Ma Zhou was surprised: "They still have a way to reveal the secret?"

Chen Ying nodded and said: "In this world, there are countless talented people and different people. Some people are proficient in lip language, and some are good at sign language. Therefore, it is not necessarily the safest to recruit only the wise or the deaf."

If you want to ask, in this world, who has the tightest tongue?
The answer is definitely yes, there are only dead people.

Ma Zhou shuddered and murmured, "Is it necessary to do this?"

"Why do you do that?" Suddenly, Chen Ying looked at Ma Zhou with a gloomy face, and slapped Ma Zhou on the head: "What are you thinking? Do you think I will kill all these people?"

Ma Zhou asked suspiciously, "Isn't it?"

"Of course not, you think too much of me!" Chen Ying said with a slight smile: "The so-called loyalty is because there are not enough bargaining chips for betrayal. As long as there are enough chips, even normal people will be loyal. In this society, whether the smart or the deaf, their employment channels are very narrow, and a shop will not hire them at all, so it is difficult for them to find a job to support themselves if they want to support their families. You just need to put all the smart Gather the soldiers and the deaf, tell them, keep the secret, everyone can live, once the secret is leaked, one of the people employed here counts as one, and all of them will be fired!"

Ma Zhou heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Chen Ying didn't want to kill anyone.

The consumption of silver and gold in the fire was an open secret in the Ming and Qing dynasties of later generations.However, in this era, Chen Ying has to be careful, Youdao is a new trick, and he eats it all over the world.By guarding this important invention, you can eat these profits into your own mouth.If the secret is revealed one day later, then this piece of fat can be eaten forever.

Chen Yingdao: "Actually, this work can be divided into countless steps. Each person is only responsible for a part. If they don't communicate with each other, they won't be able to know your real intention. Those who don't know will not reveal this secret."
