Villager of Daming

Chapter 866 Moral Education New Iron Manufacturing

The raindrops were falling, and before Zhu Yuanzhang had finished eating a piece of pie, the clouds in the sky seemed to appear suddenly.

"We thought it would only go down in the afternoon, what should the people in the market do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down his chopsticks and picked up the telescope to take a look. Queen Ma also raised the telescope.

All the people in the market were hiding under the edge of the shed, and the stall holders in the shed moved the tables inside to make more space.

When the wind blows, the rain flies sideways. The people on the other side put down the straw curtain in front of the shed. It will get wet anyway, and they will wait until the weather clears to dry it.

Queen Ma looked carefully again: "Someone came yesterday. They couldn't tell that it would rain today, so they didn't bring rain gear."

"Don't worry, Queen. There are some in the village. They are specially bought. One is to increase the people's income, and the other can educate the people."

As soon as the chief heard Queen Ma's worried words, he immediately followed her.

"We know that increasing income has nothing to do with educating the people?" Queen Ma nodded first and then asked.

"Mom, I know." The youngest Wu Wang Zhu Zhu said: "Mom, free rain gear, raincoats and umbrellas are provided on a street in Xiaqiu Village.

Take it away when it rains and return it when the sky clears. It will be anonymous and fingerprint-free. The style and signs will be unified.

If the person who borrowed it does not return it, it proves that the education of the Ming Dynasty capital is not good enough. Usually, a notice is posted to let those who forget to take the rain gear back so that everyone can use it next time.

The chief has said that the most terrifying thing is for a nation to lose morality and self-restraint. Law is the lowest bottom line of morality.

If everyone no longer abides by morality, then the bottom line can only be raised, and every village needs a village guard. "

Empress Ma smiled, put down her telescope, and picked up her chopsticks: "The village chief is right, Xiaqiu Village needs villagers, and so does the Ming Dynasty."

Everyone nodded and continued eating. Someone was already bringing raincoats, umbrellas, and large sun umbrellas on carts over there.

Parasols are provided for people who eat, but they are actually used for cooking. The stove cannot be placed in the shed, but is placed outside. Only when it is blocked can the lid of the pot be opened.

The head of the village took a look and said: "In the future, let them exchange coal or firewood for coke, and we will make a stove for them. Their stove is not good."

"What's the difference?" Chen Ning, the censor, didn't understand, and asked after swallowing the hot sauce he was sipping with chopsticks.

"The coke does not smoke after burning and is not easy to extinguish. The fire lasts for a long time. The inner wall of the furnace needs to be wiped with refractory mud, usually kaolin or bauxite.

The boilers in the village can burn anything, and coal briquettes are equally useful. They always add more coal when burning coal, which produces a lot of dust and smoke.

Burning firewood also wastes labor, and you have to put firewood in it. When there is more steel, the village will build a gasifier, which is easy to use, and burning straw will become a fire. "

The director stopped there with a small pie and said it to Chen Ning, and also to others.

As the basic things in the village increased, Hanhan went out to get things. There was a small stove standing there, which burned firewood surprisingly well.

The main structure is not complicated, it is easy to make, and it can be carried around. It can burn hay, straw, branches, etc.

"Eat it, it's cold, it's hot, it doesn't taste good! Hmm! Hey hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian urged, stop chatting and eat quickly.

"Listen to us." Zhu Yuanzhang also put down the telescope, and this meal will be regarded as lunch.

It wasn't until everyone finished drinking the shredded radish soup and eating all the side dishes on their plates that everyone sat there contentedly and watched the rain outside.

The wind is not blowing this way, the windows are open, and the wind with water vapor blows in. The humidity is high and breathing is smooth.

Some people in the market have left, and some have just arrived. Those who came after the rain and did not wear rain gear have become drowned rats.

They ignore their clothes and go to the washroom to wash their hair first. The rainwater is not clean and if the hair is not treated when it is wet, lice will develop.

Just wash it with soap, wipe it, spread it out and let it dry naturally, and you'll be fine. However, there is no need to air dry naturally, and the villagers provide hair dryers, which are not heated.

There are electric lights below, so I put extra power strips. Amidst the buzzing sound, all the people washing their hair were there.

"The hair dryer is good, but it's a pity that it requires electricity and cannot be widely used. Huh? Why is the fruit plate like this?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang was praising the hairdryer, people from Xiaqiu Village brought a fruit plate on a cart, which was different from the usual plates.

Others also discovered that it looked like iron, but it was different from ordinary iron. It was more like a mirror, but not glass.

"Your Majesty, this is tinplate. The iron sheet is plated with tin and uses alkaline electroplating. The required material is the reaction of tin ore and sodium hydroxide.

This is used to make can shells. It is better than bamboo tubes with glue or grease, and is stronger than glass and ceramics.

People are generally unwilling to buy it because it is too expensive. The army carries it under special circumstances. It is very convenient to eat and can be heated by opening the lid.

For navigation, put fruits and vegetables in it, our navy must equip it, and export it to the barbarians.

They don't have the technology to make tinplate, and the empty box is good as a utensil. If you say it is a bowl, it is a bowl. "

The head of the village deliberately arranged for someone to bring fruits in this tinplate fruit plate. He first made the actual object and then explained its use.

The more this thing is processed, the lower the cost. The Yi people don't understand it at all, so they just sell it to them. They probably regard the empty box as a treasure.

Zhu Yuanzhang flicked it twice with his fingers: "Is it expensive?"

"The cost is not high."

"How much should a can like this cost?"

"A hundred coins?"

"The village will make it first, and we will arrange for people to deceive it. No, tell the barbarians the benefits. Can this thing be recycled and reused after the army uses it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to study how to make it. He only considered whether it was a waste. After all, it was iron.

"Your Majesty, you can, but when fighting, we don't consider recycling it. If you accidentally touch the edge, it will be as sharp as a knife.

There are also bullet casings, even though they are made of copper. Just throw them on the battlefield. After the battle is won, don't throw them away if it's too late. Everything is based on the purpose of action.

Cans made of tinplate are the same as other cans. The ingredients must be put inside, the meat must be fully packed, and there should be as little soup as possible.

The same goes for fruit, otherwise it would be uneconomical. It can be braised pork, braised pork with pickles, chestnut chicken and chicken stewed with mushrooms..."

The chief then flicked the tray in front of him, emphasizing that the purpose of the operation should be the main purpose and not collecting things that would delay things.

At the same time, military cans are always good products. The cost of the shell is high, and it is not possible to fill them with carrageenan and make money.

For this kind of tinplate can, just open the top and put it on the fire. After eating the can, pour water into it and you can drink hot water.

If you don't have a knife, use a can shell to open it. For example, use a stone to scrape a gap, and then tear it apart while paying attention to safety. The can is the knife.

Including the piece of iron opened above, it is very sharp and can kill people no slower than a knife.

If you eat the canned food in the desert, you can collect fresh water and have many uses. Even if you sell it to the people, the people will not throw away the shells.
