Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 194 My Ming Dynasty is going to produce a saint!

"hey-hey!"

Zhu Xi touched his nose in embarrassment. Lin Che's compliment to him was far more important than all the teachers' compliments from childhood to adulthood.

The key is that the expression on his father's face when he looks at him is different from the past.

In the past, he would either hit or scold me, but today the look in his eyes when he looked at his father was actually very gentle.

There is no harshness in the past, this look was only reserved for the queen mother and the prince's brother.

Zhu Xi couldn't help feeling proud.

"Then sir, how to make this sulfuric acid?"

Zhu Xi didn't know much about these things, so he asked shamelessly.

"There are also simple ways to make sulfuric acid. If the conditions are not enough, we will make do with it first."

"The most important thing is to find green vitriol, which is also bile vitriol, and then set up a pot and burn it directly."

"But what you need to pay attention to is the container to hold this item. An iron pot is definitely not suitable, but a ceramic vat is fine."

"This process also has a chemical name, which is carbonization. What is produced in this way is concentrated sulfuric acid."

"Then get some water into the tank to thin it out, and then find a pipe to pass the gas from the previous local coking method into the water tank. The thing in the water tank at this time is called ammonium sulfate..."

"At this point, it can be used as fertilizer, but the liquid is a bit difficult to transport. It is still the old method. You can also just light a fire and boil the water to dry up, so that you can get solid ammonium sulfate. "

Lin Che talked eloquently, and some of the popular science books she read before traveling through time were now useful.

I can remember these knowledge points clearly. Although I haven't seen them put to use with my own eyes, I can tell them and teach them to the most powerful family in the Ming Dynasty.

After all, they are the only ones who can spread their knowledge and contribute to China.

Refining chemical fertilizers and developing explosives are actually somewhat similar. Starting to refine chemical fertilizers now can be regarded as making some contribution to the development of science and technology in future generations.

When Lin Che said this, she picked up the wine that Zhu Yuanzhang had poured for him at some point and began to drink it slowly.

As for the fact that iron stoves cannot be used because sulfuric acid is extremely corrosive and will react chemically with iron items, this is too esoteric, so I won’t explain it anymore. Even the Zhu family and his son wouldn’t understand it!
"It's really so complicated! So, according to what Mr. said, you should find someone to get familiar with it and then you can refine it. Why bother to find a Taoist priest?"

As soon as this question was answered, the next question appeared in Zhu Xi's mind.

Zhu Xi felt like he was a child now, full of thirst for knowledge and having a hundred thousand reasons.

then.

Zhu Xi asked again his doubts.

"I'm looking for a Taoist priest because refining sulfuric acid is life-threatening. If I remember correctly, this thing should be called green vitriol oil now. The Taoist priest is familiar with this stuff, he knows it well, and his skills are in place. Refining sulfuric acid should be a good idea for a Taoist priest. It can be considered a familiar road.”

"The concentration of the refined alcohol and sulfuric acid is very high. As long as it gets on it, it will corrode bones in an instant."

Ordinary people really couldn't handle it. This was the reason why Lin Che insisted on finding a Taoist priest to refine it.

"Sulfuric acid is actually green vitriol oil? Isn't green vitriol a medicine?"

Zhu Ping was shocked when he heard this and said that this was not a Taoist magical power.

He clearly remembered that one day, a Taoist priest brought an elixir refined from green vitriol as a tribute to his father. His father laughed at that time and rewarded the Taoist priest with thirty pieces of gold.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at each other. They knew more about green vitriol than Zhu Chong did.

Of course he knew that green vitriol was a kind of medicine. As for whether it was poisonous, Zhu Yuanzhang never tried it.

"Then what is this gall alum? Is it also a Taoist invention?"

The more Zhu Xi thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and he hurriedly asked Lin Che.

"Gall alum? This thing should be called stone gall among the people."

Lin Che frowned. This thing seems to have been discovered by later generations, right?

No, this thing seems to have been called stone gallbladder in ancient times. "It turns out to be stone gallstone, one of the five poisons."

Zhu Cang suddenly realized that he was still wondering what it was. It turned out to be the stone gallbladder in the idiom, which contains the five poisons.

The remaining four poisons are:
Cinnabar, realgar, vitriol, magnet.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt like he had received a reassurance.

The Ming Dynasty was rich all over the world. It would be easy to find a Taoist priest to refine a pill, but it wouldn't be easy to find a Taoist priest to refine a fertilizer.

There is such a simple way to benefit the people.

Here, Zhu Biao put down the pen in his hand excitedly, his excitement uncontrollable:

"Sir, if this thing is refined, you will be a great blessing to the Ming Dynasty and all the people in the world! I think that every family will build a temple for you by then!"

"You will be a great sage who surpasses Confucius and Mencius!"

Zhu Biao sighed excitedly, but he was not flattering.

But this kind of transcendent divine object can really make Lin Che reach the sky in one step.

Every figure who creates an era will be remembered by you and the people.

Lin Che will create the No. 1 agricultural era!
"I'm afraid the reincarnation of gods is nothing more than this. It seems that my Ming Dynasty is going to give birth to a great saint and a great god!"

Here, Zhu Xi also stood up and said with admiration.

When I thought about it, I felt extremely proud. By then, he would be the first disciple of the Great Sage.

Hey, even if I, Zhu Ping, are just an ordinary citizen, I can easily climb up this towering tree like Mr. and leave my name in history!

Thinking of this, Zhu Xi looked at Lin Che as if he were looking at a land god.

"What a great saint, a great god, that's an exaggeration!"

Lin Che waved her hands and smiled. Although she could see that Zhu Xi was sincere in her praise, Lin Che still had no emotions in her heart.

"Don't be so excited. Let's wait until we can get those things. This method of developing chemical fertilizers is not easy, and it requires the full support of His Majesty the Emperor to be effective."

Lin Che looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and Lao Zhu knew that it was time for him to express his stance.

He put down the wine glass in his hand and said:

"Mr. Lin, you have worked so hard for my Ming Dynasty and given you advice. We have nothing to say. We will definitely develop the fertilizer you mentioned."

"To benefit the people and benefit future generations."

"With the guidance of Mr. Ming, we will surely prosper and develop vigorously."

"We, Lao Zhu, have nothing to say, so I would like to give you a toast to express my gratitude. Please, sir!"

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the wine glass, stood up and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor being so polite, Lin Che couldn't go too far, so she had no choice but to stand up and drink with her.

"However, with the use of chemical fertilizers, grain production can be improved, but it is not complete."

Lin Che's twist made the Zhu family's father and son pour a basin of cold water on their originally fiery hearts.

"Even if chemical fertilizers increase food production, what should we do if there are still insect pests? You must know that insect pests have always been the biggest enemy of food production."

History books record that the people were displaced and uprisings occurred one after another at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. In addition to the excessive oppression of the people by the court and officials, there was also an insect infestation in those years. The grain output was only one-tenth of previous years. Farmers had no choice but to choose in the face of natural and man-made disasters. Flee or take up arms and start an uprising.

"Sir! Since you said that, there must be a solution to control the pests!"

Zhu Xi has studied with Lin Che for so long, so he knows something about him. Since he raised this question, there must be a way to solve it!
