Chapter 59: Kill an acquaintance first with the first knife
Next, Zhu Zhen began to become busy.

However, what made Wang Fu a little puzzled was that Zhu Zhen did not continue to make glass, but was busy asking people to collect various things.

It's like asking people to cut bamboo outside the city, and then bring it back and tell them to burn it into activated charcoal.

"Your Highness, if you want carbon, there is a pile of it in the blacksmith shop," Wang Fu reminded.

Zhu Zhen said angrily: "What I want is activated carbon."

"Is it possible that Carbon is still dead?" Wang Fu couldn't understand.

Zhu Ming couldn't explain it to him, so he just went about it alone.

At the same time, people kept sending all kinds of miscellaneous things, such as a pile of weeds, branches, and various stones.

In the end, Wang Fu learned the lesson and didn't ask any questions. He just watched from the sidelines to see what else the prince wanted to do.

Those seemingly useless weeds and branches were eventually burned by Zhu Qi. Then he collected the ashes and put them in a bamboo basket like treasures.

This is an important material for Zhu Chu to prepare to extract the lye.

"It just so happens that you have nothing to do, please help me write down all these processes." Zhu Zhen glanced at Wang Fu who had nothing to do, and simply gave him a pen and a piece of paper and asked him to record what he had done. Things to do down here.

Zhu Chu is only responsible for figuring out the feasibility of these things. As for the manufacturing of specific objects in the future, he will definitely leave it to others.

So Zhu Chu started experimenting with his own hands. It was the carbonization stage of bamboo charcoal activated carbon and the activation stage again. This time, it was completed naturally and at once.

Zhu Ming also explained these processes to Wang Fu.

"After carbonizing the bamboo, you have to maintain the high temperature for a period of time to carry out the activation stage, otherwise it will just be ordinary bamboo charcoal, you see," Zhu said proudly.

After all, he was not a professional in this field, but he succeeded all of a sudden, so of course he felt proud.

As a result, Wang Fu just lowered his head and quickly wrote down Zhu Ming's words, and said without raising his head: "The last one will be stupid, and the last one will not understand."

He really doesn't understand.

What is the difference between activated carbon and bamboo charcoal?
Zhu Chu rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He first treated the bamboo charcoal with activated carbon, washed it with water and then reshaped it, then placed it in the yard to dry naturally.

Zhu Chu then took the plant ashes and soaked them in water to mix them up.

To others, they might think he was playing in the mud.

Only Zhu Chu himself knew that this process was very important. Only by obtaining soda ash could he further consider the issue of glass and soap.

After that, he filtered the turbid muddy water, and finally boiled the filtered water.

"Your Highness, can this thing also make syrup?" Wang Fu was stunned.

"Who said I have to boil syrup?" Zhu Min's mouth twitched. Where can there be sugar in plant ash?

After purification by filtration, and concentration after heating, as the water in the pot evaporates, some thick solids begin to appear.

That's lye.

Zhu asked people to stop the fire, and then waited for the lye to form on its own, and then crushed the solid into soda ash powder.At this time, Zhu Chu turned into a scientific researcher and continued to extract various chemical substances during the Ming Dynasty.

Yesterday, he could only obtain the raw materials directly through cheating the system, but today, he has begun to extract the required raw materials by himself. It must be said that this is a great improvement.

Wang Fu also recorded the entire process. Although he didn't know what it was doing, he also guessed that it was a very important process, and it was even the material used to refine the glass.

But Wang Fu also wondered, how did the prince know so many strange knowledge points?Could it be that the teachers in the palace would teach this?
Moreover, he has been following Zhu Zhen, but he doesn't know when the raw materials Zhu Zhen took out yesterday were made behind his back.

Is there someone outside the prince?
Wang Fu was shocked. He was not jealous, but worried about what if Zhu Zhen, the vassal king, was plotting something?
Zhu Zhen was too busy to notice Wang Fu's complicated expression.

The only pity is that although Zhu Xi is very lucky, most of the raw material extracts he needs now are produced in Yunnan or nearby areas.

But it still takes a lot of time to find someone to collect them.

Zhu Ming was not in a hurry, but said to Wang Fu: "You have been watching me do these things with your own eyes, so you don't need me to say anything next, right? Go find a house in the city and arrange some trustworthy soldiers. , let them extract these things for me according to the procedures you recorded."

Wang Fu nodded and immediately turned around to make arrangements.

After all, Zhu Zhen is the vassal king, so he does not need to be responsible for these matters personally. As long as he demonstrates it once and Wang Fu records the process in detail, the people below will naturally make preparations.

And in the following days, when Zhu Chu sent many people to collect the extracts and began to send them back to Dali City, Zhu Chu's glass manufacturing plan finally got on the right track.

In mid-October, the first batch of glass worth 100 yuan was finally released.

Zhu Zhen was also on site at the time and found that the glass technology of this batch was better. Not only was the glass surface smoother and smoother, but the color of the glass was also completely colorless.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhu would have thought it was produced in a modern factory.

Zhu Ming nodded with satisfaction and said: "This first batch of goods will naturally be sent to take care of Uncle Mu."

Wang Fu knew that the uncle Mu in Zhu Chu's mouth was Mu De. Poor Mu De was already very old and was still cared about by Zhu Chu.

This concern is not a good thing. Wang Fu knows that Zhu Min is going to kill Mu De with a knife.

"Your Highness, why are you really doing this?" Wang Fu asked, dumbfounded.

When the Mu family showed their loyalty and sincere hospitality to Zhu Ming, Wang Fu always felt that the prince was a little sinister.

Zhu Ming waved his hand and said: "Stop talking nonsense, why do you think I have been busy for so long? If I don't make money, more than 6 of you will have to drink from the northwest wind in the future?"

Wang Fu curled his lips, Li Shuran, the prefect of Dali, naturally would not let them, the guards of the king, drink from the northwest wind. They still had military pay every month. Although they were not rich, at least they still had some spare money.

"What? You can't bear it anymore? Don't worry, when I save more glass and sell it abroad, I will only kill you harder," Zhu Xi comforted.

Wang Fu was speechless. What kind of comfort is this?
However, Wang Fu and Mu De did not have a deep friendship. Since Zhu Zhen insisted, he could only send a group of soldiers and then use a carriage full of weeds to leave Dali and send them to Lijiang.

At the same time, Zhu Zhen saw that glass technology was beginning to mature, so he completely let go and was ready to do something big.

He even bought several houses around the blacksmith shop and expanded more furnaces.
