Chapter 28 How to Make Soap

The sky flashed again, and the scene changed.

A man and a woman were sitting opposite each other at home and chatting, looking like a married couple.

[Male: They say Wang Mang is like a time traveler, what do you think?]

[Female: Wang Mang, yeah I think he looks like him too]

[Female: First of all, the vernier caliper he invented is almost exactly the same as the one we have now. The weird thing is that he invented it 1700 years earlier than the French. You know, Westerners all believe in Christianity.]

【Male: Yes】

【Female: So they set the year Jesus was born as the first year of the Common Era. Coincidentally, Wang Mang also changed his reign title to the first year of the Yuanshi era in the same year. Did you know that?】

【Male: Yes】

[Female: Wang Mang once ordered the hunting down of all people named Liu Xiu]

【Male: Why?】

[Female: Because the person who finally overthrew him was called Liu Xiu]

[Male: This is so weird]

[Female: Wang Mang also carried out currency reforms many times, abolished slavery, established state-owned enterprises, and set up a loan mechanism. Wang Mang also did something that all time travelers want to do]

【Male: What?】

[The woman rolled her eyes at him: Become the emperor]

Late Han Dynasty, Nanjun.

Everyone looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

This matter has been talked about since the sky first lit up. According to people in later generations, it did not happen.

"Are there really time travelers?" Zhang Fei exclaimed. After all, this matter didn't sound reliable.

"There shouldn't be any! Otherwise why haven't we seen it!" Liu Bei thought for a while and said uncertainly.

"But if not, then how do we explain the evidence found by later archaeological excavations?"

"You mean the weird-looking tool that appeared in the last video? Is that the so-called swimming ruler?"

"Caliper!"

Moreover, it is indeed rather suspicious that Emperor Guangwu was called the Great Mage and the Son of the Planes by later generations. The suspicious part is the Battle of Kunyang.

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth to say no, but when he saw the sky, he closed his mouth again and lowered his head in thought.

Could this sky be a blessing from our ancestors?
They can even project the skylight into this era.
Yecheng.

Cao Cao laughed and said that people in later generations were too suspicious. If there were time travelers, why had they never seen one?

All the ministers laughed and agreed.

"If there really is a time traveler, I would like to meet him!"

"The Prime Minister is as talented and wise as Emperor Gaozu, and he is broad-minded and respectful to the wise and humble. I'm sure even people in later generations will be impressed by him!"

"Hahaha, that makes sense!"

Cao Cao picked up the bowl of water and drank it all in one gulp, with some fear in his eyes.

He had been suspicious and scheming all his life. What the man from the Sky Curtain said had already planted a seed of suspicion in his heart, and what was more, the Sky Curtain was right in front of him.

But there was one thing he couldn't understand. Compared with the prosperity of the present world, the prosperity of later generations was like the bright moon compared to a firefly. So what was the purpose of making such a big fuss?
So everything is still just suspicion, but we must be on guard.

Being in this position, there are many things that he cannot say even if he knows or guesses them. After all, maintaining stability under his rule is the primary condition.

The important officials under him were also well aware of this, and they tacitly acted out a play, and soon this conversation would be "leaked" to stabilize the people's hearts.

"Liu Xiu is cheating, both of them are wrong"

"Liu Xiu should be the son of the plane. Heaven saw that Wang Mang wanted to change history, so you saw Liu Xiu almost smoothly killed Wang Mang and became the emperor."

"Wang Mang also invented hair dye and was the first person in history to dye his hair"

"When there is time travel, there are multiple planes, and the plane you travel through is not necessarily the main plane"

"Time paradox cannot be time travel, but may be a multiverse"

During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin was also suspicious for a while, but he was not the kind of person who would waste time on internal conflicts. He believed that when an enemy comes, we will fight him with our generals; when water comes, we will block it with earth.

There has been no so-called time traveler to overthrow the rule for so many years, so there is no need to worry too much. This is not his style.

During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang became more suspicious. He did not like changes and could not tolerate them.

However, he knew that there was not much he could do, so he suppressed his dissatisfaction for the time being.

At this time, the young eunuch who brought the fourth brother back had not returned yet, so he ordered someone to go and see what had happened.

[What are you standing there for?! Hurry up and pour some tea for big brother! !]

[What foreigners? They are family members]

[Someone posted a question, why does China invite foreigners to its space station? ]

[Because the UAE really gave money, what does 300 billion US dollars mean? The total annual funding for the entire Chinese aerospace industry is not that much]

[The key is that they don’t even want any funding, they just want to fulfill their dream of going to the moon. ]

[Is that an outsider? He is the number one guy on the list! ]

[Hurry up and pour tea for Big Brother! ]

"It's 300 billion RMB, which is roughly equivalent to 50 billion US dollars."

"UAE: What? 300 billion to go to the moon? Aviation Administration: What? A ride can earn 300 billion?"

"Give you the money for a car, but only buy a ticket..."

During the Zhenguan period, Chang'an City.

1 USD = 6 RMB.

Li Shimin frowned, feeling vaguely that something was wrong.

If it is a copper coin, it would be fine if the copper content of the US dollar is 6 times that of the RMB, but the key point is that people in later generations used paper money?

This has been seen before.

Can paper be used as currency? Paper is not precious, and isn't it easier to make paper than to mint coins?

If paper can be used as money, then can't we just mint coins at will? And why are they all paper? Why is one piece of paper in other countries equivalent to six pieces in later times?
Isn’t this a disadvantage?
Is there any mystery in it?

If you can't figure it out, you can only ask your own questions.

Needless to say, the generals were not listening at all.

All the civil officials were very confused. No, what did you say?
It was windy just now so I didn't hear it.
Nanjun in the late Han Dynasty.

Zhang Fei never forgot about the DF-41 of later generations. At that time, Tianmu said that the cost was 23 billion US dollars, which is.
He counted with two fingers and scratched his head anxiously.

"Zilong, the DF-41 mentioned by Tianmu before cost 23 billion US dollars. Nowadays, 1 US dollar is about 6 RMB in the future. How much is DF-41 in RMB?"

Zhao Yun calculated with him again and finally determined it to be 138 billion RMB.

"Hiss" Even Ma Liang next to him took a breath of cold air.

Not to mention DF-41, what is this space station?

The last time he gave 300 billion RMB, was it just to fulfill his dream?
Do you want to see what you say?
This is enough to build two DF-41s. Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Liu Bei and others talked about paper money again. Why can paper be used as currency?
And the exchange rate, why is it this ratio? What is the basis for determining it?

We are all just one piece of paper, so why can your one piece be worth 6 of mine? Is it based on strength?
It shouldn't be the case. The reason is simple. A relatively weaker country will not agree to it. A dispute will lead to a conflict, which can only be resolved by force. Unless the country is overwhelmingly powerful, it is not worth fighting over such a small matter.

Anyway, I don’t understand it, but it looks very powerful.

"Shi Yuan, let me play the role of you, the merchant selling rice. I am the buyer of rice."

"Okay!" Pang Tong also became interested.

"How's the price of rice in your home?"

Pang Tong tilted his head and thought about it, then quoted a market price. Of course, this market price was not very market-oriented, because rice could not be bought through normal channels at present.

Zhuge Liang nodded and continued, "Then I am now offering five zhu coins to buy your rice. Why are you willing to accept my five zhu coins in exchange for your rice?"

At this time, everyone gathered around and Pang Tong stood there in a daze.

"Hey, the military advisor is not as good as me, Old Zhang. Isn't it natural to buy rice with five zhu coins?"

"Yes, five-zhu coins can be used to buy rice. Isn't that natural?" Liu Bei also asked curiously.

However, looking at Zhuge Liang's determined eyes, he was also confused.

Why can a five-zhu coin buy rice? Why not a six-zhu coin? A four-zhu coin?

Pang Tong's eyes lit up: "Because the Wuzhu coin contains copper."

However, before Zhuge Liang could answer, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, because this led to a new question: why can copper be exchanged for rice?
Before everyone had time to be happy, they saw the smile on Pang Tong's face and looked at Zhuge Liang in confusion: "Isn't that right?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "That should be wrong!"

"Oh my, why is the military advisor talking so fussy? It makes me so anxious."

"Yide, don't be rude!"

The key is that both parties feel they have made a profit

"UAE: Take your money and leave my space station [covering face]"

"Money is really useless. Top technology cannot be measured by money. Aircraft carriers can be turned into money, but money cannot turn into aircraft carriers."

During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin handed over the issues to a group of civil officials and started to look after the sky again. It must be said that he was really rich.

This so-called technology cannot be bought with money, so, can it be learned?

Li Shimin's eyes were burning, this was a gold mine!

He finally understood why later generations were so arrogant. The cost of DF-41 alone was 23 billion US dollars.
Even if the price is estimated at 100 billion US dollars in the future, it will not be sold!
Selling this would be a total steal!

Grab money!
It's all money!

"A piece of cloth on my head, I am the richest person on the blue planet"

"It turns out to be a dog owner [dog head]"

"Upturned corners of the mouth: China's space program? It's not that hard, is it?"

"Big brother likes men, no, I'm OK with that [dog head]"

In West Market, Lin Feng, a well-known swordsman in Chang'an City, was touching his hungry stomach with a look of resentment in his eyes.

Lin Feng traveled far and wide, suffered from hunger and starvation for so many years before he accumulated a little fame, but it was not as good as showing off a few words in front of others.

It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other!

Why do we need rich people in this world?
The sky changes again, and it is a journey through cold knowledge.

Many people during the Hongwu, Zhenguan, late Han, Yuanshou, and Qin Wangzheng periods were shocked.

The sky screen videos are varied and for them they are more of an eye-opener, or they are historical events that can prevent future disasters in advance.

The most useful thing left is the little-known knowledge about time travel.

That is real teaching, and it is the most useful.

[Travel Guide: Making Soap (Recommended Method for Earning Your First Bucket of Gold)]

[If you travel back to ancient times, earning the first pot of gold is always the hardest]

[In ancient times, people usually used soap, rice water or wood ash to clean dirt]

[Soap has many advantages over them. After watching this video, you will learn the soap making technology.]

[Soap has the advantages of low cost, low technical threshold, easy processing and unregulated]

[First we need to prepare some grease]

[You can use animal oil or vegetable oil. Filter the oil and put it in a large pot.]

[Add the soaking liquid of plant ash and alcohol, stir thoroughly]

[When a small amount of the mixture is dropped onto clean water without an oil film, a light yellow precipitate will appear after sufficient stirring. This is soap.]

[At this point, you can add spices or other colorants, take them out and pour them into bamboo tubes or molds to make soaps of various shapes]

[After standing for about half a month until it is completely solidified, you can sell it and earn your first pot of gold]

Huh??? Gone???

Then the process was repeated again on the sky curtain. Because it was too simple and each step in the sky curtain was accompanied by illustrations, Li Shimin also mastered it very well.

"The problem is that fats and oils were too precious in ancient times. There wasn't enough to eat, so how could we use them to make soap?"

"Pork was very cheap before the Ming Dynasty. People would buy some fat pork and fry it in oil to make soap, then sell it at a slightly higher price, and slowly the business would rise."

"In ancient times, no one ate pigs. They were not castrated yet and they smelled fishy [covering face]"

"You mean castrated pork has no taste?" Li Shimin frowned.

He didn't like pork very much because the conditions in which pigs were raised at that time were so disgusting.

Regardless, he ordered it to be written down.

"The first pot of gold is wine. Alcohol can be used to make perfume, disinfect, sell, make soap, and purify. This can be the established routine of almost all historical time travel novels, and you can write hundreds of chapters."

"What if I traveled to a place where moonshine is not allowed? [Covering face]"

"It's unrealistic. In ancient times, whether or not people had enough to eat was a problem. Brewing wine is too extravagant. It's better to talk about rice grafting technology [狗头]"

Nanjun and Jiangling City in the late Han Dynasty.

Everyone suppressed the doubts they had from the experiment and wrote quickly.

Every word of these later generations contains the secret of heaven.

For example, in winemaking, alcohol is probably wine? Or refined wine? Purified wine?

Can this thing make perfume? Kill viruses?
What is rice grafting?
This cost was too high in ancient times

《It’s expensive too》

In the Ming Dynasty, pork was more than ten coins per pound, which made soap sell for 300 coins. Sell a portion of it quickly to accumulate capital, and then lower the price after the technology is cracked. With the first pot of gold, you can do more technologically advanced things that are not easy for others to copy.

《I saw another method provided by other UP, which is basically the same: crush the burned shells, add water to make quicklime solution, mix it with wood ash water, then add the mixture to the oil, add a little salt and stir. The other steps are the same》

Liu Bei sighed in his heart, people in later generations always have many strange ideas, but are they all obsessed with doing business and making money?
Weird!
