Zhizhang Datang

Chapter 194

"Is that what they are doing? What are they?" Li Shimin asked curiously after recalling the work of the farmers he saw just now.

Here is another rather deep impression left by the farmers, that is, compared with the farmers in other villages, these people in Linjiazhuang have a particularly high-spirited spirit.

Perhaps compared to their previous life, their situation has changed a lot, and they have good crops and so many industries that can be expected in the future. Not to mention what they are busy with, but the one in Zhuangzi People come and go to the bustling oil factory, which can bring them a lot of income. That kind of soybean oil is now a hot commodity in Chang'an City. It seems that the oil factory also has their share, and they are always beaming. It is also understandable.

Of course, if you let Lin Sen say it, Li Shimin obviously underestimated a very important item, that is, the children of the farmers now have books to read, which is no different from a big booster for them. Let them find more and better goals, and naturally they will be extra motivated.

When Li Shimin and the others returned to the earthen building, they would probably be able to see this. The louder and louder reading sound could easily remind them.

Even those old farmers who went out to work must have left their children at home, and most of their wives were at home, and the children of the new farmers' families had to start a new class. Lin Sen couldn't favor one over the other in this regard.

If it hadn't been for the accidental discovery of two literate people among the newcomers, who not only released Lin Sen temporarily, but also took up the content of the culture class, Lin Sen would not be so leisurely, and he would go with Cheng Huaiyu when he had nothing to do. Make a new perfume.

"It's mainly two things." Lin Sen felt that these were all his potential customers, and they could also be used as a gimmick in external publicity. At this time, of course he wanted to arouse their interest as much as possible.

"Needless to say the raw materials, the main ones are the flowers and plants that can repel mosquitoes that I saw just now, but the finished products are quite different.

This kind of circle around I call it 'mosquito incense', as the name suggests, it is a coil used to drive away mosquitoes.

Compared with the original fire rope, this kind of mosquito-repellent incense burns for a much longer time. It can burn for about four hours. It is enough to order such a plate in one night.Moreover, the mosquito repellent effect of this mosquito coil is much better than that of ordinary medicinal incense or burning fire rope, basically no mosquitoes will disturb it. " Lin Sen introduced confidently.

In fact, there were indeed things like mosquito coils in ancient times, which may be related to the hygienic customs of the Dragon Boat Festival and the custom of burning incense and offering sacrifices.

Some insecticides such as realgar are added to ordinary incense sticks, which can be regarded as one of the medicinal incenses with many effects. Others are dried herbs such as mugwort or wormwood, which have certain mosquito repelling effects, and weave them into Put the straw rope in the house to burn, which is to burn the fire rope.

Realgar is actually the original arsenic, one of the most important insecticides in ancient times. It is used in drinking realgar wine and soaking in medicinal baths, in order to remove insects inside and outside the body.

However, if it is used as a mosquito-repellent incense, it would be a little harmful to the human body. However, Lin Sen replaced the main active ingredient of this mosquito-repellent incense with pyrethrum, which is relatively safer.Of course, in order to ensure the mosquito repellent effect, an enhanced version with realgar will also be provided.

In addition, some mint, wormwood, willow bark, etc. are also put in. In addition to their own insect repellent effect, they can also be used as adhesives to facilitate making them into shapes.In addition, in order to facilitate drying into the shape of a large ring with a small ring, a special grid is also indispensable.

"There is another thing I call 'colossal dew', which can be used to repel mosquitoes, and can also be used to smear mosquito bites, help relieve itching, and can also be used to refresh the mind. The effect, but this volatilizes faster and the effect will be shorter.

But I think women will prefer to carry this thing with them. Lin Sen chuckled and took out another small bottle, poured out a little on the back of his hand, and then passed his hand to Li Shimin for him to smell it.

The aromatic components here are naturally derived from the hydrosols left over from the distillation of plant essential oils. If you increase the dose of mint and add a few flavors of antipruritic drugs, realgar is unnecessary, but pyrethrum is indispensable. To be precise, it should be called "mosquito repellent toilet water".

"If it's really as good as you said, then you should prepare more of this mosquito coil, so that you can distribute it to all the officials later. As for the toilet water, you should also prepare more and send it to the palace."

Under Lin Sen's suggestion, Li Shimin made some toilet water and applied it to the temples, and immediately felt refreshed. Considering the group of women in the palace, it's not good to be too partial, so he made a decision first. a batch.

Based on Lin Sen's usual urination, the price of the mosquito coil should not be too expensive, but this toilet water, if you want to send it to all the officials, it will definitely be a big expense. , It's better not to call him.

"It's for buying, not for you to contribute. Look at your stinginess." Li Shimin saw Lin Sen's pained expression, and then he continued a little unhappy.

"That's kind, my boy thanked His Majesty in advance. Then what, after all, are they all the fruits of labor of the peasants? I have to consider for them." Lin Sen immediately answered, and even defended himself.

"Sure enough, it's not a family, don't go into a family." Li Shimin pointed at Lin Sen and shook his head helplessly, then nodded Cheng Yaojin again, which means that Lin Sen is about to become a second-handed man like Cheng Yaojin , is still desperate for money.

"Your majesty, the boy's family is poor, and you know it. It's time for a betrothal gift, and the boy is really not generous." Lin Sen still appealed for himself with an aggrieved face.

"Okay, you kid robbed me of the money, it's useless to say more. Let's go, it's time to go back to your tulou to see if it is really as solid as the rumors, and let someone see it Let's see what the private fortress looks like." Li Shimin waved his hand to stop Lin Sen from talking, and walked towards the tulou first.

"Boy, that's just an earthen house with thicker walls. It's not really a fortress. It can protect the farmers well. We should not only thank His Majesty for his care, but also benefit from the stupid gangsters. For a veteran general like Lord Yi, the boy has already taken all the farmers to flee for their lives."

Lin Sen hurriedly flattered him, and showed his loyalty by the way. He didn't want to be labeled as a privately built fortress, and he didn't even have the intention to fight against Li Shimin. He just wanted to be a simple warrior honestly Well, as far as he is concerned, he can't expect to play tricks with the real people present here, it's better to be sincere.

Apparently Li Shimin also understood Lin Sen's thoughts, and nodded his head lightly, which could be regarded as a disguised approval.

"Well, this gate really took a lot of thought. It is a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack." After carefully looking at the various mechanisms of the gate and the somewhat narrow corridor behind, this is the master of the art of war. Li Shimin also praised Lin Sen's ingenuity.

"I just don't know what good things you have in this building." Li Shimin stroked his beard and said expectantly.

PS: I recommend a friend's book, "Back to the Ming Dynasty to Be a Tyrant", and those who are disobedient will die to me!
