Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 69 The Book of Commandments

In the study, Fang Jun drove everyone away, holding the pen in the air, his face full of confusion.

It is said that soap is much easier to make than glass, but how did the most crucial caustic soda come out?
Caustic soda should be made from soda ash. Soda ash is easy to obtain, but what exactly does it react with to get caustic soda?

No matter what, first write down what you remember and know, and study it slowly.

First, I wrote a general recipe for soap, recording my doubts and difficulties, and then I wrote a recipe for glass.Of course, the so-called formula is just a few raw materials. As for the detailed ingredient ratio, ahem, who would know when there was no Du Niang...

After thinking about it, he should lock the soap formula in the cabinet. He still has to think about this caustic soda and supervise the production himself. But he remembers that there is a by-product of soap making - glycerin, which will react with some strong oxidants. Explosion, it is better to be careful, don't make a big incident.

He is a half-baked science student. He has long forgotten the chemical knowledge he learned back then. He can't remember the equations at all, but it doesn't matter. He knows that glass is made of quartz, soda ash and limestone, and soap is made of caustic soda and lard. Even the gunpowder is made of sulphur, saltpeter, charcoal, and that's it.

There is soda ash in natural salt lakes. He has heard the phrase "sun salt in summer, and soda in winter". Limestone is found in the mountains, and quartz is also abundant in Shaanxi. Just give those servants to experiment, anyway, as long as the glass is burned, it doesn't matter what the quality is.

Many great inventions in human history were born from a flash of inspiration and then after thousands of failures in the laboratory.

Now Fang Jun knows the right direction, at least guarantees that this road can definitely reach the end, and has greatly shortened the distance to success, which is enough.

When he called Lu Cheng into the study and handed him the raw material formula of the glass and some precautions, he clearly heard the guy sigh quietly. He probably still thought that Erlang was making a fool of himself and didn't listen to Fang Quan's advice at all. .

No wonder he thought so, if you get a pile of rocks or something and burn them together, you can burn an egg...

Fang Jun was so depressed that he simply ignored him and didn't have time to pay attention to him.

Because King Wu Li Ke came again.

Fang Jun's strategy of "remembering the merits of the stone" has made His Royal Highness Wu Wang, who was in a downturn, make a strong reversal, which is a masterpiece.

This open and upright conspiracy not only amazed all those in the know, but also completely conquered the handsome and handsome His Royal Highness King Wu.

It is still free and easy, still long and beautiful, still so handsome...

Fang Jun's eyes twitched, a little jealous, how can a man be so handsome?However, there is not a hint of femininity yet, and the whole person is sunny and bright, which is also a blow to other people's self-confidence...

Li Ke didn't notice Fang Jun's strange expression, he grabbed Fang Jun's hand when he came up, and said happily, "Thanks to Erlang this time, Brother Yu will always remember the kindness."

He is a very strong person. It is not that he cannot accept failure, but he is not convinced by the conspiracy of his opponent.

Now that he has made a strong reversal, he is naturally in a good mood, and his demeanor is more cordial.

But Fang Jun couldn't take it anymore...

You say that the ancients are hypocrites, two big men, no matter how good their relationship is, do they have to hold hands to show it?

disgusting to death...

Shaking off Li Ke's hand without a trace, Fang Junqiang said with a smile, "Your Highness is too famous, someone dares not take credit, and someone is just a rude person..."

"Ugh!"

Li Ke pretended to be displeased: "Brother Xian, don't be humble, let alone belittle yourself. Anyone who dares to say that Brother Xian is a rude person will be rude all over the world..."

Fang Jun twitched the corners of his mouth, cooperating with what you meant, I am the thinnest man in the world...

Li Ke was very happy, and walked into the main hall without seeing the outside world, and said in his mouth: "And the hot pot you brought, I ordered someone to send it to the palace, and asked your craftsman to make me another one, and I will bring it all. already."

"That's no problem. I will send it to the palace in two or three days at the latest. Your Highness, please take a seat."

Hearing that there is money to be made, Fang Jun is in a better mood and becomes more polite.

But it is sad to think about it. He used to be a dignified county-level cadre, and now he is the second generation of the most prominent official in the Tang Dynasty.

A few copper hot pots have been sold one after another, but this stuff has no technical content. It is said that some people have begun to imitate it in the world.And for Fang Jun, who has inherited our party's fine tradition of "going big and fast", this stuff is too slow to get money...

But no matter how thin the grasshopper is, it is still meat. Selling a few more dollars can also alleviate the cost of purchasing glass raw materials. Since he knew that the family's economic situation is not good, he has never asked his family for money.In any case, it is not a glorious thing to be a rice bug.

"The father has already made a will to appoint someone as the governor of Anzhou again."

Li Ke sat on the couch with ease, with a happy expression on his face, his handsome face seemed to be glowing.After speaking, he took out a letter and handed it to Fang Jun.

Fang Jun sat across from him, and was surprised when he finally signed a new one.

On the new signature, there is no letterhead, no inscription, the font is calm and natural, the gesture is euphemistic and subtle, the whole text is beautiful and vigorous, and it has the charm of Wang Xizhi. It is actually a letter from His Majesty Li Er to Li Ke.

"I use the monarch to visit Zhaoshu, and to express all nations. You live in Mao's relatives, send it to Weiping, think about the way of Qiaozi, and be good at the virtue of peace between the two. Rule affairs with righteousness, rule your heart with propriety, and rule the three winds and ten trespasses. Don't be careless. In this way, the stone will be solidified, and the city will be maintained forever. Outside is the loyalty of the ruler and the minister, and inside is the filial piety of the father and son. It is advisable to be self-inspirational, so as to make the new day. I am afraid of being arrogant and extravagant. Therefore, this sentence is admonished as a court order."

What does that mean?

Roughly speaking, His Majesty Li Er hoped that Li Ke should obey the righteousness and courtesy when dealing with others, and that he should be self-motivated and self-motivated as a minister and a son.
The characters are well written, and the same words are also very particular. At first glance, it is just a letter from home.

But the key is in the last sentence.

This is clearly a letter from a father educating his son, and it should never be said as an emperor. This shows that His Majesty Li Er attaches great importance to and favors Li Ke.

But Fang Jun became more and more confused. Since His Majesty Li Er loved Li Ke so much, why didn't he always put Li Ke among his goals?

After reading the letter, Fang Jun respectfully returned his hands to Li Ke.

This is not because of the calligraphy of His Majesty the Emperor, but because of Li Ke's trust.

Being able to show Fang Jun the family letter written by the emperor to him shows that Li Ke has regarded Fang Jun as a relative and friend, and he is unsuspecting.

For Li Ke, who was born in the royal family and was in the midst of the turmoil in the deep struggle for reserve, it was very rare.

Fang Jun is very affectionate.

Even though he knew clearly that the handsome and suave His Royal Highness King Wu was a short-lived ghost, definitely not a towering giant tree that he could rely on, and would not bring him any substantial benefits, he still happily accepted this friendship.

You treat me with a countryman, and I should repay it with a countryman!
You treat me with passers-by, and I repay passers-by!
You treat me with rubbish, and I will retaliate against it!
This is Fang Jun's life creed, the life creed of a "half-handed official" who is not fully benefited.
