I am the king of the dead

Ink making in the Ming Dynasty is a very cumbersome process, mainly people from Huizhou, who live in Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Chenxi and other places all the year round, for tung oil, besides tung oil, there are also pine oil, pine and so on.

Refining tung oil to get cigarettes, one person can take care of a hundred smoke lamps, one catty of tung oil can get one or two cigarette ash, and the best cigarette ash can be sipped, squinting at the sun, you can see red color, which is the best choice.

For pine oil and pine trees, use flue boats to splice more than ten feet of pine boards like boat canopies into more than ten feet of chimneys, with a section of smoke holes at every interval, called green smoke near the tail, which is the best. Near the middle section is mixed smoke, which is an ordinary abrasive, and near the head is smoke, which is painted or printed and dyed books after grinding. These books are usually infamous anthologies, story books and novels written by major bookstores and poetry clubs. .

And taking the soot is only the first step, after that, it needs to be blended. These blends are secrets that are not passed on. As far as Zhu Qiyu knows, there are hundreds of blends of blends, and then it is molded, dried, The gold is drawn, and finally it becomes a finished product.

The ink made in this way is naturally extremely expensive. Even the abrasive made of pine smoke mixed with it costs more than 200 Wen per catty.

The ink used in Jingtai’s four-year New Daming Banknote, the ink used in this banknote, is a royal unique formula, the black powder of tung oil heated under anoxic conditions, and various fish and shellfish are added to boil the glue for blending. materials, and finally form a golden tung ink.

This is the traditional ink and ink. This kind of ink does not have a little smell, and even has a herbal aroma of pine and tung trees.

However, the ink hair made by Nianfu, Beilin, and Zhan Zhongnuo is stinky.

"Take insect galls and crush them, sieve insect corpses, add a small amount of shochu, and then put in pig iron to get ink ash. Add acid glue to this ink ash and boil it to get stinky ink." Zhan Zhongnuo was rather embarrassed Said: "It stinks, and you have to shake it before using it, and it turns from blue to black when it is written. At best, it can be regarded as ink under a pine tree, but it has an advantage, that is, it is cheap."

Zhu Qiyu asked suspiciously: "Galls?"

"It's the tumors formed on oak and sumac trees after being bitten by insects. It's very common." Zhan Zhongnuo continued to explain: "It was also discovered at the Tai Hospital. Insect galls are detoxified, especially after being bitten by poisonous snakes. If you can't seek medical treatment in time, The ability to attach insect galls to the surface was discovered during the Yongle period when Annan was conquered, Jingtai reconquered Annan in the eighth year, and the Imperial Hospital gave this medicine to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.”

"That's it, it's very useful."

Zhan Zhongnuo brought something, with a unique fragrance of plants, it was a kind of brown-yellow powder, and Zhu Qiyu knew what it was at a glance.

He has seen.

In some unspeakable small games, it needs to be cleaned with glycerin, otherwise the smell will be stinking when the gun is carried with the stick, and the small game is too unattractive. Every time Ran Siniang cleans up, she will fill a small spoonful of this in the glycerin. , for cleansing and detoxification.

This gall powder can be used for more than these two purposes. If you want to lose weight, drink this thing for a few days, and it can eliminate the big belly. It is the main ingredient of the slimming tea widely spread in later generations. The result is malnutrition, and Severe stomach stones can form.

Glycerin with gall powder is used to treat ulcers, burns, bed sores, frostbite, etc. If more gall powder is used, it can be used to treat inflammation such as stomatitis, tonsillitis and pharyngitis. For detoxification gastric lavage.

We would like to thank the Ling Chi criminals of Jiejieyuan, who provided practice for the medical progress of the Ming Dynasty, and also contributed their own strength to the paper and ink making of the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Qiyu finished watching the ink making, he felt a little regretful. He couldn't use this kind of ink because he used a fountain pen. At present, the craftsmanship of this kind of ink can't be used on a fountain pen. The fountain pen has relatively high requirements for the fineness of the ink.

Then Zhu Qiyu also looked at other things that Zhan Zhongnuo was developing. Zhan Zhongnuo didn't know what he was doing, but Zhu Qiyu knew very well that Zhan Zhongnuo was working on three acids and two alkalis, and soda ash had a breakthrough. Engineering is in progress.

Ammonia is added to salt water, limestone is calcined and passed into ammonia brine, and finally filtered and calcined to obtain soda ash, and the filtrate can also be distilled with milk of lime to recover ammonia water for recycling.

What can soda ash do?Soda ash is the most basic chemical raw material and the stepping stone to the door of chemical industry.

Zhu Qiyu can only feel that the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty really have the power to change the world, but they used this power to improve the productivity of the Ming Dynasty, and they went forward indomitably.

The miracle card he rewarded was well deserved.

The day before yesterday, Yao Kui, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, led the Ministry of Rites to publish "The Book of Rise and Decline", which was a victory for the old party's political and economic speculation. Today, paper and ink, as well as the soon-to-be-released three acids and two alkalis, are victories for the Labor Party.

The labor party headed by Li Binyan in the Ming Dynasty, and the old party headed by Shang Ren have begun to wrestle in the court. This is not a party entrapment, but a fight for the way. What is fighting for is the words of the Ming Dynasty ten or 20 years after Yu Qian put down his government affairs. right.

This is one of Daming's speculative processes.

The final winner of this round of great speculation must be the old party, but the new party can temporarily gain a certain advantage, and occupy a certain right to speak, and always occupy a certain right to speak, that is the blessing of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty.

Why did the Ministry of Industry and the top ten calendar bureaus donate simple paper machines first, and why do they need to make cheap ink?
Naturally, it is to cultivate the core strength of the Labor Party. Scholars from farms and artisan cities must be scholars who are active in the political arena, or to cultivate artisan aristocrats.

In fact, the military households in Ming Dynasty were an extremely active political force until the Chongzhen period.

Famous ministers, Li Dongyang in the Zhengde period came from the Jinwu Zuowei Confucian School, in the Longqing period Zhang Juzheng was in the Jingzhou Wei Confucian school, in the Tianqi period Ye Xianggao was from the Fuzhou Guard, Sun Chengzong was from the Baoding Right Guard, and Yuan Keli was from the Suiyang Guard.

Generals, Zhao Fu in the Jingtai period came from Jining Left Guard, Qi Jiguang in Jiajing Year came from Dengzhou Guard, Yu Dayou came from Zhangzhou Guard, Ma Gui in Wanli Period came from Datong Right Guard, Li Rusong came from Tieling Guard, Man Gui in Tianqi Period came from Xuanfu Wei, Sun Chuanting during the Chongzhen period came from Zhenwuwei.

Whether it is Zhu Qiyu, Li Binyan, Nianfu, Beilin, Zhan Zhongnuo and other new parties, they are all working hard to promote the schools of Ming Dynasty craftsmen and peasants. Naturally, they hope that they can become famous ministers and generals like military households, and maintain Daming craftsmen and peasants. Power in court.

This is a beautiful long-term vision that requires down-to-earth, step-by-step construction.

When leaving, Zhu Qiyu asked Nianfu to follow him on the big driving jade scorpion. He looked at Nianfu and said, "There are three fires for a new official to take office. I think that starting today, auspiciousness is not suitable for old things. Only in terms of results, can Dingjia, Big, upper, middle, and lower grades of auspiciousness, take "Ode" as the chapter, and require to explain its principles and connotations clearly, which can be verified repeatedly, and then the extraordinary merit cards will be bestowed. In the middle, use the power of the head and Qili according to the situation, and play the Qili card, this is the fifth grade of auspiciousness."

"To use auspiciousness, you have to give money to the auspicious person. You can't let the auspicious person donate their ancestral secret recipes for nothing, right? It can be done according to the number of times, or according to the share."

Zhu Qiyu was dispatching, not discussing. He thought for a long time. Daming actually had countless strange recipes, but these secret methods passed down from son to daughter eventually disappeared in the long river of history. Many of them have reference value and need A selection method that collects these methods.

And auspiciousness is the way he thought of. To offer auspiciousness, the Ministry of Industry and the ten major calendar bureaus rated it, and combined the efforts of the whole people to help improve the productivity of Ming Dynasty.

This is also a stage set up by Zhu Qiyu. To put it bluntly, it is a patent, and "Song" is a patent application. The workers actively contributed their ideas and participated in the grand event together.

"If it's difficult, just tell me and I'll help you." Zhu Qiyu looked at Nianfu and gave him the most honorable support in the world.

After coming out of the top ten calendar bureaus, Zhu Qiyu went to the Beijing camp, inspected the army horses, and fired a few shots. Looking at the targets, he was a little puzzled about his marksmanship. This terrifying target and hit rate is real. No, it wasn't Xing'an trying to fool the emperor.

In order to prove that he really hadn't changed the target paper, Xing'an specially asked Xiao Huangmen to return to His Majesty with the fifty-step target and the one-hundred-step target, and the gun hit.

Targeting needs lead, and Xing'an is very clear that His Majesty has identified a target and only has that target in his eyes.

After Zhu Qiyu returned to Beijing from Beitucheng, he returned to the lecture hall and continued to process the memorials. It was not until Zishi that he stretched his waist and prepared to go back to the backyard to rest.

Ran Siniang tossed her hair blown by the spring breeze, got out of the car, stood in front of the backyard door, and saw the reassuring figure of Emperor Ming. You can live with peace of mind.

Ran Siniang clearly remembered how she felt when she saw her husband.

That was when she came down from the Embroidery Building of Hailongwei in Bozhou, and was sent all the way to Nanya Bieyuan. She saw the disciplined and uniform troops of the Ming army, she saw the countless cities and fortifications of the Ming Dynasty, and she saw the flags waving. Guard of honor, she saw the majestic palace that looked like a heavenly ladder.

It was a long time later that she clearly understood what she saw from His Majesty's few words, and that was violence, orderly violence.

This level of violence is definitely not the same as the violence she saw in Hailongwei. There are no dog butchers in the back alleys, and there is no happy grievances in the rivers and lakes.

Beside the emperor, there are only tidiness, silence, solemnity, and solemnity. People are divided into performing their own duties, maintaining the operation of the country and society in an orderly manner.

The Miao people in the Eighteenth Cave led by the Hailongwei Yang of Bozhou are very brave fighters, but in the face of the violent state machine of Daming, this kind of bravery is meaningless.

Ran Siniang has always been a smart person, she is clearly aware that under this kind of neatness and order, there is a set of great terrors far beyond her cognition supporting the operation of this system, and it is the control system that keeps this machine running. Everything, everyone, everything, life and death, a thing called Fadu, like countless tentacles, stretched out to every corner of Daming.

And the person standing in front of her is the culmination of all these orders: the emperor.

Is the Ming emperor a person?Zhu Qiyu is of course an individual, and Ran Siniang has verified countless times that His Majesty is a very normal, strong, and impactful person, with his own emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy.

But Emperor Daming is not a human being, he is a human god with countless tentacles who controls the entire Ming Dynasty in his hands.

The moment she saw the emperor, she took off her veil and let the emperor see her beauty. Her special nature as a prisoner of war and her handsome appearance were seen by his majesty, so she can only marry his majesty or go to Baiyi nunnery As a nun, no one in the world would dare to touch her again, because she was witnessed by the emperor in the world.

The emperor always told Gao Jieyu not to be so restrained, how could she not be so restrained?

Every word and deed of this man determines the rise and fall of Ming Dynasty.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Ran Siniang in a daze, and shook her hands in front of Ran Siniang's eyes.

Ran Siniang came back to her senses, opened her arms in front of the backyard, hugged her husband, and said in a low voice: "Husband, I have a question in my heart. I have kept it in my heart for so many years. I have always wanted to ask it, but I never dared to ask it before." Ask, now I want to ask."

Zhu Qiyu felt that Ran Siniang's mood was a little strange and strange, and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter?"

Ran Siniang hugged Zhu Qiyu hard, her voice was a little trembling, but she still raised her head firmly and looked at her husband, and asked forcefully, "Are you not afraid that I will avenge the Yang family of Bozhou if you put me in the palace?"

"Although our Ran family has enmity with their Yang family, the Emperor Daming was not prepared against a Miao woman. If I came here with a mission, what if the Bozhou Yang family asked me to kill my husband? My husband didn't think about it." Have you been? How dare you accept me into the palace."

After Zhu Qiyu heard about it, he laughed twice and said: "Didn't you come here with a mission? Changping Hou Yang Jun captured the family of Yang Ai, the Yang Family Propaganda Envoy in Bozhou, and they confessed that you are a killer, and you can use poison." , Yang wanted you to kill Yang Jun, and later you were sent to us, so the target should be us."

"Husband knows?" Ran Siniang widened her eyes and looked at Zhu Qiyu in horror, as if she had realized who her husband was for the first time. She was a master of poison, so she let go of her hand a little and sent Zhu Qiyu away in a physical sense. It is not difficult for people to go on the road.

Zhu Qiyu said as a matter of course: "I knew it from the beginning."

"Wouldn't it be better to send me on the road earlier?" Ran Siniang frowned, she couldn't figure out why the emperor would keep such a dangerous person by his side.

Zhu Qiyu sneered and said: "You are a woman, we are a man who stands up to the sky and the earth, the big Hailongwei, we have given him up, afraid that you, a little goblin, will escape from our Wuzhi Mountain? Didn't you give birth to two? kid?"

"Besides, we gave you a chance to run away. If you don't run away yourself, you have to stay in Tai'an Palace."

Ran Siniang stood on tiptoe and kissed Zhu Qiyu's cheek, leaned closer and said: "Husband, I have prepared a refreshing program for you, you go to wash up."

From the moment Ran Siniang saw Emperor Daming, all she wanted was to get close to this creature she couldn't understand, understand this creature, and even possess him.

After so many years, Ran Siniang has done it. As for the mission given to her by the Yang family in Bozhou, why should she obey it?Because of the unfaithfulness, filial piety, benevolence and injustice of the Yang family in Bozhou, they oppressed the people of Guizhou and demanded too much?
Ran Siniang is a very smart person and she is very rational, irrational, how could she be on duty in the Sanctuary?She actually knew that she was not only carrying herself on her shoulders, but also the tens of millions of Miao people in Yunnan and Guizhou.

Now, she is very happy, and the Miao people in Yunnan and Guizhou are also happy.

Zhu Qiyu finished washing, looked at Ran Siniang's appearance, subconsciously took a step back, even though he was well-informed, he called him a good guy!

"Is my concubine planning to let me be the foolish king who will never come to court?" Zhu Qiyu took Ran Siniang into his arms.

Ran Siniang blushed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Most of the time, confidante and disaster are commendatory words, but when describing a woman, it seems to be praising her beauty and hard work.

Ran Siniang directly entangled Zhu Qiyu. At this point, her husband's first thought was to cherish her. She knew that if this went on, she would not be able to hold back this exciting show. She gasped and said, "It's so good!" .”

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Qiyu put on his clothes, looked at Ran Siniang who was still lying on the bed, leaned over and kissed her, and said in a low voice: "I still have a court meeting today, and I have to inspect the military horses, so you can rest."

Ran Siniang was very tired, half-closed her eyes, and said charmingly: "It seems that I am not a temptress yet, my husband still has the strength to go to court."

"make persistent efforts."

"Let's go." Zhu Qiyu walked out of the backyard and looked at his horse. In the end, he didn't try to be brave and chose to drive. People have self-knowledge. Riding a horse at this time is causing trouble for Xing'an and Lu Zhong.

"Let's drive!" Xing'an flicked his fly whisk, yelled loudly, and went to the Wenhua Hall to discuss with the court.

The heart is beating, it is love like fire, you are laughing, the crazy person is me, love is like fire, it will warm my heart, I see, the flame of love is flickering.Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! !
