Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 248

What the Bingzhou Taoist priest wanted to dedicate to Li Buqi turned out to be sulfuric acid!

With sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and dyes can be produced.It is not an exaggeration to say that sulfuric acid has opened the door to the chemical industry. Li Buqi wanted to make such an important thing by himself after a while, but he did not expect it to appear so quietly as a by-product of Taoist alchemy.

Li Buqi was also deeply moved by the half bottle of dark liquid!
Li Buqi put away his thoughts of assassinating the old man, and asked the old man carefully how he got the sulfuric acid.The old Taoist took out a dark book and flipped it page by page to explain to Li Buqi how much pyrite he used for alchemy as gold, how much lead he used, and sometimes mercury, cinnabar and other miscellaneous things. What kind of phenomenon will appear.

This is an experiment record!This was the first Taoist priest Li Buqi saw in the Song Dynasty who carefully recorded the experiment, so he boasted: "Xianchang remembers the notes well."

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist said, "It's because of Mr. Li."

"Oh? What does it have to do with me?" Li Buqi wondered.

The old Taoist said flatteringly: "A few years ago, my junior brother traveled to Tokyo and heard about the reputation of Daguan Li, and heard that Daguan Li was teaching the Dharma at Qingyuan Academy, so he went to listen. It happened that Daguan Li was teaching the method of experimentation. After returning, he and Pindao said it, and now Pindao started to take notes every time he made alchemy."

This is unintentional.Since the old man can help to spread the method of keeping experimental records, then Li Buqi can't be too stingy, and gave the old man three thousand coins, which made the old man so happy that he couldn't find it, and immediately went to the market to buy the raw materials for alchemy.

After the old Taoist was led out, the leftover asked Li Buqi curiously: "Teacher, what is the use of this dirty water? Why is it worth three thousand guan?"

Li Buqi still can't say what is the use of sulfuric acid, because logically speaking, he can't know.He rolled his eyes and said: "When a baby is born, no one knows what kind of person it will become when it grows up. But if a child is endowed with extraordinary talents, it is very likely to become a great weapon in the future. I also like this thing I don't know what uses it has. But according to the Taoist priest, this thing can melt even steel, and can dissolve many things in this water. As far as I know, there is no other thing that can do this. This is Like a child with extraordinary talent, if you study it carefully, it is very likely to be of great use in the future."

After pondering for a while, Li Buqi said again: "For example, we have done an experiment, plating a layer of copper or tin on an iron plate can make the utensils bright and not easy to rust. But before copper and tin plating, the iron surface must be cleaned with vinegar. Otherwise, the plating will not be firm. Vinegar needs food to make, and food is always in short supply. If this acid can be used instead of vinegar, it will save a lot of food.”

Leftover nodded repeatedly and said, "Sure enough, everything in the world is useful."

Li Buqi chuckled, and asked him, "In a month or two, the Wubei Primary School will be ready, so you can go to school there. You can learn more interesting things there than in the Free School. In the future, you can learn from the school." After graduation, he will be a good man capable of writing and martial arts."

Leftover asked, "Will Niu Man and the others go too?"

Li Buqi said: "Wubei Primary School is a school ordered by His Majesty to enroll the children of soldiers who died in the war. Naturally, Niu Man and the others cannot go."

Seeing the leftover's disappointed expression, Li Buqi encouraged him and said: "You will meet many new friends when you come to Wubei Academy, and they will treat you the same as Niu Man and the others. Wubei Academy has a rest every six days, and you can come back later. Playing with classmates from Yixue."

Hearing what Li Buqi said, Leftover happily went to play.It seemed that he wanted to tell Niuman and the others the news.

After the remaining son left, Yao just handed the newspaper in his hand to Li Buqi.What Li Buqi saw was a full-page interview, and the person being interviewed was Dong Renzhang, who served as a marching councilor in the army.

This interview is Dong Renzhang's fight for Li Buqi.Previously, the "Current Affairs News" and "Business Daily" of Qingyuan Academy had reported how the Liao people brutally drove the Han people into the city, which made the public opinion completely biased towards Li Buqi.This time, Dong Renzhang used his own experience to illustrate the correctness of Li Buqi from another aspect.

He said that on the way to Zhuozhou, Li Buqi ordered him to lead a hundred cavalry to plunder the Khitan manor.When he passed a garden and saw that it was owned by the Han people, he ordered the soldiers not to disturb it, and sent someone to tell the Han people that he was the master of the king.But what he didn't expect was that just after they left, a group of men and horses came out from the garden and attacked them from behind. They were caught off guard and suffered a lot of damage, and Dong Renzhang also received an arrow.

Fortunately, the police cavalry had received rigorous training after all, and when they reacted, they immediately besieged and killed those people with absolute superiority, but when they interrogated the prisoners, they found that they were all Han Chinese.This made Dong Renzhang very puzzled, so he personally asked the captured leader, who was originally a Han, why he attacked Wang Shi.The leader refused to admit that he was Han, and even said a few words that shocked Dong Renzhang.

"The Southern Dynasty was weak and could not protect its people. The Northern Dynasty captive the people of the Southern Dynasty and returned them. When did the Southern Dynasty dare to pursue them? The Northern Dynasty killed the people of the Southern Dynasty, but the Southern Dynasty dared to retaliate? If I were from the Southern Dynasty, I would be invaded and plundered by the Northern Dynasty; I am from the Northern Dynasty , then there is no such worry. And the Northern Dynasty only needs to demonstrate to the Southern Dynasty, the Southern Dynasty seizes the wealth of the people and bribes the Northern Dynasty, and the Northern Dynasty rewards us with what we get. It can be seen that the northerners are expensive and the southerners are cheap, so what am I doing as a Southerner?"

Dong Renzhang was greatly irritated by these words. At that time, he loudly reprimanded the leader for forgetting righteousness for profit and forgetting his ancestors. The leader probably knew that he would die, so he scolded Dong Renzhang, saying: "My ancestor is the Great Tang! How could it be that the Great Tang conquered all directions? Is it comparable to such a cowardly move in the Southern Dynasty?"

In the end, the leader was hacked to death by furious warriors, but his words made Dong Renzhang fall into an ice cave.After telling this story, Dong Renzhang said sadly: Wherever the officers and soldiers passed by, the Han people in the Liao Kingdom did not have the behavior he imagined to welcome the king's army. Yes, it can be seen that no matter how cowardly Song Dynasty continues, it will definitely lose the hearts of Yanyun Han people and the land of Yanyun completely.In the end he yelled that Da Song couldn't be weak anymore.

There is also a comment below the interview. The author pointed out that if the Liao people treated the Song people cruelly, but the Song people could not retaliate, they would be regarded as weak by the Liao people and would be bullied even more. This is also unfair to the people of the Song Dynasty. so lost.

Li Buqi flicked his finger on the comments section of the newspaper and said, "It's a pity, those old-fashioned people in the court will find all kinds of reasons from the pile of old papers to prove that they should be gentle with the Liao people, and prove me wrong."

Yao Gang patted the folding fan in his hand and said, "The official's theory of 'the Three Emperors cannot be law' is really a stroke of genius. Even the Three Emperors can't follow suit, so it is doubtful whether the things in the pile of old papers are still useful. Now The debate on whether the Three Emperors can follow suit and the debate on whether they should be unprincipled and gentle with Yi and Di are mixed together, but there is excitement to watch. Since the officials don't want to be promoted too quickly, then at this time, if the fire is lit, they can hide far away. Watch the fun everywhere."

The guard outside the door reported: "Mr. Zhu is here."

When the curtain was lifted, Zhu Changsheng walked in and said with a chuckle, "It's exciting to watch now. Some people don't care about the people, but face matters. Just now, I went to the Imperial College with a few people. , Most of the supervisors and the teaching staff scolded the stupid people for being unreasonable, but there were also supervisors who scolded the chief executives for being useless, and I think that the Guozijian could not be consistent in criticizing the officials in the future."

He lowered his voice and said, "If you're making a fire, it's the prime ministers who have a headache, right?"
