Chapter 125 Jin Zhong

In the lobby of Puli County, you should sit upright in the middle.

This place was originally the residence of Earl Charles, which was magnificent, but the layout did not conform to the aesthetics of the Ming people. The three floors and the bottom floor were all open to the lobby. The living room and study of the self-established magistrate Cao Changqing were on the upper floor, and the attic on the top floor was transformed into a dan house.

Although Taoist Master Cao was not a Taoist in the Dragon and Tiger Daojun Temple, he occasionally gained something to seize the city this time and obtained many ancient books by the barbarians, especially the alchemy that was popular in Europe at this time, which made Taoist Master deeply fascinated and therefore did the method on the top level.

By the way, this month, people don’t care about these things, they all call them experiments.

If it is not refined, it is called the experiment failure, and if it is refined, it is called the experimental result.

Now, Taoist Cao is in the attic in the attic using the ancient method of dissolving natural alum, that is, copper sulfate, to obtain stone bile essence, that is, sulfuric acid, in Euroi alchemy, to verify that the method of dissolving natural green alum, that is, iron sulfate, to obtain green alum oil, and sulfuric acid, is mutually verified.

He suspected that different stone gallbladders had the same thing in order to make the same stone gallbladder spirit.

The essence of stone gallbladder is a very important thing. Ancient books say that it contains all medicines, and medicines are all magical. Our ancestors have realized the characteristics of sulfuric acid that can easily react with all things.

These conjectures and new discoveries attracted Taoist Cao to invite the merchants of the Ming Dynasty to collect more ancient books on alchemy for him. Of course, he not only asked the merchants to collect about Europe, but also asked people to return to Asia to take a ship to return to China to collect this part of the information for him.

No matter which country or where things are, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, Master Cao’s mind is almost blank in his knowledge of these things.

But fortunately, knowledge is something that is easy to inherit. As long as there are books and words, as long as you can get books and words, it is easy to inherit even if you are far away from mountains and seas.

Just like Europe gets this knowledge from the Arabs, if you don’t believe it, look up, who will the heaven spare?

The yamen was being renovated, and merchants invited local craftsmen from Puli County to add several walls to divide the compartments for the lower floor houses used to be used as restaurants. At the same time, they drew drawings and ordered some simple furniture to decorate the hall.

However, the furniture has not been well-made recently, so there are not many woodworkers in Puli County. Now they are all busy making coffins for the fallen soldiers of the Makino Army.

Li Yuxi was not convinced of the craftsmanship of English local craftsmen and only wanted to produce strictly sealed coffins, so he did not hesitate to pay wages higher than 30% of the market price.

No one expected that Li Yuxi ordered coffins for the fallen soldiers, the hearts of the citizens in the city who were originally restless due to the siege of the city were defeated in one fell swoop.

After the battle outside the city, the citizens who had previously ran out with the nobles had nowhere to go. Some of them returned to the city and their houses were occupied. There was no such thing as this. The county arranged housing for them, but it was often not satisfactory.

Dissatisfied, many people died in the war, and many soldiers died in the war, and many of the dead soldiers were related to the surviving citizens. There was originally hatred in people's hearts, but individuals who did not go through connections could not cause any storm.

Many small groups in the city were connecting them intentionally or unintentionally, but Li Yuxi ordered the coffin, and most of the people who planned to rebel stopped.

What a joke, my god, each of them has a coffin when they die!

Humans are very tough animals, but I'm afraid of comparison.

It’s like the Spanish soldiers in the New World don’t think it’s bad to get Spanish or French, because that at least means that the person has sex.

The same goes for the citizens of Plymouth, who died without a coffin.

When the person died, he would just be buried in the church cemetery. A plague broke out in the city a while ago. The cemetery was buried all over the yard. The corpses of the courtyard were crushed by corpses. The bodies of decades and hundreds of years rushed into the wealthy family next to the church along the wall. The children playing under the wall were crushed to death. The housewife was injured. A few days later, the owner's wife died of infection with the plague.

What kind of coffin is needed? That is something that only the lord has.

Of course, this is not rigorous. In this era of materialism, coffins are no longer a privilege of nobles. Usually, rich people with annual income of more than 50 pounds will prepare coffins when their families die. However, most citizens cannot achieve this income. The whole of Europe has caused social turmoil due to rising prices. People's wages have not increased for a long time, and most proletarians cannot maintain a decent life.

A decent life is no longer possible, let alone maintaining a decent death.

There are only two places in Europe that are still rising, one is London and the other is Amsterdam, because the best workers are there, because that is the center of the European wool textile and shipbuilding industry.

Even in Puley County, all citizens know where the problems in the whole of England are, but no one can solve them - as long as they have money, the English can buy everything they want, but they lack food.

This answer may not be so clear in the eyes of individuals. They will attribute the problem to their lack of money or their food is too expensive. Only a few people know that the fact is that their land does not grow grain. The lord and the wealthy businessmen are busy raising sheep and opening factories, so where can they have time to grow grain?

People who cannot solve problems are full of imagination, but in people who can solve problems, such things cannot be called problems.

If there is no place to grow grain, please buy it outside. If you sell it outside, you will go find new land... Everything is the spontaneous personal behavior of merchants. If you find a cheaper grain production area, will you make a big profit after transporting it back? And if there are more people who find cheap grain production areas, will the grain price drop?

It's very natural.

Therefore, the English royal family vigorously promoted the Irish colonial cause, so there is a sentence in "History of the Palace of Ayland": In the spring of ten years, the Haiyi came from afar and invaded the Tailong Guard. The general Han Jinhuan commander Ying Ming attacked the thieves in Hekou County, and the ships were sank, and the corpses were scattered, and the reefs were scattered.

Therefore, English merchants worked hard to explore the unknown land in the north of the New World. Therefore, the "Makino County Chronicle" also has a sentence: In the summer of ten years, a barbarian came and said that the people were despised. When the merchants traveled to the sea, they would encounter hurricanes, and the boats collapsed and people died. The county provided food and clothing to make a career. In February, they wanted to cheat the local women, and went to Changdao to cross the track. The woman picked up pebbles and hit the top, but she was unable to cure them.

Therefore, this problem is still not settled.

Although citizens feel uncomfortable when they see these foreigners who occupy the city, every soldier who fell to the death can afford a coffin, which is obviously very rich!

So everyone's wish to rob the prison and release the count Charles, so they took advantage of the situation and turned to the new lord. Oh no, now they are called the magistrate and the general. They want to petition the magistrate and the general to see if they can find a way to reduce the price of food.

This question is very interesting, according to his idea, it’s not enough to raise any sheep and go back to farm? What, do you say there is no land? It’s so easy to deal with without land, so let’s divide it.

However, at this moment, he encountered a problem when he was inviting the general manager of the Makino Central Camp and entrusting the important task.

The headmaster was called Song Yang. Before Ying Ming could praise him, he had already said that the idea of ​​shouting in the enemy's words on the battlefield that the count was dead was not his, but his adopted son's idea, and planned to introduce his godson to Ying Ming.

His adopted son and Ying Ming were half of his fellow villager, and he came from Suning, Zhili, Beizhili.
