The daily life of a science genius who travels through the book group

Chapter 256

The next day Song Qingyue began to take over the internal affairs of the entire palace in a serious manner.

She got up early in the morning and met the stewards one by one.

On the first day today, I definitely can't do anything, that is, meet with the various managers one by one, and get familiar with the public account books first.

The important masters are not in the mansion, Song Qingyue thought that there was not much to do, but it turned out that she just met with the nurses in charge of various courtyards in her father-in-law's backyard all morning!

Haven't seen it yet!

In the backyard of the palace, there were as many as 130 four women who were slept by that romantic father-in-law!
It takes four and a half months to complete the cultivation without stopping every day, one by one...

Simply refreshing the view!
Since then, King Su's tall, handsome, handsome, mighty, enlightened and intelligent image has collapsed into pieces in Song Qingyue's heart, it's so dirty!

Pigs and horses don't play like this, do they?

With so many women, he is not afraid that his body will be overwhelmed!

Just to raise so many women, the annual expenditure of the palace is as high as 10,000+ taels of silver.

The backyard of Prince Su’s Mansion is relatively peaceful, there must be some small-scale battles, but not many fatal ones, and the treatment is relatively generous. It’s no need to think about the women who have fallen out of favor to become rich, but a well-off life can still be guaranteed .

In fact, when looking at the account book, Su Wang himself felt that there were too many people. Several times he wanted to let people out of the house to marry freely, but no one was willing to leave.

Wang Fu is really a pure and innocent seed!
That prodigal man!
Song Qingyue almost cursed while holding the account book.

If Li Zhao dares to be like his father in the future, she will definitely make that guy hard. The prescription Meng Wanfeng gave is still there!
After checking the accounts for the morning, Song Qingyue felt dizzy. After lunch, she decided to take a nap. Just as she was about to take a nap, Eunuch Yang, who was in charge of intelligence work at King Su's Highness, found her.

"Eunuch Yang!" Song Qingyue hadn't seen this one before, her gaze lingered on Eunuch Yang's dull face, and she felt that the looks of these secret guards were the kind that were not easy to remember, so dull that she could hardly find him. No features come out.

Eunuch Yang was a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, and explained: "Now the clan mansion is under strict supervision, even we dare not sneak in easily. Although there are people around the palace, the palace occupies a large area, and there are always loopholes." It can be drilled."

"But there is news from the son?" Song Qingyue looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes.

Eunuch Yang hesitated for a second, shook his head, and said, "I haven't heard from you yet."

Song Qingyue looked at Eunuch Yang with an unfriendly look, full of doubts, as if she was sure that he had a connection with the crown prince, and Eunuch Yang's calf twitched.

"Forget it if you don't want to tell me! Let him just die outside and never come back!" Song Qingyue was so angry that she couldn't know about some shitty secret plan?How about reporting her safety?
Eunuch Yang still insisted on the principle of keeping his mouth shut, cleared his throat and continued to say what he should say: "The prince's account books, he entrusts you to take care of them until he returns to the mansion. Come with me to the prince's study."

Song Qingyue nodded in agreement, and took the shoulder car to the study in the front hall of the middle road.

"it's here."

Mr. Yang used the key to open a niche hidden behind the bookshelf, and there was a very heavy iron cabinet inside.

He clicked east and west on the iron cabinet, and several mechanisms popped up. Finally, a row of rollers similar to a combination lock appeared, with different patterns engraved on them. Eunuch Yang fiddled with it a few more times before opening the iron cabinet.

Song Qingyue gasped in admiration in her heart, this even has a safe!

"The account books are here, please have a look." Eunuch Yang took out the account books and handed them to Song Qingyue.

Song Qingyue opened it and browsed through it. It turned out that this booklet recorded the expenses of the craftsmen and the guards of the palace.

To Song Qingyue's surprise, the income of the artisans in the cave was so high!

Calculated, their annual salary is almost the same as that of Wangfu Liangyuan!
"The salaries of the masters are quite high!" Song Qingyue exclaimed, pointing at the craftsmen.

Eunuch Yang laughed and said, "His Royal Highness King Su spent a lot of money to poach them from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Are the craftsmen in the House of Internal Affairs treated well?" Song Qingyue became curious.

Eunuch Yang nodded: "In addition to the monthly allowance, there are also reward silver, pension silver, support silver, Anjia silver, and rice, flour, food, and cloth distributed during festivals. If the ladies in the palace have any special jewelry that needs to be worn, they You can also get extra income. It took a lot of effort for the prince to recruit them back then."

Song Qingyue was amazed: "As long as all the old ones are paid out, right? If there are extra expenses, where do I get the money?"

"From the prince's private account." Eunuch Yang said with a smile.

Tsk, this man's small coffers don't look small!

After Song Qingyue browsed through the account books, Eunuch Yang started talking about something else: "The people in the palace reported that the emperor's dangerous period has passed, and he is awake and able to review memorials normally, but many things are still handled by the Supervisor of Ceremonies. "

Song Qingyue sighed, and asked, "So on the surface, the Supervisor of Rituals is helping King Shanjun, but he is actually the one who abolished the Crown Prince?"

Eunuch Yang was startled, and wondered how the concubine Shi Zi knew that the chief inspector of rites, Yu Shanjun, had colluded with him?His Royal Highness really told the Imperial Concubine everything, he respectfully said: "I haven't found out these things yet. But I heard that the emperor had a high fever and fell asleep, and he said the little words of Empress Xu in his mouth. Maybe the emperor is nostalgic."

Song Qingyue raised her eyebrows: "Then the inspector of ceremonies is stepping on two boats?"

In the book, after the prince was deposed for the second time, he was demoted to a common man and imprisoned by a high wall. However, the current situation is that the situation of the abolished prince is much better than that in the book, and he even got a county king in front of him. The emperor's father-son relationship has also eased in the past two years.

Empress Xu has ruled the harem for so many years, and her influence in the palace has long been deeply rooted. It is reasonable that some people are willing to serve her and the abolished prince.

Eunuch Yang was noncommittal. All along, they neglected to monitor the deposed prince, which was his negligence.

Song Qingyue saw the shame in Eunuch Yang's heart, and comforted him in turn: "Anyway, since the emperor has improved, it is a good thing, and I hope that the father will be released soon."

She habitually wanted to sigh, but suppressed that sigh.

The more this happened, the more she couldn't relax. She sighed, and her subordinates would become anxious.The calmer she is, the more confident her subordinates will be in their hearts, and the more unshakable she will be.

"Before the father and His Royal Highness return to the mansion, it is the most important thing for us to take care of our home." Song Qingyue's gentle but firm tone calmed Eunuch Yang's tense nerves.

He nodded, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "The concubine Shizi said very well. But there is another piece of news, the old slave thinks that I can ask the concubine Shizi to think of something. After the emperor woke up a few days ago, he put a few A cabinet minister was called to ask questions, and the sea ban was mentioned."

"The emperor intends to ban the sea?" Song Qingyue frowned.

"Winter seas are stormy, and merchant ships and fishing boats run less. It is not uncommon to implement sea bans in winter." Yang Gonggong said.

"Then what if it won't open after spring?" Song Qingyue asked.

Eunuch Yang nodded heavily: "That's why we have such serious concerns! The spies we placed in various houses came to report that the voices of the court and the central government approving the sea ban are getting louder and louder. As a result, our palace's income will be tight again. Concubine Shizi, you have always had many ideas, even if the prince is not here, as long as you give an order and you point east, we will never dare to go west!"

Song Qingyue propped her chin in thought.

It stands to reason that even if the imperial court issued an order to ban ordinary sea merchants, it would not be able to ban groups such as Su Wangfu and Jingguo Gongfu, which also had huge influence in the court.

The sea ban will only lead to monopolistic smuggling, and the benefits in it are huge, so it is the officials who are related to the Chen family who call the sea ban the most.

Why does King Su not agree with the sea ban?
Song Qingyue suddenly thought of the more than 100 prince's women in the backyard of the palace, no, they were all sent by the sea merchants in Fujian and Guangdong, right?

If those maritime merchant families have interests involved with King Su's mansion, it makes sense that King Su needs to protect his own people.

Song Qingyue made a good guess. Most of the women in the backyard of King Su's Mansion were from merchants or low-level official families in South China. The family's honor and disgrace were all tied to the big ship of King Su's Mansion, so no one could leave.

Speaking of which, Su Wang is actually quite a good person.

Song Qingyue appreciates the idea of ​​not eating alone, not being greedy, and everyone earning money together.

No matter what the reason is that King Su's Mansion disapproved of the sea ban, but the voices of the court are so loud now, it is always better to be prepared.

Suddenly she thought of something, she hooked her fingers at Eunuch Yang, motioning him to come and talk: "There are two ways to make money." She stretched out two fingers.

"Say it, my slave will remember!" Eunuch Yang's face became serious.

"One is to refine a metal called aluminum," Song Qingyue said.

Eunuch Yang's eyes widened: "Metal? New?"

Song Qingyue nodded: "It looks like silver, but it is lighter than silver, and it is easy to shape. It can be used as a kettle or a washbasin. It can be used for anything. The main reason is that it has a large amount of minerals, which can replace copper and iron in many cases."

"Can it replace copper and iron?!" Eunuch Yang was shocked again, his medium eyes staring into two big copper bells.

"No, no, not necessarily! I'm only responsible for extracting things. As for what to use, you can figure it out yourself!" Song Qingyue emphasized, "Give me a few days to think about it, and when I extract the aluminum Draw a schematic diagram of the process, and you can give it to the master over there, and they will definitely be able to understand it."

Eunuch Yang nodded repeatedly, looking at Song Qingyue with eyes filled with admiration.

Not to mention Eunuch Yang, the secret guards in the house who are in charge of Song Qingyue's safety now look at Song Qingyue as if they were looking at a fairy sister.

Can refine things that can replace copper and iron!
What is the origin of the princess?No wonder Shizi and His Royal Highness King Su value her so much.

Song Qingyue continued: "The second method, um...not very moral."

Eunuch Yang laughed twice, and said with great anticipation: "Just say it!"

"Big gangster." Even though Song Qingyue kept her voice extremely low, the guards with excellent hearing could still hear it clearly.

I don't know what kind of geomantic omen Su Wang's mansion is. It is simply a den of thieves. When Eunuch Yang heard the words "big cheater", he became obviously excited, and asked with great interest: "How to cheat? You just say it's okay! "

Song Qingyue looked at Eunuch Yang's excited little eyes, the corners of her mouth twitched, and suddenly thought of a word, called a nest of snakes and rats. Of course, she didn't mean to scold herself.

"If you don't have any money, we can borrow it." Song Qingyue said.

"You mean, is there any borrowing or not?" Eunuch Yang immediately understood.

"Elder-in-law, you have a lot of information. Let's find a big family with a handle, lend him 80 million taels, and promise to repay him % of the profit in two years, or simply double or even triple it. At that time, maybe our prince has It’s on the top, how to pay it back, whether to pay it back or not, isn’t it up to us?”

All the hidden guards in the room were dumbfounded.

The princess concubine who is as pure as a lotus fairy... can be so treacherous!
Sure enough, the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is!

Song Qingyue glanced around guiltily, and then at Eunuch Yang whose eyes were shining. She swallowed with some difficulty.

She is probably the most serious time-traveling person who is the villain in history.

After thinking and thinking, his eyes scanned the room aimlessly, and when he saw a half-burned candle, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he spoke again, saying, "You don't need to be so direct, we can wrap up this matter." a bit."

"Package?"

"Well, you can put it another way, for example: financing."

"Financing? What do you mean, please explain carefully." Eunuch Yang was extremely respectful like a student humbly asking for advice.

"I remember that His Royal Highness has three white wax insect breeding gardens in Guangxi. Let's take white wax as an example. If you find an opportunity to release the news, say that our palace has discovered a kind of insect that can produce super high-yield white wax overseas. It can produce our domestic white wax insects. Two or three times the amount of white wax. Let's say that it takes two to three years to grow it to a large scale, and it can only be raised in the Lingnan area. You need to find a big family that is willing to invest in shares, not too much, first you need 10 Two. Two months later, we will give him a batch of white wax, and then ask him if he is willing to make an additional investment. It is not impossible to ask for an additional investment of millions of taels. When it expires, we will talk about the bug It's not suitable for our climate here, I got an unknown strange disease, and died a lot..."

Song Qingyue pursed her lips and didn't say any more.

Since it is an investment, it can only be responsible for its own profits and losses, and there is no reason to go.

"Hiss! Wonderful!" Eunuch Yang's pupils seemed to be dilated because of excitement, and he couldn't help clapping his hands and exclaiming: "The concubine is brilliant! Clever!"

Song Qingyue lowered her head in embarrassment. In her previous life, she had seen too many fancy ways of cutting leeks. Regarding how to get money, there was no faster way than finance.

Among them, the fastest way to get money is the Ponzi scheme.

It's just that the indiscriminate attack range of the Ponzi scheme is too wide, the method is too wicked, and it will be backlashed. Even in special times, she doesn't want to use it. She still has to find a wicked big family and target her to make her conscience a little bit better. install.

In the feudal farming era, people hated and despised businessmen for a reason.

There are too many unscrupulous businessmen colluding with government and businessmen to harm the public.

"How to do it, Eunuch Yang, look at the arrangement, I won't participate! I don't have that ability." Song Qingyue immediately put on an appearance that I don't know anything, and I don't know anything.

Eunuch Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, leave this matter to our family, and our family promises to run it beautifully. But the servant needs to withdraw 1 taels from the account to make a game, and you have to sign it." Character."

Song Qingyue curled her lips and gave Eunuch Yang a supercilious look.

She really didn't want to take part in this kind of immoral thing, but what should she do? Not only did she get on a thief's ship, but she also served as a military adviser for the thief.

Eunuch Yang smiled and said: "Don't worry, our family will find a few profiteers who usually bully men and women and do all kinds of evil."

Song Qingyue snorted, can you be white if you eat black?After all, it's still black.

After dismissing Eunuch Yang, Song Qingyue went back to take a nap to recharge her energy and think about electrolytic aluminum in the afternoon.

You have to think carefully, the gas from the electrolysis is likely to be poisonous, she has to write it in the precautions, the cave is not well ventilated, it is best not to do the experiment in the cave.

I don't know if it's because I'm tired or nervous these past few days, I took a heavy nap in the afternoon, and when I woke up, the sun was already in the west.

After Song Qingyue got up, she rinsed her mouth, washed her face, and asked Eunuch Wang and Lin Wanfu's subordinates to help find books about making ceramics, alum, and bauxite.

For electrolytic aluminum, she only knows a rough theory, and needs to search for information about aluminum mines in this era.

The maids of Wufangzhai collectively went to Zangshuge to search for related books, while Song Qingyue herself searched in Li Zhao's study.

Didn't he claim to be well-read? He should also have books on handicrafts, right?

From the west of the sun until the sun goes down, the room is too dark.It was a place with a lot of books, Song Qingyue was afraid that something would happen, so she ordered the candles to burn down the good book collection pavilion, so she asked everyone to stop and wait until the sun came out tomorrow morning to continue searching.

One of the little Huangmen found a book that recorded the production process of alum, and handed it to Song Qingyue. Song Qingyue rewarded him with a two taels silver peanut, which made Xiaohuangmen smile with joy.

Song Qingyue read the book for a long time, and found that the alum of this era was extracted from a kind of alum ore. When it was dug up, it was already crystallized, not the bauxite she needed.

Moreover, the largest producing area of ​​alum ore is Wenzhou, Zhejiang.

So this road is not going to work, Zhejiang is the sphere of influence of Lord Jing, and they will definitely not be able to sneak there to mine.

And how much alum can there be?How much aluminum can be produced?
Also have to look for records related to bauxite.

So on the second day, Song Qingyue only asked everyone to find records related to kaolin and kaolinite.

As long as bauxite is found, the process of refining aluminum is not complicated.

First of all, caustic soda solution and hydrochloric acid solution must be prepared. The manufacturing process of caustic soda solution is quite mature, but it is not easy to turn chlorine gas into hydrochloric acid.

So Song Qingyue planned to directly use sulfur to make sulfuric acid, but the catalyst for the oxidation of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide could not be found, vanadium pentoxide, so he thought of ways to heat and pressurize it. In short, it is not difficult to make sulfuric acid from sulfur.

With concentrated sulfuric acid, add table salt, then heat and distill, the gas that comes out is hydrogen chloride, and then put hydrogen chloride into water, you can get very good quality hydrochloric acid.

With caustic soda and hydrochloric acid solution, the next thing is easy.

For the time being, kaolinite powder is regarded as bauxite, then add hydrochloric acid first to dissolve aluminum and iron, and then filter to precipitate silicon, and then add excess caustic soda to the filtrate to precipitate iron and manganese Impurities, carbon dioxide can be passed into the filtrate to obtain aluminum hydroxide.

Aluminum hydroxide crystals are then heated to obtain alumina.

The last step is to directly electrolyze alumina to obtain aluminum and oxygen.

But before that, she has to get out the generator that holds the anode and cathode together...

Before she drew the generator with fixed anodes and cathodes, Mo Zhu first found records about "bauxite", which is a kind of soil that craftsmen like to add when firing porcelain and high-quality bricks.

The distribution is very wide, and it is distributed in Shanxi, Henan, Guangxi, and Guizhou!
Song Qingyue's eyes lit up, this bauxite should be bauxite.

Guangxi and Guizhou are both Lingnan areas, and they are the boundaries where Su Wangfu has the freedom to mine!

When she gets the steamboat out in the future, she will definitely encourage Su Wang to go mining in Australia.

hum!

After knowing that there was bauxite, Song Qingyue worked like a chicken blood, and stayed up for several nights before finishing the final draft of the aluminum smelting process.

There are too many issues that need to be considered from theory to actual operation, such as what kind of container to use for each step, what kind of material to use for the filter screen, how to judge the excess of acid and alkali, etc.

There are still some data in the middle that need to be obtained through experiments. Song Qingyue has marked how these data are measured.

What are the characteristics of the solutions in each step? Strongly corrosive substances are also emphatically marked, and there are also written on the side what to do if you accidentally get it on your body or splash it in your eyes.

I also wrote a note at the end: This method pollutes water and land, please carry out production in areas far away from lakes, waterways and cultivated land.

She really can't do anything about environmental damage. Which country doesn't develop industries without environmental pollution?With the current scale of production, there is probably not much damage to it, so we can only turn a blind eye and close one eye with a tangled mood.

She wrote down every detail she could think of.

After this aluminum smelting process book made Eunuch Yang send the aluminum smelting method to the cave, Song Qingyue felt that he could finally take a rest.

Looking in the mirror, the dark circles under my eyes are already thick enough to be scary. If I continue to suffer, my head will be bald. I don't know when His Royal Highness Su Wang and Li Zhao will come back. I am really anxious to death!

When he woke up, he didn't expect King Su, nor Li Zhao, but the concubine brought her three sisters-in-law back to the mansion.
