The Three Kingdoms began with self-reliance as king

Chapter 261 Becoming a Public Enemy of the Family (Thanks to "Immortal Zhang Niubi")
Over time.

The quicklime in the pond is gradually transformed into slaked lime.

Calcium carbonate and sodium hydroxide are then gradually formed.

Calcium carbonate precipitates to the bottom of the pool, and the extracted supernatant is the sodium hydroxide solution they want, which is commonly known as caustic soda.

It is one of the most important materials for making soap!

The purity of these sodium hydroxide solutions is not enough, Liu Yi asked the workers to use gauze to filter and purify the caustic soda solution a second time.

And put the obtained caustic soda into a sealed and dry barrel for later use.

After finishing making the sodium hydroxide solution.

The rest of the steps only need to be done step by step.

Pour part of the caustic soda solution into the pot and heat it to boiling, then pour vegetable oil and other raw materials into the caustic soda solution, and stir evenly.

In this process, oil and caustic soda will undergo saponification reaction.

Due to the slow progress of the saponification process, in order to speed up the saponification reaction, Liu Yi hurriedly asked Zhang Ling to fetch alcohol and pour a small amount of alcohol into it.

Gradually, a layer of viscous liquid appeared on the upper layer of the solution in the pot.

These viscous liquids gathered more and more, and the corners of Liu Yi's mouth rose slightly.

Because these objects are nothing but the soap he wants to make.

Everyone in the crowd became a little restless.

They didn't know what these viscous things were, and they smelled okay, but they couldn't arouse their appetite at all.

Seeing Liu Yi's calm appearance, they also forcibly suppressed their restless hearts.

Looking at the vegetable oil in the pot is getting less and less, and the viscous liquid is accumulating more and more.

Liu Yi did not stop, but ordered people to continue adding sodium hydroxide solution and speed up the stirring until the viscous liquid no longer contained vegetable oil.

After scooping up a spoonful of the viscous substance, Liu Yi knew that the work was about to be done.

Just wait for these viscous substances to cool, and you can get a gel-like soap.

But this is not enough, Liu Yi's goal is solid soap.

So he added some salt water to the jelly-like soap to further separate out the impurities in the jelly-like substance.

Wait until the solid soap is formed, and then cut them into small squares one by one, and it will not be far from the common soap in later generations.

In order to upgrade the soap to scented soap, Liu Yi further carried out heating and alkali analysis treatment until a layer of yellow translucent viscous liquid was obtained.

He carefully took out a porcelain bottle, poured the pre-extracted essence into it, and the fragrance of the workshop flowers and plants overflowed.

Just smell it a little, and you will feel refreshed and refreshed.

Liu Yi took out another heart-shaped mold, carefully put the obtained jelly into a special mold, and pressed them into the shapes of hearts.

After that, just wait for it to dry naturally, and you can get a piece of beautiful love soap.

These soaps were naturally prepared by Liu Yi for Zhang Ning.

As for Dian Wei's big bosses, some small cubes of soap are enough, men don't need to be too delicate.

Both the soap making and toilet soap process are successful.

Liu Yi let out a long sigh of relief, showing a satisfied and relieved smile.

Next, you only need to hand over these technologies to Zhang Ling and others, and they will be responsible for mass production.

Sweat soaked his clothes, but his heart was filled with endless joy.

The operation is not complicated, as long as you have your hands.

The hard part is thinking of how to make this.

If Liu Yi hadn't happened to make it, let alone make it, he might not even have thought of making soap.

After all, soap can make do with it.

Dian Wei and the others carefully looked at the soap in front of them, wondering why Liu Yi spent so much effort making it.

Is this also for eating?

Don't say it yet.

Now it not only smells good, but also looks quite appetizing.

Looking at the heart shape.

Liu Yi suddenly came up with more ideas to enrich and perfect the production of soap.

If you add different flower essential oils, you can get products with different fragrances.

By pressing with different molds, products of various shapes can be obtained.

Create a type that is liked by men, women and children, and avoid products that are too single.

Liu Yi only needs to provide preliminary ideas, and Zhang Ling will naturally handle the specific matters by himself.

After all, he is a businessman, so he still has some business acumen.

What Liu Yi has to do is to grasp the macroscopic view.

For example, the soap industry chain.

He can support it into a handicraft industry.

The female workers of Ngai Hing City were recruited to embroider soap bags with cloth to improve the quality of the soap, and finally sold to dignitaries to give the female workers corresponding remuneration.

Not only solve the employment problem, but also improve their living standards.

Correspondingly, carpenters can also make wooden boxes, so that carpenters can also earn some money.

It's just that the cost becomes higher in this way, and the objects they sell are dignitaries, nobles, gentry and gentry, and ordinary people can't afford it at all.

but it does not matter.

Small square soaps with no added fragrance are economical and worth buying.

Think of it as only making money from the rich, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor in disguise.

……

Not hard to imagine.

As long as Liu Yi can think from the perspective of the whole city, he can definitely formulate the formation and policies that are most conducive to the development of Yixing City.

If the economy can develop rapidly, people's lives will be better. The common people will not only have enough food and clothing, but also have extra money on hand.

This kind of life is naturally more and more hopeful.

The common people will support him spontaneously, and the hearts of the people will definitely turn to him.

After all, who really treats oneself well!
Who let them live a good life!
Every common people has a steelyard in their hearts, and they know everything in their hearts.

At that time, even if Liu Yi does nothing, the rebel forces in the Taihang Mountains and other places will rush to join him.

Born in troubled times, isn't Ngai Hing City what they dream of, a piece of paradise and an ideal home?

What's more, Liu Yi has now taken over his identity as a traitor, and the strength of his troops is obvious to all.

Whether it is to capture Huangfusong alive.

Or send troops to crusade Beigong Boyu.

There are almost consecutive victories and few defeats.

As long as you can join Ngai Hing City, your safety will be more secure!

In Ngai Hing City, you can not only eat and clothe yourself warmly, but also earn a good income. If you don’t go to this kind of place, where else do you want to go?
Liu Yi patiently guided the workers to finish, and then wrote the most important ingredients into a prescription and handed it to Zhang Ling.

And repeatedly told him to do a good job of keeping it secret and not to leak it out.

It is true that Liu Yi wants to benefit the people, but he has to wait for him to make a huge sum of money first.

He doesn't need to earn money from the common people, but those rich and oily families don't want to keep it for the New Year if they don't kill it hard.

Zhang Ling naturally understood the importance of this prescription, and while thanking Liu Yi for his trust, he hurriedly patted his chest and assured:

"My lord, don't worry!
Ling will definitely do a good job of keeping it secret, and after Ling memorizes the secret recipe, he will burn it. "

At the same time, he was a little uneasy and said:
"My lord, when our soap comes out, it will definitely affect the interests of many people, and it will become the public enemy of those families who master the secret recipe of soap!"

Become an enemy of the family?

Liu Yi smiled lightly and said indifferently:
"So what?
Don't you forget that a few months ago, we were the public enemies of the entire imperial court..."
