From Chief to Ball

Chen Jian snapped his fingers and said, "That's why you came at a good time, brother. I'll solve the acid-base problem. Come, let me show you something good."

Several people also became curious, and followed Chen Jian to the warehouse, where there were piles of strange pickle jar-shaped things.

Li Yun didn't know what was in it, so she joked, "When did Junior Brother become a pickle business?"

"I'm afraid no one would dare to eat these pickles. These are green vitriol oil."

"Green alum oil?!"

Everyone screamed in unison. Looking at dozens of pickle jars, they couldn't believe that there were so many in Chen Jian's small workshop.

No matter how primitive or backward the lead chamber method or cylinder tower method is, the output is always measured in tons, which completely subverts the imagination of these people.

Knowing that it was not a pickle, Li Yun swallowed, her throat moved up and down, her heart was beating violently.

For him, seeing so much money may not be so exciting.But seeing so much green vitriol oil, I can’t help being excited. The mass production of this thing is a problem. It is used in many places, but the output is too low. I recalled that even if I add it up from small to large, I have never seen such a product. What a jar.

"This... How much is this?"

"A lot, anyway, there are several hundred catties. I not only produce glass, but also produce these things. Didn't I tell you before that I can't go to visit Mr. when I stay in Mincheng because I have to do something? Now these things are considered With a beginning, this thing is very useful for our subject. This time, the brother can take back a few vats, and some glassware and other things, all of which can be brought back..."

Li Yun nodded quickly and said, "Okay! Okay! Sir, I'm sure you'll be happy. If this thing weighs a few hundred kilograms, it can really do a lot of things."

After saying this, Li Yun suddenly came to his senses and asked, "Junior Brother, you mean to let me go back? Aren't you going to the capital first?"

Chapter 69 Vulgar

Chen Jian said with some embarrassment: "Brother, my workshop has gone through some things here, and it has not been finished yet. If you don't come, I will go to Mincheng. You know a lot of things. If you don't have money, you can't do it at all. No, if I don't have this workshop, how can I easily take out hundreds of catties of acid and alkali to verify something? It's all a waste of money."

Li Yun sighed, and said helplessly: "I really don't know what to say. Let's put it this way, even if your conjecture is questioned, but things like making phosphorus, revealing the composition of bones, and the formation of will-o'-the-wisps But it won’t be questioned. Mr. means, now you go to the capital to leave your name on the shrine of the wise. This is something that many people have been looking forward to for a lifetime. It will eat you up, so why don’t you go? Do you know how many people want to keep their names but can’t?”

Chen Jian said with a bitter face: "Of course I am willing. Who wouldn't want to leave a name in history to tell the truth? The main thing is that there are some refutations. I have to find a way to prove that I am right, so I still need a lot of equipment to prepare .When I arrive in the capital, it is really difficult to prepare some equipment. How about this, I will go north immediately in the spring of next year. I think I have almost prepared everything that should be prepared by then. Brother also doesn’t want to see me being besieged in the capital, but there are mouths Is it hard to argue?"

"What weird things are you going to prepare?"

"I can't tell at the moment."

Li Yun smiled helplessly, and said again: "Brother, there is one more thing. You speculated that the experiment that can produce sodium by electrolysis, Mr. took us to complete, and the juniors and sisters caused a sensation. The master did not ask for his name, but the junior The younger sisters are looking forward to this matter. After all, it is the method you proposed, and you will always leave your name on the Shrine of the Wise Man with you. If you don’t go now, everyone is actually a little impatient. Young people, it is inevitable that they will look at these things heavier."

Chen Jian said with a shy smile, "Then wait a little longer. Aren't we still young? Hey, I forgot if you didn't mention this, brother, there is one more thing."

"what's up?"

"Didn't the letter to my husband say the substances needed for plant growth last time? I accidentally discovered something. This time, you can ask your husband to help you do an experiment when you go back. If it succeeds, I'm afraid it will really cause problems in the agricultural department." It’s a sensation, I will definitely come to pay a visit to Mr. This is a big event, if it is really like this, maybe one day it will be able to produce a thousand catties of grain per mu.”

The people who came with Li Yun were dumbfounded by this light and fluffy words, but Li Yun didn't think it was strange, and said with a smile: "Junior brother, did you guess? Or have you already explored or even finished the experiment? You are a philistine." , holding a meeting gift as a brother?"

Chen Jian said with a smile: "It's true to say that you are a philistine, but this experiment will take several months, and no one will believe you if I did it here. It happens that there is an agricultural department in the academy, so you can invite them to watch it together. The main reason is that I don’t have time, and I’m busy learning arithmetic and geometry. This life is too short. Besides, let me talk about this matter, but it has attracted relatively little attention, so I’d better leave it to my husband and brothers and sisters. Let people know that knowledge has the power to change the world."

"You still haven't forgotten the rumors in the capital that knowledge is useless?"

"It's a grudge, so I have to ask my husband to help me slap their mouths and stop their mouths."

"Go ahead."

"That's what happened. I had a few grasses in my workshop, and one day I accidentally broke a pot, and the grass..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Yun waved her hand and said, "Okay...don't need to talk about stories and coincidences. I'll just make it up for you when I go back. Just tell me how to do it."

Li Yunxin said that if you told me a story half a year ago, I might have believed it, but now I can't believe it.It's like the sodium produced during the Chinese New Year. If you haven't prepared it in advance, how can you try it according to your "guess"?

"Oh, after you go back, ask Mr. and those people in the agricultural department to do an experiment together. Use the washed sand as the soil, keep the water, soil and seeds the same, and use three things for comparison. One is the one I made. The powder that is steamed after adding acid to this kind of smelly water, one is the potassium salt that my husband already knows, and the other is the product of co-heating with concentrated sulfuric acid and bone ash. Compare and see if these three determine whether the plant can It grows luxuriantly. In addition, we can also set up some experimental fields to see if adding these three chemical fertilizers can achieve the result of a thousand catties per mu."

Li Yun nodded solemnly and said: "This is indeed very important. Even if there is no way to produce it now, at least you know the direction and prepare for the future. Another thing, if it is really done, it can also support you. Everything is made of particles. Speculation. A mu yields a thousand catties... Maybe we won’t see it in this lifetime, but if there is such a day, maybe the world will be stable and there will be no hunger.”

"This is also my long-cherished wish. As for who is the first to complete the experiment on this thing, it is secondary."

"I really can't see through you."

"Mister is old, and I, the youngest disciple, always want to give him a gift. Brothers and sisters helped me make a name in the capital, and I have to give something back."

Li Yun patted Chen Jian's shoulder wordlessly, not knowing what to say.

The few people who followed Li Yun who were not familiar with Chen Jian also respected Chen Jian, but this awe soon became awkward.

After discussing in Nan'an for two days, Chen Jian systematically explained various conjectures about the theory of particles in line with the times, answered many questions, and also explained the process of making acid and alkali with the theory of recombination of particles, but did not say the specific process .

This surprised several people who came with Li Yun, and asked Chen Jian many questions. The atmosphere of the discussion was harmonious and enthusiastic.

During this period, admiration was still the mainstream emotion, until Chen Jian, Li Yun and others went to Mincheng.After arriving in Mincheng, the few people who were with Li Yun were dumbfounded by Chen Jian's style.

When Chen Jian arrived in Mincheng, he spent money to hire people overnight, bought red paper, wrote happy announcements with a brush, and posted them all over Mincheng.

"Happy news: Mr. Chen Jian from our county was accepted as a disciple by Mr. Xue Gongmu, and because of... he is qualified to leave his name on the Shrine of the Sages. For this reason, a banquet is held on the ruins of the former charity business company to entertain his fathers and fellow villagers. Join us."

Overnight, the extremely vulgar village committee-level happy news posters were all over Mincheng. When the happy news was posted early in the morning, it also drove the development of Mincheng's firecracker industry, and set off firecrackers all morning. , making it known all over the city.

The meeting was set for ten days later, which made Li Yun and those few people quite embarrassed. They really didn't know how to evaluate their junior brother...he could do anything.

People in Mincheng were sobered up by the commotion early in the morning. A group of people surrounded the red paper and looked at the words on it. They knew the reputation of the Academy and the Shrine of the Sages, and for many people these were a little mysterious. There are countless voices of praise in time, and they are very envious.

There may not be many people who actually went to eat, but with such a big commotion, it is not easy for anyone who is acquainted with it to go. Those who have been helped by the charity business company even helped clean up the ruins at night.

As for the matter between the trading company and the glass guild, it has nothing to do with Chen Jian in name, and one cannot blame a person in Nan'an for being responsible for these matters, but Hu Lin is responsible for these matters.

Chen Jian acted as if he didn't care about this matter at all, especially after the happy news was posted, it was more like a declaration. I didn't take those people from the Glass Guild into account at all. You guys are willing to make trouble with Hu Lin, right? , I am not in the mood to play with you.

Whether it's public opinion or the law, the trading company has the upper hand. Tian Wenliang was heartbroken, so Hu Lin generously agreed to delay, and took the opportunity to give money to the injured employees, and even gave a speech As long as these employees are not disabled, they will not be unemployed.

Chen Jian also discussed with Hu Lin, and he didn't care about the other party's compensation at all. After all, it was just to make the other party disintegrate and disintegrate.According to the law, the amount of money compensated can only be regarded as better than nothing, and it will not affect the interests of these people at all.

With Tian Wenliang's illness, Chen Jian took the opportunity to spread a lot of rumors, spending money to spread them in the streets and alleys overnight, vividly depicting how dirty Tian Wenliang's family history was, making Tian Wenliang wish he could come out with a walking stick and tell everyone about himself Really sick.

Chen Jian is really not afraid. In terms of family background, his father is a military officer; in terms of technology, these workshops are definitely not as good as him.

When it comes to fighting, Chen Jian knows a truth. The underworld will definitely not be able to beat the stormtroopers, and the stormtroopers will basically not be able to beat the pickets. Rods are a proven weapon in countless street brawls.

In terms of dishonorable methods, Chen Jian has seen many of them.Tian Wenliang still needs to learn to spread rumors and slander, malicious slander, right to speak and curse, incite public opinion, and counterattack hypocritically, because the history of the ethnic group is too short after all.

After a few days of commotion with gongs and drums, Chen Jian asked someone to send a letter to the owners of the various glass workshops, meaning that he wanted to entertain everyone to discuss the matter of the Mincheng Glass Guild, and declared that he was free to come or not. .

The owner of the workshop who received the letter couldn't help being a little embarrassed. If he went, he would be considered to have completely jumped off Tian Wenliang's boat, and he felt a little bit worse.

But if you don't go, you are worried that someone will go. If you really set up a new glass guild, and Chen Jian will crowd out you, then you really don't have to do this trade.

Up to now, the original glass guild has fallen apart, and there are many internal conflicts. The injustice that was suppressed and resolved before has now become the cause of internal tearing.

Chen Jian's posture was more like a victor accepting surrender, and it was obvious that if he didn't go to the banquet, he was going to do it alone.
