Great Qin Shi Empress

==·Daily·==

Lin Qian looked at Yingzheng: "In fact, there are still quite a few well-preserved imperial tombs. For example, the tombs of the Ming Dynasty have not suffered much damage under the protection and repair of the Qing Dynasty, but it is not that they have encountered tomb robbers. "

"However," she frowned, "the officials didn't move these Ming Dynasty tombs anymore. In fact, when someone excavated a certain emperor's tomb in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the technical level was not enough and they failed to do a good job of protection, resulting in the destruction of most of the cultural relics inside. The mausoleum was severely damaged, and the emperor's body was also burned by some people."

Ying Zheng's face was ugly: "The emperor's body was burned?"

Lin Qian quickly appeased: "Don't worry, the emperor's body will be burned because it was in a special era. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for our Chinese nation to disrespect human corpses that much. the behavior of."

[Exhibiting the emperor's body as an antique relic is the most likely thing to happen. 】

Ying Zheng: "..."

He really wanted to ask, is this kind of thing better than burning the body?

Lin Qian saw that Yingzheng's face was ugly, and quickly looked away: "In fact, there is another Qianling Mausoleum similar to Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. It is the only joint burial tomb for the emperor and his wife. The location is not special, and everyone knows it. Where, but because it almost hollowed out a mountain, and the protection measures are relatively good, the tomb robbers failed, and the official has no idea of ​​trying to dig it for the time being."

"There are still two tombs that have not been found so far," Lin Qian thought for a while, and said, "One is Genghis Khan, who directly conquered Europe. Because of their special funeral customs, the emperor's mausoleum cannot afford tombs, and they will be buried in the tomb. Later, he led ten thousand horses to trample back and forth on the mausoleum, and he would not leave until the terrain was no different from the surrounding ones. After the grass grew in the next year, it was difficult to distinguish the location of the tomb, so it has never been found.”

"The other one is the hero I mentioned to you before who created an army of tomb robbers. He may have robbed too many tombs himself, so he is also worried that future generations will follow suit, so he is building a tomb for himself. At that time, more than 20 fake tombs were built, making it difficult to tell the real from the fake."

"Others are... almost stolen."

Even in the Qing Dynasty, many emperors' tombs were stolen, and the cultural relics inside were seriously damaged and lost.

Ying Zheng's expression could no longer be described as ugly.

Lin Qian was a little helpless: "The emperor had too many treasures during his lifetime, and after his death, he also wanted to bring the wealth accumulated during his lifetime to the underground and even enjoy it in his next life. Money touches people's hearts, and there is no way around it."

"And no matter how many belongings you buried with you underground, it's useless..."

Ying Zheng turned to look at Lin Qian: "Because you said before, there are no gods and ghosts in this world?"

Lin Qian nodded: "The burial of people in later generations has changed from burial to cremation, and they don't pay much attention to burial objects. It is almost enough to have a cemetery and accompany two or three things you like."

Ying Zheng fell into deep thought, and he spoke after a long time: "I need to think again."

Lin Qian knelt aside and didn't bother him. After all, he had received the thoughts of gods and ghosts since he was a child. It is not so easy to change his mind instantly.

After Lin Qian returned to the side hall, the second host suddenly sent himself a message.

She took a look and found that it was a request to trade bamboo: "It's too late today, and I'll have someone chop some bamboo for you tomorrow. How much do you need?"

The second host said directly: "It doesn't need to be too much, I don't plan to let too many people know the formula for the time being, so the production will definitely not increase."

After a pause, he added, "By the way, please give me some more clear papers."

Lin Qian was a little puzzled: "Don't you have the formula on hand?"

Host No. [-]'s voice was a little excited: "I recently got in touch with an important member of the royal family, and I need to give him some precious gifts to get in touch with each other. He likes gorgeous and unique things very much, and gorgeous things are easy to find. But something unique is so easy to find."

Lin Qian suddenly realized: "Silk is also very unique, do you need it?"

Host No. [-] thought for a moment, and rejected this tempting proposal: "Although silk is gorgeous and unique, it is a bit overkill for this kind of good thing. When I meet a more suitable time in the future, I will look for it. The silk you bought."

There are so many ways to make paper, and the second host can use some local raw materials instead.

But silk is really irreplaceable——

Plants can also be teleported to another world through the plane trader. Animals and insects, which are moving, do not support teleportation transactions even if they are plane traders.

According to the customer service of the plane trader, it is to prevent people from trading population through the plane trader.

So if you want silk, the second host can only buy it from Lin Qian.

The second host doesn't like this kind of unilaterally controlled transaction very much, so although he likes silk very much and is optimistic about the benefits that silk can bring, he doesn't intend to let go of the transaction.

Occasionally, it is enough to dedicate it as a treasure to a high-ranking person in exchange for the benefits you want.

Lin Qian didn't care about the second host's thoughts, and directly asked someone to fetch a stack of clear papers and traded them to the second host, and the second host directly sent a bunch of gold coins over——

Some simple papers have been produced by the second host, but Xuan paper and Chengxin paper with complex processes still need more time to test the details of the papermaking process, and many tools and equipment needed for papermaking also need to be built from scratch... So for a while, the second host still needs to buy paper from Lin Qian.

And because the No. [-] host has a special liking for rice paper, Lin Qian has already "taken back" nearly half of the gold traded out from the No. [-] host even though the two have not traded paper for a long time.

The rate of return is really high.

Lin Qian settled the accounts after receiving the gold coins, and suddenly remembered something: paper made from plants has been a unique commodity in China for a long time, and she also traded many papermaking methods with the second host, and these Things are something that Plane Trader likes very much, and the official points have always been very generous.

So, how many plane trader points has she accumulated?

Lin Qian's plane trader has been upgraded once, and now it has become E-level. It takes [-] points to upgrade from F to E-level. It is even more exaggerated to upgrade from E-level to D-level, which requires a full [-] points. .

If it wasn't for the fact that when she traded with Hua before, she took out "special products" such as writing, Lin Qian didn't know how many years it would have taken her to accumulate [-] points, let alone [-] points?Lin Qian never thought that it would be possible for her to upgrade to D-rank in this life.

However, there is always an emergency in everything, isn't it?Lin Qian thought that she would never be able to upgrade to E-level in this life.

She directly clicked on the main panel of the plane trader, and then looked at the location of the points.

【Points: 4584】

Lin Qian was a little surprised, how could there be so many?

After she clicked on the points details page, she discovered that more than half of these points were obtained by papermaking methods.

Lin Qian clicked on the customer service contact information: "Why do papermaking methods get so many points?"

Ordinary straw paper gave hundreds of points, but the points of Xuan paper and Chengxin paper directly exceeded a thousand.

The tone of the customer service was many times gentler than at the beginning: "Because the world where the plane trader is located has never seen the method of making paper from plants since ancient times."

Lin Qian was puzzled: "Then what did you use to record the text?"

The customer service patiently explained: "Bamboo slips, wooden tablets, stone flakes, parchment and other 'paper' made of animal skin, later developed technology, and the 'paper' made of animal skin soon withdrew from the stage of history."

After all, although the quality of parchment is good, the production method is too difficult and the raw materials are too scarce.

Lin Qian paused, and couldn't help asking the customer service: "I still have hundreds of ways to make paper, can I sell it to you directly? It's enough for you to give me the corresponding points."

The tone of the customer service was a bit disappointed: "No, our plane trader only provides a trading platform, and we cannot directly trade with the holders of the plane trader, otherwise it will easily develop into us using the host of the plane trader as a tool to plunder In the case of other world resources, it is illegal."

Lin Qian was a little disappointed: "Isn't it just the paper-making method?"

The customer service affirmed her answer.

Lin Qian sighed. She thought she had found a shortcut, but she didn't expect that the shortcut she thought had been blocked long ago.

But the customer service also makes sense. If the hosts of the plane trader can directly trade with the official trader, why do you bother to trade with other hosts?Aren't the good things that the Plane Trader can officially produce more than any other plane?And if the Plane Trader official is a bit black-hearted, it is really easy to plunder other world's materials with all the Plane Trader hosts as anchors.

But is the Plane Trader official black-hearted...

When the benefits are large enough, even if the official can still guarantee their own "conscience", can each of the customer service staff responsible for connecting with the host guarantee their own conscience?

After Lin Qian figured it out, she said goodbye to the customer service.

Host No. [-]: "What did you do just now? Why didn't you speak suddenly?"

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Look at my points."

Host No. [-] let out an "oh", and didn't want to inquire about her privacy, but directly changed the subject: "Apart from silk and paper, do you have any other unique things over there? It's best to eat."

As for food, Lin Qian almost subconsciously thought of rice.

Rice is a native plant in China, and even in modern times, because the climate is not suitable for the growth of rice in the West, not many people grow it.

But the taste of rice does not seem to meet the eating habits of Westerners?

Lin Qian quickly thought of another good thing——

tea.

==·dictionary·==

Tea has appeared in people's lives since very early, but at the beginning, tea was only used as a sacrifice in various sacrificial occasions. It was not until the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period that tea broke away from the status of sacrifice. appear in people's diet.

But the tea at this time is not a drink, but...vegetables.

Yes, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, including the Qin Dynasty, tea was used as a vegetable. It was not until the Western Han Dynasty that tea was discovered for its medicinal value, and it was not until the late Western Han Dynasty that tea officially appeared as a drink.

Lin Qian had eaten the dishes made of tea leaves, which were a little bit bitter, but because the picked tea leaves were very tender, the taste was not bad.

She doesn't have the habit of drinking tea, so even if she saw tea leaves appearing in front of her, she didn't bother—

Lin Qian usually drinks all kinds of scented tea, herbal tea and fruit tea more often. The serious tea is too bitter for her who has been sick and takes medicine all the year round. Wouldn't even touch it.

But if it can be traded, it is really possible to make tea.

But before that, you need to ask the second host: "Is there tea in your world?"

"What is tea?" The second host didn't understand, "Can you take a picture for me? Is it a vegetable?"

Lin Qian quickly explained: "It is the leaf bud of a kind of plant. After processing, it can be used to soak in water. It tastes slightly bitter, but it will return to sweetness after drinking."

The second host directly denied: "No, I have never heard of the drink you mentioned."

Lin Qian said: "Then I will give it to you tomorrow together with the bamboo."

The second host has no comment.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Qian first asked Lin Mo to find someone to buy bamboo, and then went to the kitchen to find the chef to help him fry some tea leaves according to the method he remembered.

The taste is not as refreshing as the tea leaves in her memory, but maybe the raw materials are good enough (not many people eat tea these days, and the picking places are not frequent), and the taste is not bad.

After Lin Qian tasted it, he gave the bamboo and tea leaves that Lin Mo had bought to the second host.

She also sent some unfried young tea buds to the second host by the way: "Those green fresh tea leaves have not been processed. You can use them to cook cold salad or fry them directly."

The second host didn't quite understand: "What do you mean by cold salad and stir-fry?"

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment before realizing it, and quickly told the second host how to make cold salad and stir-fry.

Host No. [-] didn't seem to be touched after hearing it, he just said it was clear, and sent enough gold coins to Lin Qian directly.

Several days later, host number two lost audio again.

Lin Qian didn't mind. After all, she still had her own work to do, and it was impossible for her to open the plane trader all the time.

The second host said nothing about the tea, but she didn't want to. She saw the tea at Ying Zheng's place in a few days.

It was still fried.

She was a little surprised and couldn't help but look a few more times.

A smile flashed in Yingzheng's eyes: "Before you mentioned to the widow that you ordered someone to fry the tea and then traded it with others. The widow was curious, so I asked the kitchen to fry another portion. It tastes really special after brewing boiling water. Flavor."

Lin Qian suddenly realized: "This kind of frying method is actually quite rough. Although it already has some tea flavor, it is more because the raw materials are good enough. Really good tea must taste bitter and sweet. If your majesty likes it, You might as well ask the kitchen to study a better frying method, and then maybe more people will be able to enjoy it."

Ying Zheng looked at her: "Aren't you going to drink?"

Lin Qian shook her head: "I don't like bitter food very much."

Ying Zheng took a sip from his teacup and shook his head regretfully: "That's a pity."

Lin Qian laughed: "It's a pity, I can make some milk tea when the beet and sugarcane grow enough to squeeze out sugar."

milk tea?

Foods that require sugar to be made should be sweet?

Ying Zheng couldn't help feeling a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

……

The atmosphere between the two is harmonious, and ordinary people are not able to intervene in the content of the chat.

Sitting at the bottom, Li Si and Wang Wan looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Lin Qian was the first to notice the reaction of the two, and quickly corrected her attitude, waiting earnestly for Ying Zheng, Li Si, and Wang Wan to explain the situation.

Lin Qian was called by Ying Zheng.

What the servant and Lin Qian said was that Li Si and Wang Wan entered the palace today to report the progress of the dictionary compilation. They mentioned that although the compilation process of the dictionary had already been completed more than half, at this moment, Cheng Miao led a group of people to write the dictionary on the basis of the official script. , developed a regular script that is easier to write and engrave than the official script.

Li Si and Wang Wan who are in charge of the dictionary——

Yes, Wang Wan.

After Wang Wan resigned, she was depressed for a while, and even thought about whether to return to her hometown for the elderly.

But there are still other jobs to be taken over. The people in charge of compiling dictionaries are basically the servants and officials of Li Si and Wang Wan. Can't calm down.

Seeing this, Li Si felt that it was not good, so he took the initiative to ask Yingzheng for instructions, and hoped that Wang Wan could be invited back to be responsible for compiling the dictionary, so that he could free up time to do more things as the prime minister, and Wang Wan's existence could be assured. Peace of mind for others.

Although Ying Zheng himself was somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Wan's proposed enfeoffment system, it was not against him himself.

What's more, Wang Wan did do a lot for Qin, so she nodded and agreed to Li Si's request, and personally sent a sincere letter to Wang Wan, hoping to invite him to come out to compile a dictionary.

This decree is also a timely rain for Wang Wan: because he was dismissed because he disagreed with Ying Zheng's political views, the situation of Wang Wan and the Wang family behind him in Xianyang is not very good.If Li Si and Feng Quji hadn't been there to take care of them from time to time, there might be many people who like to add insult to injury to attack the Wang family.

Yingzheng's imperial decree at least let people know that he has no objection to Wang Wan himself, and it can save him and the Wang family a lot of trouble.

At least no one will bully the Wang family under the banner of Ying Zheng.

Wang Wan and Li Si made people have a tacit understanding in this regard. After the two cooperated again, Wang Wan worked harder, so the process of compiling the dictionary was even more rapid.

But who would have thought that a Cheng Miao would appear on the way?

This time, the two of them went to the palace to ask Ying Zheng whether the dictionary should be carved in official script or regular script.

Of course, they also asked Ying Zheng to see if there was any problem with the content of the dictionary, and if there was a problem, they could correct it in time.

This is also the reason why Lin Qian was called into the palace.

Everyone present, except for Lin Qian, had never seen a dictionary. Whether there was any error in the content of the dictionary, she, the only person who had seen a dictionary, would naturally need to check.

Ying Zheng glanced at the characters written in official script and regular script, and without hesitation, he chose regular script directly: "Horizontal, horizontal and vertical are simple and clear, and the strokes are clear and easy to write. That's it."

Li Si and Wang Wan were not surprised, and presented the first draft of the dictionary, which had already compiled more than half of it.

Ying Zheng kept half of it for himself and gave the other half to Lin Qian.

Lin Qian took the first draft and began to read it. Because the content of the book has not yet been compiled, it does not involve the index and other parts. She only needs to read the notes and other content behind each text.

She thought that her understanding of characters was not as good as that of Li Si and Wang Wan, so she didn't intend to read more from the beginning.

What Lin Qian paid attention to was the extended content of each word.

After flipping through it for a while, after understanding the content, she put the first draft back to its original state and put it aside.

Ying Zheng looked at it more carefully, but it didn't take long for him to put it aside.

He looked at Lin Qian: "Tell me what you think?"

After hesitating, Lin Qian said, "Prime Minister and Wang Zhuan are worthy of being well-read poets and books. In addition to the meaning of each word, the origin and development of each word, and even related allusions are clearly written. Easy to understand."

Li Si straightened his back: "Did Gu Fenghou find anything wrong? If so, please let me know."

Lin Qian nodded and said hesitantly: "But for beginners, there are too many contents. The more contents, the more expensive the books are, and more people will not be able to afford them. Those beginners basically Ordinary people, even if they have become a little richer these years, they are unlikely to spend too much money to buy an overly expensive book."

She actually mentioned at the beginning not to add too much content to the dictionary, but she didn't give any reason before, so Wang Wan and Li Sixu didn't take it to heart, and still extended a lot of content to each word.

This is not like a reference book, but more like a popular science book.

Not bad, but great.

On a piece of A6 paper, two pages can only record the content of three characters. If all subsequent compilations are made according to this specification, it is completely conceivable how thick and expensive the book will be after it is actually compiled.

Tens of thousands of words, no matter how you need [-] to [-] sheets of paper, right?

Even if the printing cost is not counted, just the cost of these papers...the court can't sell dictionaries at a loss, can it?Isn't that the more you sell, the more you lose?This is not the era in which Lin Qian lived in his previous life. The country was willing to spend money to send all children to school to cultivate talents.

Li Si and Wang Wan looked at each other, and then took the initiative to say: "I just think that adding more content to the dictionary will allow the common people to learn more."

Lin Qian retorted: "But if you can't even afford it, what's the use of having so much content in the book?"

I know it's good, but I can't afford it!

It's like modern people don't know that villas are good and sports cars are good?But why don't they sell it?Do you know how good they are?

Li Si turned to look at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng thought for a while and asked, "What books sell the most in the book store?"

Li Si was stunned for a moment, his heart hanging slightly: "Qin Lu is the one who sells the most."

"and then?"

"Then there are some books that can be made into separate volumes, or books with less content, so the number of volumes is relatively small."

Almost all the books in the book shop cost ten yuan a piece, but the content and number of words of the books cannot be the same for each book, so some books with too many words will be divided into upper and lower, upper, middle and lower, or even one or two. Several volumes such as three and four were printed and distributed.

After the sub-volume, it is also ten coins per volume.

Except that Qin Lu was not affected by the price, the sales volume of other books would increase or decrease due to the price.

==·Chemistry·==

Li Si truthfully told Ying Zheng the situation.

After hearing this, Ying Zheng hardly hesitated, so he said directly: "Make two sets of dictionaries, and one set will continue to be compiled according to your current content. You don't need to have too many scruples. The paper and ink used for printing in the future will also be different. If you use it well, you don’t need to worry about the price, and you can sell as much as you want. The other set, according to what Gu Fenghou said, cut out too many extensions, and remember to use worse materials for pen and ink when printing in the future. So that more people can buy it.”

Li Si and Lin Qian looked at each other and nodded without any opinion.

After talking about the contents of the dictionary, Li Si looked at Ying Zheng again: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with the tomb design drawings that I submitted earlier?"

Yingzheng paused while serving the tea, frowning tightly: "For now..."

He glanced at Lin Qian, "I won't build the mausoleum for now."

Li Si was at a loss: "Don't build the mausoleum?"

Ying Zheng emphasized: "It will not be repaired for the time being."

Wait for him to think about whether there is any perfect solution, after all, as long as he thinks that someone will come and go freely in his mausoleum in the future...

Instant blood rise!

Lin Qian took a careful look at Ying Zheng, not daring to speak at such a time.

but……

How can there be a real panacea in this world?Unless, like Genghis Khan, even his descendants don't know where his tomb is buried, otherwise...

Because there were other business matters, Lin Qian left Xianyang Palace with Li Si and Wang Wan after talking about the matter.

When not working, Li Si and Wang Wan are no different from ordinary people.

Li Si asked directly: "Marquis Gu Feng, I wonder what kind of tea His Majesty is drinking? Why doesn't it smell like the tea at home?"

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Those tea leaves are roasted in a special way, and what you drink is directly brewed tea. The brewed tea leaves will be thrown away directly, which is not the same as the tea leaves that are boiled and mixed with salt. Same."

Seeing that Li Si and Wang Wan were interested, she simply told the method of roasting the tea: "The two of you go home and let the cook try it. As long as the quality of the tea is good, the tea brewed is still drinkable, but the quality of the tea is not good enough. If it is good, the brewed tea may not be very tasty. The two of you can ask the cook at home to improve the method of frying tea."

After all, really good recipes for stir-frying tea are regarded as unique secret recipes, so how could they spread them casually?

The two kept it in their hearts, and secretly decided to ask the cook to fry a portion to taste after returning home.

……

It seemed that Yingzheng really liked the taste of tea. Afterwards, whenever he discussed matters with others, he would ask someone to make a pot of tea and put it next to him. Therefore, it didn't take long for the Chinese and military ministers to know the existence of tea.

After learning that Li Si and Wang Wan had fried tea recipes, they all came to ask for advice.

At first, everyone just wanted to drink it because His Majesty liked it, but after drinking the tea, they found that the tea could actually refresh the mind, and they fell in love with it immediately.

After drinking it for a period of time, I found that the tea has more functions such as reducing phlegm, digesting food, and diuresis. The officials who were busy sitting on the couch almost all day, and the amount of exercise made it difficult to go to the toilet were even more disgusted. I couldn't put it down, and almost every day I would bring some tea to the government office where I worked to drink it.

So soon, tea became popular among noble officials throughout Xianyang City, and soon spread to businessmen, common people and other groups.

Tea, which was originally inconspicuous, naturally became a new business.

……

But Lin Qian, who is not interested in tea, naturally didn't know about these.

What's more, she is still in the coal mine now, and she can't detect the fashion trends in the city——

A few days ago, Juzi of the Mo family suddenly came to Lin Qian and said that the mine water pump they made had some minor problems and he needed to let her go and have a look.

It was only after Lin Qian went there that he realized that the problem with the water pump was the cylinder.

In the past, they used clay to seal the gaps in the cylinders. After using it for a period of time, they found that the clay had dried out after repeated heating and cooling. The sealing performance was greatly reduced, and the efficiency of the water lifter was also affected.

Lin Qian almost subconsciously thought of using rubber to seal it, but now there are no rubber trees in other places except the Amazon forest in America. Even if she knows the material, she can't help it. She can't fly to the other side of the ocean, right?

Fortunately, when Mohist Juzi was making movable type printing, he experimented with a lot of materials for the adhesive of movable type.

After Lin Qian knew the ins and outs of the matter, he said directly: "I know that the eucommia tree can brew a kind of colloid, which can replace the clay to seal the gap in the cylinder."

Lin Qian's eyes lit up immediately: "Then use it directly!"

The leaves, bark, peel, and seeds of the eucommia tree can be boiled to produce eucommia gum, which itself has the characteristics of a part of rubber.

In some fields, Eucommia gum can indeed replace the role of rubber.

Juzi of the Mo family was helpless: "If there are no other questions, why should I invite Gu Fenghou over? It is true that although the Eucommia tree can extract the colloid, it will become brittle after being exposed to the air after extraction. Very perishable."

"I came to Gu Fenghou to ask, is there any way you can prevent the eucommia gum from becoming brittle, or slow down the process of becoming brittle."

Lin Qian was at a loss. This seemed to involve her blind spot in knowledge.

After she went back, she thought hard for several days, and finally found a knowledge point from the corner of her memory——

At that time, the country thought about fully promoting the cultivation of eucommia gum, intending to replace rubber with eucommia gum in some areas to alleviate the shortage of rubber energy.At that time, many people posted about this matter, and some people took the opportunity to popularize the difference between Eucommia gum and rubber. Among them, some people mentioned the problem that Eucommia gum is easy to become brittle.

Lin Qian tried hard to think back for a long time before he remembered something that relieved the brittleness of Eucommia gum.

Antiaging agent.

An anti-aging agent that uses amine as the main raw material and can delay the aging of eucommia gum and even rubber from becoming brittle.

Of course, Lin Qian didn't know the formula of the anti-aging agent, but since the anti-aging agent uses amine as the main raw material, then the amine itself should have the effect of delaying the aging and brittleness of Eucommia gum and rubber?

Lin Qian couldn't wait to tell the Mo family Juzi about it.

But here comes the problem again——

Lin Qian vaguely remembered how to make amine, but the Mohist Juzi didn't know anything about it....

Juzi finds it inconceivable and completely incomprehensible that one or two things can be transformed into another or two completely different things through a certain method.

He even couldn't help it: "The process that Marquis Gu Feng said, is it some kind of magic technique like the golden touch?"

Lin Qian was speechless: "I'm just an ordinary person, I don't know magic tricks!"

Juzi laughed loudly: "The method mentioned by Gu Fenghou is somewhat similar to the alchemy technique. I even think that the method you mentioned has a clear process and seems to be comparable to many people who can learn it. Those real warlocks and alchemists are even more amazing."

Lin Qian paused: "Alchemist?"

Juzi nodded with a smile: "Yes, I also had contact with some alchemists back then, but at that time I only felt that they were superstitious. If the spells they said at the beginning were as reliable as Gu Fenghou, I can't say that. They must have gone to learn magic with them."

Lin Qian: "!!!"

Lin Qian asked Juzi of the Mo family to extract some Eucommia gum and use it first, and then he went back to the palace immediately.

After stepping into the palace gate, Lin Qian went straight to the main hall without stopping: "Your Majesty, I remember that you have raised many alchemists who can make alchemy in Xianyang Palace? Could you recommend one or two for me?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows in doubt: "You don't believe in ghosts and gods?"

Lin Qian nodded: "I really don't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, but this does not mean that the alchemists who believe in ghosts and gods are incapable at all. It's like the many 'small spells' they use to deceive are also scientifically proven. category."

Ying Zheng remembered what Lin Qian said before: "Sterling ice?"

Lin Qian nodded: "Yes, yes, this belongs to physics."

After a pause, she added, "If the Mohists continue to develop like this, they will be good seedlings for studying physics."

Ying Zheng didn't understand: "Since the Mohists can study these things, why do you need to find those liars?"

Lin Qian was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "You won't kill all the alchemists raised in Xianyang Palace, will you?"

Ying Zheng said nothing.

Lin Qian: "..."

How should I put it, it's not surprising that this kind of thing happened to Ying Zheng.

but!

Lin Qian was at a loss: "Then if I want to find a few alchemists to help me with my research, where should I go?"

[At this time, Taoism has not yet formed, and there are no Taoist temples. Where do those alchemists usually gather? 】

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian: "Tell me what you want to do with the alchemist first."

Lin Qian blinked, and said hesitantly: "I have something in my hand that needs to be studied by them. This subject is called chemistry. Although it belongs to the category of science, it is not exactly the same as the physics direction that Mohist Juzi is good at."

It's not that the Mohists can't do chemistry at all——

The previous paper-making process involved some chemical knowledge. Didn’t the Mo family Juzi lead others to research the paper-making method?

And before the subdivision of disciplines, most scientists have dabbled in various disciplines.

But if you can find a more professional alchemist, of course the alchemist is better.

Wouldn't it be good to let Juzi of the Mo family concentrate on studying physics?

Lin Qian heard that Mohist Juzi got his inspiration from the water pump, and recently he has spent almost every day in the coal mine researching how to improve the water pump.If it goes well, he might be able to develop a steam engine one step earlier than in the world of the second host?

But if you can't find a suitable manpower, it seems that you can only trouble the Mo family.

Ying Zheng asked again: "Is there anything that must use those alchemists?"

Ever since he discovered that almost all of the alchemists were liars and had no real skills at all, Ying Zheng's perception of this group of alchemists was extremely bad.

Lin Qian then told about Eucommia gum and anti-aging agent.
