In the lobby of the Yamen of Puli County, Ying Ming sits in the middle.

This was originally the residence of Earl Charles, built magnificently, but the layout does not conform to the aesthetics of the Ming people, the ground floor of the three-story building is completely unobstructed as the lobby, the living room and study of Cao Changqing of Zili Zhixian County are upstairs, and the top attic is transformed into a Dan room.

Although Daoist Cao was not a Taoist of the Dragon and Tiger Daojun Temple for a long time, he had occasional gains from the capture of the city this time, and took a lot of ancient books of Yiren, especially the alchemy that was prevalent in Europa at this time, which fascinated the Daoist chief, so he started to do it at the top level.

By the way, in these days, people don't care if these things are called alchemy or practices, they are all called experiments.

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

Now Cao Daochang is in the attic with the ancient method of the Tang Dynasty dry distillation of natural bile alum, that is, copper sulfate, to obtain stone gall essence, that is, sulfuric acid, and the method of dry distillation of natural alum, that is, iron sulfate, in the alchemy of Euroyi to obtain green alum oil, which is also sulfuric acid.

He suspected that different stone galls had the same thing in order to make the same stone gall essence.

Stone gallbladder essence is a very important thing, the ancient books say that it is into ten thousand medicines, medicine is gods, the ancestors have realized that sulfuric acid is easy to react with all things.

These conjectures and new discoveries attracted Cao Daochang to ask the merchants of the Daming Guild to collect more ancient books on alchemy in Europa for him, and of course, he not only asked the merchants to collect information about Europe, but also asked people to return to Asia to return to China by ship to collect this part of the information for him.

It doesn't matter which country or place it is, anyway, Daochang Cao's mind is close to blank knowledge of these things.

But the good thing is that 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, even if you are far away from mountains and seas, it is easy to inherit.

Just as Europe received this knowledge from the Arabs, if you don't believe it, look up, who will the heavens forgive?

The yamen was being renovated, and the merchants hired local craftsmen from Puli County to add a few walls to divide the rooms on the lower floor, which used to be used as a dining room, and at the same time drew drawings and ordered some simple furniture to decorate the hall.

However, the furniture has not been good recently, and there are not many carpenters in the entire Puli County, and now they are all busy making coffins for the fallen soldiers of the Makino Army.

Li Yuxi believed in the craftsmanship of English craftsmen, and only wanted to make a strictly sealed coffin, so he did not hesitate to pay 30% higher than the market price.

No one expected that Li Yuxi's ordering of coffins for the fallen soldiers would crush the hearts of the citizens in the city who were originally restless due to the siege in one fell swoop.

After the battle outside the city, the citizens who had run away with the nobles had nowhere to go, and some of them returned to the city, and many things happened when the houses were occupied and the things in the house were gone, and the county arranged housing for them, but often it was not satisfactory.

Dissatisfied, many people died in the war, many of the fallen soldiers were related to the surviving citizens, and there was already hatred that took root in the hearts of people, but the individuals who did not go through the series could not turn the wind and waves.

Many small groups in the city were consciously or unconsciously connected together, and as a result, Li Yuxi ordered the coffin, and most of the people who planned to rebel died down.

What a joke, my God, each of them has a coffin when he dies!

Humans are very tough animals and are only afraid of comparison.

It was as if the Spanish soldiers in the New World did not think that it was bad to have Spanish or French disease, because at least that would mean that the person was sexually active.

The citizens of Plymouth are the same, they die without coffins.

In the previous period, there was a plague outbreak in the city, the cemetery was buried, the courtyard wall was crushed by corpses, and the corpses of decades and hundreds of years poured into the rich family's house next door to the church along the wall, and crushed the children playing under the wall, and the housewife was crushed, and the master's wife died of the plague in a few days.

What kind of coffin do you want, that's something that only the lord has.

Of course, this is not rigorous, in this materialistic era, coffins are no longer a privilege of the aristocracy, usually the rich who earn more than fifty pounds a year will also prepare coffins when their family members die, but most citizens do not reach this income, the whole of Europe due to the social unrest caused by rising prices, people's wages have not risen for a long time, and most proletarians cannot maintain a decent life.

It's not enough to live a decent life, let alone die a decent death.

There are only two places where wages are still rising in Europe, one in London and the other in Amsterdam, because the best workers are there, because that is the center of the woolen textile and shipbuilding industries in Europe at the moment.

Even in Pooly County, all the citizens knew what was wrong with England as a whole, but no one could solve it - as long as they had money, Englanders could buy everything they wanted, but they lacked food.

This answer may not be so clear in the eyes of individuals, they will attribute the problem to their own lack of money or too expensive food, only a few people know that the fact is that their land does not grow food, and the lord and the rich merchants are busy raising sheep and opening factories, where is there time to grow food.

People who can't solve problems are full of dreams, and in the minds of people who can solve problems, this kind of thing is not a problem.

If there is no place to grow food, you will find outside to buy it, and if it is expensive to sell it outside, you will find new land...... Everything is a spontaneous and personal act of a businessman, and if you find a cheaper place to produce food, and ship it back, won't you make a lot of money? And the more people find cheap grain production areas, won't food prices come down?

Naturally.

Therefore, the English royal family vigorously promoted the colonial cause of Ireland, so there is such a sentence in the "History of the Palace of Alan": In the spring of the tenth year, Haiyi came from afar, committed Tailongwei, and the commander-in-chief Han Jinhuan commanded Ying Ming to attack the thieves in Hekou County, the ship sank and the thieves were exhausted, and the corpses were on the reef.

Therefore, the English merchants worked hard to explore the unknown land in the north of the New World, so the "Makino County Chronicles" also has such a sentence: in the summer of ten years, there was a brace board, and the people were despised on the side of the word, and the merchants would be hurricanes across the sea, and the ship was capsized and people died, and the county provided them with food and clothing to find a business.

Therefore, the question remains unresolved.

Although the citizens are uncomfortable looking at these strangers who occupy the city, each of their fallen soldiers can afford to use a coffin, which is obviously very rich!

Therefore, everyone's desire to rob and imprison Earl Charles has become a new lord, oh no, now it is called Zhixian and General, and they want to petition Zhixian and General to see if they can find a way to reduce the price of food.

This question is very interesting to Ying Ming, according to his idea - what sheep to raise, go back to farming, isn't it enough? What, you say there is no land? It's too easy to do without land, so it's divided.

However, at this moment, when he recruited the general manager of the Makino middle camp and had the idea of entrusting him with a heavy responsibility, he encountered a problem.

The general name of the middle battalion is Song Yang, and before Ying Ming could think about how to praise him, he had already said that the idea of shouting that the earl was dead in enemy words on the battlefield was not his, it was the idea of his adopted son, and planned to introduce this godson to Ying Ming.

His righteous son and Ying Ming are half of the countrymen, from Suning, Beizhili.

It's called Wei Jinzhong.
