Chapter 1180

"Your Majesty, there are many chemicals in this chemical laboratory that are very corrosive and toxic, so these things are necessary to avoid accidents." Wang Yang took off his eyes and gestured to Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, and explained.

"These are flat glasses, which are mainly used to prevent those toxic and corrosive substances from splashing out and hurting the eyes."

Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, with a look of novelty, looked at the transparent bottles and jars here, and asked questions, although Wang Yang was very annoyed that the Son of Heaven who was so idle that he came here to make trouble and affect his experiment.

But they could only reluctantly take on their duties, patiently explaining to the Son of Heaven the purpose of these things, and the experiments they were about to carry out now.

"Green alum oil, isn't that thing used by those Taoist monks for alchemy? Wang Wushan, are you going to go to alchemy and cultivate immortals? After listening to Wang Yang's explanation, the Son of Heaven was very puzzled.

"Your Majesty, the alum oil refined by Sir is intended to be used in the rust prevention and rust removal of metal parts. It's not for alchemy...... "Fortunately, Zhao Ji, the eldest disciple, took on his responsibilities very dutifully and helped Wang Yang.

"Yes, this alum oil can not only remove rust, but also prevent metal from being corroded, I wonder if your majesty noticed the iron rods outside the test room when you came in?" ......" Wang Yang smiled, raised his hand and pointed to the open space outside the door of the chemical laboratory, a few stick-like objects standing upright on the ground.

"Of the five iron rods, one has not been pickled and passivated, and the other one is treated with animal fat to prevent rust, while the other three rods are pickled and passivated with different concentrations of alum oil......"

Wang Yang beckoned to Wu Qilang, who was standing at the door, and this guy walked over quickly, pulled out the four iron rods from the soil one by one, and then walked over quickly and handed them over.

Only then did Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, notice that one of the four iron rods was rusty on it, and at first glance it should have been caused by a long period of sun, wind and rain.

The other one also has rust on it, but it can be clearly seen that the animal fat on it has fallen off, revealing the rust formed after the metal surface came into contact with the air.

The other three iron rods are a little dark and dull, and they don't seem to feel the metallic luster, but there is not a trace of rust on their bodies.

"These five iron rods have been exposed to the sun and rain outside for a period of time, but this one has not undergone any anti-rust treatment, which is anti-rust treatment with animal fat, and the other three have been treated with alum oil pickling and passivation."

With Wang Yang's detailed explanation, Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, suddenly realized, couldn't help but be a little excited. "Most of the weapons and equipment of my Great Song Dynasty are metal products. Maintenance is a time-consuming, labor-intensive, and money-consuming task. ”

"Yes, my brother is in the Ordnance Prison, and after a long period of observation, if the metal that is maintained with grease is exposed to the open air for a long time, then it needs to be wiped with grease frequently to prevent rust."

"Now, according to his explanation, the pickled and passivated metal created by him is much easier to maintain and consumes less grease ......"

"I see, it seems that I almost blamed Wang Wushan again, you ......" The Son of Heaven smashed his mouth, curiously looking at the passivated iron rod in his hand, and his heart was moved.

"Now that you haven't joined the company, you're already crying for my Great Song Dynasty's military equipment, and I'm very relieved......"

#####

Wang Yang left the two disciples to continue to operate in the chemical experiment, and he and Zhao Ji accompanied Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, to the study.

Only then did the Son of Heaven sip the fragrant tea, revealing a helpless and sad expression. "I've got a big problem today, alas, ......"

"Isn't it related to the disaster relief in the ten counties of the two states of Nahua Prefecture and Weizhou?" Wang Yang picked up the tea bowl and put it down again.

"Exactly, but this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that thousands of displaced people have come to Bianliang, and the number of people is still gathering more and more, and about how to deal with these displaced people, the civil and military forces in the DPRK are arguing."

"I was really upset to hear it, so I specially went out of the palace city to relax, thinking that I hadn't come to Wang Wushan for a long time, and I happened to come over for a walk...... "The Son of Heaven was a little shy, and he was embarrassed to say that he was here to ask Wang Yang for help.

As soon as he said this, Wang Yang still heard the meaning. "I don't know what suggestions do you have for the workers of the DPRK and China? Your Majesty, why are you so troubled? ”

"Those old party ministers and workers all felt that since there were a large number of displaced people, it was naturally impossible for the court to sit idly by, so they believed that those displaced people should be integrated into the army according to the usual practice." Speaking of this, Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, subconsciously glanced at Wang Yang.

But Wang Yang continued to look at the Son of Heaven quietly.

"On the other hand, the New Party expressed strong opposition to this, thinking that it was not easy for my Great Song Dynasty to dismantle hundreds of thousands of Xiang Army, and if the Xiang Army was reorganized, wouldn't it mean that all your hard work before Wang Wushan was in vain?"

Listening to the words of Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, Wang Yang also fell into thought. In a year of disaster, it is not the merchants, the landlords, or the craftsmen who are the least able to resist the disaster, but the peasants and tenants who depend on the land for their livelihood.

They have the lowest need for survival, but they are often the ones who suffer the most from the loss of profits, and in the event of a disaster, these farmers and tenants, who cannot withstand the impact the most, will either continue to borrow money to survive, or they will have to leave their homes to find something to eat.

And the reason why they went to Bianliang, Tokyo, was because this was the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was impossible for the court to see death, but the problem was that the fields around Bianliang had already been owned by individuals.

Therefore, what the court can do is to take out money and food to hang their lives, and then try to persuade them to return to their hometown and fight again.

The problem is that the disaster relief efficiency of the government and the court in this era is really low.

"Or, continue to let them go to the North Shaanxi Road to fill the border?" Zhao Ji blinked and made his own suggestion.

Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, couldn't help but light up his eyes. "Hey, that's a good idea......

"Your Majesty, this method can only be used when it is really forced to do so." On the other hand, Wang Yang did not directly express his approval of this method, but put forward his own views.

Today, the population of the six states on the North Shaanxi Road is more than two million. At present, North Shaanxi Road is still absorbing the poor people of Shaanxi Road and surrounding roads.

There is another problem, that is, the reason why the Xiang army was able to move to the North Shaanxi Road before was because those guys were already in the Xiang army, at least they belonged to the paramilitary army.
