Chapter 1179 Why Is Alum Oil Called Sulfuric Acid? (2nd Update)
Chapter 1179
But what should be done about it? If there really is a large number of displaced people coming to this capital again, what should the court do?
Could it be that they are really ignored? Of course not, but if the displaced people are incorporated into the Xiang army, then wouldn't the series of efforts made by Wang Yang and Wang Wushan on the North Shaanxi Road for the redundant soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty be in vain?
Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, was very distressed, but there was no good way at the moment, and after thinking about it, in the end, he could only ask Ma Shang to find someone from the Imperial City Division and ask them to send someone to keep an eye on it.
"There are two states and seven counties in Huazhou and Weizhou, hehe, sir, you may not know, not only the seven counties of Huazhou and Weizhou, but actually the nine counties in two states were affected, and one of the biggest reasons is that it was the night before the disaster."
"Weizhou Zhizhou Zhang knows the 60th birthday, and the officials of all the counties under the jurisdiction of Weizhou have gone to Weizhou to pay their respects to their bosses, but as a result, that night, the rainstorm suddenly came, and those officials were all ...... in Weizhou"
"Ridiculous, how can they do that?" Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Wang Yang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. "We all know that the rain on Gyeonggi Road this year is very heavy, and in previous years, flooding may occur at any time, and this time is the time when the rain is most frequent."
"For the 60th birthday of a governor, he put the people of several counties in Weizhou in danger, and the important thing is that after the fact, he deliberately concealed part of the disaster in order to hide the truth? Their guts, this is too big, isn't it? ”
"Fortunately, this time, His Majesty not only assigned the imperial history to go, but also sent the Imperial City Division to secretly reconnoitre, and only then did I learn about it...... I don't know, if the court can't grasp the whole situation of the disaster, there will inevitably be more accidents. ”
"That's how those things will be handled?"
"Your Majesty is furious and intent on dismissing the governor of Weizhou and all the county officials who participated in the birthday banquet, but the ministers of the court and the central government have tried hard to persuade each other, just when the prefectures and counties are affected by the disaster, if the officials are suddenly replaced, those newly arrived officials are afraid that it will be difficult to take over in the shortest possible time."
"Therefore, in the end, Your Majesty can only correct his first evil, take the post of governor of Weizhou and two of the county commanders, and make the remaining officials guilty and meritorious......" Zhao Ji shrugged his shoulders helplessly and explained.
Wang Yang was also very hurt when he heard it, and he was more helpless, although those officials who persuaded the Son of Heaven may have ulterior motives, but what they said was indeed the truth.
At such a critical juncture, the wanton dismissal of officials and the instability of officialdom will indeed make officials in the disaster areas panic and will also affect the efficiency of disaster relief.
The matter is not only those bad things about officialdom, even if the government and the court have made great efforts, there are still many people who have lost their homes, and the houses have collapsed and collapsed, and they have come to Bianliang with their families.
In just a few days, more than 3,000 displaced people have gathered outside Bianliang City, and some displaced people are converging towards Bianliang in Beijing......
And how to deal with these displaced people has become an imminent big problem.
The old party strongly demanded that the court reorganize these displaced people into the box army as quickly as possible, so that the displaced people could be calmed down after the lack of food and clothing, and they were resentful of the court, which would lead to a series of consequences.
However, the new party represented by Zhang Dian strongly expressed their opposition, believing that the court had managed to dispose of hundreds of thousands of Xiang troops with great difficulty and solved the problem of redundant troops in the Great Song Dynasty, so it was absolutely impossible to continue to reorganize the Xiang army and increase the burden on the court.
The two sides disputed, and in desperation, Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, could only announce that the dispute would be shelved first, and ordered the Jingshi to set up a porridge factory and build a shack for the displaced people to live for the time being.
After the ministers left, the Son of Heaven walked into the imperial study with a worried face, and after thinking about it, he paused.
"Change my clothes, Marchand, prepare a carriage for me, not the one that goes out on patrol, but the one that is a single horse."
More than half a time later, a light and sturdy four-wheeled carriage, surrounded by a group of easy-to-disguise royal front banzhi, came to Wang Yang's mansion.
Seeing a group of people, the family guarding outside the gate of the mansion recognized Ma Shang, the confidant eunuch beside His Majesty, at first glance, and then saw Zhao Xu, the son of heaven in a brocade robe, got out of the carriage, and his legs were weak and he was about to bow down.
"Get up, Wang Wu can be in the mansion?" Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, waved his hand and motioned for Jia Ding to get up, and then asked.
"My son-in-law is in the mansion, and he is instructing his disciples and His Royal Highness King Duan to conduct experiments in the chemical laboratory......" This family member naturally did not dare to slack off in the face of the question of the Son of Heaven, and said with a handful of beans poured into the bamboo tube.
Hearing this, Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said curiously. "Chemistry lab? Do the experiment...... Interesting, it seems that Wang Wushan has come up with something new, and the eleventh brother also came over to join in the fun. I'm going to go and see, you don't have to be gracious, lead the way......"

"The optimal ratio is one part saltpeter and five parts alum, and then mix them evenly, you remember, you must grind them, and never hammer them, because saltpeter is like gunpowder, and it will explode when it hits......"
Wang Yang was still wearing a white coat, wearing flat eyes and a mask, directing the three disciples around him who were dressed like him to do things.
"What we have to do today is to make alum oil in the laboratory, which is the test ...... of sulfuric acid"
"Sir, why do you call alum oil sulfuric acid?" Zhao Ji worked hard to grind the green alum with the small stone mill in front of him, and asked curiously towards Wang Yang.
"Because the main thing in alum oil is sulfur, and one of the values of alum oil is acidic, so I made it clear that its chemical name is sulfuric acid." Wang Yang said very righteously.
The naming right must be in their own hands, and in the future, Master Wang will be able to become the father of chemistry with the development of chemistry.
"I see, then the hydrochloric acid and nitric acid you are talking about are not related to the table salt that people eat, and the saltpeter used to make gunpowder?" Zhao Ji is worthy of being a smart person, and he knows how to draw inferences from one example.
"It seems that you have a talent for being a good scientist." Wang Yang looked very optimistic about your expression and eyes, but unfortunately the mask and eyes blocked his vivid expression changes.
"That's natural, Xiao Wang will definitely work harder, and strive to become a person like you, Mr., who can integrate mathematics, physics and chemistry." After Zhao Ji sniffed, he said proudly.
"I'm also very optimistic about you, Shishilang, you will definitely become the ...... of mathematics, physics and chemistry that you want to become" At this time, a loud laugh came from outside the chemistry laboratory, which made the movements of the people in the room uncontrollable.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Wang Yang saw Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, who was standing outside the door smiling and groaning, quickly took off his mask, and walked forward quickly to salute.
"Okay, you don't have to be polite, but Wang Wushan, why are you dressed so weirdly?" After Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, raised his hand with a smile, he pointed to the strange behavior of Wang Yang and the others. "And why do you wear your eyes?"
