Chapter 886: Hongwu Makes Words
Xin Xianying pointed to a little eunuch and asked, "When you were at home, did you see it?" ”
The little eunuch entered the palace many years earlier, and at that time life was not good, and he said that if there was a good life now, I would not have to go into the palace to beg for a living. The little eunuch shook his head.
Qin Feng suddenly looked very self-reproachful, and said: "This is indeed my fault, I only care about fighting, and I haven't taken care of many people's livelihood issues over the years." ”
He sighed, Xin Xianying felt distressed, blamed himself and said: "Your Majesty, it's the courtiers who said wrong, you are the king of a country." The king of a country will be in danger of losing the country if he delves into the path, so it is the courtier's mistake, and the emperor is not wrong. ”
"Huh?" It is rare for Emperor Hongwu's little tail to take the initiative to admit his mistakes, so Emperor Hongwu quickly became happy and said: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and countless small roads are gathered together to be the great road." ”
Xin Xianying's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took out a pen and paper from his sleeve to record it, and said: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small Xian, it is really a warning maxim......." She couldn't see through Emperor Hongwu, but she knew that Emperor Hongwu might be the most wise and martial son of heaven in all dynasties.
Xin Xianying is reserved, but the chief manager doesn't care at all, although he doesn't know what it means to govern a big country like cooking Xiaoxian, but looking at Historian Xin's reaction, it must contain a big truth. Dequan often followed Emperor Hongwu, suddenly remembered the words of the military advisors, took the opportunity to bow to the ground, and shouted: "The emperor's life, the ministers' respect for the emperor is like a surging river...... continuous...... Rolling....... ”
Dequan forgot about it for a while, and suddenly sweated profusely. The heart is broken, the sycophant is not filmed well, and the little life is not guaranteed!
Fortunately, Qin Feng was very embarrassed. The heart said that the master was actually not very sage, but the master often stood on the head of the sage people, so he absorbed their sage head, "Okay, okay, don't say it." ”
Dequan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, his ancestors blessed, and when he went back at night, he would make up for the knowledge of sycophants.
Thereupon. Qin Feng began to purify the refined salt.
Hundreds of years later, domestic sugar craftsmen invented the "drip method" to remove impurities from brown sugar and turn it into white sugar. The method is to boil brown sugar to a certain concentration, pour it into a funnel-shaped pottery called "tile", and pour yellow mud from the top, and from the point of view of modern technology, the yellow mud is used as an adsorption type to make white sugar.
There are multiple layers of cotton yarn filtration inside this tile. The principle is the same as that of the drinking water filter of later generations.
Qin Feng asked the little eunuch to crack the big salt cube into pieces, pour it into the pot and fuse it into the water, and the water immediately turned into a brown liquid like a large salt cube. The liquid is poured into the tiles and filtered with yellow mud. When it comes out. It has become a clear and translucent liquid.
Xin Xianying's eyes flickered. I couldn't believe it, "Yikes! How is this possible? ”
Qin Feng smelled the aroma coming from the little tail, and suddenly felt relaxed, shook the tile in his hand and said, "The secret is all in this." ”
So, Qin Feng asked the little eunuch to boil the already clear liquid, and when the water evaporated, only a thin layer of white powder remained in the pot. Qin Feng couldn't wait to twist out a little and put it in his mouth. Salty, but salty mellow. There is no longer that faint bitter taste.
Then. Dequan couldn't help but hold the tile and explore the structure inside.
"Dequan!"
When Qin Feng saw it, he frowned and looked over, very dissatisfied.
Dequan was startled, and suddenly realized, this is a confidential thing, and he will not become a voyeur secret! He hurriedly bowed and said, "The minister didn't see anything, the minister knew it was wrong!" ”
In the evening, Qin Feng collected more than a catty of refined salt, and asked the imperial dining room to use this salt to cook for everyone in the palace.
"Eat more vegetables."
As soon as Qin Feng spoke, the expressions of the princesses were very reluctant, and they reluctantly picked up the food in front of them to eat, and when they found that there was no more strange taste, they couldn't help but eat more.
Qin Feng, as his father, was very relieved to see it.
The princesses were very curious, and asked how the dish tasted so good today. Empress Cai Yan said: "Your father was busy all afternoon, and he remade refined salt, just so that you can eat more vegetables!" ”
The princesses felt their father's love and their hearts were warm.
Qin Feng personally picked up vegetables for Cai Yan and said with a smile: "There are many vitamin things in this, eating more is not only good for the body, but also more beautiful." These vitamins and nutrients are stored in food, which is why if you don't eat, you will starve to death, and you can grow if you eat! ”
Be pretty! This sentence attracted the attention of the princesses more than the later words, and the princesses' ears were pricked up, and they ate more. At the same time, I was thinking, "How did the emperor (father) figure out how to make zuò refined salt, and what vitamins are really incredible!" ”
However, Xin Xianying, who was on the side, thought more deeply, and Fang Xin was shocked, "Since ancient times, people only know that they will die if they don't eat, and no one knows the reason, it turns out that there are vitamins and other nutrients!" "She almost admires the death of Qin Feng, Emperor Hongwu is the real Son of Heaven, and I am afraid that only God knows these things, and they have been passed on to the Son of Heaven.
She was very embarrassed again, walked over, and saluted: "Courtier...... The courtiers didn't know how to write these three words, so they asked the emperor to teach ....... It turns out that this vitamin is a new word, even Xin Xianying, who is no less talented than a university scholar, doesn't know how to combine those three words.
The ancients were so cute! Qin Feng was "helpless", so he had to teach him by hand.
In this regard, the entire palace was also full of question marks, and in the end, everyone summed it up as the difference of the Holy Son of Heaven. "Emperor Hongwu is definitely the true son of heaven, so he knows many things that only God knows, and we mortals don't understand."
Come to the day, early to the morning.
"If you have something to do with the class, you will play early, and you will retreat from the curtain if you have nothing to do!" Dequan shook off the dust routine.
"The minister has this to play!"
Qin Fenglong looked up and down from the throne, and saw that it was Zuo Bu's political envoy Hua Xin, Hua Xin was in charge of the people's livelihood, and it must not be a trivial matter for him to have something to do. Qin Feng hurriedly asked, "Hua Aiqing, what's the matter with you?" ”
Hua Xin held the board in his hand, bowed down, and said in an anxious tone: "Your Majesty, report it quickly yesterday." Heavy rain in Xie County for a month has affected the salt in the pond and the output has dropped sharply. Salt prices have skyrocketed across the country. Merchants mostly smuggled well salt from Xichuan to make huge profits. Salt is an indispensable commodity for people's livelihood every day, and if the price is allowed to skyrocket, it is afraid that the people will change! ”
"Something like this happened!" Qin Feng frowned when he heard this, and said, "Where is Hu Che'er?" ”
"The minister is here!"
"The salt industry is the lifeblood of the country, and the people are indispensable for a day. Isn't it a loss of life? Your black-clad guards are now on hand to crack down on smugglers! ”
"Yes!"
Zuo Bu's political envoy Hua Xin still looked very worried. "Your Majesty, it's right to crack down on smuggling, but salt, lack of salt ......." ”
Salt is such a thing. In later generations, Qin Feng never lacked. I was very impatient, and said casually: "I heard that there is salt by the river, and there is also salt in the rock, called river salt, rock salt, just dig it out and boil it for use." ”
"Faint King!"
At the same time, such a word flashed in Baiguan's heart.
Hua Xin was a little dumbfounded, and said in his heart that with the wisdom of my emperor. How can such a mediocre thing be said is as ridiculous as "why don't they drink porridge when they are hungry?"
"Your Majesty!" Xu Shu, the first auxiliary division of the Military Aircraft Department, hurriedly left the shift. "River salt, rock salt is poisonous and cannot be used. After eating, the whole body will be swollen, the skin will be bruised, and the constitution will become extremely weak and unable to do things. Some even died outright. ”
Qin Feng suddenly realized that this was 1,800 years ago, and there was no technology, so he could only use naturally purified well salt and pool salt. And even in the Tang Dynasty, river salt and rock salt could not be purified for these salts. The bead curtain in front of Qin Feng trembled slightly, and he waved his hand to explain: "That's because these salts contain impurities such as nitrate, phosphorus, and potassium, and you can eat them together, and it's no wonder if nothing happens." ”
The hundred officials were shocked, they still knew what nitrate was, "What is this phosphorus and potassium?" Scale? ”
When Qin Feng heard the words "Longyan Dayue", he said in his heart that the officials in ancient times were so cute, and it was just that the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were not known, and they were actually involved with fish scales. According to this consideration, nitrogen is the egg, and potassium is the iron armor. So, Qin Feng hurriedly explained, this nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is not an egg scale armor.
"It turned out to be trace elements?" At the same time, the hundred officials were shocked, but they didn't know what trace elements were.
Qin Fengxin said to explain to you, you probably won't understand it in a year or two, so Qin Feng can only use the "power" order, "If you don't understand, forget it, as long as you know how to remove these substances, rock salt and river salt can be eaten, and you won't get purple all over your body and die of illness." ”
When the hundred officials were shocked, the female Shi Xin Xianying, who was in charge of the record, came out and bowed: "Your Majesty, the courtiers don't know how to write these words?" ”
Qin Feng was very helpless about the "ignorance" of the ancients, so he had to personally pick up the pen and write down the simplified characters of phosphorus and potassium.
Xin Xianying, a red-faced historian, blushed with excitement, and hurriedly recorded: Emperor Hongwu proposed new words for phosphorus and potassium, but none of the officials knew it. So how did the emperor know?
When Qin Feng's words came out, Jia Xu knelt down at that time and shouted: "The emperor is Shengming!" was able to create zào characters at will, even the ancient sages could not be compared with the emperor! Jia Xu's words worried Xin Xianying.
Only then did the officials realize that the emperor had actually made up words, oh my God! Make words! Only saints can make words, and the ministers have long forgotten the word faint monarch. Hulala knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Emperor Shengming, create a new text!" ”
When the cry came to his face, Qin Feng was very embarrassed, and said in his heart I just wrote a few simplified characters, look at what shocks you. However, the seal characters of the Han Dynasty are very different from the simplified characters of later generations, Qin Feng wrote a few casually, which was tantamount to a literary earth-shaking place in the group of ministers, and he knelt down at that time.
So, Kong Rong trembled and knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister has been collecting text proofreading for a period of time to support the local cultural education of the scholars and rural scholars. Pray that the emperor will give these words and their meanings to the ministers, so that the ministers can be included in the classics. ”
"Books? Then call it a dictionary! Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Dictionary! Good name! The officials were simply shocked. Especially the old courtiers of the previous dynasty, I said that those emperors of the Han family knew in the last dynasty, ahh
Xin Xianying first recorded it before Kong Rong, she didn't know what Qin Feng had in his head, just say a word, a word can be thought-provoking, and it can be passed down for centuries.
"Hongwu Dictionary! This is a great thing for the benefit of all generations! Kong Rong shuddered.
So, Qin Feng issued an edict ordering Confucius's descendant Kong Rong to convene Confucian masters and compile a Hongwu dictionary.
Hundreds of officials congratulated together, and said in their hearts that they must follow our Hongwu Emperor to do a good job, and they will definitely be able to follow the prosperity of Hongwu Emperor in the future.
After greeting him, Hua Xin had only one problem in his heart, and said straightly: "Your Majesty, salt, the problem of salt." ”
"Hua Aiqing, the problem of salt is easy to solve. Salt-rich minerals are crushed, dissolved, filtered, and crystallized before they can be eaten. Everything in the world is changeable, don't solidify your brain, sometimes you can solve the problem by being flexible and finding a good way. ”
"The emperor knows that this dissolves...... How to filter? Hua Xin hurriedly said.
Qin Feng said: "What a coincidence, the day before yesterday, the princesses disliked the taste of mixed salt and didn't eat vegetables, so I took the time to make refined salt." This method of making zuò refined salt can also purify river salt and rock salt. These are just trails, and you don't need to panic. I sent an edict to the Royal Chamber of Commerce to take charge of the purification of salt. In the future, the pool salt will also be purified again, so that the people of the Great Qin Dynasty can eat assured salt. If you eat good salt, you can have more energy to do things. ”
"Take the time! Trail! The ministers were shocked when they heard this, and said in their hearts that this salt industry is related to the livelihood of all the people in the world, and only I, Emperor Shengming Hongwu, am qualified to call this a small road, and I will solve it when I take the time!
The ministers sighed, which one is strong in the thousand-year-old prosperous era, only the Great Qin Hongwu Emperor! (To be continued......)
