Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 357

[Chapter 357 Yanshan Movement]

“Very good.”

Looking at the neat and beautiful soap in front of him, Zhao Xu showed a satisfied smile.

This time he really watched the whole process, but the students gave him perfect answers.

A kind of teacher’s self-satisfaction gradually rose in his heart.

Wang Chong, Qu Sheng and other students exchanged glances with each other.

They were very nervous throughout the process, fearing that they would fail.

Now that they have succeeded and have been recognized by King Yan, a kind of joy arises spontaneously in their hearts.

The most important thing is that this time I personally made soap from scratch.

This is a verification of the knowledge in the textbook.

What the king of Yan told them was true, without falsehood.

“It’s amazing. All this can’t be seen or touched, but it happened like this.” Qu Sheng and Wang Chong stood side by side, and they are still thinking about it.

Quicklime dissolves in water and becomes calcium hydroxide.

Calcium hydroxide and soda ash turn into sodium hydroxide again, which is the caustic soda needed for the chemical reaction.

The final saponification reaction yields soap and by-product glycerin.

And judging from the knowledge he has mastered, this glycerin will play a very important role in the future.

“This is just a small thing, and you will continue to see more amazing things in the future.” Zhao Xu laughed.

Wang Chong looked excited, “Having learned these things taught by His Highness, I will die without regret.”

“Hahaha…” Zhao Xu laughed.

He just wanted the attitude of the students, if you hear the truth in the morning, it is enough to die in the evening.

I also shared with the students the experience of making soap this time.

Zhao Xu said to Wang Chong: “This saponification reaction is just the beginning. This king wants you to go to Beifang District of Chengdefang to build a soap shop in person, so as to provide a steady stream of soap to commercial companies in the future.

” He said: “How about Qu Sheng taking the lead in this knowledge?” The

other students didn’t speak, so they naturally couldn’t offer their opinions.

After all, Qu Sheng was recognized as the best learner among them.

They usually ask Qu Sheng about something they don’t understand.

Hearing this, Wang Chong grimaced, “Your Highness, have you fallen out of favor?”

“Well, you guessed it right.” Zhao Xu laughed.

“No, Your Highness.” Wang Chong put on a pitiful look.

Zhao Xu didn’t bother to pay attention to him. Compared with Qu Sheng’s plainness, Wang Chong was obviously much more lively and often played tricks in front of him.

Turning around to Qu Sheng, Zhao Xu said, “Do you have the confidence?”

“Yes.” Qu Sheng’s tone was firm.

He knew that King Yan gave him this opportunity because he valued him.

But at the moment, Yan Wang just thinks that he is good at learning, and asking him to build a soap shop is to test his ability to practice.

Only when this matter is done well can he be reused like Wang Chong.

“Okay, this king will talk to Master Wang, and you can ask him for anything you need.” Zhao Xu said.

Then he looked at the group of students, seeing envy in the eyes of all the students, and said: “I know what you are thinking, don’t worry, as long as you have learned the textbooks well, I will let you be alone in the future. ” When the

students heard the words, they immediately became excited, and each of them seemed to have a light in their eyes.

After explaining the matter, Zhao Xu returned to the palace.

After dinner, he went to the study.

After working for half an hour, he folded several drawings.

This is the mineral map of Yanzhou and how to distinguish various minerals.

After tossing for so long, this thing is finally finished.

Now he intends to let the students of the Science and Technology School gradually establish various industries in the four counties.

Another obstacle hindering industrial development is minerals.

Various elements in the periodic table of elements were only used in a small part in ancient times, mainly gold, silver, copper and gold.

But other elements were equally important, even to the rise of industry.

Now, it is necessary to find out these minerals.

That way, you don’t need to panic when you need it.

Thinking of handing over these maps to the Government Affairs School the next day and organizing the students to study, he started compiling textbooks again.

In his view, this group of students will basically be able to master the knowledge at the junior high school level by the end of the year.

Next, we will learn more advanced things.

This involves knowledge at the high school level.

In addition, the government affairs school and the military school have corresponding upgrades.

Taking advantage of his free time at night, he naturally wanted to be busy with this matter.

After all, there is no telling when the war will resume again.

next day.

He first went to the Science and Technology School and gave some lectures, then Qu Sheng went to Chengdefang to build a soap factory by himself.

Then he went to the government affairs school.

After the lecture, he gathered the students of the ore prospecting department selected by Liu Fu, and specially showed them the mineral map and the characteristics of various minerals.

In the next few days, while paying attention to Qu Sheng’s soap shop, he gave lectures to the students of the Mining Division.

On this day, Zhao Xu went to the Department of Administrative Affairs as usual.

Suddenly Chang Wei found him.

“What’s wrong?” Zhao Xu asked

“The final general received news from Wu’an County that more than a thousand infantrymen from the Black Iron King’s Tent tried to cross Yanshan Mountain and enter Yan County, but were blocked by our Wubao. They attacked Wubao, but were shot down by our artillery. Go back.” Chang Wei said.

“More than a thousand people? Beidi dispatched more and more soldiers and horses. It seems that we want to tear down the king’s bastion and enter Yan County at will like before. It’s just that they are daydreaming.” Zhao Xu’s eyes narrowed. stand up.

Looking to the north, he continued: “Now the people of Beidi got lucky and found someone who can make cannons for him. Next, they might attack the bastion with cannons.”

Chang Wei nodded, with a gleam in his eyes. Worried, “If Beidi’s army attacks the bastion with artillery, it will undoubtedly be very bad news, which will offset the advantage of our royal family’s army.

” The king will make their artillery useless.” Zhao Xu suddenly laughed.

Confidence is very important for soldiers.

He didn’t want the news that Beidi had artillery to arouse the fear of Beidi in the hearts of the soldiers of the palace.

On the battlefield, the belief that you must win is very important.

Chang Wei realized that there was something in King Yan’s words, so he hurriedly asked: “Does Your Highness have a solution?”

Zhao Xu decided not to be fooled, so he said: “This king is asking Wang Ying to improve the current artillery, which will be better in terms of power and range. It has improved.”

In fact, Zhao Xu is very confident in his artillery.

First of all, the material of his artillery is steel.

It was not until the mid-nineteenth century that steel cannons appeared in contemporary times.

The second is bore cutting, which basically means that his artillery is at the top artillery level in the mid-nineteenth century, that is, during the Opium War.

And if this missionary can get into the extreme north, he must not be a high-level scholar in this country of Ross, and he will basically not master the most advanced gun-making methods in the country.

Maybe he understands the principle of making artillery, but whether he can reach his artillery level is debatable.
