my brother champion

Chapter 120 Making Gunpowder!Nitrate is easy to handle, sulfur is difficult

Seeing Sang Hongyang's reluctance, Huo Guang smiled lightly and said, "Sang Da Nong is really a clear stream in the officialdom of the big man. Presumably, he will be a clean and good official in the future, right?"

"Haha, tell the truth!"

"I never thought about earning poor man's money in the first place."

Sang Hongyang frowned, and asked: "Didn't you just say that you borrow money from those poor people? Money makes money or something? If you don't earn money from the poor, who do you earn from?"

Hearing this, Huo Guang shrugged his shoulders slightly and said, "Whoever has money, earns it!"

"Then what's the matter with money beget money?" Sang Hongyang asked hastily.

Huo Guang immediately laughed and said, "This is to attract others, first to give the people of the Han Dynasty a habit of buying a house first and then paying back the money. Later, they will induce those rich people to borrow money to buy more expensive houses."

"As for the price going up."

"Then, the huge profits in the real estate business will inevitably attract more businessmen to enter the game. At that time, more houses will be built. When those businessmen want to sell the houses, they will have to lower the price."

"Furthermore."

"The price of the house will also vary depending on the quality of the area."

"The places I chose have already occupied all the four good places close to Chang'an, southeast, north, and west."

"So I built the house."

"From the beginning, it was aimed at rich people, or officials in the court."

After some eloquent talk, Sang Hongyang also understood Huo Guang's intention.

just.

Still muttering to himself: "Huo Yilang, is the price different in different regions?"

"It sounds interesting."

"Then Huo Yilang, when do you want me to speak to His Majesty?"

Huo Guang shook his head at this moment and said: "This has to be done a little later. Now His Majesty is determined to send his troops to the north to fight the Huns who fled far away in Mobei."

"The treasury can only be used for military consumption."

"The rest of the matter is not recommended at this time. According to my thinking, at least wait until the end of the war, the treasury's money will be exhausted, and your Majesty will not fight the war, so the idea of ​​increasing taxes will not be so obvious. At that time, I will delegate power to you This is a big farming order."

"At that time, it will be the most effective thing if you go to speak again."

Listening to Huo Guang's analysis, Sang Hongyang couldn't help but look surprised.

The two were drinking and talking about things.

Maybe it was because he drank too much fruit stuffing, and for a while he felt a little bit like urinating.

So Huo Guang cupped his hands and said to Sang Hongyang: "Sang Da Nong, I drank too much, I need to go to the toilet, where is your Chang'anle toilet?"

Sang Hongyang was still thinking about what Huo Guang said earlier, so he casually pointed to the small yard behind the restaurant and said, "Get out of the box and go to the left. In that small yard is the toilet."

"Oh, okay."

After Huo Guang nodded, he left the box and went to the toilet.

If you want to say that in Chang'an Le, the only place that is different from his here music is this place.

Dirty, messy.

It's not even a clean toilet, it's a complete pit.

If you want a large size here, it is true that you are squatting in a pit.

Like the toilet in his Leli.

Ever since he came up with the cement, Huo Guang had someone renovate it, similar to the flush toilets in the public toilets of his previous school.

This is much cleaner than Chang'an Le's toilet.

When Huo Guang untied his clothes, he was draining the water comfortably.

suddenly.

A figure slipped in, stared at Huo Guang in a daze, and said with a choked up look: "My lord, Le Ya wants to go back here for fun, do you think it's okay?"

"I'll wipe!" The sudden voice made Huo Guang quickly slip away twice in fright, and then tied up his clothes.

Look back.

He looked at the singer who was talking, and was immediately annoyed.

This is the men's toilet!

Is that where you girls can come in?

Huo Guang was very angry, probably because he was taken aback just now.

And the singer who claimed to be Le Ya still said to herself: "Young master, if you don't let the slaves return to this place for fun, how about sending Le Ya back to Pingyang Mansion?"

Le Ya was one of the several singers who fled from Jianle to Chang'anle before. Because of her good looks, Huo Guang initially praised her as the "top" singer of Jianle.

Just like the so-called oiran in film and television dramas.

such a pity!
These beautiful singers came to Chang'an for the first time, and couldn't resist the temptation of prosperity and luxury.

then.

Under the instigation of Sang Hongyang, he fled to Chang'an Lelai with a few sisters.

But Huo Guang has a kind heart.

He didn't want to pursue the affairs of these singers, even if Princess Pingyang asked if she wanted to help "capture" these singers when she came last time, Huo Guang would forget it.

Now?

Why are you begging yourself again, saying you want to go back?

Hard to do.

Seeing his relationship with Sang Hongyang, he was afraid that he was looking for trouble, so he begged for mercy first?
Huo Guang didn't know the reason, so he frowned and said, "This is the men's toilet. What are you doing here? I don't like to talk about things here. As for you wanting to go back to Le Pingyang Mansion, that's impossible."

"When I was having fun here, I said that I am free to come and go here."

"But if you leave, it's impossible for you to come back."

"As for you wanting to go back to Pingyang Mansion, heh, even Princess Pingyang doesn't live there now, so why do you go back?"

Although I don't know what happened to Le Ya in Chang'an Le, which made her want to go back here.

but.

Sometimes, once you step out, there is no way to turn back.

and so.

Huo Guang mercilessly rejected Le Ya's request to return to Jian Le.

However, when he refused, Le Ya knelt down on the dirty toilet floor with a "plop", and said, "My lord, please take Le Ya back!"

"In the past, in the Pingyang Hou's Mansion, you only needed to serve the Hou Ye."

"Now here, I have to serve countless men every day. If I do not serve well, I will be beaten."

"Those nasty court officials will ask us to go to their houses to dance in private."

"And what to actually do."

"My lord, you should understand that Miss Xia'er was insulted and beaten by them because she didn't want to. In Chang'an, Le Ya couldn't stay here any longer."

Huo Guang glanced at Le Ya, who was kneeling on the ground without being too dirty, and only hummed lightly, saying, "None of my business!"

The words fall.

He stepped past her and walked straight out of the toilet.

There is still a difference between a kind hearted person and an honest person!
Treating yourself well is called kindness.Seeing that passers-by are pitiful, and giving some money to buy naan, that is kind-hearted.

But what about the singer who once backstabbed herself?
If there is a little bit of pity, they are all honest people and deserve to be stabbed in the back.

After returning to the box.

Huo Guang wiped his hands with a tissue newly produced by Qingfeng Xiangyin, and then said to Sang Hongyang with a smile, "I suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask Sang Danong."

Sang Hongyang also smiled and said, "What's the matter with Huo Yilang, please!"

Seeing this, Huo Guang asked, "How did Sang Da Nong trick those popular singers from my music to come to Chang'an Lezhong?"

After hearing this, Sang Hongyang laughed loudly and said, "Is Huo Yilang still angry about this?"

angry?

If it wasn't for meeting Le Ya.

He even forgot about it, and he was so angry!
and so!
Regarding what Sang Hongyang said, Huo Guang shook his head disdainfully, and said, "Why am I so angry? I'm just curious. How much did you pay to lure my top singers over? I'm happy to be right here. The respect of those singers, and the money they can afford, there is no reason to come to Chang'an, which is worse than you!"

"Worse?" Sang Hongyang seemed a little sensitive to these two words, but thinking of the future cooperation between the two, he had no choice but to say: "Forget it, don't worry about this, let's answer your question!"

"Does Huo Yilang think that respect and money are enough?"

"The human heart is always greedy."

"Greed is nothing more than money, fame, profit, power, sex and so on!"

"The people at the bottom always think about one thing, and that is to have enough food and warm clothes."

"The money and respect you give to those singers is nothing more than giving the people at the bottom enough to eat and wear good clothes."

"and this."

"At most, it can only be exchanged for a moment of gratitude."

"People at the bottom have enough food and clothing, and they will have all kinds of desires."

"Back when I dug over some of your top names in Chang'anle, I naturally told them something that could arouse their desire. Even, I'm not afraid to tell you that when they came here, I didn't even ask for money, so they ran away voluntarily. coming."

Didn't even say to give the money, just ran here?

is it possible?

Huo Guang didn't believe it immediately, and asked: "Sang Danong, please speak directly, Ben Yilang will listen to you."

see.

Sang Hongyang, who had failed to take advantage of Huo Guang several times, immediately said proudly: "I just said, His Majesty will come to our Chang'an to drink happily. Besides, there will be princes, generals, and officials in the court." All the lords of Gungun often come to join us."

Speaking of which.

Sang Hongyang's voice stopped abruptly, and he didn't say any more.

This made Huo Guang quite curious, and asked, "Is this gone?"

"Gone."

Sang Hongyang nodded.

Huo Guang was immediately puzzled, and asked, "What desire can this sentence arouse? Sang Danong, don't tease me!"

however.

Sang Hongyang replied with a smile: "You are a man, and you are also a champion brother. Now you are more favored by His Majesty. Naturally, you don't feel this sentence."

"Think about it, where did the singers you invited come from?"

"Pingyang Marquis Mansion!"

"Where is Pingyang Hou's Mansion? It is the place where the current empress, the young phoenix lives in the forest."

"And your singers all come from there."

"It means, hehe, Huo Yilang, taste it, taste it carefully."

Good guy, it really is true that since ancient times, affection can't be kept, only routines can win people's hearts!
Sang Hongyang said a few words.

Just deceived those good-looking singers from the past, what can Huo Guang say?

Huo Guang even thought about getting some anti-fraud slogans for his restaurant to warn his people not to be fooled by guys like Sang Hongyang again.

but!

Just think about it.

Not to mention Sang Hongyang's clever method, even in modern times, with the kind of deception with transparent information and rotten routines, wouldn't it still deceive many people?
"Hey!"

Thinking of this, Huo Guang couldn't help but sighed.

Seeing him sigh, Sang Hongyang asked, "What's wrong with Huo Yilang? Why does he look so sad all of a sudden?"

"No!" Huo Guang shook his head, then cupped his hands and said to Sang Hongyang: "Today, I have been taught."

Behind.

The two chatted for a while.

I wanted to continue the chat, but for some unknown reason, the Chang'an Le Restaurant suddenly caught fire, and there was a lot of smoke.

In the past.

It is conceivable how serious a fire is in a house with such a wooden material structure as the main body.

So Huo Guang could only say goodbye to Sang Hongyang and went back to the restaurant.

Simultaneously.

He also ordered Bu San to pay attention to the fire prevention here.After all, the structure of his Le Restaurant here is also mainly made of wood.

If it burns.

I am afraid that the fire is as difficult to extinguish as Chang'anle.

While it was still early, Huo Guang called some servants, carrying wooden buckets, and went to the garden where Sang raised small animals.

Here.

It was originally a deserted land, but now it has been managed like a zoo.

Thanks to Sang Qian's contribution.

but.

For Huo Guang, those small animals in this garden are not important.

he wants.

It was the dirt walls that supported the shed, and he had poured manure on both sides.

Huo Guang commanded the servants to scrape white mold-like objects on both sides of the earth wall with a shovel, and at the same time scraped off the earth.

that's it.

After collecting ten buckets of soil, Huo Guang asked his servants to pour all the soil into jars of different sizes, fill them with water, soak them, and remove the filth floating on the water.

The next thing to do is to wait quietly for the night to pass.

By the second day.

Huo Guang took it out again, boiled it in a pot, and when the water dries up, he will find the phenomenon of nitrification.

It is said in "Tiangong Kaiwu" that the one that floats up is Glauber's salt, the one that grows up is Glauber's salt, and the one that is below is Pu's salt. After purification, it is poured into a basin, and it crystallizes into white snow through the night, which is called basin salt.

For making gunpowder, tooth nitrate and pot nitrate have the same functions.

This is the local method of making nitrate in ancient times.

of course.

This technology absolutely did not appear in the Han Dynasty, and even the concept of nitric acid did not exist yet!

and so.

Huo Guang's nitrate-making technology is definitely No.1 in the Han Dynasty!
Now there is nitrate.

The only thing that is missing is sulfur, and to make sulfur, the production method described in "Tiangong Kaiwu" is to use pyrite as the raw material, wrap the ore with coal cakes, pile it up and put it in a furnace for calcination.

The furnace is easy to do.

Coal cakes are also easy to make.

Is this pyrite?It's not easy!
As long as the ore has a relationship with "iron", under the official policy of Yantie Iron, it should be avoided as much as possible.

otherwise.

Maybe one day I will be raped by His Majesty, but I don't know why.

Huo Guang was thinking about these things.

Unexpectedly, the kid Wei Wei came running and stared at Huo Guang with a look of extreme dissatisfaction.

This made Huo Guang a little puzzled. He touched his face and asked, "Is there something dirty on my face?"

"no!"

Wei Kang said loudly.

"No, no, no, what are you yelling so loudly!" Huo Guang frowned, and then cursed: "Don't stare at me, go, go, stay, I'm busy."

The words fall.

He pushed Wei Kang away.

In this regard.

Little Fatty was even more dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Why did you come back by yourself yesterday, and you didn't ask me to come back with you, did you?"

Huo Guang said lightly: "Your Majesty ordered me to enter the palace, and all the eunuchs have come to find me. I can't resist the order, can I?"

"Oh, yes."

"Old cousin, can you think of a way to get me some pyrite?"
