Since ancient times, talented people have been born in the Red Chamber

Chapter 1171 Come to find the emperor who solves the problem (Part [-])
Chapter 1180

"Your Majesty, there are many chemicals in this chemical laboratory that are highly corrosive and toxic. To avoid accidents, these outfits are necessary." Wang Yang took off his eyes and looked at the emperor Zhao Xu He gestured and explained.

"These are plain glasses, mainly used to prevent toxic and corrosive substances from splashing and hurting the eyes."

The Son of Heaven, Zhao Xu, looked at the transparent bottles and cans with a face full of novelty, asking questions. Although Wang Yang was very annoyed that the Son of Heaven came here to make trouble and affect his experiment.

But he could only helplessly assume his responsibilities, and patiently explained to the emperor the purpose of these things and the experiment they were going to conduct now.

"Green vitriol oil, isn't that what Taoist alchemists use to make elixirs? Wang Wushan, are you planning to make elixirs and become immortals?" The emperor said in confusion after hearing Wang Yang's explanation.

"Your Majesty, the green vitriol oil refined by Sir is intended to be used to prevent and remove rust from metal parts. It is not used to make elixirs..." Fortunately, Zhao Ji, the eldest disciple, took the responsibility very conscientiously. He accepted his responsibility and spoke for Wang Yang.

"Yes, this vitriol oil can not only remove rust, but also prevent metal from being rusted. I wonder if your Majesty noticed the iron rods outside the laboratory when you came in?" Wang Yang smiled, He raised his finger and pointed to several stick-shaped objects standing upright on the ground in the open space outside the door of the chemical laboratory.

"Of those five iron rods, one has not been pickled and passivated, another has been treated with animal fat to prevent rust, and the other three rods have been pickled with different concentrations of green vitriol oil. Wash the passivated..."

Wang Yangchong beckoned to Wu Qilang who was standing in the doorway, and this guy walked over quickly, pulled out the four iron rods from the soil one by one, and walked over quickly to hand them over.

Only then did Emperor Zhao Xu notice that one of the four iron rods was stained with rust. It must have been caused by long-term exposure to the sun, wind, and rain.

The other one also has rust on it, but it can be clearly seen that the animal grease on it should have fallen off, exposing the rust formed after the metal surface was in contact with the air.

As for the other three iron rods, they looked a little dark, as if they could not feel the metallic luster, but there was not a single trace of rust on the rods.

"These five iron rods have been out in the sun, wind and rain for a while, but this one has not been treated with any anti-rust treatment. It has been treated with animal fat for anti-rust treatment, and the other three are made of It has been pickled and passivated with green vitriol oil."

Following Wang Yang's detailed explanation, Emperor Zhao Xu suddenly realized, and couldn't help getting a little excited. "Most of my weapons and equipment in Song Dynasty are made of metal. Maintenance is an extremely time-consuming, labor-intensive and financially consuming task."

"Yes, I am in the Ordnance Supervision. After a long period of observation, I found that if metals that are maintained using grease are exposed to the open air for a long time, they need to be wiped with grease frequently to prevent rust."

"Now, according to Mr.'s explanation, the maintenance of the pickled and passivated metal pioneered by Mr. is much simpler and consumes less grease..."

"I see. It seems that I almost misjudged you, Wang Wushan again..." The Son of Heaven smacked his mouth and looked curiously at the passivated iron rod in his hand, feeling deeply moved in his heart.

"Now you haven't joined the job yet, but you are already weeping and weeping for the military equipment of the Great Song Dynasty. I am so relieved..."

Wang Yang left behind those two disciples to continue to operate the chemical experiment inside, and he and Zhao Ji accompanied the emperor Zhao Xu to the study.

Only then did the emperor sip the fragrant tea, showing a helpless and sad expression. "I have encountered a big problem today, alas..."

"Could it be related to the disaster relief in Huazhou, Weizhou and ten counties?" 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 refugees have come to Bianliang now, and the number of people is still getting larger and larger. As for how these refugees should be dealt with, the DPRK and China The civil and military forces are noisy."

"I was really annoyed by what I heard, so I went out of Miyagi to relax. I was thinking that I haven't been to Wang Wushan for a long time, so I just came here for a stroll..." The emperor was a little shy, and he was embarrassed to say that he came to ask for help. Wang Yang's.

After showing him these words, Wang Yang still understood the meaning. "I don't know all the workers in the court, but what advice do you have? Why are you so troubled, Your Majesty?"

"Those old party ministers and workers all felt that since there were a large number of refugees, it was impossible for the court to just sit back and ignore them. Therefore, they believed that those refugees should be integrated into the Xiang army as usual." Having said this , Emperor Zhao Xu subconsciously glanced at Wang Yang.

But Wang Yang continued to look at the emperor calmly.

"The New Party expressed strong opposition to this and believed that our Song Dynasty had finally laid off hundreds of thousands of Xiang troops. If we re-establish Xiang troops, wouldn't it mean that all your hard work, Wang Wushan, has been wasted?" In vain?"

After hearing what the emperor Zhao Xu said, Wang Yang was also lost in thought.In every disaster year, those with the weakest ability to resist disasters are not businessmen, landowners, or craftsmen, but the farmers and tenants who rely on the land and rely on it for their livelihood.

Their survival needs are the lowest, but they are often the ones who suffer the most loss of interests. Once a disaster occurs, these farmers and tenants who cannot withstand the impact either continue to borrow money to survive the day, or they can only leave their hometowns to find a meal. .

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

Therefore, what the court can do is to give them money and food to support their lives, and then try to persuade them to return to their hometown and work hard again.

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

"How about we continue to let them go to Shaanxi North Road to fill the frontier?" Zhao Ji blinked and put forward his own suggestion.

Emperor Zhao Xu couldn't help but his eyes lit up. "Hey, this is also a good idea..."

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