Great Tang Southern Emperor

"That's how it is... Hey, what is this?" Li Zhen was about to leave, but suddenly she saw a bottle of light blue liquid from the corner of her eyes. The liquid blue was very pure, as pure as the sky. It is very beautiful, and it makes people feel refreshed just by looking at it.

"This...Your Highness, do you remember the oil tank that you asked your subordinates to study?"

"Yu Guan? Come to think of it, could this be the extract of You Guan?" Li Zhen thought for a while, and suddenly recalled that when she first entered Nanyang, she once fought against an unknown enemy named Locke.

Locke led himself to a mountain bag, and then set fire to the mountain. He was almost burned to death there, and the oil tank was found on that mountain by himself. The oil content is very rich and easy to burn, but the smoke is poisonous. If the skin is contaminated, it will be very itchy. Fortunately, I found a kind of grass that can detoxify, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to suffer a lot.

Afterwards, I asked someone to collect a part of the oil tank, and wanted to try to see if I could extract biodiesel from it to replace oil.

But after explaining this matter to themselves, they didn't pay attention to it anymore, but now it seems that they have achieved certain results.

"To be precise, it is related to the product that is produced after mixing with its antidote. We named the little herb Artemisia sageensis, which belongs to a type of wormwood. Because the color of the flower is purple, it has this name. "Wang Siyuan smiled and said: "According to what His Highness said, we have indeed successfully extracted a special oil from the oil tank, which has excellent combustion properties and should have been a very good substitute for kerosene.

But unfortunately, we found that this oil is also toxic, and the smoke produced after burning is stained on the body, which can also cause skin itching.Later, we tried to add the juice of Artemisia annua to the juice, and we got such a strange thing. "

"Strange stuff? Is there anything weird about this?"

"Because after adding the sap of Artemisia annua, these liquids can no longer cause skin itching, but at the same time, they also lose the corresponding burning effect. That is to say, the blue liquid cannot be burned now."

"That's strange." Li Zhen asked, holding her chin, "Then have you discovered any other functions of it?"

"It is precisely because of the discovery of its function that the subordinates will find it strange." Wang Siyuan's eyes flashed a little weird: "According to the research of the subordinates, although this liquid has lost its burning function, another powerful functions."

Seeing that Wang Siyuan was playing tricks, Li Zhen was a little displeased and said, "Stop talking so much nonsense, tell me quickly, what is the effect?"

"Your Highness, let's see it with your own eyes." Wang Siyuan took down the blue liquid, and took an iron spoon on the test bench.

Open the lid, put the spoon into the liquid, and see the originally calm blue liquid suddenly boil.

'Googling! '

The spoon seemed to be made of wax. After being put into the blue liquid, it melted at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye. In just a dozen breaths, the whole spoon was left with only a handle left outside. The part that entered the liquid disappeared completely.

But at the same time, the originally light blue liquid gradually turned a little green.

"It's so acidic, I'm afraid it can melt even gold and silver?" Li Zhen gasped, it was a terrible strong acid, probably much stronger than aqua regia.Is this the legendary super hydrochloric acid?Impossible, super hydrochloric acid is not a fallacy, is it something that does not exist?

Moreover, what is produced by this kind of acid reduction is not ferrous iron, but ferrous iron. This is really strange. Doesn’t it mean that ferrous iron cannot be stored for a long time?How is this going?

"My subordinates have also tried it, and it can indeed melt away gold, but this is also the strangest part of my subordinates." Wang Siyuan struggled: "It stands to reason that if you mix the oil and the juice of Artemisia japonica, it can create such a powerful If it is acidic, if you applied it on your body at that time, I am afraid that the skin will be burned by the strong acid, and it is impossible to be alive and kicking.

And from another point of view, since Artemisia annua can detoxify the toxicity of oil irrigation, it means that the medicinal properties of the two are completely opposite. When the two meet together, the medicinal properties should be neutralized. How about such a strong acidity? "

Li Zhen waved his hand: "I don't care about the principle, so you can study it slowly. What I want to ask now is whether there is a name for this kind of thing, and whether there are any side effects? Did you research it by accident, or do you have a finished formula? Yes, can this kind of thing be industrialized?"

Wang Siyuan said: "The name of this acid is blue acid, because its color is blue, so it has this name. According to our research, this blue acid is actually a strong biological acid, and we haven't found anything yet. Side effects. As for the production, the production of blue acid is very simple, you only need to filter the occupations of the two plants in the early stage, and then complete the production according to a certain ratio, so mass production is not a problem."

"That would be great, try to establish a production line as soon as possible, and produce blue acid as much as possible. The support from the palace can only be said by this king. As for money and money, people are needed." Li Zhen was elated, In industrial production, three acids and two alkalis also have a non-negligible position, and many processes require these things as additives.

There is no need to worry about the alkali. Li Zhen knows the chemical formula, and it can be extracted from salt and lime. The problem lies in the strong acid. He knows that sulfur dioxide can be dissolved in water to become sulfuric acid, but the purity of such sulfuric acid is too low. As for how to improve the purity , Li Zhen really didn't know.

Therefore, Li Zhen is in urgent need of a strong acid to speed up the industrial production of Datang. Now that he has discovered such a powerful acid, he should not have to worry about strong acid in the future.Of course, the production of three acids and two bases cannot be stopped. After all, various acids have their own usages, and only one plant acid cannot support the industrial foundation of Datang.

Wang Siyuan also understood the importance of this kind of strong acid to Li Zhen, and said with a smile: "Actually, if Your Highness doesn't say anything, this subordinate is also planning to report this matter to His Highness. But since His Highness has said so, then this subordinate will definitely do its best to strive for an early date." Build the production line."

Li Zhen knew the truth of giving a sweet date for a hammer, and immediately promised: "Very well, when the stinky bomb and blue acid are produced, the king will give you a title, so what's the problem?"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Chapter 628 Li Shimin's Birthday

Chapter 93 Li Shimin's Birthday

Time flies like a white horse.

Two months passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, the 28th of the first month came, which is also the day of Li Shimin's birthday. The whole world celebrates it. In order to show his generosity, on this day, the emperor will pardon the world.

Amnesty refers to the meaning of letting go of past guilt, not pursuing past problems, and giving new opportunities to start over.But the amnesty of the world is also limited, and it is not generalized, such as political prisoners who rebelled, deceived the emperor, and resisted the imperial power.In short, the national criminals of the country are not included in the pardon.

In short, after the amnesty of the world, all detainees who have committed minor crimes will be immediately released without charge. Felony or death row prisoners can also go home and reunite with their families for a few days to show the emperor's kindness.

And from a historical point of view, Chinese emperors often amnesty the world at every turn, playing with the law and the palm of their hands.

But they actually come here according to the rules, with clear realistic goals and intentions, and they are not completely fooled (although occasionally they will forgive the world inexplicably, but those are the products of brainstorming, not many) .Judging from the distribution of the emperor's amnesty to the world, generally speaking, when the emperor felt that his rule was not stable, the frequency of amnesty to the world was the most.

For example, in the 12 years of Han Gaozu's reign, he pardoned the world 9 times; in the 15 years of Han Yuandi's reign, he did it 10 times; in the 6 years of Han Ai's reign, he did it 4 times; 5 times.Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty reigned for 4 years, and he did it 22 times; Liu Bian, the elder brother of Han Xiandi, reigned for only half a year, and he did it twice.On the contrary, in the 20 years of Emperor Wen's reign, he only pardoned the world 2 times; in the 23 years of Emperor Jing's reign, he only pardoned the world 4 times.Emperor Han Ming, the son of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, did it three times during his 16-year reign.From these data, it can be seen that the stability coefficient of imperial power is inversely proportional to the frequency of amnesty.

Of course, when there are great joys or great auspiciousness, the emperor will also feel that this is God's recognition of his rule, and he will also pardon the world.

For example, this time, last year's Datang was mixed.The good thing is naturally the foreign war. Datang has completely conquered Nanyang, and continued to march westward. He has already sent troops to the front line of Jiazhou, confronting hundreds of thousands of troops from the Gundam Kingdom, and there have been several fights, although the winner has not yet been determined. , but the previous fights all ended with Datang's complete victory. Datang has already occupied the absolute advantage in strategy. up.

In the north, Datang had already made full preparations for the battle against Goguryeo, and had already tried several forwards. The result was also a complete victory. Now waiting for Li Shimin's arrival, Datang can launch a full-scale attack.

Of course, this is a good thing, but at the same time, there are bad things...

At the very beginning, the king of Yue was assassinated by the Japanese in Dengzhou at the beginning of the year, and then the borders of the Tang Dynasty were full of flames, which almost brought the whole country into a place of doom. Then Yindao was discovered, and the world was in chaos, especially in Lingnan. get up...

Of course, on the whole, even though good and bad things account for half as a whole, there are still more good things on the whole. As for the bad things, most of them are scabies, while the good things are all good things that benefit the country and the people.

Therefore, Li Shimin is of course qualified to amnesty the world, and not only amnesty the world, he has become rich this time, and is planning to hold a decent birthday banquet for himself, instead of simply taking time to gather with his confidant ministers like before. meal, and then dinner with the kids in the evening.

Because this year is a very beautiful year for Datang. There are more than a dozen countries that have been wiped out, showing their faces in the world. All countries are frightened and send envoys to congratulate them.So this time he wants to come to a big one, and take this opportunity to declare to the world the great prestige of Datang.

Today's Chang'an City is extraordinarily lively, with lanterns and festoons everywhere, red and purple stickers, and people smiling happily. The whole Chang'an City is full of something called joy.

Of course the common people were happy, not because their most beloved emperor had a birthday today. Although they were indeed very happy when the emperor celebrated his birthday, what made them even more happy was that the imperial court was sending out rice.

Yes, today is my big day. Since Li Shimin will amnesty the world, he will naturally not forget his people. Let alone other places, just in Chang'an City, the army starts to line up early in the morning. Distributing rice grains to each household—each family has a bucket of polished rice, a catty of meat, and a sling of money, making the subjects of the world happy... Although there are not many things, who doesn’t like things that are free?

During the Zhenguan period, the population of Chang’an City was about 70, that is, 125 households, which added up to only [-] million catties of rice, [-] catties of meat, and [-] coins (a penny of [-] coins, and ten pennies for a coin). For the previous Datang, this was indeed a considerable amount of money, but now Datang is much richer than before, [-] yuan-sprinkle water.

The common people got benefits, and the imperial court did not lose much, and it also united the hearts of the people. In this way, both parties got benefits, which can be described as a win-win situation.

When the people are happy, the court is naturally even happier. The common people have money to send, and they, the courtiers, get more things, and almost everyone returns with a full reward.

The courtiers were happy, and Li Shimin was even happier.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"All the gentlemen are flat."

Wang Tingchu was wearing brand-new clothes, and said in a sharp voice, "My Majesty's birthday, the whole world celebrates it, and the world is blessed... All the ministers present a gift! Congratulations to the Majesty, the longevity will last forever!"

"Shangshu Zuopushe (because many of these people hold several positions at the same time, it is too troublesome to describe them one by one. Here we only introduce the official positions that they are most familiar with, and replace the rest with ellipses)... Liang Guogong Fang Xuanling presents Panlong A pair of mutton fat and white jade cups, congratulations to the holy sage on his birthday and heaven, and his blessings are like the East China Sea..."

"Shangshu Youpushe...Cai Guogong Du Ruhui presents a hundred top-quality South Sea pearls, congratulations on the longevity of the saint, and the evergreen pines and cypresses..."

"Doctor Yushi... Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng presents a pair of thousand-year-old wooden heart top quality Ruyi, congratulations to Shengshang Shanhe on the same birthday, the tortoise and the crane prolong the year..."
