Qin asked

Under the promotion of Ying Zheng, the new currency and weights and measures quickly became the only standard of the country. Maybe the people still follow the old customs to trade and calculate privately, but at least with the officials, everyone can only follow the latest rules.

Every change is inherently accompanied by turmoil and uneasiness. If you are not careful, you may move the foundation of a country. No matter how high-sounding the reason Yingzheng uses, it will not change the fact that it directly involves money interests, especially It belongs to merchants: Once the Qin State stipulated that a tax of "one thousand" should be paid, so some people said they were Indians and paid rupees; some said they were Koreans and paid Korean won; some said they were Japanese, The yen was handed over... As a result, Yingzheng has now unified the exchange rate, which is a huge improvement for a society, but this does not mean that individual businessmen are willing to accept such a result.

Of course Ying Zheng is not afraid of these businessmen. As the saying goes, political power grows from the barrel of a gun. He has the strongest army in the world in his hands. He is not afraid of any ghosts and monsters.But Mo Dou was unavoidably worried about this, fearing that all the local tyrants who had finally relocated would run away, but Ying Zheng would have to go back to history and force them to relocate...

However, Qing reserved the opposite opinion on this, and she did not think that Ying Zheng would need to use that method.

It is also because of benefits: the convenience of information is one of the most important conditions for doing business, especially with such frequent changes in the Qin State, Xianyang is the best base for businessmen, not to mention the existence of Qianjin Pavilion.

Leaving aside the various novelty patents created by capable people in order to get ahead, in the eyes of businessmen, the books on medicine, agriculture and animal husbandry that Qin copied from all over the country are gold mountains that have not been realized!

Some people have even called the act of finding ways to make money in Qianjin Pavilion "gold panning".

How can we keep those whose interests have been violated?In addition to coercive means, that is to give even greater benefits. Before Ying Zheng adopted the former means, Qianjin Pavilion solved this problem for him in advance.

Mo Dou was speechless, he shook his head and said, "I hope so."

Qing didn't have time to deal with the ink fountain, she lowered her head and focused on looking at the pill prescription: "If you don't have anything else, don't bother me."

Just now she spent so much talking with Mo Dou, she already gave Mo Dou a lot of face.

"One more thing," Mo Dou paused, and said, "My lord and I want you to win the next Mo Award."

Probably because the workload was really too much, and the previous co-organization of the Surrender Ceremony and the birthday gave the ceremony official a precedent. The ceremony official still proposed to organize the ceremony of the Mo Award and the founding ceremony together. After tossing himself again and again, he nodded in response.

"I thought it was an umbrella..." Qing frowned, and said in a low voice, "Anyway, I'm a woman."

She has always been a strong person, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have self-knowledge. Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for a woman to come to power in such a case. What this society needs is a woman who is 'family-oriented', 'loyal' and 'tame'. Rather than a 'strong' and 'independent' widow like her.

Calmly reminded: "Besides, I faked my death back then."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of changing the name." Mo Dou affirmed, "You don't need to worry about anything else, the king said, as long as you agree, this workshop will belong to you."

Qing paused, and suddenly seemed to realize something, she suddenly raised her head and asked the other party directly: "You want to make me a target?"

The other party said it nicely, but in the final analysis, the workshop is only under her management, and the ownership is still in Yingzheng's hands, just like a state-owned enterprise.And if she appeared in front of everyone as a widow, a widow who pretended to have nothing after her death, with such an eminent status, one can imagine how many people would be jealous of her, and how many people would be attracted to live in Xianyang.

Qing said decisively: "I refuse, you should find your apprentice."

She is not stupid, she just wants to develop medicine and enjoy life well, other things have nothing to do with her.

Mo Dou was helpless, on the one hand because of Qing's refusal, on the other hand because of his stupid apprentice's stomach ache, why did he just fall in love with such a person...

While thinking this way, Mo Dou carefully took out the glass from his waist. When he unscrewed the cap on it, a pungent, sour and hot smell gushed out, mixed with a murmuring voice, and cleared the glass all at once. He turned his gaze back: "This is sulfuric acid. You can get it by calcining pyrite ore first, collecting sulfur dioxide to react with oxygen, and then absorbing it with water."

Mo Dou spoke easily, but Qing couldn't understand a single word, but she just stared at the piece of sulfuric acid persistently, reluctant to blink.

"Concentrated sulfuric acid is dehydrating." Mo Dou took out another bag of yellow and white crumbs, which are obviously the simplest flour and sawdust, but he kept explaining in the language of later generations, "These are all organic matter, guess what?" Look, what happens when you put it in there?"

Qing pursed his lips and shook his head, Mo Dou smiled, and didn't want to be impatient anymore. He signaled Qing to clean up all the things on the table, and then quickly put the powder into it. A moment later, a black object inexplicably appeared on the table. Under Qing’s horrified and excited eyes, the oily liquid slowly emerged from the mouth of the glass, and then fermented and swelled rapidly—the black bread experiment, a well-known junior high school science experiment.

Qing Zhi stared blankly at the 'black bread' that had gradually stopped growing. Even though it had stopped responding, its existence was already breathtaking enough. Mo Dou waited quietly for Qing to recover, until a scream broke out There was a momentary silence.

"Demon, demon..."

Qing was not the only one who saw the experiment, but the servant who had just started to clean also saw the whole process. At this moment, he looked at Mo Dou in horror, not knowing whether to call him a monster or a monster.

Mo Dou rubbed his head helplessly. This seemed to be the second time that he was regarded as a monster. He ignored the trembling servant who had softened his legs, and turned his head to ask Qing who seemed to have reacted: "I can teach you... "

"I should."

As long as the other party can teach her... no, even if it's just a recipe for sulfuric acid, she can agree to all the conditions!

Qing stared at the objects on the table, she didn't have any fear, only the light flickered in her eyes, through these eyes, people seemed to be able to see the simple and eternal law.Mo Dou probably understood why his silly boy was moved.

……

After solving Qing's problem, Mo Dou felt a lot more relaxed. Although it was a little sorry for the other party to put Qing in that position, once it came to Ying Zheng's position, Mo Dou would sway to Ying Zheng's side for no reason.

Mo Dou was thinking about something, and bumped into Fusu who was also returning from work. The two collided hard, probably because Fusu didn't take a good look at the road...

Mo Dou subconsciously wanted to help him up, but in the end he met Fusu's hand, and the other side supported him and asked with concern: "Uncle Mo, is everything alright?"

Uncle Mo...

I didn't think this name was strange before, but now that I hear it, I feel so old...

The inexplicable vicissitudes of Mo Dou silently removed his hand from Fusu's, coughed dryly, and changed the subject to ease the embarrassment: "I'm fine, but the young master is out of his mind, what's the matter?"

Mo Dou just asked casually, but Fusu really had something to do, he hesitated for a moment, and threw out a rather sensitive one.Sensitive question: "Excuse me, Uncle Mo, what are rights?"
