Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 25 Science and technology are primary productive forces

Forbidden City.

Inside the Hall of Fong Xian.

Liu Bowen was summoned, a little embarrassed.

Just because of Zhu Yuanzhang's order, it was quite urgent.

As soon as Liu Bowen came over, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's dignified face.

Something happened again!

Liu Bowen's heart skipped a beat. As Zhu Yuanzhang's greatest advisor to conquer the world, he knew very well what Zhu Yuanzhang's expressions meant.

Something happened, and it was a big deal!
Could it be the prince?
Did Su Jing do anything to the prince?

Liu Bowen was guessing in his heart, but on the surface he kept calm all the time.

"Berwin, come here and look at this."

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, but didn't mention anything.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Liu Bowen looked up, came to Zhu Yuanzhang's desk, and saw a copied copy.

He bowed slightly and began to study carefully.

At first, he was just a little weird.

Because I didn't understand much, some of the messy terms were all Liu Bowen heard for the first time.

But as he looked deeper and deeper, Liu Bowen's frown gradually relaxed.

When he understood the concept of nouns and combined with the whole context, Liu Bowen couldn't help nodding his head again and again.

Makes sense!
There was even joy on his face, just because he saw scenery that he had never seen before.

but.

As Liu Bowen continued to read, sweat appeared on his forehead.

Beads of sweat kept dripping, and Liu Bowen didn't even have time to wipe it off, his heart was so shocked intuitively.

"How about it, Bowen, have you finished watching?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have finished reading."

While speaking, Liu Bowen raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but the shock in his heart could not be calmed down.

Just because the last sentence is too amazing.

"Now that you've finished reading it, let's talk about it."

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was flat, and it didn't seem to be an important matter.

Liu Bowen knew that such Zhu Yuanzhang was the most terrifying Zhu Yuanzhang.

He can't say the wrong thing!

After briefly sorting out his thoughts, Liu Bowen replied: "I think there is some truth, but it may not be completely correct."

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask: "Where is the truth? What is wrong?"

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

Sweat dripped from the top of Liu Bowen's head again, and he replied: "I think it is correct to say that the economic base determines the superstructure in the past."

"The transformation from Xia, Shang and Zhou to Qin perfectly confirms this sentence."

"However, there are certain flaws in the future."

"The emergence of new productivity tools will inevitably bring about changes in society, which will lead to the improvement of the economic base and then affect the superstructure."

"That doesn't seem wrong at first glance, but there is one big problem."

"From Zhou to Qin, after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was Qin who wiped out the six kingdoms with strong soldiers and sharp arrows, and only after he established his dominant position did he have private ownership of land."

"Now our Ming Dynasty has a strong army and horses, and it is the time of prosperity. If we can grasp the new productivity tools when they appear, the world will still belong to my Ming Dynasty!"

If you say that Liu Bowen can still speak.

He knows exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang likes to hear.

In this answer, it can't be said that there is no leak, but at least it makes Zhu Yuanzhang feel less uncomfortable.

The past is a foregone conclusion, and from the perspective of latecomers, it must be correct.

Because there are results first, and then conclusions.

And the future has not yet happened, at least from the current perspective, everything is variable.

Unfortunately.

This future matter is only for Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen.

For Su Jing, that is a thing of the past.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen didn't know.

Listening to Liu Bowen's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and said, "Then, Bowen, how do you think Daming can master new productivity tools?"

For the sake of the future generations of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best.

Liu Bowen was stunned, but his reaction was quick, and he said immediately:
"I have little talent and little knowledge, maybe Your Majesty can ask Su Jing for advice."

In fact, after reading this earth-shattering text, Liu Bowen already guessed that he was inseparable from Su Jing.

Only Su Jing has the guts to say that Ming is about to perish.

Although Liu Bowen raised doubts, it was only an answer to Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry.

"Is Su Jing the only one?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little annoyed and said: "There are countless capable people under my command, and none of them can compare with Su Jing?"

Liu Bowen remained silent and did not answer this question.

Because he knew that this was Zhu Yuanzhang's angry words.

If someone could match him, Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't be so angry.

Lishui County.

Zhu Biao returned to his happy look.

Zhu Yuanzhang's words enlightened him, and now he just wanted to find an opportunity to ask Su Jing for advice.

"Niu Yi, continue to increase your firepower."

In the distilling room, Su Jing is carefully observing the process of alcohol distillation.

Zhu Biao is his best assistant.

"Okay, Master Su."

Niu Yi immediately accelerated the speed of pushing the blower box, a large amount of air entered the stove, and the flame immediately became fierce.

The wine is continuously boiling in the pot, and then forms water vapor and rises up.

The water vapor hits the cold iron pot lid above, undergoes a liquefaction reaction, condenses into water droplets and falls along the groove to the next pot.

Then repeat the same process until the final container.

"Okay, another bottle is ready!"

Su Jing looked very happily at the small bottle of high alcohol in front of her, quite excited.

"Niu Yi, do you know why I have to put several pots?"

The excited Su Jing also took the initiative to ask Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao looked at the three pots in front of him, shook his head and said, "Students don't know."

Although distillation is an ancient wine-making method, the ancients only knew that it could be done, but they didn't understand the principle of doing so.

Zhu Biao has never learned these things on weekdays.

Su Jing smiled and said: "It's actually very simple, because wine and water require different temperatures to boil."

"The three pots in front of you are connected to the stove one by one. As the firepower gets weaker, the heat they can provide also decreases. The two pots in front are for purifying the wine."

"As for the last pot, the temperature is not high enough for the water to boil, only the wine will rise."

In fact, it is very simple in physics that the boiling points of different liquids are different.

For Su Jing, it was just common sense.

But for Zhu Biao, it was quite novel knowledge.

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "The students are taught."

Time passed quickly, and Su Jing made more than a dozen bottles before stopping.

At this time, Zhu Biao was already profusely sweating.

"Niu Yi, let's go, I'll take you to take a bath."

With a wave of his hand, Su Jing took Zhu Biao directly to the bathhouse.

Because Su Jing is the boss, so now there are only two people in the bathing pool of him and Zhu Biao. This is Su Jing's private pool.

The whole body was submerged in the pool, and Su Jing's face was full of enjoyment.

Zhu Biao was a little cautious, after all, he was honest with his teacher.

"Master Su, I want to ask for advice."

Zhu Biao thought for a while, and said.

Su Jing closed her eyes and said calmly: "Let's talk, anyway, it's a bath, just order whatever you want."

Zhu Biao paused for a moment and asked, "Master Su, before you mentioned a new production tool to improve productivity, what exactly should it be?"

Su Jing replied without thinking: "Science and technology are the primary productive forces."
