I'm really not doing business

Chapter 44

Zhu Yijun brought his officials to his seedling room. At this moment, he stood in the light and made Daming great again, starting from the seedling room.

Zhu Yijun led the officials to a container full of water, which was a device with a somewhat strange shape.

It is only half a foot in size, and at the bottom is a glass bubble the size of an egg. The glass bubble is soaked in water. Above the glass bubble is a glass tube as thick as a finger. Above the glass tube is a cork. The glass tube is about three or four needles thick.

The whole device is filled with water, and the scale is marked on the slender glass tube above the wooden stopper.

"This is a thermometer, which is specially used to measure temperature. I have someone record the temperature of the glass bubble soaked in the ice-water mixture, measure the height of the water surface in the slender glass tube, and record it as 0; soak the glass bubble in boiling water, measure the temperature inside the slender glass tube. The height of the water surface is recorded as 100. Then it is divided into [-] equal parts." Zhu Yijun introduced his first gizmo, measuring temperature.

This device is extremely crude, but it is already the best thermometer Zhu Yijun can make in the first year of Wanli. He cannot record the temperature below zero, because the water below zero will freeze and crack the test tube. This device is enough for the time being. With a high concentration of alcohol, you can replace the water in the glass bubble with alcohol and try to measure the sub-zero temperature.

It's not that Zhu Yijun didn't think of mercury, that is, mercury, which is not lacking in the royal family, but Zhu Yijun has no good way to solve the problem of mercury volatilization. Mercury vapor is not only poisonous, but may also cause harm to rice seedlings.

For the research and development of thermometers, Zhu Yijun will not stop, but will make steady progress step by step.

This inaccurate thermometer records in detail the temperature at which potatoes and sweet potatoes turn green and germinate. This provides a reference for the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes in the north. When promoting the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes in the future, it can also be reasonable. .

The fire room is the nursery room, and there is also a thermometer outside the fire room. The Qingming Festival is approaching, and the potatoes begin to germinate. Returning to budding, only when the temperature rises further to about fifteen degrees, will it thrive.

Zhu Yijun talked eloquently to the officials, introducing the harvest of the glass firehouse seedling room.

Ge Shouli's jaw almost dropped in surprise. He stared blankly for a long time, then said dully, "Your Majesty's whimsy is really ingenious."

Thermal expansion and contraction are actually not uncommon. As early as in the pre-Qin period, Li Bing and his son used thermal expansion and cold contraction to open mountains and crack rocks in water control. Excellent craftsmen have realized the whimsy of the little emperor.

In fact, this is a degree bypass, to be precise, it is mathematical thinking.

The thermometer is just a small design of his, and there are thousands of small glass boxes in the fire room of more than half an acre. Each of these small glass boxes has a seedling, and these seedlings are lush and look alive abundant.

"Bachelor Xu." Zhu Yijun shouted, motioning for Xu Zhenming to introduce these small boxes and what they do.

Xu Zhenming did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would bring the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty to visit. He was not prepared at all. When the Emperor called him, he was still observing the situation of the seedlings. Thinking of it, I have to salute the emperor.

"This is seedling cultivation, pinch the tip, put it on..." After a while of panic, Xu Zhenming got stuck. He was unprepared, so he didn't know how to do a summary.

Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Zhenming's honest and honest face, but he was not angry at all, he could speak eloquently on weekdays, it was useless to let him perform and give him a chance.

Zhu Yijun interrupted Xu Zhenming's words, motioned Xu Zhenming to step aside, and he was the one to answer, he said with a smile: "This is a nursery box, water chestnuts, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops that use tubers to grow, accumulate toxins from generation to generation, causing The yield is lower from generation to generation, how to get rid of the virus?"

"The old farmer who grew water chestnuts told me that you can pinch the tips. If you pinch off the tips to grow seedlings and plant them, the yield will be much higher. For the seedlings on the left, each plant is pinched and sent to the firehouse over there. Take it out after fifteen days of growth."

"The soil in this seedling box is all soil after steam fumigation, which is to prevent poisoning from the pinched out."

Zhu Yijun did not enter the fire room, the temperature inside was around 38 to [-] degrees, this is high temperature passivation, this is Xu Zhenming's idea, in fact it is the finishing process in the green tea production process, in the process of green tea preparation, in order to stop the fermentation of green tea , It will be completed by various methods such as cooking, blanching, drying, etc.

Xu Zhenming thinks it's all poisonous, can the poison be reduced by finishing it?

However, if the temperature is high, the seedlings will die, and if the temperature is low, it is useless. Finally, after repeated experiments and confirmation, the specific range has been determined.

Xu Zhenming succeeded. The new seedlings grown in the seedling box had fuller leaves than the old seedlings outside, and they did not have yellowing, festering and other diseases, which made Xu Zhenming very excited.

Zhu Yijun took a box of seedlings in a nursery box, and picked up another box. This box was a box of seedlings that had not been inactivated by high temperature. He lifted it up and put it on the table. The little emperor smiled. "There's a huge difference," he said.

The courtiers circled around the two seedling boxes, pointing and discussing, the little emperor's marriage to Nongsang has produced so many fruits, judging from this posture, he really intends to plant them, not just putting them on display.

The courtiers thought that the Baoqi Hall of the Ming emperor was just a symbol of the emperor's emphasis on agriculture and mulberry. Even when it was harvested, there was not much harvest. Wouldn't the eunuchs who were in charge of rituals buy it?Plant the potatoes and sweet potatoes you bought in the ground, and when they are harvested, shout auspiciously?
In Song Renzong's Baoqi Hall, Qi is divided into two, that is, two ears of wheat are planted on one wheat, which is regarded as auspicious.

During Song Renzong’s reign, in order to please the emperor, those eunuchs collected double-headed ears of wheat from the people and secretly planted them in the field in front of Song Renzong’s Baoqi Hall at night. Everyone put up a congratulatory table to praise, God bless the Song Dynasty.

The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty all rolled up to the position of Duke Ming step by step. Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox. Of course, this trick can be seen through.

Therefore, in the eyes of most courtiers, the matter of marrying Nongsang is just a copy of Song Renzong [Qi Mai Xiangrui].

It's all about fooling the emperor. If the ministers fooled the emperor, wouldn't the eunuchs fool them?
To the surprise of the courtiers, the emperor of Ming Dynasty did not use this kind of tricks, but actually practiced it himself!And the two boxes in front of me are placed in the sun, and the difference between the seedlings can be seen at a glance, which is the result of hard work.

Zhang Juzheng and Xu Zhenming were talking at the side, mostly Xu Zhenming was talking and Zhang Ju was listening.

Xu Zhenming mainly talked about what the little emperor did. Ninety-nine percent of the heavy work was tiring. Before the little emperor came to Baoqi Hall, Xu Zhenming arranged for people to finish it. There was only a little work. After the little emperor practiced martial arts , will be specially reserved for the little emperor.

Not dangerous, not dirty or tiring, and extremely engaging.

"Does Your Majesty come here every day?" Zhang Juzheng asked a very strange question.

Xu Zhenming didn't know why Yuanfu asked such a question, but he said quite accurately: "It rained the day before yesterday, and His Majesty came here too. Your Majesty comes every day."

Zhang Juzheng raised his hands, clenched his fists, and looked at the back of the little emperor. The little emperor was not fooling around, nor did he plan to give up halfway. Hongyi, with the world in mind and perseverance, is a wise king, a virtuous master, and a warrior.

For the first time Zhang Juzheng had the feeling that Daming's resurgence is not a mirror image, this feeling is extremely certain and real.

"You did a good job. This is the badge of the Quanchu Guild Hall. Take it and don't lose it, and don't lend it to others. In the future, if you have something to do, come to the Quanchu Guild Hall to find me." Zhang Juzheng took a piece from his waist without any trace. The waist badge was handed to Xu Zhenming.

"Xie Yuanfu appreciates it!" Xu Zhenming was extremely astonished. When he paid his respects to Zhang Ju's main gate, it was not enough for money, he also had to have ability, and it was not enough to have ability, there had to be a relationship.

To this day, Xu Zhenming doesn't know why he was recommended by Zhang Juzheng to be a bachelor's student by the emperor's side, and now he even worships under Zhang Juzheng's school.

Zhang Juzheng said softly: "Bing Jing, Tan Jing, you don't have to think of a way, you don't have that way, just work hard by His Majesty's side, plant the land well, absolutely don't let anyone destroy His Majesty's farming and mulberry business, Whether it's eunuchs, Tiqi, Xunwei, sword bearers or old peasants, it is absolutely not allowed."

Zhang Juzheng knows that some people don’t want to see the emperor’s land farming to achieve great results. If they play the trick of [Qi Mai Xiangrui], no one will stop them. Get in the way.

Because there are really results, it will consolidate the foundation of imperial power.

Xu Zhenming is actually not good at gaining money, let alone taking money and breaking the law. He pays 2000 taels of filial piety twice a year. Xu Zhenming, a Jinshi with a bamboo bookcase on his back, where can he find 2000 taels of filial piety a year?

Zhang Juzheng exempts him from filial piety, as long as he does what he is best at, farming, and takes good care of the ten mu of land.

Planting potatoes and sweet potatoes well can really yield more than a thousand catties per mu, and it can also increase the vitality of the weak state of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Juzheng and Xu Zhenming, but he didn't say anything to stop them, let alone interrupt them. If Xu Zhenming wanted to do something, he had to ask for someone's name. Zhang Juzheng was willing to accept it. This was Xu Zhenming's opportunity.

When you come out to hang out, you have to talk about strength, and you have to talk about influence. For at least ten years, Zhang Juzheng has been the biggest backer of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yijun pointed to the roots in the seedling box and said: "There are a lot of details in this seedling. After the tubers germinate, a potato or sweet potato is cut into two or three parts, then dipped in some plant ash, and left to dry for a quarter of an hour before being put into the seedling box." Here, this step cannot be skipped, if the plant ash is saved, the seedlings will easily get sick."

"When we first cut into pieces, we were inexperienced. As a result, more than 100 plants were cut, and more than 200 seedlings came out, and more than 100 plants died."

"Fortunately, I found the right way."

"Mr. Yuanfu taught me that there is no certainty in doing things, only doing half of everything, shrinking when encountering difficulties, will lose the courage to face difficulties, and become timid. This is lack of perseverance. Once a person is timid, nothing will be accomplished. "

Yang Bo remained silent until His Majesty showed some of his achievements a little complacently, and said quite sincerely: "Knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge! Knowing is true and honest, it is action; action is clear. Consciousness and discernment. That is knowledge. Your Majesty's knowledge and action are one, I congratulate you for Daming, and I congratulate you for Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yijun was taken aback for a moment, and asked seriously, "What do you mean?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Juzheng next to him. The feast was Zhang Juzheng's exclusive business. At this time, His Majesty asked Yang Bo, the leader of the Jin Party, but judging from Zhang Juzheng's posture, it seemed that he did not intend to stop him.

Zhang Juzheng's expression was extremely peaceful.
