The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 47

With the experience of the first time, the process of making nitroglycerin for the second time was quite smooth, and the few people did not dare to waste any time, and all were cautious.

I picked a little and put it in the alcohol, and let the nitroglycerin dissolve in the alcohol to dilute part of the power, which is easy to carry and used as a special medicine to treat heartache and chest pain.

The so-called chest pain, in fact, almost refers to the current coronary heart disease and angina pectoris.For such a person, the chest yang is weak, so the body fluid does not dissolve and gathers into turbid phlegm.Phlegm stagnates inside, causing chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Phlegm obstructs the airway, so cough and phlegm.White and greasy tongue coating, deep stringy or tight pulse, all these are signs of phlegm turbidity.Heart and chest qi is weak, and yang qi cannot be released, so if it is blocked, it will cause pain, and the pain will be deep in the heart and back.

The chest yang is weak, and the yin-cold qi is reversed upwards, so patients tend to feel the qi rushing upwards from the flanks.

Nitroglycerin tablets, the drug is mainly used for the treatment and prevention of angina pectoris and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.

Quick results are not bad for emergencies. The treatment is recorded in Zhang Zhongjing's "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" and some medical books, and a method can be found.

I made some simplified versions of nitroglycerin and sent them to Huimin Pharmacy to test the effect.

Looking at the employees of the glass factory, Zheng Xiong was thoughtful.

"What are you still looking at here, do you have nothing to do?"

Yesterday's scene was unforgettable, and the idle crowd continued to watch the excitement.

Hearing Zheng Xiong's words, he quickly saluted and went to work.

Zheng Xiong was having a bit of a headache at this time, but the soap and glass were fine. The people in the glass factory knew the ratio, and if it was leaked, it would be leaked. It was just a tool to make money, and at most it would not have such a high profit.

Zheng Xiong didn't hide from others either, there were quite a few people involved in all the steps, if he couldn't stand the temptation or others gave too much, it would be a matter of time before it leaked out.Zheng Xiong also just hastily signed a confidential document with them, and it is obviously unrealistic to expect them to behave.

There is no other good way but to look at their conduct.

This nitroglycerin is not enough. The wisdom of the ancestors is unimaginable. There is no shortage of smart people with scientific research spirit. If the formula is leaked, those ambitious people will definitely study it, and cause social turmoil.

When it comes to this, it is necessary to mention Nobel. There are 355 inventions in Nobel's life. These inventions have brought him a huge fortune, and the most important invention is dynamite.

When Nobel's brother Ludwig died in 1888, a French newspaper mistakenly published Nobel's obituary.Nobel did not know his public image until he read the obituary.

When the newspaper denounced Nobel for his invention of dynamite, it dubbed him the "arms dealer"; the obituary read, "Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by inventing ways to kill more people more quickly, died yesterday."

There may not be so many ideas about any thing at the beginning of its invention, it is just a tool.But when the people who use it are different, the consequences are very serious. If you use it rightly, you will be right, and if you use it evilly, you will be evil.

It's like the same knife, I use it to cut vegetables, but you use it to cut people.

Although things have happened now, there is still room for redemption, and they may not dare to sell these formulas.

What Zheng Xiong is struggling with is whether to tell Lao Zhu about this matter. Lao Zhu treats the common people really well, but he has no patience with other people.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always missed Fengyang very much, and often decreed tax exemption. In the 16th year of Hongwu, he finally decreed: Fengyang Mansion will be exempted from tax and labor forever ([-] years in the early years of Hongwu).

The Fengyang capital plan began in the second year of Hongwu. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered rich people from Jiangnan and Shanxi to mobilize local economic development.Build imperial mausoleums, make large-scale construction projects, and mobilize craftsmen from all over the country to build large-scale projects such as imperial mausoleums and palaces.But the problem is that these immigrants have no wages or rewards, and they are tired of work and put into various town objects.

When the construction of the project was completed in the eighth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang even prepared to officially move the capital from the temporary capital to Fengyang, and issued an edict for this.

In "Zhongdu's Memorial to the Heaven and Earth", he said: Since the Central Plains were pacified at the beginning of Hongwu, the ministers rushed to Bianliang, with the intention of establishing the capital to secure the world.And until then, the people's livelihood was dying, and the water and land transportation was difficult, and they were afraid of exhausting the people, so they discussed with the ministers, and everyone said that the ancient Zhonglike, so the name of the county was changed to Fengyang, and the capital was established here.

At this time, Li Shanchang reported suddenly: I heard that the construction workers were very dissatisfied with the hard work and too much responsibility (no money).Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry when he heard this, and quickly sent people to investigate, and sure enough, many town objects were found.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious about this and wanted to kill all the workers who participated in the construction of the Zhongdu project.At this moment, Xue Xiang (he was Yu Tonghai and Liao Yongan's subordinate, so he belonged to the anti-Yuan armed forces at sea) said that blacksmiths and masons would not participate in this matter, so thousands of blacksmiths and masons were killed.

Unfortunately, the carpenter is no longer alive.Carpenters should be the majority, there are always thousands of people.

Zheng Xiong had to make a good plan, if he just reported to Lao Zhu straightforwardly, the thing was made, and these people might reveal the secret, then absolutely no one would survive.

To put it another way, please credit them, and let me talk about this incident by the way, there is a high probability that they can be saved.

The weather was getting late, Zheng Xiong handed over the materials for the court meeting, and then got off work. Before leaving, he specially asked them to ask for credit for them and give them a vaccination.

The shivering early morning is very painful, there are always some people who go up to court every day and show their faces in front of Lao Zhu.

"Zheng Xiong, I haven't seen you for a while, and I didn't go to court in the morning. Let me tell you what you are up to. I heard that you even set up a specialty store. You are so short of money."

Zheng Xiong was taken aback. He didn't know which wicked person brought this matter to Lao Zhu. He wouldn't kill himself. After all, he was still a typical person. Anyway, he just admitted his mistake, and it wasn't ashamed.

"Your Majesty, I'm guilty of the crime, but I've been really busy recently, and now that I have succeeded, please give me your advice."

"What's going on, tell me carefully."

"The pharmacy recently cured a patient with an intestinal abscess, and the glass factory produced glass and soap with a hint of mottled color, which sold well. However, through the efforts of the glass factory employees, we produced a powerful gunpowder, which can blow up a big hole with just a little bit. I dare to ask for credit for them. I hope your majesty will tell you how to deal with this thing, and it will be a troublesome thing if it spreads."

Old Zhu snorted coldly.

"I already know that if you don't come to today's court meeting, I will have to invite you. If you don't report it early, you almost ask me to come to you for such a big event. You are really brave."

Lao Zhu was angry, waiting online, very urgent.

"This humble minister deserves death, and please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Because the gunpowder you made is meritorious, I will forgive you this time. The people in the glass factory have been interrogated except you, and there is no problem for the time being. Since you asked for credit for them, they will not die. But the gunpowder you made has to be handed over, and I can't make it for you. Moreover, I plan to transfer a battalion of guards to the glass factory. They will all die here in the future, and the sons will inherit the father's business. Wouldn't it be nice to have a neat family?"

"By the way, I heard that your glass factory is very profitable, so you will be responsible for the money and food of the battalion of guards."
