My life skills in Daming Liver

The little eunuch is the adopted son of Eunuch Hu, and Eunuch Hu is just a small mine supervisor, and he is only a sixth-rank official book in the palace, so it is impossible for him to have as many adopted sons as the elder eunuch.

This young eunuch, surnamed You, worked as a handyman in the dyeing and weaving bureau after entering the palace. He was favored by Eunuch Hu and adopted as his adopted son.

This kind of relationship between the foster father and son is also very old. When the foster father is in full swing, he will shelter and support the foster son, and when the foster father is old, the foster son will support the foster father.

Of course, this is just an ideal state, and the flesh-and-blood father and son are still close, let alone such a righteous father and son.

However, Eunuch Hu is still kind to Xiao Youzi, and Xiao Youzi also worked hard to follow Eunuch Hu to Fujian to supervise the mine. The relationship between the two is indeed as close as father and son.

After seeing Su Ze, the little eunuch said: "Mr. Su, my father said that the dye has been made, please go and have a look!"

dye!

Su Ze suddenly thought of the prescription he threw to Eunuch Hu, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful?

Lin Liangjun pricked up his ears, and when the little eunuch talked about "prescription" and "dye", he immediately became interested and said:

"Brother Aze? What's the fun? I want to go with you too!"

After thinking about it, Su Ze took the little radish head and came to Eunuch Hu's laboratory with the little eunuch.

After talking with Su Ze last time, Eunuch Hu had a lot of new ideas, and a lot of new bottles and jars were added to the laboratory.

These things were all made by Eunuch Hu himself. Su Ze once again lamented the versatility of this Eunuch Hu. He can even make ceramics by himself.

Eunuch Hu was recording something in front of the dyeing pool. After hearing Su Ze's footsteps entering the door, he immediately turned and walked over and said:

"Su Xianggong! It's done!"

Eunuch Hu couldn't wait to pull Su Ze to a pool, pointed to the cloth head in the pool and said:

"This is a fabric that has been washed five times. Look, Su Xianggong, the color is still very good. This is indeed a dye that resists sun and washing!"

Su Ze looked at the blue cloth floating in the water. Of course, this is the most famous chemical dye in human history.

Prussian blue, this dye is famous for being used in the dyeing of Prussian military uniforms. Because of its fast dyeing and bright colors, it is widely loved by the fashion industry.

The color is also widely used in painting and printing, and even has some medicinal uses.

Su Ze didn't expect that Eunuch Hu actually invented the Prussian blue dye because he just thought of the formula casually.

Eunuch Hu was already dancing excitedly, he said excitedly:

"The color won't fade even after being washed five times, and it can still stay bright after drying! How beautiful this robe would be if it were weaved and dyed!"

Eunuch Hu continued: "The miscellaneous family will present the dye to His Majesty!"

Hearing that Eunuch Hu was going to present the Prussian blue dye to Emperor Jiajing, he said quickly:

"Wait!"

Once something is listed as a tribute, it is a huge disaster for a certain place.

For example, the tea farmers in Wuyi Mountain are like this. Once they are listed as tribute, even if the emperor does not need it, they have to pay tribute every year.

Paying tribute will cost manpower and material resources, and will be exploited layer by layer. Su Ze does not want the blue dye of Dogon in Nanping County.

Su Ze said: "The blue shirt is just the color of ordinary people, how can His Majesty use this color?"

Eunuch Hu argued: "This blue is different from the blue dyed by Aizen."

Su Ze still said: "But the palace will only say that you dedicated Lan Ranjin to the palace."

Having said that, Eunuch Hu was discouraged.

He has no backer in the palace, and no one can speak for him. Although the dyed blue cloth is bright, it does not look much different from the coarse cloth dyed by the folk indigo dyeing method at first glance.

Blue is the color of ordinary people, so it is really inappropriate to offer it to the palace.

In fact, there is no shortage of colors among the Chinese people. For example, blue is the color that ordinary people often wear.

In the Ming Dynasty, students were required to wear blue shirts, so blue shirts became the most common color for the lowest-level scholars.

It's just that this kind of blue shirt is not made of chemical dyes, but a plant that is very familiar to modern people - Banlangen.

The blue dyed with isatidis is easy to fade after a few washes. The rich kids like Huang Shixing in the county school will wear bright blue shirts every time.

The children from poor families will wear washed gray blue shirts.

Eunuch Hu was discouraged. If Su Ze hadn't reminded him, it would be inappropriate to give the blue tribute to the emperor.

Seeing that Eunuch Hu dismissed the idea of ​​using Prussian blue dye as a tribute, Su Ze said:

"Although this blue color cannot be tributed to the palace, this dye is still very useful!"

This blue dye, which is not easy to fade, will definitely be loved by poor scholars, and ordinary people will follow suit.

In addition, Su Ze also found that the soldiers of the Changning Guard did not have decent uniforms. Making a comfortable uniform with Prussian blue can also increase the enthusiasm of the ordinary soldiers of the Changning Guard!

yes! uniform!

You must know that a good-looking military uniform is the best recruitment advertisement, and the beautiful military uniforms of various countries in the Renaissance era are also the best benefits to attract ordinary people to join the army!

Now that soldiers are already very attractive to ordinary people in Changningwei, Su Ze suggested that Lin Mojun increase the food treatment of soldiers, two meals a day will become three meals, and on the basis of the staple food, there will be meat at the end of the day can eat.

This also made many ordinary soldiers of Changning Guard think about being able to become full-fledged soldiers.

Of course, Su Ze is dissatisfied with Changning Guard's establishment of one hundred households. Now there are more than 400 mine robbers captured by Changning Guard. These people will be organized into an army in the future. Improving the cohesion of the army can also enhance their sense of honor.

Su Ze said to Eunuch Hu, "Eunuch Hu, I have a batch of fabric in Changningwei, can I trouble you to dye it?"

Eunuch Hu said in a big bag, "Although Su Xianggong will send it, dyeing cloth is a old-fashioned business!"

Su Ze quickly expressed that he wanted to produce raw materials, and Eunuch Hu said grandly: "The materials used for the dyes are all found in the mine. The only thing missing is some cow blood. This is not a rare item."

After entering Eunuch Hu's experiment, Su Ze kept chatting with Eunuch Hu, but he didn't notice Lin Liangjun, the devil incarnation.

After the little radish came in, he looked around and was very interested in Eunuch Hu's bottles and cans.

Seeing the yellow crystals in a porcelain vase, Xiao Luobotou touched it again, and accidentally knocked the vase over to the ground.

Everyone followed the sound and looked over. When Eunuch Hu saw what Lin Liangjun shattered, he immediately changed his face and said:

"Not good! Leave quickly!"

Little Eunuch You immediately dragged Lin Liangjun out, and when everyone left the house, Su Ze gave Little Luobotou a hard lesson, and then apologized to Eunuch Hu.

Eunuch Hu shook his head and said, "It's just a can of medicine, but it's poisonous."

Hearing the word poisonous, the fearless little luotou turned pale.

"Then I won't die?"

Little Luobotou almost fainted from fright, only to see Eunuch Hu staring at him for a long time, nodding and shaking his head.

Little Luobotou only felt pain all over his body, and he fainted with a scream.

Su Ze quickly used "medical skills" to check, and when he saw that Little Carrot's pulse was calm, he knew that he should be fine.

Eunuch Hu showed a sly expression and said: "The miscellaneous family is just trying to scare him. Although the poison is powerful, it won't be poisoned if you touch it."

"My disciple is rude, please forgive me, Eunuch Hu."

Eunuch Hu said: "Children are naughty, don't get in the way."

"I heard that Su Xianggong established a health school in Changningwei?"

Su Ze nodded and said, "It's just for the children in the guard to start reading."

Eunuch Hu pointed to Eunuch You and said, "It's time for my adopted son to study, but Zajia doesn't know how to teach people to read. Can you ask Su Xianggong to let him sit in?"

It turned out that this matter, Su Ze naturally agreed.

He asked again: "Eunuch Hu, what kind of poison is this smashed?"

Eunuch Hu said: "That thing was obtained by miscellaneous families from the essence of yellow flowers, but I didn't expect it to be highly poisonous."

Essence? yellow flower?

Su Ze suddenly came to ask with interest: "Day lily?"

"Yes, it's the daylily. I saw the bright color of this thing, so I wanted to extract the dye, but I didn't expect the essence of the daylily to be poisonous, no less than arsenic."

Su Ze said to Eunuch Hu: "Eunuch, can you demonstrate how you are so refined?"

Eunuch Hu nodded, and after a while of ventilation, he ordered his servants to clean up Lin Liangjun's broken porcelain vase, and demonstrated to Su Ze the process of refining yellow flowers.

The extraction method of Eunuch Hu is not complicated, that is, mash the yellow flower and put it in water, then heat and filter continuously to extract the yellow precipitate.

In fact, most of the plant dyes are such an extraction process.

Su Ze said to Eunuch Hu, "Can you let me try?"

Eunuch Hu gave up his seat, and Su Ze began to extract the essence of yellow flowers according to his demonstration.

Because he was not proficient enough, it took Su Ze half an hour to extract a little yellow crystal.

Sure enough, the system popped up a prompt:

"Extract colchicine, chemical skill +10, Lv1, 17/100."

It really is colchicine!

Yellow flower, also known as day lily, is a kind of edible plant widely grown in our country.

Su Dongpo once wrote "Mo Dao's five-treasure jade, yellow flowers everywhere are golden hairpins", and he described this kind of yellow flowers.

Yellow flowers should not be eaten too much, it is poisonous if eaten too much, and the toxicity is the colchicine in yellow flowers!

This colchicine is a good thing!

The biggest function of colchicine is to induce seed mutation! It is the most important reagent in modern breeding!

The use of colchicine can allow the originally sterile hybrid wheat to give birth to offspring, and then continue to hybridize to screen out better quality and high-yielding offspring.

Rice, wheat, and modern agriculture can produce higher-yielding hybrid varieties, and the role of colchicine is very important!

In fact, the science of breeding appeared in China very early. For example, the seeds planted by Uncle Wei Qi in Changning were specially selected and bred by him, and the yield was 10% higher than that of other families.

However, the hybridized varieties often have no fecundity, and there is no scientific experiment method, and there is no way to directional breed good varieties.

In the future, learn the skills of "agronomy" or "biology" and produce high-yielding grain seeds. That is a more powerful killer than sweet potatoes!

After all, wheat and rice are the staple foods that Chinese people have eaten for thousands of years.

This Eunuch Hu is really a treasure!

Su Ze also looked at his laboratory with bright eyes, as if looking at a treasure house.

Eunuch Hu also has the feeling of a confidant. He used to tinker with these things by himself, only his adopted son Xiao Youzi was his assistant, and Xiao Youzi couldn't understand these things at all.

Now Su Ze is willing to listen, and he introduces his "scientific research results" endlessly.

Su Ze will also do experiments when he meets someone who is interested.

Su Ze came to a porcelain vase, and Eunuch Hu said, "This is the essence extracted from the bark of the purple willow by the miscellaneous family. I wanted to get purple dye, but I got this white thing."

Su Ze suppressed his excitement and said to Eunuch Hu, "Eunuch, can I do it again?"

"It is possible, but the essence of Ziliu will take a long time."

"it's okay no problem!"

The experiment this time was indeed very long. After waiting for a while, Lin Liangjun slowly woke up, and Little Luobotou started holding his stomach and screaming that he was hungry.

Eunuch Hu ordered his servants to bring the food, and Su Ze refined some white powder when it was completely dark.

"Extract salicin, chemical skill +10, Lv1, 27/100."

It really is salicin!

Lin Liangjun leaned over, looked at the white crystal and asked, "Brother Aze, isn't this thing also poisonous?"

Little Luobotou was also psychologically shadowed, and he never dared to touch it again after entering the laboratory.

Su Ze looked at the white powder at the bottom of the porcelain bottle. If the previous Prussian blue dye was considered an A-grade chemical product, then the breeding salicylic acid was an S-grade chemical.

And salicin is an SSS grade chemical!

This thing is also famous in later generations, that is, "aspirin"!

However, the salicin extracted from this plant is not aspirin. This salicin has a stimulating effect on the intestinal tract. Aspirin is acetylated salicylic acid, which cannot be produced with current technology.

But salicin is enough!

This medicine with analgesic and antipyretic functions can be said to be a miracle in the history of human medicine, and it is also the best-selling medicine in history.

The analgesic function alone makes it a milestone drug in modern medicine!

Looking at Eunuch Hu's wrinkled old face, he wished he could go up and hug and kiss him.

I, a time traveler, even forgot about these time travel artifacts!

Su Ze said to Eunuch Hu: "Eunuch, can this white powder be produced in large quantities?"

Eunuch Hu said: "There are many purple willows in the south of the mine, but what is the use of these things?"

Su Ze nodded and said, "This is a good medicine that can treat tens of millions of people!"

"Good medicine? Although this thing is not as poisonous as the essence of yellow flowers, it will cause abdominal pain and vomiting after taking it. Can it cure diseases?"

Only then did Su Ze remember how Eunuch Hu knew so much about the toxicity of drugs. He asked, "Eunuch, how do you know these things are poisonous?"

Eunuch Hu said, "Of course we have to try."

Su Ze's eyes became strange, and Eunuch Hu quickly said, "The Zajia is not a member of the Dongchang Banner. It is impossible to test people for poison. The Zajia's are monkeys."

After talking, Eunuch Hu took Su Ze to the warehouse behind the laboratory, only to see a few monkeys locked in bamboo cages, and some of them were dying.

"The monkeys caught by the miners in the mountains will be sold to me. The poison of the yellow flower essence is tested by them."

"The things that are dyed are all meant to be worn on people's bodies. It's not allowed to be poisonous."

Rigorous, so fucking rigorous!

Su Ze admired Eunuch Hu so much, that such a talent was sent by the emperor to visit the mine?
