Three Kingdoms: Starting War Strategy System

Within the carriage.

Liu Chen looked at the dirt on his hands, and his face was a little moved.

"It looks like soap is going to be made."

In the decontamination detergents of the Han Dynasty, plant ash was commonly used.

If it was clothes washing, plant ash water and shell ash would be used to form a strong alkali through the reaction - potassium hydroxide. It can not only remove contamination but also increase gloss..

There are also detergents such as trona and soap locust.

As for soap’s predecessors, bath beans and pancreas, they are made from pig pancreas and plant ash. Due to the expensive production process, they are generally only used by the court nobles.

Of course, they did not appear in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It would only appear later in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. As for who the inventor was, Liu Chen forgot. The soap Liu Chen wanted to make was to use animal fat + plant ash or hydrated lime to make lye, and then obtain soap and glycerin through a saponification reaction.

Glycerin After the nitration reaction, it can also be turned into nitroglycerin. In this way, both soap and gunpowder can be solved.

Of course.

Extracting glycerin requires further chemical reactions, which is too difficult.

Moreover, nitroglycerin gunpowder is too sensitive and difficult to make. Nobel Prize winner They were almost killed.

But if diatomaceous earth is added, yellow explosives can be invented.

These synthesis are more complex and difficult. Before industrialization, Liu Chen would not consider these.

Instead, he would consider simpler black powder. Monosulfur, dinitrate, and charcoal are all commonly used materials nowadays.

Liu Chen's mind was racing, and he took out a pen and paper from the cabinet in the carriage, preparing to write down the steps of the"salt making method".

Soap, gunpowder, etc. , it is secondary for the time being. Now we need to solve the salt problem first.

Otherwise, people like Ju Shou, Tian Feng and Guo Jia will probably have trouble sleeping and eating. The people of Changshan will also panic.

But with the bumping of the carriage, , the pen and ink were sloppy, and the words Liu Chen wrote were also crooked, which made him frown.

His calligraphy was practiced later, and now it was even worse in the shaking carriage.

"Soft pens are still not as adaptable as hard pens. It seems that I have to find time to make pens and pencils."

As for the ballpoint pen, Liu Chen didn't even dare to think about it. Even in later generations, the ballpoint of the ballpoint pen was an extremely difficult craft.

Click, click, click— while Liu Chen was daydreaming and writing, the sound of intensive horse hooves came from outside the carriage..Then

Zhao Yun’s voice came over:"Lord!"

"Zilong, what happened? Liu Chen asked doubtfully. Zhao Yun is now the number one person in the army and is very busy.

"Yun received a message from the magistrates of Ju County and Tianzhong Magistrate, and now he is here to guard his lord's surroundings and protect the salt-making method."Zhao Yun replied respectfully.

This made Liu Chen dumbfounded!

Isn't it just a"salt-making method"? Why do you mobilize so many troops?!

Listening to the voices outside, the number of cavalry is as high as four or five thousand!

It's not the fault of Jushou and Tianfeng. , and Zhao Yun is so prepared!

Salt itself was difficult to make and troublesome to transport in ancient times, but it was necessary for life.

Now that Liu Chen actually has a salt-making method, such a shocking mystery must not be spread privately.

And if the salt-making method is As Liu Chen said, you can develop fine salt by paying more attention to impurities, and the production process and price are not expensive.

When the time comes, they can also produce salt and sell it in Changshan, which will be a steady stream of financial income!

"Well, since you've come and settled in peace, then come with me to the mine to have a look"

"yes."

The group of people set off towards the mine again. After Liu Chen finished writing the"salt making method", he also wrote down the"soap" making process.

By then, they can all be made with hydrated lime, killing two birds with one stone!

…… at the same time.

This side of Wuji County, Zhongshan, Jizhou.

There is a quarrel going on in the Zhen family that spreads throughout the clan. The reason for the quarrel was pressure from the Yuan family.

There was a gap between the Yuan family and Changshan King Liu Chen, and they put pressure on Changshan through personal connections, not only controlling Changshan's material delivery.

In addition, it is strictly prohibited for the Zhen family and others to trade goods related to Changshan.

As the fourth generation and third prince, the Yuan family of Runan, who is the most powerful person in the world, does have this qualification and strength, so the Zhen family has to treat it with caution!

"The Yuan family has four generations and three nobles, and our Zhen family cannot compete with them!"

"Now, two of the three princes in the dynasty, Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei, are not something we can fight against!"

"I still suggest giving up this transaction to avoid offending King Changshan. We can repay him with double the money!"

The people of the Zhen family chose to obey the Yuan family and give up the deal with Liu Chen, the king of Changshan.

In order to avoid Liu Chen being angry, they would rather repay it with double money. To avoid the fight between the Yuan family and the immortal king of Changshan, the Zhen family suffered!

However.

Today, Madam Zhang, the mistress of the Zhen family and Zhen Mi's mother-in-law, is defying all opinions and insisting on completing this transaction with King Changshan.

In response to everyone's doubts, Zhang responds with emotion and reason. said:

"Changshan is connected to our Zhongshan. If we give up this close neighbor and choose the Yuan family in Runan, Yuzhou, which is further away, isn't this not looking for the distance at the expense of the near?

"Moreover, King Changshan has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If we offend him, how will the Yuan family forgive us?

"But if the Yuan family blames us, King Changshan's army of one hundred thousand will not let him make any progress.

"You only focus on the present, focusing on the short-term trend, but do not know how to think about long-term development, and you will suffer the consequences!"

Everyone in the Zhen family fell into silence!

That's right!

Changshan is right next to their Zhongshan, and Runan in Yuzhou is very far away from them. There is Yanzhou in the middle.

If the thunderous wrath of King Changshan breaks out, the Yuan family in Runan will take it. What can they do to help the Zhen family?

"I'm waiting to wake up! Everyone sighed and said,"

I hope King Changshan will not let us down!""

Since they chose to trade with Changshan King Liu Chen, they have offended the Yuan family. Naturally, they hope that Liu Chen will develop better and better.

After everyone left, Mrs. Zhang dragged her exhausted body back to the inner room

"Mother."

A little Lolita who was only five or six years old appeared behind her and gently tapped Mrs. Zhang's back with her small hands.

This made Mrs. Zhang feel very pleased:"Mi'er is here?"

"Mother, is the Changshan King that my uncles just mentioned the same eldest brother who saved me from the bandits?"

"Haha, that's him."Zhang said softly.

Liu Chen came to Zhongshan more than two years ago. He came along to clean up the Yellow Turban Army and rescued Zhen Mi once.

For Zhen Mi, who seemed precocious because of his father's early death, this was a huge blow. She was greatly shocked and couldn't forget about Liu Chen.

After receiving the confirmation, Zhen Mi happily asked Zhang about Liu Chen's deeds.

Zhang was very busy during this period, and Zhen Mi couldn't bear to disturb her. Now she finally has the opportunity..
