"Playing Song"/Chunxi Di Xiao

Chapter 80

Wang Yun said it was a small plan, but Sima Guang was a little unbelievable. This guy looked pure and harmless, but in fact he had many tricks in his mind. He looked at Wang Yun and asked Wang Yun to continue talking.

Wang Yun spread out his achievements in writing and painting in Liu Yong and explained his small plan to Sima Guang: There are some magical tools here that can be used for distillation and extraction, which means that you need to think carefully and improve. The so-called distillation and extraction are to extract a little bit of essence hidden in the original liquid, such as a drop of essential oil that can be extracted from a twenty kilogram of petals!

What is essential oil? It is fragrant and can relieve stress and regulate mood. Girls like it the most!

It doesn’t matter if you don’t like essential oils, you can also purify alcohol! The current alcohol content is almost less than 18%, and most of them are mixed with water and less than 5%.

By using distillation, you can accurately extract this five percent to obtain high-purity alcohol! This alcohol has many uses, such as it can be used for disinfection, and it is a very good solvent.

Sima Guang frowned and looked at the tools Wang Yun drew, feeling that it was not reliable. He asked, "Are you planning to promote these methods?" After thinking about it, Sima Guang shook his head, "It's not appropriate, how much rice and grain will be consumed?"

Wine is a prohibited commodity, which means it is prohibited from private buying and selling by the people. It is necessary to attract wine to make wine. The reason here is that tea, wine and salt are huge profits, and the court is reluctant to let it go; the other is that the grain output is low and people cannot be guided to make large-scale wine for money.

Wang Rong naturally knew the reasons, so he immediately opened the second page and showed Sima Guang his next plan: "No, it was not promoted among the people of our Song Dynasty. Once we figured out the tools that could be produced on a large scale, we could 'accidentally' pass on the secret methods of production to Jiaozhi and Xixia places, and then sell the tools to them so that their people could learn these methods of production."

He also chose the way, and asked Fang Hong to help select some merchants who had different intentions at first sight or directly choose "foreign businessmen" and quietly teach these methods.

Wang Rong said: "The climate in Jiaozhi is good, and it is as warm as spring all year round, which is very suitable for flower growth. I plan to teach them another secret method so that they can plant flowers in winter to make essential oils." Wang Rong looked sighing and melancholy, "Oh, the only disadvantage is that their place is too small, and it may be impossible to supply our vast demand market by all the efforts of the whole country. Let's look back at whether there is any interest in Dali."

His method was mainly aimed at Jiaozhi, because at the Battle of Guangnan, Jiaozhi wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy Guangnan, the Song Dynasty, and he also had a whimful idea to ask the court to allocate military rations and weapons to him, which was so beautiful!

As for the secret method of distilling liquor, Wang Rong thought Tubo and Xixia were very good. They lived in such cold places and needed strong liquor to survive the cold winter. As for the Liao Kingdom, they had no place to farm, so they would not learn it for them to let them know that there was such strong liquor in Xixia. They would definitely be happy to beat the Dangxiang people and then ask the Dangxiang people to offer them a gift!

When Wang Rong talked about this, he was a little angry. During the Zhenzong period, the imperial court fought with the Liao Kingdom and won the battle. Emperor Zhenzong actually decided to join the Liao Kingdom in the Enyuan alliance.

The main content of the Chanyuan Alliance is that I won and am in a good mood. I will give you a large amount of New Year’s money every year!

This thing is called "annual monies".

Xixia was beaten to surrender a few years ago, and the court also expressed this: You are willing to be my younger brother. I am in a good mood and I will give you a large sum of New Year’s money every year!

This annual monies sound nice, but in fact they are giving money to the Liao Kingdom and Xixia, so that they will not harass the border of the Song Dynasty again.

The Song Dynasty court always had civil servants in charge, and what civil servants hated the most was war. First, it cost money to fight; second, it was unsafe to fight; third, it would give military officers the opportunity to accumulate military merits.

Look, after a few times when Xixia came to fight, Nong Zhigao was in trouble in Guangnan. Wouldn't it be that Di Qing, a low-born criminal general, entered the position of Privy Councilor? Every time when I was in court, I saw Di Qing standing in front like a Dinghai magic needle, many people's hearts were poked and hurt.

Wang Rong told Sima Guang all his plans in this way.

After hearing Wang Rong's complete "small plan", Sima Guang was a little speechless. He sat down and rubbed his eyebrows and asked Wang Rong: "Have you talked about this with your father and Mr. Fan?"

"Not yet!" Wang Rong showed merit to Sima Guang, "I just thought about it today and can't wait to tell you!"

Sima Guang looked at Wang Yun and felt that the boy had been calm all day long. He deducted the "small plan" written by Wang Yun, waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow I will ask your father to discuss and discuss it." This idea seemed imaginative, but Sima Guang thought of Fang Hong's dazzling publicity methods before, and felt that such a joke could be realized.

Wang Rong's fox tail was revealed: "It's useless to discuss, the tools are not ready yet!" He took the opportunity to ask Sima Guanghang Sima Yan to go to the "laboratory" for research. The reason was very high-sounding: Sister Ayan is smarter and knows better about these essential oils, wine making, etc. He is a rough boy and doesn't know anything!

Sima Guang glanced at Wang Yun's white and clean face, and didn't see how he looked like a "rough boy". It turned out that this boy had just taken such a big circle and pulled in the Western Xia and Dali Tubo in order to convince him to allow Sima Yan to play with him.

Sima Guang said angrily: "Okay, you guys go play together." Of course, he sent Wang Rong away, and after returning to the room, he asked Zhang Shier to follow her and not to serve her. He chose two trustworthy maids to follow her side, and he must not let them get along alone.

Despite the restrictions, Wang Rong still took Sima Yan to the laboratory as he wished. Zhang was better than Sima Guang and was willing to give them some room for speaking. Wang Rong pulled Sima Yan and whispered, telling Sima Yan about the little plan he told Sima Guang.

Sima Yan was curious about how Wang Yun convinced Sima Guang. After hearing Wang Yun say this, he immediately understood why her father looked complicated when he looked at Wang Yun. Apart from Wang Yun's mind, who else could have such a fantastic plan to find friends to play with?

The most amazing thing is that Sima Yan found that they seemed to be able to figure out such techniques and tools.

Sima Yan said: "Then let's try it today?"

Wang Rong nodded. They had no direction yesterday, and today they should be much easier to have direction. But he was not in a hurry and made trouble slowly.

Wang Yun quietly said to Sima Yan: "The housing prices here in Xucheng are low. In fact, Manager Hu bought the house next door and renovated it. Just ask the people there to do anything we can't do." In fact, what he meant was that he asked others to do dirty and tiring work, and they were still children!

Sima Yan had no objection. They could explore the preliminary experiments by themselves. If they wanted to repeat verification and expand the scale, it was impossible to rely on them alone. She turned to look at Wang Yun and suddenly thought that Wang Yun had asked someone to run a primary school to teach some children in the "Worry-free Cave" and orphans in nursing homes to learn to read and calculate.

These children either have no relatives or all their relatives are under Fang Hong's hands, which can be said to be 100% reliable. A few years later, these middle-aged children are all fifteen or sixteen years old. In this era, they can be regarded as "adults" who have reached the age of starting a family and starting a career.

Sima Yan looked at Wang Yun: "The plan you and my father really came up with a temporary idea?"

Wang Yun blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Guess."

Sima Yan doesn't want to guess.

In her previous life, Wang Rong gave her an elusive feeling. He was not old among her peers, nor had a deep qualification, nor had an amazing background. However, he had a wide connection. Even if one leg was ruined by accident, many important projects would not be missing.

This is not something that can be done by outstanding abilities alone.

Sima Yan stared at Wang Yun with a smile on his eyes and asked seriously: "Did you have fun?"

Wang Rong was stunned, then the smile in his eyes became deeper, rubbed Sima Yan's head and said, "Of course I'm happy."

Sima Yan said "um" and said that he would not ask anymore. He pulled away Wang Yun's hand that was rubbing around his head and continued to focus on the bottles and jars on the experimental table.

Wang Yun twisted his fingers, savoring the soft and smooth touch just now, and then looked at Sima Yan's cheeks with a little cute baby fat.

It feels like it should be very good to pinch!

No wonder those stupid boys used to always bully girls!

Zhang was still next to him, so Wang Rong naturally did not dare to be brave enough to pinch Sima Yan's face. He could only join Sima Yan, who was addicted to experiments, to join the new round of practice.

The house next door was transformed into a small workshop and was improving the production process of pancreas.

Panzi is the soap used to take a bath in this era. Fang Hong has someone who can do this under his command. Wang Yun asked the other party to demonstrate it for himself, and directly pointed out an improvement idea based on the theoretical basis he mastered. The rest is repeated practice.

After winter, flowers were difficult to find, so Wang Yun and Sima Yan asked someone to search for orange peels and barely extracted a small lid of plant aromatic essential oil.

Wang Rong asked Sima Yan and Zhang to go back first and go to the next door to observe the production of the new pancreas. Seeing that the process was basically mature, he asked someone to do it for him. He found an opportunity to add some orange peel essential oil to it. The mold was also made by Wang Rong himself. The pancreas after forming looked beautiful and had a fresh smell. It smelled carefully and had a faint fragrance.

Wang Rong was very satisfied and carefully packaged it himself and took it back excitedly to present treasures to Sima Yan and the others. Sima Guang also went to the yamen. Seeing Wang Rong coming back with a few small boxes, he asked him with a tense face: "What is this?"

Wang Rong was not scared by Sima Guang's serious question at all. He opened a fragrant pancreas with enthusiasm and said to Sima Guang: "This is my new pancreas. You can smell it, how fragrant!"

Sima Guang had already heard from Zhang that Wang Yun had made essential oils, and was waiting for Wang Yun to come back and ask in detail, but Wang Yun actually held a pancreas to show him! What the kid said about the plan was indeed an excuse. In fact, he just wanted to get something and use it himself!

Sima Guang stuffed the pancreas to Zhang and took Wang Yun to the study to talk. After Wang Yun said that this was one of the products to be used in the future, Sima Guang's face cleared a little and he started taking Wang Yun's homework. It was not until Zhang called them to have dinner outside that Wang Yun was free.

After the meal, Wang Rong stuffed a fragrant pan into his pocket and actively invited Sima Guang: "I'll go take a shower with my father. Do you want to go together!"

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi have known each other for a long time, and they also know that Wang Anshi has always been a little resistant to taking a bath. After the winter begins, he will definitely reduce the number of baths more confidently. Thinking that he has accumulated a lot of things to talk to Wang Anshi these days, Sima Guang did not refuse, and nodded and agreed to go with Wang Yun to see Wang Anshi's expression when he heard that he was going to take a bath.

Wang Anshi was reading a book. After hearing the knock on the door, he put down the book and opened it. When he heard Wang Rong wanted to take him to take a shower, Wang Anshi's face was indeed not very good. However, with Sima Guang present, Wang Anshi naturally could not act too resistant, so he could only clean up and go to the next bathhouse with them.

Wang Rong showed off his new pancreas and shared his new research results with Wang Anshi, saying that he would wash him clean and fragrant!

Wang Anshi thrust his face and didn't want to bother with his son. If he cares too much, he would want to beat his son!

After taking a shower with the new pancreas, the three of them felt much more refreshing. Even Wang Anshi had to admit that the smell of the new pancreas was very pleasant, which was really a refreshing function.

Sima Guang invited Wang Anshi to speak in a pavilion and told Wang Anshi about the "small plan" that Wang Yun told him a few days ago. While the two of them said, they looked at Wang Yun, and the meaning in their eyes was probably "I have seen someone who can make trouble but have you seen someone who can make trouble like this."

But Wang Rong is young and these things are a bit... unrighteous. Wang Anshi and Sima Guang both think that it is best to make Wang Rong clear his relationship and never get involved.

As for Sima Yan, it is even more impossible to have a name for such things - a girl is involved in such things and wants to get married! Sima Guang did not mention to Wang Anshi that his daughter had been having trouble with Wang Rong every day recently.

Usually, he is facing Wang Rong, a troublemaker every day. Wang Anshi's ability to accept is much better than Sima Guang. He only pondered for a moment and said to Sima Guang: "Let me go back and discuss with Mr. Fan. Mr. Fan in the Xixia is more familiar with him."

Seeing that Wang Anshi had made a decision, Sima Guang nodded and stood up to say goodbye to Wang Anshi.

Before parting, Wang Anshi looked at Wang Yun following Sima Guang happily, and was ready to continue to go to Sima Guang's house without any nostalgia. He couldn't help it and raised his hand to knock Wang Yun's head.

Wang Yun covered his head and looked at Wang Anshi with a resentful look on his face.

Wang Anshi gave a lesson with a tense face: "Study well, don't make trouble."

When Wu was not here, Wang Yun had to respond obediently and followed Sima Guang. After walking several steps, he complained to Sima Guang in a voice that could be heard by Wang Anshi: "Oh, teacher, it would be great if I were your son, you never do it! Look at my father always slapped me in the head! I tell you, if I forget the lesson you explained, I must have been beaten by my father!"

Wang Anshi: “…”

Sima Guang: “…”

Sima Guang also raised his face and said, "You dare to forget to try it."

Wang Rong felt that the eyes of the two big men looked at him were a little fierce, and he didn't dare to say anything anymore. He closed his mouth and walked forward with Sima Guang.

Walking to the corner, Wang Yun turned his head inadvertently and found that Wang Anshi had not left yet. He stood there and watched him and Sima Guang walk back from a distance. Wang Yun was stunned and stopped and looked at Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi noticed that he turned his head and waved to him again, indicating that he would get out of here. This time he did not stop anymore and turned around and walked in the other direction.

Wang Yun felt his eyes were sour, so he turned around and chased Sima Guang. When the two returned home, Sima Yan was still sitting there doing needlework with Zhang. Seeing that they came back, Zhang asked Sima Guang if the fragrant pancreas was good. She also tried it, it was very fragrant.

Sima Yan also put down the needle and thread in his hand and quietly talked to Wang Yun, asking him, "What's wrong?" She found that Wang Yun was in a bad mood.

Wang Rong knew that Sima Yan had always been keen and did not hide it from him. He told Sima Yan about Wang Anshi standing there and watching him leave. He had always been able to take good care of himself in his previous life. Even if one leg was broken, he never let anyone worry about it. He would never be worried about it at all times like now.

Wang Yun said to Sima Yan: "When I watched my father turn around and walk, I suddenly felt that he was too tired to walk alone on that road."

Wang Yun did not explain what the road was, but Sima Yan knew very well that Wang Yun was talking about the famous "Wang Anshi Reform". Thinking of the rolling wheel of history, Sima Yan could only comfort him: "It should be too early."

Wang Rong smiled: "Yes, it's still early."

As the research began to show results, Sima Guang also relaxed his vigilance against Wang Yun and allowed Sima Yan and Wang Yun to soak in the laboratory every day. There were enough raw materials and no shortage of equipment. Sima Yan was very relaxed to make some skin care products for his own use. If he tried it too much with Wang Yuner, he could also debug different fragrances.

Wang Rong is better at summarizing things than Sima Yan. He is too lazy to do something he has done once and will leave it to others to complete it.

The two of them finished studying everything they should study, so Wang Yun asked Sima Yan to take him to recognize medicinal materials, and they recognized each other from one cabinet to another, which was also considered to be learning some new skills. Unfortunately, time flew by, and it was time for Wang Anshi to leave Yunzhou in a blink of an eye.

Wang Rong suggested that the two families go to Liangshan Shuipo to take a walk and see the scenery of Liangshan Shuipo in winter.

After winter, the weather became colder and colder. Even if the rivers in Liangshan were boundless, they could not withstand the severe cold in winter. The lake water along the coast gradually condensed into ice. Manager Hu had gathered all the water business on his hands, but the cruise ship could still be opened on the shore, and there was more fun to chisel ice and fish.
