Chapter 1191 Matches
"Didn't Your Majesty ask us to go to the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters? But this...?"
After Ying Feiyu announced his dispersion, he turned around and walked towards the back hall.
But Wang Ben and others were not good enough. They had to wait for the small officials lined up behind the hall to turn around and leave the Qilin Hall before they could get out.
After leaving the hall, led by Mingde, we walked along the way!
After a while, the few people found something was wrong. This was not the way to the Imperial Study Room, but the direction of Guanghua Palace. They couldn't help but ask!
"It was your Majesty's order, and the ministers will follow me!"
Mingde bent and continued to make an invitation.
The few people looked suspicious and looked at each other and could only follow them.
Mingde is Your Majesty’s personal eunuch. He has been with Your Majesty for seven years and will not make any small moves.
I guess it was because His Majesty had no intention, so that they were asked to go to Guanghua Palace!
Following Mingde, he turned around and came to the main hall of Guanghua Hall.
However, no one else in Ying Feiyu was seen here!
The old guys looked confused and looked at each other, "Where is Your Majesty?"
"Several ministers follow me!"
Mingde still leads the way politely.
After passing through the main hall and reaching the pavilion in the back garden, the old men finally saw Ying Feiyu!
When I approached, I seemed to be fiddling with something on the stone table!
"Your Majesty isn't you going to call me to wait for the imperial study to discuss matters?"
Wang Ben asked suspiciously, and his curious eyes also fell on the stone table.
There are a bunch of small wooden sticks on it.
The wooden stick is almost the same size, and there is a crimson substance at one end, so I don’t know what it is!
"No hurry, you guys have a look at this first!"
Ying Feiyu picked up a small wooden stick and gently stroked another dark red painted cardboard shell, and the small wooden stick was ignited directly.
"this……?"
Seeing this, the old guys almost fell off their chins.
Two seemingly inconspicuous little things, gently rubbing, can spark?
"This is called a match!"
Looking at the shocked expressions of the old men, Ying Feiyu smiled proudly.
"matches?"
The old guys repeated it in unison.
They have never heard of this fresh word!
“That’s right…!”
Ying Feiyu nodded confidently and continued: "In the past, we needed to bring a fire to pieces or flint. It is not easy to say whether it can be ignited! But the match I have newly studied is different. Just use a light stroke and the fire will appear!"
After saying that, I picked up another one from the stone table and gently stroked the cardboard coated with red phosphorus and other chemicals, and the flames appeared again!
During the years he traveled through time, his eyes have always been on the general direction and ignored these small details in life.
Besides, in the palace, it was just getting dark, and a special person lit all the oil lamps in the palace early, so he didn't need to worry about it!
After changing the electric lights, I ignored this even more!
It was not until the last time he grilled fish in Mount Tai that he realized how difficult it is to make a fire. He thought that he must study the matches to facilitate the people!
In fact, the method of making matches is not difficult. As long as you understand the method, even the alchemist who has refined alchemy for the scumbag father before can make it!
The match head is made of chemical raw materials such as potassium chlorate, sulfur, rosin, etc.! The match skin is coated with red phosphorus and antimony oxide on the cardboard! There is a piece of paraffin on the part of the match rod. After the two are damaged, they are ignited by paraffin, so that the fire continues to burn along the match rod!
The Chinese Academy of Sciences has all these things, and he ordered people to take some of them and test them in the garden.
Mix various raw materials evenly according to the ratio, then dip them with a match stick soaked with paraffin and dry them, and the match head is made.
Match leather is simpler. Brush the cardboard to adjust the ingredients and dry them!
These things were just drying out today. After the morning court, he hurried to take a look and called the old guys!
Before the veterans arrived, he had tried it in advance, and it could burn easily and had been successfully developed!
"Your Majesty, using this thing to make fire is much more convenient than fire notes and flints!"
"With this thing, who can use flint?"
"Yes! If this thing can be promoted, it will be much more convenient for the people!"
"If His Majesty hadn't been promoting technology frequently, we would have thought it was a magic trick..."
The old guys said in surprise after being shocked.
"That's right! People's lives are closely related to fire. With matches, they can provide many conveniences!"
Ying Feiyu nodded.
This is his purpose of making matches!
There is no gas in this era, let alone induction cookers, electric woks, etc.
People’s three meals a day rely on making fire and cooking pots.
It takes a long time to make a fire every time!
When the matches are launched in large quantities, it will be much more convenient for the people!
"I don't know when the matches will be mass-produced? I will definitely buy more at that time!"
"Yes, it's easy to ignite, and my mansion must have more preparations!"
"And I...!"
The old guys are so anxious. Every time they see new things, they look impatient.
This is also the reason why Ying Feiyu called them here.
Looking at the excited look of the old guys, I felt a sense of accomplishment!
"No, no, no! Don't worry first!"
However, Zhang Han frowned and quietly pulled the corners of the other old guys' clothes, and winked at them frantically.
It’s really not fishy to eat a hundred beans.
I said early in the morning that I had to ask the price for buying His Majesty’s things. When I bought an air conditioner, I forgot it and suffered a loss!
This time, Match said that nothing could be fooled again.
Convenience is convenience, but what if His Majesty offers a sky-high price?
A match disappeared with a "swish" sound. Isn't it similar to burning money?
"Ahem... that... don't worry. Your Majesty has just researched the matches and has not produced them in large quantities. You have to ask the price before booking them!"
After a long time of winking, the other old guys didn't react. Then Zhang Han made a reminder and said, "Ask for the price" to be particularly serious.
"oh……"
After saying this, Wang Ben and others immediately understood.
Fortunately! Fortunately! I almost made the previous mistake again and damaged my wallet!
"Ha ha……"
Looking at the scared expressions of the old guys, Ying Feiyu laughed out loud without hiding it.
"Hehe! That... Your Majesty! I wonder how much this match costs?"
Zhang Han knew that his performance just now was a little too anxious, so he let His Majesty see through his thoughts.
So he smiled and asked awkwardly!
"Matches are priced at 10 cents!"
Ying Feiyu spit out a number with a smile on his face.
"Ten Mont?"
The old guys were shocked again when they heard the price.
Since His descended to Xianyang, this is the cheapest price except for paper and newspapers?
"What is so convenient is only sold for ten cents?"
"Old Zhang, you're too careful. Even if the price of such a small thing is high, how high can it be?"
"that is……!"
After learning about the price, the old men breathed a sigh of relief and began to blame Zhang Han.
Chapter completed!
