With the experience of the first time, the process of making nitroglycerin for the second time was quite smooth. Several people did not dare to waste time and were all cautious.
I picked a little bit and put it in alcohol, and let the nitroglycerin dissolve in the alcohol to dilute part of the power, making it easier to carry. It can be used as a special medicine to treat heartache and chest pain.
The so-called chest pain actually refers to the current coronary heart disease and angina pectoris. In such a person, the chest yang is weak, so the body fluid does not dissolve and accumulates into phlegm. Phlegm is blocked inside, causing chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Phlegm blocks the airway, causing cough and excessive phlegm. A white and greasy tongue coating and a stringy or tight pulse are all signs of internal phlegm. The Qi in the heart and chest is sluggish, and the Yang Qi cannot be expressed and released, so the blockage causes pain, which hurts the heart and back.
The chest yang is weak and the yin and cold qi are reversed, so the patient easily feels that the qi is rushing upward from the flanks and ribs.
Nitroglycerin tablets are mainly used for the treatment and prevention of angina pectoris and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.
The effect is quick and effective for emergencies. The treatment is recorded in Zhang Zhongjing's "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" and some medical books, and you can find the method.
I made some simplified versions of nitroglycerin and sent them to Huimin Pharmacy to test the effects.
Zheng Xiong looked thoughtful at the glass factory employees who were watching.
"What are you still doing here watching? Don't you have anything 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 had a headache at this time. Soap and glass were fine. People in the glass factory knew the ratio. If it was leaked, it would be leaked. It was just a money-making tool, and at most it would not be so profitable.
Zheng Xiong did not avoid others. There were many people involved in all the steps. If he could not withstand the temptation or was given too much by others, it would be a matter of time before he leaked it. Zheng Xiong just signed a confidentiality document with them. It was obviously unrealistic to expect their integrity.
There is no other good way but to look at their conduct.
This nitroglycerin is not good. The wisdom of our ancestors is unimaginable. There is always a shortage of smart people with scientific research spirit. If the formula is leaked, those ambitious people will definitely study it carefully, which will cause social turmoil.
When it comes to this, we have to mention Nobel. Nobel made a total of 355 inventions in his life. These inventions brought him huge wealth. The most important invention was dynamite.
In 1888, Nobel's brother Ludwig died, and a French newspaper mistakenly published Nobel's obituary. Nobel didn't know what his public image was until he read his obituary.
When the newspaper denounced Nobel for inventing dynamite, it gave him the unpleasant nickname "Arms Dealer"; the obituary read, "Dr. Alfred Nobel's inventions enabled him to kill more people more quickly." He became a rich man through human methods, and he finally died yesterday."
When something is invented, there may not be so many ideas, it is just a tool. But when the people who use it are different, the consequences are very serious. If it is used correctly, it will be righteous, and if it is used wrongly, it will be evil.
Just like the same knife, I use it to cut vegetables, but you use it to chop people.
Although things have happened now, there is still room for recovery, and they may not necessarily dare to sell these formulas.
What Zheng Xiong was struggling with was whether to tell Lao Zhu about this matter. Lao Zhu was really good to the people, but he didn't have the patience to treat other people.
Zhu Yuanzhang has always missed Fengyang very much and often issued decrees to exempt people from taxes. In the 16th year of Hongwu, he finally issued an decree: Fengyang Mansion will be exempted from taxes and servitude forever (it was exempted from taxes and servitude for ten years in the early years of Hongwu).
The plan to establish Fengyang as the capital began in the second year of Hongwu. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered wealthy people to move from Jiangnan and Shanxi to mobilize local economic development. Imperial mausoleums were built, large-scale construction projects were carried out, and craftsmen from all over the country were mobilized to build imperial mausoleums, palaces and other large-scale projects. But the problem is that these immigrants have no wages or reward money, and they are tired from work, so they end up putting in various town items.
By the time the Hongwu eight-year project was completed, Zhu Yuanzhang even prepared to officially move the capital from the temporary capital to Fengyang, and issued an imperial edict to this end.
In "The Zhongdu Announcement of Sacrifice to Heaven and Earth", he said: Since the Central Plains was pacified in the early days of Hongwu, my ministers rushed to Bianliang with the intention of building a capital to calm the world. At that time, the people's livelihood was in decline, and transportation by land and water was difficult. They were afraid that the people would be overworked, so they discussed it with all the ministers. Everyone said that Zhongli Ke was ancient, so the county was named Lianggen, which is now Fengyang, and the capital was established here.
At this moment, Li Shanchang suddenly reported: I heard that the construction workers were very dissatisfied with the work being too hard and too obligatory (no money), so they cast various spells and objects to make them unable to live in the house. Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry when he heard this, and quickly sent people to investigate, and sure enough, many treasures were found.
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious about this and wanted to kill all the workers who participated in the construction of Zhongdu. At this time, Xue Xiang (he was a subordinate of Yu Tonghai and Liao Yongan, and therefore belonged to the anti-Yuan armed forces on the sea) said that blacksmiths and stonemasons would not participate in this matter, thus leaving thousands of blacksmiths and stonemasons alive.
Unfortunately, the carpenter did not survive. Carpenters should be the majority, there are always thousands of them.
Zheng Xiong had to plan carefully. If he reported directly to Lao Zhu that the thing was built, these people might leak the secret, and no one would survive.
In other words, if you ask for credit for them and mention this incident by the way, there is a high probability that you can save them.
It was getting late, so Zheng Xiong handed over the documents for the court meeting and got off work. Before leaving, he specially asked them to take credit for them and get a vaccination.
The shivering mornings were very painful. There were always some people who took the trouble to go 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 haven't come to court this morning. Please tell me what you are busy with. I heard that you even opened a specialty store. You are so short of money."
Zheng Xiong was shocked. He didn't know who the unscrupulous person was who brought this matter to Lao Zhu. He wouldn't kill himself. After all, he was still a typical person. He could just admit his mistake anyway and there would be no shame.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen is aware of his guilt, but Wei Chen has been really busy recently. Now that he has succeeded, I would like your Majesty to give you some advice."
"What's going on? Tell me carefully and let me listen."
"The pharmacy recently cured a patient with intestinal carbuncle. The glass factory produced glass and soap with a hint of mottled color, which sold well. However, through the efforts of the employees of the glass factory, we came up with a powerful gunpowder that can be used as long as A little bit can blow up a big hole. I have the courage to come and ask for credit for them, and I hope your majesty will tell you how to deal with this thing, and it will be a troublesome thing if this thing spreads."
Lao Zhu snorted coldly.
"I already know. If you don't come to today's court meeting, I will have to invite you. For such a big event, you didn't report it early and almost asked me to come to you. You are really brave."
Lao Zhu was angry and waited online, which was quite urgent.
"The sin of a humble minister deserves to be punished by death. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Because the gunpowder you made has merit, I will spare you this time. Except for you, everyone else in the glass factory has been examined, and there is no problem for the time being. Since you asked for credit for them, they will be spared. But. The gunpowder you made has to be handed over. I can't make it for you. Moreover, I plan to mobilize a battalion of guards at the glass factory. They will all grow up here from now on, and the sons will inherit the father's business. Wouldn't it be nice for the whole family to be neat and tidy?"
"By the way, I heard that your glass factory is very profitable, so I will leave it to you to take care of the money and food for the guards."
