In mid-August, Shao Xun received a memorial from "Cai Xiaolangjun" from Xihe.

According to him, the yield of one acre of rye in Zuoguoyuan is very average, which is not much different from that in Yanzhishan and Yuyang.

After reading it, Shao Xun put it away, and then looked at a semi-solid paste-like thing presented by Shaofu.

"This thing is taken out of fat and has a similar effect as soap, so it is called 'soap." Shao Xun washed his hands and said that when it came to the step of grass alkali, he found that soap was inevitable.

When Sun Xi had previously reversed the evidence, he had poured water that dissolved grassine into lard and observed this phenomenon, but now it has only been formally proposed.

The reason for spending so much time is that he tried butter, lamb oil and even sesame oil again, which can occur.

Later, he learned from it and considered that some rural people also used lime water to remove fat, so they felt that there was alkali in lime water.

So I tried to do the same thing. But I don’t know what happened. After a long time, a little bit of stone-like things settled on the bottom of the jar. They were very hard and had decontamination ability, but they were very poor.

Shao Xun admires his spirit of indecisiveness very much.

At this time, the craftsmen used fat removal, urine, wood ash, medicinal materials, and lime water, but the effects were different. Sun Xi's move has touched the threshold of a large category of chemical reactions (saponification reactions) from a single reaction. If it can be summarized systematically, it is of great significance.

Unfortunately, Shao Xun was poor in knowledge, so he even wondered why soap was soft and shouldn't be!

Are there many kinds of soap? I can't figure it out.

"There is soap, but now what is lacking is oil." Shao Xun asked to put away the item and walked towards Fangzhou Pavilion while silently thinking about the source of the oil.

If you want the people to afford it, the price will be reduced, otherwise they might as well apply some wood ash to wash their hair.

It sounds like a hell joke, but in ancient times, there are quite a few people who did this. Especially if they don’t wash their hair for a long time, their hair is the same as the wool collected from sheep, and the fat is very heavy. It directly saponified on the head. The animal fat must have stood aside. If you use that thing to make soap, only the upper layer can afford it, unless you catch whales one by one!

But you can think of it as whale oil as soap, making it into candles is simply the best.

If it was the industrial era, it was even more of the top lubricant. He remembered that in history, Europeans mostly hunted whales on a large scale, mostly without taking meat, only skin and fat. Even if time is urgent, skin can be ignored and only cut away the fat.

Vegetable oil is a more realistic choice than animal fat.

It is best to be a plant that can withstand barrenness, adapt to gravel, mountainous environment and has a high oil content. In short, it is best not to compete with grain crops for land.

If there is such an ideal oil crop, then wasteland that was not suitable for growing food can be used, which is equivalent to extra wealth out of thin air.

Shao Xun wanted to see it, so he came to a yard.

"Your Majesty, the prince is here." Seeing him coming, the palace people brought a baby and said softly.

Shao Xun took it gently, looked at the child's wrinkled face and smiled with relief.

Shi gave birth to a son for him.

This is the first of the new batch of Sima’s ladies. Next, they will line up to have children, and even one of them will not be able to escape.

Moreover, after Zhenming changed its reign, the ministers submitted memorials to select scholars and women from all over the world to enrich the harem.

Shao Xun did not agree, and in the end he only selected a few gentry, nobles, and grassland chief women to enter the palace to add female officials who were missing.

The ministers praised each other and thought they were virtuous, but only Shao Xun himself knew that he was getting sicker and worse. "He was conferred as a beauty, and was granted the servants of Bianliang, the young mansion, the sinners of the dynasty, the wife of the dynasty, the wine and two cakes." Shao Xun ordered.

Soon someone took the order and left and immediately handled it.

After returning his son to the wet nurse, Shao Xun was inconvenient to come in to see Shi and left quickly.

*******

In the evening, the harvesting army in the fields finally got a chance to breathe.

The scene of the golden wu drooping has never been as beautiful as it is now. The servants of the Shaofu put away the last batch of tools and prepared to return to the campsite. The so-called campsite is actually a piece of harvested farmland, and temporarily set up tents for people to live in, making it convenient for work.

For these harvesting troops, only night belongs to them!

As soon as my eyes opened and the sky was dawn, no matter what the situation was, I had to get up to work immediately. If there was a slight delay, a gardener like a wolf rushed over and smashed it down with a whip.

Gardeners are strong people in the garden. They used to be military farms and had certain military qualities and had equipment in their hands, which was not something these weak-bodied sinners could resist.

After Sima Chong returned to the campsite, he almost collapsed and didn't even want to eat.

A few blisters have appeared at the tiger's mouth in the right hand, which are left when I held a sickle and cut millet and wheat.

The back is extremely sore, which is also caused by burying the head to harvest food.

There seemed to be a spike in the clothes, which made the body extremely itchy.

The exposed skin was burned by the sun and it hurts so much.

It's really not done by humans!

When the autumn harvest season comes, whether you are digging rivers, feeding horses, burning bricks, or logging wood, you will come and grab the grain.

There are few exceptions.

Sima Chong had learned to make brushes from others before, and it was quite leisurely. After the autumn harvest order, he immediately rushed to the farmland under the name of Shaofu.

We started to grab food, and now it is the third day.

He doesn't want to do it anymore, he wants to cry even more, who will save me!

A convoy came out of the woods in the distance, which was for supper, and there was a commotion in the camp.

The gardeners shouted loudly, making the sinners honest.

After the convoy approached, it stopped slowly.

After a while, one person jumped out of the ox cart, carried a gong, and beat it to attract everyone's attention, and shouted with pride: "The Shi Meiren gave birth to the twenty-two princes, and the emperor was very happy, and ordered her to be given wine and food-""

Speaking and walking.

He had a loud voice, and he kept shouting several times whenever he went to another place before going to the next place.

"Beauty Shi———————————Sima Chong was stunned for a long time.

Which is "Stone Beauty"? Could it be—

Sima Chong didn't dare to think about it anymore. There must be other concubines named Shi in Shao Zhe's harem. By the way, they must be from Bohai Shi or Leling Shi. Ah Niang is 40 years old this year. There are so many young women in Shao Zhe who don't touch her, but they insist on touching her? It doesn't make sense.

At this moment, on the dirt road across the river, an ordinary carriage was walking slowly northward.

There were hundreds of warriors surrounded by guards, which was quite eye-catching.

The road is difficult to walk and it is bumpy.

Zhuge Wenbiao was not careful and almost fell down. Fortunately, Shao Xun was held in his arms.

She struggled gently, but before she could break away, she gave up.

"Yu Yuangui came to report it in a hurry for 500 miles. It was snowing heavily in Shu a few days ago. I was quite shocked." Shao Xun said, "Although Bianliang is still very hot, it may not change the weather any day. This year I will make you a fur and two to wear."

"No need." Zhuge Wenbiao said.

The carriage stopped.

Shao Xun lifted the curtains and looked quietly at the other side of the river. The entire campsite was a part of his large PLAY.

"Last year, you gave the fox fur, and you said it was unnecessary. Didn't you accept it later?" Shao Xun said casually.

Zhuge Wenbiao seemed a little embarrassed and said without hesitation: "Do you think you understand my mind very much?"

Shao Xun withdrew his gaze and wanted to laugh a little.

Zhuge Wenbiao's words were not the tone of the female official to the emperor, but he didn't mind.

"Last month, I gave Cheng and Guo Ershanggong a banana and ganoder shirts, didn't you show up?" Shao Xun said again.

Zhuge Wenbiao was silent for a moment and said, "I just happened to pass by."

"It's still a bit hot, so I'll give you two banana and kudzu shirts later. Even if you can't wear them this year, you can still wear them next year." Shao Xun said.

Zhuge Wenbiao shook his head and said, "Just give it to someone else."

Tong Qianjin's mouth twitched and moved away seven or eight steps away, until the riverside did not stop and scan the surroundings.

Shan Yinan is already pregnant, and Zhuge Wenbiao is not far from getting pregnant and giving birth.

Zhuge Hui is also backless.

Although Lao Tong always stands on the side of the emperor no matter what, it does not prevent him from despising Zhuge Hui. You are the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. If you really strongly ask to take your daughter home, will the emperor refute you this face? According to Lao Tong's understanding, the emperor will be unhappy, but it may give this face, allowing Zhuge Wenbiao to leave the palace and reunite with his family.

But Zhuge Hui didn't have the courage, or was obsessed with greed, so he did nothing in anyway. Not only did he not do it, but he didn't even get married, because the emperor asked her name last time and seemed very interested.

But after thinking about it, he understood.

It is not easy to surrender, but it is even more difficult to surrender with some ideas. It is a pain for the daughters of the Zhuge family.

Sobs came faintly from the carriage, men's comfort, and even something to guarantee Tong Qianjin smiled faintly.

After being with the emperor for so many years, he has learned a lot of tricks.

But he wouldn't use it because he lacked the basis for using these tricks: great prestige and power.

If the power is so powerful that women will give up and deceive themselves, and he has seen one Hu Hangui woman surrender to this.

Chang Long took more than a hundred soldiers to the other side of the river, carefully inspecting every reed marsh and bushes in the sunset.

There are geese flying by in the sky, and another year of winter is coming.

Tong Qianjin walked and turned his eyes to the wilderness in the distance.

The soldiers, civilians and wealthy families are also carrying out autumn harvest.

The autumn harvest is good, and every grain of grain that returns to the warehouse seems to be slowly repairing this world that has been riddled with holes due to years of war.

The rich people who had finished their autumn harvest even began to go south.

This is the family who sent their children to Jiangnan in the first half of the year. After spending some time, they obtained the Zhuangzhai family. Qiu collected the last wealth and moved their family south.

The sound of horse hooves sounded not far away.

Tong Qianjin retracted his thoughts and saw the messenger putting a draft order into the box, turning over his horse, and heading to Bianliang.

Tong Qianjin knew that this was an order issued by the emperor halfway, and was written by Secretary Wang Xizhi: After the autumn harvest, the counties and counties that had not yet been passed through the fields in the seven prefectures of Yu Chongsi and Jiqing, Xuyou, were investigated in one go.

The investigation of land in the northern land has entered the final stage.

After Yongjia, the land inventory was checked, followed by Yongjia. This not only gave them a buffer, gave them a certain amount of room for laying a solid foundation and gaining a foothold in Jiangnan, but also a tacit understanding and compromise between the monarch and his subjects.
