Chapter 649 Another New Item to Boil Water

Chapter 650 There is another new thing to boil water (fourth update)

After a while, the four people started arguing among themselves, arguing about what and how much land they should plant.

Chen Mo drank tea quietly and listened. He had no idea.

I have to think about it, I just want to send four people away in half a year.

Looking at the situation, His Majesty is causing trouble for the village. Everything was fine at first, but four people came and started causing trouble.

At about the same time, most of the candidates and village officials from other counties were laughing.

But it is really great. I go to the village to cook for myself. After eating, I report to the village leader and go out to visit the village.

Look at the geographical location, which family is rich, and which family's house is being repaired.

Looking at the courtyards, some people’s courtyards are neat and some are dirty.

I took out my notebook and red and blue pencils and took notes. Some of the messes may not be because the family members are not hardworking, but it may be because there are few people working.

When I went to the village entrance to look at the piles of firewood, I met people and asked which ones they belonged to.

Villagers will pile large firewood piles outside, and put small firewood piles and firewood sheds at home.

Once a fire breaks out, it is easier to put out.

Firewood piles can also reflect the size and diligence of a family. Firewood piles are generally made of wood, not split wood.

Cover the top with a straw curtain so that it won't get all wet when it rains.

Sometimes when I pass someone's house, I shout outside the yard, wait for the owner to come out, and then go in and take a look at the warehouse where the coal blocks and coal billets are stored.

Lijiazhuangzi, Li Yi finished giving lessons to the nurses in the afternoon, and Li Longji's family came again.

Today is May 29th, the last day of this month.

When the little guy saw Li Yi, he ran over and opened his little arms to be hugged.

He usually felt a different atmosphere in the palace.

Queen Wang took him on a merry-go-round and rowing a boat.

There were a large group of Yulin flying knights around, but even so, Queen Wang did not take her children to the Forbidden Garden.

The little one lacks the joy of playing in the countryside, mainly because he can't see his friends.

In Zhuangzi, you can always see children running around, looking at others and laughing.

"Brother Yi, roads have been built in Luoyang. There are many people there, and they reach all the way to Lantian County. They used cement and deliberately made cars with wider wheels."

Li Longji said that he had agreed to hire people from Luoyang to repair the track.

The wheels are wide enough to create ruts on the road, and other cars can run in them as long as their wheels are not wider than this.

There is no cement in the middle of the track. The cement road makes horseshoes too useless for horses to run on.

This kind of road is equivalent to a fast lane, and the mud in the middle is compacted.

If it rains, water will first flow into the ruts and then flow out through the trough next to the rutted track.

"Can it be used before this winter?" Li Yi was calculating the time. If it can be used before winter, the economic benefits will be reflected.

It was not completed before winter and was delayed for several months.

Li Longji said firmly: "If continuous heavy rains do not delay the construction period, it will be possible."

Then he brought up the matter of the Jingzhao Mansion water network.

"The water network can also be repaired this year, in autumn. With the water network, people will feel at ease when farming. When it rains heavily, the water network can also help drain floods."

The ministers realized the benefits and mentioned it to Li Longji.

If the eight rivers have a lot of water and enter the water network, the water network will eventually flow to the Qinling Mountains.

If there is too much water, it can form a river that follows the edge of the lower Qinling Mountains.

There is one more channel for flood discharge, otherwise it will rush directly to Jingzhao Mansion.

If it rains heavily for many days in a row, the water will first penetrate the land, and then the main rivers will not be able to withstand the breach.

After the water network is built, the water will be discharged first before it accumulates. Even if it overflows the embankment, it is only one place.

Once the land is flushed, grain can be transported from other places.

People's houses were washed away, but the land was still washed away, and the houses were destroyed.

If it were Li Yi's side, it would be to protect the cities from the countryside and protect the towns from the fields.

Li Yi had already thought of it, and he smiled: "The water network and river channels can clean up the silt every year, and the silt fertilizes the fields."

"There are also a lot of fish, especially loaches. Put some salt or sesame oil on them and let them spit out the sand. It's delicious."

Li Longji then said that he had never thought about how much fish the people eat before.

Now he understands that people can eat fish for two days if they catch fish in bamboo baskets once.

It can also be salted and air-dried to preserve it for a long time.

Each new and good method allows the people to eat more meat. If many methods are accumulated, won’t the people be able to eat meat every day?

We can't control distant places for the time being. Jingzhao Mansion will follow suit, and other places will follow suit.

"Third brother, we need to keep up with the cultivation of seasonings. When making fish and meat, with more seasonings, people will have more choices.

The price of salt cannot be raised, and even if a large salt dealer sells salt, there should be no tax.

If a tax of 1 cent per kilogram of salt is levied on the people, the tax may increase by 5 cents. "

Li Yi objects to the current salt tax. Salt is a necessity for survival.

"There is no tax on grain either." Li Longji also had a lot of experience. Salt and grain should not be touched.

"Third brother, I asked the workshop to make a water boiler. You can take it back and use it when the sun is shining."

Li Yi said and looked at the eunuchs, and the four eunuchs ran out.

When they came back, they moved a pot covered with small lenses.

An iron shelf extended from the edge of the pot, and a copper kettle was placed on the shelf.

"Mirror?" Li Longji knew the mirror.

But looking at so many small mirrors placed there and taking a look at them makes my eyes uncomfortable and makes me look like myself.

"When facing the sun, the light emitted by these mirrors falls within the range of the kettle, and the kettle will be heated and boil water."

Li Yi looked at the mirror solar cooker made by the craftsmen and introduced it.

"What is it for?" Li Longji thought about it and felt that it could succeed, but he was not sure about the purpose.

"Seawater cannot be drunk. Use this to heat it and condense the steam. If you are still worried about other things, use multiple layers of cotton cloth to filter it.

Boil it again and the water will be drinkable. Cotton cloth can be washed and replaced. It is easier to load cotton cloth on the ship than other things."

Li Yi talked about how to supply fresh water to the ocean-going fleet again.

He considered using a glass cover for distillation before, but the speed was obviously too slow. Now that he took out the solar cooker, it would be faster.

The key is that this stove can cook, otherwise it would be fried noodles and dry cakes on the ship.

"Brother Yi, don't use glass mirrors, use gold-plated or copper foil, glass mirrors are easy to break."

Li Longji thought of a substitute. What if the mirror is broken? Paste a smaller piece?

Change it, change it to something that can't be broken. UU Reading ｗｗw.uuｋansｈu． net

Li Yi looked at Li Longji in surprise. Damn, the ancient people were quite smart. Why didn't I think of that?

A thin bronze mirror is not light, but it doesn't matter if it is placed on a large ship.

Li Longji continued: "It is best to use boiled water to treat external injuries in the army. Adding a few of the same things to the logistics baggage will reduce the possibility of infection.

If you encounter a place without good water, use swamp water to distill or boil it for the soldiers to drink, so that they won't get sick."

"Third brother is right." Li Yi nodded and admired. Yes, the army is outside, there are no normal rivers, only swamps and dirty water bubbles.

The water inside will kill people if you drink it.

Take this thing and slowly burn it. Drinking a mouthful of water and not being able to drink a mouthful of water are two different things.

As for what to do if it rains and there is no sun? Drink rainwater. Rainwater pollution is not that serious now.
