The direction of history has changed since the reduction of gold, flowers and silver, and the increase of grain and salary for the southwest to suppress the rebellion and pay!

The young emperor far away in the capital sighed with a wry smile. The more changes are, the fewer the advantages of time travelers will be, and they can no longer rely on predictions to take advantage of opportunities.

This is a chain reaction, like dominoes. Of course, if it is two more independent sets, the impact may be smaller.

It's time to perform real skills! Get rid of the chaotic thoughts, the young emperor put on a mask and prepared to start a plan to make a fortune.

Yes, high-end royal silk cotton, made by skillful palace maids, the world's first mask has been released.

In the complex and strange eyes of the palace people, the emperor was going to rob the Tao, no, he was going to the laboratory to complete the final work.

He stopped others with his majestic eyes, including Wang Tigan and Zhang Yuer. The young emperor brought a few palace men into the hall.

In ancient China, chemists were alchemists. They had no theory at all and just made trouble, but they also produced many chemical drugs.

For example, calcined green alum (ferrous sulfate) can produce sulfuric acid; dry distillation of saltpeter can produce nitric acid, etc. Of course, they don’t know what it is called or what it can be done specifically.

But for Zhu Youxiao, all the theories are not difficult issues.

With the glass instrument, he made nitric acid and silver nitrate; he added alkali to the urine, heated the reaction to produce ammonia, and then dissolved in water to produce ammonia.

He taught these processes to more than a dozen smart palace ladies, and they were divided into three laboratories and three sets of people to prepare them separately, one silver nitrate, one ammonia water, and one mixed reagent to brush the mirror.

This way, leaks are avoided to the greatest extent.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao knew what was going on with this advanced play. That’s right, it was the silver mirror reaction produced by adding fructose to the silver ammonia solution.

Historically, this was the electroless silver plating method of German chemist Liebich. It is said that as long as the solution concentration is appropriate, a mirror can be made in half an hour.

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect to have half an hour, even if it could be made in a few days, it would definitely satisfy him. You should know that the mercury-tin reaction method takes more than a month, and the mercury used is also toxic.

After preparing the last solution, Zhu Youxiao commanded the palace servants to apply the solution to the glass with a brush, layer by layer, and brushed several layers in succession.

By the time Zhu Youxiao walked out of the laboratory, more than half an hour had passed. Wang Tigan and other palace ladies were anxious and restless.

"Emperor." The king came up happily and directed the palace servants to bring a basin of water to bring a towel, so that Zhu Youxiao could clean his hands.

After washing his hands and faces, Zhu Youxiao ordered the palace servants to lock the palace door and put the keys around his waist.

At this time, Zhang Yuer came over with her, sleepy eyes, and it seemed that she had not woken up for long.

It seemed that the girl had a short time to sleep.

Zhu Youxiao thought it was because of the hot weather, so he didn't care, so he returned to the Ganqing Palace.

After a while of rest, Zhu Youxiao ordered Liu Ruoyu to come and read the question book. No matter big or small matters, he had to know it and be a responsible human stamp!

As of now, the reform has just begun. Except for the gradually deepening Qingtun payroll, which has caused great trouble in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and northern Zhili, other places have been affected relatively little.

Of course, taking advantage of the aftermath of the rebellion of the Scent of Incense, Zhu Youxiao severely dealt with the gentry and landlords who arrears taxes. All their families were exiled to Hainan Island and Dongban, and the so-called culprit was to be executed in the late Qiu period.

The methods were a bit disgraceful, but the benefits and effects were surprisingly good. The family was raided and the income was earned hundreds of thousands of dollars, and all the taxes were paid, which allowed the Ministry of Revenue to finally take a breath.

The recharge of pay in the clearing town will also show benefits after the autumn harvest, and the expenditure on military pay will be reduced a lot. This policy measure will also be implemented from north to south, from provinces to provinces.

You should know that according to the number of military camps set by Taizu, the garrison was the largest landlord.

Especially in areas where wars were suffered in the plains in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Zhu Baba gave each soldier fifty acres of land.

It is precisely because the garrison mastered a large amount of land that they became the target of generals, prominent officials, bureaucrats, and local gentry.

The embezzlement of the northern military camps is very serious, and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River are even more shocking. To put it bluntly, the resistance to replenishing wages in the clearing of the villages will become increasingly greater.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao took ruthless action and even the King of Qin did not let it go. He just wanted to use this to shock and lay the foundation for future promotion and implementation.

Although there was great resistance, Zhu Youxiao was still confident. Not only because he was the emperor, but more importantly, the army was under the control of the court, and there were no warlords like those in the late Ming Dynasty who did not surpass the court.

Through reforms in Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places, Zhu Youxiao has also accumulated a lot of experience and has become more flexible and sleek.

First, local generals are transferred to martial arts, and new generals are replaced by martial arts, and then hundreds of new troops are brought as personal guards and backbones, so you can basically control the military power.

Then, with the army as a guarantee and the implementation of clearing the garrison and recharging the salary with an iron fist, the probability of success is the greatest and the turmoil caused is the smallest.

While having to struggle, Zhu Youxiao's idea is not contradictory.

The strong enemy has not been destroyed and there is no capital for great chaos and great governance and fierce struggle, so he uses this relatively mild method. Not only him, but even Sun Chengzong and others agree very much.

Judging from the current progress and results, it is still very gratifying. At least after the autumn, Zhu Youxiao had the financial resources to reduce taxes to Shaanxi and let the people take a breath.

As for the more than one million taels of gold and silver that enters the inner warehouse every year, Zhu Youxiao can pull out half of it to support the southwest battlefield at once, but because the mirror is about to be manufactured successfully, the benefits after it goes public are enough to compensate.

That's right, the mirror will bring Zhu Youxiao a huge amount of money that is unimaginable.

Don't believe it. In the seventeenth century, the tin amalgam mirror produced in Venice was worth a hundred times the value. European princes and nobles, wealthy and wealthy men were proud of having one side.

At that time, a French queen got married and received the most expensive gift from Venice, a small mirror worth 150,000 francs.

According to later calculations, one franc was worth 80 yuan at that time, which is... I took a break and it turned out to be one million.

If you convert it into the silver of the Ming Dynasty, one tael and six hundred yuan (it's easy to calculate). That is, that's, haha, two thousand taels, two thousand taels.
