After winter, some things can't be delayed.

Bian Xu directed the servants and maids to pack things, mostly for daily expenses, and did not involve property or anything else. All of them were left to Bian Zhan and Bian Dan.

In fact, Bian Xu had some conflicts with them recently, and the quarrel was very unpleasant because he wanted to move his father to Jiyin.

The next chapter, Xia Dan strongly opposed it, and the three brothers could not argue for a while.

What's even more helpless is that his brother Kagiz did not agree to relocate the funeral.

After doing this, three out of four people opposed it.

My mother, Pei, was very sad, and finally said she would not go back to the north to settle down, so she would be in Jianye. But she had promised Pei Guipin before that she would definitely go back and see her relatives.

At this age, many relatives may be the last time, so it’s okay to meet.

Bian Xu was helpless.

From a selfish perspective, he actually wanted to go back to the north to develop. With his aunt's relationship, it was not difficult to find a middle and lower-level official position in the court. He thought he was better than being a local official.

In troubled times, local positions will be important, and the court officials will definitely be good during the Qing Dynasty.

After packing up some of the things and things, Bian Xu went out, passed the fence northward, went straight to the ferry, talked to a familiar boatman, and decided on the crossing of the river to the north in a few days.

Before leaving, I saw a house southwest of the ferry entrance. It seemed that the house of a royal family had been burned by fire, but now I need to repair it.

"Who is this house in his hands?" Ka Xu couldn't help asking.

"Yuyao Yu family." said the boatman, "I heard that their family is an official or a scholar. The emperor ordered it. Did you see a child playing at the door yesterday?"

"Someone has moved in?"

"yes."

"Can it be Yu Xi, brothers Yu Mao? It can't be Yu Tan's family?" Ka Xu said to himself, "I don't know." The boatman said.

"It's their house." A young man came not far away, riding a horse, and followed by ten warriors holding knives and bows.

The person who came was Sun Xi, the son of Sun He, the governor of Liangzhou. He was about to cross the river by boat to Bianliang.

"How do you know?" Ka Xu asked subconsciously.

Sun Xi didn't want to say much and left straight.

Bian Xu swept away the group of people again.

A young man and ten guards looked like warriors, everyone had horses. That's not counting. Several warriors were holding the reins of empty horses. In fact, there were seventeen or eighteen horses, such a big show?

Ka Xu immediately determined that this was not a child of the Jiangdong tribe, but a noble man from the northern region, and that his father and brother must have served as officials in the border areas for a long time, and had a good relationship with the Hu chief.

Sun Xi soon arrived on the Jiangpu and looked at the scenery bored.

He did not lie. The Sima Jin royal family's house and the more than 20 hectares of land around him were given to Yu Xi. This was what the prefect of Danyang Du came to tell him personally.

The reason why Du Yi came to the door was very simple. The emperor asked him to go north to Bianliang as soon as possible to ask questions.

When Sun Xi heard this, he almost cursed people. Is it easy to travel a long distance? But there is no way, even his father dares to scold the emperor, let alone him? He can only go honestly.

Of course, before leaving, he also understood what was going on. After learning that it was related to the crystal he made, he was so angry that he had no choice but to reuse the old method, repeat the previous process, and get some "crystal".

But, looking left and right, he couldn't see anything. He was so angry that he threw the thing into the stove, but he didn't expect it to change again. He couldn't say what happened, but he just felt that the color had changed, just like there was less debris, more powder, and more pure-

Huh? So fun? He left the big-breasted maid again and began to study this thing until the day he was on the road.

Ka Xu didn't know the right and wrong here, and he was too lazy to care about it.

Seeing that Sun Xi had no intention of talking to him, he laughed at himself and prepared to leave.

Many ships were parked in Jiangpu, and it seemed that they were preparing to sail. It was definitely not going to sea, because these were all "big belly flat boats".

According to Kaxu's understanding, this kind of ship has a "flat bottom" and a "big belly" and can carry a lot of cargo, but the side of the ship is not high. When driving in a river, the water almost overflows the side of the ship.

If this thing goes to the sea, the wind and waves will get in a lot of water, then it will overturn and sink.

But the gentry in Wu liked to build such ships. Whenever their manor was large enough, produced enough, and had a river channel that directly connected to the Yangtze River, they would buy more or less several ships.

This ship looks older, and it is obviously the inventory of some estates. The goods carried in the cabin are also in stock if they are not fully guaranteed.

"These ships one by one" Ka Xu was curious, so he stopped leaving and asked.

"Shao Bing went south and robbed many of our manors. There was a lot of wealth in the manor, which was not worth much in the south of the Yangtze River. It could be sold at a high price when transported to the north. This should be transferred to the north for money. Maybe I would pull something else back. I can't run an empty boat, right?" said the boatman.

Bian Xu nodded. Eat and take it, a feast!

"It's not Shao Bing, it's the King's Army." Ka Xu corrected it: "Now that the world is full of Daliang, how can we divide each other?"

The boatman, then sighed silently,

The scholars from the south lived in Jiangnan for twenty or thirty years, and they were still unfamiliar with them. Lunzi is Lunzi.

*******

On March 15th, a large number of ships were already gathered outside Bianliang City.

Not only cargo ships from all over the country, but also merchants from all directions.

The Bianliang market was about to open in April, and the merchants were ready to prepare themselves. Against this background, Sun Xi came to the Dragon Scale Hall to receive the question.

Prime Minister Wang Yan was also on the side, but he didn't seem to be in a very high mood and he got much older. Sun Xi greeted him one by one.

"Sunhe's child." Shao Xun smiled and said, "When your father sold peaches on the street, he was only this old."

This is not kind, and only Shao Xun and a few veteran generals can say it.

Sun Xi didn't know that his father had this matter, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but imagine the scene of selling peaches, which was quite inconsistent with his father's usual serious and heroic image, and almost laughed out loud.

"Does there be a word for a watch?" Shao Xun asked Sun Xi to sit down and asked.

"Not taken yet."

"Then call you Sun San." Shao Xun said, "I heard you burned plants and trees before, and I got a few crystal stones. I am quite interested. I wonder if I have continued to study it recently?"

"My servant goes day and night, and you have gained something." Sun Xi said.

In fact, he was mainly hunting in the past two or three months. Cao Bu didn't put his mind on the right path at all. However, he got tired of it later. When Du Yi found him, he didn't know what to do, so he re-studyed this thing.

How to say it, after all, the manpower and material resources spent in the past and after, I have obtained a few thousand yuan, which is more than half a year's salary for a skilled craftsman.

After hearing this, my brother blamed him for not doing his job properly, but he disagreed.

Now, I don’t even care, because the emperor summoned him!

"What's the gain?" Buxun asked the palace servant to come to tea and asked.

Wang Yan glanced at Sun Xi only, then withdrew his gaze and continued to sit there with a gloomy expression.

"Is there any real thing?" Shao Xun asked.

"Yes." Sun Xi took out a paper bag, presented the crystal stone, and introduced the process.

Shao Xun looked, listened, and recalled carefully.

If you throw it in the furnace and don’t touch the charcoal, it will be like burning it again and becoming purer? Or is there something else in the chemical reaction?

Shao Xun didn't know. He only knew that the main ingredient here was potassium carbonate, which was a powdery thing or he guessed it himself, and he didn't know if it was right.

"What do you think of this thing?" Shao Xun asked.

"It should be alkaline to be able to remove oil," Sun Xi said confidently.

"What alkali?" Shao Xun asked.

Sun Xi was stunned and subconsciously replied: "That is, the salt soil picked up by the people of the Han Dynasty."

"Salt?" Shao Xun was stunned, which was not wrong in chemical sense.

"So, is this alkali really the same as the salt soil picked up by the people of the Han Dynasty?" Shao Xun asked.

Sun Xi hesitated and said, "Young Master licked it once, it tastes a bit bitter and salty."

Shao Xun called Huan Wen to the clerk and asked him to go to Fangzhouting immediately to get some of the hu alkali sent from the grassland.

Wang Yan raised his eyelids.

Huan Wen was a scholar from Henan, and his father Huan Yi and Yu Liang had friendship. But he could not be simply classified as the prince, because it was to push life to the prince, which was too stupid.

In addition to Huan Yi and his son, there was Wen Taizhen. Wang Yan thought silently, but his mind was no longer here.

After a while, Huan Wen took some caustic soda with a tray.

Shao Xun greeted Sun Xi to come and see him together.

It is obvious that neither of these two "alkali" is pure, and more than one thing can be distinguished by the naked eye, but the main ingredients are still very obvious.

"It's different," Sun Xi said, "Everyone can remove fat, why are they different?"

"There are more than one kind of fat that can remove fat in the world." Shao Xun said: "There are people in the grassland who use urine to remove fat from wool."

Sun Xi nodded silently and accepted this statement.

When things got to this point, Shao Xun finally saw the dagger. He only heard him say, "Sun Sanlang, you can name this thing."

Sun Xi looked at Shao Xun.

Shao Xun nodded and said, "You have the qualifications to do it."
