Chapter 29: Distiller

　　 "Reprimanded as a slave?"
　　 Zhang Liang raised his head at this time, a little weird.
　　 It is enough to kill the head just to be a gangster, let alone attack the official horse team, he was stunned for a while.
　　 Zhang Kun is the same, with a weird look.
　　 Xiao Ming looked at Pang Yukun, who was slightly satisfied at this time, and curled his lips. Originally, he wanted to release all these people.
But Pang Yukun strongly objected. He believed that it should not be too impatient to gather people's hearts. If they were not guilty and released, perhaps Zhang Liang would be grateful to Xiao Ming, but he would also think that Xiao Ming valued his talents and was more generous than him. A trace of gratitude will disappear.
　　Instead of this, it is better to denounce them as slaves, and treat them as slaves in the future based on their merits, so that they will be serious about shipbuilding.
　　 I have to say, not in the same era, sometimes thinking about different issues, the Virgin plot is sometimes undesirable in this era.
　　 Xiao Ming thought about it later, Pang Yukun also made sense.
　　 At this time, Qian Dafu slowly said: "Zhang Liang, you don't have to be surprised, it's what I beg of you, do you remember me?"
　　 Zhang Liang earnestly distinguished, and said in surprise: "The money steward."
　　 "That's right, it was me. When I first came to Qingzhou, I went to your shipyard and asked you to repair damaged merchant ships. You stopped me at Tuoshan last time." Qian Dafu said.
　　 Zhang Liang said guiltily: "Steward Qian, the grass-minded people are blind. If we recognize Steward Qian, we will never dare."
　　 "That's fine, don't mention this matter in the future. This time I begged your Highness to see if you have some shipbuilding skills, so I spared your life. You will try to return your Highness in the future." Qian Dafu continued.
　　 Qian Dafu This is to sing a double act with Xiao Ming, with a red face and a white face.
　　 Zhang Liangru went out of the ghost gate and said, "Thank you, your lord, thank you, butler."
　　 "Get up, starting today, you belong to the Department of Equipment, you are classified as slaves, Lieutenant Lu, let them go." Xiao Ming said.
　　 Slaves are still a common phenomenon in the country of Da Yu. The law of the country of Da Yu expressly stipulates: "Slaves and maidservants are better than livestock."
　　 means that like livestock, the modern term "slut" also comes from this.
　　 The servants of the house in the Prince Qi's Mansion can be said to be Xiao Ming's private property. He can buy and sell at will, kill them, without any human rights.
　　 There is no slave class among the scholars, peasants, industry and commerce here, because they are only vassals of the four classes.
　　The number of slaves in the city of Chang'an even accounted for 20% of the population. Those nobles who were not productive were all taken care of by these people.
　　 And the source of slaves is also very wide, prisoners of war, sinners who are assigned as slaves, beloved men who sell themselves as slaves, and children born to slaves.
　　The household registration of these people is specifically classified as slave status. Whether the slave status can be lifted depends on the wishes of the master.
　　 Now that Xiao Ming classifies Zhang Liang and others as slaves, their fate is still in his hands, and he can dispose of them at will.
　　 Lu Fei took Zhang Liang and his party to the Department of Equipment, and Pang Yukun said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, I got another group of craftsmen."
　　 "This is also thanks to Pang Changshi's advice." Xiao Ming said, and the two held each other's feet.
　　 Pang Yukun smiled stiffly, "But your Royal Highness, the two silvers allocated for porridge can last a month, and I hope that your Royal Highness can find a way. There have been a lot of gangsters who have returned in the past few days, and it seems that it has been effective."
　　 Xiao Ming's head went big for a while, and Pang Yukun bowed, meaning that it was all up to you, turned around and left.
　　 Qian Dafu glanced at Pang Yukun who was leaving, and said with a wry smile: "His Royal Highness, Pang Changshi is just this nature, but he has no malice."
　　 "Only you will be a good old man." Xiao Ming said helplessly: "Go, go to the Department of Equipment, whether you want to come to the bank depends on the ability of the Department of Equipment."
　　 This time Xiao Ming went to the Department of Apparatus and asked Chen Qi to forge a very practical thing for himself. This thing can not only distill alcohol, but also an essential thing for refining essential oils-a still.
　　 In fact, the principle of the distiller is very simple. It is several connected sealed tanks. The first tank is responsible for distillation, the second tank is responsible for cooling, and the third tank is responsible for collection.
　　 As long as the distiller is manufactured, the alcohol is distilled, and the essential oils of the plants are extracted.
　　The most important thing is that this distiller can be made of wood, ceramic, or metal.
　　 When we arrived at the Equipment Department, Chen Wenlong was assigning handyman work to Zhang Liang and others. Xiao Ming called Chen Qi over.
　　 "Chen Qi, I made these two things for me." Xiao Ming took Chen Qi aside, drew the picture of the still on the blackboard, and then explained the specific construction materials to him.
　　 This gadget, through the teaching of Xiao Ming, Chen Qi quickly got the specific process of making the still in his mind. He said: "This is simple, Your Highness, it is better to burn a few large clay pots, and it is also easy to shape."
　　 "Well, that's okay, the pipes that connect the pots are made by the method of through-heart penetration," Xiao Ming said.
　　This through-core is a method of wrapping a soft stick in mud, calcining it and then pulling it out, so that the condenser tube needed for the distiller can be made.
　　 "Yes, Your Highness, I will tell the craftsman to do it." Chen Qi said.
　　 confessed the distiller, Xiao Ming returned to the palace and asked Aster to buy some rice wine and spices.
　　 Aster went to the East and West Markets on the same day. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com only can buy rice wine in Qingzhou City, but not spices.
　　 Xiao Ming thought for a while, but could only find Qin Mu.
　　 "His Royal Highness, this spice is naturally okay." Qin Mu was obviously not concerned about this issue, but asked: "I heard that His Highness caught Zhang Liang and his son?"
　　 Xiao Ming stretched out his hand to bake on the briquettes. The snow in Qingzhou City stopped for a few days, but the snow melted, making it even colder.
　　 The Qin family and Zhang Liang had some past. Xiao Ming was not surprised that he asked this and said, "Yes, do you have any ideas?"
"His Royal Highness, it's not that Brother Yu has any thoughts, but this Liang owes us a large debt to the Qin family. My father meant to buy Zhang Liang and his son from His Highness and let them build the ship to repay the debt." Qin Mu asked tentatively. Tao.
　　 Xiao Ming raised his eyelids, and said lightly: "This won't work, this king is also useful to keep him, so don't think about this."
　　 Qin Mu touched his gray nose, and said in a confession: "If this is the case, Brother Yu will leave."
　　 Xiao Ming glanced at Qin Mu, and reminded him, "My batch of spices is used to offer to the queen's wife, you Qin family must be careful, if something goes wrong, this king can't protect you."
　　 Qin Mu was a little annoyed by Xiao Ming's refusal of Zhang Liang, and wanted to buy some low-quality spices to deal with it. Xiao Ming's words immediately made him excited.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, give me a hundred courage. I don't dare to be shoddy. My family happens to have a batch of top-quality spices from the Western Regions. I was going to bring them to Chang'an for sale. I'll bring them here at night." Qin Mu laughed. .
　　 "It's so wonderful." Xiao Ming smiled deeply.
