Li Yi thought of something good. The indigenous oil refining method would cause serious pollution.
But was it pollution that he was considering now? It was technological innovation and money.
How simple was the indigenous oil refining method? In his time, some people in the oil-producing war-torn countries used a gasoline barrel to refine the oil.
When the oil was heated, different temperatures would produce different things.
Simple gasoline, kerosene, and diesel could be produced from the beginning to the end by increasing the temperature.
The easiest thing to obtain was gasoline. It was not pure enough, and there was kerosene in it. After heating, the kerosene would increase and the gasoline would decrease, but diesel would appear.
If he wanted to control the entire process, he would need to add other things and change the process.
Li Yi did not plan to add other things, nor did he plan to have more advanced processes.
It was fine as long as it could be used.
At the same time, there were also by-products such as paraffin and asphalt.
As for butane, propane, ethylene, and other things, they would be wasted.
Compared to those people in the war-torn countries, he was relatively better.
At least he could build kilns and add various boilers and condensing chambers.
Li Chengqi's understanding of oil was only that it could be used to ignite a fire. It was not easy to get rid of it when it stuck to the body.
"Brother Yi, didn't we say that we can't use Kongming lanterns and kites to burn the enemy? They will learn from us. "Li Chengqi thought of this.
"No, we won't fly kites. With paraffin, we don't need to use alcohol to blow hot air balloons. We can change it to something else. Alcohol can be used to treat the soldiers' injuries."
Li Yi did not want to use alcohol. If he changed it to gasoline, he would also use a blowtorch.
Using a blowtorch for welding was much more convenient than the current welding methods.
The welding method used in the Tang dynasty was fusion welding. Two metals were heated, and the parts that needed to be welded would be joined together when they melted.
Brazing. Brazing was similar to welding with added materials. It was a type of material that melted more easily and was placed among other materials that did not melt at the same temperature.
In addition, pressure welding was where the copper and iron bars were heated red and smashed together with a big hammer.
Welding also used the same principle. The filler was placed on the metal and sprayed on it. The filler was then melted.
There was no filler. The two metals were directly burned and stuck together.
Of course, the welding could also cut the metal.
When the pressure was great and the mouth of the welding torch was big, the flame thrower was produced as soon as the switch was released.
The more Li Yi thought about it, the happier he became. This flamethrower could be filled with gasoline, add some sugar, and spray it on the enemy …
"Hehehe, hehehehe …" Li Yi wanted to laugh at himself.
Li Chengqi opened his palm and waved it in front of Brother Yi's eyes. "Brother Yi, don't scare me. Is that thing useful?"
"Ah? Ah! It's easy to use, and the key is that it can make a lot of money. As long as others don't know how to handle it, they can't do anything even if they get their hands on it. "
Li Yi recovered from his reverie and nodded.
"How much money can we make?" Li Chengqi was thinking about the issue of paper money. There must be enough guaranteed items.
"Oh my god, how much can oil products make now? It depends on how much money the rich family has. "Li Yi gave a vague answer.
Li Chengqi chuckled. He understood. It was a big deal.
The stone that others were unwilling to use would become money in Brother Yi's hands.
Oil was not easy to control. It was liquid and flowed, so it needed to be stored in a jar.
If you put too little oil, it would smoke; if you put too much oil, it would still burn when the food was ready.
When other firewood and coal fell on the body, it could be touched.
The burning oil stained his body, and a large piece of his flesh was burned. It was a frightening sight.
"Brother Yi, I'll help you think of a way. I'll go back to Zhuangzi to check on the cotton harvest there. Give me the blueprint of the thing you have here."
Li Chengqi said and ran away. He didn't go to Liuli Village at all. If the people there weren't stupid, they would already be picking cotton.
He went to the palace and told Zhang Shuo that he wanted to teach him how to deal with the currency issue.
At the same time, he would also explain to Yao Chong and Lu Huaishen what industrial relations were. Prime Ministers like you, this prince … was speechless.
When he arrived at Xingqing Palace, Yao Chong and the other two had just finished talking and were about to leave.
"Stop, no, please stay. This prince has something to say." Li Chengqi accidentally lost his manners.
Yao Chong was not angry. Instead, he looked up at the tall canopy and sighed, "Sigh!"
Lu Huaishen and Zhang Shuo looked frightened. Yuanzhi guessed correctly again? Something big happened?
"Your Majesty." Li Chengqi decided to bow.
"Brother, it's better to call me Third Brother." Li Longji corrected him. Was it important what he called him now?
"It's like this, about the currency …"
Li Chengqi began to say, "Wow, wow."
He mentioned the impact on the current currency system and the issue of currency exchange.
Li Longji listened and nodded. At the same time, he looked at his three Prime Ministers.
The three of them blushed. Even if Yao Chong was thick-skinned, he couldn't bear it at this moment.
It was clear that Li Yi had already thought of this when he was planning to print the money. He had planned it out before acting.
He understood paper money better than anyone else.
They were thinking about the next step, or the step after that, but Li Yi was thinking about the final result.
"Your Majesty, please summon Jin Zi Guang Lu Da Li Yi to the court." Yao Chong couldn't hold back and made a request to Li Longji.
Li Longji narrowed his eyes and turned to Li Chengqi, "Big Brother, did you say that Brother Yi gave out something good again?"
"Yes, I can see the blueprints tonight. There are two kinds of new textile products. One is water power, and the other is multi-ingot."
Li Chengqi gestured a few times and realized that he didn't understand, so he put down his hands.
"Everyone, please tell me the pros and cons of these two things." Li Longji threw the question to the three Prime Ministers.
Zhang Shuo scratched his head. It wasn't because he was itching, but because he was worried.
He finally realized that after His Majesty met Li Yi, he would always ask questions.
He had a habit of asking questions on the spot and making people answer them on the spot.
We're not Li Yi. We can't answer every question and answer every question that comes our way.
Your Majesty, we can't do that! We don't have the ability to answer your questions during a meal.
Li Yi can introduce the food in the first sentence. After you ask and he answers, he will continue to introduce the food in the next sentence.
We're not him. He's not human at all.
Yao Chong stood at the side and felt the distress of being questioned.
He realized that when he asked Li Yi in the past, he didn't think much of it.
Now that he was suddenly asked, it was simply …
"Maybe it will speed up the annexation of land." Lu Huaishen said.
"Yes, annexation of land, planting mulberry trees, raising silkworms, and weaving hemp." Zhang Shuo reacted quickly and said.
"I thought so too." Yao Chong frowned and thought for a while before agreeing.
"Can it be solved?" Li Longji asked naturally.
He was used to asking questions before drinking soup with Brother Yi. There would be an answer when he swallowed the soup.
Unless Brother Yi was also drinking soup, he could only speak after he swallowed it.
"The imperial court has ordered that it is not allowed." Yao Chong replied quickly this time.
"The imperial court has never allowed it. There are always annexations." Li Chengqi was dissatisfied at the side.
"The imperial court has stipulated which fields can only be planted with grains and not mulberry hemp." Zhang Shuo said in a low voice. He didn't believe it even after saying it.
There were already regulations now. The regulations were the amount of mulberry hemp to be planted.
Some people even secretly planted grain and then sold it to buy things to exchange for peace.
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Longji didn't ask anymore.
The three of them took their leave and prepared to go back and think of a solution.
"Third Brother, I'm going to Zhuangzi to pick cotton. You go back early today and ask Brother Yi." Li Chengqi left after saying that.
