Chapter 33 Expensive silk

"My father has already made an urgent report on the salt making matters and will report to Your Majesty." Wang Li couldn't understand what Zhao Si was painting for a long time, and said.

"Well... When Your Majesty returns to Xianyang, I think it's almost done." Zhao Si nodded.

I was just an experiment before. If I really wanted to use large-scale production, it would be impossible to filter it with cloth, nor could I continue to boil it with firewood and get the salt.

The cloth was quite expensive in this era. Firewood was not expensive in this era, but it was never cheap. The current price of salt is because salt-producing coastal areas still use the salt-boiled method instead of the salt-drying method.

"That's right..." Wang Li moved to Zhao Si a few times and said.

"Didn't you remember where your home is?"

After some days of contact with Wang Li, he naturally talked about the issue of hometown. Zhao Si still used it to go to sea because he suffered storms and fell, and he was perfunctory.

In fact, he couldn't remember anything. He had no memory when he traveled through time.

He couldn't even understand the words. As for the name, he learned from other children that his name was Si. Because he couldn't remember his surname and was not used to not having a surname, Zhao Si happened to have a wooden sign engraved with the word Zhao. I thought it was a talisman or something, so he simply called himself Zhao Si.

It sounds the same as Nicholas Zhao Si's name, and it can also remind you that you are a time traveler.

At that time, Zhao Si people were on the sea, and there were mostly children of the same age around him, and with golden fingers to help him, Zhao Si was able to slowly get through the predicament.

From the beginning of the conversation to the gesture, to the end of the fluent local dialect.

It is worth mentioning that Xianyang’s Mandarin is not like the modern Shaanxi dialect.

The times are too long apart, and Zhao Si is just about the same thing as listening to foreign languages ​​when he first comes to tell the truth.

"I sent someone to inquire. I didn't hear of a boy named Zhao Si around Xianyang." Wang left and said.

Thanks to the outstanding official administration of the Qin Dynasty, such as large-scale corvee service, basically local governments have specific names and records of local service personnel.

"But you found out a few names on the list you gave me, and I don't know if it's right." Wang said.

Zhao Si asked Wang Li to help him inquiry about the urns of the deceased crew members.

Many crew members only have names and unclear origins. Zhao Si didn't know where to be buried, so he simply entrusts Wang Li to check and see if there is no corresponding person in Xianyang.

"Take it for me!" Zhao Si said.

"I haven't found out yet, so there may be a duplicate name or something." Wang Li said.

"They themselves cannot remember their hometowns. Besides, even if they have a duplicate name, as long as they went out to sea with the boat and have not yet returned, they will either stay in Fusang or die at the sea. Even if they have the same name and surname, no one can tell." Zhao Si said.

He didn't want to fool things up.

But the matter of going to sea, those who have not come back, even those who stay in Fuso are not much different from those who are dead for their relatives here.

Regardless of whether the same name or surname is the same, sending the ashes back, at least both sides have comforted each other.

Finally, I would not have buried the ashes of crew members who could not remember their origins. If they really had the same name and surname, they would be considered as a relative who was destined to be so destined.

After all, there are no cameras in this era, and the crew members have even lost their own verifications. In this case, it is impossible to be 100% sure.

Being able to match the name and the list of people who go to sea is already the limit of this era. If you have a duplicate name, it can only be said that fate is due to fate.

This is a big deal to do it here.

"That's it. Give me their relics and I'll send them there." Wang Li nodded.

There are not many names in Xianyang. There are three thousand boys and three thousand virgins who go out to sea. Wang Li took away a few of them, and there are dozens of jars left for Zhao Si.

"Thank you!" Zhao Si stood up and bowed.

In the next few days, Zhao Si was busy coordinating his mathematical formulas.

The main reason is that this thing has been useless for too long, and many of them have already blurred their memory.

But after all, I learned it once and focused on me. It is not impossible to recall it. It is just that many memories are fragmented and vague.

After Zhao Si came up with it, he was not sure whether it was right or wrong, so he had to check it several times according to the formula.

Verifying it once is not enough, because sometimes the wrong formula can achieve the correct result by chance.

Pythagorean theorem

Triangular inequality

Circle area calculation formula

Circle circumference calculation formula

Parabola Equation

Cone volume area

Sphere volume

Zhao Si remembered a lot of things and was very complicated. Some formulas were even verified repeatedly, but Zhao Si still felt that what he wrote was not the same thing as what he learned at the beginning.

Zhao Si had all matched the signs for sure.

Some of the verified things still feel wrong, so I put a question mark.

With Zhao Si's current level, he will definitely not be able to do the reverse principle to prove that the formula is right or wrong.

Even Zhao Si couldn't remember the principles of many formulas at all, and simply remembered the formula.

There is no way, Zhao Si can only do this. As for principles, they can only wait until people of this era learn to continue to fill in.

For more than ten days, Zhao Si, in addition to chatting with Wang Li to see the tools that craftsmen have dressed up, was to recall and verify these mathematical formulas.

After all, I learned something once, and Zhao Si's math grades were pretty good at the beginning, so it was normal that he couldn't remember it for a while. He was concentrating on it for more than ten days and could always remember it.

Zhao Si has basically thought about the main volume area calculation formula. These are things that can be used in daily life and are also very practical.

Some of the more profound ones are not clear, while others are not sure, but Zhao Si also recorded them all.

"It's over!" Zhao Si sighed as he looked at the silks covered with messy silk in front of him.

It’s really a headache to learn mathematics. Unexpectedly, I have to suffer another torture when I traveled through Daqin.

"It's done?" Wang Li spoke excitedly.

"I can't remember the others." Zhao Si nodded and looked at Wang Li's happy face with some confusion.

"How are you so happy?"

"If I don't have any money, I won't have money..." Wang Li rolled his eyes.

Zhao Si came to farm, not to do literary creation. It would be understandable if he used bamboo slips to travel to the army to reimburse funds, but Zhao Si used silk, which was much more expensive than bamboo slips.

"So expensive?" Zhao Si was stunned when he heard the king leave and cried poorly.

"The silk you used in these days is enough to buy a big house in a high-level area in Xianyang City!" Wang left.

Because Zhao Si had to constantly verify and test and error, it was not easy to write realistically on the bamboo slips, so he asked Wang Li and did not have more convenient writing materials. Wang Li got silk without saying a word.

I didn't expect that Zhao Si kept using it and didn't feel sorry for it at all. This thing is a luxury item and is very expensive and cannot be reimbursed. It was all Wang Li who paid Zhao Si out of his own pocket.

Zhao Si himself only knew that silk would be more expensive, but he never expected it to be as expensive as Wang Li said. He really didn't know the prices of this era. After coming to the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Si had never even been to the market after landing in, so it was impossible for him to know the specific price of silk.

Now that after hearing Wang Li's words, Zhao Si felt heartbroken.

"Can this thing be sold after washing it?"
