Chapter 78 Guidance

Atunmi nodded.

Su You said: "Look, now we have the weight and volume. By dividing the two, we can find out its density."

Atunmi then waved to the master and the accountant to come over. She didn't know how to do complicated division.

After calculating the density of the bracelet and comparing the two numbers, Atunmi could tell at a glance: "The density of the bracelet is much smaller! Liars from Qiongbu River! Go back and make them look good!"

Su You smiled and said: "No, although this thing is not silver, it is of great use... In fact, it should be called white copper."

"There are two types of white copper. One comes from the silver smelting technique of the Tang Dynasty. Taoist alchemists added arsenic to copper to obtain white arsenic copper. They called it mithril, but it turned yellow again over time."

Atunmi's eyes widened: "Brother, how come you even know this?"

Zhang Zao is the leader of the business team. Su You just called him over to practice division calculations. Now he said proudly: "Brother Zhang said that this method is a Taoist secret that can turn copper into silver. Then my young master revealed it."

The secret is so embarrassing."

Su You thought to himself, why didn't I know that the white copper hookah, the white copper oven, and the white copper basin are all famous intangible cultural heritage products in Southwest China?

He smiled and said, "Brother Zhang tried his best to poison himself. I admire his spirit."

Atunmi quickly threw the white copper on the table: "Oh, my bracelet is probably poisonous, isn't it?"

Su You said: "Otherwise, there should be a kind of arsenic ore in your area, but the so-called arsenic cannot be refined into arsenic. It is actually another thing with a different nature. Your bracelet is made of arsenic ore and copper.

It is smelted together with the ore, so feel free to wear it.”

Atunmi looked at Su You and felt that this child was too mysterious and profound: "I now believe that you made those spearheads yourself, and the good swords you promised me were not empty words like other Song people.

.”

Su You smiled and said: "No one can lie to you, sister! Besides, the quality of your white copper is average and there is room for improvement."

Atunmi said: "Really?"

Su You said: "The new method is to use a sealed crucible, use calamine and copper ore to first refine the brass, and then add arsenic ore to the brass to obtain higher quality cupronickel."

"These two things are actually not very expensive, but one is in color like gold and the other is in color like silver, and they are easy to process. If they can be made into exquisite utensils, they will definitely be very popular."

Atumi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? Can it be like gold and silver?"

Su You smiled and said: "The world is vain, sister, what do you think it would be like if there was a white copper basin with a lotus pattern and the pattern on it is like gold inlay?"

Atunmi imagined what the basin would look like: "That's really beautiful."

Su You said: "Sister, I told you this white copper refining method. Now I want to ask, can you control the mineral deposits?"

Atunmi seemed to have heard something funny: "Ha, the Qiongbu River was originally our territory, but it was barren, so a few barbarians lived there. Since you dare to use white copper to pretend to be silver, you dare to insult me...

"

"Mr. Fan, take note of this and tell your father the truth when you go back. These barbarians will either leave our territory, or else, don't leave at all and stay here to mine!"

Mr. Fan glanced at Su You meaningfully: "Mingrun. What I want to ask is, if the Erlin Department has gained so much, what benefits do you have?"

Su You said: "Now the copper shortage in our Song Dynasty is serious, and the imperial court has no choice but to implement a copper ban. I think since there are copper mines in my sister's territory, it would be a waste not to mine them. But selling copper ingots directly like other mine owners does, and

You will suffer a big loss, so it is better to do deep processing to increase the value."

"Where will these bronzes end up? I think most of them will still flow into the Song Dynasty. The court must find a way to deal with this situation, and maybe there will be smart people who can think of a way out for the money shortage in the Song Dynasty.

"

Mr. Fan thought for a long time: "The copper policy of the Song Dynasty was too oppressive and the smelters had to adulterate to deal with it. The output was extremely low and the quality was extremely poor. Do you want to... do the opposite?"

Su You said: "My sister is in the Erlin Department, which belongs to Jisi Prefecture. The court is generous and the price given is fair. This is one of them."

"My sister will smelt red copper into brass and white copper and make copperware for Sichuan. The tribe's income will be greatly increased. This is the second reason."

"The price of copper is high. In Meishan's market, salt banknotes will be sold in large quantities. This is the third reason."

"Nowadays, the products in Meizhou are becoming more and more prosperous. There are many products, especially books, which are even more sophisticated. After my sister gets the money, she will definitely need to exchange it for goods. Meishan will also prosper because of this. This is the fourth one."

"When the time comes, Meishan will become a transit place that will take over Jiayi and radiate to the Sanjiang River. When businessmen gather together, if my brother and I open a restaurant, it will be enough for dozens of orphans to live a good life. This is five of them.

"

Mr. Fan thought about it again, and it seemed that there was really nothing impossible about everything. From the court to the localities to the tribes, there were benefits for all parties, so he said: "I still don't understand, what are your own benefits, Mingrun?

"

Su You smiled and said: "With my sister's support, I will naturally be more at home in Meishan."

"But the most important thing is that several new products in Meishan, sorry, are all related to me."

Mr. Fan was shocked: "Ming Runxiu wants to talk nonsense. All the industries in Meishan City are controlled by Jiang Qing. Do they all listen to you?"

Su You pointed to the jade porcelain chip beside the scale: "This is jade porcelain, a product of Meishan Shijia Porcelain Factory."

Then he took out the "hardly good" pocket knife from his school bag: "This folding knife is a product of Meishan Shijia Ironworks."

Then he pointed to a wall calendar of the Twelve Flower Gods on the wall of the temple: "That calendar is a new product from Cheng Sheren's Seal Shop in Meishan."

Finally, he put his schoolbag on the table: "This schoolbag is the latest yarn weaving and dyeing from the Su family."

After speaking, he took three deeds from the Tutu Temple: "Mr. Fan, except for the Su family's weaving and dyeing, which is my sister-in-law's property, the other three workshops all have 30% of my brother's shares... Oops, I got the wrong one."

Atunmi grabbed it and said, "What is this...hahaha wine!"

Su You said sheepishly: "Well, this... can barely be regarded as my own property."

Atunmi slapped the table: "Where's the wine? Take it out and try it!"

Su You said: "The wine is all in the winery..."

Atun Mibuyi: "There is no wine shop owner who doesn't hide the best wine at home. This is your home, right? Stop talking nonsense! Wine! Take it out!"

The lie was shamefully exposed. Su You had no choice but to go to the Earth Temple, uncover a futon, and then uncover a stone slab. Inside was a jade porcelain bottle of Yongchun Dew and several small porcelain cups.

Afraid that his sister-in-law and some elders would find out, Su hid a few bottles of oil in the Tutu Temple. Yes, he was drinking it secretly!

After taking the things back, Lao Fan stopped working: "Well, you Mingrun! Fortunately, I just said a good word for you in front of the Lord, but you are slapping me in the face if you disagree with me! You really are hiding wine!"

Atunmi was swaying with laughter: "What about Mr. Fan? I just said he must have it, right?"

Su You blushed and hesitated: "I am doing product testing..."

Atunmi grabbed the bottle and said, "Bring it here! We are not as hypocritical as you in the Dong village. You still hide it. Xiaoyou, you don't treat your sister as a friend! How precious is this wine?"

……Wow……"

The cork was opened, and even in the vast wilderness, the fragrant aroma of the wine could not be blocked.

Su You quickly put a cloth on the cup and apologized again and again: "I really didn't know that my sister also liked this. If I had known earlier, I would have taken it out a long time ago. This is the new Yongchun Dew from my wine shop. Come on, come on, I'll pay homage to my sister."

, and Mr. Fan, as well as all the cashiers."

The crystal-clear to slightly transparent wine glass and bottle, and the strong smell made everyone sitting there feel itchy, and they all knew that this thing was not ordinary.

When I took a sip, there was first a sweetness in my mouth, then a rich and complex aroma of wine, and then a strong heat flowing into my belly. Then I felt so comfortable that my pores all over my body were opened. I couldn't help but cheer in unison: "Okay."

liquor!"

Atunmi was so heartbroken that she couldn't help but Su You poured out one, two, three, four... six cups! A whole six cups!
