I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 19

Liu Tan sighed, and prepared to stay in Zhuangzi for two days in a bitter way, before he got out the still.

Complicated ones can't be done, but simple ones should be fine, especially since there are all kinds of talents on this manor, such as blacksmiths, pottery makers, and carpenters.

It is said to be a manor, but in fact the population has reached about 2000 people, and it can even be regarded as a small town. It is said that there is even a market.

It's just that most of the residents in the villages and towns are slaves. Of course, they have lived here for generations, and basically they don't make much of a village. Everyone has the same status, so there is nothing special about it.

Liu Tan asked Miao Rui to find blacksmiths, potters and even carpenters who might be used. He showed them the schematic diagram and said, "This one needs to be used in a humid environment for a long time. Take a look." Can it be done?"

The three craftsmen from different fields were dumbfounded at the blueprint.

In fact, Liu Tan’s drawing is very simple, basically there is only one shape. He followed the following ancient production technology, so he directly used the most primitive form - a bucket and a pot, and then there are The lid, the lid of the pot is liftable, and then the lids of the two things are connected with a pipe, oh, he even painted the stove underneath.

Compared with his calligraphy, he thinks his paintings are better, at least the images are accurate.

People in later generations can probably tell that such things are for distillation at a glance, but in this era it will only make people wonder.

However, one advantage of slaves is that they never ask the master why they made this thing, they only ask some key points of this thing.

As a result, Liu Tan thought that the drawings were very detailed, but the other party pointed out some points that were not detailed, such as what materials should be used for barrels and pots?What material is the tube in the middle?

Liu Tan originally wanted to use iron, but he suddenly remembered that although iron has been available these days, the quality is obviously not good, and the corrosiveness of wine is still quite high. The similar ones will also rust, and one of them will get metal poisoning if it is not done well.

So in the end he chose bamboo, which is more suitable for this kind of work than wood.

Then the question comes again, since bamboo is chosen, how to heat it?

Bamboo can't help but burn, when the bottom is burned through, and the wine inside is spilled, it will be the scene of a fire, and there may even be an explosion.

Liu Tan frowned, and finally asked cautiously, "Can you add a layer of iron plate at the bottom?"

When the iron plate is hot, it will also conduct heat to the bamboo on it, and the bamboo does not need to be grilled directly. Although the efficiency may be lower, it is already considered a good solution.

Of course, they can also choose pottery, but such big pottery is too bulky, and it is inconvenient to replace and maintain. The most important thing is that Liu Tan is worried that there is no glaze technology these days, and the clay has been in contact with wine for a long time, but this is his own. There is no scientific basis for worrying, so bamboo is better in comparison, after all, it is pure natural.

After determining the material of the main body, the more critical question comes, what is the function of each part of the distiller, what function is required, and what size is required.

These craftsmen are also sincere people. Most people would be scared to death when they saw the prince, but they saw Liu Tan...Although they were also scared, they were still very persistent in asking themselves professional-related questions.

Liu Tan's head was getting bigger when he was asked, and many questions were answered by his own imagination. For example, the specific function of the barrel is actually a condenser. He chose the method of spiral condensation, which requires a spiral tube. As for the tube What to use, according to the previous choice, it should be a sealed bamboo tube. The only difficulty is that it is difficult to make the bamboo tube into a spiral shape.

After going through all kinds of torture, Liu Tan was about to give up the distiller project.

How did he know that distillers are so difficult?He remembered that there were already distillation vessels in the Western Han Dynasty, and the tomb of Haihunhou was unearthed. How many years have passed since then, but now there are none!

After finally explaining clearly, he encountered material problems. Liu Tan had to explain to them what a certain part is for. The bamboo tube is the steam coming from the pot next to it.

Good thing he didn't need to explain what steam was.

Because he talked too much, when Liu Tan returned to the palace, he really didn't want to say a word.

The craftsmen in Zhuangzi were nimble, and they made what Liu Tan wanted after two days.

After hearing this, Liu Tan immediately asked someone to tell Chen Ajiao, but unexpectedly, Chen Ajiao called her to Jiaofangdian.

After arriving at the Jiaofang Palace, Princess Danyang was still snuggling beside Chen Ajiao. After Liu Tan saluted, before Chen Ajiao could speak, she said crisply, "Fifth brother is going out of the palace again?"

Liu Tan didn't feel very good when he heard the word "you". He did run out a little more recently, and thanks to the fact that the palace ban was not so strict in the Han Dynasty, if it was changed to the Ming Dynasty... then it would be impossible to even think about it. .

Liu Tan carefully glanced at Chen Ajiao, and found that there was no dissatisfaction on her face, but asked with some doubts: "Is there anything out there that is worth your trip? Could it be that some young lady has lost her eyes?" ?”

He said with a dazed expression: "The queen mother was joking, besides Fu Yu and Cen You, I am surrounded by men, so there is no such thing as a lady."

After hearing this, Chen Ajiao's ears twitched and she said thoughtfully, "A man? That Kunmi from Little Wusun?"

Liu Tan:? ? ? ? ?

He was a little devastated: "Where are you going? I'm just trying to help Li Xi plant that grape seedling."

What does this have to do with Xiao Kunmi?

After hearing this, Chen Ajiao was not relieved. Anyway, the men of the old Liu family did not engage in men because of a genetic mutation. Chen Ajiao was not surprised by this at all.

But when she heard that Liu Tan was still doing her best to help Li Xi, she smiled and said, "You miss the past."

Liu Tan is very calm. He knows that nostalgia is not a bad thing as long as it does not involve major issues of right and wrong.

He smiled and said: "After all, I can't bear to see his miserable end. If I really see Li Xi in the palace, I'm afraid I'll feel uncomfortable too."

Chen Ajiao looked at Liu Tan and asked, "So you understand?"

Liu Tan was confused for a moment: "Huh?"

Chen Ajiao said while taking a sip of honey water: "Since Li Xi has already been confiscated, he didn't have to be punished like this. Even if the house was stolen, it wouldn't make their family's life difficult."

Liu Tan immediately reacted: "He was framed? Why?"

"They're not trying to frame Li Xi, but they're trying to kill your helper." Chen Ajiao got up from her seat and walked to Liu Tan's side. She reached out and touched Liu Tan's face and said, "No matter what Li Xi's inclinations were before, With your relationship, many people will regard him as a natural fifth prince, no matter whether it is the prince family or the hook Yi family, they will not be happy to see you too powerful, understand?"

Liu Tan: ...

The cause of co-authoring this matter is still him?

So no matter how you look at it, it was right for him to save Li Xi.

Thinking of the way Li Xi's family was grateful to him, Liu Tan felt a little sorry for a while.

Although if you have to talk about it, these things have nothing to do with him.

But Liu Tan felt that since he had taken over his body, he naturally had to take responsibility for it.

Liu Tan felt a little depressed, and said in a low voice: "Why do they persecute you like this? The crown prince's position is stable, Mrs. Gouyi and Fuling are favored, what are they afraid of?"

Seeing him like this, Chen Ajiao seemed to feel distressed and said: "Although Li Xi is not the second Wei Qing, he has made a lot of contributions and is a threat. So his current situation may not be a good thing for him and you."

Liu Tan was helpless: "Then I can't just sit and watch him be corrupted. After this incident, I won't care about him anymore."

Princess Danyang on the side endured for a long time and finally couldn't help but said: "The fifth brother is the son of the empress, and his background is much nobler than the two of them, why should he be so wronged and forbearing!"

Before Liu Tan could speak, Chen Ajiao said: "Danyang, be careful, your fifth brother is kind-hearted, and you don't want to see Li Xi have an accident, and naturally you don't want to conflict with your brother. It's not a bad thing, but it's a pity that he doesn't want to Cause trouble, but there are always people guarding against him."

For Princess Danyang's words, Liu Tan didn't feel angry or anything like that, on the contrary, these words were quite to his liking.

People who have traveled through future generations, no matter how good-tempered they are, are born rebellious, and the education they have received has already determined this way of thinking.

If you are really forced to survive, then why not fight back?

Now that Liu Tan can bear it, he is not so aggressive. He just said: "After this time, as long as the Li family doesn't face the threat of family ruin, I won't bother with them anymore."

Chen Ajiao patted Liu Tan on the shoulder and said: "I have wronged my son, if you hadn't been reborn in my stomach, you would have been much happier in this life."

Liu Tan said with a smile: "Don't say that, Empress Mother. No matter how many people ask for such a fate, they can't get it."

Chen Ajiao didn't continue this topic anymore, she just let him go after caring about his basic necessities of life, and told him to be careful on the road.

Liu Tan has been thinking about how to live in the future since he left Jiaofangdian.

Although Chen Ajiao said that Liu Shi and Liu Fuling were going to deal with him, Liu Tan subconsciously put Liu Shi aside.

It's very simple, it's not worth it, Liu Ju is already the prince, and Liu Che has no tendency to change the prince, and he doesn't seem to pay too much attention to Liu Tan, so there is absolutely no need for Liu Ju to do so.

On the contrary, it was Liu Fuling. Ever since Liu Tan returned to the palace, Liu Fuling had shown hostility time and time again, and even dragged Wusun Xiaokunmi into the water for this reason, so Liu Fuling might be the most threatening to him.

The more Liu Tan thought about it, the more he felt a sense of crisis, and felt that Liu Fuling had to be dealt with if it really didn't work out.

He was a bit overconfident in thinking like this, he was not at that level regardless of Zhengdou and Gongdou, but he believed that Liu Ju would be interested in doing this.

To unite all forces that can be united, he learned very well from Mao Xuan.

Liu Tan decided to take a second look, if Liu Fuling didn't stop, he was going to do it.

I hope that Liu Fuling can be more sensible and don't try to kill him, otherwise even if Liu Tan doesn't want to kill him, Liu Zheng may not stop.

When Liu talked about this, he couldn't help being taken aback, hey, why are you almost going to kill Liu Fuling?

Liu Tan stroked his train of thought, and found that everything came from Chen Ajiao's words.

This made him wonder if he had been tricked by Chen Ajiao ==

Just when Liu Tan was suspicious, when he looked up, he saw the little yellow gate next to Liu Che walking quickly and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty welcomes you."

Liu Tan was a little surprised. Did he really go out too often recently?Why do parents take turns calling him to talk?

Of course, Liu Che's pigeons cannot be released, so Liu Tan slipped by.

And when he arrived at the apse of Weiyang Palace, Liu Che saw him and first asked: "I heard that you are busy growing grapes recently?"

Liu Tan smiled shyly: "When I went to see Li Xi that day, I just messed with it on a whim."

Liu Che raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, you can do whatever you like, but how did you know that Zhengdan's life will be changed?"

Liu Tan: #What should I do if I'm going to fall off the horse, I'm waiting online, I'm in a hurry#
