Datang: My private money was exposed by Li Shimin

Chapter 85 Making Ice with Saltpeter

"Your Majesty is too worried..." At this moment, Qi Jimei said calmly.

"It's very simple to get ice cubes here. To put it in a bad-sounding sentence, it doesn't take much effort at all, and naturally it's not a waste!"

What he said was quite calm, but it exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.

This time.

Not only Li Shimin, but also Cheng Yaojin and others began to look a little unsightly.

Good guy.

They are so concerned about the ice cubes that they are even flocking to them, but it turns out that it doesn't seem like that at all to others.

Nothing is more irritating than this situation. Of course, Li Shimin's face became even more ugly.

Even though he was very satisfied with Li Jian and the young man in front of him, it didn't mean that he, the emperor, could be easily deceived.

For thousands of years, only emperors and a limited number of people have been able to enjoy ice cubes in summer, and they have to pay a considerable price.

He is willing to believe in other things, but this kind of thing that has become a conclusion is almost impossible to happen. Things that he regards as treasures are completely ignored by others.

Faced with this situation, everyone would feel quite uncomfortable, let alone Li Shimin is still the emperor.

"Isn't that too much to say?" Before Li Shimin could react, Yuchi Jingde felt a little unsteady.

Coincidentally, just a few days ago, he expressed his emotion in public. If he could enjoy ice cubes quietly in summer, he would consider driving for him no matter what.

Originally, this was nothing, and his behavior was also natural, but in this situation, it seems a bit ridiculous in retrospect.

"Even His Majesty the Emperor spares use of things like ice cubes. Do you mean that this place is completely comparable to the Imperial Palace?"

"Young people, don't be too arrogant, many things are not as simple as you think!" Cheng Yaojin also stood up at this time, wanting to smooth things over.

after all.

He was quite satisfied with Qi Jimei, and he could tell that the emperor liked her very much.

There is absolutely no need to delay this guy's future because of such a small problem.

Of course Li Shimin understood Cheng Yaojin's thoughts, deliberately gave the other party a step down, and looked at him silently.

As long as Qi Jimei apologizes in public now and expresses that he was outspoken just now, the whole matter will be over, and it is impossible for him to continue to pursue it.

however.

What everyone didn't expect was that Qi Jimei had no intention of acknowledging them at all, but instead looked at them innocently, "What the villain said is the truth!"

"When His Highness was here, the scale used was more than that. Things like ice cubes are really nothing to His Highness!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin couldn't help it immediately!

Feeling that he values ​​Li Jian so much that everyone feels that he can use this as a shield?

Even the guy in front of him wanted to pull him out as an excuse.

If there is nothing to say about this, how should I face the world in the future?

"Presumptuous!" Li Shimin scolded angrily.

"Do you all think that as long as Li Jian is brought out, I will not say anything immediately?"

"Even if he is standing in front of me now, I still say the same thing. What is so extravagant and wasteful for such a precious thing? After owning the world, do you want to spend like this?"

"And you... you're just the guard here now, so you know how to use your master as an excuse. If you take another position in the future, you will have to be lawless?"

in fact.

For people like Cheng Yaojin, hearing Li Shimin's reprimand, not only did they not have any dissatisfaction in their hearts, but they were secretly happy for Li Jian.

They are all people who know the emperor well. If he didn't value Li Jian and wanted him to do more, there would be no need for him to be as hysterical as he is now.

As the saying goes, the depth of love... the depth of hate!

Qi Jimei felt a little wronged...

Obviously everything he said is true, but now he still faces such doubts.

but.

As the saying goes, facts speak louder than words. When everything was presented in front of the emperor, he naturally understood that he was not lying.

Thinking of this, Qi Jimei immediately asked someone to bring a big wooden basin and wooden barrel respectively.

at the same time.

Fill both the tub and barrel with water, and place the barrel in the middle of the tub.

When doing this, Li Shimin and the others looked confused, completely unaware of what this guy was doing

Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened and he stared at Qi Jimei's every move, for fear that he might miss some details.

After finishing all this, Qi Jimei personally took the saltpeter from the servant, and slowly put it into the water in the tub.

As the saltpeter melted little by little, the water in the wooden basin gradually turned white, and then, while everyone was dumbfounded, the water in the wooden basin directly turned into ice cubes.

Over time, the wooden barrels placed in the tubs also began to change.

finally.

All the water turned into white ice cubes, which looked quite spectacular in such a hot environment with constant air-conditioning.

The place is quiet!
Whether it was Li Shimin or Cheng Yaojin and the others, looking at the ice cubes in the wooden basin and barrel in front of them, they felt extremely unreal.

To know.

Whether it is windy or rainy, or hot and cold, these are all the arts of nature, which is the will of God that they often refer to.

As the saying goes, God's will cannot be violated. No one dares to believe that anyone in the world can accomplish things only by relying on God's will. Especially in this era, this kind of thinking is quite serious.

And now.

They watched Qi Jimei helplessly, forcibly turning the water in the wooden basin and barrel into ice cubes in a very short period of time.

Compared with this place, the painstaking efforts in the palace to preserve the ice cubes left over from last winter really look like a joke.

It was no wonder that Qi Jimei had the reaction just now. He could make ice cubes so casually, which meant that he didn't need to worry about the supply of ice cubes at all.

With this as a premise, the behavior of the other party just now is also reasonable.

Li Shimin thought that if he had such means, he would be even more arrogant than Qi Jimei.

"Your Majesty, this is the method His Highness taught the villain. As long as there is water and saltpeter, ice cubes can be made anytime and anywhere. According to His Highness, this is actually nothing!" Qi Jimei said to Li Shimin calmly.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment of the atmosphere, he also specially explained that the water in direct contact with the saltpeter turned into ice cubes, which must not be eaten by humans.

That's why he used a wooden barrel to partition it...
