Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 28
Chapter 36
Money is a good thing, but it's a pity that Li Chengqian is in short supply.

If Qianzhou wanted to get rich, it had to introduce businessmen.

Although ice cream has caused an uproar in Qianzhou, it melts easily and cannot be sold elsewhere.

Or... Li Chengqian didn't want to tell how to make ice cubes, otherwise, Qianzhou would not be able to compete with other cities at all.

In this case, the ice cream business in Qianzhou can only be sold internally, and there is no way to attract external funds.

What Li Chengqian wants to earn is not the money of the people in Qianzhou, but the money of other counties.

No, for the sake of money, Li Chengqian brought the three of Yu Shui and wanted to ask them how to make money.

"Grandpa Li, you said you want to make money..." Yu Shui pondered, "There is only so much money in Qianzhou. If His Highness wants to make money, he can only think of a way to get out of Qianzhou."

"That's right, Qianzhou is already poor, and everyone can't make much money. In the past, our three major families shipped goods to other cities to sell." Xu Cong also said.

Li Chengqian asked: "Now, do you have any good ideas?"

There are specialties in the art industry, and this kind of profitable business depends on these businessmen.

The three of Yu Shui looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Grandpa Li can sell us the method of making ice cubes."

"Yo heh..."

Li Chengqian looked at them with a half-smile, "So they are waiting for me here."

The three of them laughed, and Yu Shui continued: "Grandpa Li, with all due respect, although the method of making ice cubes is miraculous, it is completely useless if you keep it in your hands. If you give it to us, we will Can sell ice cream to the entire Tang Dynasty!"

"At that time, you can still get the third-tier profit, and the third-tier profit at that time will cost more money."

Hearing Yu Shui's words, Li Chengqian frowned slightly, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

This guy is right. Although ice cream can attract many customers, it has great limitations because it melts too fast.

However, if ice cream can be extended to the entire Tang Dynasty, it will definitely be a cornucopia.

But the crux of the matter is...

"If you run away with the method of making ice cubes, wouldn't my father-in-law suffer a heavy loss?"

"... "

Hearing this sentence, the three of Yu Shui were shocked.

The brain circuit of this Mr. Li... is really strange.

This can't be blamed on Li Chengqian, mainly because he has seen too much darkness in the mall before, and there are many people who donated money and escaped.

However, he ignored a reality.

This is Datang, even if they want to run, where can they go?

As long as Li Chengqian gave an order, the three of Yu Shui could not stay in Datang any longer.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, although the Tang Dynasty did not suppress merchants like other dynasties, it could not change their humble status.

This is a very deformed chain of contempt. Farmers and workers sometimes can't even afford food, but on the spiritual level, they can ruthlessly despise those wealthy households who are so rich.

"Grandpa Li, even if you give us a hundred courage, we wouldn't dare to lie to you." Yu Shui said earnestly, "The world is so big, could it be Wang Tu, your surname is Li, where can we go?"

Li Chengqian rubbed his chin, "How about this, let's write a contract to be safe."

"Okay, Mr. Li, what you say is what you say."

The three of Yu Shui were helpless, but in order to get the method of making ice cubes, they still had to agree.

"Before writing the contract, let's talk about the price." Li Chengqian said.

Yu Shui stretched out a finger, "300 taels!"

"Okay!" Li Chengqian patted the table, "The three Patriarchs are really generous, so it's a deal, 3000 taels!"

"No ..."

The three of Yu Shui were in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "It's 300 taels..."

"That's right, 3000 taels!"

"... "

Looking at Li Chengqian who was pretending to be stupid, the three of Yu Shui looked at each other, and finally...

"Oh, Mr. Li, you said 3000 taels, let's take 3000 taels."

Now they have seen through it, this Mr. Li is for money, but he doesn't care about food.

If he gets anxious, it is possible to add a few thousand taels.

"Come on, the contract, my father-in-law has stamped it, now it's time for you to sign it." Li Chengqian took out a piece of paper as if by magic.

"...Grandpa Li, this..."

The three of Yu Shui were dumbfounded.

"Cough cough..."

Li Chengqian grinned, "Well, I was bored last night, so I wrote the contract. I didn't expect it to come in handy today."

The three of them smiled bitterly, knowing that they had been fooled again.

"Come, come, sign."

Li Chengqian was much more enthusiastic now.

Yu Shui, Xu Cong, and Ren Qing each signed their names on the contract.

"Okay, here, this is how to make ice. As for ice cream, I believe you all know how to do it?"

As Li Chengqian said, he handed them a piece of paper.

The three of them started to scramble, Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing lightly seeing them in a hurry, "This is the only way, if it breaks, it's gone."

The movements of the three of them froze at the same time, and then Yu Shui said: "I am the oldest in our grade, I should keep this thing!"

"Nonsence!"

Ren Qing and Xu Cong spat at him at the same time, "What are you, relying on the old to sell the old?"

"Whom this piece of paper is given to, you can fight slowly, but the money must be sent later, 3000 taels, one tael must not be less!"

"it is good!"

The three of Yu Shui are like roosters, you stare at me and I stare at you.

As for the piece of paper, it was in Yu Sai's hands.

Xu Cong and Ren Qing wanted to grab it, but they were afraid of breaking the paper, so they could only stare aside.

The two surrounded Yu Shui in the middle, one on the left and the other on the right, because they were afraid that he would sneak away.

Looking at their backs, Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Zhuge Liang came out from the side and asked curiously: "Grandpa Li, can you really make ice?"

"It's a very simple matter." Li Chengqian shrugged his shoulders, and then pulled Zhuge Liang to the study next to him.

On the table, there was a piece of parchment, and on the parchment, something similar to a toilet was drawn.

"Zhuge Liang, what is the most important thing in winter?" Li Chengqian asked.

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, "Keep warm?"

"you are right!"

Li Chengqian nodded, "Don't talk about other times, just from the first year of Zhenguan to the 16th year of Zhenguan last year, there were a total of 25 winters, and more than [-] people died of freezing in the Tang Dynasty."

"This is still a lucky situation. For example, in the third year of Wude, a heavy snow swept the entire Tang Dynasty. In that winter, 10,000+ people died."

"So, keeping out the cold in winter has become a big problem!"

Zhuge Liang was puzzled, "It is true that keeping out the cold has been a problem since ancient times, but Mr. Li, how can you solve this problem?"

Li Chengqian stretched out two fingers, "Now I have two solutions."

"The first one is kapok. Cotton clothes can be made from kapok, which is absolutely warm to wear. However, kapok is not common, and it is only common in Western Region countries such as Gaochang."

Kapok was introduced to China during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but it is rarely used to keep out the cold except for viewing.

But the key problem is... this cotton is not good-looking, so few people in the Tang Dynasty grow it.

"The second way is coal, which is available in many places, including in Qianzhou, but whether it can be dug out depends on luck."

"... "

Zhuge Liang was silent for a while, then said quietly: "Grandpa Li, then the two methods you thought of are useless?"

Li Chengqian blinked his big eyes, and said cutely: "Yeah!"

"... "
