Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Du Ruhui sighed inwardly, and followed behind Li Shimin.

The three of them walked out of South Street, got into the carriage, and drove around to East Street.

The East Street is not so lively, but the buildings and mansions gradually become grand and luxurious.

This is the rich area!

Some wealthy and powerful people in Wuling County live here.

Not long after, the carriage stopped at the entrance of a luxurious and stately mansion.

There are two adult-high stone lions at the door, showing the extraordinaryness of the host.

The three got out of the car.

Li Shimin looked at the surrounding environment and nodded subconsciously.

Clean and spacious roads, luxurious mansions, and a comfortable environment.

If South Street is full of life, then this is a quiet and peaceful residential area.

Soon, Li Shimin noticed that the mansion directly in front of where he and others were standing was outrageously luxurious.

There is a plaque hanging above the center of the entrance, on which are written two flying golden characters: Fangfu!

"Master Fang, this isn't your home, is it?"

Du Ruhui also noticed this, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

The mansion in front of me feels solemn and heroic from the door, which is not too much.

However, it occupies a huge area, which may be comparable to the Duke's Mansion in Chang'an City.

The mansion of a local county magistrate is comparable to the mansion of an important official of the imperial court. What kind of situation is this?

"Exactly, please come inside."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly, and walked in front.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, both of them looked a little ugly.

Such a mansion is of extraordinary value, it is actually the home of a county magistrate, and his salary cannot be bought in ten lifetimes.

At this moment, Li Shimin, who wanted to promote Fang Yuan as the governor, began to regret, and also regretted that he shouldn't have stopped Du Ruhui from proposing whether or not people from the Ministry of Punishment should come to investigate last night.

Will this kind of official put the people first? ?

Chapter 14 Nine-story Mohist Research Institute

Fang Yuan just walked into the mansion.

Two twenty-eight-year-old girls Yingying came.

The two wore simple clothes, one red and one blue, and their style was very different from that of ordinary people.

They are all wearing a part of the upper body to reveal the small belly, and a part of the lower body to reveal the long legs.

Their beautiful legs are warm and fair, slender and pretty, and their belly is full, without a trace of excess fat.

"Master, you are back."

The two girls were on the left and the right, their voices were as crisp as silver bells, and their smiles were sweet.

"Go and boil water to entertain the distinguished guests."

Fang Yuan nodded slightly, said calmly.

The two girls hummed and left obediently, their backs were charming.

"Fang Xianzun, the two girls just now are not Han Chinese, are they?"

Du Ruhui came to Fang Yuan's side in a few steps.

Looking at the backs of the two girls leaving, they couldn't take their eyes off.

Women in the Tang Dynasty dressed more revealingly than women in previous dynasties, but they have never seen such attractive clothes.

The half-exposed abdomen and long legs were exposed, and the two girls were of superior appearance, which really made Du Ruhui take a few more glances.

Li Shimin, who was a few steps slower, couldn't take his eyes off, and he had already decided in his heart to let the maids dress like this after returning to the palace.

But it is more worried about Fang Yuan, worried that officials like Fang Yuan will not only put the common people first, but will even rob the common people by force.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin thought that on the day of the bidding, Fang Yuan even called the oiran from the brothel to attend the massage, such behavior made him regret the bet with Fang Yuan.

"Butler Du has a discerning eye."

"They are women from the Western Regions who are in distress. They claim to be some kind of royal family, just to increase their social status."

Fang Yuan laughed.

Walk towards the direction of the backyard.

Hong Xu and Qing Yan met among the refugees four years ago.

At that time, they had just moved into the Fang Mansion, and the people in the mansion were few and deserted, so they selected a few people from among the refugees to move in.

The two sisters volunteered, and they looked shrewd, so Fang Yuan recruited them and stayed until now.

"Women from the Western Regions are really different."

Du Ruhui nodded his head, as if that was the case.

He has also seen women from the Western Regions in the palace, but they are not as good-looking as Fang Yuan and these two.

The three of them walked into the backyard and walked for a while. During this time, two guards were guarding the entrance of the passage.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were surprised to see such a closely guarded Fang Mansion. They couldn't understand why so many people were guarding such a small mansion.

Finally, the three of them came to the entrance of a large courtyard.

The guards at the gate of this courtyard were even stricter, and the number of them changed to four.

There are five penetrating characters on the courtyard: Mohist Research Institute.

"The Mohist Research Institute is here?"

Li Shimin asked with a strange expression.

The Mohist Research Institute, which allowed Wuling County to develop in a short period of time, is actually in the Fang Mansion?

I thought it was so tall, but I didn't expect it to be at home, and the layout instantly felt a lot lower.

"That's right, it's here."

Fang Yuan didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking, so he brought the two of them inside.

Once in, Li Shimin and Du Ruhui noticed the difference here.

It looks like a tower, or a star-observing building. It is extremely huge. It covers an area of ​​several acres, and it is as high as nine floors.

Because the Fangfu occupies a huge area, and the interior design of the Fangfu has its own universe, so the Mohist Research Institute may be found inside and outside the Fangfu.

"It turns out that there is a universe inside."

Li Shimin's complexion changed slightly.

The number of nine poles has been associated with the emperor since ancient times.

Use by non-emperors may bring disasters to themselves.

Fang Yuan, this Mohist research institute is suspected of being disrespectful, which makes Li Shimin dissatisfied.

"Fang Xianzun, if you can use the Nine Numbers, you don't need them. Why are you so unwise?"

Du Ruhui also thought of this.

At the same time, he also noticed the change in Li Shimin's face.

In fact, when he calculated the ninth floor of the attic, his face changed slightly, and he looked at Li Shimin.

"Hahaha... A misunderstanding, indeed a misunderstanding."

"During the construction, there was a problem with the project. There is a first floor above the ninth floor, which is smaller than these, so you can't see it."

Fang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed.

He didn't think of this, and he also thought that the two were representatives of the Imperial Merchant, so let me explain by the way.

Then Fang Yuan walked into the pavilion.

Li Shimin's expression returned to normal after listening, and he followed Fang Yuan into the pavilion.

"There are a total of eighteen research rooms here, and each research room is different."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

Then push open the first door.

Everything in the room was displayed before the eyes of the three of them.

The room as a whole is white, and the people who come and go are also wearing white clothes.

They were working separately, that is, when the door was opened, there were a few people watching over, and the others were working, and they didn't salute Fang Yuan's arrival.

There is a lot of space, with a desk, tea drinking facilities, and some separate rooms.

"Eighteen research rooms?"

Li Shimin murmured, looking at everything in front of him.

After hearing eighteen, he immediately thought of his own literature museum.

There are also eighteen in his own literature museum, but these eighteen are all human beings, all of whom are world-renowned bachelors.

For example, Du Ruhui next to him is one of the great scholars of the Literature Museum, and he is still the top one.

"Is this... ice cubes??"

Du Ruhui noticed ice cubes in the sink in the distance at first glance.

They were floating on the water, and a large part had melted, it must have been a while.

Li Shimin quickly followed up, approached the sink, and picked up some crushed ice in surprise.

cold!

pain!

Really ice cubes!

So, as the owner of the iced watermelon said, the ice is produced by the Mohist Research Institute?

"Fang Yuan, can the Mohist Institute make ice out of thin air?"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

This was really too shocking for him.

In winter, the temperature is cold, so the water turns into ice.

But the weather is hot in summer, how could there be ice abnormally?

Du Ruhui on the side also looked at Fang Yuan, his eyes were full of curiosity and shock.

"Boss Li, it is impossible to make ice out of thin air."

"But ice is made of water, we just need to use a little trick."

Fang Yuan laughed.

Immediately, in the eyes of Li Shimin and Du Ruhui, Fang Yuan filled a ladle with some water, walked to the place where the saltpeter was stored, estimated the amount and put it into the ladle.

"Zi..."

A puff of smoke came out.

Both Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were startled and took a step back.

However, what shocked both of them was that the water in the scoop turned into ice! ! !

"This, this, is so amazing?!"

Li Shimin and Li Shimin both exclaimed, unable to believe what they saw.

The two took the ladle in Fang Yuan's hand, touched the ice inside, felt cold and painful, which convinced them that it was really ice.
