"What do you mean by that?" The emperor also believed that Jiang Xiaobai didn't dare to play tricks on himself, and asked curiously, "Could it be that this stone is different from the stone outside?" ”

"It's no different!" Jiang Xiaobai said, "However, these stones are the best quality of those stones outside. ”

The emperor said, "What is the use of this thing?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai pointed to the big iron pot and said, "May I ask Your Majesty, if you want to boil this pot of seawater dry, how much firewood do you need?" ”

The emperor, who once supervised the production of distilled water, replied, "Let alone ten loads of firewood." ”

"Back to Your Majesty!" Yingquan said, "Ten loads of firewood are only a lot more!" ”

"Good!" Jiang Xiaobai said, "Then you only need a few of these stones to boil this pot of water, do you believe it or not?" ”

"Bold Demon Dao!" A minister said sharply, "How can a stone burn, do you also want to learn from that traitorous minister Zhao Gao, pointing to the deer as a horse to deceive Your Majesty!" ”

"Don't be impatient!" The Emperor waved his hand to stop him, and said in thought, "Immortal, can you demonstrate it?" ”

"No problem!" Jiang Xiaobai said, "However, I came alone and couldn't carry enough stones, so I asked Your Majesty to send someone to go and collect as many stones as possible to come back." ”

"Good!" The emperor immediately ordered the guards to go outside the city to collect stones, and at the same time, he curiously observed Jiang Xiaobai's stone, and thought to himself, this is the stone that plops, and it is not the first time he has seen it.

After a long story, it didn't take long for the guards to quickly whip a lot of coal with the same look, Jiang Xiaobai found a vertical palm like a knife, knocked all the stones into pieces of different sizes, first added some firewood to the stove, lit it, and then put in small stones after the fire rose, and after a while, the small stones were ignited, and then, he threw in larger stones until they were full.

Seeing that the stones could really be burned, everyone regarded Jiang Xiaobai as a celestial, and they couldn't make a sound!

"This ...... This and this...... "The emperor stammered," the immortal ...... Immortals...... What kind of spell is this? ”

"It's not a spell!" Jiang Xiaobai slowly placed the porcelain jar under the drainage bamboo tube and explained, "It is a stone that can be burned, and I named it 'Qin Coal'." ”

"Qin Coal?" The emperor wondered, "How to write this coal character?" ”

Jiang Xiaobaiyun pointed like a knife, wrote the word seal coal on the ground, and then said: "I invented this word, because this stone is nameless, but it can burn, so it is from the fire from a certain person, a certain person, unknown also." ”

"Sure enough, it's a fairy!" Everyone was amazed, and they no longer dared to doubt Jiang Xiaobai's ability.

Ying Quan even whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, could it be that this immortal is transformed from the Fire De Xingjun, and he is here to rescue Great Qin?" ”

The emperor was shocked, and his eyes were fixed on Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai was deaf and clear-sighted, and he was happy to let them misunderstand, and continued: "Daqin is full of this kind of stone, if it is mined in large quantities, it can not only be used as fuel to exchange food and drinking water for other countries, but also can be used to boil salt, and even to produce distilled water, you think about it, what a wealth this is, isn't it a treasure?" ”

The crowd seemed to see the useless stones exchanged for mountains of grain, and their eyes were red with excitement.

The emperor suppressed his excitement and said, "Immortal, this furnace stone ...... No, can this furnace of Qin coal really dry this pot of seawater? ”

"More than enough!" Jiang Xiaobai smiled, "Let's wait and see!" ”

"Good!" The emperor didn't care about the heat, turned around the stove, and saw that the fire not only did not weaken, but became stronger and stronger, and at the same time, the distilled water dripped into the porcelain jar, making a pleasing ding dong sound, sweeping away the decadence and worry, it was simply better than the most beautiful fairy music in the world, and his heart totaled, with this stone that can be burned, even if he doesn't sell it, it can continuously produce a large amount of distilled water, which is really the blessing of Daqin...... It must have been my sincerity that moved Heaven to send such a man of God to help me get out of this predicament!

Thinking about it, more than an hour has passed, and the seawater in the pot has evaporated a little bit under the raging fire, and Jiang Xiaobai is still adding water to the pot, but the fire has no tendency to weaken at all.

"This furnace of Qin coal can burn for about four or five hours." During the observation, Jiang Xiaobai said, "If you want to continue burning, you have to add Qin coal one after another......"

"Someone, someone—" Before Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, the emperor shouted at the top of his voice, "Let's go collect a large amount of Qin coal again, and at the same time get some seawater!" ”

"Whoa!"

"Whew-"

Outside the temple should be like a tide.

The emperor walked around eagerly, and suddenly said, "Also, let the craftsman make a few more stoves like this, I want to personally test the magic of Qin coal!" ”

"......"

"Qin coal, Qin coal......" The emperor rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "Good coal, good words, good baby!" Come to people, enjoy 100 immortals and beauties, 10 jars of fine wine, 5 cans of drinking water, 10,000 taels of gold, 1,000 horses of BMW, and so on. ”

He was still about to speak, but Ying Quan reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the immortals don't look down on these mundane things, right?" ”

"Huh?" Only then did the emperor react and subconsciously asked, "Then what is the reward?" ”

"Your Majesty forgives you." Ying Quan reminded, "This immortal is likely to be the lower realm of the Fire De Star Monarch, Your Majesty can't say 'reward', you have to say 'offer', and there is also that it is disrespectful to the immortal to sacrifice ordinary things, and he should be built a temple, set up a tablet of immortality, and receive incense from all the people, so as to show his merits, and bless my Great Qin with eternal prosperity and boundlessness!" ”

"Oh!" The emperor's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again, "Reasonable, it is my negligence that almost offended the immortals, okay, you will do it yourself!" ”

"Wow......" Ying Quan breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside.

Jiang Xiaobai originally thought it was funny, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu is not dead, you will build a temple for me, and also set up an immortal tablet, can you exaggerate more? But there is no intention of stopping it. It's just a pity that there are a hundred beauties, if they are all cowards, wouldn't they be a groom every night?

It was almost evening, the water in the iron pot was finally boiled dry, and the person who went to fetch water for the second time had not come back, Jiang Xiaobai immediately took off the iron pot with the steamer, and looked at it, the coal in the furnace was still there, and then he opened the steamer in front of everyone, only to see a layer of gray-white objects condensed at the bottom of the pot, and said: "This is the refined sea salt, you see, what is the difference between it and natural coarse salt?" ”

Yingquan was clever, handed the iron spoon that had been prepared a long time ago to the emperor, the emperor shoveled out a small piece of salt, observed it, and said yes, and then put it into his mouth, smashed it a few times, and said: "Such a white refined salt, I have seen it for the first time, good, delicious, it is simply a peerless delicacy!" ”

It's not delicious, it's 'salty' or not, this old man......

"I'll taste it, I'll taste it......" Everyone grabbed the shovel with all hands and feet, and they couldn't wait to send it to their mouths, even the ancestors and grandchildren of the Shui family, if Jiang Xiaobai hadn't pulled the water girl, the little beauty's hands would have been burned.

"Give it to me, I want it, I want it......" The little beauty was so anxious that she jumped up and down, but she couldn't break free from Jiang Xiaobai's embrace, she didn't know, she thought she had a fever!

Jiang Xiaobai took advantage of the chaos and whispered in a low voice: "What is delicious about salt, wait a minute, I have something good for you to eat." ”

The water girl said ignorantly: "What kind of good thing?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled: "It's hot soy milk, do you want to eat it?" ”

The water girl stiffened, looked at everyone secretly, nodded subconsciously with a blood-dripping little face, but said in her mouth: "Immortals are also so bad......"

"It's hot!"

"It's salty!"

"What coal! ……”

After tasting, the whole audience is frying!

In the noisy atmosphere, Jiang Xiaobai was worshiped like a god, but the water girl secretly poured the half pot of distillation into the leather bag she carried with her, hiding behind Jiang Xiaobai, her eyes were rolling around like a thief, for fear of being seen and stealing fun.

That night, the emperor used the Three Treasures according to the method Jiang Xiaobai said, which was indeed well deserved. Although these three treasures are not enough to reverse the disaster caused by the drought in a short period of time, in the near future, Daqin will definitely be able to get out of the predicament and the country will prosper.

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, Jiang Xiaobai thinks so and does so. It's just that Jiang Xiaobai can't guess that this is obviously a game, why is it a day and a night, and he is still in the game, and he can't feel the existence of the remote control board at all, that feeling, as if he really traveled to ancient times, and he will never go back.

"Hmm, tap ......"

At night, Jiang Xiaobai hid in the dormitory and nibbled on xiaolongbao, and the water girl was shy and timid, reserved but actively enjoying it.

The xiaolongbao has turned into a small steamed bun, Jiang Xiaobai gnawed it with relish, and while eating, he played and observed, and said with a smile: "It's only been a few days, it's so big?" ”

The water girl dodged weakly—it's better to dodge, than to say that she wanted to refuse and welcome—and said shamefully, "Oh, I'm ashamed to die." ”

"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Xiaobai smiled evilly, "There are only me and you in this dormitory, no one dares to come in without my promise, how about it, how does it feel to turn Xiaolongbao into a small steamed bun?" ”

"Hmm......" The water girl lowered her head, bit her lip stubbornly, and let Jiang Xiaobai make it bad.

At this time, the sound of the guards kneeling was heard in his ears, and Jiang Xiaobai sighed: "The emperor is here!" ”

The water girl lost her face, hurriedly tidied up her gown, and stood aside in a regular manner, but the blush did not subside, and she was charming and moving.

"Meet the Immortals!" The emperor walked in after getting Jiang Xiaobai's permission.

Jiang Xiaobai raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty is exempt." ”

The emperor looked up at the water girl and seemed to have something to say.

Jiang Xiaobai had no choice but to wave her hand to let the water girl wait outside, and said, "Say it!" ”

"Return to the immortals!" The emperor said, "I have issued an order to mine Qin coal, and at the same time sent envoys to neighboring countries to exchange Qin coal for grain and water, and in time, with the increase of distilled water and the support of surplus grain, Great Qin will be able to survive the difficulties......"

"Governing the country is your business, and it has nothing to do with me!" Jiang Xiaobai said impatiently, "The next task has been completed, and I will be ready to return to Penglai tomorrow......"

"No!" The emperor interrupted, "Can Great Qin completely get out of the predicament, and still have the support and guidance of the immortals, how can the immortals leave at this time of national disaster?" Also, in fact, ......" he was on his own.

Jiang Xiaobai stretched out his voice and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The emperor gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "The immortal's mana is boundless, can you see me again?" ”

"Sick?" Jiang Xiaobai frowned and said, "You are just old, and you are working day and night on state affairs, which has dragged your body down, as long as the country is prosperous and you take good care of it, you will naturally be free of illness and disaster." ”

"But......" said the Emperor, blushing, "I ...... I didn't ...... No heirs......"
