Li Shimin watched the basin of water freeze into ice little by little, he directly put his hand into the basin, broke through the ice, touched the saltpeter at the bottom, felt the cold spreading in his hand, and slowly withdrew his hand in a daze.

Glaring incredulously, "That's it?" Can it freeze? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, so that it will freeze." The butler was very excited, and there was eagerness in his eyes.

Li Shimin frowned, there were still quite few people who were happy in front of him, and this housekeeper almost wrote the words "want to make meritorious service" on his face.

"Li Chuan, that kid asked you to come?" Li Shimin squinted his eyes and began to reflect, did he suddenly go blind when he chose someone? How could you choose such a thing for that kid?!

A person who has no score in his heart and thinks of what to do, and a housekeeper who doesn't know the depth and rushes for credit, how do you think it is a mess.

The butler hesitated for a moment, and then immediately said, "Yes, the county lord asked the slave to offer it." ”

He had thought about cutting off his beard, but he only thought about it for a few seconds, not to mention others, he himself didn't believe that he could make a way to make ice, such a magical method could be made by no one other than the visitor who came a thousand years later.

I'm not afraid to lie, but the lie is so obvious that people can see through it at a glance, and it's not interesting.

Li Shimin nodded slowly, looked at Wang Dehai and said, "That's it, let him go back to the palace, you can arrange the position." ”

As soon as Wang Dehai saw Li Shimin's expression, he understood that this idiot was patting the horse's legs, so he immediately responded, and didn't look at the kneeling under Xie En, thinking that he had picked up a cheap housekeeper who was stealing fun.

At this time, the palace gate was closed, and it happened that the housekeeper didn't have to go back, Wang Dehai first arranged for him to go to the previous place to live, and when he came back, he saw Li Shimin squatting there to study the pot of ice.

One moment he reached out to touch it, and the other he looked for something to smash twice.

Wang Dehai quickly looked away, never admitting that he felt that the emperor's IQ was offline for a moment just now.

"It's really sturdy." Li Shimin muttered: "But, why? ”

He couldn't figure it out, put saltpeter in the water and it would freeze? Why didn't anyone find out before?!

Wang Dehai breathed lightly and tried to reduce his sense of existence, this kind of question he couldn't answer.

Li Shimin stood up, with a tangled face and a kind of helplessness that couldn't cry or laugh, "This kid will always surprise you inadvertently." ”

Of course, it may also be frightened, but Li Shimin subconsciously ignored this possibility.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the problem of using ice can be solved." There is always not enough ice in the palace, and the master is okay to say, but not elsewhere.

Even if he is the general manager, most of them have to rub the emperor's ice to use.

"You know the method, just pass it on." Li Shimin said with a smile, this is to agree that the ice-making method can be used at will.

It's like movable type printing, and now the method has spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and the notices posted by the government can be used as long as it is a printing workshop, which makes the Cui family a little bit up and down, and the price is not much, but there are a lot of complaints.

When the notice was issued, the emperor emphatically indicated that it was shared by the county magistrates of Jingyang for free, which made a small wave of businessmen's favor for Li Chuan increase sharply.

I don't think it's going to be a few days later, and this kind of goodwill will spread.

After all, the method of making ice, as well as the weaving machine, are all intended to be shared without money.

Even with Wang Dehai's current vision, he can't do Li Chuan who doesn't seek fame and fortune.

Li Shimin asked people to put the ice basin beside him, and when he looked at the excerpt, he always felt amazing.

Li Chuan, who had just finished eating in the mansion, didn't come back, and he felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't care too much, just forget it if he didn't come back, he watched Song Shi, and went to sleep directly when he saw that it was dark.

He was greeted early the next morning by Xu Jingzong's featureless face.

"It's so early." Li Chuan was speechless, was he afraid that he would run away?!

"It's not early, the adults are going to the court." Xu Jingzong smiled, and his words were very gentle, but the meaning was not gentle at all.

Is this saying he wakes up late?!

Li Chuan raised his wrist and looked at his watch, obviously it was not yet seven o'clock, well, compared to the previous court, he was much late.

"Have you had breakfast? Then I won't invite you, go to the living room for a cup of tea and wait for me. Li Chuan wiped his face with a towel and said.

The corners of Xu Jingzong's mouth twitched slightly, do you have tea at home, don't you have a point in your heart? Chase people away, and it's so nice.

Li Chuan finished his breakfast slowly, it was almost eight o'clock, Xu Jingzong had already drunk several glasses of boiled water, and he was running to the toilet at this time.

"What do you think we should do now?" Li Chuan touched his chin and said: "I have to enter the palace in the evening, so I can't go too far today, and the current situation is not suitable for going to the suburbs of Beijing to toss any fire kang, so how about we go to soup porridge?" ”

Do something good, maybe there will be a good reward?!

"My lord is benevolent and righteous, and I don't have any opinions." Xu Jingzong first affirmed Li Chuan's kindness, and then asked another question, "Is the adult's money enough for soup kitchen?" ”

Li Chuan: "......" is not enough, he is poor!

"Uh, why don't you have less porridge?" Doing good deeds is big or small, right?!

Xu Jingzong still smiled gently: "So you can't bear to let half of the people watch the other half eat porridge, but they are hungry?" ”

Li Chuan: "......" Is this guy a barbar?!

"It's better than leaving everyone hungry, right?" Li Chuan was a little unconfident.

He still has some money in his hand, that is, it takes a lot of money to clean up the mansion and build a villa, which is also easy to do, and it is estimated that he will earn back some fine glass ornaments when the time comes.

"However, the county is now giving porridge, and the number of people who come to receive the porridge will definitely not be small, and it is even possible that it will be lined up from morning to evening, and people will not repeat it."

"What do you mean?" Li Chuan was confused.

"It means that now that the soup is given, the people who have extra money and can afford to buy food will not buy food, but will come to you to receive porridge to eat, although they may not be full, but they will definitely not starve to death."

Li Chuan touched his chin and thought, this is really the truth, but, "If you don't give porridge, won't the people who are really so poor that they can't afford to buy food starve to death?" ”

"Your Majesty will find a way to settle it." The smile on Xu Jingzong's face was very confident.

So everything depends on His Majesty Li Er?!

Li Chuan felt that something was strange, but he couldn't think of it for a while, so forget it, and look at the situation in two days.

"The slave has seen the county lord." A eunuch about fifty years old walked in at the gate of the main courtyard, looking a little serious and not easy to mess with.

Li Chuan nodded and asked, "Is Your Majesty an oracle?" ”

A fresh face and a eunuch must have come to deliver the decree.

"Nope." The serious eunuch looked at Li Chuan, "Your Majesty asked the slave maid to replace the previous housekeeper." ”

"Uh-oh." Li Chuan nodded stunned, replacing the previous housekeeper? This is a mistake made by the previous housekeeper?!

"That's okay, let's get acquainted with the environment first." Li Chuan faced this housekeeper with the feeling of facing the teaching director.

"Okay, the slave and maid will go around first, please wait for a while, Lord County." The stern eunuch turned around and began to scrutinize the main courtyard.

Li Chuan was stunned, so, this is what he means that he has to wait for him here?

Xu Jingzong tilted his head sideways and glanced at Li Chuan, the meaning in that glance was a bit complicated, and Li Chuan didn't analyze it.

After about ten minutes, the newly appointed housekeeper walked over, gave a salute, and said to Li Chuan: "Lord County, we should go and buy some people to come back." ”

"Is there a place to stay?" Li Chuan remembered that none of the guards in his courtyard could live.

"There's nowhere to get together and crowd, but the adults have to be around to serve."

"Complete? Are there any other indicators? "Why doesn't he know?!

The new housekeeper glanced at Li Chuan, stretched out his hand and said, "My lord, do you have any silver?" ”

Li Chuan looked at his hand for a long time, this person was stunned and did not move, which shows how firm his heart is to ask for money.

took out two silver tickets of 1,000 taels and patted them on the hands of the new butler, "If you lack anything, go buy it." ”

Li Chuan really doesn't think there is anything missing in the house, there are cooks, guards, and small silver and copper, what else is missing? !

The new housekeeper soon went out, Li Chuan turned his head to look at Xu Jingzong, and said, "Why don't we go out for a walk too?" Ah, let's go see Sun Daochang. ”

It seems that Sun Daochang is not in the Taoist temple, and he doesn't know where he has gone.

Xu Jingzong didn't have any opinions, anyway, His Majesty Li Er just asked him to follow Li Chuan, so follow it.

The two of them didn't ride horses, and they went out the door with a click.

Li Chuan also bought two straw hats at a small stall and put them on his head.

The two walked all the way to Qingdu Temple.

"Does Your Majesty know that Sun Daochang has arrived in Beijing?" After being silent for a while, Xu Jingzong asked out loud.

"You know." Li Chuan raised his head, generally His Majesty Li Er would know about him, so he had been in contact with Daochang Sun several times, and it didn't make sense that His Majesty didn't know.

Xu Jingzong nodded, "Daochang Sun is not necessarily in the Taoist temple, I heard that he likes to go to the village to treat the people. ”

"I know this, Sun Daochang is kind, and he is also accumulating experience." The more patients are healed, the more natural medicine skills will improve.

After all, patients have all kinds of diseases, they have seen a lot, and they have a wide range of knowledge.

"So we may not be able to find anyone today."

Li Chuan nodded, "It's okay, don't we have nothing to do?" ”

Xu Jingzong was silent, in fact, he had something to do, even if he was fine, looking at Shulala's connections was better than following this person around.

Xu Jingzong sighed in his heart, since the emperor ordered him to follow Li Chuan, he had not been smooth.

First Li Chuan was arrested, and after he came back, he was detained in the barracks, he couldn't get in, and General Qin didn't let him in.

Xu Jingzong couldn't help but have a feeling that he was going to be abolished, which really drained his fighting spirit.

If Li Chuan continues to live a leisurely life, he will become a salted fish.

Qingdu Guan was not far away, and the two chatted without a word, and it didn't take long for them to arrive.

The little Taoist boy at the door saw Li Chuan from a distance, so he ran towards the view.

Li Chuan suddenly had a bad feeling and stopped, but it was too late.

Soon, a group of Taoist priests rushed over and surrounded Li Chuan and Xu Jingzong.

"Li Daoyou, you are here, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Hurry up, come in, we have a lot of questions for Taoist friends to answer."

"The Lord is waiting for you, come quickly."

"Go in and sit, let's go and inform Daoist Yuan."

Li Chuan was dragged into the Taoist temple by force, but Xu Jingzong didn't pay attention to it, he just followed at the end in a little confusion.

"Eh, tap, wait, why am I a Taoist friend again?" Shouldn't it be a layman? He's not a Taoist.

"Fellow Daoist, several masters have discussed, and I think that you have to take the lead in cultivating merit, since you also cultivate merit, then you are also a member of our Taoist family, and you are naturally a Taoist friend."

Li Chuan: Is "......" so far-fetched?!

It seems that these Taoist priests really have a lot of ways to pull him into the Taoist family, right?!

"Ahem, you have a point, this time I came just to cultivate merit, now that our people in the Tang Dynasty have suffered a disaster, it is a good time for us to cultivate merit, and we will go up with porridge and medicine!"

All the Taoist priests were suddenly silent for a moment, looking at Li Chuan a little stunned.

It didn't take a few seconds to react, and they all responded.

"Fellow Daoist is right, this is our chance!"

"In this way, there is hope for cultivating merit!"

"Giving porridge to save people, this is a great good!"

All the Taoist priests were excited, and they wanted to do a big job.

Li Chuan's eyes were a little straight, God knew that he suddenly connected the matter of cultivating merit with the soup porridge that he pondered in the morning, and this result was ...... It was a bit of a surprise to him.

From this point of view, these Taoist priests really believed what he said about cultivating merit and becoming immortals?!

"Li Daoyou, we will arrange the soup kitchen, and Daoyou may as well come into the hall to sit." The Qingdu Guan Guan looked at it for a while, and finally spoke up, "We still have a lot of questions, and we want to ask Li Daoyou to answer them." ”

Li Chuan's heart froze, come on, he has to turn on the flicker mode again.

Surrounded by Taoist priests, he entered the temple and sat at the head of the left, only under the Lord.

Xu Jingzong also walked in silently, but found that there seemed to be no place for him.

These Taoist priests don't seem to have him in their eyes, is he so non-existent?!

In the end, it was the Guan Master who discovered Xu Jingzong and gave him a place to sit opposite Li Chuan.

"Li Daoyou, I don't know what you said about the god list last time, but did you tell us about it?" The Lord of the Qingdu has always remembered this incident for so long.

Originally, I said that I would come over in two or three days, but who knew that it would drag on for so long.

If Li Chuan didn't come again, he planned to come to the door.

"God List!" Li Chuan licked his lower lip, "Well, it's a bit long." ”

"It's okay, we're not afraid of long."

Oh, you're not afraid of me, so when will you talk about it?!

But let's tell the story, no one can replace him for the time being.

"Okay, let's talk about a short paragraph today, as the beginning, and the rest, let's talk about it slowly later." Li Chuan really read some of the god list, so it's okay to talk about the last paragraph.
