It's ugly!

Like a little monkey!

Li Chuan looked at Xiao Budian who was held in his arms by his grandmother with an expressionless face.

The mouth was wide open, and I didn't know what I wanted to do after howling for a long time, and the other facial features were all crowded together, red, and seriously, they were not as good-looking as a little monkey.

"Ninth brother, you are in good health." A touch of disgust flashed on Li Chengqian's face.

Brother or something, he hates it the most!

It's all troublesome, and none of them are worry-free.

In less than two minutes, Mama Grandma turned in with the crying little Li Zhi in her arms.

Li Chuan continued to be silent, he didn't want to speak, besides, it was not appropriate for him to say anything at this time.

"Millennial brought some gifts, Queen Mother, you can let people see it in a while, maybe the ninth brother can use it."

"Okay, you guys go and get busy, don't worry about me." Empress Eldest Sun was a little tired, so she simply drove people away.

"Then the queen mother, you rest." Li Chengqian twisted his eyebrows, pulled Li Chuan away, and muttered and complained on the way: "The stinky boy is also noisy, he should be thrown aside, you say he howls so much, how can my mother rest?!" ”

"This, probably just a habit?!" Li Chuan strained his face, feeling that Empress Eldest Sun, who had already given birth to so many children, didn't need others to worry about her.

Her own body, her own heart, knows it.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Chuan speechlessly, changed the topic and asked, "Are you going to see your father?" ”

"No, no." Li Chuan immediately refused, "I don't have anything to do, so I don't need to see Your Majesty." ”

"But I think my father wants to see you." Li Chengqian said quietly, his father and emperor did not look for his son as often as Li Chuan.

Should he be jealous? Or should I rejoice? It's still happy, in fact, he doesn't have to see his father to make him a lot easier.

"No, he doesn't want to." Li Chuan shook his head decisively, "If he wanted to, he would have summoned me a long time ago, right?" ”

Li Chengqian was silent for two seconds, and as soon as he opened his mouth to say something, he saw a little eunuch walking briskly in front of him.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince, I've seen the county lord, Your Majesty summoned the county lord, please ......"

Li Chuan: "......"

Li Chengqian: "...... Burst! "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.

Li Chuan turned his head to look at Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian shrugged his shoulders with an innocent face.

"Let's go." See you when you see it, anyway, the gift is gone, and he will definitely not give a second one.

When he arrived at Chongwen Palace, Wang Dehai was still standing at the door of the hall.

"Long time no see." Li Chuan said hello.

Wang Dehai looked at him expressionlessly.

Li Chuan touched his nose, he didn't know why, he seemed to have read the resentful emotion from the eyes of this prince? Fake, right?!

He must have been dazzled.

"Well, there's someone in there?" Li Chuan poked his head out of the door.

"Master Fang and Master Du are inside." Wang Dehai replied in a low voice.

"Oh, Your Majesty, how are you feeling?" Li Chuan secretly poked and probed.

Wang Dehai closed his mouth and looked at him expressionlessly.

Okay, this is not to say, Li Chuan had no choice, hesitated for two seconds, and walked in directly.

Li Shimin glanced at him and ignored him, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also saw that Li Chuan just nodded to him slightly, and then talked to Li Shimin again.

Li Chuan found a chair to sit on and listened to them.

The three of them were discussing when to put grain at a low price.

"Now letting the people go out into conscription can also solve some problems, but it is too hot and easy to get into the office, if this point is not taken into account, it will kill a lot of people." Du Ruhui was worried.

"The medicinal materials are not prepared in advance, but as long as you pay attention to them and let the doctor look at them often, it will not come to that point." Fang Xuanling pondered.

"Building roads is heavy work, plus the weather." Du Ruhui shook his head and said, "Let's put the cheap grain, and wait for the weather to be a little cooler, and then mention the matter of conscription." ”

"Affordable food can curb food prices, but the problem is that not all people can afford it."

"Many people are after paying taxes, and the remaining food is not enough to eat for a whole year, basically at this time, the food at home is gone, so they rely on picking wild vegetables and waiting for the autumn harvest."

"Now that the wild vegetables and food are gone, many people can only wait to die."

Li Shimin squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, and said: "Then put the parity grain first, wait for the price of grain to come down, and let the people who can afford it buy it, and if they can't afford it, just wait for the soup kitchen." ”

"Yes, the minister will go down and carry it out." Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui retired.

Li Chuan lowered his eyes, as if he was asleep.

Li Shimin looked at him for a long time, and when he saw that Li Chuan didn't move, he strode over and stretched out his hand to pat Li Chuan's head, "Boy, don't pretend to be asleep, believe it or not, I can make you so busy that you don't even have time to sleep?" ”

"Gracious Your Majesty, please keep your persona." Li Chuan looked a little wilted, wasn't it enough to be caught by Qin Qiong? Do you want to work for Li Er when you come back? Why is he so miserable?!

Li Shimin didn't understand his words a little, but the general meaning could still be understood.

Stretched out his leg and kicked him, and asked, "Have you been to see Xiao Jiu?" ”

"Yes, I've just come back to see you." Li Chuan stood up, although his standing posture was not standard, but at least he looked a little respectful.

"Now that I'm back, let's continue the class." Li Shimin glanced at the sky outside, "It's tomorrow." ”

"Yes." Li Chuan responded happily, but he couldn't push it off anyway.

"And Xu Jingzong, handed it over to you, but you didn't take him for a minute." Li Shimin squinted at Li Chuan.

Li Chuan scratched his head and asked puzzledly, "Is Your Majesty so optimistic about him?" ”

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, "According to your suggestion, his ability is there, as for character?" It doesn't matter, the villain has the usage of the villain, the gentleman has the usage of the gentleman, the employment is not good or bad, the most important thing is appropriate. ”

Li Chuan thought about it and felt that it seemed to make some sense to say this, but the emperor who dared to do this was not a good man, he must be the kind of person who had the confidence to control the court, as for whether it was a Ming Jun or not, it depended on whether the emperor himself wanted to be a Ming Jun or not.

"Weichen knows about it, and he will take him with him." Li Chuan's expression was tangled with promise.

Li Shimin felt that this was a little awkward, but it didn't matter, as long as he was willing to bring it.

He really looked at what kind of ability this Xu Jingzong had to make Li Chuan jealous like that?!

"Go with me to the master and be a prisoner." Li Shimin dragged Li Chuan and left.

Quyuan plough and the textile machine have made finished products, and these two days are the time to try it, and bring Li Chuan over to solve at least a little sudden problem.

Li Chuan: "......" has no love on his face.

Why the hell did he toss so much stuff?!

It wasn't until the evening that Li Chuan was released from the palace, but fortunately, Li Shimin didn't rob him again, but just gave up his labor.

Slowly crawling home, Li Chuan was like a wilted little cabbage, listless, and he didn't come out when he got into the room.

"Lord County, you want saltpeter." The temporary housekeeper walked in, a little puzzled as to what Li Chuan wanted saltpeter for.

You must know that saltpeter in Chang'an is really in demand, if they didn't say that Li Chuan wanted it, they might not be able to buy it back.

"Well, get a bucket of water, by the way, get a clean basin." Li Chuan got up from the rocking chair, walked a few steps over, and reached out to twist saltpeter.

After a while, everything was ready, Li Chuan added saltpeter to the water, and then put the basin with half a basin of water on the surface of the water.

The temporary butler looked over, and it didn't take long for him to find that ice patterns appeared on the surface of the bucket of water in front of him.

The butler rubbed his eyes, he thought he might be dazzled.

Putting down his hand and looking at it again, this time it was even more obvious, even the water in the basin began to appear ice marks.

"This, this, this...... Is it ice? The butler pointed to the bucket with a look of astonishment.

"Ah, it's ice." Li Chuan replied lazily.

The housekeeper shook his hand and reached for the basin, and when he stretched out his hand, he let Li Chuan stop him.

"I eat the ice, how can you touch it with your hands? If you want to touch it, go touch the ice in the bucket. Li Chuan held the butler's arm and made his target turn a corner.

The housekeeper doesn't have any opinions, anything is fine, and he can be content if he touches him.

My hand went down, touched the ice, pressed it, and it was still very solid.

"It's really cool." The butler withdrew his hand, unable to hide the shock on his face.

"Of course the ice is cold." Li Chuan was a little speechless, didn't they all say that the ancients had already discovered that saltpeter could make ice? Why was this veritable ancient man so surprised?

Is it a historical fault again? Throw away the things that have been handed down by your ancestors?!

The housekeeper didn't care what Li Chuan's attitude was, he reached out again and again to touch it, it was ice, it was indeed ice, cold, very hard.

However, this is not right, how can the water freeze on dog days?!

"Big, my lord, this ice, this is ......" The butler's excited words couldn't be said completely.

"We don't have ice in our house, so we can only make some of it ourselves, and there is saltpeter, if it's hot at night, you can make a pot yourself." Li Chuan waved his hand absently.

He's a little tired today and doesn't want to waste his mind on a piece of ice.

Moved the basin vigorously, the ice was vigorously broken, Li Chuan brought the basin to the table, and then looked at it in a daze.

He wanted to make a shaved ice to eat, but the problem is, this Datang doesn't seem to have milk! Other crushed peanuts, dried fruits or something are so easy to say, sugar, well, there is no sugar, but there are two bags of white sugar in his warehouse, and she stuffed it with Mo Lianhua when she bought spices.

Then no milk?!

I don't know if the ingredients are not enough, what will the shaved ice taste like?!

After less than half an hour, the shaved ice finally reached my mouth.

And then, huh? It tastes okay!

It's cold and cold, with a little sweetness, as well as chopped dried fruits and crushed peanuts, less milky, there is indeed something missing, but the conditions are simple, let's make up.

During this time, the housekeeper did not leave the ice bucket, he squatted next to the ice bucket very seriously, from time to time he reached in and touched it, and sometimes he would knock a small piece of ice hard, holding it in his hand, and he was not afraid of being frozen.

Li Chuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, saltpeter ice making is not technical, a three-year-old child can do it, he likes to play, so let's play.

Let Xiao Tongzi go to fetch water, Li Chuan took a good bath, touched his hair, it was almost to his shoulders, and he grew so fast.

Can I cut it off without long hair? Let's not talk about winter, this summer, it's really sinful to have long hair.

"My lord, my lord can dedicate the method of ice making to His Majesty, and Your Majesty will definitely have a reward." The housekeeper stopped Li Chuan excitedly.

Li Chuan: "......" reward? Just that stingy Li Er?!

Hehe, don't be funny!

"Ah, then you can go back to the palace and tell Your Majesty the good news, anyway, you know how to make ice." Li Chuan patted the butler on the shoulder and pushed him towards the door with a little force.

Butler: "......??" ”

Does he know how to make ice? The housekeeper recalled that the saltpeter was brought by himself, and the water was brought by him, and then he watched Li Chuan put the saltpeter in the bucket, and then put the basin on the water, and then, it turned into ice.

So, just put saltpeter in the water and you have ice?!

The butler's face is full of incredulity, is it so simple?!

He turned around and saw Li Chuan lying lazily on the bed, and told Xiao Tongzi what to eat at night, not taking ice making seriously at all.

There was shock in Xiao Tongzi's eyes, but he didn't come over, he just served Li Chuan dutifully.

The housekeeper couldn't help but wonder if he was making too much of a fuss, and his business level was not as good as Xiaotongzi?!

wanted to say something, but seeing that Li Chuan had been ignoring him, the housekeeper changed his mind and went out, fetched a basin of water and returned to his room, and then added saltpeter to the water.

Visible to the naked eye, the water speed became colder, began to freeze, the ice streaks quickly spread on the water surface, reached out and pressed, heard a slight 'click', the ice surface was broken by him, but within a few minutes, he could no longer press the ice, it was frozen.

The housekeeper looked up blankly, so it's really that simple to make ice?!

If the housekeeper is a modern netizen, he will definitely ask the soul triple question at this time: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?!

Look at the sky outside, it's already dark.

The steward, who was about to move, couldn't wait, so he took something and loaded it with saltpeter, pulled out a horse and ran to the palace.

His luck was not bad, and when he arrived at the palace gate, the guards in front of the palace gate were preparing to close the palace gate.

The housekeeper rushed in with the sign first, and then asked someone to report it.

Soon, the butler was called to the Chongwen Palace.

Li Shimin frowned and looked at this person, what he remembered was that this was the eunuch he specially sent to help Li Chuan do things, and temporarily served as a housekeeper, so what happened when he came in so late? !

"Your Majesty, the slave maid helped the county lord to offer the method of ice making to relieve the worries of the summer heat!" The butler bowed to the ground, and his eyes were full of excitement.

Li Shimin: "......??" "Was it a good thing?

"How to make ice?"

"Yes, the slave can demonstrate." The housekeeper turned his head to look at Wang Dehai.

This is their manager, and I hope that this time the manager will remember him, and he can arrange a good errand when he returns to the palace in the future.

Wang Dehai stood still, and only motioned to a little eunuch to go over and listen.

After the little eunuch listened, he went back and forth, Wang Dehai nodded and agreed, and after a while, a basin of water and saltpeter brought into the palace by the housekeeper and temporarily searched were brought up.

The butler acted quickly, untied the bag and poured all the saltpeter into the water in annoyance.
