Li Chengyang explained to Ma Zhou in detail the matters of the Ice Control Division, from taking water to finally getting ice, everything was told to Ma Zhou meticulously, and then he may feel that what he said was not clear, so he personally made a basin of water and showed Ma Zhou a demonstration on the spot.

After a set of processes, Ma Zhou also knew everything about this, and he also made it out with a basin of ice, Li Chengyang thought about it, and then made the pure ice, that is, the ice that was used to make ice shavings, and was busy, until Xiao'er brought up the finished cold noodles.

Ma Zhou, who was full of wine and food, and after eating four bowls of noodles, praised King Qin's food fiercely, and his eyes narrowed into a slit when he heard the big smile, and then the two began to discuss the question of how to arrange the Ice Division.

I am very satisfied with people like Ma Zhou, who entered the role so quickly, and the style of the ancients who spared no effort to give you help once they put into action made Li Chengyang like it very much.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, how big do you want to be in the Ice Control Division?" Ma Zhou asked, there are different methods for different goals, and it is only a fool to use big methods for small goals.

"This king naturally wants to let the people of the whole Tang Dynasty be free from the torture of the heat, there is no upper limit to the goal, you can show as much ability as you have, if you can open the Ice Control Division to the Western Regions, I will be the first to write to you to show your merits."

Ma Zhou pondered for a moment, and couldn't make up his mind, since King Qin's purpose is so big, then he really wants to come up with the ability to press the bottom of the box this time, it is not difficult to control the ice, it is rare how to popularize, there are ten roads in the Tang Dynasty, 1153 counties, and the counties are divided into three grades: large, medium and small, and each county contains a different number of townships.

Thinking about it, Ma Zhou still couldn't think of a way to count, and suddenly thought that Li Chengyang couldn't have made up his mind today, even if there was no Ma Zhou, Li Chengyang's purpose would not change, so he said: "I don't know what the plan set by His Royal Highness is, can you mention Zhou."

Ma Zhou didn't come up with a way, and it didn't surprise Li Chengyang, one ancient times there are not too many examples to learn from, everything has to rely on their own exploration, and the other is that Ma Zhou is still too young, historical records record that Ma Zhou was only discovered by Li Shimin in the fifth year of Zhenguan, from the ninth year of Wude to the fifth year of Zhenguan, Ma Zhou has been wandering in the market, and even suffered repeated setbacks.

The incompleteness of life experience makes Ma Zhou not show the appearance of Zai Fu's talent, but Li Chengyang didn't worry too much, no one can say for sure about talent, but it does exist, since Ma Zhou is famous in history, he must have great talent in officialdom, lose five or six years of hard work, but get five or six years of officialdom, Li Chengyang believes that in the same time period, Ma Zhou's officialdom career will be more mature.

As for how to push the Ice Control Division to the whole Tang Dynasty, he also had a plan in his heart for a long time, which was nothing more than a pilot project, which was very common in later generations.

"Mr. serious, don't dare to mention it, this king does have some immature ideas, this king began to plan to Chang'an as the center, slowly radiating outward, of which the first step is the goal of Guannei Road, followed by Henan, Hedong, Hebei, the right four roads, the hottest five roads are solved in the slow development to other roads, I have a total of more than 1,000 counties in the Tang Dynasty, then set up more than 1,000 ice divisions, the specific scale is subject to the scale of the county, a total of about 20,000 people are needed, and the rest of the materials are not much different."

Ma Zhou and Li Chengyang's plan was a little stunned, he could be regarded as having seen the market, but Li Chengyang's big plan of more than 20,000 people still shocked him.

He couldn't help but be surprised, the officials of Datang didn't add up to 20,000 people, how could a single Ice Control Division plan to deal with a behemoth of 20,000 people?

Li Chengyang also knew that this plan looked a little shocking on the surface, and hurriedly continued: "Sir, don't be surprised, more than 20,000 people are not officials, seriously, there are no officials in this king's ice control division, my father granted me the right to act cheaply, how I do this ice control division is up to this king, sir, would you like to hear my plan?" ”。

Ma Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "Please also ask Your Highness to teach me."

"Don't be so polite, my plan is like this, now there are twenty-three people in addition to this king, and then there will be a group of carpenters and blacksmiths coming in, this is another matter, I will explain to you in a while, and then say these twenty-three people, it may not change in the future, this king wants to take these people as the foundation, let them learn this ice control method well, first take Chang'an as an example, let them all participate, and then wait for these people to be familiar with the specific affairs, and then disperse people to the Guannei, let them recruit people in various places, Independently responsible for the ice control of an area," he continued after taking a sip of water

"The recruited people are mainly homeless beggars, and it can be regarded as relieving the pressure on my Datang, these people are not officially registered, they are all according to the employment relationship, and the funds are provided by another group of people from the Ice Control Division in the early stage, and then the people who control the Ice are self-sufficient, and the extra money is handed over in addition to the monthly money, which is used to support the construction of the rest of the provinces, there is no shortage of manpower, there is no shortage of money, and within two years, the Ice Control Division can be all over the northern provinces of Datang."

This is also Li Chengyang's original plan, to bring a batch of batches, and operate the Ice Control Division in the company's model, as for how the Ice Control Division will get the money later? He doesn't plan to make money from selling ice, this is the original intention of the establishment of the Ice Control Division, and if he doesn't want people to die of heat, he shouldn't sell ice.

What he plans is the idea of ice cream, the price of the fan is too high, the output is small, and it is easy to be counterfeited, which is not suitable for popularization, and the ice does not want to use it to make money, it is a bit of a pity that the ice cream is not taken out to make money.

After listening to Li Chengyang's explanation, Ma Zhou's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, I have to say that it is really the blood of the royal family, even if he was born in the people, King Qin did not live up to the talent brought by his body, and the method he came up with at a young age amazed him, a young man in his twenties.

Although Li Chengyang did not explain what to do more specifically, he could also understand what Li Chengyang meant, and I have to say that this kind of thinking is a plan for the old city to seek the country, and it can be used not only in the matter of the Ice Division, but also in most things in the DPRK and China.

The initial establishment of the pilot, that is, the plan implemented by the Ice Control Division in Chang'an, can be popularized, and all political affairs can be found and solved when the pilot is established, and this alone can be famous through the ages, not to mention the employment of homeless people and beggars, not only to solve the population problem caused by the perennial conquest, but also to solve the large amount of manpower required by the Ice Control Division, and even the imperial court can not pay a penny, and it can be completely handed over to the Ice Control Division.

Ma Zhou immediately bowed: "Zhou is willing to serve His Royal Highness for the work of dogs and horses, if it doesn't work, Ma Zhou is willing to come to see him."

Li Chengyang hurriedly helped the person up, and his head was lifted, how can you still raise your head to see him? Entrusting the plan to Ma Zhou made him a lot easier, and he thought hard about how to do a good job of the ice control division every day, which was really not in line with his original intention, he originally planned to be as lazy as he could, who knew that things had been chasing him, and he didn't know when he would have a time to catch his breath.

Ma Zhou came and he could rest, he never doubted the wisdom of the ancients, and if he explained everything clearly, there would be nothing to do with him, the reason why modern people feel that the ancients were inferior to themselves is just the difference in vision, and the impact of information asymmetry on people is too great.

Seeing that Li Chengyang had nothing to say, Ma Zhou proposed to go to the Ice Control Division to take a look, and Li Chengyang couldn't go against the will of the henchmen he had just called, so he called Li Shi and ran to the Ministry of Industry.

Along the way, Ma Zhou lowered his head and was silent, and he didn't know where to think about anything, until he was almost at the Ministry of Industry, he raised his head and asked Li Chengyang a question: "Your Highness, are your twenty-three people reliable?" ”。

This is also a problem that Li Chengyang has never dared to talk about, it turns out that when they are together, everyone is poor and white, no one should look down on anyone, everyone can only live if they hug each other together, and now the world has changed, one by one, they have become an official of the Ministry of Industry, and directly belong to him, the king of Qin, who has been in the end of the day, he has always been afraid that these people will change.

Ma Zhou put the problem on the table, which gave Li Chengyang a headache, according to the original plan, these twenty-three people were almost all responsible for a matter alone in the end, even if Zhibing was not making money, the sum of a Dao's money was a remarkable number, and whether this group of people who had never seen money could hold it was a question mark.

But in the face of Ma Zhou's inquiry, he couldn't show his suspicions about a group of people, and his years of relationship could not be doubted, so he had to harden his mouth: "They are all elder brothers who depend on me for life and death, you can use it with confidence, I am responsible for accidents."

I don't know if Ma Zhou saw Li Chengyang's thoughts, Li Chengyang said so, Ma Zhou also nodded and said something and never spoke again.

When I arrived at the Ministry of Industry, the old eunuch of Buzhuang had already asked people to send the futon over, all of them were the craftsmanship of the people in the palace, and the quality was nothing to say, a group of people had never seen such a beautiful futon in their lives, and they were all very precious, and even some people wanted to bury the futon for later use, and they were stopped by Wu Li and didn't know what they were talking about.

It wasn't until Li Chengyang showed up that he stopped, and after being stunned for a while, he began to cry, hugging the bedding one by one, living like a little girl who was bullied, Li Chengyang really didn't laugh, if they could have such a bedding at the beginning, I don't know how many fewer people would die.

Wen Yan comforted everyone for a long time, so no one continued to cry, and pulled Ma Zhou over to introduce everyone one by one, and Ma Zhou also saw them one by one.

After the greetings, Ma Zhou did not delay for a moment, brought the twenty-three people to the main hall, and began to arrange one by one, the older ten people were responsible for controlling the ice, the youngest five people were responsible for carrying water, and the remaining ones were responsible for running outside to be responsible for the collection of saltpeter.

Ma Zhou's plan is to make an ice warehouse, if you need new ice, you can put the water directly into the ice storage, no need to add saltpeter, only the temperature of the ice storage can make ice, people only need to take care of the ice in the ice storage, although it is slower, but it saves the cost of measurement, and the problem of Li Chengyang's lack of saltpeter has been solved.

Ma Zhou asked Li Chengyang to add, thought about it, and asked people to prepare ten sets of thick furs, not to look good, how thick and how good to be, warm first, and then told a few people in charge of saltpeter, it is best to go directly to the Taoist temple to buy saltpeter in the early stage, any Taoist temple must have this thing more or less, but it is not used for ice training, it is used for alchemy.

After confirming that there were no other problems, Ma Zhou announced the dismissal of the meeting, and everyone went down separately, Li Chengyang and Ma Zhou visited the production of the fan again, and then went back to the house together.
