36 Ice cream
"Wow... It's delicious! ”
(*^-^*)
Chu Yanran gave it to Chu Wushuang, also picked up a piece, handed it over and said, "Sister, you should also try it quickly!" ”
"Hmm."
Chu Wushuang nodded and took it, and after she ate it, she also praised it continuously.
It has a cold taste with a hint of sweetness.
The expressions of the two of them are like this: (❤ω❤)
"You taste it too." Seeing this, Wei Wuji couldn't cry or laugh, picked up a piece and handed it to Li Bai.
"Thank you, Lord."
Li Bai's eating appearance is the most ugly: o((⊙_⊙))o.
He bit off most of it at once, and rolled his eyes from the cold, but he was reluctant to vomit.
In the end, he took it all and swallowed them all.
It was cold from my throat to my stomach, and I almost suffocated.
But after the cold, it was refreshing.
After a while, Li Baicai smiled and sighed: "This thing, if it is sold in the market, it will definitely be better than the sales of soap!" ”
"You're right. I made this thing to sell in the market. ”
Wei Wuji admonished: "You all heard clearly, there are only four of us present, and no one can say to the outside world that Huangshi can make ice."
This is the magic weapon of our Chu State to win. ”
"Hmm..."
Everyone nodded heavily.
"Wushuang, you take these ice creams and send them to the palace for your father to taste as well.
If you're satisfied, you'll have it made in large quantities.
Then, let's bring it to market! ”
Wei Wuji used a hurried bowl to hold two pieces of ice and handed them to Chu Wuji's hands.
"Okay, I'll send it now."
Chu Wushuang took the bowl with ice cream and ran to the palace.
After the Emperor Chu ate it, he was excited and happy.
Without saying a word, he selected a group of officials and craftsmen and gave them a large number of rewards.
Let them be in a specific place, make ice cubes, and they will not be able to come out for three years.
Because to prevent the leakage of information.
The technology of making ice is now in the hands of the Chu State.
Emperor Chu repeatedly told Chu Wushuang that even the crown prince Chu Ji couldn't tell him about the ice-making process.
Moreover, the Emperor of Chu himself did not know.
He only instructed Wei Wuji to go and teach him how to make ice.
......
......
A few days later.
The Southern Jin Kingdom sent people to complete the soap transaction, handed over three million taels of silver to the country, and took away the soap.
However, during the time of completing the transaction, the envoys of the Southern Jin Kingdom saw the cold and delicious ice cream.
He bought a piece to taste and immediately liked it.
And in Yingdu Market, ice cream is very popular.
Five copper plates are a piece, and there are many people who buy them.
Some small ice cream parlors are lined up outside, and even the streets are blocked.
The envoys of the Southern Jin Dynasty felt that ice cream must be better than soap, so they made their own decisions and went to order ice cream worth 500,000 taels from the Chu Emperor.
I made an appointment to send someone to pick up some every half a month.
There are also ice cubes worth 500,000 taels, which will be taken away at one time after the Southern Jin Emperor agrees.
Emperor Chu was naturally happy to take all of them.
"My lord, just now the prince went to the barracks and said that it was the emperor's order to appoint him as the general of the Chinese army, in charge of the 30,000 northern army.
This is ...... Did you know? ”
Cheng bites Jin to report to Wei Wuji.
"I don't know."
Wei Wuji exclaimed, "Is this really the case? ”
Cheng Biting Jin said: "Yes, he is in the barracks now!" Moreover, he also took matters into his own hands and let the soldiers rest for a day without training.
I can't stop it, or the soldiers will be dissatisfied with me.
I followed his words and told the soldiers of all battalions to rest for a while. ”
"You're doing the right thing. The crown prince can't be allowed to win the hearts of the army. ”
Wei Wuji said: "You go back to the barracks first, try to follow him in everything, and I will go to the palace to see the emperor." ”
"Yes."
Wei Wuji was really heartbroken.
The crown prince Chu Ji is obviously ill-intentioned.
After three times to seize military power, Emperor Chu actually agreed?
This was somewhat unexpected.
Arrived at the palace.
Wei Wuji bowed and said, "Father, have you agreed that the crown prince is in charge of the army?" ”
"Well, he came to ask me, saying that he wanted to learn some real skills from you, I thought that as the crown prince, he couldn't achieve nothing, so he let him go to the army as a commander and take charge of a part of the northern army."
"Father..."
Wei Wuji didn't know what to say: "Of course, the prince should learn, but the relationship between the Northern Army is complicated, involving Zhao and Beiqing.
And the crown prince ...... He came back from Zhao again.
Do you think it is really appropriate to put him in charge of the Northern Army? ”
When Wei Wuji said this, he regretted it a little.
Isn't this an obvious slander of Chu Ji?
However, Emperor Chu did not realize it, but said: "Wuji, let him assist you and train for a period of time."
If he really doesn't succeed, it's not too late to remove him from office. ”
"Ugh..."
Wei Wuji really couldn't refuse.
The crown prince is the future emperor of the Chu State, and it is normal for him to be sent to the army for training.
If he repeatedly refuses, it seems that he is wrong.
"The son has a request, and I hope that my father will approve it!" Wei Wuji remembered something very important.
"Say it."
Wei Wuji said: "The prince's newly recruited guests, Sun Jin and Hu Wushuang, cannot serve in the army.
The Northern Expeditionary Army was originally Sun Jin's troops.
If he is allowed to serve in the army, it will be easy to win the hearts of the people.
At that time, the army will listen to Sun Jin, so I don't know if this northern army is not the army of Chu State?
Other than that...
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just arrived in the barracks, and he doesn't know much about the things in the barracks, so he shouldn't rush to give orders.
Just now, General Cheng reported that the prince had ordered the soldiers of each battalion to rest for a day and not need to train.
This is to win people's hearts.
Erchen is not worried about the prince winning people's hearts, but about Sun Jin, will this be his idea.
Perhaps, he wants to take the opportunity to collect the Northern Army for his own use! ”
Emperor Chu promised Chu Ji to go to the camp to study, but he simply wanted him to go through the experience, and he didn't think about it so much at all.
Speaking of Sun Jin, Emperor Chu was also unusually careful.
He immediately nodded and said, "You're right.
Sun Jin and Hu Wushuang really can't be guarded against.
You go and tell the prince that he went to the barracks to learn how to govern the army, and he has no rights.
Orders cannot be issued.
In addition, Sun Jin and Hu Wushuang were not allowed to enter the barracks.
If I found out they were in the barracks, I would cut off their heads. ”
"Father is wise."
In this way, the prince will not play a role in the northern army.
Wei Wuji left the palace.
Head to the big camp outside the city.
At this time.
Chu Ji and the generals of the Northern Army sat together, talking and laughing and drinking.
Sun Jin and Hu Wushuang are also there.
I get along well with the generals.
Cheng Yanjin could barely interject and sat on the top seat drinking stuffy wine.
Wei Wuji took Li Bai and entered the camp tent.
When everyone saw this, they all stood up and saluted: "Da Sima..." ”
"No courtesy."
Wei Wuji walked to the front and glanced at Chu Ji: "I'll talk about a few things: First, the prince can come to the barracks, and we are very welcome." But you're not here to drink, you're here to learn.
Second, from now on, your status in the barracks is only equivalent to that of an ordinary general, and you must carry out General Cheng's orders, and you must not disobey them, let alone give orders.
Oh, by the way, alcohol is not allowed in the barracks.
Later, let me see that some people are drinking in the barracks, and the light ones will weigh fifty rods, and the heavier ones will be expelled from the barracks! ”
