When Zhang Yue rushed back to Chang'an, it was already the eighteenth day.

It has been three days since he left Chang'an.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Zhang Yue first sent Zhao Rouniang to Princess Nanxin's palace and asked the two of them to play in the imperial garden together.

With a blank piece of paper, he returned to the small building first to take a look at the slips of Lantai in the past few days.

After a little look, Zhang Yue had a general understanding of what had happened in the past few days since he left.

Gongsun Jingsheng had already been under the court two days ago.

The so-called lower court lieutenants of the Han family are similar to those of later generations, 'expelled from the party and public office, and transferred to judicial organs'.

What awaits him will be the trial of the Lieutenant.

However, now that the previous court lieutenant has left office, the new court lieutenant has not taken office, so the trial of this case was approved by the Son of Heaven and handed over to Bingji, the right supervisor of the court lieutenant, to be responsible.

Basically, when the program came to this point, Gongsun Jingsheng was already a dead man.

His mansion and the official residence of the imperial servant Yamen have been seized by the ruling Jinwu.

It is said that from his mansion and manor alone, 5,000 gold in gold, 135 million in money, more than 500 slaves and maids, 13 manors, and silk and silk were not counted!

Just the property that has been counted is worth nearly 30,000!

It is equivalent to 20% of the income of the Han family's tax on the year!

It's jaw-dropping.

Therefore, when the news came out, the government and the opposition shook, and countless bullet stamps poured into Lantai like a tide.

Prime Minister Ge Yihou Gongsun He resigned on seven days a day.

But every time the Son of Heaven issued an edict to comfort him: Prime Minister I'm the humerus, and I'm respectful......

The crown prince Liu Ju was also implicated in this incident and was discussed by public opinion.

After all, Gongsun Jingsheng and the crown prince Liu are relatives, and they come and go more often.

Now that Gongsun Jingsheng has been dug up for such a thing, how can the scholars and doctors sit idly by?

Not to mention that there may not be no one behind this who is making noise and making trouble.

After reading these slips, Zhang Yue pursed his lips: "I'm afraid the prince will owe me a favor!" ”

He grabbed the bag of white paper wrapped in silk, walked out of the door, changed into the court clothes of the servants, put on the sable crown, and walked towards the jade hall.

When they arrived at the bottom of the jade hall, Zhang Yue and Guo Sui met head-on.

Zhang Shizhong...... Come back......" As soon as Guo Sui saw Zhang Yue, he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "I don't know if the waiter is free tonight?" There are a few nobles who want to invite the waiter to come to the mansion as a guest......"

Zhang Yue knew that the other party was pimping when he heard it, so he shook his head with a smile and said: "Thank you Guo Gong for your kindness, but the contemptible people plan to return to Xinfeng in two days and preside over the affairs of Xinfeng, so the kind invitation of the nobles can only be understood!" ”

Hearing this, Guo Sui showed an expression that he had already known this, and smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then I have no choice but to refuse you nobles......

Although there was some distress in his heart, those people asked him to invite Zhang Yue to come over as a guest, but he offered a high price of a manor and five hundred gold.

Now, if it doesn't work out, you have to get a refund.

But......

He has to take a long-term view, and he knows that this matter is difficult to do.

"Please thank you on my behalf......" Zhang Yue bowed bowed, apologized slightly, and then asked: "Guo Gong, now Your Majesty is in Yutang?" ”

"Well, yes!" Guo Sui smiled when he heard this: "Since the last time His Majesty resigned, His Majesty has been in the Jade Hall and has not left ......."

Guo Sui said this, and glanced at Zhang Yue deeply.

After His Majesty Zhang Yue saw the Son of Heaven a few days ago, His Majesty was a rare otaku, staying in the jade hall, and he didn't even go to his favorite Penglai Pavilion.

Although there was a written record left in the last duet between the monarch and the minister, this time His Majesty did not choose to announce it, but issued an edict: Those who dare to vent will die!

Generally speaking, after the Son of Heaven gave such an order, as long as he reigned for a day, no fool would go around spreading it.

So even Guo Sui didn't know the content of that duet.

But one thing is very clear - the Son of Heaven is getting better and better, and they, the eunuchs who serve the Son of Heaven, have become a lot more relaxed because of this.

You must know that since Tianhan, as he grows older, his temper has become weird.

Serving him can be distracted, and one carelessness may invite disaster.

But in recent days, His Majesty has become more and more generous.

Even if someone occasionally makes a mistake, they can be forgiven.

For most eunuchs, this is thankful.

Only Su Wen and a few others were a little depressed and even worried.

……………………………………

Zhang Yue ascended the jade hall, went straight through the corridor, entered the main hall, casually found the attendant, and asked, "Where is Your Majesty now?" ”

When the man heard this, he immediately replied: "Zhang Shizhong, Your Majesty is discussing with Zhijinwu in the side hall, if there is an urgent matter in the service, the lower official will go to pass it on......"

"No need...... Zhang Yue waved his hand and said, "I'll just wait here......"

He took the silk package in his hand, placed it on a desk in the hall, and then began to tour inside and outside the jade hall.

Speaking of which, he has never carefully visited and appreciated the scenery of this jade hall!

This time it can be regarded as an opportunity to take a good look at the most luxurious palace on the earth before the Common Era.

This tour is more than half an hour, and Zhang Yue took a look at the inside and outside of this jade hall.

After the tour, Zhang Yue had only one feeling in his heart - incredible!

The jade hall building takes jade as the step, marble as the majesty, and all the halls are equipped with two sets of systems for cooling off the heat and greenhouses.

Now it is summer, mainly to cool off, so there is a piece of ice in the jade plate supported by the bronze statues in each hall, and there are maids holding fans to fan the wind next to the tray at all times.

Therefore, in the jade hall, no matter how hot it is outside, the hall is as cool as autumn.

Not only that, Zhang Yue also saw several ice jians in the apse of the jade hall.

What is Bingjian?

The refrigerator before the A.D. is also!

Of course, this kind of refrigerator does not have electricity, but uses bronze as a vessel, which is square in shape and has a beautiful shape, carved with dragons and phoenixes and exotic beasts.

The inside is filled with ice cubes, and in the middle of it is the food that needs to be preserved.

Generally, it is beef, lamb and shrimp.

It can only be said that the wisdom of the working people is endless.

But such consumption is also sky-high.

Zhang Yue calculated in his heart, I am afraid that the daily ice cubes required by this Jade Hall Hall alone may be as many as several tons, or even more than ten tons!

At the end of the summer, hundreds of tons of ice will be used.

Only the emperor's family has such a luxurious enjoyment of this capital.

Ordinary ministers may only be able to let their maids fan themselves in the summer, and ordinary people can only rely on well water to cool off.

So......

Zhang Yue suddenly had an idea in his heart: "If you can build a super ice cellar in Chang'an City to store ice cubes and sell them in the summer, will you make a lot of money?" ”

This thought together can't be stopped at all.

There are hundreds of thousands of residents in Chang'an City, including at least tens of thousands of wealthy businessmen and princesses, and tens of thousands of families above the middle class, and their consumption power is not bad.

If you can build a similar large ice cellar and at a relatively affordable price, you will definitely not worry about sales.

The only technical problem was how to get the ice to the orderer.

As long as you solve this problem, you will be able to eat this cake.

Zhang Yue's heart is like a cat scratched, as a former civil servant, he still has a deep GDP plot in his heart.

Anything that can increase GDP is, in his opinion, a boost to the development of productive forces – of course, pornography, gambling and drugs do not count.

Not to mention, he will go on an expedition to the world in the future.

This requires a central government with sufficient fiscal revenues to support it.

The construction of a well-off society is also inseparable from the support of five baht money!

Zhang Yue knows very well that as long as he can do this thing in Chang'an.

Then, he can replicate it in the big Han cities like Linzi, Luoyang, and Handan.

A city makes a profit of 10 million from the sale of ice cubes a year, and the total of the four cities is 40 million!

Thinking about this in his heart, he heard someone say to him: "Zhang Shizhong...... Zhang Shizhong...... Your Majesty has an edict, please come and face the Holy ......"

"Oh......" Zhang Yue came back to his senses and asked, "Is the duet of Zhijingo over?" ”

"......No," the other party replied, "Your Majesty heard that the servant was coming, so he ordered the subordinate to come and invite the servant to come and attend......

"Tell me to sit in on it?" Zhang Yue's face was suspicious.

Under normal circumstances, once the duet of the Han monarch and the minister begins, it is easy not to join the others.

Unless......

The person asks someone to be present to give an opinion or to corroborate something.

In other words......

Is this Wang Mang begging him to come over?
