Twenty days have passed, and Meng Yi's mosquito coils and paper have begun to get on the right track, and they are already in the experimental stage, and they will be available for sale soon.

Before that, the production of mosquito coils was still under secrecy, and in the eyes of outsiders, during this time, the Mongolian government kept sending people to the fields to pull weeds, what grass? Wormwood.

In addition to wormwood, there are also items such as mint, realgar, arsenic, etc.

These things that have nothing to do with the eight poles, Mengfu went to the pharmacy one by one to purchase.

Some clever bosses smelled a business opportunity and saw that the Meng family had started to make up something again, and they guessed that there was a high probability that something new would appear.

Therefore, they sent people to investigate, but the secret information of the Mongolian Mansion was good enough, and they couldn't find out at all, because even the people didn't know what Meng Yi was buying these things for?

After another half a month passed, Meng Yi made the first plate of mosquito coils, although the style is not very beautiful, but the effect is really good, after ignition, there is a little white smoke, and there is a faint mint fragrance in the white smoke.

But Meng Yi is far more than that, after many improvements and attempts, he finally reduced the white smoke of the mosquito coil to a minimum, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see the white smoke generated.

Among them, the most important thing is to add a little sticky soil to make the mosquito coil smokeless.

However, on this day, before the mass production of mosquito coils, a big event happened in the north.

"One hundred thousand in the north is in a hurry!"

In the early hours of the morning, a breaking sound came from a distance, breaking the silence and tranquility of the imperial city.

Hearing the urgent report from the north, the first emperor hurriedly jumped up from the dragon couch, he put on a thin coat and walked out of the main hall, and sent someone to submit the report of 100,000 urgent people in the north.

At the same time, he ordered the courtiers to immediately go to the Xianyang Hall to discuss the war in the north.

The ministers who were sleeping were woken up overnight, and everyone didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly put on their official uniforms and rushed to the palace.

In the Xianyang Palace, the ministers attended in turn, and on the way here, they learned that the north was in a hurry, and the first emperor convened the ministers overnight, thinking that he came to discuss the matter.

The First Emperor didn't talk too much nonsense, and said: "An hour ago, I received a war report from the north, the Xiongnu raided Shangjun, resulting in the killing of many conscripts who built the Great Wall. ”

"Fiasco? How is this possible?! ”

As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar at the scene, and it was common for enemies of other countries to attack in the border areas, and it was a common thing for the empire to set up a special secret post to rotate day and night, even if it was a surprise attack, it would be prepared.

Not only that, but the person who led the team was Meng Tian, and General Meng Da was the great god of war in the empire, saying that he was defeated?! No one would believe it, even the First Emperor was skeptical after reading it.

"Your Majesty, General Meng's soldiers are like gods, even if the Huns and thieves sneak attack, but they will not be defeated, is there a secret in it?" Prime Minister Feng Qujian said.

"Feng Xiangzhi's thoughts coincide with me, Meng Tian's ability, I don't need to say more than words, you can also know." The First Emperor said, "But it can be mentioned in the war report that the Xiongnu somehow got a powerful poisonous mosquito, after being bitten by this poisonous mosquito, the whole body will be weak, and cysts appear in the body, this time the Qin army is suffering." ”

"Poisonous mosquitoes? How could the Huns have such a thing? Feng Qujian asked.

"Now it's not to investigate the source of this poisonous mosquito, if the Xiongnu use this poisonous mosquito again, I'm afraid that it will be easy to occupy Shangjun." The First Emperor said that there are priorities, and the urgent task of the moment is to solve the immediate difficulties first, and then find the source of the poison.

"Your Majesty is very true."

"At this moment, Meng Tian and Fusu have led the army back thirty miles, and they will avoid the edge for the time being, General Meng sent an urgent report overnight to find the help of the imperial court, what can Zhu Qing do?"

"Mosquitoes and insects, small and difficult to find, hear the sound in the ear, want to catch it, but can't, and now it is the height of summer, we are all plagued by mosquitoes, often can't sleep at night, although this thing is small, it is difficult to deal with." Someone said.

Nowadays, the temperature is very high, mosquitoes are rampant, and they are buzzing in the air, which is simply difficult to catch, especially at night, and it is impossible to catch mosquitoes.

And mosquitoes never distinguish between people, whether you are a minister or an emperor, or a common person, only if there is blood, it will drink it.

What about Yingzheng? I am often bitten by mosquitoes at night, I can be described as angry and hateful, as the lord of the world, but I can't help a little mosquito, I can't pinch it to death, but in a blink of an eye the mosquito flew away.

"I naturally know the difficulty, and I am here to seek a solution, not to listen to your complaints." The First Emperor said.

The ministers were silent, if they knew how to get rid of mosquitoes, how could they suffer day and night?!

Seeing that everyone was in trouble, the First Emperor set his eyes on Meng Yi, this kid didn't seem to wake up, he kept kowtowing, and he didn't seem to care about this kind of big thing at all.

"Meng Yi, now in the war in the north, your brother was defeated, but you are dozing in the court, it is not your own business, can you be guilty? And as an important minister of the court, you are even more guilty. The First Emperor said angrily.

Woke up by the first emperor, Meng Yi rubbed his eyes, he was called into the palace in the early morning, and he was indeed a little sleepy, but he basically heard the general things clearly, is it nothing more than receiving persecution from mosquitoes, this is not simple.

Meng Yi only felt that the ancients were really not easy, little mosquitoes couldn't deal with it, it was really sad for them, if it was put on hold now, there was nothing that could not be solved by a bottle of mosquito medicine, if there was, then two bottles.

"Your Majesty is angry, Bin is the minister doesn't care about national affairs, but the minister feels that things like this are too simple, so the minister can't help but want to doze off." Meng Yi said.

Too simple?!

When Meng Yi said these words, it is estimated that he will be scolded to death by many people, and everyone can't think of a solution, but he keeps saying that it is simple? Is it too annoying.

Someone stood up and fought back: "Meng Shangqing, we all know that you have some talent, and the poisonous mosquitoes you are dealing with today are not to create some bells and whistles, don't think that you can say such crazy words with a little cleverness." ”

Meng Yi sneered and replied, "Hmph, Lord Zhao said that the things I make are bells and whistles? If I'm not mistaken, your wife bought twenty sets of cupping utensils? And the small waterwheel in the house seems to be made by me. ”

"So what?"

"Didn't you say I was clever? If you have the ability, Lord Zhao also invented a few bells and whistles to open the eyes of His Majesty and our ministers? Meng Yi replied mercilessly.

He is the most disgusting kind of person who doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, and he knows that he has no ability, but he always satirizes others to elevate himself.

Aside from these, waterwheels, cupping, baby warmers, etc., which one is not an invention for the benefit of the country and the people, why talk about bells and whistles?

"I don't bother to argue with you."

"Hmph, I don't have the ability to question others, but now I can't argue with me, but I say I don't care, Lord Zhao is really powerful."

"Meng Yi, you ......"

"Don't quarrel, I summoned you to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy, you are good, you didn't come up with a plan, but you quarreled endlessly." The First Emperor said.

"The minister knows."

Zhao Gang hurriedly admitted his mistake, but he didn't have this kind of awareness, because he was not wrong at all, why should he admit his mistake? In this regard, the First Emperor also turned a blind eye.

Seeing that the two of them stopped, Ying Zheng asked again: "Meng Yi, just now you said that dealing with poisonous mosquitoes is very simple, what is the magic method for you?" ”

Hearing the First Emperor's question, Meng Yi also knew everything, and said, "Your Majesty knows the habits of mosquitoes?" ”

"I don't know." The First Emperor shook his head and said.

"The minister once read an ancient book, which contains: mosquito smoke, old clouds, smoked with wormwood, can get rid of mosquitoes." Meng Yi explained.

"It's as simple as that?"

"The principle is naturally very simple, but it is really difficult to put it into practice."

If you really use wormwood to dislike smoke, the smoke at night is just afraid that the mosquitoes will be smoked, and people will be choked to death by the smoke, so the method is very good, but the practical effect is not good.

Putting these aside, if you use smoke to get rid of mosquitoes, it is easy to expose your location, and in the end, the mosquitoes will be cleaned, but the location will still be exposed, and you will still fall into a disadvantage.

The first emperor only felt that his mood was a roller coaster, and he just said that there was a solution, but the method was not available, so it was better not to say it.

"Is there a solution?" The First Emperor asked.

Different from Ying Zheng's solemnity, Meng Yi looked relaxed and indifferent, and the trivial things were also worth such hard work, he smiled and said: "Hehe, how can such a trivial matter be difficult to win the courtiers?" ”

"Oh?"

The First Emperor's eyes lit up, this kid is really ...... That's to be expected.

Every time he encounters a thorny problem that no one else can solve, Meng Yi can always think of a way, and the solution is still so effective, it can really be described as "expected".

"Tell me about it."

Meng Yi said: "You don't understand this matter, so the minister simply brought something that can ward off poisonous mosquitoes." ”

Whether it was the previous waterwheel or the Quyuan plow, he couldn't understand it after explaining it for a long time, but this time Meng Yi simply didn't bother to explain and took out the real thing directly.

I saw Meng Yi take out a burden from his arms, he carefully opened the bag, and saw that there was a plate of mosquito coils inside, showing a spiral circle, black and not slippery, and faintly smelling a refreshing question.

Nowadays, people will shout out when they see mosquito coils, but the ancients felt extremely strange when they saw this thing.

The First Emperor asked, "What is this?" ”

Meng Yi replied: "Mosquito coils." ”

"The solution you are talking about is this little mosquito coil?" The First Emperor said hesitantly.

"Not bad."

"No kidding, the poisonous mosquitoes are so powerful, how can this thing resist it?"

"Your Majesty, don't look at him as black and not slippery, he doesn't look very good-looking, but he is infinitely useful." Meng Yi said, "This mosquito coil can not only repel poisonous mosquitoes, but also get rid of other insect pests? ”

"Is it really that amazing?"

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, why don't you send someone to catch some bugs and give it a try?"

"Come on, catch some bugs."
