Chapter 70: The refrigerator and air conditioner of Great Xia

It is mainly filled with ice, and there are also compartments for food.

Underneath the ice jian, there is also an air vent, which can continuously exhaust cold air.

This is a refrigerator and an air conditioning fan!

Moreover, Chen Mu also renovated this house so that it could preserve the air conditioning and reduce leakage. The floor is also insulated.

Chen Mu explained the principle of this ice jian, took out the rock sugar gourd, and the three of them ate it together.

The rock sugar gourd is sweet and sour, and it also carries ice ballast, which is very comfortable to eat in this weather.

Liu Susu ate the rock sugar gourd, and asked Chen Mu again: "No, husband, where did the ice cubes come from?" ”

Chen Mu smiled, "I knew you were going to ask, come here." ”

Chen Mu came to the table next to him, pointed to the things on the table and said:

"This thing is called saltpeter, which is the main raw material for making ice, and these two basins are ordinary water. Then you just have to do this, and the ice cubes will slowly appear. ”

As he spoke, Chen Mu put the small copper basin into the large copper basin, and then added saltpeter to the large basin.

The two girls were surprised to find that ice cubes slowly appeared in the small basin.

"Oh my God! It's amazing, too! The water freezes in the summer! ”

"Husband, you're an immortal, right?"

Chen Mu smiled, "I'm not an immortal, this is the method that the immortal taught me." This ice-making method is inexpensive and saltpeter can be reused. Once it is popularized, the people of Great Xia will be able to use ice in the summer. ”

"However, of course, my wife was the first to enjoy this!"

Liu Susu and Mei Ling'er nodded with a smile and kissed Chen Mu on the cheek.

From this day on, the three of them moved into this air-conditioned room.

The cold air produced by this ice is not much, and the temperature is not very low, but it is more beneficial to health. Suitable for use in this era.

With such a baby, the second thing Chen Mu thought of was Chen Xingtian, this cheap dad was really good to himself. Not only fully supports himself in the court, but also supports any reform and decision-making of himself.

After Chen Xingtian received the ice jian sent by Chen Mu, he was also very happy.

He said while eating a rock sugar gourd:

"Mu'er, you're a great thing! We must not only enjoy ourselves, but also let the ministers and the people taste it. ”

Chen Mu nodded.

"Of course you can, but you have to make them pay."

"Start with the civil and military ministers to promote, give them ice first, but don't tell them how to make ice, if you want ice cubes, buy them from us."

"In a few days, the method of making ice will be made public, and private merchants will make ice and sell it to the people. However, it is necessary to limit the price to ensure that the common people can afford it. ”

Chen Xingtian nodded and smiled: "You really love the people like a son, but you are a little too greedy for money." ”

Chen Mu: "In order to enrich the treasury, the money can be placed in the treasury to do good things for the people of Daxia." In the hands of those big families, they will only satisfy their own selfish desires. ”

"Oh, yes."

Speaking of the big family, Chen Mu thought of the problem of the big family's private soldiers.

When I was in southern Xinjiang, several big families were able to gather thousands of private soldiers, which made it very tricky for the invincible flying army, and if there was a conflict, it would definitely be full of casualties.

Chen Mu didn't plan to collect all the iron in the world like Qin Shi Huang.

In fact, it is impossible to collect them all.

If the emperor wants to prevent the people from rebelling, he should try his best to give the people a happy life, if everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, who wants to rebel?

The Son of Heaven is virtuous and guards in Siyi. That's what we're talking about.

Chen Xingtian was also very supportive of this approach, and just reminded Chen Mu to be careful.

In the morning of the next day, Chen Mu said in the lobby that private soldiers should be restricted, and no one was allowed to raise private soldiers except for the garrisons in border counties.

Officials must abide by the establishment system and use the official servants and officials within the scope of the restrictions. The number of guards of a large family should also be limited, and no matter how big the family is, the number of guards must not exceed 100.

Even the guards of the eunuch's house had to be restricted.

As soon as Chen Mu's policy was proposed, it was naturally opposed by many people. Fortunately, Chen Mu has attracted many officials these days, and they are all helping him speak.

In the end, Chen Xingtian made a decision, completely according to the method Chen Mu said, to completely clean up the entire Daxia private soldiers within three months.

It will take time for the decree to be delivered, as only half of the construction of the road is now underway, and the rest of the road needs to be walked slowly.

However, the clean-up operation near the kingdom was well carried out, and the major families, whether they wanted to or not, had to reduce the number of private soldiers according to the latest regulations.

However, some people are in disobedience to the yang and yin, and they are clearly reducing their private soldiers, but in fact, they have just changed their names to Jiading, and they are still those people.

Therefore, Chen Mu decided to conduct a surprise inspection.

After inspection, Chen Mu found that some people had indeed changed, but some people had only changed on the surface. After the investigation, Chen Mu punished those big families who disobeyed the yang and the yin.

But this kind of thing is not good, the punishment is too heavy, so the effect is not very obvious, and there are still many people who commit crimes against the wind.

Chen Mu is also thinking about countermeasures.

On this day, Chen Mu came to a county near the country, Donglin County, to check on the Lin family's private soldiers.

The Lin family, the head of the family's study.

Lin Yezheng, the head of the family, was sitting opposite a man.

Lin Ye: "Protector Zuo, your news is really accurate, Chen Mu is really here today." ”

Zuo Protector smiled slightly, "Of course, the information of the Yin Tang Organization is accurate, it depends on whether the Lin family master has this determination." ”

Lin Ye sneered: "Hmph! I didn't have this determination, it was Chen Mu who forced me to make up my mind! ”

"These days, Chen Mu has recovered the land of the big family, and has used various means to loot our wealth, and now even private soldiers have to be restricted."

"Wait any longer, I don't know what the hell he's going to do!"

Zuo Protector smiled: "That's right, as the saying goes, the first strike is stronger, and the second strike suffers." Don't worry, I've already inquired, Chen Mu only brought 50 guards today, and there will be no problems. ”

Lin Yeteng stood up suddenly, "Okay!" I'm going to greet Chen Mu and give him a big gift by the way! ”

……

At this time, Chen Mu had already entered the gate of the Lin family, accompanied by exactly 50 guards.

Led by Zhang Zhong, the soldiers were also selected from the invincible flying army, and they were all warriors who had survived a hundred battles.

In addition, there are 20 maids, although they are wearing the costumes of Great Xia, but their faces are all alien.

This was given to Chen Mu by the Blue Phoenix, every woman has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and she can guarantee her loyalty to Chen Mu.

Only Chen Mu could give them orders in the native language of Dongyue, and they couldn't even understand other people's words. Not to mention betrayal.

Lin Ye greeted him with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, and you will not be welcomed!" ”
