Chapter 314: Entering the Great Hall
Then, Li Xingchen waved his hand, and a group of irrelevant people retreated with the two princes in their arms.
One night of spring supper.
After getting up, the days have to go on, and there are still countless major events in the court.
After months of heavy rain, the sun was shining for dozens of days, and people were upset.
On this day, the prime minister and the six ministries of the three provinces came to the imperial study with happy faces.
"Your Majesty, the list of building black blades has come one after another."
Li Xingchen was stunned for a moment, remembering that when the four seas came to the court, they ordered black blades.
"Your Majesty, there are hundreds of thousands of black blades to be crafted now, and there are many more on the way.
The number is too large, please ask Your Majesty for permission to build an arsenal. ”
"Has all the money arrived?" Li Xingchen asked.
Money before goods was the rule set at that time.
"Some of them have already arrived, and some of them are on their way." The official department is still in the book.
"Hmm." Li Xingchen nodded, and said after a while: "Since there are many lists, let's set up a few export black blade arsenals."
This matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Works. ”
As he spoke, Li Xingchen didn't know how many times he had wiped his sweat.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Ministry of Industry Shangshu said respectfully.
"Guys, step aside." Li Xingchen waved his hand absentmindedly.
"The ministers are leaving."
After the people left, Li Xingchen was half-lying on the dragon chair, holding a fan and fanning each other left and right.
It's so hot that I don't want to deal with government affairs.
I can't help but miss the air conditioners of later generations.
But in this era, it is impossible to make an air conditioner.
Let's not talk about no electricity, even if there is electricity, he is not a science and engineering man, and he doesn't know how to make air conditioners at all.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind.
Air conditioning can't be made.
But the ice... It's still possible.
In this era, there was no ice-making technology, but Li Xingchen, who had traveled through later generations, knew how to make ice cubes.
Summer goes well with ice.
Not only can it bring coolness in the hot summer, but it can also add a new industry to Daweiduo.
He immediately ordered the commander of the Praetorian Guard to leave the palace and buy ice-making raw materials such as nitrate ice.
Of course, in order to keep the ice-making recipe secret, he asked the Praetorian Commander to make a secret purchase.
In a short time, the Janissary Commander bought the raw materials and barrels, and prepared the water as required.
"Your Majesty, what do you want this for?" The Commander of the Praetorian Guard asked incomprehensibly.
"When the time comes, you'll know, go out and keep watch, and don't see anyone." Li Xingchen waved his hand.
The commander of the Praetorian Guard respectfully retreated, leaving Li Xingchen alone in the imperial study.
Two hours later, Chu Li saw that Li Xingchen hadn't returned to the dormitory for a seven-day family dinner for a long time, so he came to look for him, but was blocked by the commander of the Praetorian Guard.
"Niangniang, Your Majesty said that no one will be seen."
Chu Li was surprised, "What is Your Majesty doing inside on such a hot day?" ”
"You can't get fainted inside, right?" At this time, Gao Yuli walked out of the corner, sweat covered her forehead, and took out a handkerchief to wipe it, but it didn't work.
"This kind of hot weather is really much hotter than Liuli."
"Niangniang, Miss Gao, what is the important thing for you to find Your Majesty? If you don't have anything important, why don't you go back to your room first? If there's something important, I can't report it, so you'd better go back to your room first? ”
The commander of the Praetorian Guard smiled embarrassedly, seeing these two beauties swaying here, in case of heat stroke, His Majesty will blame him, and he must not be knifed?
Gao Yuli frowned, her eyes were crystal clear, and she looked at the closed door of the main hall, feeling that Li Xingchen must be doing something inside.
Otherwise, what was he doing alone inside on such a hot day?
"Get out of the way, I'm going to find my cousin." Gao Yuli put away Xiupa and was about to break in.
"Hey, no, no, no." The commander of the Praetorian Guard hurriedly opened his arms and guarded the door, "Your Majesty said, no one will see you, please don't let the humble position be embarrassed." ”
Suddenly, the door of the imperial study was opened, and Li Xingchen appeared at the door with a smile.
Gao Yuli subconsciously looked at it, and under the illumination of the sun, he felt that Li Xingchen was handsome, and his face was as clear as a carving, with sharp and angular features.
On the surface, he looks uninhibited, but in fact he is extremely delicate inside, with black and dense hair scattered behind him at will, and if you are not careful, you will fall under his charm.
Gao Yuli was stunned.
Cousin! This is my favorite cousin! No matter how you look at it, you can't get enough of it, no matter how you look at it, it's as handsome as ever!
Chu Li coughed lightly twice, hoping that Gao Yuli would be a little more reserved, and the harazi was about to flow out!
It's just that Chu Li can't figure it out, it's clear that Li Xingchen also has a friendship with Gao Yuli, why didn't he include her in the harem no matter how he blew the pillow wind?
Is it because the other party is a foreigner?
Chu Li was stunned.
She knew that Li Xingchen had never had a good impression of Fanbang aliens.
There is a high probability that this is the reason.
Gao Yuli's face was flushed, I don't know whether it was hot or ashamed, the corner of his eyes always stopped on Li Xingchen's face, and I saw that the corners of his mouth were raised, and he casually showed a smile, which was very charming.
Gao Yuli's heartbeat accelerated more and more.
Why is my cousin so handsome? Yes! Cousin!
"What are you doing here?" Li Xingchen furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Gao Yuli, "I've called you several times, let you in, I have something good to show you." ”
"Huh?" Gao Yuli came back to her senses, "What? What's good? ”
"Won't you know when you come in?" Li Xingchen took Chu Li's hand and took the lead in turning around and walking into the main hall.
The Praetorian Commander was curious and followed.
"This is it."
Li Xingchen pointed to the center, a large lump of ice placed in the barrel.
Chu Li, Gao Yuli, and the commander of the Praetorian Guards surrounded them with shocked expressions.
As soon as they got closer, a chill came over them, and that chill was the chill emitted by the ice.
"What's, what is this?" The three of them asked together.
"You can call him Bing, isn't it cool?" Li Xingchen said with a smile.
The Praetorian Commander shook his hands, tentatively touched the ice, and then withdrew it.
It's cold, it's so comfortable.
It's a feeling that makes you want to stop.
Chu Li looked at the ice cubes rising from wisps of white smoke, and also touched them like the commander of the Praetorian Guard.
Instantly gasped.
It's comfortable, it's so comfortable, and the heat all over my body seems to be suppressed by the ice all at once.
The coolness of the ice cubes makes you feel good.
"Your Majesty, how did you do that? That's amazing! Chu Li's eyes were full of admiration, and her delicate body trembled in disbelief.
If you have this thing every summer, then life will be much better, and I believe the people will love it too.
As if seeing what she was thinking, Li Xingchen smiled.
"I plan to put the ice cubes on the market and sell them every summer, so that the people can spend the summer in peace."
"Your Majesty, this will definitely be a big sell, leave it to me, and I will be responsible!"
Waiting for a justifiable reason to stay in the palace, Gao Yuli's eyes are full of color, can you let it go?
