Several people were playing cards while talking about what had happened recently in Chang'an City.

The recent rumor in Chang'an City is nothing more than the place called Wanbao Pavilion.

Although they had heard of Wanbao Pavilion before that, they had never talked about it.

After all, it was just a merchant, a shop opened by a person from the Western Regions to be exact, and there was nothing to be curious about.

But today, when we talk about it, we talk about that place.

After the opening of the Wanbao Pavilion, a group of kings and grandsons and ministers came to watch, and the auction was held that day, and even the current saint went to auction it in person.

I also bought a bottle of wine called Erguotou inside, saying that it was going to be dedicated to the Emperor Taishang, because the Emperor Taishang was going to celebrate his birthday.

Li Yuan knew about this, and that day his son personally sent the wine over, saying that he had obtained it by accident outside.

It's just that I didn't expect that it was auctioned in the Wanbao Pavilion, and I specially sent it to myself, this son has filial piety.

Including the drinks that the Emperor Taishang drinks every day, they are all provided by Wanbao Pavilion.

In addition to these, this summer is coming, why can Daming Palace use these ice so extravagantly.

Although the palace has several ice cellars, a large amount of ice is stored during the winter months to provide them for use in the summer.

Although there are a lot of ice cubes, the number of people in this palace is also very large.

Just relying on these ice cubes stored in the palace, the daily consumption is simply not enough to be so extravagant and wasteful.

At that time, I was still thinking about asking, why is there so much more ice in my Daming Palace this year than in previous years?

When I asked them about their subordinates, they just said that it was arranged by the Holy God today.

As soon as I heard that my son had arranged it, I didn't ask any more.

It wasn't until I heard them say this today that I realized that maybe these ice cubes were also transported from the Wanbao Pavilion.

Could it be that they dug a super-large ice cellar in Chang'an City?

Is it used to store ice cubes in the winter and sell them in the summer?

"Emperor Taishang, that's how they businessmen do business, they just care about interests.

Some time ago, His Majesty also bought a pair of weapons, which were sharpened like clay.

It is said that the weapons held by Jin Wuwei at that time were directly cut off by the weapons sold by others. ”

Yes?

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, such a powerful weapon was simply shocking.

Li Yuan nodded secretly, presumably the emperor could solve this matter by himself, and as a father and emperor, there was no need to give him more suggestions.

I also listened to what they said, and then what happened later, I don't know.

However, it is reported that the other weapons were purchased by the seven major families.

The Seven Families?

Speaking of the seven families, Li Yuan thought to himself.

That's it.

Come and come and play and play cards.

Playing cards, drinking lemonade, and chatting about other things, they had nothing to do with them.

"Your Majesty."

"Keming, you're here."

"Your Majesty, we have successfully made ice cream, please taste it first."

Du Ruhui asked someone to serve the ice cream, opened the quilt, opened the box, and looked at the boxy ice cream, Li Er picked up one and tasted it.

This time, I didn't dare to gobble up like before, and I had a bad stomach, and that incident can be said to be vivid.

"Uh-huh, yes, that's right, that's the taste, sweet, cool, you can't eat it in a big gulp.

It tastes the same as Zhaojiazhuang's ice cream!

Keming, can you eat this ice cream? ”

Du Ruhui shook his head.

"Your Majesty, after Weichen arranged for someone to make the ice cream, he came to the palace non-stop and dedicated it to His Majesty, and I have never eaten it."

"Okay, you can taste the ice cream too, and taste the taste of this ice cream."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

glanced at his personal officer.

"You also go in and get a stick and taste it, remember not to eat this thing too quickly, otherwise it will be easy to spoil your stomach."

Speaking of this, I seemed to think of my embarrassment in Zhaojiazhuang.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hearing what His Majesty said, Du Ruhui took two roots, one for himself and one for Wang De.

"Lord Sheydu."

The two of them savored it.

"Hahaha, how's it going, how does this taste?"

"Your Majesty, delicious, delicious, so delicious.

Weichen only felt a sweet smell of milk in his mouth, as well as a fragrance, and it was very cool. ”

Using the technique arranged by His Majesty, the secret ice cream is really delicious.

Just Your Majesty's ice cream? ”

"I also want to sell it and make a lot of money.

By the way, that day I heard my brother say that in addition to making this ice cream from cow's milk, it can also be made from goat's milk.

You can arrange for everyone to try more, don't be afraid of failure, you can also mix some honey in the water to make ice cubes for dividing. ”

"Ah, Your Majesty, if that's the case, wouldn't the ice cream become a popsicle?"

Oh, popsicles, that's a good name, it's called popsicles.

I didn't expect these words to be enough to make my own popsicle.

This popsicle is frozen with ordinary water mixed with honey or sugar.

Because the manufacturing cost is relatively low, the price can be cheaper, so that ordinary people in Chang'an City can afford it.

And those made from other cow's milk, goat's milk, the cost is also expensive, this price can be more expensive.

"Your Majesty!"

"That's right,

After you've made it, you'll taste it for yourselves.

When you're done, bring it to me. ”

"It's Your Majesty, Weichen is commanded!"

Du Ruhui got up to leave, but he had just left with his front foot, and the eldest grandson Wuji rushed in with his back foot!

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty!"

"You're here, come and try the ice cream that my Datang just made.

If you taste it, is there any difference between the ice cream made by my Datang and the one I ate in Zhaojiazhuang that day? ”

"Your Majesty!"

The eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and picked up one and began to eat.

"Your Majesty, this ice cream is similar to the ice cream made by Zhao Gongzi, it is really delicious!"

"Hahahaha, I have asked Keming to arrange a large number of people to make this ice cream, and I can make a lot of money again this summer, hahahaha!

"If other ministers hear His Majesty's words, they will definitely be in a frenzy again.

Your Majesty is the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, and he actually wants to make money every day and compete with the people for profit?

This doesn't match reason!

But how could his eldest grandson Wuji not know the real purpose of His Majesty's incessant use of these methods to accumulate wealth this year?

Your Majesty, this is really for the people of the world.

even did not hesitate to smear himself, with such a majesty, why is this Datang not strong?

"By the way, what are you doing here today?"

"Your Majesty, these letters are the news from the manpower arranged by Weichen in the past few days, please check it out for Your Majesty."

Since the beginning of summer, His Majesty has been thinking day and night about the people in the world.

A large number of people were immediately dispatched to begin investigations in the state capitals and counties.

Especially about the digging of deep wells.

Every day, news will be transmitted to Chang'an City one after another, and the eldest grandson Wuji will summarize and submit it.

After receiving the documents submitted by the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Er read it from beginning to end, and exhaled deeply.

The content of this document is clearly written, there are many places in my Datang, and there has been no rain since the beginning of summer.

The drought is spreading, and although there are many rivers that have not dried up, they are about to dry up soon.

In addition, several wells in many villages have dried up, and people have become struggling to even drink water.

But fortunately, in the spring, at the request of His Majesty, a deep well was drilled.

This deep well was dug very deep, and it was able to draw water for the people to drink.

But when they saw the dry harvest, all the people wept without tears.

Because they know that if God does not rain, and the river is dry now, it means that their grain production will be reduced this year, or even no harvest.

It turns out that His Majesty is really wise and martial, and he has already predicted a great drought in the summer in the spring.

Since Your Majesty has such a skill, I hope that Your Majesty can beg God to let my people get a rainfall.

Otherwise, the crops could be all gone.
