After the ice-making recipe was announced, the people who had some money left over at home couldn't stand the heat, so they learned to make ice themselves.

When I put ice cubes in the house, I don't know if it's their illusion, but I really feel that the house is much cooler.

Those whose families are poor will get ice cubes sent by the government. It's not as much as you make it yourself, but it's better than nothing.

When the weather is at its hottest, a sip of ice drink can also keep people going.

Not only did the capital spread the recipe, but the rest of the state capitals also posted notices, reading that many people were illiterate, and some officials deliberately stood aside and read them word by word.

Knowing this recipe, saltpeter from all over the country was immediately procured.

Some families held saltpeter mines in their hands, and after learning that saltpeter was needed for this method of turning water into ice, they tightened their grip on the resources in their hands and raised the price of saltpeter.

At the most ruthless time, a tael of saltpeter can sell for a tael of gold!

Naturally, the court would not ignore such an outrageous price, and they had learned about the normal selling price of saltpeter before the notice was posted, so they stipulated that it would rise by a maximum of ten cents, and if it was any higher, it would be a violation of the law.

In this way, those families who owned saltpeter mines were naturally unwilling, and they couldn't resist the imperial court, so they pinched saltpeter and refused to sell it again.

If you don't let the price rise, don't you allow us not to sell?

Saltpeter is in our hands, we say there is it, we say it's gone, it's gone, and the court can't control what we sell in our shop, right?

Fortunately, there are saltpeter mines on the side of the imperial court, and Su Hengyu also vaguely remembers some ways to find saltpeter mines, which she wrote on the recipe and gave them to the eldest princess.

Emperor Wei naturally saw it, but it was because he saw it that he became even more angry.

After receiving the news from the people below, Emperor Wei looked at his eldest daughter who was specially called by him, couldn't suppress his anger, and directly put the news in front of her: "You can also take a look at the faces of these families!" ”

"Fang Zi was offered by Su Hengyu and you, if the two of you move a little bit of your mind to make profits for yourself at this time, you will leave Fang Zi, not to mention making a lot of money now, but you can always have tens of thousands of taels of silver. But you didn't do anything, but left everything to me. ”

"But these families with saltpeter in their hands can clearly take the opportunity to make a lot of money, but they are still so greedy that they can do a thing of one or two saltpeter and one or two gold! And your two younger brothers, who can't do good things all day long, dare to get involved in this kind of thing! I don't even know when the royal family was so poor that they asked the two princes to use such dirty means to collect money! ”

Wei Zining looked through the news at the suggestion of Emperor Wei, and found that there were two princes who were also implicated in the original saltpeter price increase.

Moreover, these two people did not have saltpeter mines in their hands, and the saltpeter in their hands was still snatched from the small merchants next to them.

It's no wonder that Emperor Wei was angry.

Wei Zining didn't show it on his face, and said a few words of comfort to Emperor Wei: "Don't be angry, your father will soon be the emperor's holy birthday, so you can't be angry on such an auspicious day." The two royal brothers are probably also bewitched by the people around them, they are still young and ignorant. ”

Emperor Wei snorted coldly: "Since you are not sensible yet, you don't have to go to court, let's continue to go back to study!" ”

Such words came out of Emperor Wei's mouth, and almost ruined most of the future of those two princes.

After saying this, Emperor Wei said to his daughter again: "This time, I know that you and Su Hengyu should take the first credit. It's just that Su Hengyu has a special identity, she has a lot of recipes in her hands, and I can't expose her to others, so all the rewards will be sent to you, and you can transfer the things to Su Hengyu in private. She's a nice girl, you can get in touch with more. ”

The emperor's praise is very difficult to hear, but it is a pity that there are not many people present now, if these words can be spread, Su Hengyu will become the hottest girl in the capital in the next day.

Wei Zining secretly felt sorry for Su Hengyu, but she had already thought about how to make up for her in the future.

Not to mention, if he can really ascend the throne, Su Hengyu will at least be the prime minister!

The father and daughter soon talked about something else, Emperor Wei didn't have much leisure time, Wei Zining didn't stay in the palace for long, and left the palace with a rich reward.

On the other side, in the mansion of the governor of Yuezhou, Meng Wencong, a young man who had collided with Su Hengyu before, finally got information about Su Hengyu from the young man.

After learning about Su Hengyu's identity and the rumors circulating outside, when he returned to Meng Wencong, his tone was already a little disdainful: "That person is just a girl from the down-and-out Hou family, who grew up to the age of twelve in the countryside because she was held wrong before." Since childhood, she has been raised by an orthodox noblewoman.,Withdrawn and violent.。 ”

He told everything related to Su Hengyu, and saw that most of the interest in his young master's eyes had lost most of it, and only then did his heart settle down.

The young master didn't cause much trouble when he was in Yuezhou before, and many of the girls he kidnapped ended up buried in the back garden.

Fortunately, those girls are ordinary folk girls and have no identity, so it's okay to stuff a sum of money into their family.

But that Miss Su is different, although she has a bad reputation, she is a noble girl in the end, and she can't let the young master do it at will.

Meng Wencong said lightly after listening to the little girl's words: "Okay, you can go and ask me about her whereabouts." ”

"Young Master?" The little guy was a little strange, didn't the young master already have no interest in Miss Su before?

Meng Wencong smiled: "A girl who is beautiful and born in the Hou Mansion, but is disliked by the family, isn't it just right for me to be my steproom?" Anyway, my father and mother have been urging me to marry another one for a long time, this surname Su looks like me, although the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has declined, but it is enough to be my steproom. ”

The little guy also understood when he heard this, and realized that Childe didn't plan to mess around this time, so he immediately did what he was told.

It's just that he also has some pity in his heart, such a good-looking girl, I don't know how long she can last when she enters her son-in-law's backyard?

At this time, Su Hengyu had no idea that two people had already talked about her, and she was staying in the glass workshop and discussing the style of the new tea set with the craftsmen.

This new tea set was meant to be given to foreign guests, and the totems that symbolize the country are different due to the different customs of each country.

Su Hengyu wanted to find out all these totems and ask the craftsmen to engrave the totems on some places that are not rude.

"It should be engraved more exquisitely, so that those gentlings can see how exquisite our Great Wei's skills are!" Su Hengyu said to the craftsmen.

The Shengshou of the Son of Heaven naturally attracted the attention of the world, and with the arrival of officials from all over the world, those foreign envoys who submitted to the Great Wei also rushed to the capital one after another.

In one of the carriages, inlaid with various colored gemstones, a young girl with a delicate face showed a nostalgic look at the scenery of the capital street.

I'm finally back.

Su Baozhu, this time I will never make you feel better!
