Datang started from being a salted fish

Chapter 628

So Li Shimin complained and told what happened today.

"Wang Yin's asking price is indeed a little unkind." After hearing this, Empress Changsun pretended to agree with Wang Yin, but she was very happy in her heart. . .

You must know that she had experienced the air conditioner two days ago when she accompanied Li Shimin to the racetrack to bet on the horses, but when she left, she wished she could pick a few off on the spot. . .

Now that Empress Changsun couldn't be happier after learning that Her Majesty bought the air conditioner!

After all, when the air conditioner is bought back, no matter what status or status is considered, she must be a queen. . .

After making up his mind, Li Shimin made an order: Since he has decided to promote saltpeter ice making, there is no need to hesitate any more.

Of course, after the decree was made, people were ordered to start large-scale ice-making in the palace: anyway, saltpeter is not expensive, and now that we have this method, we will naturally enjoy ice cubes to our heart's content this summer!
After dealing with all this, Li Shimin sat down at the desk and began to correct the memorial papers, but not long after he corrected, the person who pulled the goods came back with a lot of air conditioners and so on.

"Your Majesty, what is this?" After seeing the jacuzzi on the ground, Empress Changsun asked curiously: "It looks like the one at Wang Yin's house... the bathtub is similar?"

"That's right, this thing is the kind of jacuzzi at Wang Yin's house." Li Shimin nodded upon hearing the words: "I heard from Wang Yin that this thing can massage the body and relieve fatigue through the water flow."

Speaking of which, after Wang Yin sold the refrigerator to Li Shimin before, he mentioned the matter of the bathtub, and Li Shimin agreed in a daze at the time. At this moment, Li Shimin looked at the jacuzzi with great interest: Turn around and install it. I must try to see if it is as magical as Wang Yin said!

The job of being an emperor may seem glamorous, but in fact it is a very tiring job, especially when the emperor is still preparing to work hard to be a wise king.

Not to mention that just reviewing the memorials for several hours a day is enough to drink a pot. If it weren't for Li Shimin's birth as the emperor and his health, he would be even more unbearable!
The reason why Wang Yin thinks that the emperor Li Shimin looks quite idle is that the things he created have changed the lives of the people in the Tang Dynasty drastically, which invisibly reduced some of Li Shimin's workload; before Wang Yin appeared, Li Shimin had just It is not an exaggeration to be exhausted every day when he ascended the throne. . .

If Wang Yin's jacuzzi can really relieve the fatigue of the body as he said, it would be worth the money: after all, only when the body is healthy can there be other capitals!Li Shimin would not refuse to spend some money to improve the quality of life.

Otherwise, why make so much money?
Take it to the coffin? . .

Soon those people from the Ministry of Industry came over, and immediately Li Shimin arranged for them to install the air conditioner and jacuzzi for himself first: things like laying circuits in other places can be done slowly, and the priority of the emperor's room is naturally It's the highest!
Because this kind of work has been done several times before, it is obviously much more efficient for the group of people in the Ministry of Industry to sit up now, and they have dealt with all the rooms that Li Shimin usually uses in about two hours.

"Sure enough, an immortal like Wang Yin can make such a miraculous thing as an air conditioner..." After enjoying this cool feeling again, Empress Changsun narrowed her eyes comfortably. beautiful.

"Guanyin maidservant, although this air conditioner is amazing, but this jacuzzi is also very exciting!" At this moment, Li Shimin's interest in jacuzzi is obviously greater than that of air conditioner.

After all, he has experienced the magic of this air conditioner before, but this jacuzzi is still a new thing for him!
"Let's go, accompany me to see how miraculous this jacuzzi can be!" Immediately, Li Shimin pulled Empress Changsun and walked towards the bathroom.

Although it is said that he wants to experience the magic of this jacuzzi, in Li Shimin's opinion, if he can experience it with his queen, the experience can be considered perfect. . .

"This water actually flows by itself!" After starting the jacuzzi, Li Shimin stretched out his hand and felt the water flow in it, and he was amazed: "Come, maidservant of Guanyin, let me experience this specific taste together!"

"Your Majesty..." Hearing Li Shimin say this, Empress Changsun blushed immediately.

Although Li Shimin is talking about experiencing the jacuzzi now, he has to take off his clothes when taking a bath. . .

Moreover, Empress Changsun was very clear about what Her Majesty was going to feel when she really got into the bathtub. . .

Although a little embarrassed, Empress Changsun did not refuse Li Shimin's request, neither public nor private. . .

Speaking of it, Wang Yin is quite considerate: considering that Li Shimin is the emperor, he must not wash alone when he takes a bath, and since he is the emperor, how many people will wash together at that time is uncertain. . .So the bathtub that Wang Yin chose for Li Shimin can basically accommodate three or five people at the same time. . .

After all, this size is not small. If it is bigger, it can't be called a bathtub, it's called a swimming pool. . .

"Your Majesty...it really is very comfortable..." Feeling the massage sensation of the water flowing in the bathtub on her body, Empress Changsun sighed comfortably: "This thing is amazing..."

"Wang Yin, this kid really didn't lie to me..." Li Shimin naturally felt the benefits of the jacuzzi, and at this moment, this guy was relaxing with his eyes closed. . .

"Guanyin servant girl...you are really getting more and more beautiful..." After feeling it for a while, Li Shimin turned his head to look at his queen, and at the same time his hands began to be dishonest.

"Your Majesty..." After realizing that Li Shimin's big hands started to make trouble on her body, Empress Changsun's face blushed again, and she knew very well what would happen next.

Continue to omit tens of thousands of words. . . .

Still only the purest people can see the specific content. . . . . .

. . . . . .

Li Shimin's decree spread quickly, and the next day all the people in Chang'an City knew that saltpeter could make ice.

When they heard the news, the common people were stunned at first: it's not that they didn't believe it, but mainly because it felt a bit too sudden!Just put saltpeter in water to make ice?Wouldn't this be a little too easy?

Those who had saltpeter at home ran to try it immediately, and when they saw the real ice coming out, they almost went crazy: it turned out to be real!Just put the saltpeter in it and you can make ice!It's really that simple! ! !
Then they started hoarding saltpeter frantically. . .

What are you waiting for if you don’t hoard more before everyone reacts?Are you waiting for the price to go up before you buy it? !

The facts were similar to what they expected. After all the people found out that saltpeter ice making was real, they all went to buy saltpeter. Unfortunately, when they went again, the price of saltpeter had already doubled. . .

Some profiteers even ganged up to drive up the price of saltpeter, and seized the time to go to other places to buy saltpeter frantically: You must know that this news is only popular in Chang'an City, and other places don't know it yet.Hurry up and hoard a batch of saltpeter now, and you will definitely make a lot of money in the future! ! !
Originally, the common people were still happy after they learned that saltpeter could really make ice: You must know that enjoying ice cubes in summer was only enjoyed by rich people. I never thought that we could have such a day!It's almost like dreaming!
But later the price of the saltpeter was pushed up higher and higher, so high that the common people sadly found that even if they had a way, they couldn't afford the saltpeter anymore. . .

After learning of this situation, both Wang Yin and Li Shimin were angry!

Li Shimin gave up such a big opportunity to make money just to gain his prestige from the common people, but now he is still gaining his prestige after being cheated by these profiteers?
Wang Yin is also very dissatisfied with the actions of these profiteers: Made!Brother made this thing to let the common people have nothing to eat and play with ice balls, not for you to use it to make black-hearted money!

Then the two of them combined the price of saltpeter directly in the name of Li Shimin to return to the original shape, and all the profiteers who had joined forces to drive up the price of saltpeter were pulled out and thrown to work!
Originally Li Shimin was planning to throw them into the prison, but Wang Yin felt that it would be a waste of food to let them eat in the prison, so he threw them all to build roads.

I am worried that there is no one to build the road. . .

Since it is a punishment, these profiteers must have no salary at all.

Not only that, but even the food they usually eat is much worse than that of ordinary people: After all, people who go to build roads belong to an employment relationship, and what they eat is considered a working meal; and they are in a situation of being punished, so they can barely survive starvation. . .

Of course, it was also Wang Yin's idea to be paraded through the streets before being sent to repair the road.

Seeing that these vicious profiteers were finally punished by His Majesty, the common people let out a breath of anger: All kinds of onlookers and insults were facing them along the way, anyway, how to relieve their anger!
As for the throwing of rotten eggs and rotten cabbage that often appear in TV dramas, it didn't happen: Just kidding, cabbage and eggs are food!How can it be wasted on these scumbags? !

Although the people of Tang Dynasty have completely solved the problem of eating, it is only limited to the degree of fullness.

You must know that he will get a little tired after eating potatoes all the time. . .

It's not that no one thought of throwing potatoes at them, but considering that although potatoes are a bit tired of eating, he is still food after all, isn't he?No matter how you look at it, it is inappropriate to waste food like this. . .

After dealing with these profiteers, the price of saltpeter dropped back to the original level again, and now all the people can finally enjoy ice cubes in the hot summer!
And Li Shimin's goal of earning his reputation has indeed been achieved. Now people can hear praises for him everywhere in the streets and alleys.

From the common people's point of view, although the method of making ice with saltpeter is probably thought up by the immortal Wang Yin, the matter of punishing profiteers is indeed an order of His Majesty today!

It doesn't matter whether His Majesty thought of making ice with saltpeter, but His Majesty's move now is really for the sake of us common people: After all, no matter how much these profiteers drive up the price of saltpeter, it is impossible to affect His Majesty's use of saltpeter. It's no wonder that His Majesty can do this!
Besides, the matter of making ice with saltpeter might really be discovered by His Majesty. After all, this thing does not involve immortality or anything, as long as you simply throw saltpeter into it!
If this is the case, then our Majesty is even greater: if this thing is sold for money, it will be a lot of money!Your Majesty can sacrifice such a large sum of money to benefit our common people. Where can you find such a good Majesty? !
In the early morning of the next day, all civil and military officials also praised Li Shimin together, and all kinds of flattery basically never stopped.

Even Wei Zheng, the number one troll in the Tang Dynasty, praised Li Shimin's deed of serving the people wholeheartedly, which made Li Shimin so excited that he almost died on the spot!
Being flattered by Wei Tongzi is not an ordinary thing, it is simply too fulfilling!

Moreover, Li Shimin was no longer satisfied with hearing others say that the people praised him. In the end, he directly disguised himself and slipped out of the palace to Ting Street and various places in Chang'an City to listen to the walls.

The whole is like a pervert. . .

Sometimes just listening can no longer satisfy him, and this guy would even go to discuss with others about how good His Majesty is today, how wise and mighty he is, and so on. In the end, he blushed a little. . .

Fortunately, the mainstream atmosphere in Chang'an City is now flattering Li Shimin, so although his performance is a bit too much, it has not aroused people's suspicion. Although others wonder why this man looks rich, but feels so strongly . . .

After all, it is these ordinary people who benefit the most from making ice with saltpeter. It seems that a rich person like him should not be so excited. . .

However, people were puzzled and wondered, after all, they were just puzzled for a while, and didn't say much. . .

At most, he thinks that this person is upright to fight for the common people, or has some strange hobbies. . .

school library
A twelve or thirteen-year-old student is holding a book and sitting at the table quietly watching it. The magical knowledge in the book makes him deeply involved and unable to extricate himself.

It may be that he is very talented or smart enough. Anyway, what the teacher teaches in class can basically be mastered by listening to it once, and he can use it flexibly after reading the book to consolidate it.

So now his study progress is already in the first echelon of the whole school, and he is still the best among them!
For his situation, Li Tai and the others don't have a good solution at present: they can't ignore other students and go to teach him, right?What's more, there are many people in the same situation as him. If we set up a class just for them, the teachers will not be enough. . .

Although the school recruited some teachers later, they could only learn while teaching, and their learning progress was not even as fast as these first-tier students. . .

Originally, Li Tai also planned to let these students with fast learning progress come as part-time teachers, and it would be no problem to teach the lower grades; but only some of them agreed with this idea, and some of the rest As long as I stand on the podium, I will be frightened immediately. . .

In the end, Li Tai could only throw them into the library and let them learn by themselves. As for what kind of knowledge to learn, it all depends on their hobbies. . .

"Huh? It's still possible to do this?" When the student saw the knowledge point of making ice with saltpeter, the student was surprised in a low voice, which caused the surrounding people to cast curious glances at him.

Speaking of which, the courses taught in the school are mainly grades one to six, and the junior high school curriculum has not yet been formally established, so it is the first time he has seen these chemical knowledge.

Seeing that others were staring at him, the student covered his mouth in embarrassment, and when others looked away, he stood up and put the book back on the shelf, then walked out of the library.

After all, it's impolite to make loud noises in the library. Even though my own voice wasn't too loud just now, I still disturbed others after all.

Li Tai's office.

"Bang bang bang!" The student walked to the front and back of the office door and knocked on the door lightly.

"Come in." After hearing someone knocking on the door, Li Tai responded casually, then put down the test paper in his hand and looked towards the door: "It's Qiming, what can I do to see the teacher?"
