Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 36 Where did the ice come from the Prince's Mansion?
The princes and grandsons in the main hall also expressed strong curiosity when they heard the conversation between Zhu Yunxi and Qi Tai.

Compared with Qi Tai's adult thinking, teenagers and children's brains are more active, and they have no inherent cognition of things.

Qi Tai takes it for granted that the sky is the sky, and doesn't think about why the sky is the sky, or what the sky is.

But following Zhu Yunxi's inspiration, these royal teenagers developed a series of associations, seriously thinking about what the sky is?
"Mr. Qi, heaven has two meanings. One is broad and the other is narrow."

"However, you have specified the color of the sky, so let me explain to you what the sky is in the narrow sense."

"The sky in a narrow sense is a natural phenomenon. It is a thousand kilometers from the ground where we stand to the sky... Wait, let me convert the units."

"The distance from the ground where we stand to the sky within 300,000 feet can be called the sky in a narrow sense, and it is also called the atmosphere."

"The atmosphere can also be divided into the troposphere, stratosphere, ozone layer, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere..."

"The atmosphere has no color. The blue sky we see during the day is not the real color of the sky, but the color left after sunlight passes through the atmosphere and filters out other colored light."

"As for why the sky is black at night, it's even simpler."

"In the absence of light, everything you see is dark at night, but it doesn't mean that it will be dark tomorrow."

"After talking about the sky, let's talk about the earth."

"Most of the loess is concentrated in the Yellow River Basin. We are now located in the south of the Yangtze River, which is not the main distribution area of ​​loess. It is mainly red soil and brown-red soil."

"Moreover, there is a large area of ​​pure black soil in the northeast of Daming, and there are soils of various colors such as white and brown in other areas of Daming."

"So, the first sentence of the thousand-character prose you taught me is wrong, and it's so wrong, how do you want me to learn it?"

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, Qi Tai felt his head buzzing.

Although he couldn't understand the atmosphere, stratosphere, troposphere, etc., but seeing Zhu Yunxie's determined expression and confident tone, he instinctively felt that this was a very systematic knowledge, but he had never heard of it because of his shallow knowledge. .

Therefore, even if he didn't understand, he still didn't dare to question or even refute at will.

The students in the Daben hall were dumbfounded to see that Zhu Yunxi was able to refute the master.

Although they didn't understand it, they would admire it as long as it could embarrass their husband.

Ever since, there was another round of cheers from Hao Zhi Wish.

Seeing that Dahontang was losing control, Qi Tai quickly took out the imperial ruler and patted the table vigorously.

This ruler is in the main hall, it is as effective as Shang Fang's sword.

At the top, you can fight the prince and county king, and at the bottom, you can fight the prince and grandson.

Seeing Qi Tai take out the ruler, everyone closed their mouths in resentment, but they secretly slandered in their hearts, could this gentleman not afford it?

When Zhu Yunxi saw the ruler, he couldn't help but took a step back.

He just wanted to pretend to be tough, but he didn't want to be beaten.

"Mr. Qi, what do you mean, you just want to do it if you can't say it!"

Qi Tai was taken aback when he heard the words, then smiled wryly and bowed to Zhu Yunxi.

"His Highness Zhu Yunxi misunderstood, Mr. Ben just asked them to be quiet."

"I fully accept what you just said about the color of the land. It is indeed a typo in the Thousand Characters. At least the writing is not very rigorous. Yellow alone is not enough to describe the color of the land in the world."

"But I don't quite understand the color of the sky you just mentioned. Please help me explain my confusion, Your Highness."

Zhu Yunxi saw that Qi Tai's attitude was so humble, so he stopped pretending and thought about how to use a simple and straightforward way to let the ancients understand the knowledge of the atmosphere.

"If there is a prism here, I'll grab the sun for you and let you see the color of the sun..."

"But I haven't had time to make glass yet. Where can I find a ready-made prism?"

"If you don't have glass, you can make quick ice, but where can you get ice in this hot day?"

Zhu Yunxi muttered to himself while pondering.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with the words, but Qi Tai who was sitting next to him, and the princes and grandchildren sitting below were shocked by his words.

what?
He can catch the sun!

What is glass? Is it colored glaze?
Ice... There is no shortage of ice, right?

"Second brother, I know where there is ice!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he looked at Zhu Yunxi in puzzlement.

"Where is it?"

Zhu Yunxi didn't say anything when he heard the words, but asked with a happy face.

"Second brother, just tell me how much you want, and I'll get it for you right away!"

Zhu Yunxi casually gestured and said.

"It doesn't take much, just one foot square."

"But it needs to be frozen solid, and it can't be shattered at the first touch. Also, you need a dagger, and you have to cut the ice into a special shape."

Hearing the words, Yu Wang Zhu Gui beckoned to Zhu Yunxi.

"This king has a dagger here!"

While King Yu was speaking, he bent down and pulled out a delicate dagger inlaid with pearls and jade from his boots.

Seeing that the dagger was in hand, Zhu Yunxi immediately looked at Zhu Yunxi and said.

"Can you do it by yourself?"

"Is there anyone who can do me a favor and go fetch ice with Zhu Yunxi?"

The Daben Hall was full of brats, and when they heard that they could skip class openly, they all raised their little hands one after another.

"I I I..."

"I go……"

Zhu Yunxi casually pointed to two people, the pair of crouching dragon and phoenix chicks sitting next to him.

"The so-and-so, it's just the two of you, you two go with Zhu Yunxi, and you need to be quick..."

"okay!"

Min Wang Zhu Wei and Han Wang Zhu Song, seeing Zhu Yunxi calling their names, agreed very happily, and then surrounded Zhu Yunxi and left the main hall.

After seeing the three of them leave, Zhu Yunxi decided to use this gap to conduct a small experiment for them.

"Everyone, I am idle anyway, let me show you a talent."

A group of brats below asked subconsciously.

"What talent?"

"Artificial rainbow!"

When Zhu Yunxi first entered the main hall, he saw several large vats filled with water standing outside.

It is very simple to make an artificial rainbow, just pump water in a specific direction.

Not long after, a rainbow appeared in the courtyard of the Dahon Hall, which attracted the amazement of the teenagers and burst into cheers.

……

As soon as Zhu Yunxi and others walked out of the main hall, they were sweating under the bright sun.Now they heard a burst of exclamation and cheers from inside, and the min king Zhu Wei and the Han king Zhu Song couldn't help retreating.

"Zhu Yunxi, where are you going to take the two of us to get ice!"

"Not far!"

"It's in our Prince's Mansion!"

When the two of them heard this, they secretly thought that it was indeed not far away, and it was only a short turn north from the main hall.

But there is another curiosity in the two of them. It is only May, and it is far from the day when the cellars will be opened to get ice. There is no ice even in the father's palace. Where can they get ice from the Prince's Mansion?
Until Zhu Yunxi led the two to the mourning hall, and pointed to several large basins of ice around the coffin, the two opened their mouths in surprise.

This ice is used to cool down the prince's body and prevent it from decomposing. If you take it, you will be beaten to death by your father, right?
"Why are you two still standing there?"

"Take it!"

"If my concubine sees it, I will suffer!"
