Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 78 Yu Daoxiang's Exploration
"Since Brother Li knows about the hospital, it's easy to say. The emperor appointed me as the director of the Imperial Army Hospital. The hospital needs all kinds of supplies for daily affairs. There should be no guild monopoly in the market before. For example, the hospital needs a lot of lime and gypsum. The market sells very little, and there are a large number of gypsum mines in a few small barren hills outside the city, and the lime can be formed as long as the lime kiln is opened and burned with dry wood and grass. Originally, I wanted to make the 20 A number of craftsmen and more than 60 family members and relatives of guards have come to provide lime and gypsum mines to the hospital for a long time. Since your business cannot be developed for a while, this business will be handed over to you! Also, the hospital will use a large amount of gypsum mines in the future. The thing called a mask, I will give you one when I leave later, you can do it, and then sell it to the Imperial Army Hospital." Ye Chen said.

The three of Li Junhao stood up, with expressions of gratitude on their faces, bowed to Ye Chen, and said, "Thank you sir, sir, don't worry, the lime, plaster, and masks will be shared [-]-[-] by our Nanbang and Sir." .”

Originally, according to Ye Chen's idea, he didn't care about the plaster, lime, and mask business at all. His real purpose was to subdue Li Junhao and the more than 200 gang members behind him who went through the fierce training of Yongle Border Town. , for your own use.But this matter can't be rushed, and at this time, we can't not accept any benefits, otherwise it will make Li Junhao and his party feel uneasy.

Ye Chen said: "Fifty percent is too much, one percent will do."

Before Li Junhao refused, Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "That's it, I still need some money?"

Li Junhao saw that Ye Chen had made up his mind, so he didn't want to say much, thinking that he would find a chance to repay his favor in the future.

"However, this business is still too small. I'm afraid it's still not enough for more than 200 of you to support your family. Um... If I can make a lot of ice cubes and let you sell them in Kaifeng, will you be able to do it?" Ye Chen Glancing at the three of them, he said again.

"Ice cubes!"

"Lots of ice! How is this possible?"

The three of them looked at each other, thinking so in their hearts, but they didn't say it because of Ye Chen's identity.But in a blink of an eye, they remembered all the miraculous deeds they had heard about Ye Chen these days, and they couldn't help but cheer up, and their eyes became brighter and brighter.It is not impossible for this Sir to turn poisonous salt into good salt and produce a large amount of ice!Thinking of the scene of selling ice cubes under the current scorching heat, the hearts of the three became hot.

At the same time, Ye Chen had asked Ma Gangzi who had been waiting by the side to find some saltpeter, and then brought a water tank, filled it with water and brought it up.

When it was time for a cup of tea, Ma Gangzi brought several servants, a large bag of saltpeter, a copper basin, and a jar to the living room.

Let all the servants go down, Ye Chen said to Ma Gangzi again: "Gangzi! You let the brothers watch the door, don't let anyone in, and then you come in and watch, after learning, the cost of ice in the future , you choose a trustworthy person to take charge."

When Ma Gangzi came back, under the expectant eyes of the four people, Ye Chen poured all the saltpeter into the tank, and poured most of the water in the tank, only to see the water and saltpeter react violently, the water splashed, and there were explosions from time to time. When the water surface was stable, Ye Chen poured the prepared cold boiled water into the copper basin and let the copper basin float on the water.After a while, under the wide-eyed gaze of the five people, white ice patterns began to appear on the surface of the water. After half a stick of incense, the surface of the water tank was covered with white ice, and the water in the copper basin also began to freeze. .

Li Junhao and Ma Gangzi involuntarily touched the ice cubes in the copper basin with their hands, and couldn't help shivering. When they looked at Ye Chen, their eyes were full of disbelief and disbelief.

Seeing this, Ye Chen looked serious, and said solemnly: "Brother Li! Although this secret method is miraculous, it is easy to learn. If it is leaked, it will cut off our money. So I would rather make less ice, or work harder for one person. Those who make ice must use trustworthy people.”

At this time, Li Junhao was very grateful to Ye Chen. Ye Chen unreservedly showed the secret method like turning a stone into gold in front of the three of them. This is a lot of trust.How much profit and money will be involved in this. Think about the scene where everyone in Kaifeng City queues up to sell ice in summer and autumn.He seemed to see white silver rolling in.

Li Junhao took a deep breath, and a dagger appeared in his sleeve. When Ma Gangzi's face changed slightly and Ye Chen's pupils shrank, he casually cut his palm, and said solemnly: "I, Li Junhao, swear an oath here, If the ice secret method is leaked from my hands, I will die a terrible death."

Seeing this, Ma Jian and Shiliu also took out their daggers, imitated Li Junhao, cut their wrists, and made a similar oath.

Seeing this, Ma Gangzi was ready to follow suit, but Ye Chen reprimanded him angrily.

Ye Chen didn't stop the three of Li Junhao, and he was glad that he had not misjudged the person.Knowing that this matter has been accomplished, he said: "When you go back, you will set up a few shops in various places in Kaifeng City. The shops don't need to be too big, but there must be a cellar. How can you get saltpeter without letting others know that you need a lot of money?" Saltpeter, so people infer the method of making ice, you go back and discuss it yourself. If you meet someone you can't deal with, you can report my name, and even push all the ice making to me, just say that you are in charge of selling ice Just a block."

"My lord, don't worry, we will definitely settle this matter. Hmm... My lord will take [-]% of the profits from selling ice cubes, and we will take [-]%. Do you think it's feasible, my lord?" Li Junhao said.

Ye Chen smiled slightly, and said decisively: "[-] to [-] percent, that's it."

Seeing Ye Chen's firm attitude, the three of Li Junhao and his party no longer entangled in this matter, but their gratitude to Ye Chen couldn't help but deepened in their hearts.

Li Junhao and his party took Ye Chen's badge of the director of the Forbidden Army Hospital and left. The three left Ye Mansion, and after a brief discussion, they split up.

Ma Jian, the deputy leader of the Southern Gang, took Ye Chen's waist card and went directly to the Dasong Imperial Army Hospital to find Tian Ming, who was in charge of purchasing supplies, to discuss the supply of plaster, lime, masks, charcoal, etc.

Li Junhao, on the other hand, led the sixteen summoned help center and began to implement the ice-making and ice-selling business.

When Ye Chen returned to the backyard, he found that Shui'er didn't dare to look at him, his eyes were evasive, and his face was red and cute.And Yu Daoxiang still looked charming, giving Ye Chen a heart-beating wink.

"You can't teach Shui'er bad." Ye Chen glared at Yu Daoxiang, looked at Shui'er, and remembered that Shui'er's father was brutally killed by Yu Daoxiang. If Shui'er knew about this, what would happen? what kind of result?Ye Chen suddenly felt a headache.

"Brother Ye! I'm going to see my mother." Before Yu Daoxiang could speak, Shui'er lowered his head and said weakly, before the words settled down, he jumped and ran away.

"What's going on here? Why did Shui'er suddenly become shy?" Ye Chen looked at Yu Daoxiang's beautiful face, and secretly praised Yu Daoxiang's beauty, and forced himself not to be affected by Yu Daoxiang's charm.

"Hee hee! I can't tell you stinky men what the little girl is thinking." Yu Daoxiang said with a smile.

Ye Chen stared at Yu Daoxiang, and said solemnly: "Do you know that Liu Nan, Shui'er's biological father, was the spy of the Great Song Army who was brutally killed by you in the barren temple outside the border city of Yongle."

Yu Daoxiang showed an extremely sweet and lovely look, and said: "I know! What's the matter then, I plan to spend a few years, and when the little girl grows up to a few years old, I will tell her personally about it."

Ye Chen was speechless for a moment, wondering if it was a woman's mind that was hard to guess, or a madman's mind was hard to guess.

He didn't want to get entangled in this troublesome matter, remembering the doubts in his heart, he asked: "What is your relationship with that Pipa queen? Now that you have replaced her, what happened to her? Could it be that you killed her?" !"

When Ye Chen met Yu Daoxiang for the first time, the latter's gorgeous clothes, Yu Daoxiang's current Jingchai skirt and cool home clothes still make her look elegant and refined, full of endless temptation.Looking horizontally and vertically, she doesn't look like a cruel witch.

Yu Daoxiang was standing gracefully on the side of the gazebo at this time, holding a willow branch folded from nowhere in his hand, and stretching one end into the small pool, and he did not know what wonderful technique he performed, the goldfish and carp in the pool followed suit. Swimming with the willow branches that didn't eat their heads, there were at least three or four hundred of them. Ye Chen hadn't noticed that there were so many fish in his small pond before.

Hearing Ye Chen's question at this time, Yu Daoxiang lifted the willow branch out of the water casually, and hundreds of goldfish and carp jumped out of the water, forming a wonderful scene similar to a carp leaping over a dragon's gate.

Yu Daoxiang's hand seems to be lifting weights lightly, but in fact, he has used all the martial arts and Taoism he has learned, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he used the strength of breastfeeding.And while she was doing this, she kept watching Ye Chen's every move from the corner of her eye.

Seeing that Ye Chen didn't have any changes in his body other than being amazed, he couldn't help thinking to himself: "It seems that he really doesn't have any real energy or magic power in his body, but what happened to the scene in Yongle border city more than two months ago? It is not affected by his charming skills, why the Tiantian star jade pendant was driven by itself before, what is going on? Also, the arrow he shot can hurt Si Luoyi, how can this be done by ordinary warriors I see. Is it true that as daddy said, he was a fairy who was knocked down from the mortal world, and turned from a fairy to a mortal? Although he no longer has mana, his fairy heart and fairy body still exist. And this is why he is not affected by his charming skills , and the Taidao old devil Chen Jingyuan wants to eat the reason why he practiced evil kung fu."

Snapped!
Yu Daoxiang threw the willow branch casually, and the willow branch fell to the surface of the water. The goldfish and carp that repeatedly jumped out of the water returned to calm. The ashes scattered in the water and were eaten by the fish in the blink of an eye.
