Chapter 42: Rise with the wind, make ice with saltpeter(1/2)
After Chen Ke drew a piece of wood, the craftsman observed it carefully.
Dong Guoqu looked confused: "Shaofu, what are you going to do?"
"The villain really can't understand."
Chen Ke stood up, glanced at him, and yawned: "What do you care about him?"
"Just do what I said."
After saying that, Chen Ke walked out.
It's summer now, and the scorching temperature really makes people feel a little unhappy.
But in Daqin, there is no air conditioner or fan, only artificial fan.
And in most cases, there isn't.
You can't expect this maid to follow you at any time. When you walk to the street and fan your clothes, right?
What's more, this is not the most painful thing.
The most painful thing is that the weather is hot, but the clothes of ancient people are even more unpleasant.
Very thick.
Chen Ke often worried that he would get prickly heat from being covered.
He scratched his head.
Since things have come to this point, he has to tell Brother Zheng that things like scattering stones and making ice appear quickly. [Note 1]
Although it is not very common to eliminate rock, compared with the hot summer ice cubes, the consumption of rock removal is still acceptable.
Thinking of this, Chen Ke walked straight towards the palace.

Shangdang County
Zeng showed a little regret on his face. From the moment he heard the news of Shi Xuanni being assassinated, he already knew the whole story of this matter.
Is it really the so-called people from the Six Kingdoms going to assassinate?
Not necessarily?
Although the traitors from the six countries may have sent people, the people who assassinated Shi Xuanni were assassinating the people who were assassinating Shi Xuanni were distributing land in public.
It will definitely not be a traitor from the six countries.
It could only be the person arranged by Shi Xuanni himself.
Zeng Lu shook her head and talked with a generous voice: "It seems that I'm too soft-hearted."
He stood up suddenly, with a stern expression and a little righteousness.
"Come."
"The crime of assassination of the governor of Sanchuan County by the six countries is unforgivable!"
"Your Majesty has issued an imperial edict, ordering all the Qin territories to search for the six kingdoms!"
"Send the order and let someone post a notice at the city gate to inform all the people of Shangdang County."
"Anyone who takes in traitors from the six countries will be punished!"
"Anyone who reports and takes in traitors from the six countries will be rewarded!"
At the same time, it is not just Shangdang County.
Meng Qiu from Hedong County also gave orders with a look of surprise. The words he ordered were no different from Zeng Lu.
However, Meng Qiu was not surprised by Shi Xuanni's ruthlessness, but was surprised by his decisiveness.
The person he arranged to assassinate him in two days.
But at this time, it was obvious that the initial wind was no longer needed.
There are already excuses, they just need to climb along the ladder.
And this is not a good thing for Meng Qiu.
Because he wanted to achieve results, Chen Ke, the young mansion in Xianyang City, knew that he was also a capable person.
But at this time, things went against my wishes.
After Meng Qiu ordered the people below, he sighed quietly, and his eyes were filled with helplessness.
"I didn't expect that Shi Xuanni would take the lead."
"But next time, it's not necessarily the case."
He smiled slightly and ordered the person he had arranged before.
"This person always has to laugh to the end to be the happiest person."
"What's the skill of laughing halfway?"

Zhangtai Palace
Ying Zheng sat in the hall, which was a little cooler than outside, but it also made Ying Zheng feel a little depressed.
He is much bitterer than ordinary people, and it is precisely because of this that he will go to the southern tour most summers.
The reason is that the weather in the south is slightly better than that in the north.
Living by the sea and by the lake is also a little cooler than living in the inland.
Seeing this, Han Tan immediately waved to him again and asked someone to bring some ice cubes again.
People during this period have learned to store ice cubes in ice cellars.
Ying Zheng just asked calmly: "How many ice will be left this year?"
Han Tan lowered his head, his voice with respect.
"Your Majesty, there is still a lot of ice in the ice cellar, but..."
He whispered: "This summer seems to be a little hotter than in previous years. Although it is enough for His Majesty to use it, the nobles in the palace..."
The meaning is very simple.
This summer is hotter than in previous years, so all the ice cubes must be guaranteed to be welcomed by the emperor first.
Then the others in the palace can only use less.
Ying Zheng held his forehead and pressed his forehead: "Fusu, the ice cubes on Hu Hai are still the same, so there is no need to be less."
"You just want to arrange the rest of the people."
Ying Zheng did not pay attention to women, and most of the concubines in the harem were sent to his harem when the Six Kingdoms were defeated.
He doesn't care much either.
"Here."
A moment later, the eunuch outside the door whispered: "Your Majesty, Chen Ke, the young mansion, asked for a meeting."
Chen Ke?
Ying Zheng raised his head in a depressed manner, and was tortured by summer so much that he had no strength.
He even wanted to continue his southern tour.
But now, they are forcing people from the six countries to jump over the wall and are not suitable to go out, otherwise it would be a bit dangerous.
Although he is not afraid, why do he have to cause trouble for himself out of thin air?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng was stunned.
No.
Shouldn’t this be Chen Ke’s idea?
He laughed in silence. Could it be that he was inadvertently infected by Chen Ke?
This is really a dark person who is close to the ink.
"Okay, let him in."
As Ying Zheng finished speaking, a light response sounded outside the door.
After a moment, Chen Ke walked in.
As soon as Chen Ke walked into the hall, he felt a cool air coming to his face. It was cooler and more comfortable in an instant.
He smiled and said, "Your Majesty is still comfortable here, there are so many ice cubes."
“It’s much better than the Manufacturing Department.”
Ying Zheng glanced at him and just casually ordered Han Tan, "Han Tan, go and send some ice to this kid's mansion later."
"Stop this kid from spreading it out, saying that I abused him, and even I couldn't bear to give him an ice."
To be continued...
