- "Okay, just remember these things. It's getting late today. General, go to bed early. I'm afraid we still have a lot to do early tomorrow morning."
"Then, Your Majesty, please rest early. It's really getting late."
The watch drum outside had already been beaten three times. It was indeed getting late, so Li Guang stood up and said goodbye.
Li Guang left, but Liu Deng could not sleep all night, lying on the bed tossing and turning.
The conditions in the military camp are of course incomparable to those in the city. Even he, the king, can only sleep on a flat bed at this time.
Coupled with the sweltering weather now, the inside of the tent was like a steamer, which really made it difficult for Liu Deng to sleep.
"Your Majesty, how about I go to the city to find you some ice cubes to cool off the heat?"
Listening to Liu Deng cooking pancakes on the bed, Shunzi hurriedly whispered outside.
"If you want ice, why go to the city to find it? Go to the back camp and find some saltpeter for me, and bring me some larger copper basins."
Liu Deng thought for a while and then said.
"No!"
Shunzi was a little confused, but still followed Liu Deng's order and went to the back camp to find what Liu Deng wanted.
Saltpeter is a commonly used material in the military.
Now that we are in a large army, getting some saltpeter is not something we can easily do.
It only took less than a moment to pour incense, and Shunzi asked someone to carry a large bag of saltpeter, and then brought several copper basins of different sizes over.
"Your Majesty, do you think these things are suitable for use?"
He looked at Liu Deng with a smile on his face.
"You guys come here with your things, I will teach you how to make ice in summer today!"
The guards around him are all loyal, although they usually don't have much flattery.
But Liu Deng knew in his heart that when the critical moment came, they were the ones who would die for him.
Therefore, Liu Deng never hesitated to reward them generously.
This method of making ice is actually very simple.
"It's just using the reaction between saltpeter and water. Basically, you can learn it after watching it once, so Liu Deng didn't hide their intentions.
"Is this what your Majesty uses?"
Shunzi looked at Liu Deng in disbelief.
¡°It¡¯s enough to bring a few more buckets of water!¡±
Liu Deng pinched his nose and opened the bag that Shunzi carried over. The smell of saltpeter was really a bit pungent.
Especially in this stuffy tent, this thing can make people faint.
"However, in order to give them some benefits, Liu Deng is not ready to make this method public at the moment, so he can only endure it for now.
After hearing what Liu Deng said, the guards immediately brought several large buckets of water.
Liu Deng immediately directed them to pour all the water into the largest copper basin, then poured the saltpeter in and started stirring continuously.
After the saltpeter met water, a violent reaction began.
After everything was stable, Liu Deng directed them to put a smaller copper basin into the large copper basin, and then poured clean water into it.
By the light of the giant butter candle in the room, the water in the small copper basin began to freeze visibly to the naked eye.
"The big, big, king is really frozen!"
Shunzi¡¯s eyes suddenly widened, and everything that happened in front of her was like a myth!
"Is it magical?"
Liu Deng looked at Shunzi with a smile.
"This, this, this, this"
Shunzi pointed at the ice cubes that were condensing in the copper basin with an incredible expression on her face. When she spoke, she could no longer utter a complete sentence.
"There are many other methods like this, and students who come out of the academy in the future will learn some of them!"
Liu Deng smiled and patted Shunzi on the shoulder.
"The king has such a good idea, why do you want to leave it to them?"
Shunzi didn¡¯t quite understand.
Saltpeter is actually not expensive, but ice is really expensive in summer.
¡°And it is definitely something with a price but no market. Except for the ice cellars dug by wealthy people, there is nowhere for anyone else to buy it.
"If Shunzi had such a good idea, he would have already made a fortune by relying on it. How could he tell others about it?"
¡°If you want to make money, there are manyAnyway, why care about these little gadgets? It¡¯s too late for you to study now. If you have children in the future, let them study properly! After all, always picking up a knife to kill people is not a long-term thing! "
Liu Deng patted Shunzi on the shoulder as he spoke, then reached out from the copper basin, twisted up a small piece of freshly condensed ice and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
Feeling the long-lost coolness, the suffocating anger in my heart finally got better.
The smell in the tent was really too strong, so Liu Deng decided to go outside for a walk.
The guards around him are all loyal to him. He can't watch these old brothers die in the end.
As for the war, according to the current development of the situation, in at most ten years, the Han army will be able to overwhelm Yu Nei.
When further development of gunpowder weapons is completed, the shape of warfare will change again.
By that time, rough guys like them who only know how to stab people with knives may not even be able to serve as soldiers.
"But if you often walk by the river, your shoes won't get wet."
At this time, it is actually a good choice to teach them some ways to make a living and let them make some plans for their own future.
Seeing Liu Deng come out, Shunzi hurriedly followed him. Although he was very curious, Liu Deng's safety was obviously more important than anything else.
"Why aren't you watching from inside?"
Liu Deng put his hands behind his back and blew in the night wind, and asked casually.
"Before we set off, the Empress Dowager personally warned us that the king's safety must not be neglected!"
Shunzi said seriously.
"There are so many dangers everywhere, okay, I'm just here to enjoy the breeze, you don't have to follow me all the time!"
"I will stay away and won't disturb the king's peace!"
After Shunzi finished speaking, he took a few steps back, but still remained in Liu Deng's line of sight.
Looking at his persistent look, Liu Deng didn¡¯t insist anymore.
When I looked up at the sky, the stars in the sky were shining brightly.
The night breeze was blowing and the stars were shining, but he could only think about murders and arson, which made Liu Deng laugh at himself.
People¡¯s circumstances are really strange. Who would have thought that a social creature like me would have times to worry about the country
Walking under the stars, Liu Deng suddenly felt like his whole body was being washed.
After watching the stars, Liu Deng felt much better. There were several large ice basins placed in the tent.
Even the temperature in the tent suddenly dropped a lot, and Liu Deng was finally able to sleep peacefully. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
