Go back to the Admiral's youth through the book

Chapter 200 (200) What's wrong with the little lady?
Flower Hall.

Xia Ou saw the admiral looking at her coldly, her body was stiff, and even her breathing subconsciously slowed down.

However, she still leaned over cheekily and moved her little finger again.

Waiting quietly, the admiral poured tea and water for her.

However, the admiral is as immovable as a mountain...

This is, angry?

Why do you still have small emotions?

"Husband, what's the matter with you~" Her voice was milky, and she stared at him with burning eyes, almost rolling on the ground and acting like a baby.

Hearing this, Ji Cheng paused for a while in peeling the lychee shells, and looked up at her.

What's wrong with the little lady?
However, it was the calculations of those people who thought they were clever.

That's it!

Ji Cheng cleaned his hands and poured her a glass of sour plum soup with ice.

"Thank you husband, husband is the best!" Xia Ou drank anxiously, her cheeks puffed up, like a little hamster, a bit cute with a gluttonous appetite.

Outside the door, Qu You gently knocked on the door and said, "My lord, everything has been transported to the backyard."

Ji Cheng got up, stretched out his robes, and said, "I'll go over there, my lady, let's rest in a cool place!"

"Xiao Ou also wants to go with her husband."

Xia Ou ran up to Lord Admiral, stretched out her little white hand, tugged at his sleeve, and shook it...

The weather in midsummer is as hot as a steamer.

As soon as the summer lotus root came out of the room with ice mirrors, the heat wave outside hit her face.

After walking a few steps, the soles of the embroidered shoes began to burn my feet.

God, with this temperature, eggs should be fried on the ground, right?

Ji Cheng took her to the backyard.

The original spacious courtyard was already full of bulging big bags, hundreds of them.

Qu Chou counted the number, ordered the carrying boys to step down, and began to report to Jicheng.

Xia Ou is too lazy to listen...

In fact, even after she heard it, she couldn't understand it.

With her little hands behind her back, she walked slowly in four directions, curiously untied a sack, and looked inside.

The inside of the sack is full of ores, which are colorless, white or gray crystals with glassy luster.

She twitched her nose, then frowned and looked at it seriously.

Is this saltpeter?

Once, she saw it in chemistry class before transmigrating, and even did an ice-making experiment by herself!

Saltpeter is also known as flame saltpeter, potassium saltpeter, etc., and its main component is potassium nitrate.

Potassium nitrate is easily soluble in water, and when dissolved, it will absorb a large amount of heat, which can reduce the temperature of the surrounding environment.

It is a natural mineral that is mainly used in gunpowder production in modern times.

But in this era, in addition to those used for firecrackers, ice can also be made!

The process is also very simple. Put water in a container, then place it in a large tank filled with water, and continuously add saltpeter to the large tank, and the water in the container will freeze.

She stretched her neck and inspected visually. There were at least a thousand tons of saltpeter in the backyard of her house.

Admiral, are you going to make gunpowder or ice?

Could it be that gunpowder is going to be used to raze all those bandit dens to the ground, but the scientific level is probably not good enough?
Soon, Ji Cheng ordered Qu Chou to go forward and said, "Miss, do you recognize this thing?"

"I don't know..." Xia Ou shook her head again and again, guilt flashed in her eyes.

Ji Cheng stretched out his hand, poked her little cheek, and said, "Lie, just look at your eyes for my husband, and I know that the lady not only knows each other, but also knows many ways."

"Then my husband...won't you ask where Xiao Ou learned it from?" Xia Ou asked treacherously.

If she is frank and lenient, will she be put in prison?

Let's think it over again, let's discuss it later!
However, in Ji Cheng's eyes, there was no exploration at all, and he said calmly, "My lady is very talented!"

The little lady was a ghost fairy in her previous life, so it is not surprising that she knows some strange things.

Since she didn't dare to say it, it must be because she was worried about breaking the rules of heaven, so why did he bother to ask the bottom line?

Compared with those desires for knowledge, as long as he is by his side, it is enough...

"Husband, what are you going to do with these saltpeter?" Xia Ou picked up a piece of saltpeter and shook it in his palm.

Ji Cheng turned around, turned his back to her, and said in a low voice, "The heat is unbearable, and it's a good time to benefit the people."

Huimin's subtext is almost equal to making money.

But the admiral is sitting on a million dollars of wealth, and his status in this place is a very noble existence. There are almost no expenses, let alone big expenses, so what else do you need to make money?
By the way, bandits!
Xia Ou's eyes rolled round and round, trying hard to run her cerebellum.

Suddenly, she felt blessed and said, "Husband wants to raise soldiers? But isn't the Guangxi wolf soldiers paid by the imperial court?"

"Guangxi wolf soldiers are local soldiers formed by Guangxi chieftains. They fight fiercely, but they don't obey orders. Every time after the victory of suppressing bandits, if there is no bandit to suppress for a period of time, these wolf soldiers will kill civilians .”

While speaking, Ji Chen raised his eyes and looked at the saltpeter with a cold expression and murderous eyes.

Xia Ou didn't pay attention to his changes, and was busy picking up a few pieces of saltpeter and putting them in her room to cool off the heat.

"Why?" She stopped what she was doing and asked, "Shouldn't soldiers protect the people?"

"Because they need to report their military merits, and only after they have military merits can they get rewards. Then, the common people were forced to appear bandits again." Ji Cheng's voice was unwavering, and he simply narrated.

Xia Ou blinked her watery apricot eyes, and asked, "Is that why your husband decided not to use wolf soldiers?"

"What's the use of soldiers that can't be used?" Ji Chen directly took out a sack of saltpeter and brought it to the storeroom for the little lady to play with.

Xia Ou hurriedly chased after him, worried, "My husband wants to recruit troops, will it cause the suspicion of the superiors?"

"No, my husband has already arranged for prefect Lu to select talents from the armies of the four provinces and train them."

Ji Cheng felt the care of the little lady, and his heart was very warm.

There are people in this world who think about him and think about him.

very nice……

Xia Ou gave a thumbs up, full of admiration.

"My husband is really thoughtful. The army formed in this way is still the same soldiers as before. The overall number remains the same, and they still have some experience. It is not difficult to train, and it is relatively time-consuming."

"Yes, since my husband's bandit suppression brigade wants to select the best from the best, it will naturally give a high reward."

With that said, the two arrived at the door of the warehouse, and Ji Cheng put down the sack.

Xia Ou quickly took out the key in the small purse, and quickly opened the three big locks on the door one by one.

Her small mouth still babbled, "That's right, I can't make my subordinates feel cold!"

Ji Cheng looked at the tight and solid door of his house, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

It is estimated that his little lady will never have sex with her in her life.

After all, she is a little money fanatic, and she definitely can't let go of these belongings...

Soon it will be time for dinner.

In the kitchen, the chefs in charge of the major restaurants were summoned nearby.

They all took out their housekeeping skills to please Mr. Futai.

A table of seats can be described as a gathering of talents, full of beautiful things...

　The process of making money in the article is simply passed by~
　　I can't help but get a little tired of reading other authors' articles about making a fortune by doing business, so we won't write about business in detail.
