Qin Hu

Chapter 110 It's Really Just a Game!

Ying Zheng knew that Zhao Zihu and Xiang Liyue were shameless, and he learned about it from Zhao Tuo's "One Day Book" that night.

However, he only found out tonight that Zhao Zihu could condense water into ice.

Because his spy Zhao Tuo is Zhao Zihu's retainer and general, not a servant who serves others.

When Zhao Zihu and Xiangliyue were together, Zhao Tuo and his followers were afraid of being impolite, so they didn't enter Zhao Zihu's tent or car at all.

But at other times, even if you entered Zhao Zihu's felt tent and car, you couldn't see the ice made of saltpeter.

Therefore, Zhao Tuo had no way of knowing that when Zhao Zihu and Xiangliyue got tired of being together, there was saltpeter ice to relieve the heat.

The reason why Zhao Tuo found out today is because he met by chance, Benboerba and Baboerben were in a secluded place, boiling saltpeter to make ice and melted water.

Well, saltpeter is used to make ice and can be reused!

A pot of saltpeter water is made into ice, and after it melts, it only needs to be boiled dry, and the saltpeter powder dissolved in the water can be boiled out again.

It's like boiling sea salt!
However, the boiled saltpeter powder can still be used to make ice if it is crushed with a wooden stick and then dissolved in water.

It is very economical and environmentally friendly!

In short, Zhao Tuo smashed two servants to boil saltpeter water, and after asking, he found out that Zhao Zihu had the celestial art of condensing water into ice.

And the two servants didn't know the principle of freezing saltpeter, they only thought that the refined saltpeter powder they boiled was the primer of heavenly materials and earthly treasures used by Zhao Zihu to perform his immortal skills.

Therefore, when they explained to Zhao Tuo, they couldn't help bragging in all kinds of ways, and what they said was amazing... The two of them accompanied Zhao Zihu since childhood, and they also had Zhao Zihu's habit of talking nonsense, which made Zhao Tuo stunned for a while.

Zhao Tuo wrote down the bragging words of the two servants in a one-day book and reported them to Ying Zheng, so he also had a question at this moment.

Ying Zheng himself was skeptical, so he took the time to ask casually to make himself appear less ignorant.

But Zhao Zihu's answer was scary.

He admitted it!

Therefore, Ying Zheng was so shocked that he couldn't hold the cup, even after Zhao Zihu thought about it, he explained that it was not a fairy art, but just a game.

But Yingzheng couldn't calm down for a long time, and he didn't dare to say: "What kind of game is it that can freeze water in summer? Could it be that your child is prevaricating with words as a father?"

Zhao Gao was also numb beside him, looking at Zhao Zihu with a face full of horror.

Could it be that this cowardly child really knows how to perform magic tricks?
Who taught it?
Why did such a great opportunity fall on this notorious baby? Is God Haotian blind?
Facing the suspicious eyes of the monarch and his ministers, Zhao Zihu couldn't help smacking his mouth speechlessly, nodded and said: "Well, it seems that I can't hide it from my father!"

"My son confessed, my son stopped pretending, my son is immortal art, I don't know if my father would like to learn it?"

Ying Zheng nodded without hesitation and said, "Learn!"

Zhao Zihu suppressed whether to laugh or cry, and while focusing on the silk cloth again, he said: "If the father wants to learn, you can first order people to prepare a lot of saltpeter powder and half a bucket of water."

Naturally, Ying Zheng didn't say anything, and immediately turned to Zhao Gao and said, "Go and get half a bucket of clean water, and then go to Hou Sheng and others for saltpeter powder. They will bring as much as they have."

"only."

Zhao Gao bowed his hand to accept the order, and left the tent excitedly.

But Zhao Zihu raised his head again, and asked curiously: "Father, are there alchemists accompanying the imperial chariot?"

From Ying Zheng's tone, [Hou Sheng and others] seem to be alchemists without a doubt, otherwise why would they carry saltpeter powder?

"Of course, there are so few people who refine medicine for me at any time."

Ying Zheng didn't shy away from being so big, and he admitted it generously.

Zhao Zihu frowned suddenly, looked for the table in front of Ying Zheng, and said, "Where is the elixir that he refined for the father?"

Ying Zheng saw that there was something wrong with his expression, he hesitated to take out an ancient jade bottle carved from warm white jade from the jade seal niche box: "Here is the elixir."

Zhao Zihu put down the cloth in his hand, took over the valuable ancient and clumsy jade bottle, removed the silk stopper and smelled it.

Then, pour out all the pills the size of a fingernail inside to watch.

Leaving aside the efficacy of the medicine, at least the appearance is quite bluffing, the golden particles are uniform, revealing a metallic luster.

If you eat this one, it will definitely exceed the standard of heavy metals!

wow-

Zhao Zihu threw away all the pills with his hands, and stuffed the valuable ancient jade bottle into his breastplate.

Then, with a face full of astonishment and distress, Xiang stared straight at Ying Zheng, who had scattered pills all over the floor, and said solemnly: "They are all harmful poisons, and my father must never take them again in the future!"

Yingzheng came back to his senses, but Danfeng stared at him, and said angrily, "You...you coward, do you know how precious these pills are?"

"They are all refined from heaven, material and earth treasures, how could they be poison?"

"You can throw tens of thousands of dollars with this throw, you prodigal son, I'm going to pick you today..."

Zhao Zihu raised his hand to interrupt him, and proudly said: "Father, did he forget in a blink of an eye that my son knows immortal skills! How can he not be able to distinguish good medicine from bad medicine?"

"This kind of elixir cannot be refined properly. It has no spiritual energy to speak of. Instead, it has a dirty air. If people take it, they will be poisoned and harm themselves!"

Ying Zheng's anger stagnated: "Uh..."

If it was assumed that Zhao Zihu knew immortal arts, then Zhao Zihu's words were justified.

It is convincing!
Do you know elixir?

Can you understand the fairy art?
Zhao Zihu, who knows immortal arts, is an authoritative person at this moment, so he can't accept it!
Moreover, in the one-day guide that Zhao Tuo sent a few days ago, it was mentioned that Zhao Zihu developed a new alchemy technique.

According to Shennong's principle of tasting all kinds of herbs, he thoroughly studied all kinds of natural materials and earthly treasures, recorded their characteristics and effects, and then carried out reasonable compatibility and refining experiments, and kept experimenting with real elixir...

It looks very reliable!
After letting Hou Sheng and others take a closer look, they were all shocked as heaven and man, and they regarded it as the standard and the most reasonable!
Counseling knows the method of refining pills so well, how can she not be able to distinguish good pills from bad ones?

If he can't tell the difference, I'm afraid no one in the world can tell the difference!

"Father, if the alchemist has any pills to offer in the future, you might as well show it to my son first."

Zhao Zihu saw that Ying Zheng was dumb and didn't say a word for a long time, so he offered to propose.

Then, without waiting for Ying Zheng to speak, he said hesitantly: "There are as many alchemy seekers in the world as carps crossing the river, but there are few legends about those who can really become immortals. Why?"

"It's all because the other generation didn't know how to do it, refining it indiscriminately, messing around, even if there are natural treasures, they are all ruined, and all the refining products are poison."

"According to my son, refining pills also requires methods, such as studying the characteristics of heaven, material and earth treasures..."

Zhao Zihu ran the train with his mouth full, and roughly described the scientific alchemy that Ying Zheng already knew.

Ying Zheng listened to it deeply, and felt that the big boy in front of him was really... ignorant and incompetent!
Yes, ignorant!
Serious knowledge is never learned in a serious way. These crooked knowledge are all self-taught without a teacher, and they can be understood better than the same.

It's just hopeless!

"If you use your thoughts of pondering these heretics to learn the art of being a monarch and governing the country, you will definitely be able to surpass your elder brother Fusu by a hundred times..."

After hearing what Zhao Zihu had said, Ying Zheng complained angrily.

Zhao Zihu's face twitched, I told you about alchemy, why is it related to studying, can you stop interrupting?

It's easy to chat to death, okay?
It's a topic terminator!

Zhao Zihu curled his lips angrily, and simply stopped talking to Ying Zheng, picked up the silk cloth again, and watched the content on it.

This is a list of appointments and dismissals for the trial implementation of the new official system in Yujia.

The candidates for various official positions have been carefully considered by Ying Zheng.

Zhao Zihu didn't even recognize the accompanying minister, so there was nothing to correct.

What's more, with Ying Zheng's ability to control the ministers and deal with political affairs, the arrangement of each candidate can never be wrong. If he talks too much, it will be superfluous!
"Tsk, Prime Minister Gan is still worthless... None of the five phases is his turn..."

After Zhao Zihu read the list, he couldn't help smacking his lips and muttering.

Ying Zheng probably heard his complaints clearly, so he smiled and said: "Gan Luo is still a great talent. Although his temperament is not honest, compared to Li Si, he is undoubtedly pure."

This comment is also accurate. Although Gan Luo always suffers in front of Zhao Zihu, he is a smart person who can earn more than a dozen cities for Daqin by relying on his words and wisdom.

What's more, he did such a big thing at a young age. In one fell swoop, the Gan clan, which had been neglected because of his grandfather Gan Mao's rebellion, returned to the center of power in Daqin.

For this kind of people, it is obviously inappropriate to say that he is loyal, and there is no such thing as a loyal guy who possesses vertical and horizontal skills.

But compared to Li Si, Gan Luo is undoubtedly pure and good, at least he will not have the same knowledge as Zhao Zihu, even if Zhao Zihu calls him Prime Minister Gan every time, he is actually bringing trouble on him.

If it was Li Si who was provoked by Zhao Zihu like this, he would have found a chance to push Zhao Zihu into the cesspit and drowned...

"If you don't promote him as a father, you actually want to leave him to you, or your elder brother Fusu."

"In the future, you two brothers, no matter who is the second emperor, you can promote him to be a chancellor, and let him get the glory of Gan Mao when he was prime minister. He will appreciate the kindness of knowing you and serve you wholeheartedly!"

Ying Zheng slowly poured out what was on his mind and explained.

Zhao Zihu nodded suddenly, this is a painstaking effort of being a father, to leave useful talents to his children and grandchildren.

Again, compared to Li Si, Gan Luo is better at handling!
As for Li Si, apart from Yingzheng, the First Emperor, whether it was Fusu or Zhao Zihu, it might be a bit difficult to control.

At that time, if Li Si has already burped, he will burp. If he has not burped, he can be marginalized and let Gan Luo take the stage!

Zhao Zihu rolled up the list of appointment and dismissal of the new official system and returned it to Ying Zheng, and then unfolded another roll of silk cloth to watch.

That is the official business system.

Zhao Zihu really doesn't understand the official business system that Ying Zheng created according to his own ideas.

Of course, his incomprehension was not because he didn't understand what he meant, but because he felt like a dog biting a hedgehog and had nowhere to bite.

It's not something he's familiar with at all!

In the 5000-year history of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, there is no lesson for him to learn from!
I don't know how to evaluate the criticism!
Ying Zheng seemed timid about changing the farming and warfare system, because he knew that once it was changed, it would definitely shake the foundation of the Great Qin State.

And as long as the foundation of farming and warfare of the Great Qin State is not shaken, he will have the courage to do things with the courage to be the first in the world.

Just like books and wagons on the same track, unified weights and measures, and the currency system.

He dared to cross the river by feeling the stones, and he was not afraid of making mistakes.

According to what he said a few days ago, if the future emperors feel that it is not easy to use, they will abolish it!

"Well, let's do it like this. Anyway, the emperor doesn't want to use the farming and warfare system, so he can only try this method. If it doesn't work, just abolish it."

Zhao Zihu didn't want to point fingers at things he didn't understand. After reading it, he re-rolled the silk cloth and handed it back to Ying Zheng, saying, "Maybe you can ask the officials to refer to it, just like the new official system. Listen to it as you like." Based on the opinions of the ministers, it will not be too late for the emperor to make a decision!"

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "It should be so."

As he spoke, he put away the two rolls of silk cloth, looked at Zhao Gao who had come back at some time, and said, "Give the clear water and saltpeter powder to Zihu."

"only."

Zhao Gaoyi responded, lifted the bucket at his feet with one hand, and held a wooden box with the other, and put it beside Zhao Zihu.

Then, the monarch and his ministers stared wide-eyed, and looked at Zhao Zihu without blinking, to see how he performed the fairy art.

Including the other servants and imperial guards in the tent, they are all in a state of concentration, just waiting for Zhao Zihu to perform the magic.

But to everyone's disappointment, Zhao Zihu didn't do any weird and treacherous actions, he just opened the wooden box roughly and poured all the saltpeter powder inside into half a bucket of clean water.

Then there is stirring with a scabbard!
Stir constantly!
"This... is this your fairy art?"

Ying Zheng looked at it with black lines all over his head, and couldn't help but questioned.

Zhao Zihu bared his teeth and said with a smile: "My son said it was just a game, but my father refused to believe it, so I can only say it's a fairy art..."

"Actually... it's just a game!"

"A few days ago, my son asked for some saltpeter powder from the alchemist who was a guest under the tent. He wanted to figure out the characteristics so that he could use it in science in the future...well, scientific alchemy."

"But I never thought about it. I accidentally discovered that when saltpeter powder dissolves in water, it can make the water cold or even freeze, which is excellent for relieving heat."

"So, these days, my son has been using saltpeter to make ice to cool off the heat. It's not some magic trick..."

"Father, look, the cold air has already appeared!"

As Zhao Zihu said, he finally stopped stirring and asked Ying Zheng to watch it closely.

Yingzheng squinted his phoenix eyes, looked into the bucket, and saw that there seemed to be a real cold rising, he couldn't help being surprised: "Is it possible to touch this water with your hands?"

Zhao Zihu nodded: "Saltpeter water is poisonous, but as long as you don't drink it and don't soak it for a long time, you'll be fine."

Without saying a word, Ying Zheng put his hand into the saltpeter water in the bucket.

Then, he sucked in a breath of cold air, shuddered, closed Danfeng's eyes comfortably, and praised: "It's really cool!"

He was also terribly hot, so he couldn't sleep when he should have slept, so he called Zhao Zihu to explain the matter.

Snapped--

Ying Zheng soaked his hands in the cold saltpeter water for a while, and after he took out his hands to dry them off, he gave Zhao Zihu a slap on the back of the head and cursed: "There are ways to relieve the heat, but you only care about your own enjoyment, you are not filial~!"

Zhao Zihu: "..."

　The title of the book has been changed, um, it has been changed...my poor tiger...
