Reborn to marry the emperor's uncle, being pinched and coaxed every day

Chapter 57 Saltpeter Ice Making
Hua Yang listened and nodded, "In business talk, as long as it's not cheating, you can use some small tricks, but you still have to do your duty in the future."

She didn't want to sell ice to make a lot of money.

I just want to accumulate capital, and the real big money is in winter.

So it's nothing to give those ice store owners [-]% more profit.

She still makes a lot of money.

This year in the previous life was a once-in-a-hundred-year heat, and the heat was unbearable.

If it was in the previous dynasty, how many poor people would die in the sun, die of heat, and become vegetables.

Fortunately, the new dynasty was established. Emperor Hong Xuan lamented that the people had experienced more than ten years of war, so they lightened the corvee and let the people recuperate.

The common people can eat enough to eat, so naturally very few people will die from the heat.

It was really hot, so I soaked in the river and took two more baths in the well water, which was fine.

It's just that the rich can't stand it anymore. They can't be shirtless like ordinary people, and they can't soak in the river all day and all night.

They still have to have a lot of inner clothes and outer clothes, so they can't be unrestrained.

Ice is indispensable for this. In the past, one piece of ice was used for one day in summer, and one piece of ice was used for two days.

This year, I bought three or four pieces of ice a day.

Otherwise, this day will not be able to pass.

Therefore, the owners of the icehouses in Beijing and Beizhili in the previous life had rare goods to live in, and they all tightened their sales volume, only willing to sell a little every day, which caused the price of ice cubes to double.

She thought that when the time comes, the icehouse in her hand will be at the original price if the common people come to buy it, and the price will be high if the officials come to buy it, whether they like it or not.

These rich and wealthy households have always been exploiting the common people, and their money is not earned in vain.

And those ice store owners, who saw the people dying of heat in their previous lives, were unwilling to sell ice to the people at a low price, and they had no mercy.

It doesn't matter if they don't let them earn this windfall.

Is there any other way than ice in the freezer?

She thought of the method of making ice with saltpeter.

That was a method accidentally discovered by one of Sima Jiao's staff when he was in power in his previous life.

It's simple, but it can't be produced in large quantities, and it's okay to do less for emergencies.

And soon.

"Pan Wei, in addition to buying ice storage, you can also buy saltpeter for me. The more the better, the better. If you have any free storage, you can also buy it for me."

Although Pan Wei didn't know what his young lady wanted to do with the saltpeter and warehouse, he still agreed.

At night, a man in black flew into Wei Wang's mansion, and then flew out in an instant.

Two men in black clothes followed closely behind, and the man in black clothes in front ran straight for less than half of the capital, only to be able to escape by circling left and right.

The two men in black who chased them out glanced at each other, and one of them whispered, "An Jiu, I'll keep an eye on it, you go back and tell the master."

The other nodded and flew away.

The man in black who shook off his tail stepped into the Star Picking Tower.

The shopkeeper's sleepy eyes asked in confusion: "Xin Rong, why are you here at this time, aren't you going to the Wei Palace?"

Xin Rong took off the black scarf on his face, and said out of breath, "Damn it, don't mention it, there are people watching Wei Wang's mansion, I was almost arrested, but luckily I am good at qinggong, I ran half of the capital to catch them Dumped."

"Do you know who is following?" A young man in fluttering white clothes came down from the attic.

Ru Guanyu still had a friendly smile on her face.

Seeing the young man in white, Xin Rong immediately stood up and bowed his hands:
"Master, I don't know this subordinate, but they are just two top masters. I'm afraid that apart from lightness kung fu, my family's kung fu is not as good as them."

The young man in white nodded, "There are still such skilled people in the capital, pay attention in the future, and find out who is behind them."

"Yes" is the shopkeeper's answer.

"Master, what should I do now, my subordinates can't enter Wei Palace." Xin Rong was anxious.

"Since you can't get in in the dark, come in openly. Tomorrow, you can visit Wei Wang's mansion normally, and say that you are a member of the Xin family." The young man in white went straight to the attic after speaking.

"By the way, master, in the past two days a new Datong Trading Company has popped up in the capital, and they are buying ice storage everywhere." Xin Rong replied.

"Oh, do you know which business it is?" Bai Yi was not interested, and asked casually, without stopping.

"The subordinate followed that young man for two days. He was also very cautious, but he couldn't get rid of his subordinate if he didn't have the time. The subordinate saw him enter the Grand Master's Mansion."

After Xin Rong finished speaking, he saw the young man in white stop.

"You don't need to follow up on this matter. I will personally intervene." After changing his indifferent attitude just now, the young man in white turned around and confessed.

Grand Master's Mansion?
A stunning little beauty appeared in his mind, although it has not yet bloomed, but it is conceivable how stunning and beautiful it will be in two or three years.

What's even more rare is that he has a good temper, which is very interesting.

Will it be her?

He was a little looking forward to it.

Qin Palace

Sima Jiao got the report from the dark guard and thought for a long time. In his previous life, he didn't have much contact with this big brother, and he didn't have much impression.

He felt that he had always been healthy and he was in his prime, how could he suddenly get sick and die within two days.

Will it still be like this in this life?So who is visiting Wei Wangfu tonight?
In his previous life, he was sent to the border at the age of eight, and Sima Cheng ascended the throne smoothly, and nothing special happened.

Could it be that something changed after I was reborn, the queen mother did not die of dystocia, and the emperor father did not die.

And Sima Cheng almost lost the possibility of inheriting the throne.

So the people and forces in the dark can't sit still, are they going to change their strategy?

So can I really succeed to the throne smoothly?

"Keep an eye on me, that person will definitely go again."

"Yes" Dark Eleven flew out in response.

On the second day, Xin Rong disguised himself as a white-haired old man and went to Wei Wangfu.

Dark Nine and Dark Eleven who were watching secretly did not recognize it.

Xin Rong thought proudly, the master's disguise technique is really amazing.

After reporting his surname, it was true that King Wei asked the concierge to lead him to the study.

"Who are you?" Wei Wang sat still, looking sharply at the old man in front of him.

"My lord, I'm disguised, but I'm in my forties. This letter was written by your mother. You'll understand after reading it."

Xin Rong took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Sima Cheng.

Sima Cheng took the letter suspiciously, opened it and read it.

Then his expression seemed to freeze, and he didn't move for a while.

His mother, who came from a humble background, actually had such power behind her.

Because he grew up under his grandmother's knees, he has no feelings for this biological mother, he just knows that there is such a person, and he is not liked by his father.

He even hated having such a biological mother. If he had a higher status and a better background, he would not have had the possibility of competing with Sima Jiao for the throne.

And now it's possible.

"Who is she? Who are you?"

The letter only said that a mysterious organization could help him fight for the throne, but did not say what kind of organization it was.
