I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 300 The Unfrozen River

Just as he was about to scold them a few more words, he saw the graceful figure of the third lady approaching not far away.

Li Tianqiang suppressed the anger in his heart, and shouted in a low voice,
"We'll talk about this later, you'd better take advantage of this time to come up with a good excuse, otherwise, your ass will inevitably bloom."

Jiang Bao and Wang Fu all looked innocent and wronged.

They are indeed the two most powerful managers in the palace, but they really can't control the affairs of Huangzhuang.

They feel wronged by Li Tian's endless reprimand, which is reasonable.

But although it has nothing to do with them at this time, the tribute they receive every year is not less than a cent.

The money is taken, and it doesn't matter if it's really okay, but it's not accurate.

The carriage of the third lady and others was not too far from Li Tian and the others, and within a few steps, the third lady came to them.

It was already late autumn at this time, and the cold wind was blowing, and it was quite cold.

The third lady still wore the animal skin shawl she wore last time, a decent lavender dress underneath, and a pair of pink boots on her feet.

It is said that modern women need charm but not warmth, but Li Tian wants to say that the same is true for ancient women.

The third lady came to Li Tian with great enthusiasm and bowed gracefully.

The moment she bowed her body and bowed her head, Li Tian smelled a scent of soap from her body.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said frivolously,
"The third lady has good taste. The faint fragrance on your body may be the soap from the capital that has been popular recently!"

Even though the third wife is a career-oriented strong woman, she can't help but feel a little ashamed when people talk about her smell in person.

After coughing lightly twice, he calmed down his emotions, and said with a faint smile,
"Mr. Li is well-informed and knowledgeable. I am ashamed. Your guess is right. It is indeed thanks to the soap!"

Li Tian seemed to feel it, and it seemed inappropriate to say this to a woman face to face.

So I deliberately changed the subject, pointing to a large flat land not far away and the endless river opposite, and said,

"Third Madam has good eyesight, and she managed to find such a good place!"

The third lady did not change her pretty face, and said with a faint smile,
"It's also thanks to Mr. Li's great help, otherwise, it would be impossible for the slave family to buy this land from the royal family."

"It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about. I just don't know when the third lady plans to start construction. You have to know that in a month or two, the river will be frozen."

The third lady shook her head and said doubtfully,

"Don't Mr. Li know that this river will not freeze throughout the winter.

It is the stream of the canal, if not for this, the slave family would not have chosen this place after all the painstaking efforts. "

Hearing that there are still rivers in the capital that will not freeze, Li Tian was a little at a loss.

Beijing is located in the north. At this time, Ming Dynasty is in the Little Ice Age. Could it be that there are still rivers that will not freeze?

In fact, this is a misunderstanding of Li Tian's knowledge.

In later generations, rivers in the north would indeed freeze over a large area during the dry season in winter.

But in Daming at this time, the natural ecology has not been destroyed, the mountains and forests are dense, and the amount of water that can be stored on the surface is more than three or four times that of later generations.

Plus most of the rivers at this time did not have those dams of later generations to block the flow of water.

Therefore, even in the dry winter, the water flow is still very turbulent.

We all know that the water flow is also turbulent, the more difficult it is to freeze.

Although the river in front of me is not a big river, it is one of the main tributaries of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the water volume is very abundant.

In winter, unless the water flow slows down due to extremely dry years, basically it will not freeze.

In addition, although the capital is located in the north, it is not far from the Bohai Sea. Due to the influence of the ocean monsoon, the temperature is actually a little higher than that of Datong, Shanxi at the same latitude.

Another point is that although the number of people in ancient times is incomparable with that of later generations, the city of Beijing in this era has already begun to use coal in large masks.

Therefore, the temperature around the capital is actually higher than that in sparsely populated places.

Based on various reasons, it is understandable that some rivers will not freeze in winter.

It was a great surprise to Li Tian to hear that the river would not freeze, which means that even in winter, the workshop can still operate as usual.

In this way, the production of steel will not be affected until next spring, and his plan may be several months ahead at once, how can this not surprise him.

He couldn't help giving the third lady twelve likes in his heart.

"The third lady's eyesight is indeed powerful, Li is convinced."

The third lady smiled lightly,
"The slave's family only has this ability. It is comparable to Mr. Li's supernatural powers. He can even buy the land of the Royal Farm."

Listening to her words, Li Tian couldn't help but twitched in his heart. This third lady is so powerful, and she can't leave the temptation in three words. She only said a few words, and she actually tested herself so many times.

Although he intended to completely disclose his identity, but he thought about it, it seemed interesting to play with her with a trumpet, so he resisted the urge to declare himself a family.

"Li is just acquainted with a few more people, it's nothing special."

"Third Madam, although you are a woman, you can afford such a big family business in the Chai family. It is really a woman who does not give up to a man. It makes me and other men can't help but admire."

The two boasted about each other's business, but there was no real content.

But this is actually the so-called negotiation. First, paralyze the other party, and then take advantage of the other party's confusion to sign terms that are beneficial to you.

The third lady spared no effort to inquire about his true identity, in fact, she was considering this issue.

If Li Tian is really a member of the royal family, even if she spends all her wealth, as long as she can hit this line, it will be worth the money.

But if Li Tianruo is someone who is conspiring behind the scenes, she has to deal with it carefully.

Anything that can involve large-scale steel is not a trivial matter. Once something goes wrong, it may cause minor harm to the whole family, so she has to be so cautious.

"Hey, Mr. Li's praise of the slave family is really unbearable, the capital is full of royal relatives and nobles, it is not so easy to do a good job.

The slave family is just looking at the scenery on the surface, but actually eats a lot behind the scenes. "

Seeing that she seemed to have something in her words, Li Tian followed her words and asked,
"Oh? There is such a thing, there are still people in this capital who don't give you face to the third lady?
Although Li is not talented, he still knows a few people. If the third wife has any difficulties.

For the sake of the joint operation of our two companies, as long as it is within his ability, Li will never refuse. "
