Hiding ice in the winter and enjoying the coolness in the summer, these things can only be consumed by the rich and powerful.
If the rich and powerful themselves don’t have enough, how can ordinary people take their turn?
Li Jingzang smiled and said: "You have said so much, so I would like to ask, is there anything that can keep everyone cool and can be affordable for ordinary people? If anyone can tell me, I, Li Jingzang, don't have anything else, money.
There is a lot of gold here. If anyone can tell, I will give it to you with both hands."
The onlookers' eyes widened when they saw the thousand taels of gold laid out on the table by this businessman who didn't know what he was going to do. They had already forgotten what he had just said to insult everyone.
It seems that this guy is not only brainless, but also a fool.
Shangguan Yi and Pei Xianzhu were purchasing necessary items for the Chinese Music Ceremony. Suddenly they heard that there were a lot of people gathering here, and it was very noisy. Some good people recognized Shangguan Yi, a madman, and greeted him: "This is not a drunken poet.
Is that so? There is a good story ahead, why don’t you go read it if you spend thousands of dollars to buy horse bones?”
"Let's go together, let's go together." Shangguan Yi responded casually and became curious about the matter. He turned to look at Pei Xianzhu and saw that the other party was also interested, so he said: "Then let's go take a look first?"
"Can."
The two of them naturally followed the crowd, and with Pei Xianzhu's appearance, they attracted the attention of the people of Chang'an wherever they went. Soon someone spotted the two of them and shouted to remind everyone.
"Look, Pei Xianzhu, the head of the Guo Yue Mansion, and Shangguan Yi, the drunken poet, are here. Everyone, squeeze in and make room for them."
The crowd consciously made a way for them, which allowed the two of them to reach the front of the stall smoothly.
Li Jingzang's eyes lit up. Pei Xianzhu was here. Isn't this self-propaganda? Overjoyed, he stood up from the stall in style and saluted Pei Xianzhu and Shangguan Yi.
"It turns out it's Miss Pei and Mr. Shangguan. It's really a great honor for Li to have the two of them come to my stall. How come you are also interested in the thousand taels of gold?"
Shangguan Yi looked at Huang Jin with disgust and displeasure: "Who am I Shangguan Yi? How can I be bribed by your mere thousand taels of gold? I just came here to take a look."
Hearing this, he was not angry, but complimented: "Yes, Mr. Shangguan is a scholar and treats money like dirt, so we respect him."
Pei Xianzhu said: "Shangguanyi, Li Jingzang is from the Han Dynasty Business Department and is under the control of Your Majesty. He is considered to be my colleague. You can't be so rude."
Shangguan Yi didn't say anything anymore. He came here to watch the excitement, so there was no need to get into a conflict over whether he wanted gold.
What's more, his thousand taels of gold are probably a gimmick, and he often makes extremely high demands that make it difficult for people to fulfill them, so naturally it's impossible to really give them away.
Li Jingzang saluted slowly: "Thank you Miss Pei. Since Miss Pei is interested, and if Li is not talented, I would also like to ask Miss Pei to answer. I wonder if there is anything more convenient to cool down than the ones mentioned before in the hot summer.
Way?"
When the question was raised, a young master came out from among the onlookers and said with a charming look: "Miss Pei, I'm here, Mr. He Bing. Everyone has just proposed several ways to reduce the heat. Miss Pei, please listen."
After that, he told several ways to cool down the summer heat in order to please Pei Xianzhu. Pei Xianzhu was already used to this kind of thing, and after returning the gift, he didn't pay much attention to the young master.
The young master He Bing was very proud of Pei Xianzhu's return gift.
"Haha, Miss Pei returned the gift to me. It seems that Miss Pei will also like me. That's great. As long as I continue to work hard, I will one day pursue Miss Pei!"
This person is just one of the countless young masters who admire her name. As far as Pei Xianzhu is concerned, she just maintains the most common etiquette.
After He Bing finished speaking, the two of them immediately understood that Li Jingzang should be hiding something big.
Since he didn't have any better ideas, Pei Xianzhu had no choice but to ask him for advice with a smile: "My little lady can't think of any good way. It seems that I can't get this thousand taels of gold. But Li Dongjia, I wonder if you have any good way?
"
Li Jingzang saw that everyone was almost gathered, and Pei Xianzhu, the beauty of the country, asked a question in person. His momentum had reached the highest level in the East Market, and he no longer tried to make excuses. He pointed to two objects on the ground and asked everyone present: "
Everyone, do you know what this is?"
Everyone shook their heads to express their ignorance.
He suddenly raised his voice several times: "Of course you don't know, because this is an object specially created by His Majesty to benefit the people. With this object, all the people can turn summer into spring."
"Summer has turned into spring? Are you bragging? Spring is so cool. Looking at summer again, I can't even breathe." The common people didn't believe that there could be such wonders.
Summer is really too uncomfortable, and there is no good solution in the past dynasties. Why is the emperor of the Han Dynasty so special?
But they didn't expect it to be so special.
Li Jingzang invited the unbeliever to sit in front of the hand-operated fan and said: "Since you don't believe it, you can try it yourself. Just put your hands on the two handles and turn them gently.
Do you know?"
"Huh, just give it a try, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it."
This person does not look like an ordinary person, a wealthy person, or a merchant, and his mouth is much tougher than ordinary people.
Li Jingzang didn't take it seriously, because he knew how tough this person was now and how embarrassed he would look when he learned the truth.
The common man put his hand on the rocker and shook the rocker. The rocker began to rotate along the internal gear. A thickened cloth strip connected the two transmission gear structures, driving the fan blades to start rotating.
The people watching were extremely surprised.
"Strange, how do you turn the lower rocker and the leaf-like things on it move?"
Pei Xianzhu and Shangguan Yi also watched curiously, not understanding the reason.
The tough-talking commoner also stopped, a little confused.
"Hey, is it windy?"
After stopping, the wind disappeared again. He didn't believe this evil, so he turned the rocker again, and the wind appeared again. At this time, the onlookers also discovered that as long as the rocker was turned, the fan blades would rotate and bring wind. Stop.
After that, the wind will stop, and this rocker has a miraculous effect. When the rocker rotates once, the fan blades can rotate about three times, which is surprisingly efficient.
Moreover, the tough-talking citizen tried many times. The faster he turned, the faster the fan blades turned, and the stronger the wind became. Even the people standing behind him felt a strong wind blowing towards them.
"What a miraculous thing. How could there be such an object in the world? Was it really made by His Majesty?" Shangguan Yi clicked his tongue in wonder. This thing was rare in the world and had strange effects. He couldn't help but admire it.
"Your Majesty is merciful and created this thing for the sake of the people of the world. I think the Han Dynasty will definitely be an unprecedented dynasty." Pei Xianzhu also sighed.
