Chapter 543 Is someone behind the scenes manipulating?
Hearing that he was a eunuch, someone recognized Long Chen's identity and whispered: "This is Dazhu Kingdom. Both the sage and the princess have served him, so there is no need to be shy."
The women then relaxed their hands and let Long Chen look at them as he pleased.
When they arrived at the warehouse, Gongsun Linglong pointed to the saltpeter warehouse and said, "How do you make ice?"
The man in charge of the warehouse asked strangely: "Pavilion Master, this is saltpeter, how come it has anything to do with ice?"
Gongsun Linglong pointed at Long Chen and said jokingly: "Our Dazhu Kingdom is omnipotent. He said he can make ice from saltpeter, so that's fine."
Long Chen didn't mind at all and said: "Bring me a big water tank and give me a tin bucket."
Gongsun Linglong nodded, and the two women immediately brought a large water tank over and put it away, and then brought over an iron bucket.
"Then what?"
Longsun Linglong looked at Long Chen.
"Pour in the water, fill the water jar with water, and put the tin bucket inside."
The two women immediately used wooden buckets to carry water and poured it in. They quickly filled the large water tank with water and then filled the iron bucket with water.
"Then what?"
Long Chen pointed at the saltpeter and said, "Put the saltpeter in the water and make sure the iron bucket doesn't sink."
The two women obeyed the order and took several kilograms of saltpeter and put it into the water.
When saltpeter enters water, it melts rapidly and the water temperature drops sharply.
"The water is getting cold?"
The woman said in surprise.
Gongsun Linglong put her hand in, and sure enough, the water temperature dropped.
"It's strange, saltpeter can also reduce temperature?"
Long Chen said: "Continue to put it in until the water freezes."
The two women felt very strange and continued to put saltpeter into the water tank.
Soon, the water began to freeze, and the water in the tin bucket lowered its temperature until it began to freeze.
"Wow, it's so cool!"
The two women were surprised.
Gongsun Linglong was also surprised.
"It's true. You are really a genius. How do you know so much?"
Gongsun Linglong was very surprised.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Okay, take out the ice and you will have ice water. Everyone can drink it from now on."
"However, don't drink too much. Your bodies are different."
Women who drink too much ice water are prone to uterine cold...
Gongsun Linglong took a tea bowl, scooped out a bowl of ice water, and drank it.
The hot feeling subsided instantly, and my body couldn't help but shiver.
"Cool!"
On a hot summer day, having a bowl of ice water in such a sultry environment is simply a human enjoyment.
"Make more and give a share to everyone. Don't suffer from heatstroke on such a hot day."
The two women immediately summoned more people to make ice water according to this method.
Word spread quickly about Linglong Pavilion that saltpeter could be used to make ice in summer, and everyone came to see the fun and try it out.
"Is the saltpeter still useful after being soaked in water like this?"
Gongsun Linglong was afraid that the materials for making black powder would be gone.
"It's useful. After evaporation and crystallization, the saltpeter can be extracted again and can be reused."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you for the gunpowder and new weapons. I need ten of those wine jars. You should prepare them for me as soon as possible. I'll need them soon."
Gongsun Linglong patted her chest and said, "No problem, believe me."
Long Chen reached out and patted it, and said: "I believe you!"
Gongsun Linglong and the woman next to him were stunned...
"You slapped my chest?"
Gongsun Linglong said in shock.
Long Chen said seriously: "Yes, this is trust, which means I believe in you!"
Gongsun Linglong said angrily: "You just took advantage of me!"
Long Chen didn't answer, turned around and quickly walked out of the warehouse.
When they arrived at the front office, the female official asked with a smile: "Is Dazhu going to leave soon?"
The female officer put on normal clothes and couldn't see through them.
"Yes, I still have something to do. Come back next time."
The horse was brought over, Long Chen got on the horse and immediately returned to Commander Long's Mansion.
....
Sifanglou.
Zhou Zheng was sitting in the accounting room, pretending to look through the account books impatiently, getting up from time to time and walking around the room twice.
The old accountant was keeping accounts. He saw Zhou Zheng walking around anxiously and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, you have to calm down when reading the account book. You won't be able to remember it like this."
Accounting is a delicate job, and you really can’t do it well if you’re not careful enough.
Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "Old Zhang, you don't know that I have an active personality. It's more uncomfortable to have me locked up here to look at the ledgers than to go to jail."
The old accountant took off his glasses and said with a smile: "The cells do not have such a good environment. They are dark, damp places where lice grow."
Zhou Zheng smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just making an analogy."
After saying that, Zhou Zheng sat down again and continued to read the account book.
"Lao Zhang, you said I don't need to look so carefully, I just have to learn how to look."
Zhou Zheng seems to be careless, but he carefully remembers every account transaction.
Of course, he does not remember the number of accounts of each Tangkou branch, but who is there and how much wages are paid.
"Xiao Zhou, the president asked you to assist in management. If you don't look carefully, how will you know which account is correct? Which account is wrong?"
"You are the president's bodyguard and a confidant. I only let you see the account book if I trust you. You must understand the reason."
The old accountant didn't say anything, but Zhou Zheng could hear the implication.
Ji Ba asked Zhou Zheng to come to Hong Qi to supervise Hong Qi.
"clear."
Zhou Zheng sighed and continued to read the account book patiently.
Seeing Zhou Zheng's uncomfortable look, the old accountant shook his head slightly and continued to do the accounting.
....
Long Chen returned to the house and entered the courtyard. He Juntao came over to lead the horse.
Xuan Hui played games with Hua'er under the tree again.
"Xuanhui, I think you two are a good match. How about you return to secular life and I decide to arrange a wedding for you?"
Long Chen walked over with a smile.
Xuan Hui raised her head and saw Long Chen coming over. She stared at the painting for a while and said, "No, I won't return to secular life."
Hua'er blushed and said, "I know how to make fun of people."
Then he said to Xuanhui: "If you don't return to secular life, I will still look down on you."
After saying that, Hua'er lost her things, turned around and ran away.
Xuan Hui watched Hua'er go away helplessly, and said unhappily: "I will have no one to play with in the future."
Girls mature earlier than boys. Long Chen was just joking, but Hua'er took it seriously.
"Bring some small gifts over tomorrow and give them to Hua'er. Her anger will subside and you can continue playing."
Long Chen touched Xuan Hui's bald head.
Xuan Hui asked: "Seriously? I think she is angry."
Long Chen smiled and said: "I am hanging out among the flowers, how could I say something wrong?"
Xuanhui complained: "I am different from Dazhuguo. We are just a game and you are taking advantage."
Long Chen frowned and gave Xuan Hui a hard time: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Leaving Xuan Hui behind, Long Chen returned to the backyard and entered the study, where Feng He was waiting.
"grown ups."
Feng He stood up and saluted.
"Having a problem?"
Long Chen closed the door and sat down, pouring two cups of tea.
"There is no problem, everything is going according to plan, and we are slowly getting to know the details of the Tianxiahui."
"It's just... I still feel like there's something wrong with me."
Feng He was a little hesitant, not sure whether he should say it or not.
"Do you still think there is someone controlling the world behind your back?"
Last time Feng He said that Long Chen denied this statement and thought it was impossible.
Who can control the world? Then he can pacify the world and become the king and hegemony?
