Chapter 182 We work hard all day, can't we enjoy ourselves?
Seeing the curious expressions on the faces of Emperor Wei and Daddy.
Qin Yu then explained to them how to make ice from saltpeter.
After hearing this, Emperor Wei and Qin Wenyao were all amazed at Qin Yu's discovery ability.
Actually, this is really not that difficult, but no one has ever discovered it.
Emperor Wei felt the coolness in the palace, looked at the iced fruits and iced wine on the table, then turned to look at Qin Yaowen and the others, "Let's rest here, if we want to walk around again, we have to lie down."
"
Zhongshu Ling Tao Xing nodded in agreement, his face turned red, "Your Majesty said, let's take a rest here. Many officials have fainted today, and there is no room in the hospital."
Then, Emperor Wei was not polite and waved his hand, "My dear ladies, sit down, let's eat some iced fruits and drink some iced wine. We have worked so hard for the country and the people all day long, why can't we enjoy it?"
"Let's play music and dance! This afternoon, we brothers will take a break."
Even Qin Wenyao didn't refute today.
It doesn't matter if you enjoy the dance or not, it's really exciting to watch.
Resting in this hall is simply not very comfortable.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan had no choice but to move aside.
His biological father and father-in-law are both here, so Qin Yu can't drive them all out.
Later, Emperor Wei called the people from the Ice Administration Department and asked them to make ice according to Qin Yu's method.
Tomorrow, ice will be put on all departments of the imperial court to create a good office environment for the officials.
After a while, Emperor Wei and others began to discuss government affairs in the palace. They had no intention of leaving. Seeing this, they had completely occupied this place today.
...
At night, the bright moon is in the sky.
Prince Qin's Mansion.
lobby.
Qin Yu's family is having a meal.
The four shelves in the house are filled with ice basins, making the house very cool.
Qin Yu's creation of ice made everyone very happy.
Otherwise, I don’t know how I will survive this summer.
They are eating.
Zhang Zhixin came pacing from outside the hall, with excitement on his face, "foreigner's nephew!"
Qin Yu picked up the rice and said vaguely: "Uncle, why are you so busy today?"
Qin Zhang asked: "Have you eaten? Do you want to eat more?"
"I've eaten."
Zhang Zhixin said with a smile: "I came here specifically to see my nephew today."
After saying that, he looked at Qin Yu and asked: "Old nephew, can you teach me your ice-making technique?"
Qin Yu looked at Zhang Zhixin's excitement and understood instantly, "No problem, but I have to invest in technology, and I will get a share of the money I make. Now I make my own money and spend it myself."
Zhang Zhixin had a smile on his face and said, "Of course it's no problem, either of us will follow the other."
Qin Feng couldn't help being stunned and asked: "Uncle, you are going to sell ice business!"
Zhang Zhixin chuckled and said, "Both my nephew and my old nephew are smart and have a clear head. On such a hot day, for dignitaries, this ice is more expensive than gold. I have already contacted the buyer."
Qin Yu nodded, "Uncle, you have to hurry up. Making ice with saltpeter is too easy. You will know the method after a little inquiry, and you can't hide it."
Zhang Zhixin said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, just make a profit in ten days and a half, just treat it as pocket money."
Later, Qin Yu told Zhang Zhixin the method.
Zhang Zhixin was about to leave.
Qin Yu added: "Uncle, actually we can do more than just ice business."
Zhang Zhixin asked doubtfully: "How do you say this?"
Qin Yu raised his lips slightly, "If the method of making ice with saltpeter spreads, then everyone will know how to make ice, so..."
"Hey!"
Zhang Zhixin slapped his head and suddenly realized, "Then the damn saltpeter mine will become a treasure. How could I forget about this! I have to buy land with a saltpeter mine as soon as possible!"
After saying this, Zhang Zhixin rushed out like crazy.
Qin Feng looked at Zhang Zhixin's leaving figure and couldn't help but sigh: "Second brother, you are really smart. If you don't make money, it will be unfair."
Qin Yu smiled lightly and said, "Thank you, big brother."
Qin Yu had never wanted to hide the idea of making ice from saltpeter. The main reason was that the profit was too low and the replicability was too high, so he couldn't make much money.
He doesn't bother to think about projects that don't make money.
Qin Wenyao was speechless the whole time and frowned.
Seeing his appearance, Mrs. Qin Zhang glared at him, "Don't look for trouble again. It's your son's job to make money. If you have the ability, you can make up your own mind!"
Qin Wenyao was stunned and said helplessly: "Yes! Can't I just eat?"
...
Jinling City.
Seven days later.
The method of making ice with saltpeter began to spread in Jinling City, and the price of ice plummeted every day.
Ten days later.
The price of saltpeter began to skyrocket, rising steadily. When people discovered that most of the saltpeter mines had been bought by Zhang Zhixin, they were so angry that they slapped their thighs, but it was too late.
Zhang Zhixin made nearly half a million taels of silver in just ten days.
This is quite a lot for selling ice and saltpeter, and the price of saltpeter will drop with the discovery of the veins, but it will not drop much. After all, it will be needed to make ice every summer in the future.
Qin Yu also made a small fortune because of this incident.
After fifteen days.
Dishun and Miao Xiangyang left Jinling City one after another.
Qin Yu's plan is going smoothly.
Salt from the barren mountains in the western suburbs is being supplied continuously to the hands of profiteers in Dongzhou, Pingzhou and other major aristocratic families.
Since Emperor Wei still maintained his intention to conquer Dongzhou, merchants from all over the country were also hoarding crazily.
However, some people are confused as to why there has been so much salt in the Wei Dynasty recently.
But none of this affects Qin Yu's plan.
Twenty days later.
Qin Feng finished his debriefing and prepared to return to Guyang Pass to guard the border.
This time he came back with great results.
Emperor Wei not only agreed to build two horse farms for him, but also gave him more than 10,000 horses.
Jinling City.
North city gate.
Qin Yu and Shen Binglan sent Qin Feng out of the city.
"Second brother, Lan'er, I will leave my parents to you. When I came back this time, I saw that you are so good, so I felt relieved."
Qin Feng looked at Qin Yu with warm smiles on their faces.
Qin Yu nodded, "Don't worry, brother, I will take care of the family, but you must pay attention to safety and don't be anxious. Our Wei Dynasty is developing little by little, and one day we will fight out of Guyang Pass!"
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Second brother, I believe what you say. You are really smart and wise. My brother will definitely take advantage of you in the future."
Qin Feng really admires his younger brother.
Qin Yu smiled helplessly, "Brother, please stop making fun of your younger brother."
As he spoke, he pointed to a dozen carriages outside the city, "Brother, my younger brother has no other abilities, so I have prepared some gifts for you."
Qin Feng looked at the carriage and was stunned, "What is it?"
Qin Yu smiled and said, "You can find out after you go and take a look. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
