Prosperous Tang special forces

Chapter 271 Ice Making
"What the Taoist said, I also want to live a long life. I also want to see the prosperity of the country I have worked hard for. If I don't step down, I can't live for a long time."

"You don't have to be like this at all. Your Majesty is a wise king, and he will never think about you because of your great achievements."

"Master Taoist, you don't understand. There are too many helplessness in life. The reason why people live wonderfully is because they have ideals and aspirations. Taoism emphasizes inaction and non-competition. But in fact, Taoism, like Buddhism, only guides people to be good. They can’t influence national policy, no matter when in this world only Legalism is the unchanging truth, no matter how powerful Confucianism is, it will never be able to overthrow Legalism.”

"Daddy, you're bleeding."

A childish voice sounded in the ears of the two people who were talking. At this time, Long Feiyu was sitting on the ground because of what happened just now.His three-year-old daughter was just within reach of his hand.

At this time, it was her words that pulled everyone back. After hearing the child's words, Sun Yun and Feiying noticed that Long Feiyu's hands were already full of cracks, worse than Feiying's hands.

The tips of the ten fingers were already bloody, and the nails were all worn out.It was obvious that Long Feiyu put in so much effort when he was digging the soil just now.

As the sound woke everyone up, Feifei said in a deep voice, "I'll go get the medicine."

As soon as he turned around, he saw a large group of people standing not far away. At this moment, everyone's faces were obviously cloudy.Long Feiyu's intentional finding of faults and resignation was naturally heard by Li Shimin.

Seeing Li Shimin's unkind expression, a group of people cheered and bowed down.Li Shimin waved his hand to make everyone flatten, walked slowly in front of Long Feiyu, and said in a deep voice: "Is it that unworthy of your trust? I thought we were friends, but it turned out to be just my wishful thinking."

"Does Your Majesty feel that the royal family has family affection? All your affection becomes out of reach when it threatens your status."

"Why? Is there something I'm not doing well enough?"

"It is precisely because your majesty has done so well that a wise gentleman cannot have friends. Friends have no identity boundaries, and true friendship can stand the test. When I threatened your status, the friendship between us disappeared in an instant. I will become an enemy. Compared with this distant friendship, I believe that self-knowledge can make me live longer. I am willing to be your merchant and open up territories for you. Make suggestions. But I don’t want to be Your descendants praise and kill.

There is a saying in the far west that if you want to deal with a person, you should raise him to the highest level, make him inflated, and then kill him.If I don't retreat, sooner or later I will become the one who is praised and killed. "

"Is this what you think of me?"

"No, not to His Majesty, but to the imperial power. In other words, I am very assured of Your Majesty, and I am confident that I will live out my own splendor in your era. I don't like to be a future minister of power, and I don't like to be a person who doesn't A deaf-mute who doesn't care. What I want is a relatively fair world, and what I want is to live for a long time. If the Tang Empire goes astray, pull him back in a crisis."

"Pull it back? I don't dare to believe in you now, can I believe in you in the future?"

"Hehe, after your Majesty takes this position, I'm afraid the only trust you can give is to the empress, right? Apart from her, there is no one worthy of your trust. Only she is dedicated to you wholeheartedly. As for others, no matter who they are, more or less always I have selfish intentions. I just want to live longer, Your Majesty should understand what I mean. You have exalted me, and I am afraid that even you will not be able to keep me."

"Really? Is there anything in this world that I can't control?"

"Your Majesty, the world is so vast, and there are too many things that you can't control. I don't want to get promoted and get rich, but to live a long and chic life."

"Okay, since you said so, then you don't have to work hard to move the gold you put in the treasury. Anyway, it's useless if you want it."

"Your Majesty knows that if I do something, I either don't do it, or if I do it, I have to do it. Today you swallowed my gold, and tomorrow I will find a way to get it back. Why are you doing this?"

"Hehe, frankly speaking, you made me very angry, but you are the only one who dares to tell the truth to me. Even Wei Zheng, who I have always thought of as a humerus, dare not say so."

"Okay, I came to see you today, not to hold you accountable. What are you doing here?"

"Repair the ice cellar."

"Ice cellar? You want to repair the ice cellar? Hehe, where did you get the ice in this hot day? Why do you repair it?"

"Naturally, we people can't compare with you, Your Majesty, but this time I earned so much money, I thought about it, although my son has a lot, but I don't plan to spend it on him, and my daughter is just this one for now, when I get married 1 taels of gold is enough. The rest has to be spent. Otherwise, at the current level of spending in our family, I’m afraid I won’t be able to spend it all when I’m dying. Build an ice cellar and find a way to burn it. money."

"Long Feiyu, stop talking nonsense. I found something you made on your outside table just now. The thing is so cold, it must have been chilled with ice. If you don't have ice, will you repair the ice cellar?"

"Hehe, Cheng Guogong is indeed a connoisseur of gluttony. To tell you the truth, I found a way to make ice cubes in summer. Do you want to learn? If you learn, I can teach you, and you can make ice cubes in summer. Put the fresh vegetables in it and take them out in winter.”

"Really?" Obviously, Cheng Zhijie is very interested in researching this unknown matter.

"Of course, I'll show you right now. You can show it off to your wife when you get home."

Hearing what Long Feiyu said, Cheng Zhijie glared and said, "What are you talking about, who wants to show off like a woman like him."

"Our two families are neighbors. Your voice is so thick that I can hear your loud voice if you are not careful. If you have any good news, you must be the first to tell your wife. Are you right? And every time it is indispensable She babbled."

"It's nothing, don't spread rumors." Cheng Zhijie glanced at the people around him with obvious guilt, if it got out, his bad face would be ruined.

Cheng Zhi's abstinence statement immediately elicited bursts of laughter.Hearing everyone's laughter, Cheng Zhijie immediately glared at Long Feiyu and said, "Tomorrow I will raise the courtyard wall of our two families, I don't believe the sound can still come through."

"That's a good relationship. I'll do it if you save money."

"Okay, Cheng Guogong, you guys will talk later." Feifei walked over with a basin of clear water and said to Cheng Zhijie.

Cheng Zhijie noticed the wound on Long Feiyu's hand and didn't speak, just quietly waiting for Feifei to finish bandaging the wound for Long Feiyu.He said excitedly: "Come on, aren't you going to demonstrate your method of making ice? Your Majesty, let's go and see together."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Alright, I also want to see how Long Feiyu makes ice."

As he spoke, Long Feiyu turned around and said to the group of people: "You guys dig out the soil from the ice cellar. If you can't make a hole, just dig it directly. It's the same when filling the soil with stone hoops."

"Yes"

Since Long Feiyu had an injury on his hand, Feiying came to demonstrate the method, and he also watched the whole process just now.When the water in which the saltpeter was dissolved was frozen, the group of people widened their eyes with surprise, and Changsun Wuji said: "I have heard that saltpeter can be dissolved in water to freeze, but I have never tried it before. It's true. Is Long Feiyu's ice edible?"

"Yes, but the ice made from saltpeter has a bitter taste, so under normal circumstances, you need to add something to eat it, but I made it with something to separate it. When the ice cellar is repaired, I will put the ice cubes in. The ice cellar is blocked to prevent ventilation. The block can be kept for a long time."

"Okay, Lord Long is really versatile. I heard that Lord Long accepted Cheng Guogong's third son as an apprentice, and he also threatened that he is a handsome talent. Today, His Majesty specially brought a few princes. I wonder if Lord Long can see their future achievements?"

"Your Majesty was joking. In fact, there are no absolute things in this world. Many things can be achieved with acquired efforts. Just like my children, it doesn't matter whether they are smart or not, what matters is acquired education The eldest and second child of the Cheng family is naughty by nature, and puts all his abilities in playing, and doesn't care much about marching and fighting, so I say this. As for the third child of the Cheng family, as long as he is properly educated, it is only a matter of time before he becomes handsome."

"I see. I wonder what Lord Long thinks of these princes? If Lord Long has time, you might as well accept them as disciples and teach them well."

"Hehe, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person. My way is the way of the common people. What the princes want to learn is the way of the emperor. My way is no different from them. If you want to learn the way of the emperor, you still have to be educated by Master Wei and Master Kong. "

"Lord Long is joking, the prince only needs to understand the way of the emperor, and it is useless for the rest of the princes to learn."

"Since the empress knows, why do you have to teach the princes? Whether their abilities are outstanding or not is not important to my Tang Dynasty. The position of the prince has been determined early. The princes only need to be a free and easy king. accumulating itself."

"Teacher's remark is wrong. It will be a help to elder brother if we know more. After all, brothers are better than courtiers, aren't they?"

"The king of Wei has said this, and it is the greatest benefit for the prince that you keep yourselves in order."

"Long Aiqing, that's not what you said. These princes of mine are all very heroic. Tai Er even compiled "Kuo Di Zhi" to enrich his knowledge, just like the children of your Long family who help each other, Is it not good to support each other?"

"Really? That's my negligence."

"Yes, Aiqing knows a lot about the topography and mountains of my Tang Dynasty. I think it will be very helpful for Tai'er to grow up if you teach him."

"Your Majesty was joking. The princes have all grown up, and they all have their own teachers. How dare I teach you rashly? Besides, I like to carve beautiful jade that has not been carved. Just like the third child of the Cheng family, he Little, no one has taught me, and the minister's children are also young, and I think that one sheep can be chased, and two sheep can be chased, so it is just right to put them together with the minister's young sons."

"Long Feiyu, you're such an idiot. It was useless for me to preach in court for a long time. You think it's troublesome to teach us two big feelings. You changed to teach the younger ones. Then why didn't you think it was troublesome when you taught Qin Huaiyu and the others?"

"Hehe, what you said, the sea is so boring. I can't drag those soldiers to educate them, can I? With these few people, at least the journey will not be lonely, right?"
