Yang Haiyan doesn't know if boiling water can boil saltpeter, but he can try it. Yang Haiyan was already thinking about how to try it out. For example, after the ice has melted, when the water is boiled, it is wrong?

This can't be done, and soon, Yang Haiyan has other ideas.

Qin Fang was in high spirits and in a particularly good spirit: "Yanyan, you go to bed first, I'll write a letter to Master Du and tell him the method of making ice with saltpeter."

Yang Haiyan said: "Okay. By the way, Xianggong, why do you always write to Lord Du instead of directly presenting the memorial to the emperor?"

Qin Fang had his own thoughts: "I first entered the imperial court, and I didn't come from the imperial examination. I didn't understand many of the rules of the imperial court, but I got along with Mr. Du, and I thought Mr. Du was a good official, so I gave him the letter, If he thinks there is something inappropriate in his heart, he should remind me, this is one of them. Second, I am a military general, and the memorial of the military general should go to the Ministry of War first, so theoretically there is no problem."

Yang Haiyan has read the laws of Qiguo, and Qiguo has no cabinet, so unlike many dynasties, many dynasties have cabinets, so the official memorials will go to the cabinet first, and then the cabinet will select and present it to the emperor. In this case, the cabinet will first After reading the memorial, sometimes someone in the cabinet does not deal with the official who wrote the memorial, so the memorial may be suppressed.

Of course, official memorials are transcribed and registered before they are submitted.

There is another way, that is, the official hand over the memorial to the emperor in private, which will cause trouble to the people in the palace.

However, although some dynasties did not have a cabinet, there was another method of submitting memorials. That is, the court has a special department for collecting memorials, called the Minister of General Affairs, which is then sent to the palace by the Secretary of General Affairs, and handed over to the officials in charge of the palace, and then presented to the emperor's royal table.

In Qiguo, the memorials of civil servants and military generals are separate. The memorials of the civil ministers were directly handed over to the Minister of Communications, who then handed them over to the palace, and then the officials in the palace to the emperor. The memorials of military generals usually go to the Ministry of War first. Of course, if the generals do not want to hand over the memorial to the Ministry of War, it is also possible to hand it directly to the Secretary of General Affairs.

Only in this way, the Ministry of War is sometimes a little embarrassing. For example, in some cases, the emperor knows about it, but the Ministry of War does not. When the emperor asked questions in the early court, the officials of the Ministry of War were passive. It is also possible that the military officials will hate the generals for this. For generals, this is not beneficial.

Moreover, some situations related to the Ministry of War, if the Ministry of War knows first, it is also conducive to the adjustment of the Ministry of War.

However, Qin Fang gave Du Ke the memorial first, not because of these, he just wanted to find a backer and hug his thighs. He knew that he was a gentleman and didn't understand some things, and hoped that Du Ke could give him some pointers. Du Ke is the Minister of the Ministry of War, even if Qin Fang does not understand the affairs of the imperial court, he also knows that the Minister of the Ministry of War is not everyone, especially when the new emperor ascends the throne, he wants to hold the military power the most.

Qin Fang has some dark thoughts of his own. He will not tell Yang Haiyan. He does not want his daughter-in-law to know some of his scheming thoughts. When he has nothing, when he is down, when he is illiterate, she is always here , he doesn't care about being in front of her, he used to be poor, he doesn't care about being in front of her, he is imperfect and has many flaws. However, he just didn't want her to know about his conspiracies.

Qin Fang wrote the memorial overnight, and at dawn the next day, he sent someone to the capital.

So two and a half days later, Master Du waited for Qin Fang's second letter.

Du Ke was in the imperial study right now, looking at the emperor face to face. Half an hour ago, Du Ke walked out from here, and the two rulers and ministers also discussed the rewards of Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan. Unexpectedly, after half an hour, Qin Fang sent another credit for making ice with saltpeter. Qin Fang dared to say this, then saltpeter must be able to make ice.

The Emperor: "Sulfur mines, saltpeter mines, barracks fields, saltpeter ice making, these piles of things together happened in the second year of my enthronement, Du Ke, tell me, this Qin Fang is really My lucky star." The matter of benefiting the country and the people happened when he ascended the throne, and no emperor would not like such a good thing.

Du Ke was startled and remembered what his father said just today. His father said that Qin Fang was a good person and was lucky.

And the emperor likes this kind of lucky people the most. Especially someone like Qin Fang, who was born in a poor family, has no backers, no family, no matter how lucky he is, no matter how high he is, he is not afraid of him doing bad things.

The emperor said again: "In March, it rained for half a month, the dam collapsed, and the flood flooded. Everyone said that the name of the throne was not justified. No, Qin Fang suppressed the bandits and sent them to the emperor. Here comes the silver. Tell me, if when I ascended the throne, I produced gunpowder, solved the food problem for the millions of soldiers in the military camp, and solved the ice that even the family was reluctant to use, who else would say, the name of the throne. It's not right, and it has attracted God's punishment?"

Duke lowered his head and dared not speak.

The emperor laughed: "Qin Fang is not bad, his wife is not bad, you are right, this is the marriage led by me, and I am their Yue Lao."

Duco: You say yes, that is.

The emperor: "come here, ask the Taiyuan Hospital to bring some saltpeter. Let's try Qin Fang's method of making ice with saltpeter. If it is successful, the price of ice will drop, and the common people may be able to afford it. Seeing that the country is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, that’s really…”

Du Ke: "The emperor is wise and wise, he can definitely do it."

The emperor heard a lot of flattery like this: "Unfortunately, no matter how big the saltpeter mine is, it is limited. If the saltpeter mine is dug out, and there is no saltpeter to make ice, the ice will still be..."

Du Ke said: "Perhaps Qin Fang mentioned more than one saltpeter mine in the Beast Mountain."

The emperor: "Even if there are two places and three places, that is limited."

After a while, the imperial physician came with saltpeter, and according to the emperor's wealth, he brought enough saltpeter. Because saltpeter is slightly poisonous, the imperial physician personally came here.

When the imperial doctor arrived, the imperial study had already placed a large basin and a small basin, both basins were filled with water, and the small basin was placed in the large basin.

The emperor: "Put the saltpeter in the big pot, don't touch the small pot."

Eunuch: "Yes."

Imperial doctor: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for taking courage. Saltpeter is poisonous. You should not abuse saltpeter without the doctor's instructions. Do you know what the Emperor wants?"

The emperor usually listens to the doctor's words, after all, it is related to his own body, but today he also wants to show off in front of the doctor: "This saltpeter has other uses that you don't know, just look at it... big pot. Put more saltpeter in it."

Eunuch: "Yes."

Since the emperor said so, the imperial doctor naturally watched. However, the reaction of saltpeter to absorb heat and cool down is still very fast, and because there is enough saltpeter, after half an hour, the water in the basin begins to be cold. But it's just cold air, and it's far from freezing.

Both eyes of the imperial physician lit up: "Your Majesty, what is this?" The imperial physician was shocked. As an imperial physician, he did not dare to say that he had read a lot of books, but he had read almost all books related to medicine, but he never knew that saltpeter had such effects.

Upon seeing this, the emperor laughed again. It can be seen from the laughter that he is in a very good mood today: "Qiu Aiqing, it is said that saltpeter is poisonous. If you put it in water to make ice, the ice produced is also poisonous, but if you make ice in this way, the ice in the small basin is poisonous. Poisonous, edible, do you think so?"

Imperial Physician Qiu: "We have to ask Wei Chen to check it." It is very simple to check whether ice made from water is poisonous and whether it can be eaten. As long as the water that is now air-conditioned is non-toxic, then it becomes ice and is naturally non-toxic.

So very soon, Imperial Physician Qiu came to a conclusion: "Your Majesty, as you just said, making ice from water is indeed non-toxic, but the water in this big pot is poisonous, because too much saltpeter is put in, which speeds up the cooling rate. So this toxicity is stronger than the toxicity of saltpeter itself."

The emperor: "That is to say, if the Ministry of Industry can design a good ice-making utensil, it is completely possible to use saltpeter to make safe and edible ice."

Doctor Qiu: "Yes."

The emperor sighed: "Unfortunately, the amount of saltpeter is limited, and the ice that can be made is also limited."

Imperial Doctor Qiu thought: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe saltpeter can be used repeatedly, but it has not been verified yet, and Wei Chen is not sure."

Hearing this, the emperor asked excitedly, "How about this?"

Doctor Qiu said: "Boil. Saltpeter is melted in water, and boiling water may boil saltpeter."

Duke: "What do you mean by that?"

Imperial Physician Qiu thought for a while, took out a white handkerchief, took out a bottle of potion, poured the potion on the handkerchief, and then explained: "Have the emperor and Lord Du ever heard of cooking medicine? This potion was poured on the handkerchief. On the son, if the handkerchief is dry, put the handkerchief in a pot with water and boil the potion on the handkerchief. This saltpeter is dissolved in water, and it should be able to cook the saltpeter. If the saltpeter dissolved in water is really It can be boiled, so the saltpeter ice can be used repeatedly.”

The emperor: "Then the ice is worthless, and the common people can afford ice." Although the ice-making family has no profit, but in the heart of the emperor, the common people are naturally more important.

If Yang Haiyan was here at this time, she would definitely be excited when she heard the words of Imperial Physician Qiu. The wisdom of the ancients is truly incredible.

The emperor said again: "In this case, the matter of boiling saltpeter will be left to you. Remember, this matter must not be spread out."

Imperial Physician Qiu: "The minister obeys the order."

The emperor nodded: "Go out now." He instructed the **** again, "Help Imperial Physician Qiu move these things to the imperial hospital."

Imperial Physician: "Yes."

Doctor Qiu: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Du Ke came in the afternoon, it was already past dinner time, and it was getting dark, so after verifying the fact of making ice with saltpeter, he said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, and it's time for Wei Chen to leave. "

The emperor: "No hurry, you stay in the palace and accompany me for dinner."
