The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Water condenses into ice.

Li Shimin had seen Zhao Chen's magical methods with his own eyes.

When Zhao Chen said this today, didn't he mean to use this magical method?

Wei Zheng was also shocked to see His Majesty the Emperor suddenly so excited.

I thought His Majesty the Emperor was possessed by a ghost.

This sudden shock showed no trace of the magnanimity that an emperor should have.

Wei Zheng had already thought about it in his mind.

Tomorrow in the court, if His Majesty the Emperor is not defeated, Wei Zheng will stand on his head and have diarrhea.

"Yes, it's ice." Zhao Chen smiled slightly, took out a handful of saltpeter and threw it into the wooden basin in front of him.

The water in the tub suddenly burst into smoke, and a small piece of ice floated on the surface.

Before Li Shimin and Wei Zheng could react, there were more and more ice cubes in the tub.

Within a dozen breaths, I saw that the water that had been slowly filling the basin before had turned into ice cubes.

"Clang!"

The bench behind Wei Zheng's butt hit the ground.

He didn't seem to notice this, but looked at the wooden basin in front of him in shock.

The water in the tub was freshly drawn from the well.

Wei Zheng felt his throat was a little spicy just now, so he took a sip while holding the wooden basin.

But why did the water that was drinkable just now turn into ice in an instant?

"Papa -"

Wei Zheng patted his face gently, probably thinking that he was dreaming.

Zhao Chen glanced at Wei Zheng, shook his head, and secretly thought that the mentality of Old Li Tou's subordinate still needed to be tempered.

How could such a simple thing make him doubt his life?

Li Shimin naturally saw Zhao Chen shaking his head, even though he had seen it before.

But even if I watch it again, I still feel extremely shocked.

But it's shocking. Wei Zheng's actions now make Lao Litou feel very embarrassed.

He kicked Wei Zheng hard on the thigh.

"Ouch——"

Wei Zheng screamed like he was killing a pig again in the tavern.

…

In the tavern, Wei Zheng went to get two more wooden basins and brought two basins of water over.

Li Shimin and Wei Zheng stood in front of the table, looking at the crystal clear well water in the wooden basin.

Next to the wooden basin, Zhao Chen put some more saltpeter on the table.

Zhao Chen said that he wanted them to experience the method of condensing water into ice.

Li Shimin and Wei Zheng have yet to take action.

They were quite surprised. Could it be that with these small stones, they could condense water into ice like Zhao Chen?

Wei Zheng glanced at Li Shimin and wondered why His Majesty the Emperor still didn't take action.

He couldn't help but want to see this magical method.

Li Shimin looked at the wooden basin in front of him, took a deep breath, grabbed a handful of saltpeter, and threw it into the water.

Seeing Li Shimin's move, Wei Zheng also hurriedly threw the saltpeter into his wooden basin.

Then I saw cold smoke rising from the two wooden basins, and ice cubes slowly emerged.

"hiss--"

Two gasps of air sounded in the tavern.

That long breath.

Before, Zhao Chen thought there was a gas leak in his house.

At this moment, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng finally understood the purpose of Zhao Chen's method of condensing water into ice.

Some small stones can condense into ice cubes.

Li Shimin thought about Zhao Chen's method of freezing hot tea before, and thought that even hot water could be condensed into ice. This must be a big deal.

For a time, countless profitable transactions emerged in Li Shimin's mind.

Li Shimin seemed to see a large wave of money roaring towards him.

"How?" Zhao Chen asked, waking up the two people who were in shock.

"It's really unimaginable." Wei Zheng looked at Zhao Chen with shock.

The young man in front of him actually had such a method.

He is truly a genius in the world.

Wei Zheng felt even more shocked when he thought about what His Majesty the Emperor had told him before, that the calligraphy and paintings were all done by Zhao Chen.

It is a pity that His Majesty the Emperor said that the cart and the plow were made by others.

If not, Wei Zheng would have snatched Zhao Chen to the court.

If I, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, could have such abilities as this young man, the Tang Dynasty would be prosperous!

Wei Zheng thought to himself.

Li Shimin didn't say anything, but he was increasingly satisfied with Zhao Chen in his heart.

"Old Li Tou, tell me, how much profit can we make from using saltpeter to make ice?" Zhao Chen said to Old Li Tou with a smile.

"Countless!" Li Shimin said.

It's hot summer now, and every wealthy family will want to use some ice cubes to escape the heat.

But the ice cubes were all stored in the ice cellar during the previous winter.

Very few can store ice.

It is difficult to sell ice cubes in the market.

This is more valuable than pepper.

Even the emperor was short of the ice cubes he had saved years ago in the summer.

A basin of ice cubes like this that Li Shimin usually rewards could be sold for thirty cents a basin if sold on the market.

That’s really a sky-high price.

But even so, few people would sell it.

There is ice in summer, which is also a symbol of identity and status.

"Master, this business is definitely feasible!" Wei Zheng hurriedly told Li Shimin.

Wei Zheng is in trouble these days.

His family is already so poor that they can hardly take the blame. If he can get a share of the pie...

"Mr. Zhao, I also want to join your ice-making business, can you?" Wei Zheng looked at Zhao Chen flatteringly.

Li Shimin almost got violent and beat someone up.

How could this old man ever have such a good face when facing him?

He is a majestic emperor, but he can't compare to

But Zhao Chen, an ordinary citizen.

Thinking about it, Li Shimin wanted to punish Wei Zheng severely.

"Of course there is no problem." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

If you have money, let’s make it together!

Zhao Chen just wanted to make some money, not to become rich and powerful.

If that were the case, it would be easy to be targeted.

Zhao Chen didn't want his life to be disrupted.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with Zhao Chen's reaction.

He thought that Zhao Chen wanted to make money, and maybe he had some pursuits.

If your thoughts become more serious at that time, you might even think about returning to the palace and becoming the crown prince!

And he also saw that Zhao Chen didn't just want to make money alone, otherwise he wouldn't agree to Wei Zheng's request.

Win people's hearts and don't covet small immediate gains.

This boy has the air of a prince.

"Two businesses, what do you need to do?" Li Shimin said with a smile.

"For peppers, I need a large area of ​​land for planting, so that I won't be unable to sell them later."

"In addition, there are enough planting manpower, transportation channels, sales channels, and professional shopkeepers." Zhao Chen said slowly.

"As for the saltpeter needed to make ice, it's a little more troublesome."

"What's the trouble?" Li Shimin asked.

"I discovered a saltpeter mine and I need mining documents from the government." Zhao Chen said.

"This is easy to handle, Old Wei can handle it." Li Shimin smiled proudly.

The entire Tang Dynasty belongs to him, so where can't he handle the mining?

"Don't worry, boss, I'll take care of it when I get back." Old Wei nodded hurriedly.

This is the most harmonious time for the two of them.

Of course, this was related to Wei Zheng's own interests, so he naturally wanted to take it seriously.

"As for the other things, they are just like the peppers. Manpower, transportation, sales, accounting and shopkeepers, all the links must be missing." After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he was also wondering if he had missed anything.
