The Master of the Kingdom

Mu Yan is not afraid of cold at all. In the mid-winter season, fur coats are added to singles. But Mu Yan was particularly afraid of heat.

Mu Yan uses ice very quickly every summer. He obviously stores a lot of ice, but he has to buy it at a high price every summer.

This year, Su Yi will use saltpeter to make ice. Others don't know how to make ice saltpeter. Gunpowder has not been discovered yet, so the raw material of saltpeter is not difficult to find, so Mu Yan finally didn't have to buy ice from outside at a high price.

In fact, the ancient nobles had many ways to escape the heat. Nowadays, nobles build more basement "caves" and place ice cubes in them to escape the heat.

However, Beijing is rainy in summer. Once it rains, the basement will be humid for a long time, making it difficult to live in.

Mu Yan once fell ill because of coveting the coolness of the cave room. Moreover, when Mu Yan was young, he followed the emperor to fight in the north and south, and suffered a lot of hidden injuries on his body. Once you are in a cold place, your whole body will soon feel aching.

For the sake of health, Mu Yan rarely goes to the cave room.

There are many ways to enjoy the coolness without going to the cave. The nobles will also build "summer houses" on the ground. In the summer room, there is a bed made of jade, an ice basin is placed under the bed, an ice tray is placed in front of the bed, and the next person keeps facing the fan. .

But Mu Yan's body did not allow him to sleep on the jade bed for a long time.

Ice cubes can neither be placed in the cave room nor in the summer room. It is strange that they are not used quickly if they are placed in the open air in a hot room.

Later, Su Yi asked Mu Yan to make a bamboo chair and bamboo bed made of jade and bamboo, so that Mu Yan felt a little better while taking care of his body.

Only then did Su Yi know that Mu Yan, who looks strong on weekdays, was not in good health.

Mu Yan said, "It's not bad. I'm still young, and the royal doctor said that I can raise it slowly for a few more years."

Su Yi asked, "Will your body hurt if you live near the water?"

Mu Yan said, "This is not true."

It's strange to say that it should be cold and wet by the water. I don't know why, but I don't feel any pain when I live by the river.

Su Yi thought to himself, is it because the water is not actually cooling, but the constant temperature? Didn't you exceed the limits of your body too much?

But he didn't study medicine, so he was just guessing.

"Since he can't be at the water's edge, why don't Heqing go to escape the heat?" Su Yi said.

Mu Yan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty loves me. If your Majesty is going to escape the summer heat, he will definitely take me with you. If your Majesty does not go, I can't help but go to court. In this city, how can there be a place to escape the summer heat?"

Su Yi was curious: "Yes, why doesn't Your Majesty go to escape the summer heat this year."

Mu Yan thought, because he wanted to get a lot of people's hearts through the promotion of potatoes, he promoted the imperial examination in one go. His Majesty did not dare to leave Beijing at this critical moment, for fear that the family would react and change in Beijing.

However, he would not disturb Su Yi's mood with such things that knowing it would be useless. He only said: "The government is busy. Your Majesty can't leave the capital easily. Even the second prince who had asked to escape from the summer heat outside Beijing and delayed entering the capital was caught. Asked to come back as soon as possible."

Su Yi said: "Yes, I said before that the second prince is coming back soon, but it hasn't been back since January. It turns out that Beijing is too hot."

He still has a picture given to the second prince.

Mu Yan nodded: "Your Majesty and Empress are very fond of the second prince."

Su Yi thought, this is strange. The second prince’s princess was her mother’s rival in love, and stabbed her father again. As a result, the father and mother still loved the second prince.

If you don't understand, you don't want to. Su Yi doesn't think he can figure out the brain circuits of the two big men in the palace.

Su Yi said: "You are like this, summer is too difficult."

Mu Yan slowly changed a bamboo chair to lie down. The bamboo chair he was lying on was wiped cool by cold water with ice cubes by his servant. When he lay down on a chair, he changed it back.

"Not really." Mu Yan said weakly, "Just wait until you get used to it."

Su Yi was a little distressed watching Mu Yan, who was always alive and laughing at Yan Yan, was making a ball. He thought for a while, and said, "I remember that my house has running water. I will make you a place to enjoy the shade. Although I don't know the effect, it is better than you are now."

This is too wasteful of ice, even if you buy saltpeter and make your own ice, it costs money.

Mu Yan nodded without hope.

He has asked many craftsmen how to take care of his old wounds while enjoying the cold. The craftsmen all said, Master Mu, you should go to the mountains to escape the heat.

If Mu Yan could go, would he still need it?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Su Yi was not talking empty words, he really had an idea.

Although there is no electricity now, it is impossible to make electric fans or air conditioners, but the ancients made many cooling devices that did not require electricity.

Now Mu Yan can barely sleep soundly at night, but uses a kind of "central air-conditioning" that does not require electricity, the cellar. That is, a deep well is dug in the center of the room, covered with a cover, and a hole is drilled in the cover, and the cool breeze blows out of the hole in summer.

However, to the extent that Mu Yan is afraid of heat, the cooling effect of this "central air-conditioning" is obviously not enough. So ice cubes are also placed indoors.

Another cool device commonly used by ancient nobles that Su Yi thought of was the pavilion.

That is to say, running water will be led to the roof to cause artificial rainfall to take away the heat. And the water flowing down from the roof can drive the hydraulic fan to automatically blow air into the house.

The effect of cooling off from the pavilion is good, but it will not make the room too shady and make Mu Yan feel uncomfortable.

It's just that the pavilion needs to lead water to a high place. Now that there is no pump, a large amount of running water is needed to drive the waterwheel.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of water in Beijing, and there is another groundwater in Su Yi's house that has been dug out and made a pond. Therefore, it is convenient to build a pavilion in the middle of the pool.

For ordinary rich people, the pavilion is too extravagant. But for aristocrats who own luxury homes with their own gardens, the pavilion is a relatively economical device for cooling down—at least it can save a lot of ice.

After Su Yi explained the general plan to the craftsman, the craftsman quickly rushed to build the pavilion day and night.

Only a pavilion for leisure was built in the center of the pool. Suyi did not have high requirements for the decoration of the pavilion, and it did not take long.

When Mu Yan was "driven" into the pavilion to enjoy the coolness by Su Yi, he felt that he had come back to life in an instant.

Then throughout the summer, he occupied the pavilion, not even returning home.

"My house doesn't have such a big pool." Mu Yan said shamelessly.

Su Yi frowned and said, "You can let your craftsman lead water from me."

Mu Yan said: "Why is it so troublesome? Anyway, you are the only one in your family, and my family is me alone. What's wrong with letting me live? Since the pavilion is not small, you want to live in a room."

Su Yi just wanted to complain, there are so many living people in the family, what is meant by "just one person". However, he thought, it seemed that it was impossible for the subordinate to live in the owner's house, so it seemed right to say so.

After that, he wanted to vomit again, my pavilion, what does it mean to divide me into a room? Who is the host and who is the guest?

However, the cheeky Mu Yan had turned to the guest, and let the people take his things to set up the pavilion.

Here is the study, here is the bedroom, here is used for eating, here you can also set up a table to play the piano against the flowing water.

Oh, it's really cozy.

From the pavilion, there is running water to take away the heat, and there are fans driven by water on all sides to supply air continuously for twelve hours in the house. It is too hot to put the ice bucket in front of the fan, and the fan comes in with cool breeze. Because the ice bucket is far away from the human body, Mu Yan's body will not feel uncomfortable either.

Mu Yan felt that this was the most pleasant summer he had ever had.

Although this pavilion was originally used for Mu Yan to escape the summer heat, but Mu Yan so consciously took it as his own, Su Yi still had the power to complain.

However, the ventilated self-pavilion on the ground is indeed much more comfortable than the underground cave room, and Su Yi also moved in.

Mu Yan really "leaved" a bedroom for Su Yi, and said that other rooms, even the study, could be shared with Su Yi. He didn't mind at all.

Su Yi couldn't laugh or cry.

At this time, should he say "Awesome, so touched"? Still beat Mu Yan?

The rejuvenated Mu Yan stood there for Su Yi to beat him up. Su Yi beat her Xiaofenquan so hard that she was so tired and panting. Mu Yan still looked confused and said, oh, you should eat more for recreation.

Su Yi was so angry that he vomited blood. Are you a military commander? Do you look down on me waiting for the frail and frail abandoned house?

The frail and frail abandoned house Su Yi said that he wanted to drive Mu Yan out.

So when Su Yi shook his fist again, Mu Yan screamed to escape with a very exaggerated expression.

Su Yi...Su Yi wanted to drive people out even more.

QAQ can't afford to hurt the abandoned house, anyhow he is also a grown man!

Mu Yan said that on the battlefield, when he had one enemy and one hundred, Su Yi's strength with his bare hands was nothing.

Well, all in all, still, don't care about this with the generals in the abandoned house, it will only hurt your glass heart.

Although Su Yi thanked the guests behind closed doors when she was at home, after a period of quiet, she was not completely silent.

After meeting the friends of Mu Yan, Su Yi occasionally received them.

It's just that Mu Yan is definitely there every time he receives friends. Mu Yan's friends were very upset.

Mu Yan was too interesting, and he didn't give them time to spend alone with Master Su Tian.

Mu Yan, go away. It would be nice to take you to see Kangle, but still want to be alone?

When they came to chat with Master Su the next day, they saw this peculiar self-pavilion, and they immediately said that they would go back and fix one for their own house.

Not to mention the effect of the pavilion, this kind of pavilion with its own rain view is too artistic and too compelling!

Mu Yan said with a proud look: "Kangle loves me, this pavilion was built for me by Kangle. I have already moved in."

This time even Hao Hao Wei Teng couldn’t help but complain to Mu Yan: “He Qing, you said that your ice cubes were given to you by Kangle, but now you say that the place to escape the summer heat is built by Kangle for you, why don’t you? Saying that you rely on recreation for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, let recreation support you?"

Mu Yan thought for a while, and said shamelessly: "Yude is reasonable, what about Kang Leyi?"

Su Yi didn't even think about it and said, "Get out!"
