After traveling to ancient times, I relied on my husband to win

Before leaving, Jiang Zhi was sleeping in the house. Who could blame her for being sleepy in spring and tired in summer? Qin Yan was afraid that Jiang Zhi would wake up from the heat and have a restless sleep, so he moved a large piece of ice, put it in a basin and put it on a shelf, and called a little maid to fan Jiang Zhi with a fan facing her.

Jiang Zhi felt the cool breeze and exclaimed, this is simply the ancient version of air conditioning.

Jiang Zhi was lying comfortably on the bed and sleeping. When Qin Yan asked her if she wanted to go to the palace with him, Jiang Zhi refused without hesitation.

"No, the sun outside is going to burn me to death. It's so cool here, I don't want to go out at all. Why don't you go? It's not that I have to go, and I'm pregnant~"

Qin Yan just wanted to ask Jiang Zhi if she wanted to go out for a walk, but seeing her aggrieved and somewhat complaining look, he knew that she had misunderstood him, and he didn't want his wife to be exposed.

"Okay, I'm just asking you if you want to go out for a walk. If you don't, just stay home and wait for me to come back. Also, you can't eat any ice cream today. Don't eat it when I'm not home. If I find out, you won't have any ice cream tomorrow."

Her little thoughts were discovered, and Jiang Zhi lay dejectedly on the bed, rubbing her fingers on the sheets.

"What? Why do you think so much of me? I won't cheat on you."

Humph, how annoying, I’ve been discovered, ahhhh, I’m so angry!

How could Qin Yan not understand Jiang Zhi? She must not know what to say about herself in her heart. He didn't care and rubbed her head.

"Be good, take a nap and I'll be back soon. Make sure you cover your belly with a blanket when you sleep, otherwise you'll catch a cold."

"I know, I know. Go away. I want to sleep."

Without ice to eat, Jiang Zhi decided to go to sleep first and think about it after waking up.

Qin Yan also hurried to the palace, going early and returning early, trying to come back early to accompany his wife.

imperial study room

The emperor was reviewing memorials and wrote "I understand" on the back of this one.

As he picked up the next book and started reading, Li Dequan came over in small steps and reported, "Your Majesty, the man from Qin County wants to see you."

"Oh? Why is Qin kid here? Let him in."

After replying with one sentence, he continued to review memorials.

Qin Yan brought his people in, put the things away, and several eunuchs left.

"Greetings to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"

"Stand up, Qin boy, you haven't been here for a while. What good stuff have you researched and sent to me? Let me see it."

After Qin Yan finished his ceremony, he walked to the side and found a chair to sit on. The emperor did not stop his actions. Ever since Qin Yan invented the gunpowder, Qin Yan's position in the emperor's heart was second only to the crown prince.

Qin Yan's talent must be put to good use. If he runs away to other places, he will be a threat to Dongwu.

"Oh, it's not a good thing either. The emperor has some too."

This sentence aroused the emperor's interest, "Oh? Qin boy, what did you make in my palace and you want to give it to me?"

"Your Majesty will know once you take a look. It is a good thing. Then please trouble Eunuch Li to open this jar personally, and the surprise will be revealed naturally."

Li Dequan subconsciously asked the emperor for instructions, and the emperor nodded at him, "Li Dequan, go and take a look. I want to see what this kid is up to."

"Yes!" Li Dequan received the emperor's order and smiled back at Qin Yan.

"I also want to know what Qinxiannan brought today, so let me take a look at what it is first."

"Please!" Qin Yan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation. He also stood up and watched from the side.

Li Dequan opened the lid carefully, and before he looked at what was inside, he felt a cool breeze emanating from it.

When I opened the lid and saw the ice inside, I was surprised for a moment, but then I calmed down.

Taking a few steps back, the emperor could also see it. The emperor was also confused, "Qin boy, why did you bring me a jar of ice?"

Qin Yan looked towards the side of the dragon throne, and saw a little eunuch who was kneeling and fanning the ice basin with a fan. He took a look and then looked away.

"I just made this ice a few days ago. I was afraid the emperor might not have enough, so I sent some over."

The emperor nodded, and then realized what he said?

Li Dequan also looked at Qin Yan in shock, and the young eunuch serving in the room also glanced in Qin Yan's direction vaguely.

"Are you saying you did this yourself?" The emperor asked again, still unconvinced.

"Yes! I asked someone to do it the day before yesterday."

Qin Yan was much calmer.

“Hehe, but the boy works slowly and there are not many people, so he comes to see the emperor.”

The emperor was now much calmer. He looked at Qin Yan in confusion, not sure what this boy was going to do.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"That's right. I'm here to do nothing but offer a solution to the emperor. But you have to give me a share of the ice you make. After all, I came up with the solution, so it's not too much to ask for it."

The emperor looked at Qin Yan who was scheming, but he couldn't do anything about him. Although there were ice blocks in the palace, they were all stored in the winter. All the ice was used by the emperor first. The ladies in the harem and the princes had a limited amount of ice, and they used it sparingly in the summer.

He knew that Qin Yan would definitely want more than just a little, but this was a sure win, "Okay, I agree, find someone from the Ministry of Works to do it yourself."

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll go right away."

Qin Yan took Bing to the Ministry of Industry, let them see the results first, and then told them how to do it.

The people in the Ministry of Industry are almost deifying Qin Yan. The miracles created by the Ministry of Industry in the past six months can be recorded in history. Now, Qin Yan's words are revered as a guiding light.

Without saying a word, some people started looking for jars to boil water, while others went to the Ministry of Revenue to ask for the location of the well and the use of the moat.

The Ministry of Revenue has long disliked the Ministry of Works, and it should be that the other four ministries all disliked the Ministry of Works, mainly because Qin Yan led his ministry to fail, and the others could only be helpless and furious.

They also asked Qin Yan behind their backs whether he wanted to go and take a look at their situation, but Qin Yan didn't understand what was going on so he didn't go. However, he did give the Ministry of Justice a few ideas.

Specifically, they were taught and introduced to the ten most cruel tortures. When the people in the Ministry of Justice saw these things, they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They told them to try all of them, as they were all good things.

I heard that there were continuous roars from the Ministry of Justice that day, and everyone passing by hurried back home.

In the end, the people from the Ministry of Revenue had to accompany them to see what they were going to do before they gave in.

Qin Yan led them to do it once, then let them do it on their own and he went back.

When the people from the Ministry of Revenue saw the ice that Qin Yan brought, they started calculating and quickly went to find the emperor. They thought that they could start a business selling ice cubes to fill the national treasury.

The emperor readily agreed, but the Ministry of Works was miserable because the Ministry of Revenue harassed them every day with excuses.
