Dominate the ancient academy

Now helping the emperor of Daning to make money can be considered a contribution to Daning.

"I know who to look for as a backer. I'm going to Dingbei Marquis Mansion. Do you want to go?"

Dingbei Marquis Mansion! Su Shiche immediately reacted: "You want to cooperate with Prince Yun, Prince Yun's status is indeed noble enough."

Su Shiche nodded and said he agreed. Prince Su had the emperor's support. If he also participated in selling ice cream, the old foxes in Kyoto would really have to restrain themselves.

"I'm not looking for Senior Brother Yun, I'm just looking for Senior Brother Yun to make a connection. I'm sure Guan Qing is right. The profit of this ice is too big. We can't afford it, so I decided to find the one with the highest status."

Shu Xiaoxiao pointed upwards.

"When the time comes, I'll see who dares to reach out!" Shu Xiaoxiao said with bared teeth.

Su Shiche hesitantly pointed in the direction of the palace: "The tallest one?"

Shen Guanqing, Zhou Hekang and Cao Yixing also had surprised expressions.

"Yes, if you are looking for a backer, you must find the best one. Otherwise, what will you do if you can't compete?"

Shen Guanqing, Zhou Hekang, Cao Yixing:......

Thumbs up! This is the highest support in Daning, absolutely no one can compare.

According to the current situation in the court, I believe that the emperor will not give up such a profitable business. If they ask the emperor for help, others will be jealous of Bing's huge profits but will not dare to take advantage of it. Ye Xiao is sure to win this time!

"Do you want to go with me?" Shu Xiaoxiao asked.

"We won't go. You have a good relationship with Prince Yun. Go ahead. We'll wait for your good news."

As everyone knows, Prince Yun is very gentle to Ye Xiao. Not only does he take good care of her in the academy, he also takes Ye Xiao with him to Kyoto. But they are not Ye Xiao. Facing Prince Yun's cold eyes, they are afraid and decide not to bother him.

Now the room is full of ice, cool, and there are endless cold drinks, how comfortable! They simply waited for Ye Xiao to come back in the general's mansion.

Shu Xiaoxiao took the remaining saltpeter to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

With the jade pendant given by Yun Qinghan, Shu Xiaoxiao went straight into the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion. The servants inside were also very respectful. This was the only young master that the prince had told could enter the mansion without notifying anyone.

Yun Qinghan was a little surprised to see Shu Xiaoxiao coming. Based on the tormented look on Ye Xiao's face when he was looking at the painting yesterday, he thought Ye Xiao was going to hide from him for two days. He didn't expect that he would come today.

The little one he likes can always give him surprises!

The first thing Shu Xiaoxiao did when she saw Yun Qinghan was to look for the ice basin in his room. Only then did she discover that what was in Senior Brother Yun’s room was not an ice basin, but a box that looked like a tripod.

There are handles on both sides of the box and a cover on the top with double coin holes, which can be used for picking hands and also as a vent for cold air. This should be the ice jar of ancient times.

If nothing else, the shape makes it look very valuable and expensive. Anyway, ice basins are used in the general's mansion. It seems that Senior Brother Ye is indeed very favored. There should not be many ice jars in Daning.

Seeing that Shu Xiaoxiao was very interested in the ice jar, Yun Qinghan even asked Huo Feng to open the lid for her to check.

Huo Feng showed off as he opened it: "This ice jar was specially given to the prince by the emperor. Not only is it beautifully shaped, but the ice inside can also last longer."

You can feel the cool air when standing next to the ice jar. It is a bit like a modern refrigerator, with some fruits inside. The ice melts much slower than in the ice basin.

There is still a little bit of ice left inside, probably because Fuli Village does not have much ice stored.

Shu Xiaoxiao deliberately said: "The ice is almost gone, why don't you add more ice?"

Huo Feng: "Master Ye, you really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are! The ice inside can last for some time. Ice is so rare nowadays that even the palace dare not waste it like this."

Shu Xiaoxiao chuckled: "Go, get some basins and some buckets of water. I'll let you use ice freely today. You can use as much ice as you want today."

Huo Feng was surprised: "Really?"

"When did I ever brag?" Shu Xiaoxiao asked back.

So Huo Feng went to prepare things quickly. Although Young Master Ye would trick him into doing this and that, he was indeed not a big talker.

And it's ice! Ice is so precious nowadays. If he uses ice freely, he will drink some ice water first because it's too hot.

Huo Feng looked at the ice in the basin and widened his eyes in surprise. Is it so easy to make ice?

The two of them got two basins of ice, filled the ice jars, and chilled a few glasses of fruit drinks. Shu Xiaoxiao began to talk about her original plan while drinking.

Yun Qinghan naturally knew the current price of ice, and saltpeter could be reused, so it was indeed a good business with no capital required.

"Luckily you knew to come to me. Now a palm-sized piece of ice costs about one tael of silver, and ice is extremely difficult to preserve. If you were to impulsively sell the ice yourself, you would definitely have countless troubles, and you would definitely not be able to afford it."

Yun Qinghan was just about to praise him when he noticed that Ye Xiao's face was getting paler and paler, and he was almost unable to stand as he held his stomach.

Yun Qinghan was startled and quickly picked up Shu Xiaoxiao: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Huo Feng, go get Doctor Zhang!"

Huo Feng was also startled. When he heard the prince's order, he rushed out.

Yun Qinghan put Shu Xiaoxiao on the soft couch in the room, feeling anxious and angry. Everyone in Kyoto knew that Ye Xiao was his man, yet he dared to poison him. This showed that he didn't take him seriously!

Seeing Ye Xiao getting more and more uncomfortable and sweating, Yun Qinghan immediately comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoxiao, hold on. Doctor Zhang of the Imperial Hospital is the best doctor, and he will be fine."

Shu Xiaoxiao felt her stomach hurt more and more, as if a knife was stabbing inside her. It was too painful. Seeing Senior Brother Yun's worried look, Shu Xiaoxiao felt very aggrieved. With tears in her eyes, she whispered, "Senior Brother Yun, my stomach... hurts."

Seeing his usually lively junior fellow suddenly unable to speak due to the pain, Yun Qinghan became even angrier and said coldly, "Go check. I want to see who dares to touch my people."

"Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed in the room. Under normal circumstances, Shu Xiaoxiao would definitely be curious whether the black shadow just now was the legendary shadow guard, but her stomach hurt so much now that she didn't even dare to breathe hard.

The people from the Imperial Hospital were also shocked when they saw Huo Feng hurriedly carrying Doctor Zhang and running away. Guard Huo was the personal bodyguard of Prince Yun, and why was he in such a hurry? Could something have happened to Prince Yun?

Doctor Zhang, who has the best medical skills, has been taken away. They, they have to report to the emperor quickly!

Emperor Jingming had been feeling a little relieved in the past few days because the treasury had money from selling salt. He was suddenly shocked to hear that something had happened to Prince Yun.

He left the Duke of Zhenguo who was in a meeting and went to the Marquis of Dingbei's Mansion. Everyone in the palace knew that Prince Yun was raised by the Emperor himself and was favored more than the princes. Now that Prince Yun was in trouble, no one stopped him and he quickly went to the Marquis of Dingbei's Mansion.

Seeing the emperor's anxious look, the Duke of Zhenguo thought about it and followed him to the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion. He was the emperor's confidant and was in charge of salt. He has now confirmed that there is indeed a large amount of salt in the sea. After filtering, the salt does not have any toxicity to the human body.

Now he has produced a large amount of table salt, and is waiting to discuss with the emperor to replace the coarse salt from Daning with non-toxic fine salt.

I heard that this fine salt is related to Prince Yun. This salt is good for the country and the people. As an official in charge of salt, he should also thank Prince Yun.

And since Prince Yun is in trouble, he goes to see if he can help.
