After Chen Ke drew a line on the wood, the craftsman observed it carefully.
Dong Guoqu looked confused: "Young Master, what are you planning to do?"
"I really can't understand it, little guy."
Chen Ke stood up, glanced at him, and yawned: "What do you care about him?"
"Just do as I say."
After saying that, Chen Ke walked out.
It's summer now, and the scorching heat is really unpleasant.
But in Daqin, there are no air conditioners or fans, only artificial fans.
And in most cases not yet.
You can't expect this maid to follow you at any time. When you walk to the street, she will also fan you, right?
What's more, this is not the most painful thing.
The most painful thing is that even if the weather is hot, the clothes of ancient people are even more unpleasant.
Very thick.
Chen Ke often worries that he will get prickly heat from being covered.
He scratched his head.
Now that the matter has come to this, he has to talk to Brother Zheng so that things like stone-dissolving ice can appear as soon as possible. 【Note 1】
Although stone dispersion is not very common, compared with ice cubes on a hot summer day, the consumption of stone dispersion is still acceptable.
Thinking of this, Chen Ke walked directly towards the palace.

Shangdang County
Zeng Lu had a look of regret on his face. He already knew the whole story from the moment he heard the news of Shi Xuanni's assassination.
Is it really the so-called people from the Six Kingdoms who want to assassinate him?
Maybe not?
Although the traitors from the Six Kingdoms may have sent people, the person who assassinated Shi Xuanni at this time was in public, and the person was assassinated while Shi Xuanni was distributing the land.
He will definitely not be a traitor to the Six Kingdoms.
It could only be someone arranged by Shi Xuanni himself.
Zeng Lu shook her head and said generously: "It seems that I am still too soft-hearted."
He stood up abruptly, with a solemn expression and a bit of righteousness.
"Someone is coming."
"The rebels of the Six Kingdoms assassinated the governor of Sanchuan County, which is an unforgivable crime!"
"Your Majesty has issued an imperial edict to search for the traitors of the Six Nations in all the territories of Great Qin!"
"Send the order and have someone post a notice at the city gate to inform all the people of Shangdang County."
"Anyone who harbors traitors from the Six Kingdoms will be punished!"
"Anyone who reports and takes in the traitors from the six countries will be heavily rewarded!"
At the same time, it’s not just Shangdang County.
Meng Qiu from Hedong County also gave the order with a surprised look on his face. His instructions were no different from Zeng Lu.
However, Meng Qiu was not surprised by Shi Xuanni's ruthlessness, but was surprised by his decisiveness.
The person he arranged will assassinate him in two days.
But at this time, it was obvious that the initial wind was no longer needed.
The excuse was there, they just had to climb the ladder.
And this is not a good thing for Meng Qiu.
Because he wanted to make achievements and let Chen Ke, the young master in Xianyang City, know that he was also a capable person.
But at this time, things backfired.
After Meng Qiu finished instructing the people below, he let out a long sigh, with helplessness in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that Shi Xuanni would take the lead."
"But next time, it won't necessarily be."
He smiled slightly and casually ordered the people he had arranged before.
"This person always laughs at the end, and then he laughs the happiest."
"What's the point of half-laughing?"

Zhangtai Palace
Ying Zheng was sitting in the main hall. The main hall was slightly cooler than outside, but it also made Ying Zheng a little sleepy.
He has a much harsher summer than ordinary people, and it is precisely because of this that he spends most summers touring the south.
The reason is that the weather in the south is slightly better than in the north.
Living by the sea or lake will be cooler than living inland.
Han Tan on the side saw this and immediately waved his hand, asking someone to bring some ice cubes again.
People during this period had learned to store ice cubes in ice cellars.
Ying Zheng just asked indifferently: "How much ice is left this year?"
Han Tan lowered his head with respect in his voice.
"Your Majesty, there is still a lot of ice in the ice cellar, but..."
He whispered: "This summer seems to be a little hotter than previous years. Although it is enough for Your Majesty, the nobles in the palace..."
The meaning is very simple.
This summer is hotter than in previous years, and all the ice cubes must first ensure the emperor's welcome.
The other people in the palace can only use less.
Ying Zheng held his forehead and pressed it: "The ice cubes on Fusu and Hu Hai's side are still there, no need to reduce them."
"For the rest of the people, just follow the arrangements."
Ying Zheng did not pay much attention to women, and most of the concubines in his harem were sent to his harem when the Six Kingdoms were defeated.
He doesn't care much either.
"Here."
After a while, the servant outside the door reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Young Master Chen Ke wishes to see you."
Chen Ke?
Ying Zheng raised his head sadly, having been tortured by Xia Tian and had no strength left.
He almost wanted to continue his southern tour.
But now, they are forcing the people of the six countries to jump over the wall. It is not suitable to go out, otherwise it will be a bit dangerous.
Although he is not afraid, why would he cause trouble for himself out of thin air?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng was stunned.
its not right.
Shouldn't this be Chen Ke's idea?
He laughed dumbly. Could it be that he was inadvertently infected by Chen Ke?
This is really bad for those who are close to the ink.
"Okay, let him in."
As Ying Zheng finished speaking, there was a soft response outside the door.
After a while, Chen Ke walked in.
As soon as Chen Ke walked into the hall, he felt a burst of cold air blowing against his face, instantly feeling cool and comfortable.
He chuckled: "Your Majesty, it's quite comfortable here. There are so many ice cubes."
"It's much better than the Manufacturing Department."
Ying Zheng glanced at him and casually ordered Han Tan: "Han Tan, go and deliver some ice to this guy's mansion later."
"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"
"Lest this kid spread out and say that I abused him, I wouldn't even give him an ice cream."
Han Tan was a little hesitant. If he was giving some ice to the young master, the ice in the palace...
But it’s really not enough.
But he did not dare to refute the emperor's words and immediately said: "Here."
But at this time, Chen Ke laughed loudly and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need."
"If you think about it, there will be a lot of ice there."
He whispered: "Your Majesty, do you still remember what happened when I demonstrated the rules to your Majesty?"
Demonstration rules?
Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean, melting rocks to make ice?"
Chen Ke nodded: "Not bad."
"Your Majesty, it is not uncommon to lose stone, so using it to make ice in the summer is an option."
"This is the first thing I will do when I come here today."
He opened his mouth and smiled slightly: "Who in the world can endure such a hot summer?"
"Especially those rich nobles and merchants."
"Although I, Da Qin, are not short of money now, if we can fill His Majesty's treasury, why not do this?"
