Thousands of people dropped what they were doing and came together.
After Li Zhao waited for everyone to arrive, he said seriously: "Today, many people drank the water from the pond and had diarrhea. I don't want this to happen again."
"So, starting from this afternoon, no one is allowed to drink unboiled water without authorization..."
They didn't think there was any problem, after all, everyone was here this way.
Besides, this diarrhea is no big deal.
"Quiet!" Long Jia'an showed his dignity and roared, and everyone fell silent.
"Remember, this king is not negotiating with you, but giving orders!" Li Zhao knew that these villagers were not so particular. He also knew that the water in this era was not very polluted and was very clear.
However, you still need to have the necessary awareness of precautions.
This era is just like the 1980s and 1990s in my previous life. The pond is clear, so everything is done in the pond.
Laundry, vegetables, etc.
"If anyone doesn't comply, then don't work here."
When Li Zhao said these words, everyone immediately stopped talking.
Sure enough, money is the most important thing.
"Okay, let's eat early today!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone became happy again.
However, Li Zhao's face was still not good. So many problems have arisen just now. I really don't know how much effort it will take to build Jiaozhou?
Li Bin, Wu Diao Si, Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong have all arrived at Li Zhao's camp.
"Is Li Qingwei here?"
"Your Majesty, the servant is here!"
Li Qingwei is a fat man and the royal chef of the palace.
When Li Zhao came to Jiaozhou, the chefs from the palace also came with him.
They were all trained under Li Zhao and are now responsible for everyone's meals.
Li Qingwei was sweating profusely, panting, and his clothes were already soaked.
Li Zhao motioned for them all to sit down and said: "Starting from today, prepare twenty large barrels. If you don't have them, buy them or find someone to make them. Have boiling water ready for me at any time."
"Ah this?" Li Qingwei was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, why is this?"
"This is good for health!" Li Zhao found that they didn't understand, so he added: "Just do it. In short, everyone must drink boiled water from now on. This is an order!"
"Yes!" Li Qingwei knew Li Zhao's temper. When Li Zhao said this, he became impatient. He did not dare to contradict him.
"Your Majesty..." Li Bin said while wiping his sweat: "The weather is so hot now, I think many people can hardly bear it anymore..."
Li Zhao glanced over, almost all covered with sweat.
Xiaoqing and Xiaohong were no exception. Their clothes were already attached to their bodies. He felt fine because they were being taken care of.
"It would be nice if there was ice..."
"Are you talking in your sleep? Even aristocratic families can't buy ice now..."
Li Zhao asked calmly: "What's the price of ice outside now?"
"A piece of ice weighing one kilogram costs one tael of silver!"
"Pfft--" The water Li Zhao had just put into his mouth had already spurted out.
"One tael of silver?"
Everyone looked at Li Zhao in confusion.
Isn't this the most basic price?
This is not the hot season yet. If it gets hot, the price will still rise.
"Yes, everyone is scrambling for ice now. After a while, even if they are given half of the money, they may not be able to get it!" Wu Diaosi said.
In ancient times, there were no refrigerators. Ice was dug up and put into underground ice cellars after snowfall in previous winters.
Even if the insulation measures are good, when it is extremely hot, the amount of ice is already very small.
Therefore, the cost of ice is equally scarce in all countries.
The quotas available to the palace are also very few.
As for the ice left on the market, the price is astronomical.
Li Zhao wiped his saliva, his eyes shone with light, and he immediately said: "Wu Diao Si, go and buy some things for me. The more, the better!"
"yes!"
Everyone in the room looked at him with puzzled expressions. They had no idea what the prince wanted to do?
Soon, Wu Diao Temple bought what Li Zhao had written.
In order to prevent this group of people from heatstroke, Li Zhao forcibly ordered them to rest for an hour at noon before starting work.
Otherwise, if a person dies of heatstroke, he will suffer a big loss.
No one knows what Li Zhao wants to do when he buys a lot of weird things this time.
Until Li Zhao turned a basin of water into a basin of ice in front of all of them, as if by magic, the people in Li Zhao's inner circle were so frightened that they knelt on the ground on the spot.
"Master God has descended to earth..."
Wu Diao Si, Li Bin, Li Chong, Xiao Qing, Xiao Hong and the kitchen's imperial cook Li Qingwei all fell to the ground with a thud.
The way they looked at Li Zhao changed completely. They were in awe and refused to get up.
"You fucking get up..." Li Zhao said with a dark face, "This is..."
"Immortal magic? It must be immortal magic!" Wu Diao Si screamed.
Your sister’s magic, Li Zhao was speechless.
No wonder they were so shocked, and no blame they thought it was a magic trick. In fact, what Li Zhao did was a bit beyond their understanding.
Conjuring up ice cubes in the middle of summer is completely contrary to cognition.
Li Bin rushed out of the camp without saying a word. When Li Zhao looked confused, he roared: "Youwang guards have sealed off all areas. No one is allowed to approach the prince's camp. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
There was silence in the camp.
Li Zhao was stunned. He looked at the other people and found that they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
As if... it should be so?
This is just a piece of ice, right?
Li Bin shook hands with a long knife, and his eight-pack abs were so dazzling at this moment.
He looked at Wu Diao Si and others with a serious face, and the warning in his eyes was quite strong, as if to say, anyone who dares to leak the secret will be killed without mercy!
"It's not that, it's not that..." Li Zhao waved his hands and said, dumbfounded: "Everyone, get up, everyone, get up..."
Several people's legs were still a little weak, and their eyes were staring directly at the cold ice.
This is so unreal.
How is it possible to create ice in the middle of summer?
What is this if not an immortal?
No wonder the prince has become unpredictable recently. Could it be that he received guidance from an immortal?
Wu Diao Temple and others looked at each other and thought of this possibility at the same time.
Li Zhao clicked his tongue. This seemed to be a little different from what he had expected.
He touched his chin, looked at such a large basin of ice and said, "If I sell this piece of ice, how much will it cost?"
Wu Diao Si immediately stepped forward to weigh it and said: "At least three taels!"
Li Qingwei also tried it, and his fat belly took the opportunity to press against the edge of the wooden basin, and he almost screamed out from the coolness.
The two gave the same answer, because the pot weighed at least one kilogram.
According to today's market price, isn't it just three taels of silver?
Li Zhao immediately waved to them and said, "Go and inquire today to see what is going on in Jiaozhou!"
"What does the prince mean...want to sell ice?" The fat chef immediately understood.
