"Yes!" Li Zhao had nothing to hide and said, "But whether this ice can be sold..."
"Definitely!"
Wu Diao Temple gave an affirmative answer.
"Why?"
"Because the servant and Long Carpenter heard the news when they went out to buy things." Wu Diao Si said seriously: "Not just Jiaozhou, now the entire Wu Kingdom... and even the other three countries are asking for ice, but How can there be so much ice?"
"The Zhou Kingdom in the west also has the greatest demand for ice, comparable to the You Kingdom in the south."
Hearing what Wu Diao Si said, Li Zhao's eyes immediately lit up.
This is a good opportunity.
You're a bastard if you don't make money.
Li Zhao immediately began to ponder, but he still had to test the waters first.
"If Bing's business is good...then I might as well become a hands-off shopkeeper!" Li Zhao couldn't help but think.
Although he has overthrown the Du family with force, he has also ransacked the house unreasonably.
But Li Zhao knew that huge trouble was waiting for him, and maybe in half a month these people would start to surround him.
With their abilities, it's really not that difficult to defeat a good-for-nothing prince.
The energy of aristocratic families is far stronger than they appear.
Otherwise, a hero like Emperor Wu would not be so distressed and fearful.
"Wu Diao Si, find a reliable person... and try selling ice!" Li Zhao immediately had an idea.
Although he still has assets now, he will definitely spend money like water in the future, and no one will dislike having more money.
Moreover, he must prepare for the next revenge of the aristocratic family.
Everyone wants money.
Where does the money come from?
Li Zhao immediately said: "Mian Mo, I want to write a memorial to my father!"
Everyone was in awe and immediately retreated.
They know this is a big deal.
Li Zhao didn't want these people to become a constraint for him, so the best way was to drag everyone into the water.
The ice business was inherently profitable, but if he was the only one doing it, he was sure that it would be a mess.
The reason why the Du family was able to be wiped out quickly was simply because everyone was caught off guard.
If you ask him to do it again, he will definitely not be able to do it.
Not only that, he might be killed by the family's counterattack.
Li Zhao began to write a memorial, which only needed to reach Emperor Wu at the critical moment.
With Emperor Wu's ability, he wouldn't be unaware of his intentions.
Since all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are short of money, then I will take you to do business together. It depends on whether you want money or whether you want to kill me, Li Zhao?
After Li Zhao finished writing the memorial, he immediately asked people to hurry up and take it to Kyoto.
"Your Majesty, you are ready."
Li Qingwei came in sweating profusely and his whole body was wet.
"Walk!"
Li Zhao immediately took the things to the kitchen area. There was a large wooden barrel, and the Houttuynia Cordata tea was poured into it.
Although this tea has a strange smell, it is a rare herbal tea and a good tea.
Especially in the summer, it removes the smell and heat, and is very comfortable.
The tea soup is boiling and steaming.
"When the time comes, we will build a pergola over there, one for boiled water and one for Houttuynia cordata tea!" Li Zhao said: "We will arrange for someone to make ice later, break the ice cubes and put them in a big basin."
Li Qingwei was startled and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness plans to use ice for them all?"
"It's not for them, it's for everyone!" Li Zhao said: "The weather is so hot, we can't let people die in the sun. Besides, this little ice is not worth anything."
"Your Highness..."
"Just do as I say." Li Zhao didn't feel bad. In his eyes, Bing was worthless.
Besides, money is not as important as anyone.
As long as he gathers this group of people, how much money will he need in the future?
Although today's weather is not as violent as in later generations, it is still 31 or 2 degrees.
Fortunately, there are no high-rise buildings here, and it is close to mountains, forests and rivers, so there are also gusts of wind.
They were sweating profusely, but their faces were filled with indescribable satisfaction and satisfaction. Those who had eaten yesterday had a look of pride and pride on their faces, because they had pretended to do it.
However, they were still frightened when they saw Li Zhao personally bringing out the ice.
Everyone's eyes froze as they looked at the ice cubes braving the freezing air.
"Why are you still standing there?" Li Bin smiled and scolded: "Old Long, come here."
Long Jiaan came to Li Bin like a walking zombie, and saw Li Bin put a bamboo tube of crushed ice in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, seeing that the weather is too hot, he is also afraid that everyone will suffer from heat stroke... so he spends money I bought some ice and gave it to everyone."
"Come on, come on, everyone is queuing up to get it!"
"Everyone, come and line up!" Xiaoqing and Xiaohong also came out to help.
"Really? Is there any ice?"
"Oh my god, is the prince crazy?"
"Ice cubes are very expensive nowadays. I heard that one kilogram costs 1,500 yuan."
Hot summer day.
Some came in a hurry and didn't even understand what was going on.
The weather was so hot that they felt like they were going to be burned to death.
But as honest people, no one complained. After all, the wages paid by King You were really high.
As long as we work hard, everyone's life will get better soon.
When the people in front received the ice, many people were unaware of the situation. When they found out about the situation, they were so frightened that they almost dislocated their jaws.
Even if people are closed off, everyone still knows that ice is really expensive.
This is something that only noble men can enjoy. Everyone is not qualified to enjoy it, and the possibility of even seeing it is very small.
"real or fake?"
"Hehe...it's true!" Wu Xiaowu, with the puppy behind him, held a bamboo tube in both hands and showed it to the people in line with a look of rare treasure on his face.
Those who were waiting in line at the back stared straight-eyed when they saw the white ice.
"Dear me, is it really ice?"
"That's not true!" Wu Xiaowu said with a proud look on his face: "This is something that the prince, the old man, feels sorry for everyone and spent a lot of money to buy it to cool everyone down..."
Everyone was moved.
They really don't like Mr. Guiren, and they all think that Mr. Guiren is a bad guy.
However, this prince is really different.
He is really willing to give it up!
"Oh...it's a pity, it's such a waste..."
When they heard that Li Zhao actually spent a lot of money to buy ice for them, all the honest men immediately lifted their chests and stamped their feet with regret on their faces.
"Yeah...this piece of ice costs at least one tael of silver..."
Everyone is very distressed.
A little more than one tael of silver is the wages of hundreds of people.
The ice cools for a while and then melts.
Isn't this a waste of money?
"No, the prince is such a kind person, but I dare not let him spend so much money... It's not like we can't bear it!"
There are still many honest men, and Li Bin's method of winning people's hearts has worked quietly.
Li Zhao could treat the villagers unscrupulously, but he was different. He was first Li Zhao's personal guard commander, then Li Zhao's subordinate, and finally an ordinary person.
It is true that he likes these simple villagers very much, but that does not mean that he wants nothing.
The prince was not taken seriously enough in the first place, and he was thrown into Jiaozhou with such a harsh environment. If he cannot even capture the hearts of the people, how miserable will it be in the future?
Therefore, not only Li Bin is talking, but Wu Diao Si, Li Qingwei, Xiao Qing, and Xiao Hong are also talking.
They just want this group of people to know who is really good to them?
This group of people must also know that Li Zhao is very willing to do it for them.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
The heads of the major villages gathered together, and they, a group of simple and unpretentious people, were deeply moved.
But they are better at living than Li Zhao, and they know better how difficult it is to save money.
Even if you are a prince, you should not spend so much money.
