There is no wind in Yujing City at noon.

The whole city seemed to be in the furnace of this world, silently accepting the scorching sun, and even the cicadas on the tree seemed to be exhausted and lazy.

Even the Huaxi Villa located by Huanhua Creek is difficult to survive in the rolling heat waves at this time.

Even the cicadas on the trees were chirping one or two occasional sounds left.

As a result, this huge villa became quieter.

Li Chenan and Zhongli Ruoshui have returned from the Old Rain Tower. After lunch, they returned to their own rooms. They wanted to take a break, but Li Chenan realized that even the mat on the bed was warm.

So he got up, sat in front of the window with a folding fan shaking.

Opposite is Zhongli Ruoshui's boudoir.

The window on the second floor of the boudoir was open, and the curtains were not pulled up due to the heat. Li Chenan looked at him with anticipation, but he could not see the vivid and fragrant scene he imagined.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the bookshelf against the wall of the room. After thinking about it, he walked over and took a random book from the bookshelf. He felt that his heart was not peaceful, so he put it back and sat in front of the window.

Still waving the fan and looking at the window opposite, he was thinking about something else in his mind.

I don’t know if Ye Po has recruited experts from the world these days.

Seeing that it was the fifth day of the eighth month, the autumn grains in various parts of Jiangnan had entered the harvest season, and Cai Zhengyao had already gone to Jiangnan, and the grain prices in Jiangnan should have been stir-fried up by him.

Will Shen Qiaodie, the Shen family who wants her own life, eat up the high-priced grain?

Can Ye Po successfully intercept the food she ate?

Then he was sent to Shuzhou through the cover of Guangling Navy in Linshuicheng?

That’s right, his plan is to send grain from Jiangnan to Shuzhou.

Since Mrs. Fan is planning to build Shuzhou, she must build that place as solid as a solid foundation. She still does not know the specific measures of Mrs. Fan in Shuzhou, but with her wisdom, she will definitely establish a private army in Shuzhou that belongs to Zhongli Mansion.

Otherwise, she would not have let Huang Sanlie's former subordinates go to Shuzhou and even occupied two tribes.

Building an army requires a lot of food.

The center of his winery will be Shuzhou, because that place will be safer in the troubled times.

So he did not expand his scale at the winery by Taohua Creek.

Another thing is about Reijingsi.

Based on the time, the disciples of Wanxizhai should also arrive in Guangling City.

I don’t know how many people came, but Xiao Shisanniang said that there should be 180 people, so that there will be more than 100 masters in the martial arts world, but it is still not enough.

Take it step by step, this kind of thing is ultimately unhurried.

Now the important thing is to make money.

There are several opportunities to make a lot of money next.

The first is sucrose. This thing can be sold at an excellent price after it is made, because malt sugar in this world is more expensive, so this white sugar will of course be even more expensive.

The second is salt!

Huo Chuanming would let his confidants control the salt and iron department of Guanglingzhou, and he would get the salt ingot from him. With the salt ingot, he would buy the green salt in large quantities and then process it into white salt, which would bring him huge profits.

The third is iron... This thing can only be bought, not sold.

Because of the need of his Li family army, and after the relationship with Zhongli Ruoshui was determined, Zhongli Mansion would also need it in large quantities.

That's all for the time being. If it is operated well, these things will be able to support the construction of the future army.

It would be better if these things could be sold to other countries. But now I have not fully understood Ningguo, so I will talk about other countries later.

Thinking of these things, Li Chenan put down the folding fan, ground the ink from the inkstone, picked up the pen and started writing letters.

He spent an hour writing four letters.

One letter was for the family, I would like to report safety and say hello to you, but I didn't say much else.

One letter was for Ye Po, and this letter talked a lot because the matter of grain in Jiangnan is extremely important.

One letter was given to Xiao Shisanniang, which was to ask the disciples of Wanxizhai about their affairs and their arrangements and suggestions.

The last letter was for Huang Sanlie. This letter took the longest time because he needed Huang Sanlie to start building a sugarcane pressing workshop and a green salt refining workshop.

These two things were originally not available in this world, so he also drew many sketches so that Huang Sanlie could understand more.

After writing these four letters, it was still very hot. Li Chenan put down his pen, wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the fan and fanned it, and then he felt that he should make the ice thing out.

When he thought of Bing, his eyes lit up because this thing was not complicated.

There is already fire and medicine in this world, and then saltpeter is there. With saltpeter, the ice is easy to make.

I'll ask if there is any saltpeter sold in Zhongli Ruoshui market.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and there was still no Zhongli Ruoshui in the window opposite, and she should be still sleeping.

So Li Chenan shook his fan downstairs, wandered alone in this huge villa, and came to another small courtyard not far from the main courtyard.

The door of this courtyard is open.

He walked in and met an acquaintance - Xiong Da!

Xiong Da sharpened his knife in the shade of the yard.

His back was covered in sweat, and he turned around, his face covered in sweat.

He stood up in surprise, picked up a sweat towel from the side and wiped his face, and smiled: "Young Master, why are you here on this hot day?"

"What are you doing when you sharpen your knife on this hot day?"

"Hehe, this knife is not sharp enough. If you want to kill someone and set fire, wouldn't you have to prepare earlier?"

Look, this is the quality of being a veteran.

After returning to Guangling City, I had to find a way to get all these veterans into my Li family army.

It’s not that they expect them to charge on the battlefield again, but that they want to let their gangs of new recruits learn the spirit of their spirit.

"Come on, come on, help the young master do something first."

Xiong Da put down the knife in his hand, picked up the short jacket placed beside him and put it on his body, and asked happily: "Young Master, what's the matter?"

"Take me to the cottage."

Xiong Da was stunned, "...Young Master, this is the cottage for the servants. Isn't there a main courtyard?"

"What are you thinking? The young master goes to the cottage to find something."

Xiong Da was even more confused, his eyes widened. He swallowed and hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself what else could be found in the cottage besides that thing?

"Don't think about it! Let's take the young master and you will know."

So Xiong Da took Li Chenan to the cottage not far away.

When the two arrived at the cottage, Li Chenan squatted outside the cottage and carefully. After a moment, in Xiong Da's shocked sight, he reached out to touch the corner of the wall, then placed it in front of his nose and smelled it...

At this moment, a person came out of the thatched cottage.

He was Zhou Huairen, and he also stood behind Li Chenan in surprise, looked at Xiong Da, and then saw Li Chenan standing up, "That's all!"

Li Chenan stretched out a hand, with a little white powder on his fingertips.

"There should be more inside. Master, I want this thing. You send someone to collect more and then send it to the main courtyard."

Zhou Huairen took a closer look and asked in confusion: "Young Master, what are you doing in this thing?"

"Hehe," Li Chenan grinned, "Young Master will make you ice!"

Xiong Da's thick lips squirmed for a moment, but he stopped talking.

He felt that Mr. Li was probably having some brain problems.

In this hot day, he is not a god, how could he turn into ice?
Chapter completed!
