When the saltpeter came into contact with water, it would absorb a large amount of heat. The temperature of the water in the tank would drop rapidly, causing the water temperature in the basin to drop rapidly, turning it into ice.
This was the simplest principle of making ice.
However, if Ying Che didn't teach them, Wang Ben and the others would never know.
Now, in the middle of April, water could be turned into ice so easily.
The soldiers were dumbfounded.
It was done just like that?
Was it that magical?
Then, they thought of how simple this ice-making method was. They could use it when they went back.
Then, there would be ice in the summer?
For a moment, the eyes of the soldiers, who were drenched in sweat and had pale lips and pale faces, shone brightly.
They looked at Purple Dress with sincere gratitude.
In this era, the transmission of such skills could already be considered a great favor.
As for Wang Ben, the shock in his eyes was replaced by joy.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he suppressed the joy in his heart and put away the joy on his face.
"Mission accomplished, boys. Pack your things and retreat!"”
Then, he turned to look at Ying Che and shouted,"
"Thirteenth Young Master, I didn't ask you to learn how to make ice!”
"You beg us to work, and we learn something. This is very fair!”
"Don't think that I'll support you just because I learned how to make ice from you!”
"It is a matter of principle for the army not to participate in the matters between young masters!”
"Moreover, your ice making skill can't solve anything big. It's nothing at all. Don't take it too seriously!”
"I, Old Wang, am leaving!"
Ying Che did not even bat an eyelid after Wang Ben explained, he was still humming under the influence of Qing Yi's top-notch technique.
On the other hand, Wang Ben shouted a few times against his conscience, and ended his shameless act of teaching Ice.
The team had just left the residence.
Wang Ben stopped pretending and waved his hand,
"Men!"
"Send a logistics team to collect saltpeter from the North Mountain. Our camp will have ice in the summer, hahahaha!”
"General, didn't you say you didn't like the ice made by the Thirteenth Young Master?”A blind deputy general asked.
"Bullshit! How many lives can this ice save in my army?!
In the summer camp, there were so many brothers who suffered from heatstroke, and those who were poisoned by rotten food. How much pain could this ice relieve?
My men have been working hard all day. If they could return to the military camp and enjoy an ice room and drink a mouthful of iced plum soup, what would it feel like?!
I'm f * cking stupid, I don't want to!
Of course, this ice making method was precious! I would even suggest that saltpeter should be a regulated product in the future and should not be mined at will!”
Wang Ben's words made all the soldiers around him look forward to it, as they were eager to hear what the general had just said!
Then, Wang Ben changed the topic,
"As for what I said to the Thirteenth Young Master, it's because my Wang Family's family motto is not to participate in court politics too much.”
"Besides, he's good at making ice, gardens, and birds, but he's really bad at governing the country.”
"Forget it, I don't care about that much. Anyway, I've got this ice-making method. Let's go back and make ice! Hahahaha!"
While Wang Ben and his soldiers were feeling smug…
Suddenly, a crisp and cold voice sounded,"
"General Wang."
Wang Ben turned around and saw Ying Che's maid in green.
Cyan Shirt's voice could be heard clearly from dozens of meters away.
Cyan Shirt's face turned cold when she heard Wang Ben's words.
The next moment, he threw a large cloth bag over.
Whoosh!
The whistling sound of wind could be heard.
Like a small cannonball, the cloth bag's afterimage instantly arrived.
Wang Ben couldn't dodge it in time, so he could only open his arms and grab the bag, but he couldn't keep his stance.
Squat, squat. He was knocked back four to five steps before he stopped.
He coughed a few times and only recovered after a while.
This smash almost made him lose his breath.
Swoosh swoosh.
The soldiers instantly glared at Qing Yi with hostility!
"Cough cough cough…"
Wang Ben held the bag in front of his chest with one hand to cover his cough, and raised his other hand above his head to signal for everyone to stay still.
He stared at Qing Yi and was extremely serious.”
"Hmph, if you dare to speak ill of my young master behind his back again, I won't let you off so easily!”Qing Yi said coldly.
"Young Master's ability to govern the country is not something you vulgar martial artists can look up to.”
"In addition, this bag of salt is a gift from the young master to the soldiers.”
Salt?
Wang Ben quickly opened the bag in his arms.
In the end, he saw that half of the bag was filled with fine white granules.
Was this salt? There was such fine salt?
Wang Ben didn't believe it, so he licked his fingers.
It was really salty!
He still couldn't believe it. He wiped his fingers on the ice block and wiped the black sweat off his hands.
When he came back, he poked it carefully again. It was stained with a lot of white granules and he tasted it again.
It was salty and did not have any bitterness!
Old Wang's eyes gradually widened in disbelief.
Refined salt, this was refined salt without impurities!!!
"Impossible! How can you have so much refined salt?!”
"Even Great Qin can't dig out so much refined salt in a year!”
Could it be that the Thirteenth Young Master had rebelled and brought back Great Qin's treasury?!
Stop, stop, stop! I don't dare to think about it anymore. Can't mix it, can't mix it!
Forget it, what's the point of thinking so much?
This time, I've really profited, hahahaha!
With this bag of refined salt, my army can last for three years!
As long as everyone ate some salt every day for half a month before the war, they would have strength!
Hahaha, this time, if we fight again and work again, none of my men will be soft footed!
This ice, this salt!
This trip to move rocks was really worth it!!
Old Wang did not stand on ceremony at all. He would accept such a good thing if it was given to him. However, if he wanted to be grateful, sorry, he did not have it!
"Ah! Miss, I have no idea how you got this salt! Don't push the blame on me in the future."
"I'll accept the item. Help me thank your Young Master. Old Wang, I'm leaving, hahahaha!"
Cyan Shirt looked at Wang Ben coldly, and he was annoyed that he didn't show any gratitude.
However, he still repeated Young Master's words,"
"My Young Master said that since you, General Wang, want fairness, Young Master will make a fair deal with you.
He said that the next time he needed something from you, he would give you salt.”
Qing Yi didn't want to stay any longer and turned around to leave.
This vulgar warrior actually dared to disrespect Young Master.
He didn't know why Young Master valued him so much.
On the spot, Wang Ben was stunned by Qing Yi's last sentence,
Do you still have more salt?
That was impossible!
