"Ding, new mission, provoke the third prince, and reward life span for three months after completion, and the cultivation level will be improved to the middle stage of the internal strength realm!"

Chen Xiao was stunned when the system sounded down.

Provoking the third prince?

Is this thing still provocative?

Once the third prince comes back, he will not be allowed to bring a knife to trouble Chen Xiao as soon as possible?

Moreover, the third prince's anger towards Chen Xiao must be very great.

Go and provoke him again...will this mean to seek death?

Chen Xiao licked his lips, and to be honest, it was a little weak.

But then I thought about it, even if I didn’t provoke the third prince, the third prince would definitely cause trouble for me...

"Then he is afraid of a hammer. Anyway, he will cause trouble for me. So what if he provokes?"

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao smiled. This task seemed difficult, but in fact, it was just that!

So Chen Xiao no longer cared too much.

In the Imperial College, Chen Xiao is really leisurely.

The Imperial College has a total of seven subjects: Imperial College, Taixue, Guangwenguan, Simenguan, Law, Calligraphy, and Mathematics.

All seven subjects have doctoral and teaching assistants, responsible for teaching students.

The seven-school level is different, and the subjects are also different.

For example, Imperial College has five doctoral students, who are also fifth-rank officials, and are responsible for teaching descendants of third-rank officials and above in the court, as well as descendants of Dukes, as well as great-grandsons from second-rank or above.

There are six doctoral students in the Imperial Academy, who are the sixth rank officials, and they are all descendants of officials of the fifth rank or above, as well as descendants of county and county officials, and great-grandsons of the third rank.

By analogy, basically, the seven schools are descendants of the ministers and officials of the teachings.

As for the descendants of the royal family and the princes, they teach in the palace school of the palace.

Chen Xiao was sitting on a chair at this moment, looking at the list of some students in the Imperial College, and couldn't help but smack his lips:

"Awesome, this Imperial College basically includes the descendants of all the officials in this imperial capital."

Thinking of this, he realized that he had already controlled most of the future officials of Long Kingdom?

Moreover, if you want to fight for power and profit, now teaching all the children of all the officials in the court will be the same as if you are determined to eat them?

After all, that official didn’t want his son to be better at the Imperial College?

Or, if an official is not good at seeing others and offends himself in the court, then he can go back to the Imperial College to deal with your son, just ask if you are afraid?

Chen Xiao smiled. This is such a huge resource!

This day, time passed quickly.

After releasing the yamen, Chen Xiao waved and headed outside the Imperial College.

Along the way, all the ministers and descendants I met respectfully bowed to Chen Xiao!

Chen Xiao felt very satisfied. Everyone was young, they were students, and they were the principal, which was so cool!

Back at the restaurant where he hated the most, the fat man gave Chen Xiao a stack of silver notes.

Chen Xiao glanced at him and found that he had a total of 300,000 taels of silver.

"Damn, where did it come from?" Chen Xiao was confused.

The fat man said: "The profits of the five restaurants and the money of the salt industry."

Chen Xiao didn’t expect that in a few months, the restaurant made so much money?

Chen Xiao felt happy to hold the silver note in his hand. This money is quite a lot, and he is considered a rich man in Long Country.

So he took out ten thousand taels of silver and handed it to the fat man and said:

"Help me find someone and decorate the Chen Mansion for me."

"Chen's Mansion?" The fat man was puzzled.

Chen Xiao said: "Just that man in Zhang County is mine, isn't it mine? I haven't lived there yet. Please ask someone to help me decorate it and invite some maids and servants!"

"Are you going to stay in? Is it not good to live in this restaurant?" said the fat man.

"Don't worry about whether I can live or not. I am an official now, and I am a fourth-rank official, and I don't even have a mansion. What do you think?" Chen Xiao said.

When the fat man heard that, he took the silver note and turned around and left.

In the backyard, Qi Mo was raising pigs, and Bai Qingqing was watching.

Seeing that Chen Xiao was coming, she hurried over to thank Chen Xiao.

Because Chen Xiao helped her find the murderer, Zhao Kuo, the former priest of the Imperial College, has been sentenced to death.

"What are your plans in the future?" Chen Xiao asked Bai Qingqing.

Bai Qingqing shook her head confused: "I don't know either!"

Chen Xiao was silent for a moment and said, "Your grandpa asked me to take care of you, why don't you stay in this restaurant?"

"Well, I have sold the Bai Mansion..." Bai Qingqing lowered her head.

Chen Xiao was speechless. It seemed that he had already made plans.

Of course, he didn't say anything, just nodded with a smile.

After dinner together, several people sat in the backyard to enjoy the cool air.

Summer has not passed yet and it is still very hot.

"It's better to winter, you can play with snow and ice!" Qi Mo said.

Bai Qingqing also said: "You can also play with ice in summer, but that must be the palace. However, the palace may not have ice anymore, after all, it has been hot for so long."

The two girls were having a lot of fun chatting, but for a modern person, Chen Xiao, I felt really uncomfortable listening to their conversation.

Ice? In modern times, that is what people often eat in summer, ice cream, popsicles... ice drinks...

But in this ancient world, eating ice in summer? Even the emperor doesn’t want to eat it.

Especially when the ice warehouse is melted, I eat a hammer...

Chen Xiao licked his lips and sighed.

Just when he was upset, he suddenly thought of something.

Ice making by saltpeter!

I believe many people know this physics knowledge, but there are probably not many who have truly practiced it.

The principle is very simple, that is, it is best to find saltpeter, and pour it into powder and pour it into water. It can quickly dissipate the heat in the water, reduce the water temperature to zero, and form ice crystals, thereby achieving the effect of icing.

In fact, Chen Xiao and a few friends in the dormitory wanted to do this when they were studying.

Because there is no air conditioning or refrigerator in the school dormitory, they are sometimes very hot, so a few guys discussed buying saltpeter to make ice in the dormitory.

I just found that saltpeter is actually not cheap either. Is it not good to buy saltpeter money to buy popsicles?

So there was no practice at that time.

But at this moment, Chen Xiao wanted to practice it!

So he got up from the chair, went out to find a restaurant clerk, and asked him to go to a nearby Taoist temple and find Taoist priests to buy some saltpeter.

Because in this world, the role of saltpeter is not widely recognized. After all, in ancient China, saltpeter was discovered to be used as gunpowder, so it was vigorously mined.

And why was it discovered that it could be used as gunpowder?

This is related to Taoist priests, because Taoist priests like to refine alchemy, such as saltpeter, lime, cinnabar, charcoal, sulfur, etc., all like to refine medicine together.

In ancient China, a Taoist priest was refining. After the proportion of saltpeter, charcoal and sulfur was correct, it exploded...

So, Chen Xiaocai asked his friend to go to the Taoist temple to ask for saltpeter. Taoist priests love to refine alchemy, so there is this thing.

Sure enough, he didn't disappoint. After the guy came back, he pushed a cart of saltpeter.
Chapter completed!
