My house's electrical wiring dates back to the Tang Dynasty.

These are two double-door refrigerators.

How can there be no refrigerator if there's electricity?

Back in modern times, Li Mingbo had already decided that there would be one Li Mingbo and one Li Shimin.

"That's right. Now, I'll connect the electricity and turn it on. Then it will be like winter inside. I can put these drinks in there to freeze them," Li Mingbo said.

Seeing Empress Zhangsun wiping away sweat, he put down his tools, walked over to the transparent film of the pear-flavored energy drink, pierced the film, took out a bottle, unscrewed the cap, took a sip himself, and then handed it to the Empress, saying, "Empress, this is something I prepared especially for you. It's pear-flavored. Pears clear the lungs and reduce internal heat, so it'll be fine for you."

It was handed to Empress Zhangsun.

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Empress Zhangsun took it and handed it to the palace maid standing to the side.

The palace maid poured the contents of the bottle into a white porcelain bowl and then handed it to the Empress.

The Empress raised her long sleeves to cover her face, then picked up the bowl, took a sip, and looked at Li Shimin, saying, "It's delicious, even better than rock honey water, and it has a fruity aroma."

Seeing that there was still quite a bit left, Li Shimin imitated Li Mingbo and tilted his head back to take a swig.

"It tastes different from cola, it's delicious, all of these are mine now," Li Shimin said, pointing to everything.

"Your Majesty, I'll buy four portions of each: one for you, one for me, and one for General Qin and General Cheng."

"There's no need to give them to the two of them. Cheng Yaojin doesn't deserve to drink this. That boorish man drinking such good stuff is like a cow chewing on a peony," Li Shimin said.

What can Li Mingbo say? You are the emperor, the whole world is yours.

Li Mingbo began connecting the wires.

First, set up a master switch in Li Shimin's Ganlu Hall.

This put Li Shimin, a man with a strong desire for control, at ease.

Li Mingbo asked someone to bring over a chair.

To Li Mingbo's surprise, there were no high-legged chairs in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin knew that the electric shock was to treat the Empress's illness, so he didn't mind and simply let Li Mingbo step on the table.

Li Mingbo stood with his feet on Li Shimin's dragon-shaped desk, hammering nails into the ground with a thud.

"Your Majesty, where should we put the refrigerator?" Li Mingbo asked.

"It's in the corner," Li Shimin said, pointing to the eastern corner.

Next, Li Mingbo installed three electrical outlets in the hall: one near the bed, one next to Li Shimin's desk, and the other in the east corner, near the refrigerator.

It took an hour to complete the installation.

"Your Majesty, one should also be installed in the Empress's bedroom," Li Mingbo said.

"No need, Your Majesty, it's fine here," Empress Zhangsun said.

"No," Li Mingbo said.

Li Shimin saw that even he, the emperor, hadn't spoken, while this commoner had spoken first; this kid was becoming more and more outrageous.

"Give me a reason not to kill you," Li Shimin said, looking at Li Mingbo.

"His Majesty will find out soon," Li Mingbo said.

He told the two that he needed to go back and turn on the power.

Li Mingbo returned to the other side of the passage and pulled the switch.

Back to Ganlu Palace.

I plugged the refrigerator in and set the power to level 4.

Li Mingbo had already cleaned the refrigerator when it was in modern times.

Then I filled the refrigerator with Coke and pear energy drinks.

"It really is winter, Guanyinbi, come and take a look." Li Shimin walked over, reached into the refrigerator, and felt a chill rush towards him, instantly feeling incredibly refreshed.

"Your Majesty, the top layer is the preservation layer. The temperature is low, but it is not frozen. For example, the meat and vegetables that are going to be cooked today can be temporarily stored on the top layer to keep them fresh and prevent them from spoiling. The middle and bottom layers are the freezing layers. If you want to drink ice, you can fill this ice cube tray with water and leave it in for about half an hour to get ice."

"However, the water must be boiled and cooled before drinking. You should never drink unboiled water again."

While explaining to the couple how to use the refrigerator, Li Mingbo also explained some basic hygiene practices to them.

Why?

"Because there are insects in water that hasn't been boiled."

"Nonsense, I didn't see it."

"Really, I'll show you when I'm ready." Li Mingbo didn't bother explaining to Li Shimin, an ancient man.

After the refrigerator was running, Li Mingbo brought over a water-cooled floor fan, asked a palace maid to fetch a bucket of water, and then plugged it into the socket near Li Shimin's desk.

Huhu.

The fan started running, sending out gusts of cool air.

"Haha, this is great, this is big." Li Shimin walked over and stood in front of the fan, laughing heartily. "Send one to the Empress's bedroom as well."

"Your Majesty, electricity," Li Mingbo said, pointing to the power lines.

Li Shimin then remembered his earlier question to Li Mingbo for a reason, but being thick-skinned, he pretended not to know and said, "Oh, immediately, connect the electricity to the Empress's palace, and then send a typhoon fan over to the Empress."

"Your Majesty, I thank you," Empress Zhangsun said, bowing. Afterward, she asked, "Your Majesty, should the electricity be turned on for the other concubines?"

"No need," Li Shimin said, waving his hand.

The Empress's palace was in the Lizheng Hall, east of the Liangyi Hall, while Li Shimin's palace was in the Ganlu Hall, north of the Liangyi Hall (this is what 007 found online; why is the harem's palace in front of the Emperor's? This is very irregular, isn't it? If anyone knows, please leave a comment).

It's far away.

"Your Majesty, it's so far away, there aren't enough power lines. Should we arrange for the Empress's palace to be near Ganlu Palace?" Li Mingbo asked Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at the coils of electrical wires inside the hall, and after hearing Li Mingbo's words, he pondered for a long time before saying, "Alright, move the Empress's palace to Anren Hall." Li Shimin thought for a moment and then said.

Then he immediately called for people to move things.

Anren Hall is located to the west of Ganlu Temple, and Guizhen Temple is directly to the north.

After he finished speaking, he saw a palace maid carrying a wooden bucket of water in.

Li Mingbo turned off the fan, pulled out the box underneath, poured the water in, and then opened it.

Soon, the fan was blowing out a refreshing breeze, carrying wisps of water mist.

Li Shimin stood in the windy spot, feeling the gusts of wind and mist blowing by, his pores contracted, "Good, good, so refreshing."

"Don't fill the Empress's side with water. The Empress is ill and it's not suitable for her to have water added. It will make her condition worse if she catches a cold," Li Mingbo said.

"Thank you, Mr. Li. It's already very good that there's a breeze."

Next, Li Mingbo found a power outlet, took out a nebulizer and placed it on Li Shimin's desk. Then he took out salbutamol and budesonide from the medicine, poured them into the nebulizer cup according to the dosage, inserted the transparent plastic tube, connected it to the nebulizer, and then turned on the nebulizer.

beep...

The atomizer started vibrating, making the table rattle.

Puffs of white mist escaped from the transparent mask.
