Du Shaoqing looked at the furnishings in the veteran's house with a broken arm, and nodded, although it is not a rich family, but it is not a family that cannot survive the winter.The veteran looked at Xuanxuan, the little girl who was roasting the fire in the princess's arms, and said with a smile: "Why don't you let the little lady come out and go out with my Sanya for a while?"
Children can't always be roasted in winter, and the more they move, the stronger their bodies become. ”The princess listened to this concept and looked up at Du Shaoqing, Du Shaoqing nodded: "Okay, listen to the fifth uncle, we are all fathers and mothers who have never taken children, but we don't have this experience." ”Saying that, Du Shaoqing pulled her daughter from Mrs.
Wang's arms, but the little girl heard it, but she didn't want to go out, and said timidly to Du Shaoqing: "Daddy, is it okay not to go out?"
It's windy outside, will it away?
”The house was in an uproar, and my heart said that this child was too funny, how strong a wind could it blow people away?"
Don't be afraid, you go and play with my sister here, and see how people play here in winter, don't you complain all day long that your son is not sensible and not fun?
Now there are so many kids here, you can get to know a lot of friends. ”Du Shaoqing encouraged.Are you sure?
The little girl was skeptical.Soon the third daughter of the veteran family with a broken arm came out, this child was about seven or eight years old, and the sensible took the initiative to pull up Du Xuanxuan.The veteran admonished: "Sanya, this is the little lady of the eldest prince's family, you have to be careful." ”"No, they're all children, it's just a matter of saying this, don't listen to your father, Sanya, just play with it as a little sister."
Du Shaoqing interrupted.Xiao Xuanxuan wrapped her clothes and went out together, there are indeed many children in the village, Sanya said hello, and about a dozen children came out, ranging in age from five to twelve years old.Du Shaoqing looked at the thinly dressed veterans around him, and said what he meant: "It's about to be the New Year, I'll come to see your uncles and brothers, send some food and drink to everyone for the New Year, if there is any difficulty at home, just tell me." ”"The eldest prince is benevolent and righteous, our group of people has to be taken care of by the master, each family has dozens of acres of land, and they are okay on weekdays, if you don't send so much money last time, where will there be any difficulties?
Other villages are envious of us, and the matchmakers who say they are close to each other are vying to marry their daughters to our village, which is very good. ”The veteran burst into tears of laughter.Let a few guys send the wine and meat to each family, Du Shaoqing began to make a family routine, and said that he would stay at noon to eat together, Li Chengqian said that this Du Shaoqing is really eloquent, isn't it just some short trivial matters in the family, you can all talk enthusiastically.After a while, the buddy Erhu ran in, and said to Du Shaoqing with a difficult face: "Shopkeeper, I found a problem, it seems that except for the fifth uncle, other people don't even have a brazier at home, in this cold winter wax moon, there are not a few clothes to keep warm, if there is no brazier or stove, how can you live?"
”Du Shaoqing stood up in surprise and asked puzzledly, "What Erhu said is the truth?"
Why doesn't anyone talk about such an important thing?
”"The eldest prince misunderstood, it's not a big deal, everyone comes over like this every year, and I haven't seen anything!
Charcoal for heating is something that only rich and noble families can afford, so where can we use that?
”Well, it turned out that half a day was still a matter of money, and if it weren't for the broken arm veteran who had a broken arm, I am afraid he would be reluctant to burn a brazier, at this time Du Shaoqing found out that the charcoal in this brazier is also of the worst quality.After pacing back and forth in the room for a while, Du Shaoqing looked up at Li Chengqian, who was coming with him, and asked, "Do you know coal?"
”Li Chengqian shook his head, he knew about black charcoal, but he had never heard of coal."
It's just a dark stone, you can burn it, but a lot of it will be dusty when you burn it."
Du Shaoqing explained."
But carbonstone?
I've seen it in the book, and it doesn't seem to be used in the palace. ”Li Chengqian explained.This is a veteran said: "We know that the charcoal stone that the eldest prince said, the things that are not worth one, there are produced in the West Mountain Pass, and we used some when we couldn't do it before, but that thing is easy to be poisoned by charcoal for heating, so no one dared to use it later." ”Du Shaoqing's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "If you are afraid of poisoning, you can burn the kang, this is very easy to solve." ”Everyone was puzzled, only Li Chengqian understood, and asked in surprise: "Can you solve the problem of charcoal poison?"
”Du Shaoqing smiled mysteriously: "Stay here with me to help for two days, and I will give you a credit." ”Li Chengqian couldn't ask for it, he came to Du Shaoqing for advice, although he didn't agree, but now he took the initiative to give credit to himself, isn't this still helping himself?
Then Du Shaoqing asked people to go to the mountain col to find two truckloads of charcoal, that is, coal, which should be a small open-pit coal mine in the mountain, and it was also luck to find it near Duling.At the home of the veteran with a broken arm, everyone began to work on the fire kang according to Du Shaoqing's command, although everyone is also strange, it is not uncommon to build soil for a bed, but what is the aisle left in the middle for?
Not afraid of snakes, rats, insects and ants?
When the kang is covered with a thick wooden bedboard, the kitchen next to it uses coal to boil water, the hot smoke passes through the aisle, and the room with the kang is as warm as spring, everyone understands that the eldest son is simply too powerful, and this is not a perfect solution to the problem of carbon poisoning in heating?"
This is the method, every family can connect the kang in the bedroom to keep warm, no need to buy expensive charcoal, just use the worthless charcoal in the mountain, the cost of making the kang I will pay, everyone will have a warm year this winter."
Du Shaoqing said with a smile.Everyone was grateful: "The eldest prince has done so much for us, how can you still let you pay to make us a fire kang?"
It's all simple stuff that we can make by ourselves. ”Li Chengqian looked at all this and turned around and left with an excited farewell, Du Shaoqing followed and asked, "How do you think of making meritorious contributions?"
”"Well, I want my father to issue an order to spread this method of fire kang throughout the Tang Dynasty, so that the people don't have to worry about freezing to death in winter."
Li Chengqian said excitedly.Du Shaoqing nodded and quipped: "I thought you would go back to the emperor and queen as soon as possible to put on a kang to invite credit, then I am afraid that not only will you not get the credit, but you will be scolded by Your Majesty." ”Li Chengqian complained: "Am I so bad?
After all, he is also a prince, and he has national affairs in his heart. ”"Hehe, if it was the former prince, wouldn't that be what he did?
That's how I was scolded.Now you really look like a prince, congratulations!
I graduated from the kindergarten attached to Yunlai Inn. ”Du Shaoqing patted Li Chengqian's shoulder and encouraged.The prince looked at Du Shaoqing gratefully, and nodded heavily, he already understood what Du Shaoqing wanted to teach.Of course, he seems to have ignored the stalk of kindergarten."
Hehe, your suggestion is not bad, after reporting on state affairs, I will arrange a fire kang for my father and mother."
The prince smiled and got into the carriage and left quickly.When Du Shaoqing turned around and returned to the veteran's house, his daughter Xiao Xuanxuan had just come back from playing with her friends, and after two days in the village, Xiao Xuanxuan seemed to have returned to Luoxia Town, becoming a little girl who likes to run crazy all day long.Xiao Xuanxuan pouted and complained: "Daddy is so bad, I am warm in the house with my mother, let me go outside to play and sweat to keep warm, hum, I want to tell grandma, let her help me vent my anger, next time I will stay in the house and let my father go outside to play." ”Du Shaoqing, who had just entered the door, slipped when he heard his daughter's words, and his feet slipped when he heard his daughter's words, and he was over, and he was worried about his vengeful daughter, and he would inevitably be twisted by his mother's ears.
