Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 567
[Chapter 192]
When the New Year’s bell came, the losing team in Ershui County was among Tian Rugang.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were unable to eliminate the cold current.
The only thing the two can do is to send the cotton that was planted and harvested early this year in Shuzhou and shipped to Sanshui County to make clothes to the northernmost area of Datang.
Originally, this batch of clothes and quilts was going to be sold for a good amount of money in Beijing.
Except for the quilts and cotton-padded clothes that were shipped over.
Wang Juan also brought over the military map there, and circled a few places with a pen on it, asking the local people to find a way to dig, and the approximate locations of those places can be found in coal mines.
Zhang Xiaobao thought about it more than once, it would be nice if there was heating, but if it couldn’t work, he would hide in the house and go out as little as possible. Unfortunately, this wish is too difficult to realize. Relying on the strength of his own home to make a small boiler, maybe he can do it, think If heating is provided in a certain state or several states at the same time, the money will not be able to support it, even if the materials are not available.
The place where the heating can be used now may be the marble building in the imperial cellar later.
I hope Li Longji doesn’t forget that there are still people freezing to death when he is warm.
When the hot dumplings were brought to the table, the sound of New Year’s greetings rang out among the families celebrating the New Year together.
There are still people performing shows on the platform that was set up.
In the midst of the excitement, a bunch of little guys ignored the people on the stage singing and dancing, and were led by maids and servants to play with flowers. The winter in Shuzhou is not warm, at least this year is dry and cold.
It’s a pity that there is no heavy snow, no freezing situation, no snow scene and ice lanterns.
It makes many people living in the north a little uncomfortable.
In the lively atmosphere, the old man Bi and the four always flashed a trace of worry in their eyes. They didn’t want to talk about things when they were happy, and they had to find Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan who led the fireworks.
“Xiaobao, do you think someone will freeze to death in the north?” Old Man Bi frowned as he heard the fireworks explode one by one, and shouted to Zhang Xiaobao.
When Zhang Xiaobao heard the sound, he opened his mouth twice, and simply pulled the four old men into the room next to him. He was at least stronger in speaking here than outside. He
shouted:
“I can’t do anything about it at my house. Didn’t they start building a lot of kangs a few years ago? I don’t think there is anything wrong.”
When he said this, Zhang Xiaobao felt a little against his heart. Some people will freeze to death, and some people will freeze to death, but he has no way.
Not to mention now, it was when he and Wang Juan came, when the winter cold snap came.
It is impossible to make everyone safe,
and there are people who die of heat stroke in summer.
“Can you send some cold-resistant stuff over there? Like the stuff in the shell that your family sells? Putting it on your hands and face will at least prevent the skin from being cracked.”
Old Man Bi shouted again.
He also knows that every year people die from heat and freeze.
In the past, he couldn’t think of any way. Now that there are things from the Zhang and Wang family, he feels that he can try to do better.
It’s a drop in the bucket, Zhang Xiaobao doesn’t think that antifreeze ointment can save people’s lives, but since old man Bi brought it up, he can only accept it, nodded and shouted: “Then send a few more carts of things over there, wait. In this year, my family will make a special heating product, and I hope people in the north can have the money to make it. Next year, oh, it will be better if this winter encounters such a situation again.”
Zhang Xiaobao thought of the soil .
The boiler is a very simple thing. It is built inside the furnace, equipped with a water circulation, and connected to the outside with pipes, and it can be heated. It is stronger than the gun, and the heat dissipation of the gun is too poor.
It is not cold to stay on it, if the room is bigger, standing far away from the pit, it will still be frozen.
Zhang Xiaobao once experienced such a cold.
Lying position when sleeping at night.
The back is hot and uncomfortable, and the nose is red from freezing. People in the countryside use earthen boilers. As long as there is a fire in the stove, it will be much more comfortable.
The old man Bi was satisfied now. “I knew that your family had a solution. Can the biogas digester be used there?”
Zhang Xiaobao felt that the old man Bi was really whimsical. When the weather in the north was cold, the efficiency of using the biogas digester was too low. He shook his head slightly, and did not speak this time, but the meaning was very clear.
“Forget it, let’s go, go out and watch the fun.” Old Man Bi said regretfully, which was directly covered by the sound of firecrackers and fireworks outside.
For Chinese New Year this year, the people of Shuzhou are much better than before, and everyone has spare money.
Don’t worry about a dumpling.
Even those who lack labor at home also have white flour and meat.
According to tradition, Zhang Zhong is still giving things to poor households this year, and the people next to the prefecture will deliver them in person, and those far away will also send people to deliver them, hoping to make everyone have a good year.
The capital is also very lively at this time. Since the ice lanterns have such a good publicity method, the merchants have spared no effort to dress up the capital.
As the emperor, Li Longji is also enjoying the New Year’s happiness, he has a very beautiful house.
It is all built of white marble, even if people can freeze into ice outside, the inside of the house is still so warm.
Fireworks bloom one by one in the night sky.

com Li Longji didn’t hesitate to come out of the warm house to have fun with the people. He looked at the ice lanterns on the street in the distance with his clairvoyance, and then looked at the bright fireworks in the sky, the coolness of the night and the lively atmosphere.
Makes you feel like you are in a dream.
A gust of cold wind blew, which made people shiver uncontrollably. After picking up the holding stove handed over from the side, Li Longji finally remembered that there was another place in Datang where even the news could not be transmitted, and the people there did not know that they would freeze to death. How much, he turned his head and asked the person next to him: “Gao Qing, what do you think will happen in the north at this time?”
“Your Majesty, don’t worry, this minister has received the news that the Zhang family in Sanshui County has moved a large number of carriages a few days ago, bringing Luzhou to the north.
The cotton-padded clothes and quilts that have just been delivered are all transported to the north. Count the days. It won’t take long to get there, the emperor please look there, the light there is different from other places, it is the light bulb sent here by the Zhang family. ”
Gao Lishi replied a sentence, and immediately pointed to a place not far away, where there were colorful lanterns.
It looks very beautiful at night, so I can use this to divert Li Longji’s attention.
Li Longji nodded slightly and said, “Every time the Zhang family moves the fastest, but unfortunately, it’s still too late. If it could have been earlier, I think many people would die less, Gao Qing, if you send Zhang Zhong there In the Northland, will it be possible to make it stable even if we encounter such weather again next year?”
