Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 137

Chapter 137

Three days later, Zhang Yunji went from being terminally ill to alive and kicking!

This made Zhang Yunji, who had long given up on his recovery, directly regard Qin Yang as a life-saving god!
"The king is not in the mansion?"

After tidying up her clothes, she ran to the palace to ask the king of Youzhou, but was told that the other party was not in the mansion, not even in the city.

This made Zhang Yunji a little worried.

"Oh, I've heard before that the king was robbed and killed several times along the way. Although Youzhou is the king's fiefdom, it's too risky to just take a dozen people out of the city as soon as the king arrives."

"No! I have to find the king!"

He was anxious, not only because the other party had an accident, he would also be unlucky, but also because the other party had just saved him, and he hadn't repaid this kindness yet!

Zhang Yunji asked Qin Yang clearly where he was going, and rushed there with the escort team of the Governor's Mansion.

When we arrived at our destination, as soon as we got off the carriage, there was a choking smell that made Zhang Yunji cover his mouth and cough.

There is a large courtyard in front of it, and there are people standing guard at the door.

Seeing him leading someone over, he immediately stopped Zhang Yunji.

"I am Zhang Yunji, governor of Youzhou, and I want to see the king!" Zhang Yunji said while coughing.

Seeing that he was coughing like this, the soldier said: "It's gray here, please wait over there, sir, I'll go and report right away."

Speak politely, after entering, people came out soon.

"You are Mr. Zhang, right? Please follow me."

It was a girl who came out!

The girl was wearing men's clothes, and she also wore a white cloth on her face, but with Zhang Yunji's experience and vision, it was easy to see that it was a female doll.

Besides, the other party didn't hide it, the voice was clear and sweet!
Just by looking at her eyebrows, one could tell that the other party was extremely beautiful. Could this woman be the bed warming maid who came here with King Youzhou?

Zhang Yunji never showed contempt for such a pillow person.

He smiled at the girl who came over and said, "Miss, I'm sorry."

"Master Zhang, please wear this."

The woman took out a stack of things and handed it over.

Zhang Yunji received it in his hand and found that it was a few pieces of white cloth, which looked clean and soft.

There were straps on both sides of the cloth, and he tried to pick one up and hang it on his ears.

The choking smell was indeed reduced a lot.

He handed the remaining few to the servants who followed him in.

A group of people just walked in.

When I walked in, I found that the place was in full swing!

Hundreds of people were either stirring some strange-colored soil, or running around, not knowing what they were doing.

There are also people who are constantly piling up the loess in one place with a small cart.

Some people even collect wheat stalks and other things, not knowing what they are doing!
Zhang Yunji didn't dare to ask, until he saw Qin Yang, the king of Youzhou, who was also wearing a piece of cloth, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, why did you leave the city with a dozen guards?"

Zhang Yunji walked over and saluted first, then said worriedly.

Not only did Qin Yang not answer him, but he blamed him first: "Master Zhang, why did you come here? It's gray here, which is not good for your recovery. Come in and talk."

After speaking, let Zhang Yunji follow Qin Yang into a room behind.

After entering the house, a craftsman just came out and saluted Qin Yang.

Qin Yang waved his hands, telling them to retreat first.

"Master Zhang, what do you think of this kang?"

He took Zhang Yunji directly into the back room and asked.

Zhang Yunji saw that there was no bed or couch against the wall in this room, but something that looked like a bed.

It is still damp at this time, and there is a stove next to it. The bottom can be used to add fire, and the top can be used to cook and boil water.

"This is?"

As keen as he is, he realizes at a glance that this thing may be related to the future of the entire Youzhou!
His breathing became a little short!

Qin Yang smiled and explained: "This is called Earth Kang, you can also call it Fire Kang."

"When it's dry, put a bedding on it and you can sleep directly."

"Use this stove when cooking. You don't need to burn the fire at ordinary times. This kang is always hot all day long."

"The inside is half-empty, and you can smoke. When the kang is built, there will be a special flue leading to the outside."

"So even if you cook and boil water in the house, as long as you do it right, there won't be any smoke."

"And this thing is safer than a brazier."

"With it in winter, there is no need to set up a brazier, it will be warm on the kang."

The more he listened, the more surprised Zhang Yunji was!
Youzhou is in the north, and many people die every winter!
Most of them are the elderly, children and the sick and weak!
Why?

It's not cold!

Most of them are not so sick and weak, but who can burn charcoal every day for the poor?
Can't we just have to huddle in bed and shiver in the winter?
Under such circumstances, it is difficult to survive!

But if every family has this soil kang, no matter how cold the weather is, if they huddle on the kang, at least they can guarantee that they will not freeze to death!
Zhang Yunji asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, can this thing be promoted immediately?"

He originally thought that Qin Yang would agree immediately.

Unexpectedly, the young King Youzhou shook his head.

"Why?" Did he misunderstand King Youzhou?

The king of Youzhou is not a person who cherishes the common people?

Zhang Yunji's heart was filled with violent storms, but there was only a little shock on his face.

Qin Yang said calmly: "Do you think the Youzhou government's promotion of Tukang directly will have any good results?"

Why not?

Zhang Yunji's first reaction was this.

But then he slumped his shoulders.

Well, it really can't.

He came to Youzhou because of the competition between various forces.

Although the environment here is bitter and cold, it is actually only the common people who suffer.

Those rich and powerful families still live a happy life!

Moreover, the common people only knew about the Cui family, but not about the government!
There are even more people from the two Cui families who have gone into hiding.

I'm afraid it's no less than the recorded people in Youzhou!

"What the king said is, can the king have a solution?"

Qin Yang smiled and said: "Since I mentioned it, I have some, just wait for the good news from me."

After finishing speaking, he took Zhang Yunji out of the back room again.

Standing in the door of the outer room, he pointed to the people who were working in the distance, and said, "Master Zhang, what do you think are those things?"

"This... This subordinate is ignorant. I really don't know. Please enlighten me." Zhang Yunji shook his head.

"That thing is called cement. It is cheap and can be produced in large quantities. It is used to build houses. It is stronger than other things! I plan to use cement to increase the height of the city wall. What do you think?"

"This!"

The surprises kept coming, making Zhang Yunji a little dizzy.

"Cement? Can this stuff really be used on city walls?" Mr. Zhang couldn't help covering his chest.

"If it's true, that would be great!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of the people of Youzhou!"

"In the future, the city walls can be built in all the cities on the border! Foreign invasions and disturbances can be greatly reduced!"

Thinking of this, I can't wait to repair all the city walls immediately!
