Li Shimin

On the other side, Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi listened with horror on their faces.

"However, it was still checked out by you!"

For these situations, Li Xuan had expected.

After all, the glass and iron frame craftsmen are all half-way apprentices, and they are all veterans.

After firing so many pieces of glass and iron frames, only a few defective products came out, which is already perfect.

"That is, who is the old man? Wait until tomorrow, the old man will go to check again. Although I have checked each of them twice today, I have not found any other problems, so I am afraid that there may be omissions!"

Li Yuan was full of pride.

"As it should be!"

Li Xuan nodded quickly and said, he wished that the old man Xiong would check it every day.

"Huh, it's still warm in your room!"

On the side, Li Yuan shivered for a long time, only then did he feel his body warm up a lot.

Immediately, he took off the sheepskin padded jacket on his body, revealing a comfortable state.

Looking at the fiery red iron stove in front of him, he was filled with emotion. "I didn't expect that such an iron stove would have such a great effect, and you don't have to worry about carbon poisoning!"

"Don't you have a wall of fire and a charcoal stove for heating in your palace?"

Li Xuan glanced at Li Yuan strangely, and he could hear the strong envy in Li Yuan's tone.

Could it be that in the Tang Dynasty, these nobles still lacked a way to keep warm?

He even heard from Cheng Chusi that he was most envious of a heating method.

A certain nobleman directly bought a group of official prostitutes and asked them to surround him. If his hands were cold, he would directly find one to put his hands in, which was called warm hands!

It is much stronger than the warm baby in the later generations!

At night, many dignitaries and officials have maids who warm up the quilts in advance and let the masters lie down again.

As for the old man Li Yuan, Li Xuan didn't believe that when he was sleeping in his palace at night, there were no maids and concubines to warm his bed.

"It's so far away!"

Li Yuan slowly shook his head, "When the old man wakes up at night, it's very cold. Even if he hugs a stove, he's still shivering from the cold. If this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid he will freeze to death sooner or later!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi on the side were terrified.

This kind of secret matter is simply not something they can listen to, for fear of being silenced by His Majesty.

Li Xuan, on the other hand, looked helpless.

"This kind of iron stove was built by His Majesty. If you want it, just ask His Majesty for some!"

Li Yuan was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that these artifacts for warming the house were actually made by Li Shimin for Li Xuan.

"Did Erlang send someone to build it, but it was a craftsman from the Shaofu Supervisor?"

……

Chapter 129

……

Li Xuan shook his head and said, "I just give the drawings, but I don't know what craftsman made them!"

On the other side, Li Chengqian also shook his head hastily.

"The old man understands!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yuan stood up straight away, and circled the iron furnace back and forth.

Immediately, he looked at Li Chengqian.

"After going back, let Erlang send someone to forge five pieces of this kind of iron furnace for the old man... No, the old man wants ten pieces!"

"Ten pieces?"

Li Chengqian was startled.

"Is there a problem?"

Li Yuan stared.

"No no!"

Li Chengqian repeatedly said that he was just passing on a message, and he didn't want to do anything, so he didn't need to worry about such things.

Seeing this, Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

"It's getting late, and with the heavy snowfall, it's time to go back to the city!"

"Exactly, it's snowing and slippery, it's time for you guys to go back to the city!"

Li Xuan nodded quickly.

Immediately, he sent Li Yuan and the others out of the small courtyard, watching them leave slowly.

Only then did he exhale slowly.

And this time, Cheng Laosi and the others started to take the broom again, and began to clean one glass shed after another.

Seeing this, Li Xuan's face was stunned, it was a bad idea, he let these bastards go without cleaning the glass shed once.

I can only pick up the broom and clean the glass greenhouse.

Looking at a group of villagers in Lijiazhuang who were cleaning the roofs in the distance, Li Xuan thought for a moment, then walked straight to the sixth uncle's house.

No matter when, the people in the countryside are the most honest and diligent.

Someone has long cleared the roads connecting every household in the village.

When Li Xuan arrived, Sixth Uncle was clearing the snow in the courtyard.

"Master is here!"

The sixth uncle stopped his movements, and greeted Li Xuan enthusiastically.

Then, he shouted into the room: "Old lady, the young master is here, quickly pour a cup of hot tea to warm up the master!"

After saying that, the tightly closed wooden door in the room opened with a creak, and an old woman walked out of the room, looking at Li Xuan with a kind face.

"Master is here, come in quickly!"

Seeing this, Li Xuan saluted slightly, and followed into the house.

And this time, the old lady had already walked over with a cup of tea.

The teacup was a glass gifted by Li Xuan, and it was steaming hot, but the old lady's expression remained unchanged, as if her hands were not hot at all.

"Thank you ma'am!"

Li Xuan quickly took it and took a sip.

Although the sky was dark, the windows of the whole house had already been replaced with glass windows by Li Xuan, so the light in the house was okay.

And the inside of the house is relatively warm, the firewood in front of the stove is glowing red, and the pit is also extremely warm, it is actually a little hot to the touch.

Feeling the general feeling carefully, Li Xuan felt at ease in his heart.

Sure enough, the fire pit is king, and the temperature in Liu Shugong's house can even catch up with the temperature in his house where two iron stoves were fired.

After knowing it well, he drank another sip of hot tea and bid farewell to the sixth uncle and his wife.

……

Chang'an City.

After returning to the palace, Li Chengqian took over the exquisite stove from his servants, put on a snow-white mink coat, and instantly transformed into a noble young man, walking towards the Hall of Liangyi.

"Aye, I'm back!"

Li Chengqian bowed respectfully to Li Shimin who was reviewing the memorial, and then sat on the sofa beside him.

"How's the snow outside?"

Li Shimin raised his head and glanced at Li Chengqian below, a complex look flashed in his eyes.

According to Li Wei, this kid only lost more than ten pennies by playing the little wooden block called mahjong these days, which means that his relationship with the old man is growing day by day.

"Back to Aye, the heavy snow outside has become smaller, and it is expected to stop tonight!" Li Chengqian replied.

"In this way, the temperature will drop a lot tomorrow. I hope this year, fewer people will freeze to death."

Li Shimin said with emotion all over his face.

"Aye is wise, when the snow starts to melt tomorrow, the weather will drop a lot again!"

Li Chengqian also sighed with emotion, then thought of what the old man said, and said quickly: "Aye, the emperor wants Aye to forge some iron stoves for him!"

"Iron stove?"

Li Shimin's eyes were full of doubts.

"Back to Aye, it's the iron stove you made for Master!" Li Chengqian said quickly.

"The big iron furnace used to burn coal?"

After thinking about it, Li Shimin was startled, and quickly looked at Li Chengqian, "Why does the emperor want that iron furnace?"

"Back to Aye, Grandpa Huang thinks it's too cold in the palace, and wants to put some in the palace for him!"

Li Chengqian explained.

"The iron furnace is used to burn coal..."

As he said that, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of something, and quickly looked at Li Chengqian, "Has the charcoal been burned in Xuanba's room?"

"Exactly!"

Li Chengqian nodded lightly, thinking of the temperature in his wife's house, and feeling the temperature of Liangyi Hall again, he couldn't help wrapping the mink coat around his body again, and couldn't help hugging the stove in his hand even tighter.

"Father, Master has placed an iron stove in his bedroom, the main hall, and the kitchen! It is very warm. I am waiting in the Master's room, wearing very light clothes, so I don't feel cold at all."

"Xuan Ba ​​is not afraid of carbon poisoning?"

Li Shimin was shocked. Many people knew that charcoal could keep warm.

However, many people dare not burn it, because many people did not believe in evil before. After burning charcoal for warmth, they did not survive for a few days, with dizzy mind, nausea and vomiting.

In severe cases, as well as the whole family, they all fell asleep at night and never woke up again.

"Father remembers the long iron tubes specially made by the master. The charcoal poison produced by burning coal in the stove is directly transmitted to the outside of the house through the iron tubes. Moreover, the madam seems to be able to make a furnace The charcoal burns slowly overnight, and when you wake up the next morning, add some more charcoal, and it will continue to burn!"

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian was full of admiration.

"Sure?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was also shocked.

What Li Chengqian said was completely unheard of for him.

"Aye, Grandpa Huang and I saw this with our own eyes, and it happens every day!" Li Chengqian said hastily.

Hearing this, Li Shimin no longer hesitated.

Turning his head, he shouted to Li Wei who was at the side: "Li Wei, hurry to the Supervisor of Ling Shaofu, and tomorrow we will forge ten iron stoves! Send five pieces to Tai'an Palace, and five pieces to me!"

On the side, Li Chengqian hurriedly said weakly: "Aye, the emperor wants ten iron stoves!"

"Ok?"

Li Shimin was startled.

Immediately, he said to Li Wei who was on the side again: "Li Wei, then order the Shaofu supervisor to forge twenty iron stoves for me tomorrow, and the iron cylinders for the iron stoves, each of which must be matched Thirty feet long!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Wei saluted respectfully, then walked out quickly.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian could only be in his heart, and secretly lamented for a while to the supervisor and the young supervisor of the Shaofu Supervisor, and then continued to look at Li Shimin.

"Aye, there is one more thing to report, baby."

"What's the matter?"

"Once this kind of iron stove that can avoid charcoal poisoning comes out, the price of those charcoal mountains around Chang'an City will increase sharply."
