Do good deeds without leaving your name

That's right, what Wu Yan uses to order hot pots is mini honeycomb briquettes.

In fact, it is not difficult to obtain such efficient burning briquettes.But sometimes, it is not easy to want an inspirational innovation.

After the plum blossom banquet, Wu Yan and Li Zhi were not in a hurry. After all, when dealing with people, the impatient side loses its strong position first.

So they continue to spend their time having artisans build coal stoves.

This is why Wu Yan took it for granted before, ignoring "with honeycomb coal, how can we lose the golden partner of the coal stove"-or there is a person named Sun Shi among the craftsmen, who comes here occasionally with a trembling heart, By the way, the living eunuch master of the overseer responded.

Facing Eunuch Hu, even if all the craftsmen could see him from time to time, they still couldn't calm down. They would always have a trace of awe and a trace of incomplete sympathy for the other party.

But the craftsmen are all rough and illiterate, and they don't know what their specific weak sympathy is, so every time they face Eunuch Hu, everyone stutters. , but more and more respectful.

The craftsmen recruited by the Prince Jin's Mansion are all carefully selected. Even if their brains are not very active, their character is basically okay.Eunuch Hu has stayed in the palace for most of his life, how could he fail to see that a group of country folks can be regarded as simple in heart?However, after most of his life, he has experienced the ups and downs of life, so that Eunuch Hu will not be moved by the weak kindness in the eyes of these craftsmen.

What's more, Eunuch Hu doesn't think there is anything pitiful about him.Look at this group of craftsmen and His Highness's tenants. If you meet someone who is kind-hearted like His Highness, you will be lucky. You will be able to eat and wear warm clothes. More people will live in poverty, and they will sell them even in the last disaster year. Son sells daughter.Although I am physically handicapped, I have lived a rich life in the palace for most of my life. When I got older, I found the right way and followed a good master. When I get old, I will take care of myself in the palace and bask in the sun. Also excellent.

This probably means that Zi Feiyu An knows the joy of fish, right?

Eunuch Hu gathered Sun Shi's thoughts and other trivial matters and reported them to His Royal Highness and Princess Wang.

He could see it for real. Since the princess married His Highness, His Highness's popularity has also increased, as if he suddenly became energetic, and he no longer looks like a banished fairy.As for why His Highness trusts and gets close to the princess so much?Eunuch Hu thinks that a slave doesn't have to go to the bottom to find out why there are so many reasons. If he follows the right master, he just keeps following.

Wu Yan heard Eunuch Hu's report, and after Eunuch Hu withdrew, he smiled at Li Zhi: "Look, there is a specialization in art. I only know about these things, and the specific considerations are indeed not as good as Mr. Song and Lin Zhi." My lord, even Craftsman Sun is much more professional than me."

Li Zhi, who has been training for a long time, seems more and more calm, talking about business in a dignified way: "Ayan only needs to give a good suggestion, and the rest of the trivial matters are naturally left to professional people to perfect. Why split 360 rows if one person can do everything?"

"You're so relieved. It's been three days since the Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet, and we'll see in these few days whether there are any people in Bingzhou who know what to buy."

..............................

"Ah Huan, the meaning of Jinwangfu this time is not yet clear. It is not beautiful to rashly find someone from your natal family to go to Jinwangfu with me." Hu Wei, the Patriarch of the Hu Family, finally decided to take another look at the situation.

And the female family members of aristocratic families in Bingzhou also came to visit sporadically, and they were talking about vegetables in winter.

Because it was all the female family members who came to speak out for the elders in front, Wu Yan was wearing ordinary clothes, pretending to be homely, and said: "His Royal Highness has written a booklet on how to grow vegetables in winter and sent it to Chang'an. His Majesty also said in his reply that although this is a good thing, it will cost too much after all, so it will not be advocated in our Tang Dynasty. However, this method of planting will be distributed to all state capitals. Buying a few vegetables in winter to try new ones is also a manifestation of my prosperity in the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of the country and the people's peace."

All the female relatives were sent home like this.

Wu Yan was very disappointed, feeling that no one had found out about the briquettes. Could it be that he was just playing around and shouldn't overestimate the sensitivity of the house girl?Can't you?

The female relatives were even more disappointed. The princess is not very old, but she is already quite sophisticated in her life, and she is not slippery when she speaks.

Li Shimin, who is far away in Chang'an, is very proud.

It can even be ignored that Wei Zheng's old man was always black-faced and picky for 360 five days a year.

At the Xiaochao meeting, only the humerus minister of the current Tang Dynasty was present.

After talking about business, Lala is homely.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "It seems that the saying about getting married and starting a business is correct. The pheasant slave has grown up a lot since he got married, and he even offered a recipe for warming the house and growing vegetables a while ago..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Zheng wanted to repeat the old saying: "Your Majesty, that's too extravagant..."

Li Shimin didn't understand why Wei Zheng was so stingy, and he didn't lose his salary, he was too petty.

Even the other ministers felt that Wei Zheng was a bit too much, just relying on the pivotal status of everyone here in the Tang Dynasty, what's the matter with heating a house and growing vegetables in winter?This prescription of His Royal Highness King Jin is really good!Originally, if you eat too much meat in winter, you will be extremely prone to blockage... Ahem, important ministers are also human beings, and they will also get constipated because of eating too much greasy food.

Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, and after thinking about it for a while, he said to his confidant: "Has there been any news from the spies from Prince Jin's Mansion in Taiyuan?"

"According to reports from the spies, King Jin lives in secluded places, rarely has contact with the local patriarchs of Bingzhou, and has not spent too much time dealing with the officials of Bingzhou; Princess Jin occasionally holds banquets, but not frequently. Oh, What's more, King Jin and Princess Jin seem to be very interested in craftsmen, so they recruited craftsmen to make some gadgets." The man lowered his head and reported back, reporting to the crown prince all the major events that happened since King Jin became a vassal.

After hearing this, the prince felt more at ease: "Okay, let them continue to lurk and not act rashly. If there is any abnormality, then pass the letter to Feige."

The servants lead the way.

Li Chengqian said to his confidant staff: "I said that my ninth younger brother has been indifferent to fame and fortune since he was a child. Since he is so obedient, he will naturally not embarrass him after Gu ascends the throne. Unlike that Li Tai... Hmph, what about Xiangzhou?"

"The king of Wei often made friends with literature in Xiangzhou. According to the information obtained by the spies, the civil officials in Xiangzhou respected him very much. There was no movement from the generals, and there was no response to King Wei's overtures." The staff opened the scroll and formed a small book He read the small paper scroll and said, "This is the news I just received from Xiangzhou.

Li Chengqian's face was gloomy: "Li Tai has loved to play this kind of tricks since he was a child. If the generals in Xiangzhou didn't respond to him, it was already a bad sign. If they didn't respond, it meant that they were just waiting and watching! What are you waiting and watching? Isn't it the way to watch the lonely prince?" After all, the seat is still not firmly seated!"

The aides felt that the crown prince was making a big fuss. It was very difficult for the generals of the government or the vassal kings to mobilize troops. As long as the generals in Xiangzhou remained neutral, His Royal Highness Wei Wang had no troops, so naturally he could not plan anything.At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is better to be still than to move.

However, the staff had said these words several times, and even Li Chengqian's uncle, the eldest grandson Wuji, had advised the prince to calm down.

Even so, His Royal Highness still often loses his mind because of the affairs of King Wei.

"Oh? Ah Yan said that among the female relatives, the wife of the Hu family mentioned briquettes when they visited?" Li Zhi picked up a piece of hot mutton roll and put it into Wu Yan's bowl very naturally inside.

Eating hot pot in winter is nothing more than a happy thing.

Wu Yan was lamenting that it was a pity that there was no chili, so he could only use some spices as dipping sauce, when he suddenly saw a pair of bamboo chopsticks delivering a piece of mutton to the bowl in front of him.

Naturally, it's not that King Jin and his concubine can't afford gold inlaid jade, but they think it's too bulky, it's cold in their hands, and it's not homely at all; there are also ivory chopsticks given by the palace, Wu Yan looks at those ivory chopsticks It's really beautiful, like a handicraft, but I'm reluctant to use it.

That's right, although ivory chopsticks or fur materials sound cruel, in modern society, one is prohibited from hunting elephants for their teeth, and the other is repeatedly stopped by environmentalists.But in this Tang Dynasty where there were no cotton-padded jackets and no windproof and waterproof chemical fiber fabrics, a cold might kill someone, and it would be too false to say this verbally.

Wu Yan can't guarantee that she doesn't use fur, don't use things taken from animals, or eat meat, but she can guarantee that she will not collect these things to satisfy her own selfish desires now and in the future.

It's enough to treat yourself well and be ashamed of your heart.

"Ms. Hu's wife is a concubine of a side branch of the Wang family. I really didn't see it. They were the first to mention briquettes." Wu Yan carefully chewed the mutton that Li Zhi picked up. The lamb was fat and juicy, with a bit of smell nothing.

Abao Qingtong and the others who were serving did not care about what His Highness and Princess Wang were talking about, anyway, they were the most confidantes of His Highness and Princess Wang.When Li Zhi and Wu Yan talked about a lot of things, there was no need to shy away from them.

Qing Tong and the others looked at each other with joy on their faces: If things go on like this, after a few years, His Highness and Princess Wang will soon have children, right?

"So, I plan to give this prescription to their Hu family." Li Zhi said the decision he made after deliberating for half an hour in the afternoon.

Wu Yan nodded: "The hero sees the same thing." But he didn't ask why.This is probably another level of mutual understanding.

As for why this benefit was distributed to the Hu family, it will be known in the future.

As for whether the Hu family was surprised or frightened when they received the pie that fell from the sky, outsiders don't know.

Hu Wei took Wang's hand and said, "Ah Huan, this matter is very complicated. When the Wang family reacts, they must think that your girl is extroverted."

Wang smiled indifferently: "Husband's words are still too tactful, they probably think I'm a picky person."

On the other side, Mrs. Zheng was angry in the room: "I said how she was perfunctory to me that day! It turned out that she was on the way of Princess Jin! Hmph, what kind of coal stove and briquette business did she get for nothing? When everyone else is blind?"

Wang Ren always likes to turn walnuts when he is thinking. He watched his wife lose his temper, but he sighed in his heart: After all, Mrs. Zheng’s vision is too small. up...

I heard that Mrs. Zheng was still complaining endlessly.

Wang Ren coughed: "What's the use of talking about it now? Outsiders have absolutely no evidence to prove that the things the Hu family is selling now are taught by the King of Jin." Who told you women to go to the plum blossom feast of Princess Jin? Vegetables with no value at all?

……

The sale of briquettes and coal stoves by the Hu family is just a small disturbance in Bingzhou, and they are not doing this to make money.After all, these two things are easy to imitate. After a while, they will be all over the street. There are also poor families who have craftsmen in their own homes.

So what exactly did the Hu family get?

Fame!

For the time being, Bingzhou Fengyun has nothing to do with His Royal Highness Jin Wang and his wife, because they were ordered to enter Chang'an and go there for the New Year.
