Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

The east and west new urban areas have been planned since August, and construction will start in September. It is planned to be completed within three years.Accustomed to the speed of infrastructure construction madman, Xiao Yu felt that this time span was a bit long, after all, he was only building a house on flat land.

But thinking about today's productivity and production tools, you can only recognize it. After all, in the era when everything is manual and manpower, any large-scale project can only be polished slowly with time.

Whenever he has free time, Xiao Yu will go to the construction site to inspect the progress and see if there is any place to improve the technology and efficiency.

Unexpectedly, he was really useful, so he called Wang Juan, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, and instructed him to use pulleys to move building materials such as bricks and wood to high places.

Wang Juan tried to make a pulley, and it was labor-saving and efficient.He admired Xiao Yu even more, His Majesty really knew everything, he was an omnipotent god.

Under Xiao Yu's guidance, he continued to improve the pulleys and made a more labor-saving and more usable pulley block.He continued to increase the number of pulleys, but found that when the number increased to a certain extent, it would be better to have fewer and more labor-saving.

This was very puzzling to him, so he went to ask Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu said: "It may be that too many pulleys increase the resistance between the rope and the pulley."

Wang Juan nodded: "This is probably too much."

The use of pulley blocks has been vigorously promoted in the construction of new cities. Xiao Yu hopes that its use can improve efficiency and shorten the construction period.

However, some things are not as good as the sky. The weather in Guangzhou, which has always been warm, is a bit abnormal this year. After entering November, there are often strong winds and rainy weather, which makes Xiao Yu feel the coldness that he has not experienced for a long time.

If the weather is bad, the construction site will naturally have to stop work and rest.The people also warmed up at home behind closed doors to resist the severe cold, because Guangzhou has not promoted cotton planting on a large scale like Yazhou, and only a small number of places have popularized cotton.

Xiao Yu had just solved the problem of people's hunger, and immediately faced the test of dressing warmly.He had to order people to transport the unspun cotton from Yazhou to Guangzhou and sell it to the people for sewing cotton-padded jackets and quilts.Although it is a drop in the bucket, there are some things that can be improved.

Next year, cotton planting must be popularized throughout Guangzhou and Jiaozhou, and every family must plant some to solve the problem of clothing and quilts.

The door of the study was pushed open with a creak, bringing in a gust of cold wind.

Xiao Yu, who was correcting the memorial, raised his head, looked at Pei Rinzhi who was wearing a cloak and armor, and hurriedly greeted him: "Is it cold? Hurry up and warm yourself by the fire." The weather was so cold that people could exhale heat when speaking, and he reckoned that the temperature was close to zero. up.

Pei Linzhi walked over with big strides and put his big palms on the charcoal basin to warm the fire.Xiao Yu looked at the back of his hand that was turning blue from the cold, and held his hand with his own, it really looked like ice.

Feeling the warmth of Xiao Yu's palm, Pei Linzhi quickly withdrew his hand for fear of freezing him: "It's okay, I'll just roast it."

Xiao Yu untied his cloak and armor for him: "I haven't felt this cold for a long time, it won't be snowing."

Pei Linzhi said, "Maybe. Isn't it cold?" He reached out and touched Xiao Yu's rabbit fur coat.

Xiao Yu shook his head: "It's not cold. I'm wearing a cotton coat inside and a rabbit fur jacket outside. It's warm." He took off Pei Linzhi's cloak and armor and put them on the floor.

"The soldiers don't have padded jackets, can they bear it?" The weather in Guangzhou is warm, and the quilts Xiao Yu prepared for the soldiers in the army are not enough to withstand the severe cold.

"It doesn't matter. When it's not raining, let them practice. It won't be cold when they move. When it rains, they can warm up in the barracks."

"Then you must do a good job of ventilation, and beware of charcoal poisoning."

"I have warned you."

At this time the door was knocked again, Xiao Yao's voice sounded outside the door: "Brother Huang!"

Xiao Yu said, "Come in."

Xiao Yao opened the door and came in, yelling: "Wow, I'm freezing to death. It's snowing in Shixing, I didn't expect it to snow in Guangzhou."

"Hurry up and enjoy the fire." Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yao, "Is it really snowing in Shixing? Is it too big?"

"It's quite big. I started to download it yesterday afternoon. When I set off, it was already an inch deep. I didn't expect that Panyu didn't download it." Xiao Yao was in charge of building the Dayuling checkpoint in Shixing County.

"It's so cold, has the project stopped?" Xiao Yu was a little worried about the soldiers and captives who built the checkpoint in Dayuling. Although they were all captives, they were human beings, so it was impossible to ignore them.

"Stop it, how do you dig such a heavy snow. I came back to ask the emperor for instructions. The Dayuling checkpoint will be completed in a few days at most. Do you need to complete it now?" Xiao Yao asked.

Xiao Yu and Pei Linzhi looked at each other, and said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, the attack on the north has to be slow. Our preparations are not sufficient, and we don't have cotton-padded quilts, so we can't fight this battle. We need to plant cotton on a large scale next year. OK."

Xiao Yao asked: "Is the level still repaired?"

Pei Linzhi said: "I won't fix it for now, so as not to raise Xiao Yi's vigilance too early. I think it's better to get through it before sending troops, and kill him by surprise."

Xiao Yu nodded: "I agree with Linzhi's point of view."

Xiao Yao frowned: "If we don't build roads, what about those prisoners?"

Xiao Yu said: "Let's farm the land, and cultivate wasteland in Shixing County. The main thing is to grow cotton. Now those naval prisoners don't have cotton jackets and quilts. It's so cold, how do you arrange them?"

Xiao Yao said: "What can we do? It's better to put on everything we can wear, then warm up the fire, and cover it with straw at night. We don't have so many fur coats. Don't worry about them. It's not the first time that we are exposed to the cold. No matter how cold it is in Guangzhou, it will not be colder than their own home."

Xiao Yu thinks so, even if the Anguo Army can distribute leather jackets to the soldiers, most of the soldiers don't have fur jackets at home to keep out the cold before they enter the barracks. all winter.

There is a reason for the small population and short life expectancy in ancient times. The conditions are so difficult, and it is not easy to survive the severe winter.

Therefore, it is imminent to promote cotton planting.

At night, Xiao Yu was lying on the bed with a thick straw mat under the mat and a silk quilt made in Yazhou, which was very soft and warm.

At the beginning, the attendants wanted to spread cotton quilts for him, but he refused. The common people didn’t have any quilts, so how could he still put cotton quilts.

So all the people in the palace matted straw to keep warm like ordinary people, and gave cotton mattresses to some poor and sick families in the city to help them survive this cold winter.

Hundreds of officials in the court heard that the emperor slept on straw mats, so how could they dare to put quilts and furs on them?

Xiao Yu stretched out his hand to touch A Ping who was sleeping between him and Pei Lin. It was cold these few days, and A Ping slept with them.

"It's so cold tonight, I think it's going to snow."

Pei Linzhi stretched out his arm and touched Xiao Yu's body: "You are a little cold, come to sleep, I will warm you up. Carry Ah Ping inside."

"Forget it, don't freeze Ah Ping." Although Xiao Yu yearned for Pei Linzhi's warm embrace, he was still reluctant to let Ah Ping suffer from the cold.

Pei Linzhi couldn't help but get up and put A Ping, who was already asleep, on the innermost side: "I'll hug you, you hug him, it won't freeze."

The next moment, Xiao Yu was hugged into a warm embrace, and his cold feet were also caught between Pei Linzhi's legs.He smiled and hugged Ah Ping in his arms. There were heaters in the front and back, so his body was not to mention how warm it was.The happiest thing is this.

When he woke up the next day, Xiao Yu opened his eyes. Pei Linzhi was gone, and the small heater in his arms was also awake. woke up!"

"Morning Ah Ping." Xiao Yu kissed his chubby cheek.

Ji Hai's voice sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, it's snowing." The voice was a little bit excited.

"Ah? Is it snowing? Is it big?" Xiao Yu sat up excitedly. In his impression, except for the northernmost mountainous area, other areas in Guangdong never snowed. He didn't expect it to happen to him.

"It's not small, the ground is all white." Ji Hai also saw snow for the first time in his life, and felt it was very fresh and magical.

Xiao Yu hurriedly put on his clothes, put on the leather jacket, and then put on the cotton padded jacket for A Ping, and the father and son got up quickly and went out to watch the snow.Open the door, ho!The eyes are white, a thin layer of snow has fallen in the yard, and the snow on the roof is thicker, all white.

Aping shouted excitedly: "Wow, a lot of salt!"

Xiao Yu smiled: "Silly boy, it's not salt, it's snow." He couldn't hide his excitement and went to the yard, squatted down, and swept up a ball of snow on the ground, which was balled in the palm of his hand. He no longer remembered how many snow balls there were. I haven't seen snow in this year, and I don't have the impression that it snowed a few times in my previous life.

Aping also came over curiously: "Daddy, what is snow like?"

"Just try it and you'll know." Xiao Yu said.

A Ping squatted down and grabbed some: "It's cool, it's so fun!"

At this time, there was a sound of laughing and joking in the front yard. It was the teenagers in the family playing, and they were also a group of teenagers who had never seen snow.Ah Ping ran out when he heard the sound, and everyone was having a snowball fight in the front yard, noisy and excited, and the little guy joined in.

When Pei Linzhi came back from outside, his head was a little wet and steaming. It looked like he had just come back from practice.

Pei Linzhi looked at Xiao Yu walking slowly in the snow like a child, leaving a series of shallow footprints. It could be seen that he liked it very much. It seems that it is right to ask everyone to leave him such a yard of snow. of.

Xiao Yu looked up at him: "Rinzhi, it's snowing!"

Pei Linzhi walked towards him: "Yes, do you like it?"

Xiao Yu showed a tangled expression on his face: "I like it very much, but snow means cold, poor people suffer a lot."

Pei Linzhi sighed helplessly. His Majesty, who is concerned about the country and the people, always thinks about his people first: "Your Majesty just thought of a way to solve the problem of hunger for everyone, and has not had time to solve the problem of clothing. If you really can't make it through In the past, it can only be regarded as God’s will.”

Xiao Yu nodded. There are some things that he really can't do. It's not that he doesn't want to help, but that God doesn't give him time: "It's snowing in Panyu, what do you think will happen in the north? Those barbarians who live by water and grass still have grass for them." Do cows and horses eat it?"

Pei Linzhi frowned: "It seems that the north is about to become unstable again. In this way, Xiao Yi will start to deal with barbarians and has no time to take care of us."

"Yes, it's good news for us, but it's a disaster for the people of An Guo." Xiao Yu sighed. When productivity is low, human beings are too vulnerable to natural disasters.
