The princess is a man of science

Although Liu Wenxi disliked the adobe houses in Pingcheng at the beginning, but now weighing the pros and cons, they still want to build adobe houses.This kind of house usually uses stone or brick as the foundation stone, on which the sun-dried adobe is placed, and then cemented with mud.In this era, the construction scope of adobe houses is very wide, because the raw materials are easy to get, just dig the soil on the ground.

The walls of adobe houses are generally very thick, the space inside the house is relatively small, and the windows are small, so the interior is generally dark.But because of the thick walls, the house has good thermal insulation performance, warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very suitable for the current conditions.

Most of the houses in Pingcheng are made of adobe, while the ones in Baicheng are more advanced, and most of them are built with blue bricks and wood.

The winter in Liaodong is extremely cold, and it seems that there are two ways to keep warm in the palace.There are fire passages in the underground of the Wangfu, and there are fire walls between the rooms. One has a mezzanine at the bottom, and the other has an empty space in the middle of the wall. When a fire is lit in winter, the hot air fills the mezzanine, and the room is warmed up.

However, underground fire passages cannot be built in places other than the palace, and almost all use fire walls and heated kangs.The fire wall is connected to the stove, the middle is empty, and it communicates with the chimney. When the stove is lit, the fire wall will heat up, and the stove can also be used to boil water or cook.

When cooking with a pot, you can heat the kang, put the two sides together, and add the outer wall to keep warm, so it will be warm in winter.

The current coal mining technology is still relatively backward, and what can be developed are shallow coal mines, almost all of which are used for industrial purposes, such as iron smelting and glass manufacturing.Farmers use local materials to burn straw, and they also go to the forest to pick up dry wood to burn.In Liaodong, private logging is prohibited, and trees are only cut down when opening up wasteland.

There are also people in the city who burn charcoal to sell, but the price is relatively expensive, which means that the rich can afford it.Ordinary people have to save fuel in their homes. It is difficult to keep themselves warm in winter.

The raw material of the adobe house is loess. Although Liaodong is full of black soil, it is actually just a layer of black soil. If you dig the black soil layer to a certain depth, you will see the loess below.The loess is strong in uprightness, so it is needed for drying adobe.

Those who came to dig the soil today, three or five gathered together to dig the soil.

"Everything is first come, first served. Those who come early will have a ready-made house to live in." A middle-aged man said, without stopping.

"There's nothing wrong with living in the village. We can't live in Baicheng. Pingcheng is so strictly controlled that we can't go out at night." A young man said, digging up the black soil on the surface with a shovel.

They dug out the loess, and some people trimmed the soil into adobes and took them to dry, and they can be used when they are dry.

The two people who spoke just now were also newcomers, and they were arranged in a nearby village.They talked about the benefits of living outside, but many people were still unconvinced.However, because there were people from Pingcheng and Baicheng working together, those who felt unfair did not speak up, so as not to offend others.

The one who wanted to sow discord heard what they said, and knew that if he continued to sow discord, he would definitely attract people's attention. It would be bad if he was caught by the government, so he shut up and pretended that he hadn't said anything.

Everyone was silent for a while, immersed in their work, and waited for a while before someone spoke again.

"Isn't Baicheng fully occupied yet?" This person's pronunciation was awkward, causing a few people around to turn their heads to look, and they saw that it was a Silla person.Ordinary Qi people, foreigners and Silla people have different physical characteristics, which can be distinguished with the naked eye.The people of Qi didn't like the people of Silla either. They didn't forget how the people of Silla helped the people of Xianbei beat them, so they ignored him and continued to work.

But the aliens didn't have this idea, and someone took care of the man.

"If you want to live in Baicheng, you have to be rich." The man who spoke was tall, and when most people were malnourished and short in stature, he stood out in the crowd, and it was Mo Zexu whoever he was.

Mo Zexu didn't leave, and spent money to live in Baicheng because of the clan's choice.He didn't want to live, but as the head of the clan, he couldn't be with the clansmen, even if he gave the clan to Mo Chong.After discussing with Mo Chong for a long time, he finally made up his mind to move all the clansmen to Baicheng together and still live together. Even if they come to farm, they are still members of the tribe.

Before coming to Liaodong, Mo Chong didn't quite know what Mo Zexu was thinking. After knowing that he intended to take revenge, he talked with him a lot in private.Mo Chong discussed the pros and cons with his cousin. The reason why he stayed here was not because of Shu Jin, but because they could farm here and afford food.Their children can go to school, and if they learn well in the future, they can become officials in Liaodong, and they may take the imperial examination and go to the capital. Isn't it better than staying in the mountains?

And living here is also very convenient on weekdays. They no longer need to exchange a lot of dried meat and animal skins for so little salt and cloth. The premature mortality rate is extremely low, and their tribe can grow rapidly.In addition to these, there are many other benefits.

As for the previous hatred for the Qi people, it was really unnecessary, and the Qi people did not target them. It was the Xianbei people who really brought them ruin.

Mo Zexu also understood these principles, but the Xianbei people have been driven out, and he may never see them again in this life, and he will have no way of revenge.Having lost his favorite son, Mo Zexu once wondered whether he would die too, because he survived only by hatred.

He was very quiet during this time, did nothing, in fact there was nothing to do, the clansmen were all instigated, they thought less than themselves, although there was hatred, but as Mo Chong said, the more important thing is live.

He had a fight when he heard that the man from Silla had come, so he got in touch with him when he was asking a question.During the lunch break, the two got together and said something, and the Silla man was very grateful to him.

Maybe Mo Zexu has learned a lesson because of the previous incident. Although he struck up a conversation with people, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary. He just got in touch with Silla people and promised to bring them some city food supplies.

Now that there are more and more people in Liaodong, some people have moved their minds and wanted to do some business.The food and other things in the city are officially supplied, but other odds and ends are also used.There are some people who start trading while farming. Of course, the government supports their idea and gives them certain preferential policies.

"This cake can also be sold by people." Shu Jin picked up a piece of cake with chopsticks and said.He prefers fried cakes dipped in brown sugar juice. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet but not greasy, and delicious.

"Okay." Liu Wenxi nodded. For this kind of business, you can just get a small car. If it is impossible, you don't need a car on your back.The people in the city may not be able to afford it for the time being, but there are still many officials in the palace, and they have no place to spend their salaries on weekdays. It is time to give them some opportunities to spend money.

"During the slack season, we can also organize women to make some gadgets and sell them for money, or can we spin cloth?" Liu Wenxi was a little suspicious. Liaodong does not raise silkworms or produce cotton, so it seems inconvenient to spin cloth.

Shu Jin didn't speak, he was also thinking about what he could make and sell on weekdays.At home, his mother and sister also make some female reds, embroider some handkerchiefs and sachets, and sometimes make some clothes.

"Is it possible to grow flax?" Liu Wenxi suddenly thought of flax. It stands to reason that this thing can be grown in Liaodong. Today's poor people wear more linen clothes than cotton, and it has a wide range of applications.

"Let them study and study." Shu Jin said, "We can look at this matter again, and everyone can do what they need, without our intervention and let them play by themselves."

"Alright." Liu Wenxi suddenly realized that his thinking seemed to be still in the planned economy, obviously he was a person from the era of market economy.Sure enough, when a person stands in a high position, it is easy to be independent, want to do everything, and want to plan everything for everyone.

It seems that in the future, it is better to take care less and give full play to the power of the masses, so that he can spare time to do other things.

They continued chatting, today's rice cakes were delicious, and Song Yu came over halfway through eating.

"Your sister-in-law said in a letter that she would bring your nieces here in two months. I'm not at ease. Why don't you go pick them up?" Song Yu entered the door and saw Song Yang, so she didn't rush to find Shu Jin, and grabbed Song Yang directly.Song Yang asked someone to report to Shu Jin, and then followed him.

"I can't let it go in the palace." Song Yang's answer was very simple and neat.

"Seeing that you are not young anymore, it's time to marry a wife. Your sister-in-law also said that she has a crush on a few girls. Why don't you communicate with her first and get married as soon as possible." Song Yu was used to this younger brother's indifference, It just so happened that he could talk a little more, and Song Yang wouldn't let him shut up.

"Not interested." Song Yang replied.

"Song Yang, brother, tell me honestly, do you also like men like the prince?" Song Yu immediately became anxious when he heard that he was not interested. Song Yang was no younger than Shu Jin, and he himself He was about to bring his wife over to give birth to a second child, why is Song Yang still not interested in girls?

"I'm not interested in men either." Song Yang felt that he still had to explain, "I'm not interested in getting married for the time being."

"That's good. At worst, wait a few more years." Song Yu felt relieved. He didn't expect that he was actually tricked by Song Yang. He was supposed to urge the marriage, but now he was very relieved to hear that he didn't like men.

"Then the prince is not going to have a child, or is he going to adopt one from the third prince... But if the third prince becomes a prince, this matter will not be easy." Song Yu began to worry about Shu Jin's heir. There must always be an heir, otherwise when he and Liu Wenxi are gone, who will take over Liaodong?

"Can men have children?" Song Yang asked suddenly.

"You're a man, can you give birth?" Song Yu laughed out loud. It's unheard of for a man to give birth to a child.

"I can't give birth, but I read a book before saying that there are men who can give birth." Song Yang rarely said a few words.

"Brother, don't read those messy books. A man's childbirth is a story fabricated by others. There is no such part in his body. How can he be pregnant?" Song Yu laughed casually, but Song Yang fell into deep thought. This book is not fabricated.
