Datang Coroner

Chapter 1781 Be Bold

It snowed all night, but it didn't pile up, and the air wasn't dry and cold enough for it to melt on the ground.

The next morning, it was wet everywhere, and occasionally there was a little residual snow on the leaves, which were also crumbling.

As soon as Fu Shiyi got out of bed, he shivered: "So cold?"

The cat slave patted her tail lazily, raised her head to look at her, and lay flat on the quilt again.

It's just that the look in his eyes is indeed like caring for the mentally retarded.

Fu Shiyi rubbed his arms and sighed quietly: "It would be great if there was heating."

There is no heating, and it would be nice to have a kang——

Wait, Kang?

Fu Shiyi developed rich associations: There is central heating in the north, so how does the south survive the winter?How did you survive the winter without heating?
Well, besides the kang, there is also a kind of stove that can be burned in the house, with a stove and a chimney——

If you use a chimney, it means that maybe carbon dioxide poisoning can be less!
When the inspiration comes, the cold is not worth mentioning.

Fu Shiyi dressed quickly, not caring about putting on his shoes, so he went to find a pen and paper to draw a picture.

For ordinary people, kang is the most practical.

After all, that kind of metal stove is quite expensive.

Especially in this age of relying entirely on manpower, metal products are simply luxury goods.

Moreover, the manufacture of the stove is estimated to be complicated and requires some delicate designs. She is just a sketch, and if she wants to perfect it, she will definitely not be able to come out within a few months.

Therefore, Fu Shiyi took Kang as the first practical goal.

In this year, there is already a kang.

It's just that it's only used in those places in the Northeast. I don't know if it has flowed into the Central Plains.

When Li Changbo came over, Fu Shiyi hadn't come down from downstairs yet.

This is a rare thing. After thinking for a while, Li Changbo went over and knocked on the door: "Miss Fu?"

Yan Niang felt a little inappropriate: "Magistrate Li is a man after all—"

Manniang smiled and said: "They are about to get married, and we don't know how Li County Magistrate is? But our little lady—"

Yanniang silently swallowed the rest of the words.

When Fu Shi opened the door, he felt an itchy nose and couldn't help but sneezed.

As soon as the door opened, Li Changbo's concerned eyes came over: "Did you catch the cold because of the wind blowing yesterday?"

Fu Shiyi rubbed the tip of his nose: "Maybe just now."

But this kind of thing, don't worry!She excitedly pulled Li Changbo in to look at her result map: "Magistrate Li, have you seen this thing?"

Li Changbo leaned over to take a look, but he didn't move his eyes away.

"The surrounding room is made of wood for the bed, the fire is under it, and the food and living are above it." He murmured a sentence he had read in a travel book, and the things in his imagination gradually overlapped with the things in Fu Shiyi's sketch. .

It's just that it took a little effort to identify the word: "Kang?"

"Well, heated kang." Fu Shiyi smiled and recalled the kang he had seen when he was traveling: "One end is a pot for cooking, and then it is made into a pipe with mud, and then a high bed is made of earth bricks. It is hollow inside. Used to retain heat. Sleeps on top—just kind of useless.”

Li Changbo stared closely at the drawing, and said the disadvantages in one sentence: "If they are connected together, there may be smoke in the house. And if the charcoal fire is too expensive, ordinary people may not be able to burn it."

Fu Shiyi sighed helplessly: "Yes. But it is also cheaper than cotton clothes. The firewood burns for a long time, so that it can not only keep warm, but also ensure that there is always a hot water supply. In fact, it would be easier to build a dormitory - Datong The bunks are separated by straw curtains, and each person has a small room, which can save a lot of trouble."

"If there are people who need relief, that's the case." Li Changbo said in a deep voice: "As for ordinary people's homes, it depends on their own wishes."

"By the way, I figured out another thing." Fu Shiyi showed another picture to Li Changbo.

Li Changbo looked at the blocks spliced ​​together one by one, and fell silent: What is this?
"This is called a floor tile." Fu Shiyi began to introduce enthusiastically: "The wooden floor is too expensive, and it is not easy to take care of. If you use tiles that have been fired into cubes and put them together to cover the floor - it is not only beautiful , clean and will be well taken care of!"

Li Changbo looked at those floor tiles and those seemingly symmetrical patterns on them, but actually very... unknown patterns, and fell silent again.

Of course, he still has to admit that this thing is a bit interesting.There is also an opportunity to make money - it is estimated that once it is done, those nobles will flock to it.

"Compared with bluestone bricks, this is a lot less troublesome. And they are almost strong. The key is, you can add flowers during production!" Fu Shiyi lowered his voice: "Why don't we go to King Min County and start a partnership together? Kiln mouth?"

Specialized in floor tiles!Floor tiles don't require too much technology, just use molds!Mass production is no problem!Thinking of this one by one, Fu Shiyi only felt that his heart was burning hot.

Li Changbo thought for a moment, and felt that Fu Shiyi still thought too little.

He lowered his voice and dealt with him: "Let's go directly to His Majesty."

Fu Shiyi blinked his eyes: "Isn't it too dishonest for the official kiln to do this?"

Li Changbo shook his head: "Your Majesty will not use official kilns to do this, but official kilns have the best technology."

Fu Shiyi felt that she understood, she looked at Li Changbo in shock: "This--a white wolf with empty gloves?"

Li Changbo smiled, and raised the blueprint in his hand: "Your Majesty will definitely reward you with golden pancakes."

Fu Shi nodded: "It makes sense."

But I still have to talk to His Majesty later, and I have to find an opportunity to talk to His Majesty about the kang.

Before returning to reality, I sneezed solidly, and then felt cold.

She didn't feel warmer until she wrapped herself in her padded jacket: "Why do you feel so cold all of a sudden."

"The snow has melted, so it must be cold." Li Changbo took Fu Shiyi's hand naturally: "Go down and have a bowl of hot soup."

It's just that after drinking the hot soup, Fu Shiyi obviously didn't get better. After arriving at the Yamen, she started to have a stuffy nose.

In the yamen, many people put on furs.

Mrs. You also came, to deliver clothes to Wei Baolian.

It was cold outside, and it would only get colder in the dungeon.

And in the dungeon, there is no separate brazier for them, so it will only be more tormenting.

Mrs. You also gave Li Changbo a generous gift.

This generous gift is very affordable, directly ten sheep.

Mrs. You is very honest: "It's such a cold day, eat some mutton to get rid of the cold. Let's keep warm together."

Li Changbo smiled: "We will also have hot soup at Miss Wei's place."

Mrs. You nodded: "This matter is estimated to be finished in two days. When the time comes, I will pick him up and leave, so I won't cause any trouble to the Yamen."

"No trouble, no trouble." Master Xie was so enthusiastic that he almost went up to shake hands: "Young lady is really polite."

Mrs. You smiled all over her face: "I also stayed in the military camp. This terrible weather is suitable for roasting and eating meat. I will ask someone to bring it later."

Master Xie personally accompanied Mrs. You to the dungeon.

Mrs. You brought a leather jacket and a sheepskin blanket.
