Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 210
It probably took Qin Tian another day to finish the swimming pool in the Ninth Princess's Mansion.

After the swimming pool is done, you only need to add water in it. With the charcoal burning outside, the water here will be kept at a certain temperature, just like a hot spring.

After Qin Tian finished working in the Princess Mansion, he was already a bit tired.

This job is not easy to do, and the key point is that there is no pay, which is really frustrating.

However, Qin Tian was somewhat relieved to think that after the Ninth Princess was settled, he could finally rest.

But just when Qin Tian thought so, many dignitaries in Chang'an City approached him one after another.

The kang is no longer a secret in Chang'an City, especially after Cheng Yaojin has it, it is even less likely to become a secret.

Cheng Yaojin is a person who likes to show off very much. He has a kang in his house, so how can he do it without showing off?

As soon as Cheng Yaojin showed off, all the dignitaries in Chang'an City knew about it.

Therefore, regardless of whether they have a good relationship with Qin Tian or not, they all rushed in at once.

"Master Qin, please trouble your craftsman to come to my house. As long as the kang is ready, the price is not a problem."

"Master Qin, go to my house first, I came first."

"I bid high..."

"I'm not low either..."

Everyone fought back and forth in the Qin Mansion, Qin Tian saw that it was profitable, and liked it, so he immediately organized the two groups of kang craftsmen in the mansion to prepare them for a big fight.

The people who came registered at the Qin Mansion in order, and they all called for a deposit. After that, the two groups of people started to work on the kang in order.

Although the heated kang is simple, many procedures cannot be sloppy, so one group of people can do up to three houses a day, and two people can do six houses a day, which is very slow.

Qin Tian took a look at the people who came to register. There were as many as a hundred or so families. It took almost a month to finish this. At that time, winter was almost over.

And if there is no accident, more and more people will come to register.

If it's winter and these people's kangs haven't been done yet, it will be a bad thing.

This is a good opportunity to make money. Qin Tian wondered if he should train a few more batches of craftsmen, so that the efficiency is high, the speed is fast, and the money will be more.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian felt that it was too necessary.

So there is such a preparation.

And just as Qin Tian was making such preparations, it was the morning of the court, and a group of officials chatted with each other.

"Go, go, find a restaurant to drink."

"Don't go, those restaurants are very cold, if you want to drink, you'd better go to my house, sit on the kang, it's really warm, and have an altar of drunken beauties, it will be perfect."

"Oh, Mr. Zhang's kang is ready. Then we have to go to Mr. Zhang's house to drink. My family's queue is until the day after tomorrow. I'm really anxious."

"Haha, take your time, the day after tomorrow will be soon, and when you really sleep on the heated kang, you will know that the heated kang is ready."

"That's, that's, I won't be frozen anymore..."

When a group of officials said this, Prince Li Jiancheng walked over with a few of his subordinates. Li Jiancheng's expression was ashen when he heard these people's conversation, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

After he returned to the East Palace, he was very angry.

"Damn it, Qin Tian is in the limelight again. We can use the rain house in summer and the kang in winter. Now everyone can't do without him. Damn it, hate it..."

Li Jiancheng angrily picked up a glass of wine and took a sip. After drinking the wine, he realized that it was Qin Tian's drunken beauty. He liked this wine very much, but at this time, he was so angry that he opened his mouth and spit out the wine again. come out.

"Disgusting, disgusting..."

Li Jiancheng cursed, and suddenly felt chills all over his body. Thinking of what the officials said about the kang, he felt more and more cold in his room, and it was uncomfortably cold.

"It would be great if I could use the kang myself. I heard that there are swimming pools and hot springs..." Li Jiancheng thought to himself, but after thinking about it, he became troubled.

Others can go to Qin Tian to build their own rain house, can his prince do it?

It would be too embarrassing to go to Qin Tian, ​​which he absolutely cannot accept.

If you don't go to him, how can you build a kang?

It sounds like that thing is quite simple, but it is also very sophisticated in many places. Send people to other officials' homes to study it. Even if the research is thorough, the technology is also proficient. I'm afraid it will be next year?
Thinking about it, Li Jiancheng called Song Gongqing over and told Song Gongqing his thoughts.

After Song Gongqing heard about the heated kang, he was also very yearning, but the prince didn't ask, and he didn't dare to say yes. Now seeing that the prince coincides with him, he is very happy.

"If the prince really wants to use the kang, it's not difficult. You just need to find someone from the Ministry of Industry."

"Ministry of Industry?"

Song Gongqing nodded: "The kang is beneficial to the common people. This technology should still be shared."

What Song Gongqing said, Li Jiancheng immediately understood, so without hesitation, he quickly sent someone to call Lu Feng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry is the least significant of the six ministries. Although the official positions of the six ministers are similar, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is inferior to other ministers.

Therefore, Lu Feng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was somewhat flattered to be summoned by the prince.

"Chen Lu Feng pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. I don't know why His Royal Highness has announced that the next official is here?"

Li Jiancheng told Lu Feng about the situation, and after listening to it, Lu Feng didn't think there was any problem, so he agreed immediately.

After Lu Feng accepted, he went straight into the palace.

In the imperial study room, Li Yuan had just finished his lunch and was about to take a nap. At this moment, the eunuch ran over: "Your Majesty, Minister of Industry, Lu Fenglu, please see me?"

"What is he doing here at this time?" Li Yuan was puzzled, but let Lu Feng in anyway.

After Lu Feng came in, Li Yuan asked, "Lu Aiqing is here at this time, but what's the matter?"

It was really strange for Lu Feng to come at this time because he just came to the morning court. If there is something to do, he should say it in the morning court.

Lu Fengdao: "Your Majesty, I came here to ask His Majesty for his approval."

"What's the matter?"

"Recently Lord Qin invented the heated kang fire. I think that the heated kang is beneficial to the common people and should not be enjoyed by only a few people. Therefore, I want to ask the emperor to allow Mr. Qin to hand over the technology of the heated kang to the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, which is beneficial to the technology. The inheritance is also conducive to the spread of kang in my Tang Dynasty."

Many technologies will be passed down in different forms, some are taught to apprentices, so that they are passed on from generation to generation, and some are directly recorded and passed on to future generations.

These are some methods that are very helpful to future generations. If it weren't for these, many civilizations and technologies in China would be even more faulty.

All dynasties have also supported the inheritance and dissemination of culture and technology. If the kang can be spread to all parts of the Tang Dynasty, the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty will be much easier, right?

But after listening to Lu Feng's words, Li Yuan frowned slightly with a look of embarrassment on his face.
