The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 124 Mr. Xi, What a Fantastic Idea!

"The weather this year is indeed a bit colder than in previous years."

"These charcoals are not burnt!"

Within the Xuchang Government Office.

Cao Cao stretched out his hands to roast the fire raised with charcoal, looked at the heavy snow falling outside the hall, and couldn't help saying something.

Xun Yu next to him seemed to think of something when he heard the words.

"My lord, as Yi said before, stone nirvana can be burned for heating, but it seems that this thing is very widespread in the two prefectures of Hebei and Hebei."

"Shi Nie? Jizhou!"

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard the sound, then raised his eyebrows.

"That's what Feng Yi said, so it's true!"

"I will write a letter to Yuan Benchu ​​immediately!"

It was snowing heavily in Xuchang, and the weather was getting colder and colder. After Dezhi Xiyu said that Shi Nie could be burned for warmth, Cao Cao immediately wrote to Yuan Shao, intending to exchange Shi Nie.

In this regard, Cao Cao exchanged paper, grain and grass, etc., and Yuan Shao readily agreed.

A few days later, a large amount of black stone nirvana was transported from Jizhou to Xuchang.

Knowing that Cao Cao had obtained a large amount of coal from Yuan Shao, Xi Yu rushed to Jiang's workshop immediately.

The coal that is mined directly at the moment can be burned directly.

But if this thing is directly burned, it is somewhat wasteful in the current era.

For the next few days, Xi Yu was kept in prison.

"I heard that Feng Yi has been staying in Jiang Zuo's prison recently?
How to make this stone nirvana carefully, hasn't he already taught those general master craftsmen? "

Inside the Xuchang government office, seeing that Xi Yu was not present, Cao Cao took the initiative to ask Xun Yu beside him.

The Shi Nie obtained from Jizhou is really good. After the treatment that Xi Yu said, the temperature is much higher than that of charcoal.

Today, the entire Xuchang field, including the Han Palace, has basically started to burn with stone nirvana instead of charcoal.

That guy Yuan Benchu ​​occupies a good place!

"I do know what Feng Yi is doing!"

Hearing Cao Cao's question, Xun Yu subconsciously responded with a smile.

Xi Yu has done a lot of research on inkworkers, and Xun Yu has been very clear about this from the Quyuanli and waterwheel incidents back then.

"Oh, let's hear it!"

Cao Cao was a little curious.

In his opinion, Xi Yu has just been newly married, so it's normal not to come to the government office to attend, after all, there are two beautiful wives at home!
However, since he didn't come to attend, didn't stay at home, and stayed in the general prison all the time, Cao Cao couldn't understand it.

Isn't Shi Nie's matter already resolved?
What is the reason for staying in prison?
"I heard from Feng Yi that he wanted to warm the house for some kind of floor heating, once and for all, without having to regenerate the fire in the future!"

Ok?
Underfloor heating?

Feng Yi is researching this. In such a cold winter, how can it be possible to keep warm at home without lighting a fire?

"Wen Ruo, there's nothing important this time, why don't we go to the general supervisor to see what Feng Yi is doing?"

Cao Cao was a little curious.

Of course, he was very clear about Xi Yu's abilities.

Let him think about the Quyuanli and the waterwheel, but he can't figure it out. Naturally, he can't figure out the floor heating right now.

However, since I can't figure it out, fortunately, I might as well go and see it directly.

If it is really possible to not have to light a fire, it is a must to get a set for your own house.

In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, just relying on the fire to keep warm, it was still a bit cold after all.

Even though the charcoal has been replaced by stone nirvana, the fire can't be placed by the bed!

Xun Yu did not refuse Cao Cao's intention.

Now that the New Year is approaching, there is not much to do in Xuchang.

Originally, I was worried about the high price of charcoal in the cold winter, but now because of Shi Nie, it is almost resolved.

The refined stone nirvana has now been sold in various places in Yanzhou starting from Xuchang.

Even ordinary people can hoard some stone nirvana at home.

The two walked out of the government office together, and walked towards Xuchang's general prisoner all the way.

Soon.

After arriving at Jiangzuo Prison, it was discovered that Xi Yu was not here this time.

After asking the guards on duty, Cao Cao and the two knew that Xi Yu had led a group of general supervisors to his home early the day before yesterday.

In the theater house at this time.

The ground in the entire theater hall has been dug up, and strange-shaped iron pipes have been buried in the ground following Xi Yu's command.

Xi Zhicai on the side was a little dazed.

"Ayu, can this thing really warm up the room?"

After the cold winter came, Xi Zhicai discovered that his younger brother had been researching strange things at home a lot during this time.

Now, even the entire prisoner is about to move to the house.

"Sir, you really have a fantastic idea!"

After Ma San, who had been promoted to be the chief supervisor, buried the pipeline, he couldn't help but open his mouth to praise.

These words, all the generals and supervisors on the side agreed very much.

These craftsmen themselves regarded the Mohists as their ancestors, although Xi Yu never admitted anything.

But these craftsmen have long regarded Xi Yu as the direct descendant of the Mo family.

"Ma San, I asked you to help make the flush toilet before?"

Taking advantage of the time when the floor heating was installed, Xi Yu casually asked Ma San who was beside him.

"Sir, it's ready. We've also finished the tap water you mentioned. Would you like to help you install it in the mansion?"

Ma San responded, and after Xi Yu nodded in agreement, the entire general prison master hurriedly started working again.

Things like running water and flush toilets have long been handy under Xi Yu's teaching.

It didn't take long for the entire theater to look brand new.

When Cao Cao arrived at the theater with Xun Yu, all the master craftsmen who would be in charge had already left.

At this moment, in the main hall of the opera house, there is a small square table in front of Xi Yu.

The main hall door was open, and there seemed to be a breeze sweeping through.

Xi Zhicai was wearing a thin shirt, which seemed to be a bit warm, even the robe on the chest was opened a little.

Xi Yu on the opposite side was also wearing a white shirt.

The two brothers sat facing each other, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei sitting cross-legged on the left and right sides respectively.

Zhao Yun was also wearing a thin shirt, while Dian Wei on the opposite side had his arms open.

On the square table, the sound of mahjong colliding can be heard endlessly.

After Cao Cao and his wife entered through the gate of the playhouse, they passed through the corridor and looked up to see the gate of the playhouse's main hall open.

In the eyes, Dian Wei's broad muscles instantly came into view.

"Wen Ruo, I read that right!"

Cao Cao was a little dazed, only a few steps away, Xi Yu and the others not far away were dressed as if they were in midsummer.

But at this moment, he was covered in fur and a cloak, and his whole body wanted to be tightly wrapped.

The wind blowing from the long pavilion was still a bit cold, and it made Cao Cao feel a little numb.

Xun Yu was also a little dazed.

It took only a moment for him to understand the situation in front of him.

Never thought that what Feng Yi said about the floor heating turned out to be true.

It's hard to say that the inside of the house is really like the warm spring in March?
The two were a little dazed. In the whole hall, the sound of four people playing mahjong had already been heard from inside.

When Cao Cao took Xun Yu to the entrance of the main hall, he clearly felt a warm wind blowing from the main hall.

The oncoming warm wind made people's brows uncontrollably stretched.

"This……"

After Cao Cao and others appeared outside the main hall, the four people in the hall naturally also noticed.

After stopping the mahjong in their hands, the four of them looked outside the hall.

Zhao Yun got up immediately to salute, and Xi Zhicai beside him also greeted with a grin.

"coming!"

Xi Yu nodded towards Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao and Xun Yu stepped into the main hall of the play without hesitation.

The warm air in the room instantly dispelled the chill from his body.

"It's really like the warm spring in March!"

Cao Cao opened his mouth and sighed, he didn't expect Xi Yu to come up with such a thing in just a few days, it's really surprising!

Xun Yu took off the cloak on his own, and sat down in the main hall without any explanation.

"I kind of understand why Feng Yi didn't go to the government office to attend these few days."

The room is so warm that even he doesn't want to go to the government office to report.

"If Fengyi doesn't dislike it, I'll have someone move the official documents into your house tomorrow!"

Xun Yu couldn't help but speak.

Cao Cao, who was on the ground, also took off the cloak on his body with this kung fu.

"Fengyi, there are such good things, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Cao Cao meant something, and Xi Yu was a little helpless when he heard this.

The underfloor heating was also made by him temporarily.

It takes a lot of time just to lay the iron pipes on the ground.

Right now, the general prisoner has only made one set, and of course there is no other one now.

According to Xi Yu's physique, he is not afraid of cold and heat at all.

Still, he is him, and others are others.

After all, such a cold winter is a bit difficult for Gan Mei, Cai Yan, Xi Zhicai and others.

For this reason, he took the time to ask Masaku to build a set of floor heating equipment.

After Cao Cao said this, Xun Yu beside him was also a little moved.

Although Xun Yu didn't really care about certain things, floor heating is a facility that can keep the house warm in winter.

Who doesn't want it?

Cao Cao felt that Xi Yu was a little unkind, and Dian Wei, who was next to Xi Yu before he could speak, couldn't help explaining.

"My lord, I heard from those general supervisors that this floor heating equipment cost my husband a lot of money!"

Before Dian Wei finished speaking, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing.

"Why, I'm a dignified Sikong, but I can't come up with some money!"

Xun Yu's expression on the side didn't change much either, the Xun family still didn't lack money.

If you can get a set of such things for only a little money, it's not too bad.

"Fong Yi, how much does this floor heating cost? Tell me the number!"

Cao Cao didn't care too much when he heard that it was just spending some money.

After saying this, Xi Yu immediately followed suit.

"Brother, it's not about money, it's just that the iron pipes needed for floor heating need to be specially made, so it costs a little money."

"Actually, it will take some time for more. Now this set will only be completed soon after being a prisoner."

"If the two elder brothers are interested, I'm afraid I'll have to contact the general prisoner, and I'll have to wait for a while!"

After listening to this explanation, Cao Cao didn't care too much.

However, the news that the opera player's cold winter is like a warm day finally got out, and even Liu Xie who was in the Han Palace knew about it.

The Han Palace in Xuchang has not yet been completed. According to the original plan, it will almost be built on the same scale as the old Luoyang Palace.

Today, there are only the Xuanshi Hall where Liu Xie lives, the Chengguang Hall of the Chaohui, and several palaces in the harem.

Even though there was a fire in the Han Palace, it was obviously a bit chilly in the cold winter.

Knowing what kind of floor heating is available in Xi's house can make the cold winter like a warm day.

Immediately, Liu Xie came straight to the opera house with Queen Fushou and his attendants.

For Emperor Liu Xie to come in person, Xi Yu was somewhat surprised.

However, although he was a little upset about who made the other party the current emperor, he couldn't refuse.

In the opera hall, after paying respects to Liu Xie, Xi Yu felt a little helpless.

The two wives of the family took the initiative to take on the responsibility of entertaining the Queen Fushou.

And with Liu Xie's arrival, not long after, the courtiers and generals of the entire opera family also increased.

Fortunately, after moving into Xu County, relying on his and Xi Zhicai's status, the land occupied by the entire opera house is not too small.

Because of Liu Xie, the main hall is about to become like a court meeting of the Han Palace.

At this moment, in the main hall.

Having placed so many cases in the past, Xi Yu handed over the chief to Liu Xie, with civil and military officials on both sides.

The officials of Cao Ying also came naturally.

Xi Yu, Cao Cao and others sat on one side, and Taiwei Yang Biao, together with the rest of the famous officials mentioned by Dong Chengyu, sat on the other side.

"I heard that this ground heating thing was researched by Xi Qing, and Xi Qing's thoughts are really eye-opening!"

Liu Xie was quite emotional, feeling that the theater's main hall was warmer than the fire in his Han Palace, so he couldn't help but open his mouth to praise.

Hearing this, before Xi Yu could respond, Dong Cheng who was below opened his mouth and began to get angry.

"It seems that Da Sinong doesn't take His Majesty seriously. Why don't you dedicate such a unique thing to His Majesty, and dare to enjoy it alone?"

Dong Cheng opened his mouth to ask for guilt, and after saying this, Xi Yu couldn't help but twitched his brows.

Cao Cao, who was sitting beside him, was also very happy.

You, Dong Cheng, are envied by yourself, but now you are talking about His Majesty's affairs, it is really disgusting.

This floor heating is only available to dramatists nowadays.

What's more, this thing was created by Feng Yi himself. Whether it is given to the emperor or not is a matter of Feng Yi. What does it have to do with you, Dong Cheng?
Following Dong Cheng's opening, some of the surrounding officials also echoed.

The chief Liu Xie waved his hand when he heard the words: "General Dong, what are you talking about? This thing belongs to Xiqing and has nothing to do with me!"

Liu Xie wasn't angry because of this, he just had some feelings, not to mention, he still wanted to win over Xi Yu!
When he heard that the floor heating would be used as a prison, he had already started building it.

At that time, there will naturally be some in the Han Palace.

Following Liu Xie's opening, Dong Cheng didn't say much.

After all, Liu Xie doesn't care about it himself. If he cares about it, it's not the same thing.

Because Liu Xie was present, it was almost noon, and it was time to eat.

If Liu Xie didn't leave, the courtiers naturally had no intention of leaving.

"I first came to Xuchang, and I heard that Xi Qing was good at cooking delicious food in Yanzhou before. I heard that the cooking of braised pork came from Xi Qing."

"Today, I can't say that I will taste the delicacy of Qing's family. I hope you don't care about it!"

Liu Xie blatantly wanted to stay for dinner, but Xie Yu couldn't drive him away.

Cao Cao and the others planned to stay after they followed, as did Yang Biao and the others.

Xi Yu curled his lips and glanced at everyone.

"It doesn't matter if His Majesty wants to stay, it's nothing more than adding a pair or two of chopsticks to the house!"

"It's just that the minister's family doesn't have too many chopsticks, and I'm afraid the Taiwei and other ministers won't be able to entertain them!"

In front of Liu Xie, Xi Yu was not polite.

It's you who rubs the rice, but I don't care about these people, you can do it this way!

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Xi Yu to say that, and Cao Cao was not surprised at all.

"Then, Dian Wei, go outside and tell Xu Chu that I'm staying at the opera house for dinner today, and ask Xu Chang to help bring more things over!"

After saying this, Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and the others beside him, and then his eyes fell on Xi Yu.

"Feng Yi, Wen Ruo and I and others, just settle it by ourselves, don't worry about it!"

As soon as Cao Cao said this, Yang Biao and the others were the only ones left.

When Liu Xie heard what Cao Cao said, he also looked at Yang Biao and the others: "Taiwei, what Xi Qing said is not unreasonable, Sikong can solve it by himself, and you can solve it yourself later!"

What Liu Xie meant was to ignore Yang Biao and others.

Logically speaking, if the host does not entertain, the guests have no reason to stay.

However, the situation today is different.

Liu Xie is staying, Yang Biao and others are naturally unwilling to leave like this, who knows what will happen after they leave!
"Hmph, is this how the majestic Dasinong treats visitors?"

Yang Biao snorted coldly.

Before Xi Yu could speak, Cao Cao on the opposite side couldn't help but sneered.

"The Taiwei's words are wrong, I didn't hear that Da Sinong invited the Taiwei to be a guest!"

"Wait, didn't you come here uninvited?"

As soon as Cao Cao said this, Yang Biao's face turned dark.

Immediately afterwards, I don't know who on the other side yelled again.

"What Taiwei, are you so stumped that you can't even afford to eat?"

These words were a bit harsh, even Yang Biao could hardly sit still, if Dong Cheng who was beside him was not dragging him, Yang Biao would have been unable to bear it and walked away at this moment.

Yang Biao suppressed his anger, Dong Cheng had already given instructions to the officials beside him, and not long after, someone brought over a set of utensils for eating.

At this time, Yang Biao looked at Cao Cao, and couldn't help but speak.

"I heard that Sikong has helped His Majesty choose the palace guards some time ago, I wonder if this is true?"

Yang Biao's words meant something.

The selection of the guards of the Han Palace should have been the responsibility of Weiwei.

At this moment, the meaning of Yang Biao's words clearly accused Cao Cao of being a Sikong, overstepping his position and not paying attention to the emperor.

Even if Captain Qianwei died while escorting the emperor, it is logical that it is not Cao Cao's turn to intervene now.

He is the Taiwei of the Great Han Dynasty, and now he is the first among the three princes. Cao Cao, who is also the three princes, is not higher than him in terms of status.
