Prince Jing saw that there weren't many people coming, and he didn't know if the sitting on the Kang was over now. If not, he could take his brother to have a look.

The servants didn't know what the master was asking about, but they had seen this man often, so they naturally responded respectfully.

"When I get back to you, it's almost finished. Only the ones in the main room are left."

Except for their own people in the main house, other people who are following Pan Kang are not allowed to come, so there should be fewer people.

Prince Jing nodded with satisfaction, "Then take us there, just in time to take a look. Brother Huang, come with me and take a look."

Prince Jing led the emperor into the Su family courtyard and went straight to the main house.

The emperor curiously followed Prince Jing into the main room.

This house was different from the ones he saw along the way. It didn't have blue bricks and tiles, nor was it made of mud. The color looked gray and hard, and I heard it was very strong.

Prince Jing looked at the emperor's curious look and said, "This is a house made of cement, but with iron inside."

"Iron? Use iron to build a house?" The emperor was surprised.

Prince Jing said: "I heard from Ziyu that Suning said it would not be easy to collapse and the house was built solidly."

The emperor was shocked. It was the first time he heard that iron could make it stronger, but he thought of steel again. Maybe it could be done.

Prince Jing saw the emperor's interest and said a few more words, "This house is almost Suning's own idea, including a greenhouse behind it, where he plans to grow some food in the winter."

"It's a good idea." The emperor praised.

He also knows about greenhouses, and there are similar ones in Beijing. You can also eat fresh food in winter. Of course, for the royal family, some vegetables and fruits from the south can also be delivered hundreds of miles away on an expedited basis.

Prince Jing led the emperor around the room.

The emperor entered the main room and found that except for the different colors of the walls on the outside, the rooms inside were very simple and had a normal layout.

There is a bedroom on one side, and the door is closed now. There is also a room on the other side, and the man on the bed is taking him to that room.

Because the Kang is being made, the door of the Kang on the other side is open, and no one can enter except for the craftsmen who want to make the Kang.

Prince Jing looked at the emperor's curiosity and said, "A bed has been put into the bedroom over there, and there is no space, so Suning plans to make a bed here."

This was normal. The emperor didn't find it strange at all. He just looked at his younger brother and seemed to be a little concerned about that?

"What, is there something you like over there?"

When did you learn to like things in other people’s bedrooms?Could it be that he has learned badly during these years outside?

When Prince Jing looked at the emperor's expression, he knew that the emperor had gone somewhere. He shook his head and said helplessly: "Brother, where have you been? I have nothing to do. Why do you like other people's bedrooms? Oh, that's not right. , I do like a few things in it, but it’s not what you think, brother Huang.”

"What's that like?" the emperor raised his eyebrows.

Prince Jing sighed: "Brother, this Suning, even though she is not big, this is a really good idea. There are several small pillows made by Suning, with duck down inside, and they can be held softly. It's very comfortable. I heard that this thing can keep warm if used as clothes in winter."

The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although the emperor didn't have to worry about the cold in winter, some people would freeze to death every winter, especially when it snowed heavily. It would be good to have a few more things to keep warm.

Just like the cardigan I brought back last time, it feels really good.

I heard that Ziyu has sent people outside the pass to collect wool.

I heard that there are more people raising sheep outside the customs this year and fewer raising horses. There are only so many places in total. If there are more of this, there will be less of that.If there are fewer horses...if the enemy wants to be able to run, they have to do something else.

The emperor couldn't help but think deeply. They were already frightened over there, and measures had to be taken slowly.

It's just that the outside of the pass is desolate, and not many people are willing to go there.

What's more, if it's not suitable for growing food, it's always not as easy as inside the customs.

I didn’t see it. Every winter, enemies come to thresh the grass in the valley.

If there are fewer horses and more sheep, the wool collected here and the money and grain exchanged there must naturally be stable.

People, who wants to fight if they can live?

And if there are fewer horses, there will naturally be fewer cavalry.

There are fewer threats.

Moreover, people at home can also wear clothes made of wool, which are warm and comfortable, which is really good.

The emperor thought more and more, and he didn't even react when he reached Pankang.

The craftsman of the Kang table respectfully asked Prince Jing: "Your Majesty, can I start making the tableware now?"

The man who was looking at me wanted the other man to take a look, but that man didn't seem to know what he was thinking and didn't pay attention.

The master didn't dare to speak, and they didn't dare to do it directly.

After hearing this, Prince Jing said to his royal brother: "Brother, how about I take you to see this Kang and let the workers start working on it?"

Prince Jing's voice woke up the emperor. The emperor looked at the workers and said, "Let's do it."

When the servants saw that their masters had stopped moving, they moved some chairs over for everyone to sit down.

The chair happened to be taken from this room.

Suning placed a pillow on each chair.

Just as the emperor was about to sit on the chair, he saw something on the seat and back of the chair. He asked Prince Jing curiously: "What is this?"

Prince Jing said: "This is what I just talked about. Suning calls it a cushion or a seat cushion. The cushion below is made of cotton wool, which is thicker. Suning doesn't have much of this stuff. He only made it for this room. , it is not made in other places. Suning said that this thing is very useful, and I don’t know where she got it. I heard that I bought it from Banshi, a small shop. Except for these cushions, most of them are made. It’s used to make cotton-padded clothes and quilts. It’s just that there’s less stuff. The cushions on it are made of duck down, and the skin is fur, so it’s comfortable to the touch.”

"Brother, do you want to try?"

The emperor sat down curiously. This thing was indeed soft, a little different from the tiger skin mat, and it also felt warm slowly coming up.

"It is indeed a good thing. Can this thing still be obtained?" the emperor asked.

If you really want to keep warm, you can find a way to plant one, and you can have another way to keep warm next year.

Prince Jing said: "This thing has seeds. Suning is keeping them. He will plant them next year. Suning said that this thing likes warm places. It won't work this winter. You can try to plant one after harvesting wheat next year."

"Isn't it possible in the south?" the emperor asked.

Prince Jing shook his head: "Suning said this thing likes warm places with good sunshine and not much rain. The south is not suitable."
