Princess of the auxiliary country

As soon as Emperor Zhaode heard that Princess Zhaode had brought something, the first thing he thought of was food.

He has missed the tofu and fish soup very much recently.

Although the imperial kitchen has now produced tofu and soy milk, he has also tried the soy milk, and it is indeed very good as Princess Zhaode said.

Now he has a cup of soy milk every morning.

However, he also asked the people in the imperial dining room to try to make the tofu and fish soup, and they succeeded. Unfortunately, the finished product was still a little inferior to what Princess Zhaode sent.

"Get someone in."

Not long after, Hongxiu came in and kowtowed respectfully to Emperor Zhaowu.

There is no need for ministers to kowtow, but as a maid, Hongxiu is of low status and must kneel down to salute the emperor.

"Forgive me the gift. Where is the gift Princess Zhaode asked you to give?"

"Go back to the emperor, things are outside."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu was a little unhappy. He felt that the maid in front of him was very ignorant. Why didn't she just send the things in?

However, considering that he was helping Zhaode County Chief, it was not easy for him to punish him, lest Ning Yang would say that he, his uncle, was indifferent.

"Send it in quickly."

"Yes."

Soon Hong Xiu had someone carry the fireplace in.

When Emperor Zhaowu was wondering what kind of food he would send this time, he suddenly saw such a big thing and opened his mouth.

What the hell, so big?

"what is this?"

"Back to the emperor, this is the fireplace that the princess made for heating. Now that the weather is cold, the princess is worried that the emperor's office will be cold, so she specially asked her slave to bring one to the emperor."

These words were taught by the eldest princess Ningyang. After all, if you want to ask Emperor Zhaowu for iron, you naturally have to use nice words.

Sure enough, upon hearing her words, a smile appeared on Emperor Zhaowu's face.

"Zhao De is very filial. Even when the weather gets cold, he still thinks of me."

He was very satisfied, and he naturally did not forget to criticize his sons and daughters, seeing that none of them were as sensible as his niece.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to install it for you."

"Well, let's go."

Emperor Zhaowu waved his hand. Although he was satisfied with Princess Zhaode's filial piety, he didn't take the fireplace seriously. It looked strange that it was called a stove. In his opinion, it was more like a stove. It's a box.

Installation of this fireplace is very simple and only takes a few minutes.

"Your Majesty, do you need to try it?"

"Ah."

Hongxiu hurriedly called for people, took out the charcoal basins under the corners of the surrounding windows, and then asked people to close the windows tightly.

She lit the fireplace, and after about ten minutes, the temperature in the entire imperial study slowly rose.

"Ok?"

Emperor Zhaowu, who didn't take it seriously at first, noticed something was wrong with this thing, got up and walked out from behind the imperial case.

As soon as he reached the fireplace, a wave of heat hit him, which dispelled a lot of the chill in his body.

This is a good thing.

"This fireplace doesn't use charcoal?"

"Charcoal and ordinary firewood can be burned. Of course, it is cheaper to burn firewood. And you see, Your Majesty, the smoke from the firewood will be discharged directly out of the house along this pipe, and you will hardly feel anything in the room." Emperor Zhaowu took a look and said, Sure enough, I felt again that this was a good thing.

Ordinary firewood can be found everywhere in the Yu Dynasty and costs almost nothing. In rural areas, you can get a lot of it just by wandering around in the mountains.

It greatly reduces the cost of purchasing charcoal, and if you only burn wood, you don’t have to worry about charcoal poisoning. The chimney is also well designed and the smoke is discharged directly to the outside.

Cheap material, but it can bring better results than charcoal, and it is mainly safe.

It's just that this thing looks like it's made of iron.

"It takes a lot of iron to make such a stove, right?"

"Yes, the princess used all the iron reserved in the house for repairing farm tools for next spring plowing, and only two came out. One was given to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the other was sent to you."

"Originally, Her Royal Highness the Princess told the princess to keep it for herself. The princess said that the emperor has been working day and night for the Yu Dynasty and needs it more than she does. If she is not in a hurry, it will not be too late to wait until she has iron."

"After all, the Emperor, the Queen, and all the empresses have not sent it yet."

After hearing her words, Emperor Zhaowu was deeply moved.

Look, this is my good niece. She is filial, so filial.

She treats me like this. As an elder, how can I let her down?

"Isn't it just iron? I have it. I will give it to her as much as she needs. How can we let her, a junior, freeze."

Hearing this, Hongxiu saluted and sighed, Her Royal Highness the Princess is really powerful. These words given to her are indeed very useful.

"It probably costs three to four thousand kilograms. After all, I have to give one to all the nobles in the palace."

Emperor Zhaowu nodded. He did go to spend the night with the concubines in the palace from time to time. If he had this fireplace that could move by itself, he wouldn't have to worry about catching a cold.

"In this way, I will give her six thousand catties. If it is not enough, come back and ask me for more. Let her not wrong herself and get one for herself first."

Hongxiu quickly thanked him.

Emperor Zhaowu waved her hand to let her get up, and asked Gao Fu to give her a reward, and then wrote a note and gave it to her himself.

"Take my note and go to the Ministry of Industry and ask your father-in-law to grant you six thousand kilograms of pig iron directly."

"Yes, I will thank the emperor for the reward on behalf of the princess."

"Go."

After Hongxiu kowtowed again, he stood up and exited the imperial study.

Emperor Zhaowu walked to the fireplace again, moved his body, turned to Gao Fu and said, "This is a good thing, but it's a pity that it is made of iron. Otherwise, if it were popularized, there would be many fewer people in the world this winter." Frozen to death.”

"It's indeed good. Your Highness the Princess is really smart and can actually get along with such a good thing."

"Not only is he smart, he is also very filial, but he is a bit too sincere. He has to give it to me first if he doesn't need it."

Emperor Zhaowu had a smile on his face.

Soon, the news spread in the harem that Princess Zhaode had sent the emperor a magical fireplace.

It is said that the fireplace is so powerful that as long as it is lit, the whole room will be warm. It is also said that if you stay in it for a long time, you will sweat.

This is no exaggeration. At this time, there were several people sweating in the imperial study room.

I couldn't help it because the weather was too cold, so I dressed thickly. The fireplace continued to heat up, and the room was mostly sealed, so how could it not get hot.

This news also reached Fengqi Palace. In addition to the very good heating effect of the fireplace, Princess Zhaode used up all the iron she had at home and made two in total.

One was given to the eldest princess, and the other was sent to the palace. The eldest princess asked her to keep it for herself, but she didn't keep it. She also said that the emperor worked hard for the country and needed it more than she did.

"Hey, what a nice girl."

Queen Shen began to regret again, how come a filial child could have become her daughter-in-law, but in the end...
At first, she thought her son was stupid, but later she felt that someone must have bewitched her son. After all, her son had a good impression on her in the past.
