Since Wu Yong thought that such a house could withstand the winter in Liaodong, Han Du felt relieved.
"Then if such a house is built for you, will you continue to build roads?"
"Yes, I am willing." Wu Yong nodded quickly, and others also agreed.
Han Du wanted to do more than that. He walked into the house and waved to everyone, "Come here."
Then, Han Du directed several masons to put the kang on the plate.
Wu Yong watched from beginning to end, looked at Han Du doubtfully and asked: "Master Hou, what are you doing?"
Han Du glanced at him and explained: "Didn't you also notice that there is no bed in this room? Well, this is the bed for sleeping. I call it Huokang."
"Fire kang?" Wu Yong turned around and glanced at the fire kang, which was less than three feet high. It was a little bigger than a bed. His face twitched and he asked: "Master Hou, how do you sleep here? It's all mud and mud.
Damn it”
Han Du smiled mysteriously and asked someone to light a fire below. As the temperature increased, the soil dried quickly. He stretched out his hand and tried it, and it was slightly hot. But it doesn't matter. It should be much better if it is spread with hay.
Wu Yong looked at it for a long time, but still didn't understand, and asked Han Du flatteringly: "Master Hou, are you going to put people on the fire?" ??
"What to bake?" Han Du glanced at Wu Yong with some blame, waved his hand and said: "Go get some hay and spread it thicker, then sit on it and try it."
Faced with Han Du's order, Wu Yong had no room to refute, so he spread hay and sat on it with hesitation.
"How do you feel?" Han Dubian asked as soon as Wu Yong sat on it.
Wu Yong smiled flatteringly and replied honestly: "Master Hou, I don't feel anything."
"It's okay, just wait." Han Du folded his hands on his chest and waited patiently.
After a while, Wu Yong's eyes suddenly bulged and he said in surprise, "Ah! Mr. Hou, I feel hot."
As he spoke, he kept pressing his hands on the hay beside him, and he indeed felt a warmth coming from him.
"Come here, bring two quilts." Han Du shouted quickly.
Soon, someone brought the quilt.
Wu Yong immediately knew what the Marquis wanted to do, so he took the initiative to cover himself with the quilt without being asked, and felt it carefully. He only felt a rush of heat coming from the fire bed under him, and he no longer felt the slightest bit of coldness all over his body.
It's even more comfortable to sleep in spring.
After a while, sweat broke out on Wu Yong's back.
"It seems the fire was too strong." Wu Yong lifted the quilt and sat up. When he came into contact with the cold air, his back suddenly felt cool, and the sweat dried quickly.
"It doesn't matter if the fire is big. I'll just burn it down a little if needed." Han Du explained with a smile.
When other people saw it, they were also eager to try it on the fire bed themselves.
Han Du saw the eager expressions on their faces and nodded in agreement to let them all feel it.
After everyone tried it, they were all very satisfied with the fire kang and praised it full of praise.
Han Du saw that everyone was happy and waved to them again. He led everyone to the back of the house. This house was also made of wood and mud, but unlike the front, it was a livestock shed.
"I understand that you used to rely on grazing to make a living, and every household
We all have livestock. In winter, not only people are sad, but animals are also sad. If an animal is frozen to death by the wind and snow, it will also be a great loss for you." Han Du first made an opening statement.
"What the Marquis said is very true. I didn't expect that the Marquis, with his rich body, has such a thorough understanding of the lives of ordinary people." Wu Yong bowed to Han Du and sighed.
Han Du pointed around and explained: "This is the place where I have prepared for you to keep the animals. In front of it is the fire kang. Dig a tunnel through the wall through the ground and cover it with bricks. Wait for the fire kang.
When a fire is burning inside, the heat will flow into the house along the tunnel. Although it is not a lot, it is enough for the animals."
As he said that, Han Du squatted down, touched the ground, and said with a smile: "Try it, the heat is really quite big."
After everyone had tried it and it was confirmed, Chao Handu said: "The Marquis has thought carefully, and I admire it."
Seeing that everyone had no doubts, Han Du ordered: "From tomorrow onwards, half of the people will continue to build the road, and the remaining people will work hard to build such a house. We will strive to allow everyone to live in the house before the storm comes.
in."
"Obey the order." The guard had no doubts about this and immediately agreed to follow Han Du's instructions.
Just as the guard agreed, he suddenly asked: "Master Marquis, do you know where this house is built?"
Since you want to build a house, you have to find a place.
Han Du pondered for a moment and said directly: "Just build it on both sides of the road so that it will be convenient for everyone to go out in the future."
"Yes." The guard just wanted Han Du to designate a place for him to make arrangements. He didn't care at all whether it was built on flat ground or on a hillside.
Since the Marquis of Zhenhai now said to build it on the roadside, he will build it on the roadside.
Wu Yong and others had no objections. The house was close to the roadside, which was indeed convenient for them to travel in the future, so they naturally would not disagree.
However, Han Du had far-sightedness in this idea.
Although these people are Han, they do not even cultivate the land and are completely semi-nomadic. Liaodong is a vast area with few people. If they run around, it will be difficult for the court to control them. Moreover, they have no fixed place and it will be difficult for them to deal with them.
The ground under your feet creates an emotional connection. If something goes wrong in the future, you may turn your back on the Ming Dynasty again.
After all, although they were no match for the Ming army, how could they not afford to hide if they couldn't offend them? If they took the horses and cattle and ran into the wilderness, the court would be unable to do anything to them.
Now building their houses on both sides of the straight road is equivalent to assigning them to this place. Moreover, the mobilization of the Ming army in the future will definitely be along the straight road. If they want to separate from the Ming Dynasty, they have to consider the Ming army.
Will he come directly along the straight road?
Han Du has never thought about controlling these people so tightly that they can't even breathe. But he is not willing to let them go, otherwise, over time, they will really be strangers, and they will never belong to the Ming Dynasty again.
feel.
Following Han Du's order, houses and kangs began to be built on both sides of all the straight roads. Building their own houses took more care than building roads. Many people even finished the day's hard work and took advantage of the sky to get up.
, continue to build my own house, just want to finish the house as soon as possible.
Such a big movement naturally cannot be hidden from Fu Youde.
After the old general heard about Han Du's actions, he was immediately shocked. Since Wu Yong thought that such a house could withstand the winter in Liaodong, Han Du felt relieved.
"Then if such a house is built for you, will you continue to build roads?"
"Yes, I am willing." Wu Yong nodded quickly, and others also agreed.
