Early the next morning, the eunuchs from the record keeping hall came to work. They were all wearing new cotton-padded jackets that had just been issued by the Supervisor of Shangyi. The ones with cotton wadding were so thick!
Everyone is thinking about Eunuch Xiao in their hearts. Without his words, would we be able to wear these warm cotton clothes?
You won't freeze to death while working in the warehouse today.
Time was tight and the task was urgent. As soon as it came, I quickly clicked and entered the warehouse to start working. After working for a while, I suddenly felt strange...
Damn it, why is it so hot in this room? I looked around, but I couldn't see any stove or charcoal pot, so why is it so hot?
This is unscientific!
Isn’t this guy who is sweating profusely like a ghost?
"Don't be stupid. It was our Eunuch Xiao who took pity on us because he was so cold while working in the house, so he personally invented and supervised the construction of a heating system. It will be so warm every day from now on!"
Zhao Xicai revealed the secret with one word.
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that there was a flood of flattery for a moment, and Xiao Chen was so praised that there were few in the sky and no one in the earth!
Eunuch Xiao is too kind to us, even to his own son, right?
There is plenty of fish and meat to eat every day, and everyone has brand-new cotton-padded clothes to wear. This makes our house so warm, and everyone’s hearts are warm too...
If you don't risk your life to work for him, it would be unjustifiable.
But what exactly is this heating system?
The matter spread quickly, and people from various departments in the palace came to see what happened.
The results were eye-opening and astonishing!
"Old Liu, you are nothing! You know this craft, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"It goes without saying that Eunuch Xiao is a noble person, but we brothers are not human beings?"
"Today you have to install a set of these things for my Yamen, otherwise I will never be done with you!"
"It's been so cold these past two days. The tea in the house I live in has frozen. It's hard to get up every morning. Please give me a set first!"
"Do it for me first!"
"Why should you go first? Do you and Lao Liu have a deeper friendship than I do with him?"
"Anyway, Lao Liu, it's up to you! It doesn't matter if you offend me, but it won't be easy for you if you offend my brothers who are directly in charge of the palace!"
"What are you talking about? Is it easy to offend people in our internal prisons?"
While everyone was making a fuss, they suddenly heard a young eunuch screaming: "Eunuch Gong is here!
Everyone was startled and quickly shut up and stood together to greet him.
But when Gong Shouli heard that the Archive Hall had violated the rules and openly lit a fire in the warehouse to keep warm, he couldn't help but became very angry and immediately came to investigate!
But after inspecting it for a while accompanied by Xiao Chen, Liu Fuhai and a group of great eunuchs, not even a fart came out.
Because the boiler room for burning charcoal is built outside the yard, and the furnace fire is used, there is no hidden danger of water leakage.
You can't get angry either.
"Liu Fuhai, didn't you realize that you brat has such skills?" Gong Shouli looked very ugly.
With your skills like this, how dare you come to flatter Xiao Chen without being filial to our family first?
This is not taking our family seriously!
"Going back to my father-in-law, this is not the work of a villain, it is all the work of Eunuch Xiao!" Liu Fuhai said hurriedly.
"Huh?" Gong Shouli was a little surprised.
"The warehouse is too cold. Everyone's hands and feet are frozen and they can't do anything at all. It would be even worse if a few more freeze to death. Wouldn't it delay your father-in-law's filming mission? So I came up with such a stupid idea.
, It's a trivial skill, it's not worth mentioning, but it makes my father-in-law laugh."
Xiao Chen's words were neither humble nor arrogant.
"Hmph, you are the dignified Master of Ceremonies Bingbi, why do you still do such ingenious and obscene tricks? If you spread the word, you are not afraid of making people laugh and losing the honor of the royal family!" You can always pick out the bones from the eggs.
"Hey!" Xiao Chen smiled with a smile on his face and cursed in his heart...
Gong Shouli actually fell in love with this new heating method at first sight, but when he heard that it was Xiao Chen's work, he couldn't help but ask him to install one for his office and residence.
After all, he was still trying to intimidate Xiao Chen, and he also knew that he had offended this boy quite a lot...
I was filled with admiration, envy, anger, and jealousy in my heart. I couldn't express such complex emotions. I just spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground and limped around surrounded by a group of eunuchs.
and walked away.
"I don't care! Eunuch Xiao, if you don't help me, brother, I will pester you every day from now on!"
"Let you never stop for a moment!"
"You just love these brats at the Archive Hall, but you don't love our brothers either?"
"They are all your subordinates, you can't be partial!"
"I need you to be right today, father-in-law, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my gang of brats when I go back!"
More than a dozen eunuchs from various departments and bureaus surrounded Xiao Chen, talking all over the place and making the scene lively.
"Everyone." When Xiao Chen saw that the fire was almost done, he coughed and started to speak.
First of all, I would like to remind everyone to see it clearly. I don’t have three heads and six arms, and Lao Liu only has one pair of hands and dozens of subordinates.
Besides, the Royal Treasurer's official duties are so busy, it's impossible for them to do this every day, right?
Even if we are willing to help, there will be no blame from the superiors. It won’t be next year until so many yamen are installed!
Everyone shook their heads and sighed after hearing this, silently, and greatly disappointed, knowing that Xiao Chen was telling the truth.
But I can't watch everyone suffer and freeze, so I have a plan. Let's discuss whether this can be done.
Xiao Chen was at the end of his story, but suddenly things became clear again.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this and quickly asked Eunuch Xiao what his plan was.
In fact, it is very simple. Just outsource all these tasks and organize more craftsmen from outside the palace to do it. In this way, within half a month, everyone can live in a warm house.
I can personally arrange this matter. Who asked me to love you? But raw materials and labor cost money.
This thing is quite complicated to make, but even a small craftsman cannot do it. It must be a skilled craftsman, so the cost will definitely be very high...
Everyone was overjoyed and said that the cost was not a problem at all!
Don't look at how poor the deposit hall is. Other yamen are extremely rich. As long as we can live in a warm house like yours, we will be willing to take any amount of money!
Xiao Chen expressed that he was very pleased. If this is the case, then I will discuss it with Lao Liu and give you an answer tomorrow.
The weather is really cold. I will warm everyone up as soon as possible...
Everyone thanked him profusely and left happily.
Xiao Chen left Liu Fuhai behind, invited him to his office room, and even poured him a cup of tea himself.
Liu Fuhai quickly stood up and took it with both hands, thanked him repeatedly, and looked flattered.
"Fuhai, I wonder how much the cost of our heating system is approximately?" Xiao Chen must grasp the cost so that he can have an idea.
