Qin Yunchiao actually didn't know Huo Lingjue's status as "adopted son" or that he was his cheap brother, so he couldn't help but give him a sideways look.
But he couldn't compete for favor, so he could only say: "I wonder what it is?"
Shen Zhoujin said: "We need to purchase cotton and coarse cloth, find a place to build a workshop, and hire a large number of workers to make cotton clothes... If there is anyone who wants to become a disciple without money, please tell Zhiyuan and Songhan, and we will see who they are then. You can also accept those that pass the test. You must be quick. We are seeing the winter moon, so the sooner the better."
There are a lot of cotton-padded clothes in her space, but she cannot and does not need to take them out directly.
So her plan is to do all the things that need to be done under the current conditions. If it is not enough, she can just add more when the time comes. The existence of space is to make up for the regret of "when manpower is poor", this is enough.
She paused for a moment: "You can just say it out loud. This year's winter is extremely cold. The minor cold will start in a few days, lasting about five or six months. Winter is already extremely cold, and the late spring cold is even more freezing to death. So not only do we need to pay attention to cotton-padded clothes and charcoal fires, we also need to pay attention to growing food. This is not a trivial matter. The more people who know about it, the better. The government must also deal with it well. It is best to stand in line with us, otherwise a lot of time will be wasted if we are half-believed."
Qin Yunchiao nodded.
Then he glanced at Huo Lingjue vaguely and said: "Jin'er, in fact, what you said is not difficult. Wen Liang can do it all. If there is anything he can't do, my father will send someone over, and he will do it when the time comes. I can help... it doesn't matter if I'm here or not. But on the other side of the coal mine, we have to deal with the government all the time, so my identity may be able to help a little bit."
When Shen Zhoujin thought about it, it was true.
Although she is also a person of status, she still has many other things to do, so it is just right for Qin Yunchiao to do these.
Shen Zhoujin immediately agreed: "Okay, you go too, and then call Qingrong. You can also bring some people. We will leave early tomorrow morning."
As she spoke, she took out a small box of jewelry and said, "Give this to Wen Liang. Don't be stingy with the money. If there's anything I can't think of, you can also tell him that if we don't do it, we'll do it. If we want to do it, just do it." Beautiful. Xiaoqiao, I am not ordering you, I am asking you for help. When things are done, I will help you heal the injury on your face as a thank you."
Qin Yunchiao had been responding with a smile, but when he heard this, he looked up in shock.
She never saw his injuries, never asked about them, but just told him to treat them.
But he couldn't help but believe it.
He looked at her intently for a while, then nodded: "Thank you Jin'er."
Wow, so touching, so heart-warming!
He once again regretted that he did not become a disciple. Such a powerful master was almost omnipotent and could handle anything. If he could rely on her and throw himself into her arms and cry, it would be such a practical thing. Wow. Woo.
He held the small box and left with tears in his eyes.
Huo Lingjue had always been quite quiet, letting her give orders, so she said that sentence.
It wasn't until Qin Yunchiao left that he asked in confusion: "Why are the Eighth Prince and the Emperor so different?"
He sounded like I couldn't bear it anymore and finally waited until you left before saying..., but he was actually looking at her with raised eyebrows and a hehe expression on his face.
Shen Zhoujin: "..."
He specifically said at a distance where Qin Yunchiao would definitely hear him, that after Qin Yunchiao reported it, he would definitely know who he was, so his comment seemed... not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
That's just one sentence, the emperor is so heroic, why are you so girly? Are you still crying?
But what could Shen Zhoujin do? She could only say: "You are right."
It seemed that he answered immediately, and Qin Yunchiao must have heard it. In fact, he made a secret gesture to temporarily silence the sound here.
So let’s just say, it’s not easy to raise a master or something like that. You have to take your time to win the hearts of your subordinates, otherwise he will make trouble... If she hadn’t been so powerful, this would have been a disaster.
Anyway, her current thinking about Huo Lingjue is that although she is a bohemian and free-spirited boss, the kind of person who would never touch her even if she is among thousands of flowers, and has no intention of getting married, if Huo Lingjue is determined, she must be determined If she lost her crooked neck...no, it was a big tree with red roots, then we were good brothers sharing life and death, so it was not impossible for her to take responsibility.
Since there is a possibility of being responsible, she must pick up her moral integrity and equip it now, keep a distance from other people, and give up her future of freedom or being in front of three thousand people.
But he has his bottom line, and she also has her conditions. Seeing how much she has sacrificed, she will occasionally kiss her forehead and give her a hug, and collect some interest. This is a basic operation. You can advance but you can retreat... …that’s what she was thinking.
Based on this idea, she should also pretend to be clear inside and outside.
So after finishing that sentence, she said with a serious face: "Okay, let me give you an explanation while there is no one around. I may need to find a place to draw the talisman then. You need to direct these things. You must first Thorough understanding.”
Huo Lingjue nodded calmly, but based on her understanding of him, she was happy.
Shen Zhoujin then explained everything.
What the people need most nowadays are mainly cotton-padded clothes, stoves, briquettes, and food.
No matter how cheap cotton-padded clothes are, they are limited and one piece per person is impractical, so the top priority is the stove.
At that time, you can affix talismans to increase the heat and cover a wider area.
Although the talisman can be attached to anything, and jade is the best carrier, it is best not to do things like pretending to be gods and ghosts at this time. If everyone believes in the talisman or not, there will be endless troubles.
So the best way is to put it on the stove, and preferably a stove that has not been used before, so that no one will even have such doubts.
It is difficult to make an iron stove these days due to the salt and iron government, but it is very simple to make a simple mud stove or cement stove.
Mud needs to be found now, so why not make cement? The cement she keeps is anti-cracking and quick-drying. You can make more types and use them with briquettes.
The cheapest one can be made into a round straight tube with a single eye, with honeycomb briquettes stacked up and down. It can be used for boiling water, cooking, and heating. It is enough for a family of three or four.
The larger one can be made of honeycomb briquettes with three holes and separate gallbladders, or it can be made into a square stove with a flat top, which can burn coal or firewood.
Because you still have to move it around, you don’t need to make it too big, these three should be enough.
Briquettes are made from a mixture of pulverized coal, mud, lime, wood chips, etc. The proportion is not strict.
She also has molds for making briquettes, and there are quite a few. After all, she has been building towards a universal space, so she can't always have blanks.
Huo Lingjue was very clever. It was obviously something he had never been exposed to before, but as soon as he explained it, he understood it, and then asked: "Does this 'cement' stove only require cement?"
"No," Shen Zhoujin explained to him: "Cement, you can think of it as a thin surface. Before it solidifies, it is very soft, so soft that it flows, so it needs a 'frame' or a mold. , and when making a stove, there will be ash after burning coal, so there must be ventilation holes in the furnace and the lower part, and short steel bars must be used..."
As she explained, Huo Lingjue nodded, took the pen in her hand, and sketched on the paper: "Then can I... use rattan or willow to weave something like this... a cylinder in the middle, and a basket outside... …”
Shen Zhoujin shook his head: "It doesn't matter what's on the outside. On the inside, if you want to make briquettes, the inner wall must be smooth, and it can't be made like this... And after the cement solidifies, these cannot be peeled off..."
Huo Lingjue said: "Then use a smooth tube in the middle and cover it with a layer of cloth or paper. Once you're done, pull out the tube and take the paper with you. When the time comes, sell it and it will burn away slowly..."
The two were discussing when they heard someone outside say: "Jin'er, Jin'er, can I come in?"
As he said that, Lu Zhiji trotted in, excitedly, "Jin'er, you want to go to Qingcheng? I want to go too!"
