Chapter 958 I said, Brother Mao, what are you fighting with that Cheng Saburo
Chapter 958: Brother Mao Gong, what kind of bet are you making with that Cheng Sanlang? (Please subscribe and vote)
For no other reason than because this thing was created by the famous Cheng Sanlang, and it won His Majesty's praise and named it himself.
Think about it, this thing has been tried by His Majesty, how could it be any worse?
From the moment they saw the advertisement in the newspaper, many ironware shops began to ask their masters to make them, then bought peat and burned the Zhenguan furnace.
He placed it at the door of his shop so that passers-by could feel the heart-warming power of the iron stove.
Even if you have never read newspapers before, you only know about the hard working people all day long.
As I passed by the blacksmith shop, I felt such a warm feeling.
I will also be interested in asking about what kind of object it is and why it is so warm when placed in the open space.
This kind of publicity effect is really powerful, and the number of orders has shown explosive growth.
Fang Xuanling was stroking her long beard and was happily following Ma Zhou towards Liangyi Hall, muttering softly.
The topic they were talking about was the Zhenguan Furnace that had the entire Chang'an government and people talking about in the past few days.
Ma Zhou didn't have much dealings with Cheng Sanlang, but he still admired this young man who was quite capable of causing trouble.
"As the population in Chang'an becomes more and more dense, wood charcoal and bamboo charcoal are becoming more and more expensive today."
"Poor people often worry about keeping warm in winter, but now, there is actually another way."
Fang Xuanling nodded, deeply convinced.
"The price of one pound of charcoal is enough to buy seven or eight pounds of peat carbon. This is the price of shipping it to Chang'an City."
"And there is a lot of peat in Guanzhong, but in the past, because there were too few people using it, the amount of peat purchased was not large."
"Now that the Zhenguan Furnace has been released, I am afraid that those things that were originally like lumps of mud have become lumps of gold again..."
"Fortunately, His Majesty had the foresight to strictly control peat prices."
"His Majesty has begun to dispatch more craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to search for peat, and is preparing to dig out more peat to supply the people."
"The prime minister's house must also use this thing, right?"
"Haha, no, my incompetent Erlang got a Zhenguan stove directly from Cheng Sanlang."
"I wasn't too happy about it at the time, thinking this guy was just fooling around, but after the fever started, it was really warm..."
Having said this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but reveal a kind smile on her face, and the second child followed Cheng Sanlang.
Although he is away from home all the time, he seems to have become a lot more sensible. When he is with me, he talks a lot more than before and answers questions.
It's not like in the past, when he was squatting in front of me like a piece of wood, and he couldn't fart for a long time, which was really unpleasant.

At the same time, the eunuchs were busy in the Liangyi Palace.
The eight huge copper stoves used to burn charcoal for heating that originally stood in the Liangyi Hall have been removed.
At this moment, they were replaced by eight very exquisite Zhenguan furnaces that were about half a person tall, and were covered with stone slabs about a foot thick for heat insulation.
There are even beautiful patterns embossed on the furnace body, and the Zhenguan furnace is surrounded by railings.
This is to prevent the very high temperature of the Zhenguan furnace from scalding some curious people who intend to seek death.
There is a huge difference in appearance between this thing and the iron stove that Cheng Chubi presented that day.
It's like there is so much difference between an elegant and artistic metal sculpture and an iron bump on the roadside.
The heat emitted by these eight large Zhenguan furnaces made the entire Liangyi Hall very warm.
It is completely different from the feeling of using carbon stoves for heating in the past.
In addition, in accordance with His Majesty's instructions, two iron stoves were built behind the emperor's imperial palace.
In the past, the emperor always thought it was too cold. Now that the heating facilities need to be replaced, it is natural that he must also satisfy his Majesty's wish for adequate heating.
When the ministers and ministers had gathered outside the Liangyi Palace, as the drums were beaten, Wukong's powerful warriors slowly pushed open the heavy palace door.
The moment they opened the palace door, all the important officials in the court felt a warm breeze blowing towards them.
"It's actually so warm... It seems that His Majesty really cares about us. Look, the original charcoal stoves here have been replaced by Zhenguan stoves."
"Yeah, look at that long pipe, it looks like a rainbow..."
"It's comfortable. It's so comfortable. It seems like today's court meeting finally means I don't have to wear this annoying outer garment anymore."
"Hahaha... Brother Yaojin, your third child has made great achievements again."
"This is nothing, it's just a few peat-burning stoves, to my Saburo.
Inventing such a gadget is as common as eating and drinking."
Cheng Yaojin had obviously smiled so much that Tong Ling's big eyes narrowed into two slits, but he still remained very reserved and humble.
This kind of language art that is very Versailles makes the military ministers want to spit this shameless one.
When Cheng Yaojin saw the unhappy Li Ji, he burst into laughter, jumped over and hugged this good brother who had cut off the chicken head and burned the yellow paper.
"My dear brother, what happened to the bet you made with my third son?"
"Who, I mean Mr. Mao, what kind of bet are you making with that Cheng Sanlang?"
Qin Qiong looked at Li Ji confused and asked.
Li Ji broke away from Cheng Yaojin's arm with a dark look on his face and said unhappily.
"My little brother was just fooling around with that boy Cheng Sanlang, but it turned out that the third child of yours had the audacity to defraud me of my salary for half a year."
"Yo yo yo, what, brother, have you really been cheated?" Master Li on the side came over and asked curiously with excitement on his face.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. This kid made a bet with my Saburo, saying that if my Saburo can make military rations that are light in weight and can fill your stomach."
"He just lost half a year's salary to my Sanlang, hehe..."
Cheng Yaojin said happily while stroking his thick beard like a steel needle.
"Don't tell me, my youngest brother actually made that kind of military rations."
Hearing this, the military officials on the side came over to inquire.
"Really or not, if there is such a military ration, then the mobility of our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will be even more powerful."
"That's natural. My Sanlang is very solid in his work. If you don't believe me, just ask Mr. Mao."
Seeing the glances directed at him, Li Ji nodded helplessly.
"It's been done, but we have to wait a little longer. We have to ask General Chai to find out the result."
A pair of eyes full of greed and excitement all fell on Chai Shao, the general of Zuowei, and Chai Shao had a dark look on his face.
"Don't worry, everyone. Chai just ordered the soldiers to try it out not long ago. If you want to know the results, it will take about ten days."
