Chapter 247 Dont forget the name of King Chu! The problem of the house!
A child who looked to be the oldest in the Chenghuang Temple stood up immediately.
His face was full of excitement.
Suddenly, the originally lifeless Chenghuang Temple became even more lively.
Everyone rushed to stand up.
"No! Xiaohua, you girls don't want to go."
Brother Big Niu suddenly spoke again and glanced at several skinny girls and two or three smaller children.
"You all stay here, don't worry, since His Highness King Chu has given the order, we will definitely not starve to death."
Brother Big Niu said.
The child who took the lead was a little hesitant.
Everyone else looked at him too.
At this time, Brother Daniu spoke again.
"Don't be stunned, let's leave quickly."
"Don't worry, really don't worry. Even if you don't believe what I say, since His Highness the King of Chu has given the order, will he not consider you? If you don't believe me, you have to believe His Highness the King of Chu."
Brother Daniu said again.
As soon as these words came out, the child who took the lead breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded his head.
In his heart, he didn't want these children to follow him.
After all, they are too young after all.
"Okay, that's it!"
"Xiaohua, you stay here and take care of them."
"Don't worry, you will never be hungry as long as we are here, let alone His Highness the King of Chu has come up with a plan. We must trust His Highness the King of Chu."
The child clenched his fist tightly.
"Walk!"
Brother Big Niu turned around and plunged into the wind and snow.
Everyone else, hurry up and follow.
"Brother Danniu, brother, be careful."
"Be careful and come back safely!"
Xiaohua ran to the door and shouted.
"Sister Xiaohua......"
A child called softly, a little scared.
After all, they are orphans. They usually work together and have little inner sense of security. They are very afraid of being left behind.
Little Peanut took a breath, and she gently rubbed the child's head.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Brother Daniu and the others are going to work with His Highness the King of Chu."
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, you know that with His Highness the King of Chu here, nothing will happen to us."
Xiao Hua comforts.
The children looked at her and nodded vigorously after hearing these words.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu!
How could they not have heard of this name?
It’s like thunder!!
They all dream of becoming the servants of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
This is already the biggest dream of these children.
The wind and snow outside seem to be getting heavier and heavier.
But this time, the wind is full of hope.
Isn't it?
….………….…….
Imperial College.
Kong Yingda sat under the pavilion.
This pavilion was the place where he and Li Kuan had a conversation together.
Staring blankly at the heavy snowfall in the sky.
Trance.
Daze.
"Run away, be careful to catch a cold, it's getting cold,"
Yu Shinan walked over slowly and covered Kong Yingda with the big cloak in his hand.
Kong Yingda calmed down.
"Shi Nan, hey..."
Kong Yingda moved and sat to the side to make room for Yu Shinan.
"Are you still worried about the people?"
Yu Shinan sat down and smiled.
"Yes, this heavy snow is coming too fast. What should people do?"
"Hey... I'm afraid it will be difficult for the imperial court to respond in a short period of time. I don't know how many people will be displaced."
"It's difficult, it's really difficult! The weather is cold and it's hard for the poor people."
Kong Yingda's face was full of sorrow.
"Ha ha ha ha……."
Yu Shinan couldn't help laughing after listening to his words.
"Shi Nan, why are you laughing?" Kong Yingda frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
"Chongyuan, this matter is not something we should consider. Your Highness, King Chu, has a way!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu? His Highness the King of Chu is not in Chang'an now. How could he possibly have a solution? No matter how smart His Highness is, he would never have thought that a snow disaster would happen in Chang'an so soon. Even a god would be caught off guard and panicked."
Kong Yingda retorted directly without even thinking about it.
In fact, he didn't even hear the relaxation in Yu Shinan's voice.
"Hahaha……."
Yu Shinan laughed again and gently smoothed his beard.
"Chongyuan, no, you are wrong. His Highness the King of Chu has already given a way."
"Go and take a look. Now all the people in Chang'an have moved with the imperial court."
"A plan? There's no need to worry anymore."
Yu Shinan smiled.
"What?!"
After hearing this, Kong Yingda flew up as if there were springs installed under his butt.
The eyes are round.
Can't believe it.
He stared straight at Yu Shinan.
Have you given a solution?
How can this be!
His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not in Chang'an now, how can he still give some advice?
This is too naughty!
Incredible!!
Gudong…….
Kong Yingda's throat felt a little itchy. He swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice: "This... Shinan, what on earth is going on?"
The voice trembled.
His face became hot.
Scalp numbness.
The soul trembles.
Are you still worried on your side? The common people have been rescued by His Highness the King of Chu?
Damn it!
This is so amazing!!
"This is true. Go far away. There is no need to doubt it."
Yu Shinan quickly supported the excited Kong Yingda and helped him sit down again with a smile.
"What exactly is going on?"
Kong Yingda stared straight at Yu Shinan with a pair of old eyes.
Yu Shinan quickly explained and talked about the work-for-relief and briquettes.
Kong Yingda was extremely shocked when he heard this.
Really surprised and happy.
In this way, people's livelihood should not be a problem.
Your Highness, King Chu, is really a good trick!
Who would have thought that a way out would have been prepared for the people early on.
Briquettes!
According to Yu Shinan, it should be cheap and easy to use.
And it’s very easy to make.
Then the work-for-relief method was used to maintain the livelihood of the people.
The imperial court does not just provide disaster relief in vain, and the people do not just wait for relief. This is really a good thing for the imperial court and the people!
"Yeah!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu has such a wonderful method, it is really unexpected and unbelievable!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Huh... In this case, this snow disaster will not cause any great damage to the Tang Dynasty."
"Hahaha... Let's go, let's go, let's inform all the students in the Imperial College that if possible, they must participate in this operation."
Kong Yingda rubbed his hands and was already beaming with excitement as he spoke.
The hanging heart finally calmed down completely.
wonderful!
Wonderful!!
He couldn't help but applaud and cheer.
….………….….
When it was late at night, the people all came back.
What greeted them were pots of fragrant porridge.
There are also some items issued by the imperial court.
I finally made it through the day and it was no problem.
In Chang'an, laughter appeared after a long absence.
By the next day, the people no longer needed guidance, and they all walked spontaneously toward Meishan outside the city.
Moreover, as the day dawned and the sun came out, it gradually stopped.
This Meishan Mountain is usually just a lonely hilltop a long way from Chang'an, but who would have thought that in just one day, this place would become bustling with traffic and bustle.
At night, the first batch of briquettes also reached the minimum conditions for combustion.
City God Temple.
The fire has been lit.
Cracking and burning.
The briquettes were put in.
This stove was very simple, but it was built with a few stones, but the flames were already rising like crazy.
The originally cold City God's Temple finally felt very warm.
Everyone gathered around the stove.
The firelight illuminated each of their faces.
The youngest children were all looking at the stove in trance, with smiles on their faces.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu's method is really amazing. Who would have thought that in just two days, he would have almost solved the entire heating problem in Chang'an."
The leading child rubbed his belly and sighed with emotion.
I just drank the porridge under the door, and now I still feel like my stomach is full.
When the others heard this, they all nodded.
"Who says it's not the case? Not only that, we also feel that this porridge tastes different from the one given by the imperial court. This is what we earned through hard work."
Some people also said it with a smile.
Not only can you drink the porridge for disaster relief, but everyone can also get two servings.
In fact, if divided into one part, these two parts can be turned into three parts.
This is a standard amount to feed a family.
And if two people in a family contribute, they can almost eat very well.
Before leaving, I could take back a few briquettes.
No matter how you look at it, you are making money.
This makes the working people feel extremely grateful.
While I am grateful, I also have a sense of recognition in my heart.
His Highness the King of Chu did not regard them as disaster victims.
Look at this briquette, I made it with my own hands. I really made a contribution to His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the imperial court. They all enjoyed the disaster relief porridge very comfortably.
"Hahaha... Having said that, without His Highness the King of Chu, we would not even have the opportunity to work. It was His Highness the King of Chu who created all this for us. Although it is earned through labor, His Highness the King of Chu must be good.
Keep it in your heart and never forget it.”
"From my point of view, we all owe His Highness the King of Chu our lives."
The woman named Xiaohua spoke softly.
"Don't worry, Sister Xiaohua, remember it, remember it all."
"That's for sure. Anyway, I will never forget the kindness of His Highness King Chu in this life."
"Well, well, well, this time, if it weren't for His Highness King Chu, I don't know how many people in the world would die."
"……."
Several people gathered around the stove, talking excitedly.
After a while, under the warmth, sleepiness came over me.
Outside the closed door of the Chenghuang Temple, it seemed that the heavy snow that had stopped for the day had continued to fall again.
……….…….….
Tai Chi Palace.
A stove is placed in the middle.
The fire was about a foot high.
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and others were all surrounding, their faces glowing red, and the excitement on their faces was undisguised.
After these two days of busy work, Briquettes is on the right track.
And this briquette has really fully demonstrated its characteristics.
So easy to make.
It also burns too easily.
"Your Majesty, it is estimated that every household in Chang'an is burning briquettes. Those who are not burning briquettes probably don't need briquettes anymore. They are all rich people and so on."
Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and said to Li Shimin with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I really want to thank His Royal Highness the King of Chu this time. This briquette is really amazing. It is simply made for the common people."
Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
"Cheap, easy to use, simple, wow... From now on, people will have no shortage of heating, and even cooking and other things will be enough."
Du Ruhui echoed.
"Yes, Your Majesty, in Wannian County and Chang'an County, those outside Zhuangzi also have briquettes delivered to them. They sell them very cheaply, only ten yuan a penny. However, when this business is spread, it will not be tolerated.
Small profits.”
"The briquettes currently produced by Meishan every day are enough to support the entire Chang'an's usage for two days."
Li Jing reported.
The sword hanging above their heads was finally taken down.
Not easy!
These two days, they hardly slept a wink.
Li Shimin let out a long breath.
Nod.
"Okay, that's good!"
"This winter, no matter how you say it, at least the people are not cold anymore."
"Then, next, we only need to solve the problem of starvation."
Li Shimin's eyes were still extremely solemn.
But within the solemnity, there is also relaxation.
"No, Your Majesty, there is another one!"
However, at this moment, Li Jing suddenly spoke.
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin, who had just felt a little relieved, suddenly brought it up again.
Originally, he thought that the snow disaster should be almost under control.
Briquettes solve the common people's urgent need for heating.
Providing work-related relief not only reduced the pressure on the court, but also allowed the people to live a better life.
Why is there anything else?
Even Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others looked at Li Jing fiercely, at a loss.
"Pharmacist, what?"
"What else can happen now?"
Before Li Shimin opened his mouth, Changsun Wuji had already asked.
"Yes, pharmacist, what did you think of?"
Li Jing echoed.
Li Shimin frowned slightly and said softly: "Pharmacist, you don't have to be cautious, but it doesn't matter."
Li Jing took a deep breath.
He turned his head and looked worriedly outside the hall.
It's getting dark.
The wind has risen again.
This snow, no matter how you look at it, makes people feel like it is about to start falling again.
"Your Majesty, if the snow continues to fall, the house will not be able to hold up and collapse."
Li Jing said in a deep voice, expressing his concerns.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and then they all looked outside the door.
The snow is not slippery yet.
The accumulation of so many days is almost up to my calf.
Fortunately, the snow fell intermittently, and the people were able to clean the roofs, but they all knew that the cleaning was not very thorough.
If this continues, there will be no time to clean up and the house will collapse. This is not just for fun.
Once people's houses collapse.
That's the real trouble.
"But... there's nothing we can do about it."
"In my opinion, the only thing I can do is pray to God not to continue to snow."
Li Shimin pondered for a few breaths, thought about it, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
