When she put the letter in her hand in front of Fang Fengzhu, the little girl Mo Hua pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It must be another reply to your invitation to the garden party... So far, more than a dozen people have said they want to go, right?
"
"Humph, you are the only one smart!"
Fang Fengzhu rolled his eyes at his personal maid and scolded her with a smile.
When she was in a happy mood, of course she would not really blame Mo Hua for saying anything more. After receiving the three letters, she casually asked: "Mo Hua, where is the king at this moment?"
Blinking his eyes, Mo Hua replied with a smile: "Miss, have you forgotten? The king is out of town today. I heard that the glass workshop is moving...Miss, you said that this glass workshop is really that important. Moving
Do you want the king to personally watch over this family?"
In fact, I also like glass very much in ink painting.
After all, the room was bright after it was installed. The lady could see clearly when she asked them to play cards with them, and there was no need to go out to the yard to play. And according to the lady, the most important function of this glass is still
If you can’t show it, you have to wait until winter!
Especially in the twelfth month of winter, when the cold wind is howling outside, if you install wooden windows or cardboard windows, you will either have a dark room, or you will have to open the windows and get cold!
But with glass, the room can be warm and bright, which is the best of both worlds.
But even so, the king wouldn't pay so much attention to it that he would even have to make a special trip to move the workshop, right? Moreover, Mo Hua really couldn't understand that a hundred pieces of glass, even if it were in the entire city of Chang'an, there would be
How many people can afford it? And until now, I have been seeing the king delivering it to the outside, but I haven’t seen any money coming into my account!
"Haha, you don't understand."
Blinking his eyes, Fang Fengzhu said softly: "The king naturally has his own ideas, and...just like white paper and ink, although the cost of glass is very high now, it will eventually come down.
!In the future...well, even ordinary rich families might be able to afford it!"
"Ah? Really?"
Blinking his eyes hard, Mo Hua's face was full of surprise, but there was a faint disbelief in his eyes.
Can glass be so cheap that ordinary wealthy households can afford it?
How is that possible!
Even if the power is reduced, where can it be reduced? Eighty guan per piece? Or fifty guan per piece? Or simply be bolder and lower it to 20 guan per piece. Can ordinary wealthy households in the city afford it? Anyway, in Mo Hua's opinion
, let them install hundreds of pieces of glass in the house, which is still glass that breaks easily, just to make the house brighter, then it is better to kill them directly!
Looking at Mo Hua's expression, Fang Fengzhu knew that she definitely didn't believe it.
After all, she was a personal maid who had grown up together. Fang Fengzhu knew this girl very well. However, she was not interested in getting entangled in such trivial matters, and from deep down, Fang Fengzhu actually didn’t believe in Li Yuanjia.
If so, it is hard to believe that glass will truly become a common item in the future.
Too expensive and too fragile.
Let’s not talk about anything else. The glass windows that have been installed in the house will snap into pieces as long as they are closed with a little force. In just over a month, three or four pieces have been broken! If it weren’t for the king
I personally ordered not to pursue him, but those servants who broke the glass still don’t know how they will be punished!
One hundred pieces for one piece!
I'm afraid only the royal family, Zhao Guogong, and Hejian County Prince can use such a fragile thing. Anyway, as far as Fang Fengzhu knows, if Li Yuanjia hadn't donated dozens of yuan, I'm afraid his natal family wouldn't be able to use it.
…
Habitually keeping these things in mind, Fang Fengzhu opened the first letter with a calm expression on his face.
Sure enough, as Mo Hua said, it was in response to the June garden party.
This was the case after opening two letters in a row. Fang Fengzhu was smiling when she saw it, and her mood suddenly became happy. After marrying into Prince Han's palace, she seemed to be isolated from the world, although the king never restricted her from returning.
Fang Fengzhu lives in her natal family, but the feeling of loneliness without friends always surrounds Fang Fengzhu. Finally having the opportunity to reunite with her former friends naturally makes her very happy.
Picking up the third letter happily, Fang Fengzhu let out a light sigh.
So thick!
Compared with other text messages that were simply replied to on a piece of paper, this letter from Duke Zheng's Mansion was several times thicker! And one look at Fang Fengzhu's handwriting outside revealed that it was written by Wei Shuyue!
"How much has this girl written?"
While muttering secretly, Fang Fengzhu opened this "very informative" letter. After scanning it roughly, her expression gradually became weird: "This girl is so interested in those "Mathematics" books.
Interested? He actually wrote me a letter and asked a bunch of questions, but the reply to the garden party was put at the end..."
…
"Look, Your Majesty, this valley has basically been surrounded by us!"
After leading Li Yuanjia around for half a circle, Han Shan said respectfully: "I sent people to block the small gap in the north with a stone wall, and put iron caltrops on top to ensure that no one can climb over. As for that,
The opening on the south side is relatively large, so I also had people build a brick wall one foot high. Except for the one-foot-wide gate, there are houses for people living under the wall. In the future, it will mainly be for the guards..."
"Yes, Not Bad!"
After taking another look over there, Li Yuanjia's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded with satisfaction.
He didn't expect it when he came over there just now, but now that he heard what Han Shan said, Li Yuanjia somewhat understood what he meant - there were people living under the wall, and the chance of trying to break in without being discovered was much smaller.
And letting the guards and handymen live there, doesn't it mean to monitor the craftsmen?
However, Li Yuanjia would not ask these words. He just took a few glances and said in a deep voice: "Whether it is for the guards or the craftsmen, the house must be built well! Especially in winter, it will be very cold here. The craftsmen
You still have to work every day...Well, let's do this, after we finish the transfer, I will tell you a good thing, first find a house and try to build one!"
After hesitating for a while, Li Yuanjia decided to try the legendary fire kang!
There was no other way, he really couldn't afford to build a small coal stove.
Not to mention that due to the emergence of small coal stoves, coal prices and carbon prices are now rising steadily, which is too "luxury" for craftsmen to use. Let's talk about the small coal stove itself that requires the use of refined iron. Li Yuanjia does not dare to make a big deal about it.
Made for their use!
That was iron, one of the most in-demand materials in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuanjia can only use a few for himself, but if he really buys them on a large scale for his servants to build coal stoves...
Haha, I dare not think about it.
So after much deliberation, the heated kang is most suitable for use in this kind of place. It is up to them to decide whether to use coal or wood...
