Of course, she didn't delve into it, and after a little doubt, she waved her hand and said, "Go to the palace!" ”

The carriage continued to move towards the Great Song Palace under the escort of all the masters.

Their appearance and departure did not have the slightest impact on the liveliness at the Changsha City Gate.

People kept leaving with baskets carrying honeycomb coal, but more and more people poured over, making the queue longer and longer.

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, all of them were lamenting the good of the court.

I heard that these honeycomb coals were made by the imperial court hired laborers, and in such weather, the imperial court could completely use this to sell the honeycomb coal at a high price. However, the price of honeycomb coal is so low that it is beyond the imagination of the people, and compared with the high price of charcoal, it is no different from giving it away for free.

Some scholars have calculated the cost of making honeycomb coal, and finally found that the imperial court sold honeycomb coal at such a low price, but it was actually a loss-making business.

Although the loss is not much, it also makes the people even more grateful to the Great Song Dynasty.

Some people from a slightly remote part of the city did not leave immediately after buying honeycomb coal, but knelt down at the gate of the city and bowed to the palace.

Natural disasters don't seem to be so terrible anymore.

Even because of the appearance of honeycomb coal, there are more vegetables in the city.

These honeycomb coals are not only used for heating, but also to keep the temperature in the greenhouse high.

Although this was not proposed by Zhao Dongting, there are always people with wonderful ideas who discovered the many uses of honeycomb coal by chance.

Even in Changsha, some families have replaced firewood with honeycomb coal for cooking.

Li Xiushu and a group of people went to the front street outside the palace.

There were many palace guards in several piles, each crouching on the ground.

Seeing the carriage arrive, a guard ran up and stopped the carriage, "Palace forbidden place, stop!" ”

As he spoke, the hot air exhaled from his mouth and turned into a white mist in the blink of an eye.

Li Xiushu lifted the curtain and nodded to a female sword officer in front of the car.

The female sword officer untied the token from her waist, handed it to the guard, and said, "The Emperor of Western Xia has arrived, please pass it on!" ”

The Praetorian guards were a little confused.

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't have imagined that it was the Empress of Western Xia.

After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly took the token, and ran towards the crowd again, "Boss, the person who came said that it was the emperor of Western Xia." ”

The group of guards who had been surrounding the fire all stood up when they heard this.

Among them, the centurion took the token from the hand of the janissary, hurriedly looked at it, and said: "Quickly enter the palace and report to the emperor!" ”

A janissary took the token and hurriedly ran towards the palace.

The centurion looked at Li Xiushu's carriage, scratched his head, and muttered two words in his mouth, so he squatted down again.

The guards around him also squatted down.

In the midst of them, there were several pieces of honeycomb coal.

And not far away, there are more honeycomb coal piles up.

In such weather, if they don't use honeycomb coal for heating, it will be difficult for them to survive.

When Li Xiushu saw this scene, her eyes showed surprise again.

She saw the many honeycomb coals piled up at the entrance of the palace, which seemed to be a bit unseemly.

Then she got out of the carriage and walked towards the group of guards.

The female sword officers and the masters of the Tingchao Mansion all followed.

The guards looked at Li Xiushu and walked over, although Li Xiushu was not wearing a royal robe, but it could be seen from her demeanor that she was not an ordinary person.

The guards had no choice but to stand up again, and under the leadership of the centurion, they bowed their hands to Li Xiushu and said, "I have seen the Emperor of Western Xia." ”

Li Xiushu actually showed a rather soft attitude, looked at the burning honeycomb coal in the crowd, and said with some curiosity: "What are you using to keep warm?" ”

The centurion suddenly showed a slight look of pride and said, "This is honeycomb coal, invented by our emperor." ”

Li Xiushu nodded lightly, "Coal can also be used for heating?" ”

The centurion said: "The rest of the coal can't, but this honeycomb coal invented by our emperor is non-toxic." Hehe, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to withstand the cold. ”

A little surprise flashed in Li Xiushu's eyes, "Yes, the climate in the Great Song Dynasty is indeed a little abnormal this year. ”

She rushed to the Great Song Dynasty from Zhongxing Mansion, and since she arrived in the territory of Jinghu North Road, she has also clearly noticed the abnormal coldness of the climate.

After that, Li Xiushu actually stood in the same place and also made a fire here. It seems that there is some interest in honeycomb coal.

The Great Song Forbidden Army was just surprised.

It is said that the Empress of Western Xia has extraordinary means, but I didn't expect it to be so approachable.

After a while, the guards who had gone to the palace to spread the word were about to come out in a hurry. Only behind him, there are quite a few people who follow.

Zhao Dongting, who was wearing an imperial robe, was particularly eye-catching.

He had just rushed over from the imperial study, with Li Goudan and many eunuchs by his side.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, his eyes met with Li Xiushu's eyes.

Seeing that it was really Li Xiushu, Zhao Dongting was inevitably a little surprised. After all, before she came to Changsha, she didn't even have the slightest news.

Then Zhao Dongting smiled lightly and shouted to Li Xiushu: "Empress." ”

Li Xiushu also chuckled, "Emperor Song! ”

There was no embarrassment between the two at all, as if the discord between the two countries had never happened before.

Then, Zhao Dongting took Li Xiushu and his group into the palace.

Li Xiushu walked away from the coal pile, and before she walked more than ten meters away, she felt a little cold, and wrapped her clothes tightly.

She asked Zhao Dongting: "Emperor Song, was this honeycomb coal invented?" ”

Zhao Dongting nodded and said: "This year, many places in the Great Song Dynasty are freezing cold, and charcoal is in short supply. It was also with great difficulty that I came up with the method of refining this honeycomb coal. ”

Li Xiushu turned her head to look at Zhao Dongting rather playfully, "Emperor Song is so knowledgeable, it's really admirable." ”

Zhao Dongting chuckled twice and did not answer.

To say that he is erudite, he is really a bit embarrassed. If it weren't for the memories of his previous life, it would be strange that he would be able to figure out this honeycomb coal.

Li Xiushu followed up and said: "We often have cold weather in Western Xia, but I don't know if Emperor Song is willing to ...... this bee What does the method of refining honeycomb coal teach us? ”

The moment she saw the guards at the gate of the palace using honeycomb coal for heating, she thought about this honeycomb coal. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have the patience to stay there and talk to the guards.

Zhao Dongting smiled: "You can." The refining method of this honeycomb coal is now known to many people in Changsha City, and the empress can also know it by sending someone to ask. ”

He apparently didn't want to keep the method of honeycomb coal refining secret from the beginning.

The emergence of this kind of thing may not affect the development of thermal weapons in this era, but it can allow the people to receive real benefits.

Zhao Dongting is not so narrow-minded.

Mo said that if he taught the honeycomb coal refining method to the Western Xia, it would be transmitted to the Yuan Dynasty, and even to other countries, and he didn't care, and he was quite happy.

The nations conquered and conquered, and the people were innocent. At this point, Zhao Dongting always has a sense of proportion in his heart.

Li Xiushu looked at Zhao Dongting, and her beautiful eyes showed a little complicated color.

After that, the two of them talked and walked, and led everyone to the depths of the palace.

The female swordsman brought by Li Xiushu and the master of Tingchao Mansion were all taken away by the guards.

Li Xiushu followed Zhao Dongting to the harem.

On the way, Zhao Dongting asked Li Xiushu: "Why did you suddenly come to Changsha in micro-service?" Do you want to meet Xiao or do you want to ......?"

Li Xiushu said softly: "Both." ”

Zhao Dongting frowned slightly, "If it is ordinary, I can provide a lot of help to our Western Xia." But now, natural disasters have struck, and I'm afraid it's embarrassing. ”

Li Xiushu didn't show any dissatisfaction when she heard this, she only smiled: "It's okay, I can afford to wait." Although our forbidden army has suffered countless losses, the four major military divisions have also broken their muscles and bones. In a short period of time, there should be no more conquests in our Western Xia territory. When the winter passes, it's not too late to help us in Western Xia. ”

Zhao Dongting nodded, "Then what help do you want me to provide you?" ”

When Li Xiushu heard this, she asked meaningfully: "No matter what I propose, will I agree?" ”

At this moment, her eyes were quite charming.

Zhao Dongting touched his nose and said, "As long as I don't shake the Great Song Guoben, of course I will do my best." ”

The Western Xia Forbidden Army and the Four Great Military Divisions ended up defeated, and this incident was also unexpected by Zhao Dongting. Similarly, it also made him feel a little guilty about Li Xiushu.
