Li An categorically rejected Li Kunxiong's request, although the temperature inside the greenhouse is very warm, but because the environment is too closed, the longer you stay inside, the thinner the concentration of oxygen will become, which is very bad for people's health, and it is easy for people to feel weak in their limbs due to lack of oxygen.

In addition, all the vegetables in the greenhouse have been planted, and the servants will come to work every once in a while, and it would be unsightly for them to live here.

"Big brother, I'm just joking, but it's warm and really comfortable, if only the room could be so warm."

Li An smiled when he heard this, and said: "The room can also be so warm, when the renovation of the main house is completed, the room will become as warm as here, and when the time comes, let you all experience it." ”

"Really, that's great."

In fact, Ang Lee's renovation of the main house, in addition to building a bathroom with excellent thermal insulation, is also the construction of a heating system.

The heating system is actually very simple, it is to build several fireplaces in the interior of the room, of course, these fireplaces are not used for cooking, but for heating the room.

Each fireplace has a chimney that leads to the roof, so that the waste of combustion is kept out of the house, preventing gas poisoning caused by combustion.

This kind of facility was very popular in Europe in later generations, and almost all Westerners' mansions would have this kind of indoor fireplace for heating, and the Chinese area was popular with clay kang, not to mention how warm it was when sleeping.

Li An originally planned to build an earthen kang, but in this way, the transformation of the original room would be too big, and Li An always felt that sleeping on the earthen kang always had a feeling of being roasted on the fire, and he was a little uncomfortable in his heart.

And the construction of the fireplace is much easier, moreover, the fireplace looks taller, more than the soil kang foreign gas, the decoration of the commercial housing in later generations does not need a fireplace at all, and there is no way to build, but there will still be people to build a model of the fireplace, from a distance to see that it seems that the fireplace is burning, in fact, it is just the flame of the electronic screen.

Ang Lee had craftsmen build several fireplaces in various parts of the room that needed to be heated, and for the sake of the beauty of the room, the fireplaces were all wrapped in wooden planks, leaving only a small opening that could be stuffed into the firewood.

Li Kunxiong and Li Feiyu, hearing that it can be very warm indoors, hurriedly pulled Li An and asked to go to the main house to have a look at the site to satisfy their curiosity.

The amount of work in the main house is a bit large, and it can not be completed in a day or two, but the craftsmen have already begun to renovate, at least at this moment, there should be a certain prototype.

In the main residence of Ang Lee's Mansion, dozens of craftsmen are busy nervously, some are building fireplaces, some are building bathrooms, some are building tables, chairs and rocking chairs, and a craftsman is frowning and studying the flush toilet, as if he is very curious about the new thing he has just built.

"General, this thing is done, but the villain really can't see what it's for."

The craftsman fiddled back and forth with the flush toilet he had made, with a puzzled face, he had lived so big, and had built all kinds of furniture, but he had never seen such a new thing as a flush toilet.

Li An walked over, tried the wooden toilet that had just been made, felt that the quality was not bad, touched the inner wall, and said: "It's not good inside, continue to polish, the smoother the better." ”

The inner wall of the flush toilet in later generations is smooth porcelain, even then it is easy to deposit dirt, Li Ang has not been in the condition to make a ceramic toilet for the time being, so he can only replace it with a wooden one, and in the construction process, the inner wall is rough and easy to deposit dirt, so Li An asked the carpenter to polish the inner wall of the toilet bowl smooth, even if it is not as smooth as the porcelain of later generations, but at least it must be as smooth as possible to slow down the speed of dirt.

"Big brother, you said a few days ago that this is for compliments, but how should this be used?"

Li An smiled: "Don't worry, it's not completely done yet, just let you try it after it's done, now the big brother says more, you haven't used it and can't understand, let's go in and see how the fireplace is doing." ”

Inside the main house, the fireplace has been almost built, and the craftsmen are sweeping the tail to remove the edges and corners of the wooden boards and the unsuitable places to make the fireplace look beautiful and elegant, and in the position of the fire door, the craftsmen have deliberately wrapped it in metal to prevent sparks from splashing out and igniting the surrounding wooden boards.

The principle of the fireplace is very simple, so that the craftsman has just built it, and he understands the role of this facility, especially the craftsman who has seen the clay kang, and even more so understands the role of the fireplace.

"Big brother, this is a stove!"

"No, it's called a fireplace, it's built on the wall, and as long as you light firewood in it, the temperature of the firewood will quickly spread to the wall, and then the wall will become very hot, and then the wall will transfer the heat to the house, so that the inside of the house will become as warm as in the greenhouse."

Li An patiently explained, however, such a simple principle, there is no need to explain, Li Kunxiong and Li Feiyu also understand.

"Haha, this is really ingenious, I have to build a fireplace like this in my house, hey, big brother, how did you come up with this."

Of course, Li An will not say that he is a descendant, he has already understood this, thought for a moment, and said: "This thing is very simple, the eldest brother is so smart, just think about it and come out." ”

"Yes, big brother is so smart."

Looking at the admiring gazes of Kunxiong and Feiyu, Li Anxin was proud for a while, these things are nothing to future generations, but in the era of the Tang Dynasty, they can cause a sensation.

"General, the rocking chair is ready, do you want to try it?"

After the craftsman made the rocking chair, he shook it himself, and suddenly understood the magic of the rocking chair, but this rocking chair belonged to Ang Lee, and he didn't dare to sit on it at will.

Li An walked outside the house, came to the side of the rocking chair, stretched out his hand and shook it, feeling that it was not bad, relatively strong, so he lay down comfortably.

With your eyes closed, you can lie comfortably on the rocking chair and bask in the sun, and from time to time your body is pressed down to make the rocking chair sway.

However, the only fly in the ointment is that there are a few rough men standing next to him, if there are soft girls standing beside him, taking turns to massage themselves, let themselves smell the fragrance, then it will feel even more refreshing.

Li An really wanted to leave and let the maid of the mansion come over to give him a massage, but it seemed that it was not the time yet, and marrying Yan Ruyu, a great beauty, home as soon as possible was the most important thing.

Seeing Li An's intoxicated appearance, Kunxiong, Feiyu and the master craftsman all widened their eyes and looked at Li An without saying a word.

Li An swayed for a moment in one breath, and then slowly opened his eyes and looked at the craftsman: "Yes, you did a very good job, this rocking chair is very comfortable, Kunxiong, Feiyu, you also try." ”

Li Kunxiong glanced at Li Feiyu, lay down on the rocking chair rudely, and then followed Ang Lee's example, swaying back and forth on the rocking chair with his eyes closed.

"Big brother, it's really comfortable to lie on the rocking chair! That's fine. ”

When Li An was lying on the rocking chair just now, Li Kunxiong was still a little unimpressed, thinking that it was just lying on the chair and shaking, what was the big deal, how comfortable it could be, but he tried it himself, and it was really a comfortable mess, and he didn't want to come down at all.

"Second brother, come down, it's time for me to try."

Seeing Li Kunxiong's comfortable expression, Li Feiyu pulled him up, lay on it by himself, and shook comfortably.

"Big brother, this is really comfortable, but why do you want to make one? Do a few more, one of our brothers, one by one, and then the time will save the competition. ”

Li Feiyu is a little fond of rocking chairs and wants to have one of his own.

Li An smiled: "The eldest brother is not so stingy, it's just that the eldest brother can't be sure how effective this thing will be before letting the craftsman make it, but now it can be determined and can be built in batches." ”

"Build in batches? Big brother, how much are you going to build? ”

Li An smiled slyly, looked at the craftsman and housekeeper Zhao Liu beside him, and said, "You two think that if this thing is brought to the streets of Chang'an City, will it be sold?" ”

"Ah Lang, if this thing is really comfortable, then it must be marketable, Zhao Liu has been in the capital for thirty years, and he has never seen a rocking chair that can make people so comfortable?"

"General, the villain also thinks that he should not worry about sales, but he really doesn't dare to pack tickets!"

Li An said cheerfully: "You two lie down and try to feel it." ”

"Don't dare, villain don't dare."

Zhao Liu and the craftsman did not dare to make Ang Lee's chair.

How could Li An be so dogmatic, grabbed Zhao Liu, threw him down on the rocking chair, and said loudly: "Relax, shake and see, how does it feel." ”

Zhao Liu saw that he couldn't refuse, so he shook it boldly, and immediately showed an excited expression, and immediately got up and said: "Ah Lang, as long as this thing is put on the market and allowed others to try it, it will definitely be sold at a good price, and it will definitely not worry about sales. ”

Obviously, Zhao Liu, as an old housekeeper, has been in the capital for thirty years, and he has long understood the aristocratic personality of the capital very thoroughly, and such a comfortable rocking chair will definitely become the favorite of those big masters.

Ang Lee was overjoyed, looked at the craftsman, and prepared to put the craftsman down on the rocking chair.

"General, the villain will come by himself, and the villain will come by himself."

Seeing that the housekeeper Zhao Liu had already made a rocking chair, the craftsman was also bolder, and he lay down lightly and felt the fun of rocking the chair.

The craftsman didn't dare to enjoy the fun of the rocking chair too much, so he quickly got up and exclaimed: "General, the rocking chair is definitely not marketable, but the rocking chair structure is relatively simple, and it is not much difficult to build. ”

Ang Lee doesn't care about long-term problems, as long as he can make a lot of money in the early stage, as for the future, in Ang Lee's mind, there is more than just a strange thing like a rocking chair, when others begin to imitate rocking chairs on a large scale, rocking chairs are the price of cabbage, and at that time, Ang Lee can launch new products.

Of course, Li An is already a five-grade official of the imperial court, and the money given by the imperial court is enough to support him and his subordinates, and there is no need to make extra money, of course, the money is not biting, seeing the rocking chair manufactured, Li An was greedy for a while, and felt that there was nothing bad in making a handful of money, anyway, it was the money of the nobles.

Li An looked at the craftsman and Zhao Liu, and said: "Large-scale manufacturing of rocking chairs requires a large number of carpenters, this matter, I am going to hand it over to the two of you to be responsible, just make it in the open space in the big backyard, and the finished products are stacked in the front yard room, all the carpenters' daily wages are double, and the two of you are special, it is three times." ”

"General Xie, I don't know how many carpenters the general plans to recruit, the villain knows a lot of craftsmen, there are hundreds of people, as long as they are given double wages, they must all rush to come."

The craftsman looked excited.

Li An thought for a while, and said heroically: "You can summon as much as you want, I will ask for it all, Zhao Liu, you are responsible for buying wood and paying for wages, in addition, remind the cook in the front yard at any time to let them cook according to the number of people in the mansion, and no one craftsman can starve." ”

"Ah Lang, don't worry, I will definitely do these errands."

Zhao Liu was able to play a role for Ang Lee, and he felt that he had become a useful person again, although he would be very tired, he felt very happy.

The craftsman who made the first rocking chair in Datang was an old craftsman with very good skills, and he was also an old acquaintance found by Zhao Liu, he heard that Li An could give him three times the salary this time, and his enthusiasm increased many times at once, and he immediately ran to gather people, he believed that he would be able to summon a large number of craftsmen with twice the salary.

There is still more than half a month to go before the Chinese New Year, and Ang Lee wants to use this half month to build rocking chairs and sell them during the New Year to make huge profits.

Stimulated by double wages, more than 50 craftsmen gathered at Ang Lee's mansion, of which 40 craftsmen immediately started work, while Zhao Liu led the remaining 10 craftsmen to the West Market to buy wood of various materials for the construction of rocking chairs.

The reason why Li An chose to build in the big backyard is because the place in the big backyard is large enough for fifty craftsmen to be able to spread it well, and the winter weather is relatively cold, it will not rain, at most it will snow, which will not destroy anything, and when necessary, use linen to support a shed, which can block the impact of falling snow.

A large amount of timber purchased from the West Market was quickly transported to Ang Lee's mansion and stacked in the large backyard, so that it was much easier for the craftsmen to access it.

When the carpenters began to process the wood, Ang Lee inspected the side and found that different carpenters had different habits, and fifty carpenters gathered in the big backyard seemed a little chaotic, and the efficiency of making rocking chairs was relatively low.

This reminded Ang Lee of the assembly line operation in later generations, although the assembly line is very boring, but it can save time and improve labor efficiency to the greatest extent. (To be continued.) )
