"Zong Shu, you said that smokeless charcoal in Mi County can't be put in the house before going to bed. Did you make the device you were talking about? ”

Zhao Huan remembered that he had told his father about it, and he didn't know if Zong Shu had done it.

No wonder Zhao Huan cares so much, because this year's winter is too cold.

"Your Highness, it should be almost. In a moment, I'll go to the porcelain workshop to have a look. Zong Shu said.

"For a while, it's okay left and right, let's go together." The prince suddenly had a whim and wanted to go with Zong Shu to have a look.

"Your Highness, you still have homework to complete." The waiter reminded.

"Sir, you've been talking for three days. Dare to ask sir, what have you been and what are you poor about? The prince was getting impatient.

The attendant was speechless for a while.

The crown prince was not like this before! How did he change as soon as he came into contact with this illiterate young master?

Zhuzhu also wanted to go out with her, but Zhao Huan didn't let her, saying that it was too cold, and if she got sick, the queen mother would definitely blame.

It seems that Yingluo's health is better, Zhao Huan took Yingluo and Wei's father-in-law with him and left the palace together.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw Lao Feng, the shopkeeper of the porcelain workshop, driving a few donkey carts with his men and standing far away.

Zong Shu was overjoyed in his heart, it seems that Lao Feng has done it!

Zong Shu walked over quickly, lifted the donkey cart, and sure enough, Lao Feng burned the things out.

"Lao Feng, has the sealant come out?" It's not too hard to burn things out, it's hard to get the sealant out.

"Young master, the sealant has been made, and not a drop of water can leak out." Old Feng Xi is colorful.

Zhao Huan looked at the things in the donkey cart, knocked on it and said, "Is this porcelain?" The outside is rough, but the inside is as clean as new, so strange. ”

"Your Highness, this is the main equipment for the Heating Pavilion. With the warm pavilion, the charcoal is placed outside the house, and the interior is as warm as spring. Zong Shu said.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River Basin already had a "warm pavilion", which was borrowed from the practice of fire pits in the north.

According to historical records, Cai Jing specially built a warm pavilion for himself at that time, and the whole body was made of a full 10,000 taels of silver.

The top and four sides of the pavilion are made of silver walls, and the front silver door is equipped with a complete room.

The craftsman pounds agarwood, sandalwood, borneol, and musk into fine powder, mixes it into a paste, and evenly brushes it on the inner wall of the warm pavilion.

When a distinguished guest arrived, the servants burned a row of charcoal basins outside the Silver Pavilion in advance, and at the same time, gently sprayed the roof and walls of the room with water.

Silver conducts heat quickly as a metal, and the outdoor stove quickly heats the entire wall and transfers heat to the cabinet.

The scented mud wall sprayed with water evaporates moisture when heated, which prevents the air from being too dry, and also carries the fragrance in the wall mud and releases it.

But as soon as this kind of warm pavilion appeared, it was immediately banned by the imperial court.

Because it's too luxurious, a small warm pavilion costs 10,000 taels of silver! Even if it's the emperor himself, it's painful.

At that time, Cai Jing wanted to dedicate this warm pavilion to Huizong, and Huizong ruthlessly demolished the warm pavilion and recast it into silver ingots.

Every year, they have to pay tribute to the Liao State, and the Western Xia and Jin States also come to fight the autumn wind from time to time, and the treasury of the imperial court is empty.

Once everyone comes to build a warm pavilion, the people of Liao will know, you are still so rich in the Great Song Dynasty, and the annual coins are doubled, what should you do?

Thinking that Cai Jing was so rich, under the instigation of Tong Guan, Huizong wanted to get him several times, but he didn't dare to make up his mind.

Cai Jing's power is great, if Cai Jing is killed, the shock will be too great, and Huizong will not be able to withstand the toss.

Therefore, Huizong issued a special edict strictly prohibiting the use of silver to make "warm pavilions".

Zong Shu knew that although this kind of warm pavilion cost a lot, the effect was actually not good.

It's just a silver house, and it's just a fire on the outside. Living in this kind of warm pavilion, people are equivalent to a roast chicken.

This kind of warm pavilion is not easy to control, the procedure is cumbersome to use, and the cost is even more scary, and it does not have promotion value at all.

"Your Highness, the warm pavilion I made uses porcelain pipes and water."

Zong Shu immediately explained that the green bricks of the room were dug up, the porcelain pipes were evenly laid on the ground, and the joints were sealed with sealant to prevent water leakage.

The porcelain pipes are separated and supported by green bricks, and then covered with wooden boards. Outside the house, water is boiled with stone charcoal, and the water circulates through porcelain pipes under wooden boards.

This plumbing is much better than pits. Because the temperature of the water does not exceed 100 degrees at most, and the temperature is easy to control.

Unlike the warm pavilion made of silver, it is easy to burn people.

"Your Highness, your past warm pavilion, people in it, easy to catch fire, poor ventilation, can't stay for a long time. There is no practical value. And we, ordinary people, can afford it. ”

As soon as Zong Shu explained, the prince's eyes immediately lit up.

Yingluo said: "This warm pavilion is so good, let's make one for the queen mother first." ”

"Well, I've got to give it a try. Just in my study, see what the problem is, and improve it. Zong Shu said.

"Then let's try it in the East Palace." Zhao Huan listened to Zong Shuyi's explanation and looked forward to the new warm pavilion.

Zong Shu thought about it, it would be good to try to make a warm pavilion in the East Palace, in case something was not suitable, it would be the East Palace that would be lost.

When everything is ready, come and renovate your room.

"Your Highness, let's try it out in the East Palace first. Our warm pavilion, declared to the outside world, is worth 10,000 taels of silver. Zong Shu said.

When Yingluo looked at Zong Shu, he immediately felt that this kid really had a taste, a kind of philistine and copper smell!

It's obviously a porcelain pipe, it looks so ugly, and it's priced at 10,000 taels of silver? Profiteers, black-hearted profiteers!

"Externally, we must have 10,000 taels, for high-ranking officials. The first grade of the official residence, 10,000 taels of silver for a warm pavilion, the second grade of the official residence, 8,000 taels of silver for a warm pavilion, the lower the official rank, the lower the fee we charge. ”

"For example, when we go to ordinary people's homes, we can pick out some difficult households and make warm pavilions for free."

"Our principle is: combine the actual situation, echelon pricing, so that every family can afford to live, and every household can enjoy the warmth of the imperial court."

There has never been such a price, isn't this offending high-ranking officials to death, so how can business be done?

"Zong Shu, when doing business, you have to be harmonious and make money, and you can't always have friction with others."

Yingluo felt that Zong Shu would scare Cai Jing today, scare Tong Guan tomorrow, make enemies everywhere, how else to do business?

"Where is life without friction? Friction is the only way to have a spark. If the ancients hadn't drilled wood, how could there be you, me and him today? ”

After Zong Shu finished reading the limerick poem, he smiled at Yingluo and said, "I really want to have a little friction with you, and only by colliding can there be sparks." Well, it's the spark of thought! ”
