In the last two months of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Datang was still not so calm.

Junzhou, Mingzhou, and Bizhou, there were rebels everywhere, and the Tang Dynasty needed to send troops to suppress the rebels and send officials to pacify the people. Although they are all guys who make Li Yuanjia feel funny, they are quite disgusting if they don't hurt people.

Fortunately, in this year, the Western Turks were divided into two, the threat to Datang was greatly reduced, and the security situation was further improved.

Insurgent rebellions in a few states do no harm at all.

It's just that the winter is too cold, and there are several heavy snowfalls in a row, which is a bit difficult for many people......

But this has nothing to do with Li Yuanjia, he doesn't have to go to the court early in the biting cold wind every day, except for the emperor's summons in Chang'an City, that is, an old man and an old lady need to interact daily, and there are not many opportunities to go out. In this way, not only can you perfectly avoid the wind and snow, but the cold when the snow melts is also kept out.

Even the people inside the palace and outside the city were spared the cold because of the coal piles that he had prepared in advance.

Of course, they don't have to think about coal stoves and briquettes or anything.

The coal stove needs to use iron, even the Han Wangfu is not so generous, and it can be used by the people who can use that high-end gadget. In addition to the two masters, that is, Han Shan, Han Lucheng father and son, as well as Chunyan and ink painting and a few close-fitting maids have this qualification.

That's it, Li Yuanjia also made a kind-hearted evaluation in the mouths of his subordinates.

No matter what the era, it is so unfair.

When the people in the Han Wang's Mansion were still using loose coal for heating, some people were already dissatisfied with the coal stoves that had just become popular in the homes of the Chang'an magnates.

"Brother-in-law, help me get one!"

When he came to Li Yuanjia's side, Fang Jun stammered: "I heard my sister say that it will only take a day or two to build a fireplace, so you can ask someone to get one for me." ”

"Hehe, go to your sister."

Glancing up at his brother-in-law, Li Yuanjia quickly lowered his head and refocused on the book in his hand.

Finally, he made an old "Western Regions Medical Book", and he was concentrating on it at this moment.

Looking at the "indifference" on his brother-in-law's face, obviously not wanting to pay attention to him, the corners of Fang Jun's mouth twitched, and he looked at Fang Fengzhu pitifully: "Sister......"

Glaring at his younger brother, Fang Fengzhu didn't wait for him to finish his words before saying, "Either you will complete the conditions that were given to you at the beginning, or you will find someone to do it yourself...... Hehe, anyway, you said it yourself, it's easy to make a fireplace! ”

"Uh......"

Rolling his eyes, Fang Jun was completely speechless.

Ever since he saw the fireplace in the eldest sister and brother-in-law's room, and experienced the feeling of heat nearby, Fang Jun was completely loveless for the two small coal stoves in his room - the volume was there, and it was clear which one was comfortable on this cold day.

But no matter how much he begged, Fang Fengzhu never agreed to build him a ...... It's not completely impossible, it's just that the other party made a request.

The first three volumes of "Mathematics", build it for him after learning!

For the sake of a fireplace, self-study three books?

It's not that Fang Jun is unwilling, it's just that those three math books seem too difficult. Even if the eldest sister agreed to teach him personally, it would take at least a month or two to learn it......

After a month or two, the winter is over, so why do you need a fireplace?

Thinking about it, Fang Jun waved his hand dejectedly and said, "Forget it, I don't want it!" I asked the masons at home to think about it slowly, and sooner or later I could make it! ”

Like he just said, it's not that hard to make a fireplace come out.

I've never seen this thing before, but it's easy to see its structure with a glance, and you can make it by finding someone to try it a few times, it's just a matter of whether it looks good or not.

"Hehe, that's fine."

Fang Fengzhu didn't care, nodded casually, and stopped caring about his brother.

Of course, she is not reluctant, after all, it doesn't cost a lot of money to build a fireplace, and she really looks angry at Fang Jun every day, and wants him to learn something steadily.

If this kid doesn't want to, just stay up with him.

Seeing that the eldest sister was still unmoved, a touch of despair finally flashed in Fang Jun's eyes.

But this kid is also a hearted person, but he is unwilling to compromise, and after sitting there and muttering for a long time, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, brother-in-law, is the new carriage ready?" It looks like it's the end of the year, can you make it before you go to Sanyuan County? ”

"Well, almost."

Glancing at his brother-in-law again, Li Yuanjia nodded and said, "There will be ten days at the latest, and it will definitely be done!" When the time comes, I will ask someone to send it to Xianggong, and I will definitely not delay the trip. ”

"Whew...... That's good, that's good. ”

Hearing him say this, Fang Jun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He came to his brother-in-law and sister today, not for a mere fireplace, that thing was not worth his special trip, but for the four-wheeled carriage that his brother-in-law built for his father Fang Xuanling.

Hearing his younger brother and husband talk about his father's affairs, Fang Fengzhu naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly added: "Don't worry, bereavement, I have already asked people to make a few thick curtains for carriages, as well as thick mats and quilts, which will definitely make my father sit comfortably by then...... Hehe, it's only more than 100 miles from Chang'an to Sanyuan County, so it's definitely no problem! ”

Fang Jun was completely relieved, but his eyes rolled, and he suddenly continued: "Brother-in-law, otherwise...... Would you like to have someone make me one too? After riding in your carriage, I really don't want to sit on that kind of two-wheeled anymore, the place inside is small and aggrieved, I can only sit honestly, and if the road is farther, people will fall apart! ”

"Want a carriage? Okay. ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Li Yuanjia said with a smile: "Wait for this time next year, I'll give you one." ”

Hearing this, Fang Jun was immediately anxious, and hurriedly said, "Huh? Next year? Don't brother-in-law, it's going to be too late next year...... Ahem, I have to say, can't you let the carpenters in the house rush to work and make me one before the end of the year? It doesn't have to be too good, it's strong enough, it's warm enough. ”

This time, before Li Yuanjia could speak, Fang Fengzhu snorted first and said angrily: "Do you think that the four-wheeled carriage is so easy to do, and it can be made for you if you say it?" Most of the carpenters in the house are busy in the workshops outside the city, where can I have time to make one for you? Don't mess around! ”

During the winter hunt, Li Yuanjia's carriage was taken away by the emperor, and he had to make a new one.

But the carpenters in the house are now helping out in the dumping workshop, and from the time of the winter hunt to the present, Chen Mu and they have built two cars at the limit. Li Yuanjia wants one for himself and one for Fang Xuanling, where is there any superfluity? Even the king's maternal uncle, Yu Wenshi, because he didn't have to follow the emperor to the tomb this time, the new carriage didn't have his share.

Looking at his brother-in-law's disappointed look, Li Yuanjia smiled slightly, and suddenly said: "Beloved, I definitely can't make a carriage for you, but don't you like to play cards?" I'll send you a few more later......"
