Chapter 113: Stove vs Ondol

Out of the city gate, Zhang Junping began to ride his horse and gallop, there was no one on the pipeline, so he didn't have to worry about a car accident, he could run as much as he wanted.

The black horse is worthy of sweat and blood, the sky is full of snow, nearly ten centimeters of snow does not affect at all, Zhang Junping knocked the horse's belly, the black horse let out a cheerful neigh, and suddenly turned into a black lightning, disappeared in the snow, leaving only pieces of snowflakes behind him.

Zhang Junping's first stop was the Jiading camp.

Rushing to the camp, Zhang Junping blew the bronze whistle of the assembly.

"Ruixue is a good year, but it's not good if the snow is too big, and it's easy to cause snow disasters!

Now, you thirty squads, divided into three squadrons,

Zhang Yang, you take your squad and the 22nd to 30th squad to Chengnan Farm!

Zhang Yu, you take your squad and the thirteenth to twenty-first teams to Chengdong Farm!

Zhang Ming, you take your squad and the fourth to twelfth squads to be in charge of Chengxi Farm!

Go to the three farms to inspect door to door, focusing on checking whether there are any houses that have been collapsed by heavy snow, whether there is food in the tenants of the farm, whether they are burning charcoal, and those who burn charcoal must give them an explanation, be careful of charcoal poisoning!

If the house collapses, the charcoal poisoning is immediately rescued and temporarily relocated to a nearby tenant farmer's house.

In addition, count the grain of the tenant farmer's house, and then go into the city to report to me! Zhang Junping didn't say anything, and directly began to give orders.

"Yes!" The three hundred Ding agreed loudly.

"Put on your cloak and go!" Zhang Junping ordered loudly.

The three hundred family members quickly returned to their rooms, put on their robes and hats, and walked into the vast snow under the leadership of the three temporarily appointed squadron leaders.

After giving the order to the family, Zhang Junping did not stay, and returned home directly.

"Lang Jun is back?" Knowing that Zhang Junping was back, Zhang Fu and Zhang Lu rushed over to see him.

"Uncle Lu, you can go to the grain merchant in the city and buy 200,000 stone corn or millet rice!"

"Lang Jun, what are you buying so much corn for?" Zhang Lu asked puzzled.

The Zhang family is from the north, and they usually eat wheat and rice, and rarely eat corn and millet rice, which is a grain that only poor people eat.

"It's been snowing for almost a day and a night, and there's no sign of stopping! I don't think it's going to be a snow disaster, so prepare the food in advance, and be prepared! ”

"Okay! I'm going to buy food...... Just corn and millet? Do you want rice and wheat? ”

"How much food do you have at home?"

"There is still a lot of food at home, enough to eat for a few months!"

"Then you don't need to buy it, the food will be sent directly to the academy, and the blacksmith and carpenter will be called to come to the house!"

"Whoa!"

Zhang Lu agreed, turned around and went to do what Zhang Junping explained.

"Fu Bo, at home, please inform me not to burn charcoal in the room to avoid charcoal poisoning!

Do you still have charcoal at home? ”

"There are many, in winter, I bought 200,000 catties of charcoal!"

The Zhang family has a big business, and 200,000 catties of charcoal are really not burned.

"Then send it down, everyone uses charcoal for heating, and it is not allowed to use charcoal for heating!"

"Whoa!" Zhang Fu agreed and did not leave, "Lang Jun, if everyone burns charcoal, the charcoal is still a lot worse!" ”

Coal is also coal, the price is cheap as long as three cents per catty, during the Song Dynasty, many people used charcoal to cook and heat, but there is a fatal shortcoming, that is, it is easy to gas poisoning.

Charcoal does not exist in the case of gas poisoning, but the price is twice as expensive as charcoal, a pound costs six yuan, this is still the price of summer, in winter, each catty is more than fifteen yuan, ordinary people are willing to burn charcoal for heating, even if it is a large household like the Zhang family, charcoal is not willing to give heating to the next person.

The 200,000 catties prepared in the house were for Zhang Junping's aunts, younger brothers and sisters in the backyard to keep warm.

"For the time being, I thought of a way to burn charcoal without poisoning, and after a while the blacksmith and carpenter came, and I discussed it with them!

If it is feasible, all the houses will be burned with charcoal in a while! ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Fu was ordered to make arrangements.

After explaining this, Zhang Junping will go to his own house and change his clothes, his clothes have long been warm and dry, but they are still a little damp and uncomfortable to wear.

Then I went to the study and began to design a charcoal-burning stove, as well as a fire kang.

The fire kang has been there for a long time, and there was already a fire kang as early as the Sui and Tang dynasties, but it was not passed over from Kaifeng.

Zhang Junping is also preparing with both hands, if the blacksmith can't make the stove and chimney that Zhang Junping wants, then he can only use the kang to keep warm.

One hour, the blacksmith and the carpenter braved the heavy snow to come to Zhang's mansion.

"I've seen Zhang Guanren! I don't know what Zhang Guanren commanded? ”

"Master Liu, Master Wang! It's snowing so hard to trouble you to run! Zhang Junping greeted with a polite smile.

"It's not hard, it's not hard! Zhang Guanren has something to do, just command! ”

"Good! Master Liu, take a look, can this thing be made? Zhang Junping showed the stove and chimney he had painted to Blacksmith Liu.

"This is the stove, and this cylinder is small, although I don't know what it is for, but the small one can be made!" Blacksmith Liu looked at the drawings, pondered for a moment and nodded and said.

"How much does such a set cost?"

"The small one hasn't been done, but according to Zhang Guanren's pattern, how can this set cost three times!" Blacksmith Liu thought for a moment and said.

In the Song Dynasty, the cost of a pound of iron alone cost forty wen, how could this set of stoves and cigarette barrels weigh forty or fifty pounds, and it is not too much money to pay three times, Zhang Junping did not bargain, and asked directly: "How long can it be made?" ”

"This, the little one hasn't done it before, so I guess it will take two days!"

"In this way, you gather the blacksmiths of Kaifeng Mansion and do it together! According to the pattern I gave you, a set of three dollars, I want to do as much as I can! ”

"Okay, don't worry, Zhang Guanren, I'll gather everyone to make these stoves and cylinders for Zhang Guanren when I go back!" Blacksmith Liu happily agreed.

With such a heavy snowfall, Blacksmith Liu and the others were worried that they had no business, so Zhang Junping sent them a big business.

"You gather more manpower and strive to make a set of samples tomorrow afternoon, I have an urgent need!"

"Yes, I just don't sleep at night, and I will make it for Zhang Guanren tomorrow!"

"How much money you want, you will go to the Fu housekeeper to withdraw it later!"

"Zhang Guanren said with a smile, what you want, then you still need to set the money!" Blacksmith Liu complimented.

"I want a lot of things, and you also need money to buy pig iron, so you're welcome, you can go and withdraw a hundred pieces first!"

The rest is made and the bill is settled! Zhang Junping shook his head with a smile and said to Blacksmith Liu.

"Thank you Zhang Guanren, thank you Zhang Guanren! These officials in Kaifeng Mansion are the most kind! Blacksmith Liu happily bowed to Zhang Junping again and again and thanked him.
