The current Great Song Dynasty Palace is far less magnificent and imposing than the Forbidden City in later generations. Since the beginning of the construction of the Liang Dynasty after the fifth generation, it has only been more than 40 years, during which there have been several dynastic changes, and the time for construction is very little.

Many palaces, because of the frequent changes of dynasties, have become unfinished buildings.

Wen Qihang and others are now living in a secondary hall of the Shengping Building, although the main hall of the Shengping Building has been completed, but this auxiliary hall is only a semi-finished product, and we are collectively referred to as the blank house in later generations.

It is not a joy to live in such a large hall with leaky winds, especially on this cold winter night.

Fortunately, Wen Qihang was still prepared, and three carbon stoves were brought in, which were originally intended to be used for cooking, but now it seems that they can only be heated first.

Seeing a large group of gentlemen crowded on the Chase bunk, tightly wrapped in the futon, shivering, Wen Qihang sighed in his heart.

The lawless gentlemen, who have always been self-respecting and lawless, have become quails since they entered the palace. It's not as good as the students who came to help cook.

"Brother Wen, it's really a little cold! ........ But what can be done? ........ How can you sleep like this! Pan Huaizheng's voice was frozen and trembling.

"Yes, Brother Wen, this is too sinful, not to mention preparing more bedding for us." Takachi Jun snorted hard at his hands.

"In such a big place, there are only three carbon stoves, and it doesn't matter!" Shi Baoji's teeth chattered.

"It's too cold today!"

"I'm really going to freeze to death........

Seeing that the voices of the gentlemen complaining were getting louder and louder, Cao Can hurriedly stopped him: "Shhhhh Be quiet, don't make noise, next to it is the residence of the Queen Mother, disturbing her old man's rest. I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to complain. ”

"Hold on, and after dawn, I'll go to the king's chamberlain to ask for some bedding." Wen Qihang smiled bitterly and said with relief.

In fact, I didn't expect that it would suddenly cool down tonight. The howling north wind, with a sharp whistle, slammed violently on the attic windows of the main hall, making a creaking sound, and it seemed that it was in danger of collapsing at any time.

In ancient times, the main halls were all designed with high ceilings, and although the design was very avant-garde, the heating measures could not keep up. To make such a huge space warm like spring, it is obviously impossible in the era of relying on charcoal basins for heating.

Especially in places like the Imperial Palace, although it is full of all kinds of looted treasures, it is the slowest to accept new things.

The carbon stove has long been popular among Beijing teachers since the invention of Wen Qihang. Even the guy who hates Wen Qihang to the bone is cursing Wen Qihang while enjoying the convenience brought by Wen Qihang.

It's a pity that the lives of royal people are very valuable, and it is impossible to use a thing that has not been verified.

Only after the folk have been used for one or more winters and it has been proved that the charcoal stove is indeed safer and more effective than the charcoal basin, will it enter the royal family's couch.

After all, there are always many people who die of poisoning due to the use of charcoal basins every year.

Although he was very helpless when he heard Qihang, as long as he thought that Zhao Lao Er was also frozen and shrunk on the bed, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Brother Wen, can you still laugh?" Seeing and hearing Qihang, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Pan Huaizheng said depressedly.

"I just suddenly thought of a deal that would make a lot of money." Wen Qihang replied unexpectedly.

"Oh, Brother Wen has always been a bit of a trick to turn stones into gold, I don't know what kind of business it is?" Takatsu Jun said with interest.

"Jibeibu, White Stack." Smell the mystery of sailing.

"Cloth?" Cao Can wondered.

"Yes, this food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Since ancient times, it has been a lucrative business. Wen Qihang said with a smile: "Clothes, but in the first place." ”

"But there are many merchants who make silk, linen, and jibeibu?" Pan Huaizheng said disapprerovingly. I thought that Wen Qihang had some brilliant idea, and the result was to do this kind of business, which is not unusual, and the whole world is doing this kind of business.

"There are a lot of people who sell cloth, but I didn't say I want to sell cloth!" Wen Qihang smiled slightly.

"I beg your pardon, brother, for being stupid. Can you please specify Brother Wen? Seeing and hearing that he set sail to sell Guanzi, Cao Can said with a wry smile.

"Ahh Look, what is this for my brother? Wen Qihang lifted his robe and said.

"Shameful clothes!" Pan Huaizheng wondered.

"You touch." Smell the fairway.

Pan Huaizheng grunted, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "........ Brother, I'm greedy and lustful! Brother Wen, you, this appearance is also beautiful........ No, it's handsome. But brother, I really don't have this hobby!

Especially in front of the brothers........ If Brother Wen really thinks, it's better to wait for no one, it's good! ”

This damn guy actually thinks he likes men! Smelling Qihang, he said, "I don't have this hobby. ”

"And ........ this?" Pan Huaizheng said in surprise.

"I'm asking you to feel if this dress is warm." Wen Qihang explained angrily.

"Oh, Brother Wen, you said it earlier! Surprise me! Pan Huaizheng said with a long sigh of relief.

"How?" Seeing that Pan Huaizheng finished touching it, he asked proudly.

"Brother Wen, what kind of clothing is this, that is, soft and warm?" Pan Huaizheng touched the cotton clothes on Wen Qihang's body.

"Actually, it's not because of the clothing." Wen Qihang shook his head with a smile and said, "But inside the clothes, there are a lot of white stacks for my brother." ”

"Oh? White stacks, and this effect? Seeing this, he set sail and tore a hole in the cotton coat and took out some white velvet from it.

Wen Qihang explained: "In fact, white stacks do not need to be spun into silk threads and made into fabrics. As long as it is made into this kind of velvet and sewn into the clothing, it is not much different from the warmth effect of cashmere. When you lived with me, the bedding you covered at night was a quilt made of white stacks, and you know the effect very well. ”

"I really didn't expect Bai Diezi to have this kind of effect before!" Pan Huaizheng said in surprise. No wonder, everyone was frozen like a monkey, only Wen Qihang this guy, relaxed and freehand, and thought that he was talented and not afraid of the cold, and his feelings were to wear such a treasure.

"How's it going, are you interested now?"

"Yes, yes, it's just that this thing is only cultivated in small quantities in the Western Regions. This price, I think Brother Wen also knows, it is difficult to popularize! Pan Huaizheng sighed. Clothing, a livelihood product, is to make money from mass production, and a small amount of output, even if it is sold expensive, it is difficult to make a lot of money.

"What if we move the white stack into the Central Plains for planting?"

"Feasible?" Pan Huaizheng said excitedly. Orange is born in the south of Huai and is orange, and orange is born in Huaibei and is orange. For crops, the biggest problem is that they are not adapted to water and soil.

"How do you know if you don't try!" Wen Qihang smiled.

Pan Huaizheng couldn't help but sigh and said: "Yes, such a profitable business, why hasn't anyone tried it before?" Even if it fails, it is just a harvest of a few acres of land.

Even if the people's families can't afford to lose, it will definitely not have any impact on our Zhongming Ding Food Family.

But once it succeeds, it will be a feat for the ages! ”

"This world is very big, even if we are not officials, we will have many opportunities to leave a name in history." Wen Qihang said in a positive voice: "Men should be self-reliant, don't bear life." ”
