Last time, Liang Xu wanted to improve his quality of life in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and listed some experimental projects that he thought were relatively easy to achieve.

Half a month later, Liang Xu and his entourage finally crossed the Yellow River and entered the border of Beihai.

The Taishou of Beihai County is the famous Rangli Kongrong, but Liang Xu is not interested in this sour Confucian successor at all, so he did not go to the county to govern Yingling County. Donglai Tai Shici still has some attraction to Liang Xu, but Donglai is a bit far away, and Liang Xu wants to realize too many wishes, too many things to be busy, and he has no time to chase stars. So Liang Xu stopped in Anle County, which is close to the mouth of the Yellow River.

Liang Xu and they found an inn in the city to rest for a day, and early the next morning, Liang Xu asked Liang Sheng to go out to find a contact point for the Taiping Sect, get in touch with the people of the Taiping Sect, and ask the Taiping Sect to assist them in finding a hidden place to live for a long time in the coastal area.

Although Liang Xu did not plan to reveal his true identity to the world, he also changed his previous mind of completely staying out of the matter, and he had already asked Zhang Liang for the contact information of the Taiping Sect in various places.

Liang Sheng came back after going out for less than half a day and told Liang Xu that the matter had been done, and the church would arrange for someone to come and take them over the next day.

The next day, Liang Xu and the others followed the guide sent by the Taiping Sect to re-embark on the road, and after walking for another two days, they finally reached the end of the trip: a fishing village that did not even have a name.

It is said to be a fishing village, but it is actually a military camp, and the headquarters of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is stationed here. The fishing village was also built here with their families in the army, so it doesn't even have a name.

The land of Dahan ushered in the first cold air in 184, and the temperature dropped sharply. And Zhang Ping and his party are still on their way to Beihai.

In order to avoid being discovered by the Han court, Zhang Ping used Liang Xu's name back after separating from Zhang Liang.

This is the first time that Liang Xu has directly experienced the cold winter of the late Han Dynasty outdoors since he traveled to the end of the Han Dynasty.

Liang Xu was a southerner in his previous life, a southerner who never saw snow all year round, and he was full of childlike curiosity about the winter in the north, of course, mainly because he wanted to see the snow, just like his compatriots who lived inland would want to see the sea.

It was now the fourth year of his arrival at the end of the Han Dynasty, so he was no stranger to snow, but it was the first time he had left the house with a warm kang and faced the bitter north wind.

At first, he insisted on driving his pony carriage alone. As soon as the cold air arrived, he surrendered, hung two lines of snot, and got into the ox cart amid Zhao Yue'er's teasing.

The ox cart has four walls, and there is a stove burning inside. But the house of the oxcart is not a real house after all, and it is ventilated everywhere, which still makes Liang Xu feel uncomfortable. What's even worse is that at this time, there are no woolen sweaters, no big cotton jackets, let alone any down, relying on leather jackets made of animal skins.

Fortunately, Liang Xu's family has money, so he can wear leather jackets and leather boots. He really couldn't imagine how ordinary people spent the winter at this time.

But the most fortunate thing for Liang Xu is the treasure left by his father, which is the bamboo slip of "Taiping Yaoshu". As long as he takes it out and looks at it, it always makes his body feel warm, and this feeling is especially obvious in the cold winter. "Taiping Technique" is obviously an ultra-high-tech warm baby. This discovery made Liang Xu very pleasantly surprised, and he couldn't put it down in love with "Taiping Technique".

This little episode reminded Liang Xu of another goal he had in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, to improve his life, starting with his own food, clothing, housing and transportation, and picking some simple and easy-to-achieve ones. For example, woolen sweaters may be able to organize the tribes of nomadic people in the north to produce woolen sweaters, and it can also drive their economy and improve their lives. Maybe their lives will improve, and they won't always think that they won't be able to survive the winter, so they will go south to grab food from the Han people. Murong Xuanzheng seems to be a foreigner, maybe he can ask him to help get some pilots.

In addition to woolen sweaters, in fact, cotton jackets are also very easy to make, but Liang Xu has not seen cotton so far, and he has no idea what the plants that produce cotton look like, so even if he has seen it in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he can't recognize it. However, Liang Xu has seen kapok in the south, and may be able to fill cotton clothes with cotton wool from kapok.

That's what I've thought of for the time being. Then there's the food.

Speaking of food, it is also an important reason why Liang Xu does not like to travel through the ancient times. As the saying goes, people take food as the sky, but the cooking technology of the Han Dynasty is not as good as the ghost stalls that operated without a license on the roadside in later generations, not only is there a serious lack of condiments, but you can't find chili peppers if you want to change the stimulating taste. Liang Xu can't get chili peppers at all, and he can't get money.

Liang Xu sometimes regrets that he traveled back to ancient times, why he didn't wear America, there are treasures everywhere since ancient times, peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, cocoa, and cute alpacas...... Or wear it to the Ming and Qing dynasties, when the Age of Discovery in Europe had begun, and the people in the Central Plains could finally come into contact with products from all over the world from the comfort of their homes. If there had been no policy of banning the sea at that time, it is estimated that the Chinese would have left a strong mark in that magnificent era.

Although Liang Xu has no way to break through the boundaries of geography to obtain spices and condiments from other places, the essence of chicken may be able to try to make it. It is impossible to produce more, because the animal husbandry in the Eastern Han Dynasty is too scarce, but there is no problem just to supply it for one's own home.

In terms of living, Liang Xu has always been not very particular, but he still has a lot of opinions about the house in the Han Dynasty. One is that there is no air conditioning, and it is so hot in the summer. It's just that Liang Xu has no way to deal with this problem. There are too many technologies in the air conditioner, and the scientific and technological level of the Eastern Han Dynasty cannot be made at all. The other is that the lighting is very poor, the windows are all made of paper, and the light transmittance is very average. Many of them say that the protagonist made glass, and maybe you can try it yourself. Liang Xu studied chemistry when he was in high school, and he talked about the manufacture of glass. It's just that I haven't used it for many years, and I basically forget it, just remember silicon oxide, which is the main component of sand.

Finally, there are lines. Planes, trains, cars, ships, etc., the only thing you can think about is to design a shock absorber for your own car: the pony carriage, and that's it.
