Li Jian brought over a black wooden plate with three three-legged bronze wine tripods on it, this thing is not popular in this era, or Jiang Chuan turned out of Hai Dongqing's secret silver cellar, and simply used it as a wine glass. Fastest updates

Jiang Chuan picked up the first wine tripod, raised his head to the sky and said loudly: "First cup, to the soldiers who died in battle to kill the Tartars, may you be immortal!" Dry! ”

After speaking, he slowly spilled the wine glass at his feet.

He picked up the second wine pod and said loudly: "The second cup, to all the soldiers who died in this battle, may you be evergreen!" Dry! ”

He spilled a second glass of wine at his feet.

"The third cup, to all the people of the Ming Dynasty who were killed by the plague of Tartars in this land, may your souls rest in peace. Dry! ”

Three glasses of wine were slowly sprinkled on the high platform to pay tribute to those who had lost their lives. All the officers and men of the Jiang family's army, as well as the people present, bowed their heads solemnly, and the lead clouds in the sky became lower and lower, as if to cooperate with this solemn and heavy atmosphere.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ji, Ran Wu, Bai Shan, Shanjia and other high-level Jiang family army all stepped forward to pay respects.

When all the procedures were completed, a six-petal snowflake also fluttered down from the lead cloud and fell into Jiang Chuan's palm.

The first snow in the twenty-seventh year of Daming Jingrun has finally arrived.

……………………

In Erlong Valley, the plaque of the General's Mansion has been replaced by the Wu'an Hou Mansion, which is still inscribed by Liu Ji, but this time it is a plaque that is serious, and I don't use a wooden plaque to deal with it casually.

Now this Hai Dongqing's old mansion is no longer suitable for the mansion of Wu'anhou, according to Liu Ji's words, the pattern is too small, and the specifications are too small, which does not reflect the status and majesty of Wu'anhou.

Liu Ji suggested building a new house for Jiang Chuan, but Jiang Chuan refused. Jiang Chuan's reason is also very simple, wait until the three cities in southern Liaoning are laid down to talk about repairing the house, and there is no need to engage in these formalisms now.

And to build a house in this ravine, no matter how big it is, it doesn't feel like it's on the table.

The snow had been falling for three days, and it was still falling, and the snow on the ground was so thick that it could drown your calves with one foot, and the whole valley was silent, except for the occasional sound of drill from the barracks.

The whole valley was covered in silver, and when you looked at it, it was all white, and the eyes of those who watched it hurt.

Jiang Chuan had never been to the boundary of Liaodong in his previous life, and he knew that the winter in Liaodong was so fierce in this life. The snow is so strong that it seems to be endless, and the whole world is a vastness.

His former hometown was in the ancient city of a provincial capital in the west, although it was also in the north, but there were two or three snows every winter, and the snow could reach the ankles and make people excited, jumping and shouting one by one and running out to have a snowball fight. Compared with the snow in Liaodong, it is too small and childish to be on the table.

Not to mention those in the south who have seen snow for the first time in their lives, if they see such a big snow in Liaodong, they will probably be excited before they are frozen.

However, it is also very annoying to have a lot of snow, and the snow in the yard has to be cleaned up constantly, and if it is not cleaned for a while, it is a thick layer.

Bai Mu and Li Jian took a group of guards wearing thick cotton clothes to clear the snow in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and after a while, everyone became pulsatilla.

It was cold, and the council hall outside couldn't stay, so Jiang Chuan asked people to change their study into a warm pavilion.

It is said that it is a warm pavilion, but in fact, there are two more things for heating, one is a fire kang, and the other is a stove.

The fire kang is something that almost every person in Liaodong has now. Without this thing, this long and bitter winter would not have been able to survive, and if you don't do it, you will freeze to death.

Jiang Chuan is no stranger to the ondol, and he also grew up on the kang in his previous life. However, the fire kang in the northwest is not the same as the fire kang in Liaodong.

The fire kang in the northwest has a separate chimney, and then the kang door is outside the house, so that the whole house will not be smoky and burning when the kang is burned. There are also stoves, and they also use a separate tin chimney to exhaust smoke to the outside to avoid gas poisoning.

Of course, gas poisoning here is not carbon monoxide poisoning, but carbon dioxide poisoning.

The fire kang in the northeast is more peculiar, and a sealed chimney is used to connect the stove with the fire kang. When the stove was burned, the heat went down the chimney to the kang, and the kang became hot.

Moreover, the fire kang in the northeast should be matched with the fire wall, that is to say, the wall is hollow, and firewood is placed in it, and when it is burned, the heat will quickly spread to the whole house, and the whole house will soon become warm like spring.

Jiang Chuan was sitting on a recliner at this time, holding a fire tong in his hand and stirring the fire from the fire door under the stove to make the fire more vigorous. There was a small clay pot on the stove, and water was boiling in it, and it was steaming hot.

He was wearing a loose white Yanju regular clothes, his face was very ruddy in the warm environment of the room, and he had a shallow smile on his face.

Liu Ji sat across from him, also on a bamboo recliner, holding a steaming cup of tea in his hands and talking to Jiang Chuan.

"Lord, according to our current measures, there should be no freezing death in the valley this winter. Before the heavy snowfall, every household had built ondols and stoves, and although the fire walls had not yet been popularized due to time constraints, these were basically able to ensure the heating of the people. And the charcoal you let the prisoner camp dig from the back mountains is almost enough to keep you warm this winter. ”

"That's good, this is our first winter in Liaodong. No matter how strict the implementation of the decree is on weekdays, but on weekdays, we must let the people feel the tangible benefits of following us, and when it comes to specifically, no one will freeze to death or starve to death in this winter. With tangible benefits, the people are more willing to follow us. Cang is honest and knows etiquette, and only after the people are well fed and clothed can they be in the mood to talk about the righteousness of the family and the country. According to Maslow's hierarchical needs theory, this is also the meaning. The economic base determines the superstructure. ”

Jiang Chuan said as he stirred the stove.

Liu Ji naturally understood Jiang Chuan's words in front, but he was confused about Maslow and the economic foundation in the back.

Jiang Chuan's mouth was smooth, and after finishing speaking, he saw Liu Ji's blank face, and then he knew that he was a little confiscated.

The thick door curtain was suddenly lifted, and a delicate figure wearing a plain jacket skirt, a white lying rabbit on her head, and a white rabbit fur cloak flashed in, it was Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan stood at the door, looked at Jiang Chuan with a smile and said, "Master Hou, guess who is coming?" ”

Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment, looked out of the door, and Qi Xuan completely opened the door curtain again, and a chill suddenly poured in, but there was a pretty white figure standing at the door, looking at himself with his lips pursed.
