Returning to Chang'an City from Fanchuan, Chen Shuda directly entered the Taiji Palace.

The fire kang and the firewood stove are an important discovery.

It is undoubtedly a great good news that can make the entire people of the Northland no longer suffer from the cold.

Since it is good news, it is natural to report it to the emperor as soon as possible.

When Chen Shuda entered the palace, Li Yuan had just put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Today's meal, His Majesty the Emperor is particularly satisfied.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Zheng Guanyin, sent two meals, smooth and loose tofu, and tender and refreshing bean sprouts.

made Li Yuan, who had been greasy and dry for days and was tormented by constipation, feel fresh and delicious.

If your stomach is comfortable, your heart will be much more comfortable.

Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Li Yuan ordered the waiter to take a jade ruyi and go to the East Palace to reward it.

No matter what the purpose, the daughter-in-law is always filial piety, and praise is due.

Without waiting for the inner servant Gong'e to finish cleaning up, Li Yuan beckoned Chen Shuda to meet him.

So, Chen Shizhong happened to see the leftovers taken away by Gong E, and saw the tofu and bean sprouts in it.

No wonder the Chen family's small courtyard has many visitors, so it is.

In an instant, Chen Shuda understood.

Interesting!

Especially seeing Li Yuan's satisfied expression, Chen Shuda felt more and more that the young man named Chen Yu was interesting.

"Zicong, why are you in a hurry to see me?"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty." Chen Shuda bowed and was quite solemn.

"Oh, what's the joy of it?" Li Yuan couldn't help but be interested.

Chen Shuda hurriedly came to the matter of the fire kang one by one and explained it in detail.

Li Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, such things that help people's livelihood are conducive to stabilizing the people's hearts.

For the Tang Dynasty, for him, the emperor, it was conducive to stabilizing his rule.

Especially now, it can be said that the urgent need has been solved, so that this ice and snow disaster will not continue to worsen, and can be improved.

"Does it really work?"

"Yes, the minister tried it himself, and the effect was excellent."

Li Yuan nodded, and laughed heartily: "Very good, the method of fire kang is simple and effective, and it should be vigorously implemented." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is true. The minister has ordered Yan Lide, the Shaofu, to recruit craftsmen and take the lead in implementing the method of fire kang in Guanzhong.

Within three to five years, it will be extended to Hedong, Hebei, Longyou, Hexi and other places to ensure that the people in the north will no longer suffer from the cold. ”

"Well, this matter will be handled by Shangshu Province."

"Yes!"

Chen Shuda received the order and continued: "This law also saves firewood, the news spreads, and within a few days, the price of firewood in Chang'an should fall."

In addition, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui are calming down grain prices, which has also been effective, and the disaster should be alleviated before the first day. ”

"Good!"

Li Yuan didn't ask much about the price of grain, he believed that the imperial edict, coupled with the face of the East Palace and the Qin Palace, would definitely be able to solve the matter.

"Zicong, where did you find the method of changing the stove from the fire kang?" Li Yuan was quite curious about this.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the idea of a peasant boy in Fanchuan, south of the city."

"Oh?"

"The minister has made a special trip to go, the young man is thirteen years old, but he is very intelligent and whimsy.

Moreover, he is loyal and kind, and shares this method with his neighbors without taking a penny, so that no one in his village freezes to death, which is rare in Chang'an.

The minister and Yan Lide heard the news and visited, and the young man took the initiative to offer his law to the court. ”

Chen Shuda thought for a while, did not mention the matter of tofu and bean sprouts, and continued: "The minister thinks that this law benefits the country and the people, and the young man is a benevolent and meritorious act, and the court should show it." ”

"Hmm!"

Li Yuan nodded, got up and walked to the bookcase, and with a big stroke, a few words jumped on the paper.

……

House of Goodness.

When the Chang'an County Order beat gongs and drums to send the plaque, Chen Yu was not particularly excited, and even a little disappointed.

This is the so-called table of the imperial court?

Do you think it will be a little monetary reward, or a low-grade official?

Who ever thought that it was a plaque, with a false name and a woolen use? Not practical at all.

Li Yuan slammed the door!

A reward for his son Li Shimin is 6,000 catties of gold, even if he gives himself 60 taels!

As long as he is not blind, he should know the value and significance of the fire kang.

But......

Chen Yu thought for a long time before he realized that it was true that the fire kang was effective, but perhaps in the eyes of the emperor and the government, he was just a craftsman.

Shinong businessmen and craftsmen are people of humble status and are not valued.

This is probably the reason why the development of science and technology has been slow since ancient times!

By giving the title of "Good House" to the neighbors for free, it is already a reward in the eyes of the imperial court, what else do you want to hope for?

What's more, these four words are - the emperor's imperial pen.

At least in the eyes of the Chang'an County Order, this is a great honor.

It can become his political achievement as a county magistrate to govern the local area, and it is a major event that can be recorded in the county chronicles, widely praised, and glorified for future generations.

If the emperor gave him a few words, he would definitely be grateful to Dade and repay the king's kindness.

Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly, in the feudal era, the royal way of buying people's hearts was also cheap.

A few brush words that are not majestic, not elegant, and not the hands of famous artists, make people excited to be cows and horses, and knot grass rings to report.

Alas!

It can only be said that there is a big difference between ancient and modern concepts.

Chen Yu didn't care much, but the villagers in Ju'anli were envious, the plaque of the royal royal pen, the glorious lintel, is simply the supreme glory.

When the men go out and the women go back to their parents' homes, they will make a big splash, and the excitement is as if they are themselves.

The whole village and neighbors are envious of the Chen family one by one.

There are many people who stand far away from the fence of the Chen family, wanting to see the style of the imperial plaque.

Seeing Chen Yu, he was full of compliments and envy.

Many women even have bright eyes, regretting that they are too old or marrying early, and then push their daughters or sisters forward.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious, as long as Chen Yu hooked his fingers and threw himself into his arms, it was not a problem to warm the bed and sleep at all.

Seeing the eyes of those women and the strange expressions of the little girls, Chen Yu was covered with goosebumps and hurriedly avoided them.

Alas!

What kind of reward is not really beneficial, but it causes a lot of trouble.

If it weren't for the old saying that "a good house, there is a good afterglow" with a good meaning, Chen Yu really wanted to remove the plaque and chop firewood.

Of course, if that happens, the Chang'an County Decree will immediately send himself to prison for contempt of the emperor.

No way, then keep hanging!

Slowly, Chen Yu discovered that the emperor's imperial pen was not all useless.

When other restaurants began to draw hot pot in the same way, Zhou Fakui, who found that he might be pitted, did not dare to come to the door to retaliate.

When Chang Si came to Chen's house again, his attitude became more and more respectful.

With his support and assistance, the Juanli bean products workshop was built quickly and started in time for the beginning of the month.

Originally, the women in the village thought that the method was complicated and required a long period of study and training.

Who would have thought that when he heard Chen Yu explain the method, he couldn't help but be shocked.

How easy it is?!

It seems that you can ...... at home.

Some people couldn't help but have evil thoughts in their hearts, but when they thought of the strict rules set by the whole village and the glittering plaque in the Chen family hall, they didn't dare to have delusions.

As a result, a series of soy products such as tofu, bean sprouts, bean skin, dried bean curd, and bean curd were successfully listed before the New Year's Festival.

Chang'an vegetable market has a lot of variety, but due to the limited quantity and high price, only rich families can enjoy it for the time being, but it is still in short supply.

In just one month, Chang Si sent 800 Kaiyuan Tongbao to Chen's family.

The profits are high and the money is so fast that Chen Yu can't help but be speechless.

However, Chen Yu also understands that the windfall profit is only one or two months.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching and the weather is about to get warmer, the price of bean sprouts will inevitably fall after the green vegetables are on the market.

As the scale of production expands and the production increases, tofu will return to its rightful price.

But this is all a later story, at least the Chen family and the villagers in Ju'anli, every household has extra money, and they can have a fat year first.

On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the men who were recruited by the government to repair the kang returned to Ju'anli with their wages.

That night, Chen Yu gathered the elders of the village to distribute the dividends of the soybean products workshop, and each family received a lot of money.

The faces of the whole village were full of smiles and they were happy and ready to welcome the New Year.

Nine years of martial arts, in a blink of an eye......
