Chapter 192: Thirty Nights Have a Lot of Thoughts

When the New Year's bells come.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan couldn't eliminate the cold snap, the only thing the two of them could do was to send the cotton that Shuzhou had planted and harvested early this year, and had just been transported to Sanshui County to make clothes to the northernmost area of Datang.

In addition to the quilts and cotton clothes that had been transported, Wang Juan also took the military map and circled a few places with a pen on it, so that the local people could find a way to dig them, and the approximate location of those places could find coal mines.

Zhang Xiaobao has thought more than once, it would be good if there was heating, but if it didn't work, he would hide in the house and go out as little as possible, but unfortunately, this wish was too difficult to achieve, relying on the strength of his own home to make a small boiler, maybe it would work, if he wanted to heat in a certain state or several states at the same time, not to mention whether the money could support it, even the materials were not ready.

Where you can use heating now, maybe the marble room in the palace in the future, I hope Li Longji won't forget that there are still people who are freezing to death when he is warm.

When the hot dumplings were brought to the table, the sound of New Year's greetings sounded among several families who celebrated the New Year together.

There are still people performing on the set up stage.

In the excitement, a group of little guys ignored the singing and dancing of the people on the stage, and were led by maids and handymen to play with flowers, and the winter in Shuzhou was not warm, at least this year was dry and cold.

It is a pity that there is no heavy snow, and there is no ice covering, and the lack of snow scenes and ice lanterns makes many people living in the north a little unaccustomed.

Old man Bi always flashed a trace of worry in his eyes in the lively atmosphere, and they didn't want to mention things at a happy moment, so they had to find Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan who took the lead in setting off fireworks.

"Xiaobao, do you think there will be people in the north who will freeze to death?" Old man Bi frowned and listened to the fireworks exploding one after another, and shouted loudly to Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao heard the voice, opened his mouth twice, and simply pulled the four old men into the room next to them, and spoke here at least better than outside, and when the crackling firecrackers rang in his ears, he shouted to the four old men in the same way:

"My family can't help it, didn't they start building a lot of kang a few years ago? I guess there's nothing going on. ”

When he said this, Zhang Xiaobao felt a little disobedient, no matter how much kang he repaired, someone should freeze to death and someone would still freeze to death, but he didn't have any way, let alone now, even when he and Wang Juan were at that time, when the cold snap came in winter, it was impossible to keep everyone safe, and there were still people who died of heat stroke in summer.

"Can you send some more cold-resistant stuff over? Like what's in that shell you sell? Rub it on your hands and face to at least keep your skin from freezing and cracking. ”

Old man Bi shouted again.

He also knew that every year people died of heat and froze to death, he couldn't think of any way before, but now that he has the things of the Zhang and Wang families, he feels that he can try to do better.

Zhang Xiaobao doesn't think that antifreeze ointment can save people's lives, but since Old Man Bi has brought it up, he can only accept it, nodded and shouted: "Then send a few more cars of things over, and after the New Year, my family will specialize in making a kind of heating supplies, I hope that people in the north can have money to make it, next year, oh, it will be better if you encounter such a situation again this winter." ”

Zhang Xiaobao thought of the earthen boiler, a very simple thing, built in the furnace, installed with water circulation, connected to the outside of the tube, you can heat, stronger than the kang, the heat dissipation of the kang is too poor, it is not cold to stay on it, if the house is bigger, standing far away from the kang, it is still freezing.

Zhang Xiaobao has experienced such a cold, when he sleeps at night, lying down, his back is hot and uncomfortable, his nose is cold and red, and people in the countryside use earthen boilers, as long as there is fire in the stove, it is much more comfortable.

Old man Bi was satisfied, "I know that your family has a way, can the biogas digester be used there?" ”

Zhang Xiaobao felt that Old Man Bi was really whimsical, when it was cold in the north, the use efficiency of the biogas digester was too low, he shook his head slightly, and he didn't speak this time, but the meaning was very clear.

"Forget it, let's go, go out and see the excitement." Old man Bi said regretfully, and the sound was directly covered by the sound of firecrackers and fireworks outside.

This year's Chinese New Year, the people of Shuzhou are much better than in the past, every family has spare money, there is no need to worry about a meal of dumplings, even if the family lacks labor, there is also white flour and meat.

According to tradition, Zhang Zhong still sends things to poor households this year, and the people next to the state capital will personally send them, and those who are far away will also send people to send them, in anticipation of a good New Year for everyone.

The capital is also very lively at this time, since there is such a good means of publicity as the ice lantern, the merchants have spared no effort to dress up the capital.

As the emperor, Li Longji is also enjoying the joy of the New Year, he has a very beautiful room, all made of white marble, even if the outside can freeze people into ice, the inside of the house is still so warm.

The fireworks bloomed in the night sky one by one, Li Longji had to come from the warm room to have fun with the people, looking at the ice lanterns on the distant street with clairvoyance, and then looking at the bright fireworks in the sky, the cool and lively atmosphere of the night made people feel like they were in a dream.

A gust of cold wind blew, which made people shudder, and after taking the stove handed over by the side, Li Longji finally remembered that there was still a place in Datang that couldn't even spread the news, and the people there didn't know how much they would freeze to death, so he turned his head and asked the person next to him: "Gao Qing, what do you say will happen to the north at this time?" ”

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, the minister has received the news, the Zhang family in Sanshui County dispatched a large number of frames a few days ago, and transported all the cotton clothes and quilts that Luzhou just transported to the north.

Gao Lishi replied, and immediately pointed to a place not far away, where colorful lanterns were carried and looked very beautiful at night, so as to use this to divert Li Longji's attention.

Li Longji nodded slightly, and said: "Every time the Zhang family moves the fastest, it's a pity, it's still late, if you can do it early, I think there will be fewer deaths, Gao Qing, you said that if you send Zhang Zhong to the north, will it be possible to make it stable even if you encounter such weather again next year?" ”
