"It's so cold," the guard brought Lin Zhongchao a pot of wine.

I also put the wine jug directly on the small stove on the table, and on this cold day, warm wine is the most comfortable to drink.

"Are all arrangements made over there for the soldiers?" Lin Zhongchao asked with concern.

Many soldiers came from the south, and it was really difficult to adapt to the cold in the north all of a sudden.

"According to His Royal Highness the Prince's wishes, everything is done," the guard said respectfully.

On the one hand, this guard is responsible for the security of Lin Zhongchao's entry and exit, and is also responsible for helping Lin Zhongchao to convey orders.

Although Zhou Yuheng is also in the army, Zhou Yuheng thinks more about how to march and fight, it seems that only by winning the battle can Zhou Yuheng find his own value.

Although there has been no war in the near future, the war horses still have to be raised normally.

Every day, the forage for the war horses alone required several carts, which was actually not easy for the army in the north.

Fortunately, Lin Zhongchao was well prepared before, otherwise, many war horses would have starved to death.

It snowed heavily overnight, and the thick snow was piled on the eaves, and even at night, you could see the white snow through the moonlight.

Heavy snow on this Chinese New Year's Eve is also a good sign.

"You go get ready, I'm going to have a drink with everyone tonight." Lin Zhongchao stood up and shook his coat.

"Yes."

Soon, the barracks became lively, with those who set up tables and those who set up tents, and some who had good strength went to transport drinks.

Up and down the barracks, no matter where they are, everyone has their own wine glasses.

"Brothers, I can't stop you, so that you can't reunite with your families on this Chinese New Year's Eve, and you have to suffer from the cold here." Lin Zhongchao raised his wine glass and stood on the high platform and said loudly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried about the people and the country, without His Royal Highness the Prince, there would be no peace in my Daming Country today."

One of the lieutenants standing in the front row responded.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worries about the country and the people, which is really a blessing for my generation." All the soldiers said in unison.

"Okay, let's toast His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together," Zhou Yuheng picked up his glass and was the first to drink it all.

"You also have to toast General Zhou, if it weren't for General Zhou taking you from birth to death, how would you have the opportunity to make contributions." Lin Zhongchao lifted Zhou Yuheng up again as he spoke.

This is a kind of speaking ability that Lin Zhongchao is very good at, so that those who follow Lin Zhongchao often feel very comfortable, and they are willing to smear Lin Zhongchao's liver and brain.

"A glass to General Zhou." Everyone toasted together.

There were no women in the barracks, and the soldiers who drank it were also playing in different ways.

A few people who were able to drink well began to fight, and those who lost had to take off their coats.

Drinking and drinking, before I knew it, several people were already naked.

At this time, it was snowing again.

Although wine can keep out the cold, once the strength of the wine has passed, it is not ordinary cold.

Lin Zhongchao was afraid that the soldiers would be frozen, so he asked the guards to arrange manpower to collect the horse manure.

The excrement of this war horse is not as useful as cow dung. But when you burn it, you can still make the house a lot warmer.

In this remote border pass, there is no charcoal, and this horse manure is also very good.

After drinking, Lin Zhongchao personally inspected each camp tent, asked the guards to pile up horse manure at the door of each camp tent, and then lit it and burned it.

Although there was some smell, at least it was a lot warmer in the tent.

Because horse manure can be burned for a long time, even if everyone falls asleep at night, horse manure is still burning slowly, and no one needs to add materials or anything, which is very easy to use.

In addition to horse manure, Lin Zhongchao also came up with another way, that is, to set up a small tent in the camp tent, this small tent does not need to be big, as long as it is enough for people to lie down.

The big tent outside can block a lot of cold air, and the small tent inside can keep the heating in the tent as much as possible, so that the soldiers sleeping in the small tent can sleep beautifully.

This is also the most comfortable time for the soldiers in the northern military camp, and at this time, far away in the mansion of Wu Guogong in the south, Zhou Zhengzheng is also trying to find a way to make Lin Ce and Yiyu sleep warmer.

Although the Mansion of Wu Guo is in the south, the damp and cold air also makes people want to nest in the quilt all day long.

But children are playful by nature, even if they don't wear clothes, they have to go out to play, and they can't stop it.

Zhou Zhengzheng was worried that Lin Ce would be frozen, so he put on silk underwear for Lin Ce early.

This silk underwear is made of a lot of materials, all of which are made of silk, which doesn't look very good, but once you wear it on your body, it will immediately start to get hot, which is warmer than wearing a fur coat outside.

And Xiangyu is better than Lin Ce, because Xiangyu can't walk yet, maybe because Xiangyu is a girl, and she is not as active and playful as Lin Ce, Zhou Zheng just needs to give Xiangyu a tight bag.

"Crown Princess, what you want has been delivered." As soon as Xiaohong entered the door, she shouted loudly.

"Okay, put it on the ground." Zhou Zheng asked the nurse to hold Ruyu, and then turned around and walked towards Xiaohong.

"It's not bad, I'll use it right away." Zhou Zhengzheng nodded with satisfaction.

"yes, okay."

On the ground is a copper furnace, which is newly built according to the meaning of Zhou Zheng, and there is no such thing in the entire capital, even in the palace.

Zhou Zhengzheng was worried that Lin Ce and Yiyu would catch a cold when they slept at night, so he thought about putting a copper stove in the house, but when the previous copper furnace was burning, there would be a pungent smell wafting out.

Zhou Zhengzheng knew that those were not good, so he transformed the copper furnace and added a long pipe, so that when the copper furnace was burning, the smell would drift directly outside the house through this long pipe.

Although it looks a little ugly, after using it, the room really doesn't have that pungent smell.

"Well, if you do a few more of this, every room in the house will be replaced with this kind of copper furnace."

"Yes."

Soon, this copper furnace with an elephant trunk became a unique scenery in the mansion of Wu Guogong.

Afternoon.

After eating a bowl of rice balls, Lin Ce clamored to eat Yangchun noodles.

Zhou Zhengzheng had no choice but to ask people to make noodles.

Ruyu is holding a spoon and drinking soup.

With a bang, the jade hand was unsteady, and the spoon fell to the ground.

Luckily it didn't break. Ruyu burst into tears.

Zhou Zhengzheng hugged Ruyu, "Don't cry if you're good, but where did you touch it?" ”

Lin Ce ran over, patted Yiyu's shoulder like a little adult, and said, "Don't cry, don't shed tears easily." ”

Zhou Zhengzheng laughed "poof", hugged Lin Ce and said, "Ruyu is your sister, do you want to be good to your sister?" ”

"Yes, of course!" Lin Ce said to the pot, bowing his head shyly.

Zhou Zhengzheng was very satisfied with Lin Ce's obedience to her, and rubbed her jade-like feet.
