Putting down the pen and ink in his hand, Qin Tianlong reached out and held it in his arms, and pinched her little face dotingly, his face was full of smiles at the same time.

Since the appearance of this little guy, plus the birth of his two daughters, he has somehow not been as indifferent as he once was.

On the contrary, he loves this little niece and two little daughters very much, and even looks at other children, which is much more pleasing to the eye.

In the past, except for the crown prince Qin Lang, he had always been indifferent, and he had never loved any of his children as much as he did now.

"Xi'er, why did you enter the palace today? What about your father? ”

"Daddy is teaching fifteen things, and no one plays with me, so I decided to go into the palace to find the prince's brother, and by the way, go to Yaoguang and Yaoxi."

Qin Xi is also honest and tells the reason directly.

"Since your father doesn't accompany you, as long as you like, you can go into the palace at any time to find your uncle, or go to Yaoguang and Yaoxi."

"Uh-huh!" Qin Xi's little head was hard.

After chatting for a while, Qin Tianlong asked Qin Lang to take Qin Xi into the harem.

Qin Lang didn't say anything, he left with Qin Xi, and rode to the harem in the ancient carriage of the water antelope.

Not long after, Qin Lang and Qin Xi came to the palace where Yuling lived, Tianxiang Palace.

Yuling, who is located under the gazebo, is playing with her two daughters in the cradle at the moment.

Since eating the "Zhuyan Pill", Yuling has not only changed her appearance back to twenty-three or four, but also become more beautiful, which makes people a little fascinated by it.

"Aunt Yu~"

Hearing the milky shout, Yuling looked for prestige, only to see Qin Lang walking from a distance with Qin Xi.

Stunned for a few seconds, her face was full of surprise.

Walking to the pavilion with Qin Xi, Qin Lang smiled and said, "Auntie." ”

"Hmm!" Yuling nodded with a smile in response, and her eyes showed excitement.

Due to the needs of work, Qin Lang has not been here for a long time, and because of her own reasons, she has not seen Qin Lang either.

At the invitation of the other party, Qin Lang sat on the stone bench and chatted with him, and by the way, he talked about what happened to Xiling.

Hearing so much exciting news, Yuling was a little shocked and speechless, but she was still very worried about the safety of the other party.

Although she knew that the emperor secretly sent masters to protect him, no one could guarantee whether those so-called masters could protect Qin Lang and keep him from being harmed.

After chatting for a long time, Qin Lang looked at the two sisters Qin Yaoguang and Qin Yaoxi in the cradle, and then smiled and stretched out his hand to tease them.

At first, the two little ones were still disgusted, but gradually, they accepted each other's favor.

For these two little guys who dislike themselves, Qin Lang naturally understands the reason.

I haven't seen them for a long time, and I will naturally disappear in their impressions.

Reaching out to pick up his sister Qin Yaoguang, Qin Lang smiled and said, "Yaoguang, I haven't seen my brother for so long, do you miss my brother?" ”

Unable to speak, Qin Yaoguang just giggled there, and even reached out to touch Qin Lang's face.

rubbed his face on the other party's face, and kissed him again by the way.

Seeing her sister Qin Yaoguang being hugged and kissed by her brother again, Qin Yaoxi was immediately envious.

Qin Lang, who twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth, had no choice but to put down Qin Yaoguang in his hand, and then picked up his sister Qin Yaoxi, kissed her little face by the way, and finally put her back on the cradle.

Regarding the jealousy of the two daughters, Yuling couldn't cry or laugh in her heart.

Qin Xi, who was standing by the cradle, kept teasing his two younger sisters and telling them about things outside.

Yuanbao, who was lying on her head, also kept shouting.

Compared with her sister Qin Xi in front of her, the two sisters Qin Yaoguang and Qin Yaoxi are more curious about Yuanbao......

Time flickered, and it was dusk in the blink of an eye.

Since Qin Tianyuan, the king of Pingyang, was still working in the "Zongren Mansion", Qin Xi also stayed in the palace to accompany Qin Yaoguang and Qin Yaoxi.

Of course, this is allowed by Qin Tianyuan.

And he also made a special effort to contact the emperor.

Qin Xi didn't have any opinions, but was very happy.

Although she has never met her mother, Yuling has given her enough maternal love.

And because the time had come, Qin Lang did not stay in the harem, and returned to his East Palace in the ancient carriage of the water antelope.

After returning to the East Palace, Qin Lang did not go to sit under the gazebo, but entered a special room and sat by the charcoal fire.

It's late November, and the night temperature is very cold, sometimes reaching nearly 20 degrees below zero.

In a few days, in December, it will snow, and it will last for two or three months.

The average time is two months, and occasionally only three months, which is from December to February of the following year.

According to the memories left by the predecessors, it snowed a lot in this world, and many people would die because of this cold weather due to insufficient heating.

If you go to some areas of extremely cold places, even if you are a strong martial artist, you will still receive a boxed lunch.

"Squeak!"

With the sound of the door opening, Chen Gui came from outside with a basket and closed the door by the way.

Walking in front of Qin Lang, he put down the basket in his hand and said, "Your Highness, the sweet potato you want, the slave and maid have already found it for you." ”

"Hmm!"

Nodding, Qin Lang stretched out his hand to place the sweet potato next to the charcoal kang, looking at his skillful technique, it seemed that he was roasting sweet potatoes.

Seeing this, Chen Gui was a little confused.

Then he asked puzzledly: "Your Highness, what are you doing by placing this sweet potato next to the charcoal kang?" ”

"Grill and eat it."

"Grilled?" Chen Gui was a little dazed and said, "Your Highness, shouldn't this thing be steamed and eaten, right?" Or use it to make pastries! How can you eat it grilled? ”

In his impression, almost all sweet potatoes are steamed and eaten, or made into pastries to eat.

But this is the first time he has seen it roasted and eaten.

"You'll find out later." Qin Lang mysteriously didn't answer too much.

Chen Gui didn't ask any more questions.

And he also understood one thing at the moment, that is, why some time ago, Qin Lang wanted to dig such a pit here, and he was still burning the black (charcoal) thing, the original other party wanted to roast sweet potatoes.

Every attic in the palace has a heating formation, so you don't have to worry about the cold in winter, and you don't have to worry about being shivering from the cold.

Even the places where the palace maids and eunuchs stay have their own heating formations, so there is no need to worry about being shivering from the cold when you go to work.

However, most of the people who have heating formations are from those families, and ordinary people can't afford to hire formation mages to arrange heating formations for them at all.

In addition, the heating formation is difficult to arrange, most of the formation mages can't complete it, and only a very small number of formation mages can, which also leads to the fact that only those people from the family can have the heating formation.

Ordinary people can only help themselves survive this icy winter by burning wood for warmth.

However, the temperature provided by firewood is very limited.

Even if the temperature supply is limited, people will store large quantities of firewood before winter comes.

Make sure the whole family gets through this icy winter.

And because the winter is too cold, at least 100,000 people die in the winter every year.

Most of these people who froze to death were the elderly, children, or small babies who had just been born for a short time, and among them, babies accounted for the largest proportion.

Chen Gui asked suspiciously: "By the way, Your Highness, what are these black things you burned?" ”

"Charcoal!"

"What is charcoal?"

"It is made of wood and has a charcoal-like shape, hence the name charcoal. With this thing, people ......"

As soon as he was halfway through his words, Qin Lang's face stiffened, and he turned his head to look at the charcoal next to him.

If he remembers correctly, people in this world generally burn firewood for the winter.

There is no such thing as charcoal.

If you tell people how to burn charcoal, you can not only gain a wave of goodwill, but also increase your prestige.

At that time, if you rebel yourself, there will not be many people who gossip and accuse themselves.

As soon as he thought of this thought, the corners of Qin Lang's mouth unconsciously raised, and his heart was as happy as if he was blooming.

But soon his smile stiffened.

Now that the time to burn charcoal has been missed, even if someone wants to burn charcoal, there is no time to do it.

After all, the weather is getting colder and snow is about to fall, so people don't have the time to burn the charcoal.

Even if someone burns this charcoal, it is only those families, and only they have the ability.

Just as he was disappointed, it occurred to him that if the royal family had burned the charcoal and then sold it to others, the result would not be the same.

Moreover, the charcoal sold to people by the dynasty does not require much money at all, and the quality can be guaranteed, and it will definitely not be filled indiscriminately.

After all, if it is indiscriminate, it will not only leave a bad impression on the people within the dynasty.

It may also lead to scolding from everyone.

Thinking of such an idea that he could not only make a fortune but also brush up his favorability, Chu Xuan decided in his heart that he would discuss it with the emperor tomorrow.

His game with the princes has begun, and now that he has the opportunity to brush up his favorability in front of the people of the dynasty, he will naturally not miss it.

At this time, there was a knock at the door, and Chen Gui stood up from the cushion next to him, and then walked to the door.

After a while, he turned back again.

By the way, close the door again.

Walking in front of Qin Lang, Chen Gui handed the scroll in his hand to Qin Lang and said, "Your Highness, this is a document sent by the National Teacher. ”

Taking the scroll handed by the other party, Qin Lang spread it out and looked at it.

After ten lines at a glance, he clearly learned that according to the estimation of the national teacher Ye Xingchen, the winter from December this year to February next year will be unusually cold.

In addition to this, there is the possibility of a blizzard, and the whole territory is covered.

After reading the contents of the scroll, Qin Lang was even more sure that he must let the dynasty burn a batch of charcoal as soon as possible and then sell it to the people in the dynasty.

To ensure that this icy winter, there will be no mass deaths.

Putting the scroll away, Qin Lang stored it in the "Space Ring", and secretly said in his heart: "I hope that this winter, there will be no large-scale deaths." ”

According to historical records, in the second year of Yuande, due to the cold winter, tens of millions of people died in the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty, of which babies and children accounted for most of them.

Especially the people of the dynasty near the north, it was almost bitter, and they were doing white things almost all the time......

Time flies, and the next day arrives in a blink of an eye.

As soon as the morning dawned, Qin Lang, who had finished cleaning up, took Chen Gui and left the East Palace in the ancient carriage of the water antelope horse and went to the imperial study.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the imperial study, Qin Lang saw Qin Chen standing outside the door, and the other party seemed to have come to see the emperor.

When the two looked at each other, countless sparks appeared in the air in their eyes, as if countless swords were colliding!

Wang Wei, who had just walked out of the study, was about to take Qin Chen in when he saw Qin Lang and hurriedly saluted.

Qin Lang didn't say anything, and asked the other party to go in and report it.

Wang Wei didn't talk too much nonsense, and went in first with Qin Chen.

After a while, he walked out again and took Qin Chen inside.

When you enter the study, you will feel warm, and you will feel comfortable.

Walking up to the emperor, Qin Lang knelt down and saluted: "Erchen see Your Majesty!" ”

"Hmm!" Qin Tianlong nodded, and then asked Wang Wei to bring a cushion.

Qin Lang was not polite, he stepped forward and sat down, standing side by side with Qin Chen next to him.

"You've come to me, but what's the matter?"

Neither of them was speechless, but waited for the other to answer.

Seeing that neither of them answered, Qin Tianlong said, "Eighteen, since you came first, then you should answer first." ”

"No!" With a fist in response, Qin Chen said: "Father, the son is here today to offer advice." ”

"Advice? What do you offer? Qin Tianlong was a little curious.

Qin Lang was also a little curious.

Qin Chen said: "Erchen has a master of heavenly tricks by his side, according to his night observation of the sky, from December this year to February next year, my Great Qin Dynasty will usher in a cold winter, Erchen has a plan, which can make my Great Qin Dynasty reduce the casualties of the people." ”

Based on his experience in his previous life, he clearly knew that the winter from this year to next year would be a very cold winter, far colder than the second year of Yuande recorded in the history books.

This cold winter caused more than 30 million people to die in the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty, most of whom were children.

Not only did this cold winter cause the majority of deaths in the Great Qin Dynasty, but the other six dynasties did not have a large-scale death of civilians in this cold winter.

The number of deaths of the people of each dynasty far exceeded that of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Qin Tianlong's eyes, he didn't expect Qin Chen to have such a capable person.

Qin Lang was also a little shocked in his heart.

Unexpectedly, this guy not only has a large number of advisers, but also has people who know "Heavenly Skills".

Qin Lang didn't know that Qin Chen didn't have a person who knew "Heavenly Technique", he only had the experience of a lifetime.

Qin Tianlong said: "Tell me about your solution." ”

Qin Chen said: "Send a formation mage to build a heating formation for the people." ”

Qin Tianlong said in a deep voice: "Do you know that building a heating formation requires a lot of resources? What's more, it was built for nearly three billion people in the territory of the dynasty. ”

It is simply impossible to build a heating formation for nearly three billion people, not to mention, even if the dynasty wants to build it, it does not have so many manpower, material resources and resources.

Even if it can be barely built, it is almost December now, and it is completely too late, and at most it can only be built for a small number of people.

In addition, there are not so many polycrystals in the hands of the people, and the driving heating formation is carried out.

"This son knows! However, the heating formation that Erchen suggested to build for the people was to choose a large house to build, so that it could be used by ten households, and they would jointly bear the responsibility of providing Yuan Jing for the heating formation.

If they don't have enough Yuan Crystals, the dynasty can provide them with some for free to ensure that they survive this cold winter. Qin Chen replied without changing his face.
