Chapter 9 Heating

Song Guogong followed He Xi into the inner room, and suddenly felt the heat steaming. Instantly, I felt that the fur coat on my body had become an ornament, but in a moment, my forehead was already slightly sweaty.

Song Guogong also lived in the Northland for a long time.

Various heating methods have also been used a lot. It's just never been so warm. I couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?" ”

He Xi said: "It's just a few small means, this house is newly built, and a fire tunnel has been dug underneath, and there is a house around it that is dedicated to burning fires. The fire passed through the ground, warm as spring. ”

"The soldiers are half dead in front of the army, and the beauties are still singing and dancing." Chang Mao said: "He is really good. Not bad. ”

It is a person who can hear the yin and yang weirdness in Chang Mao's mouth. He Xi can naturally hear it. However, He Xi also saw Feng Sheng's brows furrowed, obviously not satisfied with Chang Mao. He Xi secretly said in his heart: "If I deal with him, won't I offend Song Guogong?" "There has been cooperation between Feng Sheng and He Xi, and the relationship is good. Moreover, Xu Da withdrew from the front line, and after Li Wenzhong died of illness, Feng Sheng's status became more prominent. Although there is Fu Youde who is not in agreement with it. But He Xi couldn't see it clearly. Fu Youde is not a figure arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang to balance Feng Sheng. The discord between them is not Zhu Yuanzhang's means.

But no matter what, only Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to kill the heroes. Then Feng Sheng's position in the next ten years will be unshakable.

He Xi had already made a lot of enemies, so why not hurt Feng Sheng's harmony for a trivial matter. So he smiled slightly and said; "Zheng Guogong taught me that I did not handle this matter properly. I have just arrived in Liaodong, and the first thing I need to do is the Northern Expedition, and when the Northern Expedition is over. This kind of warm kang will definitely spread throughout the Northeast. Every household in the Northeast will have it. I must keep Zheng Guogong's goodness firmly in mind. Don't forget. ”

He Xi's trick hid needles in the cotton, but Chang Mao didn't know what to say. Snorted twice and said; "Just remember."

Feng Sheng couldn't stand it anymore. Said; "Alright. You're tired all the way, so go down and rest. ”

Chang Mao lost face and didn't want to stay here anymore. He got up and left.

After Feng Sheng waited for Chang Mao to leave, he sighed and said; "Chang 100,000 is such a hero, a tiger father and a dog, and I don't know how I can have a face to see my in-laws after I die. But no matter what, he is my son-in-law, and if there is anything inappropriate, please bear with me. ”

In Feng Sheng's opinion, although Chang Mao's title is above He Xi, the strength between him and He Xi is not equal. Under the cultivation of Zhu Yuanzhang, He Xi has a national eunuch in the center. There is Nanyang support in the local area, and now it is in Liaodong. Coupled with the continuous flow of human resources of Guozijian, He Xi has become a faction of his own, although his strength is weak, but he is friendly with Xungui, and in the civil and official system, there is a basic plate. I am very talented, and I have already seen my first success.

But Chang Mao, don't look at it as a national prince. But often meet the old department of spring, most of them follow Lan Yu, not Chang Mao. It's just the incense love affair with Chang Mao before. It's not that the old department doesn't miss the old love. It's really Changmao.

After all, the faction leader that everyone needs is not just based on kinship. It also depends on ability. Blue Jade is arrogant or brutal. But one who can fight, who can fight. In his younger life, Mu Ying can compare with him. Everyone follows Lan Yu to have meat to eat. What does it take to follow Changmao?

Chang Mao has done a lot of things that violate laws and disciplines, and Zhu Yuanzhang has dealt with them more than once. even removed the position of the prince of the country for a time. However, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered the merits of Chang Yuchun's birth and death, and also remembered the relationship between the prince and the Chang family, so he repeatedly restored his title.

It's just Chang Mao, who hasn't absorbed any lessons.

Not only did Feng Sheng feel helpless, but in fact, Lan Yu and even the prince were also helpless.

The two are not the same. He Xi didn't want to offend Feng Sheng, and Feng Sheng didn't want to make enemies.

He Xi said; "Where is the word of the national prince. Zheng Guogong is right. Now I am the only one who has a few of these conservatories here. If the Ming Dynasty wants to gain a long-term foothold in the Northeast, this means of heating is the most important. It's sure to spread. Only every household has a warm ondol. Every person has cotton clothes when they go out, so that the Ming Dynasty can truly reclaim the black soil in the northeast. ”

He Xi was also sincere.

This Northeast stayed for a winter, no, half a winter. He Xi understood the most critical issue in the development of Northeast China, that is, to keep out the cold. In fact, the Northeast is already cold. In ancient times, the means of keeping warm were insufficient, and it was even more cold.

Remember, this is fatal, not an exaggeration. It's a very realistic description. Not to mention the northeast, even the north often freezes to death. Not to mention the Northeast.

If this problem is not solved, it will be a problem for people to survive in the Northeast. Not to mention production and life.

However, to solve this problem, even if there is a direction for future generations, He Xi will have to put a lot of effort into it. Fire road, or fire kang. There were prototypes a long time ago. But there have been many reasons why it has not been promoted on a large scale, the most important of which is that it consumes too much firewood.

Therefore, it is necessary to improve the design of the kang to save fuel as much as possible. Second, there is a lot of cheap fuel. That is, coal.

Although, Ge Tiangong and others have experience in mining operations. There are enough people to produce a lot of coal. But in He Xi's view, it is still not enough. It's just that these problems will be left for later.

Feng Sheng didn't talk deeply about this issue, he certainly knew that it was very important to keep the north cold. But that's not what he's responsible for.

Feng Sheng began to ask He Xi about his preparations in the past few months.

He Xi has no matter how big or small, one by one.

For example, several granaries were built north of Shenyang. As long as an order is given, a large amount of grain can be transported outside the customs. Outside this pass is outside the Zhenbei Pass. That is, it was sent to the border of Jilin Province. Langzhong was also prepared, and the hospital was invited to send people to train more than 1,000 people in Shenyang. It can only be used to treat trauma.

and built the Shenyang Iron Works. Nowadays, the production volume is still relatively small, but most of them are arrows and tools. Arrows are consumables. And it was the cavalry that used it the most. It's almost not enough to give as much as you want. And the tools were the widening of roads and the construction of cities. All are needed.

I also sent a lot, dressed as Tartars, to find out how the road from Liaodong to Zhaozhou was.

Wait a minute.

Anyway, He Xi has already done everything he thought of and could do. On the one hand, He Xi also took out a map, which was based on He Xi's maps in later generations, and then corrected it based on his own observation and the results of sending scouts to reconnoitre.

Feng Sheng took a look at it and was hooked.

He had never looked at such a detailed map, and in many places, although he did not know what it meant, from the whole map, he was shocked by an unprecedented feeling, and he did not know what it was.

After a while, Feng Shengcai said, "Where did this map come from?" ”

He Xi was stunned for a moment, his eyes fluttered slightly, and he said: "It's the map of Ouchi, why didn't Guogong want His Majesty to apply?" ”

Feng Sheng was stunned for a moment and said; "Ouchi has a map like this?"

He Xi said reasonably: "It's because Guogong didn't ask, Jinyiwei has also done some things over the years." ”

For a while, Feng Sheng was skeptical. When it comes to Feng Sheng's status, there is no secret for him in the entire Ming military field. He had been using the map drawn up by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. I thought it was the most accurate map. After all, when it comes to mapping, there are tasks for each place. It's huge.

Feng Sheng didn't think that the Ming Dynasty had a map that was more accurate than the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

He Xi said that it was drawn by Jinyiwei. He was a little unconvinced.

It's not that Feng Sheng doubts Jinyiwei's ability, after all, Jinyiwei is Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guard, and he was born and died with Zhu Yuanzhang back then. At least it has not yet formed the impression that later generations think that Jinyiwei is a spy agency.

Saying that Jin Yiwei has the ability to draw maps, Feng Sheng believes. But Jin Yiwei was able to draw such a detailed map, Feng Sheng felt that it was impossible.

Gaine, there were no high-tech means of mapping in this era. It's almost up to people, step by step. And the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory. Drawing an accurate map is a huge national project, and even the first detailed map of New China took more than ten years to draw.
