After the hemp paper was successfully made, it was the first to become popular among the royal palace and northern officials.

Whether it is writing official documents, posting notices or writing letters, everyone has changed to lightweight, convenient and easy-to-carry hemp paper.

At the same time, officials began to make hemp paper in large quantities.

Don't say that poor students, even the children of peasant families with good harvests, can also afford the cost of hemp paper.

Under the deliberate or unintentional delay of Xiao Budo, Zhong Xing and many officials in the north, it has been more than a month since everyone in the court saw the "hemp paper".

At this time, no one in the court, including the emperor, thought that the hemp paper that shocked them had been used as a toilet in the Beidi Palace.

In the entire official system of the Northland, everyone used paper that was more sophisticated, soft, and easy to write and preserve after repeated trials and tests by the Mohists.

Approaching the end of the year, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is snowing heavily in the north, Princess Jinyang and Xiao Budo have taken precautions before the snow falls, and went out to inspect the measures to deal with the cold winter in various places, while Jin Yan and Xiao Jinan stayed at home and were taken care of by Xiao Quji, who was unwell and not suitable to go out.

But Xiao Jinan is a disobedient person.

Usually he's enough to go crazy.

As soon as the snow fell, he was more like a happy puppy, and when he got up early in the morning, he rolled into the snow, and no one persuaded him to come out.

Jin Yan also loves snow, but she is not in good health and afraid of the cold, so she always sits in the house and is watched by the maid, or lets Xiao Quji hold her and sit under the eaves to watch the snow.

She can't do something like Xiao Jin'an rolling in the snow, and no one else in the house will allow her to do it.

Five days later, Princess Jinyang dragged her sick body back to the palace.

She contracted a cold on the second day of her outing, and she has been taking medicine for the past few days, but it has not improved, but it has become more and more serious, so she can only come back first.

It's only been five days, and her face is so cold that it is chapped, not to mention her hands and feet, her fingers and toes are red and swollen from the cold, and some places are rotten.

The dignified princess, with warm clothes and fox fur on her body, deer boots on her feet, warm anger in her hands, and waiters to shelter from the wind and rain when traveling, she is still frozen like this.

What ordinary people will be like, one can imagine.

Even if she was sick, even if her hands and feet were frozen, the first thing Princess Jinyang did after returning to the palace was not to recuperate, but to summon the officials in the north and let them open warehouses to release grain, distribute quilts, and help the people.

The end of the year is approaching, and these people cannot be allowed to fall before the new year comes.

After the officials left, Jin Yan and Xiao Jinan immediately threw themselves into the arms of Princess Jinyang, Jin Yan rubbed Princess Jinyang's face, comforted her and said, "Mother, you can rest, these things can be done by me and my second brother." ”

Xiao Jinan was not to be outdone, and immediately said: "An, An can also do it!" ”

Princess Jinyang looked at them with satisfaction and touched the heads of the two children, "Mother knows, you want to share your worries for Mother, but you are still too young......"

"We're not small!"

Xiao Jinan snorted twice, "My sister can make paper, as well as printing, I can easily kill rabbits!" ”

Jin Yan looked at the sky speechlessly.

Kill a rabbit, as if he could kill a tiger with one punch!

Princess Jinyang couldn't help but laugh.

It was the first time she had smiled in a while.

"Mother, go to sleep for a while."

After coaxing Princess Jinyang to sleep, Jin Yan immediately pulled Xiao Jin'an to Shang Fang, and the Mo family apprentices and some masters who had officially taken over Shang Fang immediately came to visit them.

"It's windy today, why did Lord Weng come here?" Chen Ye looked at Jin Yan with concern and expectation.

An idea inadvertently revealed by the little owner can improve people's livelihood, promote the spread of knowledge, and benefit the whole world.

This little master must not have any mistakes!

But he also hoped that Jin Yan could bring more wonderful ideas, give them an idea, and let them make more artifacts that would benefit the people.

Jin Yan naturally won't let him down.

She handed a drawing to Chen Xu, and Chen Xu's master and apprentice looked at the drawing, and was a little surprised, "What Weng mainly does, is it called a fire kang?" ”

Jin Yan: "Hmm. ”

Nowadays, cotton and coal have not yet been introduced, and there is basically no need to think about cotton quilts and cotton clothes, and most ordinary people use straw and catkins charcoal for heating.

Fortunately, in this era, the ecology is excellent, and there is no shortage of trees, and now is a good time to cut down wood, you can cut down more firewood for heating, and you can also use it to burn the kang.

Jin Yan instructed them, "There is no hurry to improve papermaking and research and printing, the top priority is to deal with this harsh winter, you and other craftsmen together, as soon as possible to make the kang kang, then there will be officials to summon the officials and craftsmen in the county pavilions to come to learn how to pan the kang, and when the kang spreads throughout the north, every household has a kang kang, and there will not be so many people freezing to death in the future."

"Don't worry, Lord Weng, we will gather people now and guarantee that we can make the kang within today!" Chen Xue said.

They have the world in mind, but they are far less thoughtful than this little master.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Those ink people who hide in the mountains and hide from others, turn a blind eye to the suffering of the people, and ignore them, are they still worthy of the word "ink people"?

Jin Yan: "You people alone are far from enough, later I will ask my mother to send the disabled soldiers who have retired from the battlefield to learn from you, you must teach them well, and they will play a key role in the subsequent dissemination work." ”

Chen Zhi Chen Ye said at the same time: "Obey orders!" ”

After a pause, looking at Jin Yan's face that was blown white by the cold wind, Chen Ye hurriedly said, "The wind is too strong, so Lord Weng should go back quickly." ”

Jin Yan nodded, and bowed heavily to many craftsmen, "The life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, please leave it to you!" ”

The rest of the people were stunned, and they all bowed back to Jin Yan, "We will definitely do our best, and we will not disgrace our lives!" ”

Jin Yan was about to go back, and Zhang An had already found him.

He was still holding a fiery red fox fur in his hand, and immediately wrapped Jin Yan's whole person and hugged him, and when he went to lead Xiao Jin'an, the other party ran away.

"Ann."

Jin Yan looked at him.

Xiao Jinan stuck out his tongue, "Sister, you go back first, I'll play here for a while, and I will also learn to make a fire kang!" ”

Zhang An was a little uneasy, but Jin Yan allowed him, "What you master craftsmen do is to save tens of thousands of people, don't do anything wrong, don't disturb them, otherwise if Indonesia delays the project, I will serve you in military law!" ”

Xiao Jinan was not only not afraid, but was a little eager to try, "You go back quickly, I promise not to make trouble, I just want to learn to make a fire kang, go back and make one for our foal, it won't be cold!" ”

After that, Xiao really followed closely behind Chen Ye, watching and learning, and asked questions from time to time.

On the other side, when Jin Yan went back, Princess Jinyang had already woken up, so she told Princess Jinyang about the fire kang.

Unlike papermaking and printing, the profit is too small, and the impact is not far-reaching enough, so it will not threaten the status of the family at all, so it will not be monopolized by the family, and naturally it is not afraid of being stolen by the court or the eyeliner of various places.

In fact, Jin Yan wished that the entire north would send people to learn how to pan kang.

Then not too many people will freeze to death.
