It was a different kind of stove than a normal stove.

The stove has two levels, and there is no blower, but the strange thing is that all the fireworks are pumped in, and there is no sign of it popping out.

And what was burning was not the usual firewood, but pieces of black cake-like things, which burned red in the stove, glowing with a red and blue flame.

"What is this—"

The First Emperor couldn't help but lean up, squatted in front of the stove, took the tongs on the side, and pulled it.

Teng –

Because of his movements, the sparks flew in the stove, and the flames suddenly rose by three points because of the sudden influx of air, and the sudden rising fire startled the First Emperor, and he subconsciously tilted his head back.

provoked Zhao Ying on the side, laughing.

"Father, you're getting too close, be careful to burn your eyebrows......"

The First Emperor didn't care about his ridicule, his eyes froze, and he turned his head to look at Zhao Ying next to him.

"What the hell is burning in there......

The blazing firelight reflected the First Emperor's face red, and the beating fire was reflected in his pupils.

"Briquettes - those are made of charcoal mixed with some soil, don't look at the burning of the fire, in fact, it doesn't cost a few dollars, if you burn it like this, it won't take a dollar to burn it for a whole day, of course, you can't burn it like this, it's too hot, you can roast all my dishes to death......"

Zhao Yingle made an introduction.

I didn't notice it, and the First Emperor, who was squatting in front of the stove with his face red from the charcoal fire, had already clenched his fists excitedly.

This stinky boy can actually have a way to use charcoal!

That kind of charcoal, which is full of smoke and poison, even ordinary people are too lazy to use, can burn so well!

And according to this stinky boy, if you save on burning, wouldn't a dollar have to burn for two or even three days?

No!

Ordinary people, if they use a smaller stove to save burning, maybe a dollar can burn for three or even five days? Thinking of this, even the First Emperor couldn't help but take a deep breath, suddenly turned his head, and looked at Zhao Ying, who was completely inappropriate.

"If you are an ordinary person, how much does it cost to use a smaller stove in a month......

"Two money, two at most - the stove is small, you don't need to burn this charcoal cake - I'm mainly trying to be convenient, save trouble, ordinary people don't have a lot of money, you can burn that kind of honeycomb coal, it's more economical, and the fireworks are a little smaller......"

Before Zhao Ying finished speaking, the First Emperor kicked him in the ass angrily.

"Stinky boy, you can still write that there are poor people in Chang'an, and there should not be more for Rui, there are such good things, why didn't you take them out earlier? Do you know that with this kind of charcoal cake, I don't know how many people will get rid of the bitter cold, and even save a lot of firewood money......

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he raised his foot to give him another kick.

This stinky boy, holding the treasure is not a treasure, and throwing it in his own back garden as a child's play!

The First Emperor's feet fell on Zhao Ying, what is the difference between tickling and tickling, not to mention, where is the First Emperor willing to really kick his precious grandson?

But Zhao Ying was very cooperative, grinning exaggeratedly, covering his ass to dodge, provoking the first emperor's deliberately stiff face a little unbearable.

"Tell me, what's going on......"

The First Emperor looked at this kid's hippie smiling face, and he didn't have the virtue of being the same thing, and now he has also reacted, since this dog thing dares to let himself see this, he must have made arrangements for it.

"This—ahem...... Father, you say, is there a possibility that the people outside have already received a batch of briquettes for free trial......"

First Emperor: ......

Black:......

The two couldn't help but glance at each other and laugh.

"Stinky boy, I didn't expect you to do such a big thing behind your father's back......"

Black couldn't cry or laugh.

"Speaking of which, it's still the negligence of the old minister, I didn't even hear the slightest movement from the little boy's side......"

Hey, uncle, you're a spy leader, can you say that directly in front of me?

looked at the black who pretended to be sorry with a playful face,。

"Hei Lao, you say, is there a possibility that I didn't do this thing......

The First Emperor and the Black: ......

"No, I said Father, what kind of eyes is this in your old man, this thing is really not done by me - I am a little emperor and grandson, I am innocent, and I have to read and practice martial arts every day, learn the art of war, how can I have the manpower, material resources and energy to do this......"

Zhao Ying spread his hands with a smile.

"There is no doubt about it, all of this is done by my eighteenth uncle, and it is all the credit of the eighteenth uncle......"

The First Emperor and Hei looked at him suspiciously, and Zhao Ying didn't care about them. Anyway, I said, as for you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

"Do you know how much credit this has......"

The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Ying meaningfully.

Zhao Ying waved his hand indifferently.

"It doesn't matter how big or small the credit is, anyway, it's Uncle Eighteen's, as long as you can earn it—ahem, as long as it can solve the problem of the people burning wood for heating, right, Father-"

The First Emperor smiled and didn't speak, nor did he get to the bottom of it.

Obviously, this stinky boy has an agreement with his youngest son, and for him, no matter who the credit falls on, it is a good thing.

Even if this matter was Ying'er's idea, he must have contributed a lot to his youngest son in this matter.

Finally got some interest!

Emperor Shi felt very relieved in his heart, especially when he saw that Zhao Ying was not greedy for merit and put all the credit on Hu Hai's head, he was even more relieved in his heart.

This is the mind that the inheritor of Great Qin should have!

Good!

The First Emperor looked at the sky, and then at the greenhouse in front of him.

"I'm going to eat here today, you go and make a few side dishes for my father......"

Regarding the first emperor's request to stay for dinner, Zhao Ying naturally gladly accepted the order.

"Father, this is a good thing to say, you and Hei Lao are free to walk around here first, if it is cold, you can rest next to this stove, or go to my study to read......"

Zhao Ying said, lifted a few straw fans, and jumped in.

Picking up the sickle next to him, he cut a handful of verdant and tender leeks and pulled out two fresh shallots.

As soon as he looked up, he found that the First Emperor and Hei were watching him cut leeks with interest, and simply pushed open the corner door next to the greenhouse.

"Father, since you two haven't left, come in and help cut some wheat grass, remember not to pull off the roots of wheat grass for me - we'll steam some wild vegetables and eat them later......"

After Zhao Ying finished speaking, he walked out of the corner door with the leeks and fresh onions in his hand.

Seeing that the First Emperor and Hei were still in a daze, they couldn't help but urge.

"Why are you still stunned - do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, Father, you don't understand, it's better to make something yourself......"

"Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing?"

The First Emperor smiled and nodded.

"Okay, there is still some truth in what you kid said......

As he spoke, the First Emperor entered through the corner gate and took the sickle that hung on the wall inside. Kuroya walked in with a smile and picked up a scythe, following the example of the First Emperor.

"Just send me to the kitchen later......"

Zhao Ying greeted with a smile, and walked quickly to the kitchen with leeks and fresh onions.

Seeing this kid's unceremonious actions, the First Emperor and Hei subconsciously glanced at each other, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

In this world, it is probably the eldest grandson who is not stingy, who does not regard himself as an emperor at all, but as an ordinary elder.

"This stinky boy really dares anyone to call-"

The First Emperor rolled up his sleeves, scolded with a smile, squatted in the greenhouse with Hei, and cut the wheat grass with great interest.

Don't say it, it's pretty new-

Stir-fried meat with fungus, stewed mushrooms with chicken, stir-fried foie gras, and fried green onions with mutton.

Then, stew yourself a big pot of venison stewed radish, and you are growing your body, so you need to make up for it. Of course, radish is white radish, and although the taste of carrot stew may be better, but the Western Regions have not yet been opened, and you can't eat it if you want to.

He had just stewed the chicken stewed with mushrooms and venison and radish stew, and the First Emperor and Hei over there rolled up their sleeves, and one pinched a large handful of wheat grass, talking and laughing, and walked in from outside.

Not only were his shoes covered with mud, but the First Emperor didn't even know where to rub a mud on his face, just like an old peasant who had just returned from the field.

The distance between the retorts and the workmanship of the two people was not clear, but it was actually quite different from what ordinary people were wearing, and I thought it was the two new people in the house.

Seeing the two of them walking, talking and laughing, they couldn't help frowning.

"Hey, what about the two of you, what are you doing, don't rely on the little son's benevolence, just be lazy and slippery, I warn you, our eldest son's house doesn't raise idlers, what I said ......"

The little boy came to the back kitchen in person, he was in good spirits, busy before and after, he was directing a group of people in the back kitchen to toss outside, and when he looked back, heh-

These two old guys are grinding and grinding, and they don't look at each other.

Isn't this not giving me face to Brother Zong!

Suddenly I got a little angry-

Just as I was thinking about teaching these two blind old guys a lesson, I saw the little boy who was cooking by himself poking his head out of the kitchen.

"Father, Hei Lao, come, this ......"

Great, Father?

Is there anyone in the house who is called the Father?

He didn't react for a moment, and when he reacted, his whole leg became weak, and he fell to his knees with a pop, kowtowing to the First Emperor and Hei Lian.

The First Emperor couldn't help frowning slightly, and waved his hand casually.

"Alright, alright, something that doesn't have eyesight, let's get out of the way first......"

Zhao Ying couldn't help but laugh in his heart, poked his head out and scolded with a smile.

Seeing that the First Emperor did not object, he immediately ran as if he had been pardoned, and ran away, until he ran out of the country, and his heart was still pounding.

It was Your Majesty that I just scolded, and I managed to survive......

When he thought of this, he felt that he had no roots under his feet, and he was fluttering when he walked.

……

In the kitchen.

Zhao Ying freed his hand, poured a basin of hot water for the First Emperor and Hei Yiren, mixed the temperature with cold water, and beckoned the two of them to wash their hands briefly.

That's when he said happily.

"Only eat the food made by others, you can never eat the real taste of the meal, occasionally cook, make some side dishes, it is also a rare pleasure, come to Hei Lao, you help cut these leeks, big father - forget it, you just sit there and watch the pot stove, when there is no firewood, you add a handful of ......"

If it comes, it will be safe.

The First Emperor simply squatted in front of the stove and watched Zhao Ying and Hei busy working there, taking the time to stuff a piece of chopping wood under the stove from time to time, and at this time, he realized that the kitchen in Zhao Ying's house also seemed to be different from the kitchen he had seen before.

There were no blowers, but the fire burned very strongly.

When I was outside just now, I was busy asking about the briquettes, so I didn't care about this, but now when I was free, I suddenly found something strange.

"What's going on with this stove, obviously there is no blower, but it burns better than the one with a blower......"

"Oh, I changed it a few days ago, how about it, isn't it particularly good to burn ......"

Zhao Ying said as he adjusted the stuffing of leek eggs. In this season, eating dumplings and drinking a little wine is also a great joy in life, and the First Emperor seems to be particularly fond of this taste.

"How much does this cost?"

The First Emperor subconsciously asked, and Hei also looked at this rare stove with interest, which was higher than ordinary people's stoves, and the structure was somewhat similar to the stove outside. The stove door is divided into two layers, the fire is burning on the top and the ash is falling below?

But he couldn't understand why it looked no different from ordinary people's stoves, but the effect was so much worse, and it could burn so well without a blower......

Zhao Ying was amused.

"What's the cost of this, that is, it takes a little labor, dismantles the original stove, and re-lays it again......"

The First Emperor and the Black: ......

"Where are the craftsmen who build the stoves in your house? Let them clean up and immediately go to the Shaofu Prison to find Shi Lu to report! ”

The First Emperor glared at him angrily.

This child, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't belong to my family, this stove burns so well, how much firewood can I save for the people?

"Father, do you want to promote? Well, it just so happens that they will also build the kind of briquettes or charcoal cake stoves outside, and they will teach them later......"

Although he cooperated with Hu Hai to launch briquettes and briquettes, he also knew that coal poisoning was terrible, and there were no extra resources to build briquette stoves in this era, let alone spend a lot of money to build a special chimney for briquette stoves.

Even if it can be built, it is impossible for ordinary people to afford it. The only feasible way is to build a stove similar to a Western fireplace and build a special chimney.

In this era, the houses of ordinary people have almost no airtightness to speak of, and as long as most of the toxic smoke is smoked out by the chimney, the possibility of problems will be much reduced.

In fact, the safest way is to plant your own greenhouse, put the stove outside, and lay the kang inside. However, the disadvantages are also obvious, and there will be a lot more charcoal used.

Originally, he had already drawn the drawings, and also trained the craftsmen in his house by building a greenhouse and renovating the kitchen, and was ready to send it to Hu Hai in the next few days.

I just didn't expect the temperature to drop so quickly.

For two days in a row, the north wind swept and it snowed so quickly.

Then, before they could communicate with Hu Hai, the First Emperor and Hei discovered something strange.

Zhao Ying mourned for Hu Hai for three minutes in his heart, Uncle Eighteen, it's not that I deliberately tricked you, it's that you don't have the life of meritorious service, I just wanted to send you here, and the eldest father and his old man came in person.

He really didn't want to take this credit, Daqin's future was uncertain, and he could secretly accumulate some of his strength, in his opinion, it was much more important than these credits.

And if you really want to establish this kind of merit, how can you miss this one?

It really doesn't matter!

I don't know if it's because of his personal participation, the First Emperor felt that this meal was particularly delicious, and he actually ate a few more dumplings and a small half bowl of wheat grass for the first time.

After eating, accompanied by Zhao Ying, he walked around the back garden for a while, and then left the eldest son's mansion with Hei leisurely.

Suddenly, I felt that the pressure on my shoulders was not so great, and even my breathing felt much easier.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Hei feels that his majesty walks much more energetically than before.

……

Early this morning, Hu Hai hastily pulled two mouthfuls of breakfast, deliberately changed into the fox fur that he had recently been sacrificed, sat in the carriage, and went out happily.

Go straight to Xianyang Palace.

It's not easy, I've been preparing for so long, and I've finally waited for the opportunity to show my skills in front of Ah Weng.

Don't let the eldest brother and Zhao Ying's dog things be beautiful anymore.

But when I arrived at Xianyang Palace, I inquired, and the first emperor went out early in the morning!

Hu Hai: ......

It's okay, Lone can wait!

Ah Weng rarely goes out, so he thinks he'll be back soon, right?

So, he waited, waited, waited, waited, waited and waited, from morning to noon, his stomach was rumbling with hunger, and he didn't see the figure of his own first emperor.

There were a few times when he wanted to go back first, thinking that it was noon, and when Ah Weng came back, wouldn't it be just right to have lunch together. When eating, it is the best time for father and son to exchange feelings, and Hu Hai is clear about these.

So, he endured the hunger in his stomach and waited for another hour.

In the morning, he didn't eat well, he didn't have much food in his stomach, and his fur was not warm, but he felt hungry and cold, he shivered with cold, and everyone was about to cry.

I wondered in my heart.

Aweng, where did you go today?

He waited and waited, and he couldn't hold it anymore, and when he was about to go back to eat something first, he saw his own First Emperor and Hei walking slowly from outside.

And it seems that his own Ah Weng is full of red light, and he seems to be in a good mood, and he is suddenly happy in his heart.

Looks like you've come to the right place!

"Ong, Black Elder—"

Hu Hai rubbed the muscles on his face that were almost frozen, strangled the belt that was about to fall, and greeted him with a smile.

It's just that it's been frozen for too long, and that smile looks a little unnatural.

Seeing Hu Hai waiting outside from a distance, the First Emperor suddenly moved in his heart, but his face remained silent and nodded with a smile.

"It's too cold outside, don't freeze out, go inside-"

When Hu Hai heard this, the tears of emotion were about to fall, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support the emperor's arm.

Emperor Shi looked at his most beloved youngest son, and a trace of imperceptible guilt flashed in his eyes, but this guilt was fleeting.

The gaze became calm and clear again.

The inheritance of Daqin is more important than everything.

Hu Hai is the shield he pushed out, an explanation to all those who uphold the concept of Legalism in Daqin, and it is also a whetstone that he picked out to help his own son. Of course, it is an alternative.

If Fusu does not repent in the end, and still adheres to his Confucian ideas, that is Hu Hai.

Therefore, on the one hand, he vigorously supported Hu Hai, and even pushed Li Si, the most powerful left minister in the court, and Zhao Gao, a close minister of the CRRC Mansion beside him, to Hu Hai as a teacher, teaching him the law and swordsmanship, and teaching him the principles of governing the country, but on the other hand, he was reluctant to establish the position of the crown prince.

That's because there is still a trace of thought about Fusu, and there is still a trace of dissatisfaction with Hu Hai.

Therefore, the majestic and majestic man is as good as him, and he can't help but look ahead and look backward on this key issue, suffer from gains and losses, and can't make up his final decision.

Until, Zhao Ying suddenly broke into his sight, his performance became more and more amazing, more and more brilliant, and gradually completely covered up the light of Fusu and Hu Hai.

Only then did he suddenly realize that he seemed to have a new choice.

The hesitation in my heart gradually dissipated, and the haze that shrouded my heart all day long seemed to reveal a glimmer of heavenly light.

Hu Hai, who was supporting his own Ah Weng, did not notice the instantaneous change in his Ah Weng's emotions, and was still immersed in the touching of his Ah Weng's concern for him.

"Awn, during this time, I have found a way to use coal, and the price is extremely low. Now more than a dozen workshops have been built, and the briquettes and charcoal cakes produced are enough for the small people in Xianyang City and the surrounding areas......

Hu Hai held the hot tea in his hand and said while secretly looking at the face of his first emperor, and seeing the first emperor nodding again and again with a look of relief, his heart became more and more excited.

"It's just that during this period of time, I was busy with this, and I couldn't come to greet Ah Weng often, and I was a little worried about ......"

Seeing his youngest son, he told himself how to skillfully use the method of coal, and how he established a workshop, arranged manpower, how to run around, and a series of things such as reserve in advance, but he didn't say a word about Zhao Ying's role in this.

The First Emperor couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

The goods are not better than the goods that should be thrown away, compared with his own grandson who is not stingy, this child is a little less courageous and open-minded.

With this thought, it is inevitable that my heart will be a little crooked.

But after all, his son is the leader of this matter, and he has been busy running for this matter, and he has grown a lot better than before. As a Weng, he can't chill the child's mind.

"Well done, I'm rewarded!"

The first emperor waved his hand, and it was a lot of rewards.

The wealth accumulated by the royal family of the Six Kingdoms over the years is all attributed to the Qin Dynasty, although it is not as exaggerated as written in the Afang Palace, but there is really no shortage of treasures in the hands of the First Emperor.

When Hu Hai left, his face was full of spring breeze.

The important thing is not the reward of the first emperor, but the first emperor's actions to himself, he is really happy, his strategy is correct, he runs to the palace every day to ask for peace, and accompanies Ah Weng to eat and chat, it is better to go out and do things well, and share worries for Ah Weng!

Hu Hai, who received the encouragement of the First Emperor, didn't even feel so hungry, but felt that he had finally found the right way to please his own Ah Weng, and he was full of energy.

Even because he wanted to give Zhao Ying's dog a lot of money, he didn't feel so depressed.

That dog thing is hateful, but sometimes, it's still quite useful!

PS: Thank you for the 500 starting coins reward support of Yibuki chicken legs.
