The matter of the Taixue construction site was put aside by them for the time being.

I just saw the hope of breaking the monopoly of knowledge and the limitation of the family's power, and immediately ushered in the trouble of grain and grass and cold disasters.

The decline of the Han family is not accidental.

Chen Zhou followed Cao Cao back to Sikong Mansion, and not long after, Cao Ang returned with Cao Tai and Cao Fu.

Those stoves, honeycomb coal, etc., also brought some back, and they heard that Cao Cao wanted to try a new way of heating, so they hurriedly arranged for someone to do it.

After a while, the coal in the stove was ignited, and the smoke was not as big as expected, as long as the ventilation was done well, it was no trouble to burn this thing for heating.

The meeting hall of Sikong Mansion is relatively large.

The warmth brought by a stove is not feasible to cover the entire hall, but it is perfectly fine to cover the room of an ordinary family.

They approached the stove and felt a burst of warmth come over them.

Comfort.

"It's a good thing!"

Guo Jia first praised: "I look at this stove, the smoke passes through the pipe, leads to the outside, and above the stove, in addition to heating, it can also boil water, stew, etc., right?" ”

Cao Fu explained: "Mr. Fengxiao is right, this stove can be used for two purposes, heating and boiling water, or stewing. In addition, smoke can be vented through the window to the outside, which is very safe. ”

Acts such as suicide by burning charcoal already existed in this era.

They know that burning charcoal, if not properly ventilated, or if something else is done wrong, can suffocate people in the house.

Nowadays, this stove is a good solution to such a hidden danger.

After listening to Cao Fu's description, their eyes lit up at the same time, and they felt that this was a good thing.

Cao Cao studied for a while and said: "Ordinary people, with ordinary family backgrounds, can save a lot of expenses if they can use the stove to stew vegetables while heating up." ”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone else agreed.

Chen Zhou asked Cao Ang to make the stove, the main thing is to save trouble, and what they want is to open source and reduce expenditure.

"Lord, I think it's more than that!"

Xun You, who had been staring at the stove, raised his head at this time and said, "I look at the honeycomb coal in the stove...... Watayuki is called that, right? ”

Chen Zhou nodded and said, "That's right!" ”

Xun You was affirmed and continued: "This honeycomb coal has been burned for a while, and when it is replaced with ordinary carbon, a lot of it has turned into ashes, and then looking at this honeycomb coal, it seems that it has only burned a little. ”

In their homes, they burn charcoal for heating in winter, and they still know a lot about charcoal fires, and then compare the honeycomb coal in front of them, which seems to be completely different from charcoal fires.

More durable.

"Seems like so."

Guo Jia observed for a while and said excitedly: "Lord, this thing made by Watari is an artifact!" ”

This is an artifact that protects against the cold in winter.

If these things can be used, they can save a lot of people, they can also accept a lot of displaced people, survive this winter, and in the spring of the next year, the population of Yingchuan will increase greatly, there will be enough troops to recruit soldiers, and there will be enough labor to reclaim wasteland.

"It's not an artifact either."

Chen Zhou said in a low-key and somewhat modest manner: "It just happens to be usable." ”

Cao Cao's blazing eyes shifted from the stove and honeycomb coal to Chen Zhou, and he exclaimed: "Duzhi is low-key again, honeycomb coal and stove are well-deserved artifacts." The people of the Han Dynasty can survive in the cold winter, all by crossing, and our future depends on crossing. ”

Saying that, he also gave Chen Zhou a salute.

As a person in power, Cao Cao was well aware of the role of stoves and honeycomb coal.

As long as it is used where it should be used, it can do a lot of things for him, and it can add a lot of help to development, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an artifact.

Chen Zhou turned sideways slightly, not daring to accept such a big gift from Cao Cao.

"Wen Cheng, Wen Tai!"

Cao Cao said again: "You will immediately produce these stoves and honeycomb coal in large quantities, and I will distribute them to all the people and displaced people below for free, do you still have money?" ”

Cao Tai nodded and said, "Money is rich, if not, Captain Touching Jin can help us dig it out, it's just ...... Not enough people! ”

It's also embarrassing to have money but no one.

Cao Fu echoed: "The existing workers in our factory can't meet the needs of producing stoves and honeycomb coal for all the people, and if it's freezing today, the speed will not be fast. ”

The factories on their side have always been petty fights, except for forging weapons that need to meet the needs of Cao Jun's army, there are more people, and there are not many people in other areas.

Their production capacity can only be supplied to their inner circle, and they have not thought of supplying so many people for the time being.

If you want to expand the scope of supply, you have to increase the production capacity, and now, the year is approaching, and it is not easy to recruit people.

"Lord, it's easy to want people."

Xun You said: "Just now, Du Zhi also said, in lieu of work, Gongzi goes to pick people among the homeless, let them work, give them a bite to eat, a place to live warmly, who will refuse?" ”

Cao Cao agreed: "That's right! There are many places where this method can be applied, Zi Xuan, you look at the arrangement, lift the amount of these things as soon as possible, you can save more people, and try to save as many lives as possible! ”

"Yes!"

Cao Ang understood what to do next.

The cash-for-work method is also being carried out on the construction site of the reconstruction of Taixue.

On the first day of work today, the workers used have not changed, but Xiahou Yuan has just received an order to go to the camp for displaced people and select young and strong displaced people who can endure hardships to come back to work.

The idea of the homeless people is indeed very simple, as long as you have a bite to eat, you can survive, and they are willing to do whatever they want for you.

In troubled times, the lives of refugees who have left their homeland are so low.

"Watari, sit!"

Cao Cao asked people to move the seat to the side of the stove, and continued: "Gongda and Fengxiao also sit together, what is the voice of those scribes of the family who oppose us recently?"

Xun You first said: "It has calmed down a lot, maybe it is because I saw the lord's order to seek merit, rebuild Taixue and agree with them to give office, I have nothing to say for a while, and I regret it." ”

Chen Zhou shook his head and said: "It is impossible for them to regret it, the reason why they have nothing to say, I guess is that they have not yet found the second point to attack us, and they have not unified their words." ”

Guo Jia agreed: "I agree with Watari's statement, we have moved the interests of many people, they will not sit idly by, the current calm, maybe just a few days, in a few days, we can still see them continue to launch speech attacks." ”

Chen Zhou said again: "These are all trivial matters, the lord's order to seek merit, and the capable Hanmen and Li Shu began to fill the vacancies in the family." When the reconstruction of our Taixue is completed, their opposition may be truly subsided. ”

These are indeed small things, presumably the war of speech between monopoly and anti-monopoly, as well as the war of knowledge.

Whoever has the more knowledge base will be in the driver's seat.

When the reconstruction of Taixue is completed, the family will find that its intellectual advantage is gone, and they will unconsciously shut up.

When Cao Cao and Xun You heard this, they also agreed with their judgment, and put this matter aside for the time being, and now they still have to solve the problems of displaced people, severe cold, and food.
