"A thousand pounds!"

The eldest princess of Ningyang took a breath of cool air in her heart.

Originally, she thought that her daughter would ask for dozens of hundreds of catties, and the Zhuangzi at home had some inventory, and she should be able to make up some of the farm tools for next year's spring plowing.

But she will ask for a thousand catties when she opens her mouth, and I am afraid that this thing will not be enough to take all the tools used for spring plowing and repairing farm tools next year.

"Yaoyao, why do you want so much iron?"

"Make a stove, it's not yet late autumn and it's so cold, if it's winter, maybe it's cold, I'll think about getting some stove."

What she wanted was a kind of removable fireplace, somewhat similar to the one used by the ancient Westerners.

It's just that it's more convenient for her, she doesn't have to make much changes to the wall, and this thing can just burn wood, so she doesn't have to worry about charcoal poisoning.

There is also a chimney itself, which can directly remove the smoke from burning wood from the house.

"I can't say this clearly, anyway, when the time comes, you will know, mother, it is definitely a good thing."

Hearing this, the eldest princess of Ningyang nodded, her daughter said so, and she didn't want to continue to ask.

"A thousand pounds is a bit too much, and there may not be so much at home."

"Can I buy that?"

Huo Junyao continued to ask.

She doesn't have much concept of the Yu Dynasty's iron now, although she knows that there won't be a lot, but her own family is also the top power of the Yu Dynasty, and there should be a way to get it.

"Well, yes, but it's still a bit of a lot."

The current iron output of the Yu Dynasty is only close to 200,000 catties a year, and in such a large country, 200,000 catties of iron is enough to see how precious this iron is.

And the imperial court's crackdown on private iron is also very strong, a thousand catties of iron is not much, but if you go outside to buy, it is very attention-grabbing, and if you don't get it right, it will cause some unnecessary trouble.

"How about my mother get you 200 catties first?"

"It's okay, let's get a few first, we need three here, one for each of my father and second brother, and one for my eldest sister, it should be barely enough."

Hearing her words, although the eldest princess of Ningyang felt that this iron was very difficult, she was still quite happy.

After all, her daughter wants iron to get things for her family.

Subsequently, she directly asked Mama Zhao to do this.

On the same day, two hundred catties of pig iron and four old blacksmiths came to the hot spring villa.

And Huo Junyao has also drawn the drawings, although she is still a little unaccustomed to drawing drawings with a brush, but she is also a person who often uses brushes, although the things drawn are not as standardized as in her previous life, but they are not too out of shape.

And she will also mark the sizes, as long as it follows the style and size, there will be no problem.

The four old blacksmiths took the drawings and looked at them, and they understood them.

It's not that hard, and you can start making it right away.

At noon the next day, four of them came out, and when they heard that the stove came out, Huo Junyao asked people to get them as soon as possible.

Then one was installed in the living room, which was very simple to install, and the pipe extended directly along the window to the outside, and people found something to paste the gap on the side of the pipe to keep it as warm as possible.

When the eldest princess of Ningyang heard the news, her stove had already been installed.

This fireplace looks more like a box standing up, square, about one meter two, empty in the middle, the inner space is a foot, surrounded by iron sheets, and the top is a pipe that leads to the outside.

"This is the stove you're talking about? I haven't seen it before. ”

"Mother try it first, and I'll go to your bedroom to install one later, so that you won't feel cold when you sleep at night."

Hearing this, the eldest princess of Ningyang smiled and nodded, her daughter is really hurting, she was indeed woken up by freezing several times last night.

Xiaochan and Red Sleeves lit the stove, using ordinary firewood, and the fire was very powerful, but there was no smoke in the house, and the smoke went outside along the pipe.

In just a moment, the temperature of the entire living room has risen a lot, which is faster than a charcoal basin, and there is no need to worry about charcoal poisoning.

In the past, when there was a charcoal basin, it was always placed close to the window, and the window should not be closed too tightly.

Although the fire is not small, because there will be a lot of gaps in the windows, and the cold air from the outside will pour in from time to time, the temperature in the room can not be raised.

It's not like Huo Junyao, not to mention the firepower, the windows can be closed tightly to prevent the cold wind from coming in, and it can also ensure that the temperature is retained.

Sensing the obvious increase in temperature, the eyes of the eldest princess of Ningyang lit up.

That's a good thing.

"Yaoyao, how did your little head grow, you can even come up with such a good thing."

While praising her daughter, the eldest princess of Ningyang was also quite proud in her heart, her daughter was really amazing, and she really deserved to be the blood of her mother.

"Does my mother like it?"

"Of course I do."

Who doesn't like such a warm thing when the weather is unusually cold?

"That Xiaochan red sleeves, you go and call Forget Xia over, you all know how to install it just now, go and install one in my mother's room, and my room."

The two answered, and first brought a stove to the bedroom of the princess of the main dean.

"It's a good thing, but it looks like scrap metal."

It's a good thing, but it's also precious.

"If only there was more iron."

Last night, she also learned from Red Sleeves and Xiaochan how precious Tie was in the Yu Dynasty, and it was not easy for her mother to get two hundred catties for herself.

"It's not like there's no way."

The eldest princess of Ningyang suddenly moved her eyes, and she had some thoughts in her heart.

They don't have a lot of iron at home, but there are a lot of people in their hands.

"Mother, do you have a way?"

"I just looked at it, and you made four, right? There are three of us here, and there is one more, I think you can send one to the palace. ”

At this point, Huo Junyao still didn't know what her mother's plan was.

That's right, if you don't have iron at home, doesn't the emperor have it?

It shouldn't be difficult to get three or five thousand catties from him.

"Cheng, I'll let Red Sleeves go with me later, and then ask the emperor's uncle how about asking for two thousand catties of iron?"

"What two thousand catties, at least five thousand catties."

"The Emperor doesn't want to send one over there? The queen mother can't send one there? And your uncle has other concubines besides the queen's mother, don't they all have to give one? ”

Huo Junyao opened her mouth, thinking about it, it is indeed true, anyway, I will not suffer if I want more.

"Listen to my mother."

Soon the three fireplaces on her side were installed, and Red Sleeves took the last one into the carriage, took the waist card of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and went to the capital.

......

In the imperial study, Emperor Zhaowu was having a headache, and the weather this year was really abnormal.

It's snowing before winter yet, so it's uncertain what will happen in the future, so disaster prevention must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Just as he was thinking, a small chamberlain came in from outside.

"Your Majesty, the maidservant girl beside the Lord of Zhaode came with the waist card of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, saying that there is something to give you."
