As soon as he heard that the lord of Zhaode had something to send over, the first thing that Emperor Zhaowu thought of was to eat.

He has been missing the tofu and fish soup very much lately.

Although tofu and soy milk have been made in the imperial dining room now, he has already tried soy milk, and it is really very good as the lord of Zhaode said.

Now he has a cup of soy milk every morning.

However, he also asked the people in the imperial dining room to try to make the tofu and fish soup, but it was made, but unfortunately the finished product was still a little worse than the one sent by the lord of Zhaode.

"Let people in."

After a while, the red sleeves came in and respectfully kowtowed to Emperor Zhaowu.

The minister doesn't need to kowtow or anything, but the red sleeves are cheap as a maidservant, and they must kneel and salute when they see the emperor.

"Excuse me, what about the things that the Lord of Zhaode asked you to give?"

"Back to the emperor, things are outside."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu was a little unhappy, and felt that the maid in front of him was very ignorant, why didn't he send things in directly?

However, thinking that this was to help Zhaode County, he was not easy to punish, lest Ning Yang say that he was an uncle and did not do anything.

"Hurry in."

"Yes."

Soon Redsleeves had the fireplace brought in.

When Emperor Zhaowu was thinking about what kind of food he would send this time, he suddenly saw such a big thing, and his mouth opened.

What the hell, so big?

"What is this?"

"Back to the emperor, this is the fireplace that the county lord made out to keep warm, now that the weather is cold, the county lord is worried that the emperor's office will be cold, so he specially asked the slave maid to send one to the emperor."

These words were taught by the eldest princess of Ningyang, after all, if you want to ask Emperor Zhaowu for iron, you naturally have to say something nice.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard her words, a smile rose on Emperor Zhaowu's face.

"Zhaode is very filial, and he doesn't forget to think about me when the weather is cold."

He was very satisfied, and naturally he didn't forget to criticize his sons and daughters, seeing that none of them were as sensible as their nieces.

"Please allow the slave to install it for you."

"Well, go ahead."

Emperor Zhaowu waved his hand, although he was satisfied with the filial piety of the lord of Zhaode, but he didn't take this fireplace much seriously, looking strange, it was actually called a stove, in his opinion, it was more like a box.

The fireplace was very easy to install and took no more than a few minutes to complete.

"Does the emperor need to try it?"

"Hmm."

Red Sleeves hurriedly beckoned people, brought out the charcoal basins under the corners of the windows around them, and then asked people to close the windows tightly.

She lit the fireplace, and after about ten minutes, the temperature of the entire imperial study slowly rose.

"Huh?"

Emperor Zhaowu, who was a little unserious at first, sensed that something was wrong with this thing, and got up and walked out from behind the imperial case.

As soon as he reached the edge of the fireplace, a wave of heat hit him, and the chill in his body was dispelled a lot.

That's a good thing.

"This fireplace doesn't have to burn charcoal?"

"Charcoal, ordinary firewood can be burned, of course, it is cheaper to burn firewood, and the emperor, you see, the smoke from the firewood will be directly discharged out of the house along this pipe, and there is almost nothing in the room."

Emperor Zhaowu saw that it was indeed so, and once again felt that this was a good thing.

Ordinary firewood can be seen everywhere in the Yu Dynasty, and it almost doesn't cost much, and those in the countryside can get a lot of it by going around the mountains casually.

It greatly reduces the cost of buying charcoal, and if you just burn firewood, you don't have to worry about charcoal poisoning, and the design of this chimney is also very good, and the smoke is directly discharged to the outside.

Cheap material, but it can bring better results than charcoal, and it is mainly safer.

It's just that it looks like it's all made of iron.

"It costs a lot of iron to make a furnace like this, right?"

"Yes, the county lord used all the iron reserved for next year's spring plowing and repairing farm tools, and two of them were released, one was given to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and the other was sent to you."

"Originally, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said to let the county lord keep it for herself, but the county lord said that the emperor worked hard for Yu Chao day and night, and he needed it more than her, and she was not in a hurry to wait for the iron to get it later."

"After all, there are still the Emperor and the Queen Mother, as well as all the mothers, who haven't sent them yet."

Hearing her words, Emperor Zhaowu was very moved in his heart.

Look, this is my good niece, filial piety, too filial piety.

She treats me like this, how can I live up to it as an elder.

"Isn't it iron? I have, how much do I need, I give it to her, how can I let her junior freeze. ”

Hearing this, the red sleeves saluted and sighed, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is really powerful, and these words are really useful to give yourself.

"It is estimated that it will take three or four thousand catties, after all, I have to send one to the nobles in the palace."

Emperor Zhaowu nodded, he did not often go to the palace concubines to spend the night, if he had this fireplace to move by himself, he would not have to worry about catching a cold.

"In this way, I will give her 6,000 catties, if it is not enough, I will ask me again, so that she will not be wronged by herself, and get one for herself first."

Red Sleeves hurriedly thanked him.

Emperor Zhaowu waved her hand to get her up, and asked Gao Fu to give her a reward, and then personally wrote a note and handed it to her.

"You take my slip to the Ministry of Industry, and ask your grandfather to directly grant you 6,000 catties of pig iron."

"Yes, the slave and maid thank the emperor for the reward of the county lord."

"Go ahead."

After kowtowing again, Redsleeves got up and exited the imperial study.

Emperor Zhaowu walked to the fireplace again, moved, and turned to Gao Fu and said; "This is a good thing, but it's a pity that it's made of iron, otherwise it will be popularized, and this winter, there will be fewer people in the world who will freeze to death."

"It's really good, His Royal Highness the county lord is really smart, and he can get along with such a good thing."

"Not only is he smart, but he is also very filial, but he is too sincere, and he has to send it to me first if he doesn't need it."

Emperor Zhaowu had a smile on his face.

Soon, the news that the lord of Zhaode sent a heating artifact fireplace to the emperor spread in the harem.

It is said that the fireplace is so powerful that if you light it, the whole room will be warm, and it is said that if you stay in it for a while, you will sweat.

This is not an exaggeration at all, at this time, there are several sweating people in the imperial study.

There's no way because the weather is too cold, so the clothes are thick, the fireplace continues to heat up, and the room is mostly sealed, how can it not be hot.

These news also spread to Fengqi Palace, in addition to the fireplace heating effect is very good, there is also the fact that the lord of Zhaode County has a lot of iron in his house, and a total of two are made.

One was given to the eldest princess, and the other was sent to the palace, and the eldest princess asked her to keep it by herself, but she didn't keep it, and said that the emperor worked hard for the country and needed it more than her.

"Oh, what a girl."

Empress Shen began to regret again, how could she have a filial child who could have become her daughter-in-law, but as a result...

At first, she thought that her son was stupid, but then she felt that someone must have bewitched her son, after all, her son used to be quite good in her impression.
