Chapter 416
Liu's birthday??
Before dawn, the whole mansion began to get busy. Song Ziling asked the academy for one day off today and did not have to go to the academy.
After Song Heng got up, he put on his court uniform and went to the imperial study room directly. After going down the court, he went to the imperial study room again.
After the imperial case, Xuanyuan Yu frowned and reviewed the memorial.
"The Emperor Zhenbei General asked for a visit." The father-in-law who was guarding the door bowed to report.
Xuanyuan Yu raised his head and said, "Let him come in!"
"I will meet the emperor." After Song Heng entered Ru's study, he bowed and bowed.
"Get up!" Xuanyuan Yu raised his head and looked at Song Heng and said, "Your mother's birthday today. Why don't you come back to the palace early? What should you do if you come to the imperial study?" Song Heng has been the general of this town and the general of this town and the general of this town and the first time this town and the general's mansion has held such a birthday party! It can be seen that Lin is a capable and capable person.
Song Heng said: "I have something to offer to the emperor."
"What?" Xuanyuan Yu was a little curious.
Song Heng took out the kang drawings drawn by the craftsman from his arms, held them with both hands, walked to the imperial desk, bent down and raised his hand over his head.
Xuanyuan Yu took it, opened the drawing, frowned, what was the drawing? A big stove connected to a large brick pavement?
"This is..." Xuanyuan Yu looked at Song Heng with the drawings.
Song Heng explained: "This is a kang. There is a flue in the middle of the kang, which is connected to the big stove. When the big stove is burning, the heat and smoke generated can pass through the flue to make the kang hot. People will not be cold when they sleep on it, and the room will also become warmer."
"So good?" He has been reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, but this is the first time he has heard of this kang.
Song Heng nodded and said, "This kang has been sold out in the military camp, and I have tried it. With this kang, the soldiers will not feel cold when they sleep. The emperor also knows that this winter is too cold, and the winter clothes and bedding are insufficient, and many soldiers have broken their hands and feet. With this kang, it is better to stay in the barracks."
Xuanyuan Yu used to lead troops and fought in the cold areas of the north. He knew how limited the soldiers could protect against the cold, and how cold it would be to sleep on the same bunk bed on heavy snow.
This year is indeed colder than in previous years, so the court has not prepared enough clothes to protect the cold.
"If you use this kang, you'll probably need a lot of money!" After all, you have to use bricks. As the emperor, he has to take good care of many things.
Song Heng said: "No, the pavilions in this camp are made of bricks. Just dismantle and rebuild the bricks. This kang will not take much time to complete it."
Xuanyuan Yu put down the drawings in his hand, nodded and said, "If this is the case, all the barracks in the military camps can be put on this kang. If this kang is promoted to the public, it can also benefit the people. Where did you get the drawings of this kang?"
Song Heng said: "It was the Neizi who heard from me that the soldiers in the camp were frozen and had frostbite in their hands and feet. He mentioned to me the kang that I had seen in my travel notes. He roughly mentioned the structure of the kang. I asked the craftsmen to think about it repeatedly, and finally figured it out, and then I had this drawing."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yu nodded and said, "Lin is not bad, he can still care about the soldiers in the army."
Because Xuanyuan Yu was a little prejudiced to Chen Wan, he heard Song Heng say that he was talking about Lin Qingxue in advance.
Song Heng frowned and said, "It's not Lin, but Chen's first wife, Shen."
"Shen?" Xuanyuan Yu was hit. Then Shen was an ignorant village woman who was unreasonable. She could read travel notes and think about the soldiers in the army?
Song Heng nodded.
"Isn't she illiterate?" He clearly remembered that Song Heng had told him before that Shen was illiterate.
"She learned it and now she can read it." Song Heng said: "The emperor's inner son said this fire kang, which is beneficial to the soldiers and the people, and it is also considered a merit!"
Xuanyuan Yu naturally heard what he meant. Song Heng used to make contributions by himself, never seeking credit or asking for rewards. Now, for the sake of Shen, he has been asking for rewards for her and asking for rewards.
"Tell me! What do you want?" Speaking of which, Shen did make contributions and still needs to be rewarded, although he looked down on the jealous woman.
Song Heng smiled and said, "Your Majesty will be done if you give me an imperial edict."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yu shook his head and couldn't understand it. He looked at Song Heng and said, "You have done a good job with your first wife. I don't understand. Why can you do this for her so ignorant of the truth? She slapped you and me in the face?"
He asked for an imperial edict, and wanted to raise the identity of Shen. Although Shen was Song Heng’s first wife, how could he compare to Lin Qingxue, the daughter whom he personally gave marriage to?
Song Heng was silent for a moment and said, "She is my wife no matter what."
"Don't forget that Lin is also your wife, or the daughter of your savior." Xuanyuan Yu reminded. Shen is his wife, but Lin is so, he can't favor one or the other.
Song Heng lowered his head and frowned and said, "I... I will never forget it."
Xuanyuan Yu glanced at him and said aloud: "Come here, I'll draw an order."
