Chapter 124 Mr. Xi, what a wonderful idea!
"This year's weather is indeed a bit colder than in previous years."
"These charcoals are a bit unburnt!"
Within Xuchang Yamen.
Cao Cao stretched out his hand to light the charcoal fire, looked at the heavy snow falling outside the hall, and couldn't help but say something.
Xun Yu on the side seemed to think of something when he heard this.
"Lord, as Fengyi said before, stone nirvana can be burned for heating purposes. However, this thing seems to be very widespread in the area where Hebei merged with the two states."
"Shi Nie? Jizhou!"
Cao Cao was stunned when he heard the sound, and then raised his brows.
"That's what Feng Yi said, and it's absolutely correct!"
Xi Zhicai was wearing a thin shirt, and he seemed to be a little warm, even the robe on his chest was slightly open.
Not long after.
"It's really as warm as spring in March!"
"If you don't mind Fengyi, I will have the official documents moved to your house tomorrow!"
The Han Palace in Xuchang has not been completed yet. According to the original plan, it was almost to be built according to the scale of the Luoyang Old Palace.
I was originally worried about the high price of charcoal in the cold winter, but now it is almost solved because of the stone nirvana.
"I finally understand why Fengyi hasn't gone to the government office these days."
The stone nirvana obtained from Jizhou is indeed good. After being processed as Xi Yu said, the temperature is much higher than that of charcoal.
"Why, my dignified Sikong is so confused that I can't come up with some money!"
After hearing Cao Cao's intention, Xun Yu did not refuse.
This oncoming warm wind makes people's brows stretch out uncontrollably.
After Cao Cao and Cao Cao entered through the main gate of the opera house, they passed through the corridor and looked up to see the main door of the opera house open.
A few days later, a large amount of black stone was transported from Jizhou to Xuchang.
"Wen Ruo, am I right?"
"Who, Dian Wei, go outside and tell Xu Chu that I am staying at the theater house to eat today, and ask Xuchang to help bring more things over!"
Yang Biao suppressed his anger. Next to him, Dong Cheng had already given instructions to the officials beside him. Not long after, someone brought over a set of eating utensils.
In the main hall of the opera house, after greeting Liu Xie, Xi Yu felt a little helpless.
They stopped playing mahjong in their hands and looked outside the hall.
For this reason, he took the time to have Jiang Zuo supervise the production of a set of floor heating equipment.
Although the coal currently mined directly can be burned directly.
In the past, there were so many tables placed on the table. Xi Yu gave up the chief position to Liu Xie, and there were hundreds of civil and military officials on both sides.
"Actually, more importantly, it will take some time. It won't take long for the supervisor to complete this set now."
"Ayu, can this thing really warm up the whole room?"
"I will send a letter to Yuan Benchu ​​immediately!"
As soon as Cao Cao spoke these words, Yang Biao's face turned a little dark.
The wind blowing from Changting was still a bit cold, and it made Cao Cao feel numb.
Liu Xie is staying, and Yang Biao and others are naturally unwilling to leave like this. Who knows what will happen after they leave!
"Hmph, is this how the dignified farmer treats his visitors?"
Liu Xie immediately took Queen Fushou and his attendants and went straight to the theater.
In the next few days, Xi Yu remained in prison.
With the arrival of Liu Xie, the number of courtiers and generals from the entire drama family soon increased.
It snowed heavily in Xuchang and the weather became increasingly cold. After Xiyu said that Shi Nie could be burned for warmth, Cao Cao immediately wrote to Yuan Shao, intending to exchange Shi Nie.
The warm air in the room instantly dissipated the chill on my body.
Liu Xie wasn't angry because of this, he was just a little confused. What's more, he was still trying to win over Xi Yu!
When he heard that he was going to be a prisoner, he had already begun to build this floor heating.
"this……"
Logically speaking, if the host does not entertain guests, there is no reason for the guests to stay.
Xi Yu, Cao Cao and others were sitting on one side, while Taiwei Yang Biao and the other officials named by Dong Cheng were sitting on the other side.
These craftsmen themselves regarded the Mohist family as their ancestors, although Xi Yu never admitted it.
However, who made the other party the current emperor? Although he felt a little unhappy, he could not refuse.
Things like running water and flush toilets have long been handy under Xi Yu's guidance.
After arriving at the prison, I discovered that Xi Yu was not here this time.
I never thought that what Fengyi said about floor heating was actually true.
"If the two brothers are interested, I'm afraid they have to contact the general as the prisoner. It will take a while!"
But at this moment, he was covered in fur clothes and a big cloak, and his whole body wanted to be wrapped tightly.
Now, the entire general and supervisor are about to move home.
"It's just that I don't have many chopsticks at home. I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain the Taiwei and others!"
Cao Cao was a little curious.
However, the situation today is different.
At this moment, Cao Cao and Xun Yu entered the theater's main hall without hesitation.
It was so warm in this room that even he didn't want to go to the government office to report.
Before Dian Wei finished speaking, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing.
"Fengyi, Wen Ruo and the others can just handle it ourselves, you don't have to worry about it!"
The entire ground in the theater hall has been excavated, and strange-shaped iron pipes were buried in the ground following Xi Yu's command.
As Liu Xie opened his mouth, Dong Cheng didn't say much.
"I heard that Sikong has helped His Majesty select the palace guards some time ago. Is this true?"
Inside the theater at this time.
"I heard that Fengyi has been staying in Jiang Zuo Prison recently?
Didn't he already teach those who will be great craftsmen how to make this stone?"
Liu Xie meant that he didn't care about Yang Biao and others.
"Hey, wait, isn't it difficult to come here uninvited?"
He couldn't figure it out if he asked him to think about the plow and waterwheel. Naturally, he couldn't figure out the floor heating at the moment either.
Hearing Cao Cao's question, Xun Yu subconsciously smiled and responded.
After saying this, Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and others beside him, and then his eyes fell on Xi Yu.
Immediately after, someone from the opposite side shouted again.
Before Xi Yu could speak, Cao Cao on the other side could not help but sneered.
Inside the Xuchang Yamen Office, seeing that Xi Yu was not present, Cao Cao took the initiative to ask Xun Yu who was standing next to him.
What's more, this thing was tinkered by Fengyi himself. Whether it is given to the emperor or not is a matter for Fengyi. What does it have to do with you, Dong Cheng?
As Dong Cheng opened his mouth, some of the officials nearby also echoed his words.
Who doesn't want that?
Cao Cao felt that Xi Yu was a bit unkind, but Dian Wei, who was standing next to Xi Yu before he could say anything, couldn't help but explain.
On the square table, the sound of mahjong clashing can be heard endlessly.
Xi Yu nodded towards Cao Cao.
It didn't take long for the entire theater to look brand new.
Because Liu Xie was present, it happened to be almost noon, which was the time to eat.
But if this thing is burned directly, it would still be somewhat wasteful in today's era.
Ma San responded and Xi Yu nodded in agreement, and all the master generals and supervisors hurriedly started working again.
If you really don't need to light a fire, you must get one for your house.
"Fengyi, how much does this kind of floor heating cost? Tell me the number!"
The main door of the main hall was open, and a gentle breeze seemed to be blowing.
He understood the situation in front of him in just a moment.
After asking the guards on duty, Cao Cao and Cao Cao found out that Xi Yu had led a group of generals and supervisors to his home early the day before yesterday.
Since the cold winter came, Xi Zhicai discovered that his younger brother spent a lot of time at home researching weird things.
Such a cold winter was a bit difficult for Gan Mei, Cai Yan, Xi Zhicai and others.
These words were a bit harsh, and even Yang Biao almost couldn't sit still. If Dong Cheng hadn't pulled him by the side, Yang Biao would have been able to walk away at this moment.
At this moment, Yang Biao looked at Cao Cao, opened his mouth but couldn't help but make a sound.
Cao Cao, who was sitting next to him, was also very happy.
Naturally, the ministers from Cao Ying also came.
Yang Biao snorted coldly.
Is it hard to believe that the interior of that house really feels like warm spring in March?
The two of them were a little dazed, and the sound of four people playing mahjong could be heard from inside the hall.
Even though there was a fire in the Han Palace, it was still obviously a bit chilly in the cold winter.
The floor heating was something he temporarily asked his general to supervise.
"My lord, I heard from those general supervisors that this floor heating equipment cost my husband a lot of money!"
"What lieutenant? Is it difficult to even afford food?"
When Cao Cao and Xun Yu arrived at the theater, the master craftsmen who were in charge had already left.
You, Dong Cheng, are envious of yourself, but now you are using His Majesty's affairs to make excuses. It is really disgusting.
If Liu Xie refused to leave, naturally the courtiers had no intention of leaving.
This kind of floor heating is only available to dramatists nowadays.
Dong Cheng opened his mouth to ask for guilt. After these words came out, Xi Yu's brows couldn't help but jump.
At this moment, inside the main hall.
Liu Xie was quite emotional. After feeling that the theater's main hall was warmer than the fire rising in the Han Palace, he couldn't help but open his mouth to praise.
"Today, I say I won't be able to taste the delicacies at your house. I hope you don't mind!"
Hearing that it was just a waste of money, Cao Cao didn't pay much attention at all.
"The Lieutenant is wrong. I didn't hear that Da Sinong invited the Lieutenant to be a guest!"
He is naturally very clear about Xi Yu's abilities.
In response, Cao Cao offered paper, grain and other items in exchange, and Yuan Shao happily agreed.
According to Xi Yu's physique, he is not afraid of cold or heat at all.
The refined Shi Nie has now been sold in various places in Yanzhou starting from Xuchang.
Xi Yu had a lot of research on the work of ink workers. This was already very clear to Xun Yu from the original Quyuan plow and waterwheel incident.
Xun Yu was also a little stunned.
After Cao Cao and others appeared outside the main hall, the four people in the hall naturally noticed it.
In front of Liu Xie, Xi Yu was not polite.
But these craftsmen have long regarded Xi Yu as a direct descendant of the Moh family.
Upon entering the eye, Dian Wei's broad muscles immediately caught his eye.
However, since I can’t figure it out, luckily I might as well just go and take a look.
Although Xun Yu doesn't care much about certain things, floor heating is a facility that can keep the home warm in winter.
Zhao Yun was also wearing a thin shirt, while Dian Wei opposite him had his arms open.
Liu Xie blatantly wanted to stay and enjoy the meal, but it was hard for Xi Yu to drive him away.
Cao Cao was a little stunned. He was only a few steps away. Not far away, Xi Yu and others were dressed as if they were in midsummer.
In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, it was still a bit cold after all, just relying on the fire to keep warm.
"Brother, it's not about money. It's just that the iron pipes needed for floor heating need to be specially manufactured, so it costs a lot of money."
Hasn’t Shi Nie’s matter been resolved?
Why are you still serving as a prisoner?
"I heard from Fengyi that he wanted to do some floor heating in the house, once and for all, so that he doesn't have to have a fire in the future!"
"Coming!"
After hearing this explanation, Cao Cao didn't care too much.
Now that the New Year is approaching, there is not much going on in Xuchang.
If you only need to spend a little money to get a set of such things, it wouldn't be a bad idea.
Learn about the floor heating in your home that can make the cold winter feel like a warm day.
The two wives of the family took the initiative to take on the responsibility of entertaining the Queen Fushou.
After all, Liu Xie himself doesn't care. If he is fussing over everything, that's not the same thing.
As soon as Cao Cao said this, the only ones left were Yang Biao and others.
The two of them left the government office together and walked towards the general supervisor in Xuchang.
"Wen Ruo, there's nothing important this time. Why don't we go to the prison to see what Fengyi is doing?"
Even ordinary people can hoard some stone nirvana at home.
"I heard that this floor heating thing was researched by Xi Qing. Xi Qing's idea is really eye-opening!"
Xi Zhi next to him was a little stunned.
Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, but he did not expect Xi Yu to say such a thing, and Cao Cao was not surprised at all.
When Cao Cao came up, he also took off his big cloak.
Even though charcoal has now been replaced by charcoal, the fire cannot be placed next to the bed!
Xun Yu's expression next to him didn't change much. The Xun family still had plenty of money.
This statement was highly recognized by the generals and eunuchs nearby.
In his opinion, Xi Yu had just gotten married, so it was normal not to come to the government office to attend. After all, he still had two wives at home!
However, since he did not come to attend and was not at home, but stayed in the general's prison, Cao Cao was a little confused.
The main hall was about to become like a court meeting in the Han Palace because of Liu Xie.
Xi Yu curled his lips and glanced at everyone.
Hearing this, before Xi Yu could respond, Dong Cheng opened his mouth and started to get angry.
After learning that Cao Cao had obtained a large amount of coal from Yuan Shao, Xi Yu rushed to Jiang's workshop as soon as possible.
At this moment, in the main hall of the opera house, a square table of medium or small size was placed in front of Xi Yu.
Cao Cao was a little curious.
Fortunately, after moving to Xu County, with his and Xi Zhicai's status, the entire theater's area was not too small.
After Ma San, who had been promoted to the position of Chief Supervisor, buried the pipeline, he couldn't help but open his mouth and praise it.
However, the news that the actor's cold winter was like a warm day finally spread, and even Liu Xie in the Han Palace knew about it.
By then there will naturally be some in the Han Palace.
Nowadays, the entire Xuchang market, including the Han Palace, has basically begun to use stone nebulizer instead of charcoal for burning.
"Sir, it's done. We've also prepared the tap water you mentioned. Do you want to help you install it in your house?"
Nowadays, there are only the Xuanshi Hall where Liu Xie lives, the Chengguang Hall where the court is held, and several palaces in the harem.
"It seems that Da Si Nong has not taken His Majesty seriously. Why don't you dedicate such a unique gift to Your Majesty? How dare you enjoy it alone?"
Cao Cao opened his mouth and sighed. He didn't expect that in just a few days, Xi Yu would come up with something like this. It was really surprising!
"Oh, tell me!"
At present, the general supervisor has only made one set, and of course there is no other one.
After Cao Cao said these words, Xun Yu next to him also felt a little moved.
Just laying the iron pipes on the ground will take a lot of time.
"It's okay if Your Majesty wants to stay. It's just a matter of adding one or two pairs of chopsticks to the family!"
For Emperor Liu Xie to come in person, Xi Yu was somewhat surprised.
"I do know what Fengyi is doing!"
Um?
Floor heating?
Zhao Yun immediately stood up to salute, and Xi Zhicai next to him also grinned and said hello.
The chief Liu Xie heard this and waved his hand: "What are you talking about, General Dong? This thing belongs to Qing Xi and has nothing to do with me!"
"When I first came to Xuchang, I heard in Yanzhou that Xi Qing was good at cooking delicious food. I heard that Xi Qing was the one who spread the news about braised pork."
However, he is him and everyone else is everyone else.
"Sir, you really have a fantastic idea!"
Opposite Xi Yu is also wearing a white shirt.
When Cao Cao took Xun Yu to the entrance of the main hall, he clearly felt a warm wind sweeping out of the main hall.
Cao Cao and others followed suit and planned to stay, as did Yang Biao and others.
Taking advantage of the time to install floor heating, Xi Yu casually asked Ma San beside him.
That guy Yuan Benchu ​​occupies a good place!
When Liu Xie heard what Cao Cao said, he also looked at Yang Biao and others: "Lieutenant, what Xi Qing said is not unreasonable. Sikong can solve it by himself. You can solve it by yourself later!"
Fengyi is studying this. How is it possible that in such a cold winter, the home can be heated without a fire?
It's your job to take advantage of others, but I don't care about these people, just figure it out!
After saying this, Xi Yu immediately spoke.
Cao Cao had something to say, and Xi Yu felt helpless when he heard this.
"Ma San, I asked you to help me make the flush toilet before, have you finished it?"
The two brothers sat opposite each other, with Zhao Yun and Dian Wei sitting cross-legged on the left and right sides respectively.
"Fengyi, there is such a good thing, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Xun Yu took off his cloak and sat down in the main hall without any explanation.
Xun Yu couldn't help but speak.
Yang Biao's words have a certain meaning.
The selection of the Han Palace guards should have been the responsibility of the guards.
At this moment, Yang Biao's words clearly meant that he was accusing Cao Cao of being a Sikong, acting on behalf of others, and not paying attention to the emperor.
Even if the Qianwei Lieutenant died while escorting the Emperor, it stands to reason that it would not be Cao Cao's turn to intervene now.
He was a great lieutenant of the Han Dynasty, and now he was the first among the Three Dukes. Cao Cao, who was also a Three Dukes, was not higher than him in terms of status.
