Chapter 9 Night Talk
Xiao Zicheng looked at the vast crowd in front of him, his eyes almost narrowed into a line.
After Wang Erniu came out, several people came to experience it in person. This time people completely believed in the saying that chimneys could isolate coal smoke.
At this moment, they came forward to ask about the construction method, but Xiao Zicheng did not hide it, so he took out a model to start the explanation:
"I believe everyone understands the construction method. Let me say one more thing: when building, you must bend the inside and straight outward, so that you can ensure that everything is foolproof."
The onlookers applauded repeatedly, their faces were filled with joy.
Following Xiao Zicheng's explanation, they found that this thing called chimney was not as complicated as they imagined.
Young Master Xiao also said that with a chimney, you can build a stove and a kang in the house. These are all magical tools for heating in winter!
The most important point is that whether it is a chimney or a kang, the materials used are very cheap, nothing more than clay and some stones.
With the coal stone that is less than 10% of the carbon price, we can foresee that this winter, they will no longer have to worry about being frozen!!
"Young Master Xiao Gao Yi!!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and then all the onlookers cheered loudly.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from behind the crowd.
"Go aside, get out of the way, and the officials handle the case, the idle people, etc. will all go away!"
Seeing that it was an official, the people who were a little dissatisfied because they were pushed down and bowed their heads to make way.
The official arrester walked to Xiao Zicheng in three or two steps, "Xiao Zicheng, do you know your guilt!"
Facing the questioning of the official, Xiao Zicheng took a sip of tea without rushing, and then said, "Why am I guilty?"
"Who in Kyoto doesn't know that the smoke is poisonous? But you encouraged the people to use coal stone to keep warm in the street. How dare you say that you are innocent of such a harmful intention?!"
When Erniu saw that he was fair and wronged, he immediately plucked up his courage and said:
"Official, you really wronged your benefactor. The method of building chimneys taught by the benefactor can indeed solve the smoke problem.
The price of charcoal is soaring now, and the price of coal stone is less than 10% of the price of charcoal. My benefactor seems to be a mess, but in fact he is saving people!!"
Erniu said the sincere feelings, and the people around him were also infected, and they all said:
"I hope the official will take a look!!!"
"What Mr. Xiao said is true! I hope the official will take a look!!"
Looking at the excited onlookers watching the people, the officials were a little confused for a while.
Over the years, they have been dealing with the evil young man in front of them. When did everyone shout and beat him?
But what is the situation now... When did this evil young man get so support from the people?
Seeing this, the leading commander's eyes flashed with a strange look, and it was not as if the people were acting fake...
hiss....
The commander took a deep breath. If this is true, then this evil young man not only has no guilt, but has made great contributions...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile and turned to look at Xiao Zicheng:
"Mr. Xiao, can your smoke... chimney really solve the smoke problem?"
Xiao Zicheng glanced at him, "Can you still have false words?" As he said that, he pointed to the wooden house behind him, "If the Duwei still doesn't believe it, you'll know."
......
At night, it is still a familiar ancestral hall.
Xiao Zicheng knelt on the cushion with a depressed look on his face and greeted the ancestor of the lieutenant a hundred and eighty times.
What the deal is called personnel?
He clearly confirmed the authenticity of the chimney's smoke isolation, but he would report it truthfully, but he still drove him out of the market.
The worst thing is that Yong Yi Bo learned about this from somewhere, and without saying anything, he asked him to kneel down in the ancestral hall.
Xiao Zicheng was ups and downs and was still a little worried. If the chimney was not promoted properly, all his previous plans would be disappointed.
Squeak...
When Xiao Zicheng heard the movement, he was shocked and thought that Wangcai had returned from recruiting workers.
Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw Xiao Fangzhi stalking to the tablet and sighed:
"I'm sorry for the ancestors..."
"Father..." Xiao Zicheng carefully tentatively: "You are..."
His question completely ignited Xiao Fangzhi's anger, and he saw his eyes erect and said angrily:
"Rebellious! I thought you had reformed yourself, but who would have thought that you would be so ineffective!
Instead of working hard in the academy, you go to the market to make trouble! Do you know that even the emperor knows about this?"
Xiao Fangzhi had no hope for this eldest son, but who would have thought that this kid made a big splash in the academy poetry meeting a few days ago.
The thought of his son becoming a dragon in his heart ignited again.
Unexpectedly, before he showed off his appearance for a few days, this rebellious son caused such a big deal again, and not only encouraged the people to use coal stone to keep warm, but the matter also reached the emperor's ears.
When Xiao Fangzhi learned the news, he almost passed away.
Xiao Zicheng didn't dare to say anything more at this time. His cheap father was obviously angry.
If there is a disagreement, a whip is indispensable...
So he avoided Xiao Fangzhi's gaze, but he was secretly thinking about it in his heart.
Although the commander drove him out of the market today, it is for the sake of this matter to be heard. If it can be taken seriously, it will definitely push the chimney wide.
Even if the chief lieutenant reported the matter to Jingzhao Prefecture, the prefect also handed the emperor a memorial.
But the emperor is busy every day, and it is still unknown whether he can see the memorial. How can he ensure that everything is foolproof?
Seeing that his son was silent, Xiao Fangzhi thought that Xiao Zicheng understood his own mistakes and was relieved a lot at the moment.
Looking at the tablets of the ancestors above, I rarely opened my heart and said melancholy:
"Son, don't blame your father for being harsh on you. The Hu people repeatedly harassed the frontier and robbed them, and they have already made a fuss about their lives."
The court was almost in trouble about this matter. Although he took some advantage this time, the Hu people were strong and good at harassing them."
"Those sour scholars are all cordyceps, yelling about peace talks all day long. They interfere with military affairs."
"Chen Guo has been doing things again recently. If one day he died for his father, I hope you can take on this huge family business..."
Xiao Zicheng sighed in his heart, even more melancholy than Xiao Fangzhi.
Although he still doesn't have that deep feelings for this family today, he still feels a little touched when he looks at the solemn tablet in front of him.
The Great Zhou has no choice at the moment, and the Hu people must give it a painful blow, otherwise the border suffering will be wiped out like a tumor if it is not cured for a day.
But the peace faction led by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice tried hard to stop the parties in the court, and the struggles of the parties in the court were already terminally ill.
Even the current emperor is in a dilemma and cannot make a decision.
Suddenly, Xiao Zicheng couldn't help but realize that Deng Jian was willing to pay too much money and wanted to kill him, which would be related to the dispute in the court.
Once he dies, according to the rules, Xiao Fangzhi must hold a funeral at home and cannot command troops for at least one year.
