Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 158 Research Together

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. I didn't expect them to be so loyal!" Feng Qujiu said sourly, Zhao Yi rolled his eyes, and didn't even bother to pay attention to him.

Hearing this, Yingzheng subconsciously glanced at Dongfang Bubai. Why didn't he want to recruit Dongfang Bubai before, but Dongfang Bubai refused directly without even thinking about it.

Xu Shi noticed Ying Zheng's eyes, and Dongfang Bubai fell to the end of the crowd. I don't know how he did it, but he just made Ying Zheng invisible.

Ying Zheng was very speechless. These people in the prince's mansion were stranger than each other, but each one was more powerful than the other. They didn't know what to think. Wouldn't it be better to work for themselves than the prince?

"Hurry up, Brother Prince, hurry up and let me see if your little stove is warmer than a cotton coat!"

Ying Liman had heard about the benefits of coal stoves for a long time, and she was curious about some new things because of her childlike nature. She dragged Zhao Yi and ran wildly, and Zhao Yi's face turned blue.

In this snowy day, the ground is slippery, and it's not fun to fall. Fortunately, Dongfang Bubai was guarding him, and he arrived at the wing in the backyard without any danger.

Before I entered the living room, I saw two coal stoves outside, and some servants were already busy in front of the coal stoves, but I didn't see them light the fire for a long time.

"Bubai, go help them and light up the coal stove!" Zhao Yi frowned and greeted Dongfang Bubai.

Dongfang Bubai bowed his hand to promise, stepped forward to signal the servant who started the fire to get out of the way, took a qi, and flicked his finger at the dead branch in the coal stove, only to see sparks shining, the dead branch ignited, Dongfang Bubai three times Divide two, and raise the fire.

Afterwards, Dongfang Bubai picked up briquettes with an iron skewer and put them in the coal stove. After a while, the briquettes also ignited, so Dongfang Bubai asked the servant to bring the ignited coal stove into the living room of the wing.

Ying Zheng, Li Si and the others got impatient for a long time, and when they saw the servant bringing in the coal stove, they immediately moved over to have a look.

"Hey, this thing is interesting. Is this a coal stove? What is burned in it is coal?"

"It looks like Shi Nie, so it turns out that this thing can start a fire, and it can still burn, but how long can it burn?"

"It's quite hot, Your Majesty, look, there is a coal stove in this room, it seems to be much warmer."

You say something, I say something, but everyone's knowledge of coal stoves is limited to a new gadget.

Zhao Yi looked indifferent. After all, no matter how much you say, it is better to experience it yourself. I believe it will not take long before Ying Zheng and the others will be surprised.

"Your Highness, the three coal stoves have been lit." Dongfang Bubai quickly ignited the other coal stoves and sent them into the main hall.

Zhao Yi nodded slightly, indicating that Dongfang Bubai could continue, and saw Dongfang Bubai leading the servants, bringing up a few kettles and putting them on the coal stove.

Soon, as the kettle on the coal stove boiled, the temperature in the living room rose sharply, and Ying Zheng and the others who were standing in front of the stove suddenly felt the heat wave rushing towards them.

"Hey, the temperature rises fast enough, the water will be hot when it boils, it's really interesting!"

"Well, this stove boils water very quickly, and the briquettes seem to be quite resistant to burning. The water is still so hot even after boiling!"

"With this stove, the whole room is warm. If I sleep with such a stove at night, it will be much more comfortable to spend the winter!"

Ying Zheng and the others looked at the coal stove in amazement. They were all smart people, and they could see at a glance the role of the coal stove in winter.

"Yi'er, are those black things in this coal stove coal? They should be able to burn charcoal besides coal!" Ying Zheng asked Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi nodded lightly, but said nothing , such a mentally handicapped question, he didn't want to answer it.

[The old stuff is too old, it’s easy to ask such a weak question, of course the coal stove is burning coal, so it’s still burning paper! 】

[Of course, charcoal can also be burned, but burning charcoal is prone to charcoal poisoning, and the burning speed of charcoal is too fast. After one winter, why not cut down all the mountains outside Xianyang City? 】

[The old thing really has no pattern at all. Can’t you see such a simple thing? I don’t know how to become an emperor! 】

Ying Zheng frowned slightly. He didn't expect that he would be complained so badly by Zhao Yi for just one problem.

But after hearing this, Zhao Yi was right. It had been half a day, and the charcoal fire in the coal stove was still strong. If charcoal was used, it would have been a good opportunity to add new charcoal.

If it really burns like this, it may only need to add coal once a night, which is enough for the whole night.

If all the people in Xianyang City had such a charcoal stove in their homes, they would spend the winter...

Yingzheng was still thinking about it, but Li Si and Feng Quji had already started to act, "His Royal Highness, can you give this coal stove to my ministers for some research?"

"Daqin is constantly suffering from snowstorms, and the people are in urgent need of such a coal stove to keep out the cold. Please, Your Highness the Crown Prince, will help!"

It was only at this time that Ying Zheng came to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Yi'er, I should have prepared such a good thing long ago, right?"

Zhao Yi rolled his eyes and sneered in his heart, why do you both want to pick up ready-made ones?No way!
"Everyone, I'm sorry, if you ask me about cotton-padded clothes, I still have a few, but there is no coal stove!"

"This thing is time-consuming and wasteful. I just asked the craftsman to make a few of them. They are still semi-finished products. I don't know if they are dangerous. How can they be used casually? You should know about charcoal poisoning. If you use it improperly, it will be dangerous. dead person's!"

"My father has a body worth thousands of dollars. How can I put my father in danger? So I'd better wait for my son to improve before dedicating it to my father!"

Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Ying Zheng and the others were speechless. In the palace and in the mansions of the ministers, charcoal is the most used in winter. matter.

This was really no joke, and Ying Zheng could tell that Zhao Yi was not telling lies, which made them feel bad. They didn't expect that coal stoves were also dangerous.

"Your Highness, just give one to my minister, and let my minister and His Highness study and analyze together!" After all, Li Si was so cunning and dared to say anything, Zhao Yi was sure that he had got the coal stove, and it was impossible to use it for research.

"Prime Minister, this thing is really dangerous. I can only figure it out, and no one else can understand it. And even if I teach it, I'm afraid no one can understand the way in it within three to five months. It's better to let it I'll figure it out faster."

Zhao Yi's words left Li Si completely at a loss, but Ying Zheng suddenly thought of something and said with a serious face: "It doesn't matter, the Right Prime Minister has done things in the Ministry of Civil Affairs before, and they are all made by craftsmen. They should know everything about them." .”

"It just so happens that the right minister is sick from the cold, let him use it for research and research, just to keep warm and study together, the prince will see that the right minister is cold and sick for the sake of the country and the people, give him a coal stove, and let him work with you Study it!"
