Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 159 Depends on the Prince
Ying Zheng's words sounded tricky as soon as he heard them, and Li Si and Feng Quji also reacted and begged one after another.

"Yes, Your Highness, you can study with the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and it will definitely be faster."

"I'm not afraid of charcoal poison, as long as I can research a safe coal stove, it's worth it even if I die!"

Hearing Feng Quji's words, Zhao Yi was at a loss. When Ying Zheng and others left the Prince's Mansion, Feng Quji was carrying the coal stove, his face was flushed, and he looked sick.

Behind him, Li Si was carrying a load of briquettes and a kettle in his hand. Only Ying Zheng was the most relaxed, walking out in a cotton coat empty-handed.

"Your Majesty, shall we go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs now?" Feng Quji glanced at the snow-capped world and asked Ying Zheng.

"En." Ying Zheng nodded, "Since the crown prince said that this product has shortcomings, it must be true. You should go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs as soon as possible and study carefully. We must develop a safe and reliable coal stove as soon as possible!"

Li Si and Feng Quji agreed with a bang, and then rushed to the Ministry of Civil Affairs Yamen. On the way, Feng Quji and the others unexpectedly ran into Wang Ben and other generals. As soon as the generals heard that they had a treasure that could keep out the cold, they immediately followed.

In the yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a large group of people surrounded Li Si and Feng Quji, watching them light up the fire and seeing the briquettes slowly turning red, their eyes lit up suddenly.

"My God, what is this thing, it's burning, and it's still so hot?"

"Hey, something's wrong, Prime Minister Left, Prime Minister Right, what are you wearing? Why do you look so warm?"

The generals soon discovered something strange. Some of them stared at the coal stove in a daze, while others gathered around Li Si and Feng Quji, looking at the cotton-padded clothes on their bodies. From time to time they reached out to touch them, and they all marveled.

"The cotton clothes we wear are like coal stoves. They are made by His Royal Highness. They are good treasures that can keep out the cold!"

Feng Quji introduced it to everyone, and casually put the kettle filled with water on the coal stove. As the water on the coal stove boiled, the temperature in the room rose rapidly, and the eyes of all the generals present suddenly Bright.

"I'll go, this thing is a bit tricky, why did it get hot so quickly?"

"Yeah, the room was still like an ice cellar just now, why does it feel like it's spring?"

"It seems like it's all the result of this coal stove. It's really miraculous. It's so hot that I can't even stand next to it!"

"Really, left minister, right minister, this is really made by the crown prince? How can this thing be used?"

Feng Quji smiled lightly, "Didn't I demonstrate it to you just now? This coal stove needs to be ignited to burn charcoal, and then put briquettes to burn. Its biggest use is to start a fire indoors to boil water, which can quickly increase the temperature in the house!"

Li Xin's eyes shone brightly, "This thing is good, I didn't expect His Highness the Crown Prince to be so capable, to come up with such a precious thing in the Prince's Mansion!"

Wang Li nodded again and again, "Indeed, if we put one in each room at home, this winter will be much easier!"

Qiang Li was more straightforward, "Your Prime Minister, you have taken more than one of such good things from the prince, right? Hurry up and share with everyone, so we can survive the winter!"

When Wang Li and Li Xin heard the words, they suddenly realized, and everyone also looked at Feng Quji one after another.

Feng Qujiu rolled his eyes and said, "I'll give you one for each of you. Only the prince has two of these things, because they are just developed and have serious problems. If it is really like what you said, put one in each room, There will be no one alive in your house overnight!"

"Ah?" Wang Li and Li Xin were taken aback, "Why, isn't this thing suitable for heating? How can it hurt people?"

"Charcoal poison, this thing has charcoal poison!" Feng Quji rolled his eyes, "Why don't even His Majesty have one now!"

"Yes, yes, this thing can only be used during the day, but at night, it's no different from killing yourself." Li Si also said from the side, "It's not as good as the cotton coat I'm wearing."

Li Si's words instantly diverted the generals' attention. Li Xin looked at the cotton coat on Li Si, with a green light in his eyes, "What does the left minister mean, this thing is better than the sackcloth to keep out the cold?"

"Can linen clothing be compared with this thing?" Li Si's voice suddenly rose, "To tell you the truth, the cotton clothing I am wearing is more than five or six linen clothing!"

"Hiss..." Li Si said, everyone gasped suddenly, and then all of them suddenly shouted.

"Left minister, right minister, you are too unkind, why don't you call us if there is something good to do!"

"That's right, you are all wearing cotton coats, but we are still freezing!"

"I said, why are you running so fast? It turns out that you are trying to avoid us and take advantage of it!"

Li Xin and Wang Li were filled with righteous indignation. They looked at the cotton-padded clothes on Li Si and Feng Quji, as if they had a mortal enmity, wishing they could take off the cotton-padded clothes they were wearing.

"Confused!" Feng Quji stared, "We are the Prince's Mansion accompanying His Majesty, what do you think we are going to do, it's good, what are you thinking!"

"That's right!" Li Si was also angry. "Now the people of Daqin are suffering. Even the crown prince is thinking about how to relieve the people's worries and develop tools to keep out the cold, but what about you? Just think about being happy!"

"Uh..." The generals' mouths were not as sharp as those of civil officials, especially when they said something reasonable, so they couldn't help being embarrassed.

Wang Li hurriedly looked around and said to him, "The right minister means that His Majesty and the crown prince have already thought of a way to relieve the disaster?"

"Of course, the key lies in the coal stove." Feng Quji said, "As long as we can seize the time and develop a safe and non-toxic coal stove as soon as possible, the common people will have a much better winter!"

"It looks like this thing should be made of clay, and ordinary craftsmen can make it, so it's not difficult!" Wang Li saw the key point at a glance.

"Exactly." Li Si nodded and said: "The prince also said that this coal stove is simple to cook, but easy to break. Especially when no one is watching at night, the charcoal poison produced in a room with closed doors and windows can easily put people at risk. Death place!"

"Then it's not easy." Qiang Li and the others frowned when they heard this, "If the furnace is sintered harder, it should be able to solve the problem of easy damage, but charcoal poisoning can't be helped."

"That's why we made a special trip to ask the prince to develop this coal stove, but now it seems that if we want to develop a safe and useful coal stove, we still have to look at the prince!" Feng Quji sighed.

"That's right, the crown prince is very capable. Maybe he already has a safe coal stove, but he didn't take it out. Let's go, brothers, go to the prince for a coal stove for cotton clothes!" Qiang Yan's eyes lit up, and he yelled and went out.
