Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

"It's all Cheng Yaojin's fault!"

"No reason!"

……

Near Chunming Gate.

The five hundred acres of land have all been covered with boards or strips.

In order to facilitate Chen Chu's supervision, Cheng Yaojin directly resorted to his unreasonable means, kicked the city guard a few times, and successfully built a house for Chen Chu on the tower of Chunming Gate.

Standing here, you can see the situation of the whole construction site at a glance.

At this moment, Chen Chu was lying on the recliner by the window, with a tin stove burning coal at his feet.

Originally, Cheng Yaojin sneered at this kind of coal-burning thing, because in this era, coal was called black soil, and when it was burned, there was billowing smoke, and there was also a pungent smell. A little carelessness , and cause death.

But Chen Chu's stove is different, it has a pipe that draws all the smoke and smell to the outside of the house, it doesn't affect the house, but it is very warm.

In the extremely cold winter, this is an artifact.

Old Cheng couldn't help but hum in court, in front of Li Er, in front of the ministers.

Li Er directly sent Gao Chen to ask Chen Chu to build a batch of iron stoves.

After going back and forth, this kind of non-technical stuff was revealed.

Nowadays, the big families in Chang'an City don't use charcoal basins for the winter, but use this kind of iron stove.

The people of Datang were smart enough to directly name it Chen Chulu.

When Chen Chu heard the news, his hair was black.

What kind of cultural level is this?

It's good to give a name to something like this, but Chen Chu felt that it was a bit embarrassing to name a tin stove.

The kettle on the stove was steaming hot.

Cheng Yaojin was also lying on a deck chair opposite, feeling quite contented.

Cheng Chubi squatted aside, feeling very satisfied.

puff.

Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin stretched out his foot and kicked Cheng Chubi, and shouted: "Little brat, why don't you go to the construction site and show your uncle if those craftsmen are lazy?"

"oh oh!"

Cheng Chubi pouted, bowed his head and left.

Cheng Yaojin sat up straight, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Fifth brother, are there enough craftsmen? If not, I will send people to recruit from other places. There are no idle craftsmen in this area for hundreds of miles. It's..."

Chen Chu felt dizzy for a while, and hurriedly said, "Enough is enough, fourth brother, enough is enough."

At the beginning, he just wanted Cheng Yaojin to help recruit a group of craftsmen, who knew that Cheng Yaojin had fully developed his old man's unruly spirit, deceived him, and even used force to get him enough There are thousands of people.

After the craftsmen arrived, they were all smiles.

But all the people in Chang'an City were scolding Cheng Yaojin.

Even the officials in the court attacked Cheng Yaojin for this matter every day.

Chen Chu said worriedly: "Fourth brother, you have committed public anger this time, so you are not worried at all?"

Cheng Yaojin said disdainfully: "Just relying on those idiots, they can't do anything to me, old Cheng. Fifth brother, you can do it at ease, no one dares to do anything to you."

Chen Chu was very moved.

Originally, this matter could be pushed to him.

But Cheng Yaojin did things in the name of Duke Lu's mansion with such great fanfare, just to avoid Chen Chu.

After all, Chen Chu was just a white body, if he was besieged by Quan Chang'an City and those in the court, he would not be able to bear it at all.

Lao Cheng is a fastidious person.

Chen Chu said: "Fourth brother, later, have a hot pot with beef stew."

Cheng Yaojin asked: "Where did you get the beef?"

Chen Chu smiled with some embarrassment: "Ahem, I just came out of Lu Guogong's mansion, and Chu Bi and I went out one after the other, and saw a cow fell to death by the roadside. I think that since the cow is dead, according to Buddhism According to the family, we still have to go beyond..."

Cheng Yaojin nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, it is time to go beyond the limits, and the monks will not be allowed to come over this matter, let us brothers come, let it be reincarnated as a human being in the next life."

"exactly……"

The two hit it off immediately and got busy immediately.

Not long after, the fragrance in the small room wafted out.

But the soldiers who stood guard on the tower were spoiled.

……

Chapter 192 Dog Sledding

It is difficult for craftsmen of this era to quickly build a mansion covering an area of ​​[-] mu.

But for Chen Chu, it was not that difficult.

The mansion he wants to build is different from traditional mansions, from layout to style.

Chen Chu also has a new type of building material called cement. Traditional wood construction requires the wood to be air-dried and polished. Large-scale use of wood may take more than half a year. Concrete made of cement can be made in any shape you want. What shape can be made, it only takes a few days to form.

Moreover, Chen Chu handed over advanced tools such as pulleys and simple tower cranes to Zhu Neng and others.

Just say the simplest land leveling.

In the past, a dozen horses dragged a huge stone mill or wood to crush it everywhere. Now, Chen Chu directly invented the most primitive pile driver, which uses pulleys to lift extremely heavy boulders high, and then slams them into piles. There are more than a dozen pile drivers like this on the entire construction site, so the sound of thud thud thud and the tremor of the ground can be heard from a distance.

The progress of the whole project is very fast.

Days go by like this.

Because Chen Chu had people cover the construction site with tall wooden boards, outsiders only heard the busy noise inside, but they didn't know how far it was built.

Instead, Chen Chu was free, besides drinking with Cheng Yaojin, he took the eldest princess Li Lizhi to ride a horse on the city wall for fun.Originally, it was not allowed to ride horses on the city wall, but the eldest princess said yes, so it must be possible.

It looks like the new year is coming.

On this day, there was heavy snowfall in Chang'an City.

Soon there was knee-deep snow.

Li Er and several important ministers were standing under the eaves of Ganlu Hall, admiring the snow.

Wang Gui said: "Your Majesty, my lords, the auspicious snow heralds a good year, this winter's heavy snowfalls come one after another, and next year will definitely have a good harvest."

"What Master Wang said is absolutely true!"

"Yes, the Tang Dynasty has enjoyed good weather in recent years, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is the merit of His Majesty."

Some people started flattering Li Er instead.

Between the monarch and his ministers, there is a happy atmosphere.

Li Er was in a good mood, and said: "Come here, go and summon the crown prince and King Jin, they can come and enjoy such a beautiful scenery..."

A eunuch hurried away.

Li Er thought for a while and said, "Go and call Chen Chu over."

Chen Chu?

The ministers were a little confused.

The prince and King Jin can understand, after all, they are Li Er's favorite two sons.

Of course, there are actually four of Li Er's favorite princes.

One is Prince Li Chengqian.

One is Jin Wang Li Zhi.

One is Qi Wang Li Tai.

A Shu king Li Ke.

Today, Qi Wang Li Tai is the governor of Yizhou, and the leader of the army has not returned yet, while Shu Wang Li Ke was born to the daughter of Sui Yang Emperor, so he must not appear here.

But what the hell is Chen Chu?

The ministers couldn't help it.

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, why did you let Chen Chu enter the palace?"

Li Er laughed, and said: "Auxiliary machine, you are worrying too much. I just looked at the heavy snow and thought that Chen Chu's mansion might have stopped, so I wanted to call him into the palace to see if he admitted his mistake." meaning."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, Chen Chu was greedy at the beginning and chose a piece of land of [-] mu. Now that he has realized his mistakes, and with the recent heavy snowfall, I am afraid that he has already regretted it. When he came into the palace and saw this situation, he might not be able to hold back his tears, and knelt down on the spot to beg His Majesty to take back the original will."

The image of a pitiful guy was immediately revealed from Changsun Wuji's description.

Wang Gui, Fang Xuanling and others all smiled endlessly.

Not long after, Li Chengqian and Li Zhi arrived.

However, everyone's energy was not put on the two of them.

Instead, he looked forward to Chen Chu who had not yet appeared.

Everyone also knew that the snow in Chang'an City was knee-deep now, and the eunuch who delivered the decree hadn't returned, so Chen Chu might have a long time to enter the palace.

Everyone continued to enjoy the snow.

Suddenly, Chen Shuda pointed to the distance in surprise and shouted: "Look, what is that?"

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw in the distance of Ganlu Hall, under the tall palace wall, on the snowy ground, a black shadow was galloping towards this side, at an extremely fast speed.

Li Er was startled: "Whose horse is that, why is it so fast? No, it's not a horse. In this weather, horses can't walk at all. What is that, and why is it so fast?"

Everyone's eyes widened, but it was a pity that the snow was too heavy and foggy, so they couldn't see clearly.

Just when everyone showed curiosity, the black shadow suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone looked closely.

It turned out to be Chen Chu.

Chen Chu was wearing a leather jacket, real leather, purebred animal skin, leather gloves, a leather hat, and a cloth mask. Only two eyes and a nose were exposed, and the rest of the body was tightly wrapped. Seriously.

He was riding on a strange wooden frame, and in front of the wooden frame were three big yellow dogs.

The big yellow dog was also wearing clothes made of animal skins.

It turned out that Chen Chu came galloping with these three dogs.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Brothers Li Chengqian and Li Zhi stared wide-eyed, looking at Chen Chu's car curiously.

None of the people present had seen such a thing.

It's amazing.

Li Er couldn't help asking: "Boy Chen, where is the servant I sent to deliver the decree?"

Chen Chu opened the mask, took off the leather gloves, patted the snow on his buttocks, and said, "Father, that kid's carriage fell into the snow just after leaving Duke Lu's mansion, and the wheels fell off. I won't be back soon, I heard that my father is in a hurry to find me, so I will enter the palace..."

Li Er pointed to the strange thing and asked, "You came here on this thing?"

Chen Chu nodded: "Father, this is a sled, a special vehicle for riding in snow."

Only then did everyone see that this sled, even if one person rides it, won't get stuck in the snow.

Why did the carriage get stuck?

What about the sled?

Everyone looked at Chen Chu curiously.

Chen Chu was too lazy to explain.

In fact, the principle is very simple. There is a huge smooth wooden board under the sled, and the carriage has only two wheels.This involves the knowledge of pressure. In short, the force-bearing area affects the pressure, and the pressure determines whether it will sink into the snow.
