After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

The new house is now hot and dry due to underfloor heating, so it is really not suitable for staying for a long time.

After Xiao Yansui took his grandfather Xiao Song to see the most important window glass design, he didn't specifically mention the two-meter bed, and directly accompanied Xiao Song back to his yard.

The beagle walked into the room, felt the temperature of the ground under the soles of his feet, couldn't help jumping up twice, couldn't help looking inside curiously, then turned his head and chased after Xiao Song who had already left the yard Went with Xiao Yansui.

On the way back with his grandfather, Xiao Yansui briefly talked about his next plan.

Anyway, the renovated courtyard in the old house is basically at the mercy of Xiao Yansui, and the area of ​​the old house is very large, there is no need to make all the courtyards similar in this one courtyard, so Xiao Yansui plans to Just set up a glass greenhouse in this yard, the kind that blooms all year round. After all, there are always precious flowers and plants in the house. Xiao Yansui is not very interested in collecting and appreciating this aspect, but Xiao Song does. Is a good player.

Moreover, because the newly renovated house itself is connected to floor heating, it seems that the effect is not bad so far. Those craftsmen already have experience, and they directly build another greenhouse next to it. Relatively speaking, the workload is not very big , but, for the sake of visual effects and as much sunlight as possible, in the construction of the greenhouse, a large area of ​​building materials should be replaced with transparent glass. In this way, considering that the structure of the greenhouse must have sufficient stability and support, As well as the uneven settlement that may occur when planting those flowers and plants, and then have some impact on the building structure near the ground, the quality of the glass building materials used in the greenhouse needs special consideration.

But then again, Xiao Yansui wanted to build a greenhouse because on the one hand, she wanted to toss about itching, and on the other hand, it was also to allow her grandfather Xiao Song to enjoy the flowers and grass better. By the way, if she If you want to grow some crops, it's better to grow them in the greenhouse, isn't it...

Moreover, the design requirements of this greenhouse are different from the basic requirements of future generations. The area of ​​the greenhouse is not that large, and the planting area will definitely be reduced accordingly. In addition, there are always maids and servants to take care of them daily. The structural strength that needs to be considered in the design , structural rigidity and durability and other issues, on the contrary become not so difficult.

After all, without considering the cost, many problems can be effectively solved in a small area by relying on money and self-will.

When Xiao Yansui and his grandfather Xiao Song were talking about their next plans for glass greenhouses like greenhouses, a sudden idea came to their minds, and they thought of another thing that is especially effective in winter—vegetable greenhouses.

In Shanhai Town in South Lanling County, a large piece of land belongs to the Xiao Family Village, and in the Xiao Family Village, basically all the land belongs to the Lanling Xiao Family.

Previously, during the Kaiyuan period, the national power of the Tang Dynasty could be said to have reached the top of the world at that time. The foundation laid by a prosperous age also promoted the rapid development of the feudal economy of the Tang Dynasty.

The land equalization system established in the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty would have been gradually destroyed after a hundred years. However, the more developed the feudal economy, the more active the agriculture, handicrafts and commerce. The faster the private small-scale peasant economy in the state of land is destroyed, the more prominent the privatization and commercialization of land will be, which will inevitably lead to the intensification of land annexation.

Initially, the feudal dynasty distributed the land to the farmers according to the population and owned them. However, the land allocated to the small farmers was allowed to be bought and sold. As the world changed, these lands gradually fell into the ranks of nobles, bureaucrats and landlords again. hands.

A person like Xiao Song who was born in a top-notch family, and then bears the name of Xu Guogong, has a large number of Yongyetian inherited from the elders in his family, and he is rewarded by the saint. The land that will not be nationalized, has been accumulated by the Lanling Xiao family for many generations, and its current scale is extraordinary.

However, Xiao Song didn't even need to personally ask about such a small matter. When the housekeeper in the mansion was taking care of the fields of the master's family, he might just mention it to the master's family for the convenience of connecting the land together, and then he went I bought a large piece of land and put it together...

In the current Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, the private ownership of land in the hands of the big landlord class has expanded rapidly, almost completely breaking the original pattern of the land equalization system.

Naturally, this kind of thing doesn't just happen to the Xiao family in Lanling.

Just ignoring these powerful powerful families, and the Jiedushi who hold heavy troops in the border towns, the situation is actually the same. Its power is as great as a country within a country.

In the feudal towns guarded by Jiedushi, because they are adjacent to hostile forces such as Tubo and Turks, they have to raise troops for self-protection, and they have to plan for themselves in order to maintain various expenses, so that the seriousness of land annexation is even more serious. Aristocratic families in various places...

At this time, Xiao Yansui's understanding of the political history and society at that time was basically at the theoretical level of the high school political examination. He only knew that his family had a lot of money. Flowers and vegetables lead to a very rich life, so she came back with her, and outside her hometown, there are many fields that she can freely provide for her to toss about.

As for the problems that may arise when most of the land annexation has fallen into the hands of the big landlord class at that time, Xiao Yansui may have seen serious consequences in history books in her previous life, but don't take this too seriously. Modernized texts are placed in front of her, and with her current political and historical acumen, it is difficult for her to realize these by herself.

Under the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the seemingly peaceful life of ordinary people is actually in jeopardy, even to the point of being in danger. The number of refugees and escaped households is gradually expanding. Just waiting for a spark to detonate...

The Anshi Rebellion in history is actually just the carrier of the social conflicts accumulated over the years in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, that is, without An Lushan and Shi Siming, sooner or later, nothing more than these decades, there will always be Another person took advantage of the trend to detonate this war...

Xiao Yansui, whose thinking has developed from building a greenhouse for his grandfather Xiao Song to grow flowers and grass at home, to a vegetable greenhouse, has begun to frown slightly, thinking about how to seal it to keep warm without plastic film.

After all, most of the plastic films used in vegetable greenhouses are made of polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride. This kind of chemical material comes from the development of petrochemical industry. At the current industrial level of the Tang Dynasty, it is easy to get some cement and burn glass. There is no problem in ordering ordnance and gunpowder. Even mining a metal mine and building a blast furnace to improve the current level of metallurgy is actually very thoughtful for Xiao Yansui. However, asking her to mine oil and then carry out petrochemical industry is completely beyond the reach. She's beyond her abilities.

Even if she is very clear about the principles inside, it will not work. It is purely because the level of industry is limited, and the overall level of society has not developed to an appropriate historical stage. Some technological industries cannot be touched at all.

However, without plastic film, vegetable greenhouses have to find a suitable substitute.

Xiao Yansui frowned for a moment, the first material that came to her mind was the material of modern industry, similar to non-woven fabrics.

As for grass quilts, they can be found directly in the Tang Dynasty. Many of those farmers are good at weaving straw screens. The only problem is that if there is no plastic film, the warmth retention and airtightness of the vegetable greenhouse will be reduced. There are many, and we still have to try our best to think of other reliable methods.

In fact, off-season vegetables are not uncommon in the palace. Speaking of which, Concubine Yang's lychees can now be shipped eight hundred miles expedited...

Similarly, in winter, some fresh vegetables are often seen on the tables of noble families. However, the quantity of fresh vegetables itself must be very scarce. After all, the wisdom of the working people is infinite. The operation of artificially growing vegetables actually existed as early as the Han Dynasty. The problem was that the cost of manpower and material resources required at that time was too high, so that even the emperor could not do it for a long time without scruple...

Xiao Yansui didn't expect to be able to reduce the cost of vegetable greenhouses to the point where they could be popularized among the people. However, she really couldn't hold back her curiosity for this kind of experimental situation that was readily available, and talked to Xiao Song about it. After a few sentences, one plan after another quickly flashed in my mind, and I wish I could go out now for a field inspection and start construction.

It's still October, and there's plenty of time. When winter comes, the frame of her vegetable greenhouse will definitely be set up.

"Ah Weng, the floor heating in the new house will have to burn for another two days. After all, it is a newly built house. It won't hurt to add more fireworks." After Xiao Song sat down in the gazebo in the courtyard with a smile, Xiao Yansui He also sat next to him, resting his chin on his hands, poking his elbows on the stone table, and explained happily, "Don't look at that house is so hot now, in winter, it will be hot even if you step on the ground with your shoes on. You will know how comfortable it is when you live in it.”

She didn't explain, high temperature is good for volatilization. Recently, the floor heating is burning and the windows are opened every day to ventilate. After the temperature of the house will slowly drop to a suitable level, the new house will become like the old house, which is extraordinarily adaptable.

While talking, the beagle wagging its tail affectionately threw itself at Xiao Yansui. Xiao Yansui was deflected by its throwing arm, turned around and lowered his head, and saw that the fabric of his clothes was also rubbed Get wet.

"Oh!" Xiao Yansui subconsciously cried out, rubbed the beagle's head vigorously, turned to look at Xiao Song, and said sincerely: "Aunt, don't let it go into the water casually at home."

After lightly patting the beagle twice, and admonishing it not to jump into people covered in water, Xiao Yansui simply got up and said, "Ah Weng, I'll go back and change my clothes, and then go out for a walk."

Naturally, Xiao Song didn't have any objection, he smiled and agreed: "Okay." He just reminded him carefully: "Take more people with you."

Xiao Yansui nodded as she said.
