Gu Yuanbai: "Prince Xixia looks drunk."
His eyes made Prince Xixia sober for a moment, cold sweat broke out on his head, and he followed the words: "Yes, I drank too much and forgot the rules."
This matter was put down without salt or light. After lunch, the envoy of Xixia walked out of the Xuanzheng Hall with all the ministers. When the palace attendant led the Xixia people out of the palace, Chu Wei also happened to be coming out of the palace.
For the first time, he took the initiative to walk towards Prince Xixia. Li Angshun saw him and stood still. He smiled frivolously when he waited for someone to come forward and said, "Master Chu, is it that you can't bear me?"
Chu Wei was calm and stared at him, as if to see through the skin, "Seventh prince, do you say you like me?"
Li Angshun froze for a moment, then said, "Of course."
He stroked the slightly curly black hair on his chest, and the face under the felt hat had a profound appearance that was somewhat different from the Daheng people. Xixia and Khitan people have intermarryed, and Li Angshun's mother is the daughter of a Khitan leader, which makes his appearance a bit exotic, but his arrogant eyes are very unpleasant, "Could it be that Chu The adults are shaken, do you really want to go back to Xixia with me and marry me?"
Chu Wei looked at him deeply, coldly, and suddenly said something inexplicable: "You better be honest."
Then turn around and walk away.
Li Angshun's face darkened, and he got on the horse silently. Even a small official of Daheng dared to threaten him, and he dared to teach him a lesson. Li Angshun was the seventh prince of Xixia after all. He thought of Chu Wei's disgusting and disdainful face just now, and thought of Emperor Daheng's treatment of Chu. The maintenance of this person Wei is uncertain.

The emperor's affairs, big and small, can be described as numerous. Gu Yuanbai got busier and busier towards the end of the year, and the entire political affairs hall became dizzy and dizzy. The performance reports of officials at the end of the year were gradually submitted, and the evaluation of officials, rewards and punishments, etc., all needed to be reviewed one by one.
When the various organs of the whole court were running at a high speed, Gu Yuanbai pushed aside all the affairs and skipped work openly.
Being the emperor for so many years, he endured humiliation and survived in the first three years, let alone Pankang, whether he survived or not depends on his face. Finally took power last year, but a serious illness lasted through the winter. So far this year, he has not been ill, and there are no officials in power standing in his way. If he doesn't cook the hot pot this year, Gu Yuanbai will forget that he is a transmigrator.
The kang is divided into three parts: the kang stove, the kang body and the chimney. There are many palaces with pan kang in the Shengjing Palace. Gu Yuanbai's body is not good. When Mrs. Tang is cold at night, Gu Yuanbai can wake up from the freeze. After a few days, he was very annoying, so he simply found a royal craftsman. , and told them the methods of kang and floor heating in memory.
In the Ming Dynasty, the blue brick basement was the flue. Gu Yuanbai could not need the floor heating first, but he must have a heated kang.
After listening to the saint's thoughts, a few craftsmen thoughtfully said it was not difficult, "What is difficult is the handling of the flue, and the palace is so big that only one heated kang can't warm the entire palace. When laying the kang surface, you must also find a good location.”
The kang surface is not difficult, but how to make it look beautiful and luxurious without destroying the beauty of the entire palace.
Gu Yuanbai nodded, "The bricks are slate, the slate is mud, and there is a layer of kang wall inside, and the flue should be in the kang wall."
The craftsmen nodded again and again, and they looked relaxed, "Your Majesty, don't worry, we will draw the pattern as soon as possible and give it to you later."
Gu Yuanbai was extremely relieved, "Then it's hard work everyone."
After several craftsmen left the emperor, they got together to discuss how to make this heated kang. Naturally, the heated kang used in the sanctuary cannot be used up. It depends on what kind of material can keep you warm for a longer time. The flue inside must be smooth and smooth, and it must be clean, beautiful, odor-free and noise-free. Considering all aspects, it becomes simple. Not simple anymore.
But I had never thought of this method of heating before. When the saint proposed it, the craftsmen felt empowered. They were often excited when they talked, and they were even more energetic when they studied the drawings, which could be called sleepless nights.
A few days later, Gu Yuanbai received the drawings of the heated kang.
The craftsmen added a heated kang based on the style of the palace. Several palaces where the sage often stayed will have a heated kang, especially the bedroom and the place where the government is handled. Because the palace is large, if you want the whole house to be warm, you need more than one plate. some kang.
There are seven kang noodles in the palace where the sage rested.
As soon as Gu Yuanbai saw this drawing, he seemed to have felt the heat of the heated kang, and his whole body became warm. He took out the drawings of the heated kang and took a look at it separately. The exhaust vents, flues, load-bearing walls and kang surfaces were neat and beautiful.
The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. In addition to what Gu Yuanbai said, the craftsmen also added many small details, all of which are appropriate and useful.
Gu Yuanbai immediately said: "Approval. I will transfer the silver taels today and start repairing the heated kang."
Because of the order of the saint, the palace began to work in full swing. In the side hall of Xuanzheng Hall, people also entered the pankang. Occasionally, when adults walked by, they heard the sound inside and asked what they were doing.
Gu Yuanbai said in unison, "Pankang."
The things used by the saints are often followed by the officials. As soon as the officials are used, the people will also yearn for it. Just like the cotton-padded clothes that the saint wore before, as soon as the cotton-padded clothes came out, the officials and businessmen wearing brocade satin also wanted to change out of the silk and satin and put on the cotton-padded clothes. But the cotton coats were all sent to the frontier, and it was difficult to get one. But the more so, the more sought after.
After understanding the function of the heated kang, the officials entering and leaving the Xuanzheng Hall were a little moved. The things used by the saint are all good things, but this blueprint is in the hands of the royal family. Even if the ministers are moved, they don't know how to speak.
So I went round and round to find the Minister of the Ministry of Housing. After hearing it, the Minister of the Household had an idea and had the idea of making money, so he came to Gu Yuanbai and Qiming specially: "Sir, the ministers are very excited about the heated kang in the palace, if you don't wait for the palace After the craftsmen are busy with the heated kang in the palace, they will collect the money and go to the house of the ministers and clans to make the kang? In this way, the court can also earn more money for the kang."
Gu Yuanbai was looking at the memorial, and couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Is the court already so poor that your minister of household needs to do this?"
The Minister of the Household smirked and refused to give up: "Sir, there are more or less tens of thousands of people in the capital who have spare capacity for pan kang. If it is really as the craftsmen say, it has such an excellent heating effect, then it must be this winter. A CD-ROM can make a lot of money.”
"I haven't prepared the heated kang yet, so you all started to think about it," Gu Yuanbai had a headache, "I originally planned to wait for the palace to finish before sending people to the official and clan's mansion to have a kang as a reward. The credit they have made to the court. If you interrupt like this, will I collect the money later and then go down the grace?"
The Minister of the Household thought for a while, "Sacred Lord. The craftsmen in the palace went to the courtiers' mansion to build such a heating object, which is a great favor. The ministers must be grateful and always recite the grace of the saint. But the ministers use it well. , I will also think of my parents, wife and daughter, how can a family have more than ten kangs, so it is still not enough."
Gu Yuanbai has put down the memorial in his hand, "Go on."
The minister of households saluted and said: "I thought, apart from the ministers and clansmen, the merchants and the families of the common people also yearn for the method of the heated kang. After the grace of the sage, the court must have known the power of this thing. It is not easy for the ministers to come directly to the sage. If the craftsmen in the palace took over these tasks, they only did business among the officials and clansmen. The common people and merchants would give the drawings to the folk artisans, allowing them to do business with them. They took over the pan kang work, and then according to the number of pan kangs, one for each pan, they handed over a share of money to the court."
"In this way, folk craftsmen can also earn more money and have a good year. Let the people stay warm in their houses and get through this harsh winter comfortably."
The sage thought for a while, then nodded and said, "You go and write a detailed charter."
The Minister of the Ministry was overjoyed: "Yes!"

Soon, the heated kang in the palace will be ready for use.
What Gu Yuanbai was most delighted about was not that he could use the heated kang to make money for the imperial court, but that he could finally get a good night's sleep with warm hands and feet.
Over the past few days, the only good sleep he had had was when Xue Yuan rushed back to Beijing, clutching his hands and feet to sleep. He had no dreams that night and was very comfortable. On the second day, after no one was a bed warmer, it returned to before liberation overnight.
However, the kang was fine, but it was too dry. When Gu Yuanbai woke up in the morning, he needed to drink several glasses to quench his thirst, and when he touched his lips, his lips were already dry.
Tian Fusheng always pays attention to the physical changes of the saint. It is winter now, and the kang is warm but dry. He is worried that the fire in the saint's body is too large, but the imperial doctor said after finishing the pulse: "These days are fine, the kang prevents the cold from entering the body, but instead Beneficial. The sage just needs to drink more tea that quenches thirst and reduces fire. If the mouth is dry and the liver and stomach are hot, it means that the internal fire is too large and needs to be avoided."
"It's not good if it's cold, it's not good if it's hot," Gu Yuanbai sighed, "Okay, I know, let's go."
After the imperial doctor went down, Tian Fusheng took out the ointment again, "Sir, the imperial doctor told the young man that if it is too dry, it will make the hands and face chapped, and the ointment needs to be used."
Gu Yuanbai handed him his hand, and when Tian Fusheng finished applying the medicine, he withdrew his hand, but the tip of his nose smelled a light herbal fragrance, he raised his hand and put it in front of his nose to sniff, "I seem to have smelled this before. smell."
Tian Fusheng's apprentice stepped forward to deliver the tea, followed by sniffing the tip of his nose, and remembered something: "Sir, when Master Xue was still on duty in front of the hall, he once asked the young man for a handguard. That thing was also added. Herbs, the taste is somewhat similar to this one."
Handguard stuff
Gu Yuanbai couldn't remember: "When?"
"It was when you caught the cold," the little eunuch said rationally. "After the Lantern Festival, the day after you made a lantern at Lord Chu's mansion."
Gu Yuanbai remembered it, and he said thoughtfully, "It was that time."
He burned his mouth, Xue Yuan stepped forward to protect him, but the action was too hasty, but a rough hand rubbed his lips.
No wonder his hands became more delicate in the summer palace. But when he came back a few days ago, the hand that touched Gu Yuanbai's body seemed to be thick and deep again.
Did you have a crush on him so early
Xue Jiuyao, he really knows how to hide.
