In mid-July, Chu Yuening still hadn't received the system's reward for the kang, which was a bit strange.

It has been two months since the method of developing the kang was first developed. Why hasn't it been promoted nationwide yet?

She did not want to disturb Ying Zheng, so she ordered the eunuch to summon the person in charge of the craftsmen to inquire about the details.

"Two months have passed, why hasn't the fire kang method spread to all the counties yet?"

The plain but majestic questioning made the officials below tremble.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to do this, but there are simply too many counties and too few craftsmen!"

The imperial edict is really a difficult matter.

This kang is good, but it also requires certain skills.

But there are only a few craftsmen who can build bricks, and there are so many counties and prefectures in the Qin Dynasty that they cannot handle them all.

Hearing this, Chu Yuening was a little speechless.

So if you don't report the problem in time, you have to take the blame yourself, right?

"A group of people were recruited from the public, taught by craftsmen, and assigned to various counties and prefectures."

"For building a kang, one can earn ten coins. The government takes one of the coins and gives the craftsmen a certain amount of teaching fees."

Hearing such a simple solution, Zhao Shi complimented Chu Yuening repeatedly.

"Humph, the matter has not been completed for a long time, and you still conceal it and do not report it. Do you know your crime?"

"Queen, please spare my life. I plead guilty!"

When the emperor heard that he was going to be punished, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and begged for mercy.

As an official, he knew very well how harsh the punishments of the Qin Dynasty were. He didn't want to have his hands and feet chopped off!

"Considering that you are the first to commit the crime, you should carry out my orders and make amends."

Chu Yuening just wanted to scare him.

Let him never dare to shirk his responsibilities again.

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best to carry out your orders."

Zhao Shi swore as if he had survived a disaster, and quickly got up and left to recruit people for training.

Outside the city of Xianyang, notice board.

"Dashi, are you going to join the government recruitment of craftsmen?"

"I do want to go, but you know, I only have that much skill, and I'm afraid people won't appreciate it."

The burly man scratched his head stupidly.

"Oh, what's the big deal? Will the higher-ups teach us if they don't tell us?"

The thin man kept persuading his friend.

Although I have to work in another place, the salary is too high.

By then, not only would the government pay you for learning how to teach others, but you would also earn nine cents for building a kang.

If we build hundreds of them, we won’t have to worry about food and clothing this winter.

"I heard from my cousin in the palace that they only recruit about a hundred people."

Just as everyone was hesitating, a whisper was heard.

"What?!"

Upon hearing that the number of places was limited, a group of men rushed to the government office to sign up.

Only the man who just spoke was left, hiding his merits and fame.

The adults' task is finally half completed.

Once there is a 100% profit, people will take risks.

With money paving the way, kangs became popular throughout the Qin Dynasty in less than half a month.

At first, the craftsmen who had completed training in various counties had not received any orders until the official newspapers began to promote kangs.

The wealthy nobles and businessmen who were not short of money did not hesitate to spend the ten coins and placed orders for kangs.

When sitting on the warm kang, the employers all felt that it was worth the money.

Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until everyone knew the benefits of the kang.

Basically, everyone who has some spare money has placed an order.

For a while, the kang construction team was so busy that they were like spinning tops and had no time to count their wages.

Aqiu wandered around the gate of the government office, feeling conflicted.

Should I order a kang for my home?

But ten cents is what I earn from carrying goods for a whole day!

I still don’t know whether the kang is as good as the rumors say.

But then I thought about my elderly parents at home, my frail children, and the biting cold of the howling winter wind...

Aqiu finally gritted his teeth and entered the government office.

A few days later, after a tiring day at work, Aqiu returned home.

Before he even entered the house, his wife hurried over to greet him.

"Brother Qiu, this kang is really good. It doesn't require a lot of firewood."

Aqiu saw his wife nagging him while pulling him to sit on the kang.

In an instant, a warmth spread from under my buttocks throughout my body, and my palms, which were frozen stiff and purple, also warmed up.

The whole family, young and old, nestled comfortably on the kang, with tears glistening faintly in the corners of Aqiu's eyes.

In the cold winter, they will no longer have to wear linen clothes stuffed with hay and huddle in bed shivering.

In early August, heavy snow began to fall in various places.

Jiuyuan County, inside the General’s Mansion.

A young man in his thirties sat cross-legged on the kang, with a murderous aura surrounding him.

"Brother, this kang is really warm."

"Yes, and it's only ten cents."

Meng Yi replied seriously.

Although the craftsmen did not charge a penny once they knew that their employer was a general guarding the border.

"Brother, did you know that the same person invented horse harness and the kang?"

"Oh? Is this true? Do you know who it is, brother?"

Thinking of the horseshoes and saddle delivered last month, they really solved an urgent problem.

Let them severely defeat the arrogance of the Huns.

"Hey, that brat Wang Ben told me that it was actually the Empress!"

"I heard him say that His Majesty and the Queen are deeply in love, tsk tsk..."

Meng Tian touched his stubbled chin.

I really want to go back to Xianyang to see how your Majesty's cold face can be softened.

"Your Majesty has appointed a queen?"

Meng Yi was stunned.

Is the information at the border so blocked?

Meng Tian ignored his taciturn brother and continued talking to himself.
