"Xiao Jingzhou, are you asleep?"
"I……"
Xiao Jingzhou uttered a word and immediately shut his mouth.
The voice was so hoarse that it made people fantasize.
He cleared his throat. "Not yet."
"I wonder if the girl is looking for me late at night because of something important?"
Jiang Zhenyu didn't notice the change in her voice at all and spoke her thoughts enthusiastically.
"The bathhouse in Zhiyi City is now open for business."
"I'm going to send some cement, bricks, and steel bars.
The people of Zhiyi City all have big kangs in their homes. ”
...
...
She explained: “It’s warm lying on the big kang on a winter night, and you don’t have to worry about catching a cold… that’s what you call a cold.
The most important thing is that it saves charcoal and firewood. ”
Xiao Jingzhou thought of the bathhouse, where there was a ten-meter-long kang in a room. After the firewood was burned out, the kang was so warm that he didn't want to get up after lying on it.
If every household in the city could have a big kang, it would be a blessing for the people!
Xiao Jingzhou was excited: "In this way, the people of Zhiyi City will no longer be afraid of winter."
Jiang Zhenyu: "The soldiers lie in tents every day. Even if they have enough quilts, they cannot get warmth from the big kang.
If we could set aside a piece of land to build large bunk beds for the soldiers, the winter would be much easier.
When the enemy attacks, we can gather quickly and kill them on the battlefield. ”
Xiao Jingzhou's fingertips were wrinkled from soaking in the water, but he was afraid that the sound of water would make Jiang Zhenyu uncomfortable.
Therefore, he could only continue to sit in the water and discuss the construction of walls and kang with Jiang Zhenyu.
Jiang Zhenyu: "The construction of the big kang is almost the same, the only difference is the smoke exhaust vent and the place to add firewood.
I will send you a teaching video and some cases tomorrow, and you can ask others to refer to them and learn from them. ”
Xiao Jingzhou's mouth was dry from soaking, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
Jiang Zhenyu noticed something was wrong and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Her voice is clear and crisp, without any hint of charm.
But when Xiao Jingzhou heard it, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He whispered, "Nothing, I just put down my book and prepared to rest."
Jiang Zhenyu understood instantly: "You've been very tired today, so go to bed early."
After Mubo delivered the last sentence, the area around the bathtub fell into silence.
Xiao Jingzhou could clearly hear his own breathing.
He felt hot all over and drank a cup of cool tea.
With a "splash", water rolled down his body.
Drops of water meandered from the chest to the abdominal muscles.
The bathhouse was built with stairs, and with long, straight legs, he strode up the stairs.
A bony hand picked up the towel on the tray and wiped the water droplets off his body.
After Xiao Jingzhou got ready, he pushed open the door of the bathhouse.
Lu Chen had been waiting outside for a long time. When he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he immediately turned around.
He saw that Xiao Jingzhou's ears were red, and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, why are your ears red?"
Xiao Jingzhou had just finished taking a bath and felt his whole body was burning hot.
He said calmly: "The water is too hot."
"Oh oh oh." Lu Chen nodded as if he understood.
…
Jiang Zhenyu started contacting companies to purchase cement, river sand, putty, bricks and steel bars early in the morning.
She bought it once when Zhiyi City was building its city wall.
This time the purchase was even easier.
Once you place your order, the goods will be delivered the next day.
On the other hand, the red and swollen bumps on the prisoners in the military camp were also under control.
“It really doesn’t seem to itch anymore.”
"This ointment is cool and feels quite comfortable."
"Can you help me check if it's gone?"
Baturu held the ointment in his hand and saw the colorful patterns and words he couldn't understand on it.
During his time in Zhiyi City, so many things were refreshing to him.
He sometimes wondered in his dreams, could it be that Dajing really had the help of gods?
If this is true, how can either Chibei or Beiliang be a match for Dajing?
Now, Prince Dajing not only provides the captives with food and clothing, but he even treats their illnesses regardless of past grudges.
If he had not experienced this kind of thing himself, he would never have believed that there would be such a person in the Seven Kingdoms who would repay evil with kindness.
…
The abandoned training ground in Zhiyi City was filled with cement, bricks and sand.
Xiao Jingzhou ordered his men to escort all the captives to the parade ground to work.
Zheng Shuyu took the construction drawings and taught the bricklayers and carpenters the procedures for building a kang.
Yang Jin was worried from the bottom of his heart when he saw the prisoners moving bricks and mixing cement mortar in the parade ground.
He walked up to Xiao Jingzhou and saluted with his fists clasped.
"Your Highness, the prisoners are holding hoes and shovels, and I am afraid they may have other intentions."
Xiao Jingzhou said calmly: "For those who are not of my race, it is normal for them to have different intentions.
After such a long preparation, if the mercenaries fail to accomplish their mission, there is no need to keep these people. ”
Hearing this, Yang Jin seemed to be enlightened and suddenly looked up at Xiao Jingzhou.
"Yes! I know what to do now."
Tens of thousands of people worked together, and within a few days, the whole city had built big kangs.
The large dormitory buildings for the 20,000 soldiers were also built.
Yang Jin looked at the dozen or so empty bunk beds and felt very confused.
He found Xiao Jingzhou and asked, "Your Highness, what should we do with the remaining bunk beds?"
Xiao Jingzhou said: "Zhiyi City needs to increase its military strength. This is for the soldiers who will join the army in the future."
Chen Gan stood aside and clapped his hands heavily.
He smiled happily: "This is great! We have food and such a comfortable place to live. We don't have to worry about the people not wanting to join the army."
The cement mortar dried and the large bunk beds in the barracks were filled with soldiers.
Everyone is looking forward to sleeping on the big kang tonight.
Dry firewood burned under the kang and the temperature gradually rose.
The soldiers put their hands on the mat and felt the warmth on their cold hands.
"It's hot! It's hot!"
"Not only is it hot, it's also a little scalding!"
"That's great! Now that we have a big kang, we don't have to worry about waking up from the cold at night even if it snows heavily."
The soldiers became impatient and took off their armor and got on the kang.
"Warm, really warm!"
"I can have a good sleep tonight!"
Military camp prison.
The prisoners could hardly believe it as they touched the clean quilts and slept on the warm kang.
"I haven't joined the army yet. I still live in a yurt with the tribe, and I don't have such good treatment."
"Wow, wow, wow~ I miss my mom a little bit.
She shivered with cold every winter. If she had Dajing's bed, she would not freeze to death in winter. ”
Baturu was sleeping on the big kang, feeling very complicated. The warmth of the kang bed made him feel warm and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Late at night, smoke rose from the chimneys in Zhiyi City, and the people went to bed and fell asleep.
Lu Chen made the bed for Xiao Jingzhou and couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect that every household could build a kang. It's really great."
Xiao Jingzhou raised the corner of his mouth: "If this big kang can be promoted in the north.
From now on, not so many people will freeze to death in the winter in the north. ”
Xiao Jingzhou lifted the quilt and lay on the warm kang.
He thought to himself: It’s time to put recruiting soldiers on the agenda!
