"All right!"
Li Shimin immediately put down the memorial and followed Sizi to the courtyard by the reservoir.
Comparatively speaking, this courtyard is much more pleasing to the eye.
Although it remains simple, with the entire courtyard unpainted, it is still a three-courtyard house with several times more rooms than the original small courtyard, enough for the group to live in.
"good!"
"This place is nestled against the mountains and beside the water; it's a perfect spot to build a villa!"
"It's just that the ceiling height of the house isn't good; it's not as bright and spacious as the Ganlu Palace..."
While Li Shimin was being picky, Sizi happily wandered around the various rooms.
"Dad, I love it here!"
"oh?"
"Father, don't let the simplicity of this courtyard fool you, it's warm inside, and there's no sign of cooking!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin entered the house and felt a wave of heat wash over him. Compared to the cold winter outside, the room was as warm as spring.
To his surprise, there was a row of flowers in full bloom in the living room.
Such a magnificent scene cannot be seen even in his Taiji Palace, let alone in a farmhouse courtyard in the dead of winter.
"Did he install an underfloor heating system in this house?"
"It doesn't seem like it. If it were an earth dragon, I should be able to smell its scent..."
Just as Li Shimin was searching for the Earth Dragon Fire Path, he happened to see Hu Delu strolling by.
"May you be well, my esteemed friend!"
"I hope you are well, Mr. Hu!"
"Is Your Excellency planning to help our Lord move?"
"ah?"
"yes!"
"By the way, Brother Hu, why is this courtyard so warm, yet it doesn't feel like it's filled with the warmth of human presence?"
"Oh, oh, that's because our lord installed plumbing in this house!"
What is water heating?
"Plumbing is... how should I explain it to you? Let me take you to see it..."
Hu Delu led Old Li to the boiler room, pointing to the boiler and explaining each of the iron pipes one by one.
"This is the water heating system invented by our lord. The big iron bucket on top is where you add water, and the big iron furnace burning brightly below is the boiler!"
"As for those iron pipes, they run directly into all the rooms, providing heating to each room!"
When Li Shimin saw the huge boiler, he was shocked. This grandson is too extravagant!
Even in his own palace, he still used braziers!
"This thing must be quite expensive, right?"
"It's not expensive, is it?"
"Our lord said this thing didn't cost much!"
