In the summer, we wanted to build a kang at home, but Chai Fugui went out to look for two days but couldn't find anyone who knew how to do it.
It was a steward brought by the wife of Censor Li who helped.
Xia Tian told him about this, so he knew.

"What's so difficult about this? You can find some bricklayers, or just notify each village to send one or two people over to learn.

After they learn how to make kangs for the people in their own village, they can just ask other families to give them a little bit of hard work fee.”
Shen Nian nodded, it was a good idea. Not only would it be quick, but he wouldn't have to send people to every household to prepare the kang, saving time and effort.

Xia Tian saw Shen Nian's serious look and really thought of her as a military advisor, so she wanted to tease him.
He cleared his throat and said seriously, "Also, tell your government to remember to pay me the technical guidance fee tomorrow!"
