After Xie Yushu finished speaking, she saw Han Zhongyu looking at her with an inquiring expression, thinking that he didn't fully understand, and continued:
“As for how much snow there is?
The north wind blows and the white grass breaks on the ground, and the sky is full of snow in August.
Suddenly a spring breeze comes overnight, and thousands of pear trees bloom.
It spreads through the bead curtain and wet the Luo curtain, The fox fur is not warm and the brocade quilt is thin.
The general's horns and bows cannot be controlled, and the guards' iron coats are cold and uncomfortable.
This is probably what it looks like!
Even the fox fur felt warm even under it, and the brocade quilt was too thin, so I had to put two layers on it! "
Han Zhongyu looked at her in shock,
"You seem to have not finished reading this poem. What's next?"
Seeing him looking at him eagerly like a curious baby, Xie Yushu had no choice but to continue reading.
"The vast sea is covered with hundreds of feet of ice, and the gloomy clouds are thousands of miles away.
The Chinese army prepares wine and drinks for the returning guests, playing fiddles, lutes, and flutes.
Dusk snow falls on the camp gate one after another, and the red flag flutters in the wind but remains frozen.
I saw you off at the east gate of Luntai. When you left, the road to Tianshan Mountain was covered with snow.
You can't be seen on the winding mountain road, leaving a place for horses to walk in the sky above the snow.
Finished reading.
It’s just such heavy snow! It’s just so cold. Although it’s not the far north and it’s a little warmer than the poem I read, it’s not much warmer!
The key is that the vast majority of people live in thatched houses and cannot withstand strong winds and snow! "
Han Zhongyu nodded in agreement, and then continued to ask if you hadn't finished reading the previous song, so you continued.
Xie Yushu was speechless, I just want to popularize the weather knowledge in Northland to you, and you are addicted to listening to poems!
But looking at his eager and eager look, I thought since you are so eager to learn, I will give you a small demonstration to let you feel the style of the Poet Saint!
Xie Yushu, who was so excited, stood up and patted her clothes. She put one hand behind her back and smoothed her non-existent beard with the other. She looked like an old scholar, pondered for a moment, and shook her head in disbelief.
"In August, the autumn wind roared and rolled up the three-layered thatch on my house. The thatch flew across the river and sprinkled the river suburbs. The taller ones hung on the treetops, while the lower ones floated around the sinking pond.
A group of children in the south village deceived me because I was old and weak, and I was a thief who could not stand it. He carried the grass into the bamboos, his lips were burnt and his mouth was dry and he couldn't breathe. When he came back, he leaned on his staff and sighed.
The wind in Russia makes the clouds dark, and the autumn desert turns dark. The quilt has been as cold as iron for many years, and the delicate child is lying on it and is cracked inside. There is no drying place for the leakage at the bedside, and the rain is like hemp on the feet and has not been stopped. Since my period is disordered and I don’t sleep much, how can I get wet all night long?
There are tens of millions of mansions in Ande, which can shelter all the poor people in the world with joy! Unmoved by wind and rain, it is as peaceful as a mountain. Alas! When I suddenly see this house in front of my eyes, my house alone will be broken down and frozen to death! "
Xie Yushu finished reciting the poem in a pretentious manner and glanced sideways at Han Zhongyu.
This guy was really shocked, mumbling
"There are tens of thousands of mansions in Anhui, which can shelter all the poor people in the world with joy! It is as safe as a mountain that cannot be affected by wind and rain. Woohoo! When I suddenly see this house in front of my eyes, it will be enough for my house to be broken down and freeze to death!"
What a broad mind this is!
Who wrote this poem? Such a talented person who cares about the country and the people has to live in a thatched hut. It is a great loss to the imperial court!
Can you make a recommendation for me? I will definitely recommend him to the court as an official! "
Han Zhongyu looked eager, wishing he could see this person right away and have a long chat with him!
Xie Yushu rolled her eyes secretly, I still want to see the Poet! The difference is thousands of years! See you there!
But I wanted to think about it in my heart, but I couldn't say it like that, so I said with a little regret
"I have only read his poems by chance, but have never met his person. The person who wrote this poem has a surname of Du, Pu and Zimei, and calls himself Shaoling Ye Lao. As for where he is from and whether he is still alive today, that's all. I don’t know, after all, when he wrote this poem, he was so old that he couldn’t even keep up with the children!”
Han Zhongyu frowned and muttered unwillingly
"Shaoling Ye Lao? Shaoling? Never heard of this place? Could it be some small village? I'll go back and find someone to find out. Such a great talent ended up in such a difficult situation! It's such a pity!
Are you reading a collection of poems? Is it still available now? "
"No more! I saw it accidentally when my grandpa and I were practicing medicine. After seeing it, he left. The man was also very poor. I don't know where he went after that!"
Xie Yushu didn't want to continue this topic and asked instead
“Aren’t we talking about the problem of people suffering from the cold when it’s cold?
What I want to say is that I know a way to build a house. It is stronger than thatched houses and cheaper than brick houses. It doesn’t cost a few dollars and everyone should be able to build it. But no one has promoted it, so it has not spread. If If you have the ability, you might as well send people to build a few houses like this in various villages and towns, and let everyone follow suit!
Xie Yushu didn't mention the matter of building an earthen kiln and burning tiles by herself. After all, it cost several taels of silver to build an earthen kiln, and not everyone could afford it. So she directly talked about the old bungalow in her memory of the 1990s.
Han Zhongyu just said it casually before and had no intention of expecting Xie Yushu to give any useful advice, so he concentrated on thinking about which friend had traveled more places and asked if there was a place like Shaoling. Suddenly, he heard that Xie Yushu had such a place. A good way to solve people's livelihood problems. I immediately became energetic. I didn't care about finding people anymore and immediately asked.
"Did you know this by chance? What kind of house? Is it really so cheap and sturdy?"
"Yes, I heard it mentioned by an uncle when I was practicing medicine with my grandfather. My grandfather also discussed it with the uncle. They all thought it was feasible and planned to build a hospital after the busy farming season and give it a try. However, something happened and the trial failed! "
Xie Yushu pulled out her almighty grandpa to take the blame without changing her expression!
Han Zhongyu was very happy to invite Xie Yushu to talk to him in detail.
Xie Yushu recalled the houses in the northern rural areas in the 1990s, which were old-fashioned bungalows that transitioned from adobe houses to cement concrete houses. The body of the house could be made of stone or brick. If you really didn’t have money, you could also use adobe. The key is to install it on the roof. .
The roof of an old bungalow does not need to be made into a herringbone shape. It only needs to be slightly higher in the middle than the front and back to facilitate drainage. It can be completely capped with wooden boards, straw mats, sand and loess, and then compacted. It is cheaper than tiles and stronger than thatch. , basically not damaged by strong winds and snow!
It won't need to be renovated for at least ten to eight years, and it has better thermal insulation than thatched houses.
Xie Yushu thought about it and told Han Zhongyu the general steps. Han Zhongyu picked up a pen and recorded them one by one. After Xie Yushu finished speaking, he immediately called someone to find a master who was good at construction to see how a house built based on this would look like!
With the important matter on his mind coming to light, Han Zhongyu looked bright and asked what Xie Yushu's plans were. If he wanted to open a medical clinic or something and needed his help, just say so!
Xie Yushu thought to herself: Finally asked me, she said unceremoniously
"I want to buy a piece of land in Tai'an Prefecture at the junction of Jinyang and Chuzhou. Ten to twenty acres will do. The land does not have to be very good. It is best to be connected to the mountains."
"If you don't want good land, what will you use it for?"
"Build a mountain villa!"
"Building a villa? It's not just money to buy the land, but also a lot of investment in the later period? And your family is in Yonghe County, but you came to Tai'an Prefecture to build a villa. Do you agree with the saying that it's hard to leave your homeland?"
