"By the way, Uncle Fu! The workshop recently left 2,200 coal stoves, plus 220,000 pieces of briquettes. I can use them!"
In the workshop, Li Zexuan thought for a while and said to Uncle Fu.
He planned to give free two coal stoves and two hundred pieces of briquettes to all the farmers in his land. Since the farmers were unwilling to accept wages, he had no choice but to provide benefits to the farmers in this way.
Besides, it doesn’t add up to much money, and he donated 20,000 yuan to the Nuantang Foundation. It makes no sense to only take care of people outside and ignore his own family, right?
"The young master wants so many coal stoves and briquettes, is he planning to give them to farmers~?"
Uncle Fu thought for a moment and understood Li Zexuan's intention. And after spending so long with Li Zexuan, he has almost figured out Li Zexuan's temperament. He knows that Li Zexuan has always been very kind to his own people.
"Haha! That's right! We can't really let the bankers work in vain, right?"
Li Zexuan said with a smile.
Uncle Fu shook his head and couldn't deny it. Anyway, he felt that Li Zexuan had been kind enough to the farmers. Even if he really didn't pay wages, there was nothing wrong.
"Uncle Fu, can the daily iron-making speed, coal-making furnace speed and briquette-making speed of the workshop keep up with it~?"
Li Zexuan finally asked the question he was concerned about.
Uncle Fu nodded lightly and said: "We can definitely keep up! Now that the workshop has expanded its recruitment by nearly 5,000 civilians, there is no need to worry about the speed of making briquettes. The iron-making blast furnace is also making iron day and night, so now There is no shortage of iron here! As for the coal furnace, as long as there is no shortage of iron, the production speed of the workshop can completely keep up with the consumption speed of Qiquge!"
Now at night, the workshop is full of flames, because the iron-making blast furnace has to smelt iron day and night. In this era, there is no such thing as "light pollution", but the people of Plum Village like this scene very much. Think of it as a unique landmark of Plum Village.
"Well! If that's the case, then I'm relieved!"
Li Zexuan nodded.
Then he walked around the workshop again, and after seeing that everything was running in an orderly manner, he went home.
.............................
The next day, Thursday.
The final exam of Yanhuang Academy was held as scheduled amidst the continuous complaints from students.
At four quarters of the hour, the bells and drums rang, and the invigilators in all the examination rooms began to distribute the test papers in unison.
This exam, in terms of examination room arrangement and time arrangement, is similar to the arrangement of the last academy monthly exam. The only difference is that the invigilation is more strict!
You actually need to be searched before entering the examination room. Fortunately, there are only male students in the academy, otherwise there would be a lot of inconvenience during the search!
In addition, the inspection team from the last monthly exam has expanded this time, and Mo Zhong, Mo Yun and other academy guards have also joined.
If you ask these guards to teach, they will definitely not be able to do it, but when it comes to patrol examinations, they have no problem at all, and with their sharp eyesight, if they really want to invigilate the examination, they will be even better than the gentlemen from the academy!
As the number of people increases, people will naturally go to each examination room more frequently! Basically every half-quarter of an hour, an inspection team would pass by the door of an examination room. As a result, no students would dare to cheat in such a strict invigilation environment.
Li Zexuan did not stay at the academy this time. He came to the academy for a while and then went back. First of all, every teacher in the academy now performs his or her own duties. Even if he is not here, the academy can still run very well, and his role only needs to control the general direction of the academy's teaching; besides, his family has I have something to do for two days, so I have to go back!
Uncle Fu sent someone this morning to deliver the heating pipes and radiators that Li Zexuan had ordered previously. As for the heating boiler, it can be used by slightly modifying the boiler at home.
Although he was eager to experience heating, Li Zexuan still responsibly went to the academy to inspect, and then came back with a group of personal guards and servants to start installing heating in his home.
The main hall in the front yard, all the bedrooms in the house, including the bedrooms where the maids and servants sleep, and the two study rooms, all need to be installed with radiators.
Pang Feiji, Sanbao and others, under the command of Li Zexuan, began a vigorous heating renovation project in the mansion.
"Feiji, take five people to carry these eight radiators to the west courtyard. You can install the pipes outside according to the installation method in the front yard. Do you understand~?"
"clear!"
"Xiongda, Xiongji! You two brothers ask two more people to carry this boiler to the east courtyard, and install the pipes on the boiler for me! You must remember that the valve on the boiler must be opened. After a while I'll go check it out, and if it's not done well, run ten kilometers for me!"
"Yes! Mr. Hou!"
"Sambo, Ah Fu! You take a dozen people and take all the remaining pipes and radiators to Yunshan Courtyard. I'll be there in a moment!"
"Okay, Master!"
Since he had told everyone how to install the heating in advance and explained related terms to them, although Li Zexuan's modern words such as "radiator", "heating pipe" and "valve" were a bit unfamiliar to Pang Feiji and others, But I can still understand it.
Under his command, as noon approached, more than forty rooms in the Li Mansion that needed to be heated had all been installed with radiators, and the heating pipes had been preliminarily installed and were waiting for trial operation.
Father Li and Mrs. Li. There were also three members of the Ye family who were watching in shock, unable to say anything because they had never seen this thing before! I can only watch helplessly from the sidelines as people are busy working under the command of Li Zexuan!
"Xuan'er, with just these, can your home be as warm as spring~?"
Seeing that Li Zexuan was almost done with his work, Li Jingmo came over and finally asked the question he had been holding in his heart all morning.
The other people in the family also looked over, obviously they didn't believe that Li Zexuan blew up the radiator so magically!
"Hey! Dad! You really need to open the boiler to burn this thing. Let alone make it as warm as spring, it won't be a problem to make the house as hot as summer!"
Li Zexuan chuckled.
Many things that were impossible in the eyes of the ancients were so natural to modern people like him.
"Go! You're bragging again! If you try it later and it doesn't work, I'll see where you can put your face!"
When Li Jingmo heard that his son was getting more and more ridiculous as he talked, he couldn't help feeling angry.
"Haha! It's useless to talk more. Dad, you'll have to wait and see if your son is bragging!"
