Unexpectedly, after all this time, Zhu Di was still so persistently verbose. Guo An decided to make Zhu Di shut up completely first.
Therefore, he lowered his head and walked around on the ground. When he found a few small green seedlings, he looked happy and said leisurely.
"Your Highness, I wonder if we can grow vegetables in winter. Anyway, Weichen has already grown vegetables in autumn!"
However, after Zhu Di asked Guo An what to say, he did not prepare for Guo An to reply to him. Instead, he looked around and looked around.
"Standing in the greenhouse, it feels like standing directly under the sun, and you can't feel any cold wind. We are more and more confident that you can grow vegetables in the cold winter."
"Guo Qing, if these glasses were installed in our palace, how bright would it be?"
"Guo Qing...huh?..."
After walking a certain distance, Zhu Di finally felt something was wrong. When he looked down, he found Guo An lying on the ground with his butt sticking out, staring and not knowing what he was looking at.
"Guo Qing, what are you looking for?"
"Your Highness, Wei Chen is looking for a treasure!"
Guo An replied.
"baby?"
Zhu Di walked over curiously, "Besides soil, what treasures are there on these ridges?..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Di opened his eyes wide and stared at the field in front of Guo An, somewhat in disbelief.
Immediately, with a look of ecstasy on his face, he squatted down like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.
"Is this a vegetable seedling?"
Looking at the hair-thin green buds on the field ridges, Zhu Di was so excited that his whole body trembled.
"Exactly!"
Guo An nodded slowly, "The rapeseeds on this field ridge are the first batch to be buried in the soil. According to time, it has been more than ten days now, and it is normal for the sprouts to sprout.
Now, all we have to consider is maintaining the temperature of the greenhouse so that these young seedlings will not freeze to death. "
"Yes!"
Zhu Di raised his head directly and shouted towards Zhu Liang.
"Your Highness?" Zhu Liang ran over quickly.
Zhu Di asked: "How many iron stoves have been transported to the farm now?"
Zhu Liang quickly replied: "Your Highness, there are now thirty iron stoves in the farm."
"Very good."
Zhu Di's face lit up, "Quickly move all those iron stoves to the greenhouse for us, and prepare two loads of charcoal for us in front of each stove. In addition, send people to the iron smelting plant and send at least seventy charcoal to the farm." An iron stove."
"Follow the order!"
Zhu Liang didn't ask why, he took a few guards directly, went out to greet a group of guards, and began to carry the iron stove into the greenhouse one by one.
"Your Highness, are you going to burn the stove for the greenhouse?"
At this time, Ding Shang and other old soldiers who heard the commotion also walked in with curiosity on their faces.
"Ding Shang, look here, the vegetable seedlings have sprouted from the ridges!"
Zhu Di pointed out the young seedlings on the ridge under his feet to Ding Shang with excitement on his face.
"It's really a little sprout!"
Ding Shang knelt down directly on the ground, poked his butt and took a look, then recognized him, his face full of excitement.
"Brothers, go and check how many vegetable seedlings have sprouted in total?"
On the side, several old soldiers also quickly started to look around.
Soon, there were sounds of joy.
"Your Highness, there are vegetable seedlings sprouting here too!"
"It's available here too."
"It's the same here..."
"In this greenhouse alone, less than half of the sprouts have sprouted?"
“Place an iron stove in every greenhouse first!”
In an instant, Ding Shang and the other veterans began to move spontaneously.
Zhu Di said with some worry: "Ding Shang, the temperature is getting colder and colder now. You must keep an eye on these vegetable seedlings and never let them freeze!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have arranged for brothers to take turns keeping vigil in the past few days, and the stoves will be lit at night!" Ding Shang quickly assured.
"Very good!"
Zhu Di nodded slowly.
On the side, Guo An suddenly asked: "Old General Ding, while you need to raise chickens, hogs, sheep and cattle, you also have to look after the greenhouse at night. I wonder if there are enough manpower. Can you come over?"
Zhu Di was also stunned, and then looked at Ding Shang with a solemn face.
Ding Shang's eyes widened and he said hurriedly: "Your Highness, please rest assured. It's just a hundred acres of vegetables. I can take care of them with you."
"That's good!" Zhu Di nodded again.
Seeing this, Guo An didn't say much. He wanted to find some helpers for these stubborn old men, but these stubborn old men were unwilling, which would only make them tired.
In the following time, Zhu Di became more and more concerned about the greenhouse day by day.
Fortunately, with Guo An's warning in advance, no one said anything about everything in the greenhouse.
As for Zhu Di, no one said anything.
at the same time.
At Zhu Di's urging, Guo An also led several craftsmen and began to replace the glass windows in the palace.
A group of craftsmen from Prince Yan's Palace carried eight pieces of glass, and in broad daylight, they dug out holes the size of eight pieces of glass around the Cunxin Hall.
Such a big movement aroused the curiosity of all the officials in the Yan Palace.
Everyone was shocked when they saw that it was Guo An and the craftsmen who were demolishing the walls around the hall.
Zhu Fu quickly stepped forward to stop him and asked, "Guo Changshi, stop it quickly. What are you doing?"
"Dig holes in the walls of the hall!"
Guo An looked at Zhu Fu with a matter-of-fact expression, as if he didn't even realize that in the eyes of the officials, his behavior was already committing rebellion and deceiving the emperor!
"Don't stop, hurry up and take it out, His Highness will be here soon!"
Seeing Guo An being so bold, Zhu Fu was so angry that his forehead pounded.
"Guo Changshi, this is the Cunxin Palace, no one is allowed to mess around!"
Guo An smiled slowly, "Zhu Changshi, don't worry, His Highness asked me to bring these craftsmen to this matter!"
"What?"
Zhu Fu was stunned and looked aside to see the large holes that had been dug out around the hall. Then he looked up at Guo An, wondering why His Highness would let Guo thieves demolish his hall?
"How could Your Highness allow you to act so recklessly?"
Guo An ignored it, but smiled slightly, "Zhu Changshi soon understood why His Highness allowed me to do such nonsense!"
"I would like to take a closer look!"
Zhu Fu felt angry and stood aside, watching Guo An and the craftsmen who were working hard.
After a while.
Xu Yun walked over with a head full of sawdust, raised his hands to Guo An and said, "Guo Changshi, all eight window openings have been dug out."
"Very good!"
Guo An nodded and ordered: "In that case, you will seize the time to install the glass."
"Yes, Guo Changshi!"
Xu Yun responded quickly and led a group of craftsmen to start installing glass piece by piece.
"Glass?"
Zhu Fu on the side couldn't help frowning when he heard this. Install glass on the hall?
Just when he was about to stop him, Guo An looked at Zhu Liang who was standing aside.
"Zhu Baihu, why has it taken so long and His Highness hasn't come yet? The Cunxin Hall will be installed with glass soon. Do you want to continue to install glass in the following halls? Please Zhu Baihu go and ask His Highness for instructions!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
"I am here to meet you, Your Highness!"
At this time, Zhu Di happened to walk over from the side, nodded slightly to the officials who came forward to say hello, and then walked up to Guo An and asked.
"Guo Qing, has the glass been installed?"
Guo An replied: "Your Highness, dress in casual clothes immediately!"
Zhu Di looked up and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Guo An responded quickly.
At this time, Zhu Di had already walked in first.
Guo An, Zhu Fu and others quickly followed.
"Um?"
As soon as they entered the hall, Zhu Di, Zhu Fu and others noticed a difference.
"It's so bright?"
"Your Highness, is this all the result of these glasses?"
Zhu Fu's mouth widened in shock. He quickly ran to the nearest glass window and looked out, regardless of whether it was inappropriate or not.
The guards and craftsmen outside can see clearly.
At this time, Zhu Fu finally discovered the difference in glass.
"Your Highness, these glasses are so transparent?"
"Of course, in order to calcine such transparent glass, the craftsmen spent more than three months in front of the forging iron furnace before calcining such transparent glass." Zhu Di said proudly.
He rarely saw Zhu Fu showing such a shocking expression.
"Wonderful, very wonderful. It is wonderful to use this kind of transparent glass instead of window paper. It is not only bright, but also warm."
Zhu Fu said with shock again.
"May I ask, Your Highness, is the cost of calcining this kind of glass expensive?"
"Of course it's expensive!" Zhu Di nodded.
"expensive?"
Zhu Fu frowned again.
Guo An asked slowly: "Zhu Changshi also wants to install this kind of glass in his house?"
"Guo Changshi's guess is correct."
Zhu Fu was not embarrassed and nodded directly.
"That's it, a piece of glass costs a hundred cents." Guo An said.
"One hundred coins?"
Hearing this, Zhu Fu's heart that had just sunk became active again, and he looked at Zhu Di expectantly.
"Your Highness, I wonder if Weichen can also buy a few pieces of glass to install on Weichen's house?"
Zhu Di looked proud, "What are you talking about? Zhu Qing is our long history, it's just a few pieces of glass, we will reward you directly!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Zhu Fu quickly expressed his gratitude.
At this moment, all the officials on the side also came to their senses, and Zhu Di looked expectant.
"Your Highness, I also want to buy glass!"
"Your Highness, Wei Chen's home is extremely dark and he wants to buy glass..."
"Okay, okay, each person will receive six pieces of glass!" Zhu Di said.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
All the officials were overjoyed.
Soon, in just two days, Prince Yan's Mansion began to change drastically.
The window paper on the windows of all palaces and houses was replaced with clear and transparent glass.
Everyone in Prince Yan's Mansion felt that Prince Yan's Mansion suddenly became brighter.
nature.
This change in Prince Yan's Mansion has also spread to the ears of all the forces in Beiping Mansion.
…
In the bright Cunxin Hall, Zhu Di was discussing wool and cotton with Guo An, when Zhu Liang walked in from the outside with a hurried look.
"Your Highness, Duke Guo of Song, Duke Ying, and Marquis Yongchang are requesting an audience outside the palace."
"Dong Guo of Song and Duke Ying?"
Zhu Di's expression condensed, and he stood up quickly and asked, "Did you know that they came suddenly, but what happened?"
"Your Majesty, the general does not know."
Zhu Liang replied.
Zhu Di said: "Forget it, invite them in quickly, and then find Zhu Changshi."
"Follow the order!"
Zhu Liang responded and quickly retreated.
Soon, Zhu Fu hurried in.
"See Your Highness!"
"Zhu Qing, get up!" Zhu Di nodded slightly, still looking out of the hall.
Just when Zhu Fu was confused, a few dull footsteps came from outside the hall.
After a while, several veterans walked in from outside the hall.
After seeing it clearly, Zhu Fu's expression suddenly condensed.
"Veteran Feng Sheng meets His Highness King Yan!"
"Veteran Fu Youde meets His Highness the King of Yan!"
"Chen Lanyu meets His Highness King Yan..."
