The sun is shining brightly today.
Zhao Shuzheng moved an imperial chair and was basking in the sun in the courtyard. Little Changan had already left it to his parents.
When he first came here, he liked Xiao Changan very much, but after a few days, he started to have a headache.
Being a parent for the first time was ultimately unqualified, and with little Changan in his life, his parents began to criticize him.
Zhao Shu really didn't expect this. In the past, he was a complete treasure in the eyes of his parents.
Since having little Changan, everything has changed. In an instant, he was reduced to the lowest status in the family, which made Zhao Shu quite helpless.
"Sir, the stove is ready. The whole body is made of iron, and the smoke pipe is made of bronze. It has good sealing performance."
Gongshu Cheng walked in and reported to Zhao Shu, saying.
These days, he has been busy. After he and Xianglifu decided on the situation, Xianglifu set off with his people.
In the base, he was left in charge of this matter.
Looking at the polished stove, Zhao Shu's eyes flashed with surprise. The stove was exquisitely carved with simple black bird patterns.
"move in!"
Zhao Shu greeted the people in Gongshu City and walked into the study.
"Gongsu, according to the location, make an outlet and try to fit the pipe as much as possible."
"promise."
At this moment, Zhao Shu looked at the elder: "Go and prepare some wood and charcoal."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, the elder turned and left.
Although it is not clear what Zhao Shu wants to do, no one in the mansion will refuse Zhao Shu's order, especially the elders.
After a long time, Gongshu City finally finished the smoke outlet, and then everyone installed the stove. It was indeed made from the A-type base, the Gongshu family and Qin Mo.
The connections everywhere are perfectly connected.
"Sir, the charcoal and wood are here!"
At this time, the elder's voice came, alarming Zhao Shu and others.
At this moment, Zhao Shu turned on the stove, then picked up the charcoal fire on the side and put it into the stove, and then added the wood.
Immediately, the lid was closed!
For Zhao Shu, he wanted to test the sealing of the stove to see if there was any smoke leakage.
He knew that even in later generations, if this kind of stove was not properly taken care of in winter, some people would be poisoned by carbon monoxide.
Although the houses of this era are not as well-sealed as those of later generations, other people in this era may not have such awareness.
"boom!"
Because the charcoal fire is there and the wood is dry, after a while, the flame rises and burns all of a sudden.
Zhao Shu was observing carefully to see if there was any smoke leakage from the connection.
If not, after trying it and the effect is good, you can promote it.
These things will also be a source of income for the Beidou Chamber of Commerce, and once the coal is found and mined, it will also be a benefit for Daqin.
This effect is not only an economic benefit, but also has the effect of winning over people's hearts.
After closing the study door, Zhao Shu and others gathered around the stove, and then continued to add wood to it. Feeling that the temperature in the study was getting higher and higher, everyone couldn't help but feel a joyful look on their faces.
"Sir, this stove can definitely be promoted, but the iron smelting technology has not yet been popularized. Bronze stoves are expensive to build..."
Almost instantly, Gongshu Cheng understood Zhao Shu's thoughts, but when he agreed, he told the situation one by one.
"Um!"
"The current restrictions on the promotion of stoves are due to a breakthrough in iron smelting technology and cheap fuel!"
Zhao Shu added the charcoal, smiled, and said: "As long as the iron smelting technology is solved and cheap and flame-resistant fuel is found, the stove will have the value of promotion!"
"Compared to charcoal fires, stoves are undoubtedly safer!"
Having said this, Zhao Shu took a deep look at Gongshu City and said word by word: "The people of my country in Great Qin are very poor. If we want the whole country to be able to afford stoves, the cost needs to be reduced!"
"At this point, you need to be more careful!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Gongshu Cheng's eyes flashed with light, and he couldn't help but said to Zhao Shu, "Sir, it's not difficult to reduce the cost!"
"Now we have only made one, so the cost is naturally very high, but if we make it in batches, the cost will be spread out by then!"
“Naturally some of it will go down!”
"When iron smelting technology breaks through, it can even drop a bit!"
Zhao Shu also understands this statement about Gongshu City. Once the quantity increases, the cost will be evened out.
Feeling the temperature in the study, Zhao Shu moved toward Gongshu City and said, "Don't stop researching iron smelting technology!"
"Although our bronze manufacturing technology in Great Qin has reached its peak, there is one thing I want to explain, and that is that the Bronze Age is coming to an end!"
"In the future, the biggest role of bronze is to forge jewelry, not weapons!"
"The next thing will be the Iron Age!"
"Whoever masters iron smelting technology will get the dividends of the next era!"
........
At this moment, Gongshu Cheng's heart was shocked.
Although he had long known that Zhao Shu had keen insights into some things.
However, even now, he is still a little surprised.
After all, craftsmen like them understand that this kind of thing is normal. After all, after dealing with it for a long time, they will naturally have an almost intuitive feeling about these things.
However, Zhao Shu is different!
This man shows that he is a prophet and is born with knowledge!
"Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will take notice!"
.......
"Young master, there is news from the palace, asking the young master to enter the palace immediately!" The elder walked in and reported to Zhao Shu.
"Who's here?"
"My lord, this is the order of Zhao Mansion!"
"Um!"
Zhao Shu nodded and walked out of the mansion.
He knew in his heart that as long as Zhao Gao came, he would not need to prepare a separate car!
There is no need to waste that time on resources. The chariot in his house is far behind the chariot in the palace.
"Master!" Seeing Zhao Shu come out, Zhao Gao saluted respectfully.
"Zhao Fu Ling!"
Zhao Shu nodded towards Zhao Gao, chuckled, and said, "Thank you!"
"Young master is joking, this is my duty!" Zhao Gao chuckled, then invited Zhao Shu, saying: "Sir, please get in the car!"
"good!"
Zhao Shu boarded the chariot, then tested Zhao Gao, and said, "Mr. Zhao, what is the purpose of the king's summons this time?"
"Young Master, I don't want to hide anything from you. I really don't know!" Zhao Gao shook his head. He really didn't know.
After a pause, Zhao Gao said meaningfully to Zhao Shu: "However, this time the king not only summoned the young master, but also the prime minister and the chief minister."
…
Seeing Zhao Gao's silence, Zhao Shu stopped asking questions. He knew in his heart that a person like Zhao Gao would naturally finish what he had already said.
If you don't say it now, you really don't know.
