Chapter 178 Mahjong

Li Shimin issued an edict, and the whole world caused a burst of heat.

This cheap and practical thing is naturally popular among the people. Almost every household has a kang to prepare for the upcoming winter.

There are also many people who are attracted by the business opportunities.

For example, Fangjiazhuang, after completing the renovation of his own village, he got Fang Yiai's tips and formed several engineering teams to take over the work of the kang in the city.

In order to build stoves and heating, Chang'an is all from Zhuangshang'an, except for the projects contracted by the Ministry of Industry.

He made a small fortune.

The Fangjiazhuang project has almost stopped. As the autumn continues to deepen, the land gradually begins to freeze and is no longer suitable for groundbreaking.

Late autumn season.

The first snow fell in Guanzhong area.

However, with Fang Yiai’s winter suit, it will be a little better this year, and it seems that it is not as cold as before.

The situation reported from various places also made the court happy. There were fewer people who were frozen to death. This was a great achievement. Maybe it was a great mark in history.

As the initiator of this matter, Fang Yiai, like the one who has nothing to do, stays in the village all day long.

Don't ask.

Ask, the leave I asked has not yet passed.

Anyway, it is still in the official surveying and mapping stage, and the team has been sent out and everything is going steadily.

In the Ministry of Works, two apprentices were arranged to take charge, and he was only responsible for the overall situation. With the little fat Li Tai, there were few things that could not be solved, and generally there would be no trouble for him.

You will know with an example.

Other yamen went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to ask for money, but it was considered light to wear out the mouth. I don’t know how many trips to go back and forth.

The little fat man will make this easier. As long as there is money in the treasury and it is legitimately useful, it will generally not make things difficult for him and will be solved almost at once.

It is much more effective than Fang Yiai going there in person.

Of course, Fang Yiai also considered them. Both of them were in the city, so they had the opportunity to accompany their family more.

...

Fangjiazhuang.

I have a good personality and naturally won’t use it too much.

Heating has been installed in the house and a boiler room has been built. Special people are taking care of the boiler to ensure that the heating in the house will not be interrupted.

Chang'an Mansion has also been renovated.

For this reason, he directly pulled several trucks of coal to keep warm this winter.

When he mentioned this, he secretly regretted...

After giving Li Shimin a drawing, he originally wanted to buy a few more coal mines and wait to count the money later.

When bragging in the future, he can also pat his chest and say, "I have a mine at home!"

In the past, due to tobacco poison, coal could not be sold at all, so it was basically free to give it away. This year, the heating and coal stoves were released, and they could make a lot of money.

But he is not a stranger, and he is too lazy to be very lazy, so he takes one step at a time.

Often, it was unexpected that Li Shimin took the lead.

As soon as he left Fang Mansion, he sent people to buy coal mines. Most of the mines were controlled by the court. Fang Yiai only snatched two or three seats and followed him to drink some soup.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that Li Shimin's eyes are still an ordinary person and did not erase him as an alien.

However, the emperor Lao Li is not bad. The coal on the market is very cheap, and it is all affordable for ordinary families, so he feels balanced.

Even so, the court and the palace can make a lot of money this year, and the treasury can be much richer.

Fang Yiai was thinking: "How do you spend the money in the treasury?... In this case, whether it is a shipbuilding matter can be put on the agenda."

"My corn and potatoes!"

"I just don't know if corn that has not been bred can achieve the yield of later generations, but... it should be higher than wheat, right?"

Crazy...

It was snowing outside the house, but there were two worlds inside the house, steaming hot. Fang Yiai, Susan and the others were all wearing single clothes.

The four of them sat on all sides of the square table, rubbing the mahjong on the table, making a rustling sound.

It was cold outside, and Fang Yiai was too lazy to go out. When he was free, he began to think about the game, and then he thought of mahjong.

Mahjong is simple to make and handed over to the carpenter in the village. It will be done in less than a few days.

The wood is made of good and smoothly polished, without a single thorn, so it is not afraid of prickling hands, and it is also very comfortable to touch.

Mahjong does have a unique charm. Once it was released, it was loved by Qiaoer and others. When it was free in the cold weather, it was so cold that it was played with Fang Yiai all day long.

Next to it is a stove and a copper pot is placed on it.

Charcoal burned in the stove, and the water in the pot was always on, and white steam came out from the mouth of the pot.

Each person had a cup of hot tea next to his hand, so he could get it casually. After playing cards, he drank a sip of hot tea. The tea leaves were also changed from Longjing, West Lake to Dahongpao, and the fermentation method was also explored.

At this moment, the little fat Li Tai ran back.

Under the eaves outside the door, the fat man stomped his feet and removed the snowflakes from his shoes, patted his shoulders and the top of his head, then put his hands in front and breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Tai came and went freely in Fang Mansion, so he naturally didn't need to inform him. However, after Fang Yiai got married, he would take a little care.

"Master!"

The little fat man shouted and walked into the house.

After seeing Fang Yiai, the little fat man pursed his lips, his eyes gradually began to turn red, tears rolled in his eyes, and it was about to fall.

"The green bird is here, it's very cold outside, come and roast the fire."

Fang Yiai was concentrating on playing cards, and did not look back at him. He just treated him verbally, and they didn't need to be polite, otherwise they would appear to be alienated.

However, after waiting for a long time without any movement, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. At this time, Susan, who was sitting opposite, gave him a wink and signaled him to look behind him.

Fang Yiai looked back and saw that Li Tai was in a bad mood. He quickly got up and pulled Li Tai to sit down in front of the stove.

"You know that you miss your master, but you also miss you. As long as you work well in the Ministry of Works, you will be the best reward for your master."

However, no matter how much he comforted him, Li Tai's tears would not fade.

"Is it hard for the Ministry of Works? Haven't all the yamen installed heating?"

Fang Yiai said in confusion that as Li Tai's identity, he might not be wronged, so he could only think about it elsewhere.

Then I thought that as a construction unit, the Ministry of Works, except for the Tai Chi Hall, inside and outside the palace, was the first to install, it shouldn't be like this...

Hearing him say this, Li Tai finally spoke, "Disciple is working hard, but you are here... I'm so worried about your body, so I come to visit you in the snow."

"Well!"

Fang Yiai was speechless for a while, but unexpectedly, Li Tai became unbalanced in his mentality. He smiled awkwardly and said, "It's a combination of work and rest, and it's not good for his health."

"I don't want to go to Dianmao, and political affairs are not interesting at all. It's better to study in the village." Li Tai said aggrievedly.

Fang Yiai raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect him to have this idea and smiled: "You can come back rarely. Let's have a hot pot today, and give it a good reward..."
