I have long taken into account the climate problem of Jingshi, and when the immortal residence was first built, Yang Chendong found craftsmen to install a large number of furnace walls in the mezzanine, and when the weather was cold, the coal was burned, and the heat naturally radiated.

The fairy dwelling was as warm as spring, and it was quickly noticed by the guests who came here, and it was only after asking that they found out that it was the cause of the furnace wall. In other words, this invisible heating method is not known to be much better than putting a charcoal brazier at home.

At the moment, many people asked if they could spend money to invite the craftsmen of the Immortal Residence to go to their house to make the furnace wall. This was originally a money-making business prepared by Yang Chendong, and the service staff politely agreed to it. However, due to the limited number of craftsmen and the limited number of raw materials, not only is the cost of installation extremely high, but there is also a need to wait in line.

But in order to make the home as warm as spring, there are still many people who have paid the money first and waited in line. This matter was naturally quickly specialized, and directly attracted the visit of Shi Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to Yangjiazhuang.

The potatoes have already been harvested, and the seeds have been distributed, and now Yangjiazhuang can't see the fans of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

But even so, no one will come here to cause trouble, because all kinds of signs show that the relationship between this Yang Xima and Wang Zhen's father-in-law is very good, and the two sides will meet from time to time, and they will talk for an hour or two.

With Wang Zhen's big banner, who is stupid to take the initiative to find trouble with Yang Chendong.

Although Shi Pu is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the second grade of the imperial court, he is still not enough in front of Wang Zhen, he will not intentionally offend others, and even this Shi Shangshu still took Wang Zhen's relationship to achieve his current position. Naturally, he had to be polite to Yang Chendong, and if there was something he couldn't just give an order like treating other officials, he still decided to come in person.

Yang Chendong still attaches great importance to Shi Pu's arrival. I think that my father Yang Rong once served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the relationship between everyone is still very close.

As soon as Shi Pu arrived, as soon as he entered the main hall of Yangjiazhuang, the heat was coming, but he couldn't see a charcoal brazier burning, and he knew that there must be a furnace wall here, so he couldn't help but say with envy, "Virtuous nephew, you are very much like the land of the gods here, and the way of life is really comfortable!" Hahaha. ”

"Uncle Shi praised it falsely, thanks to the emperor's strong governance of the country, the world is peaceful, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment." Yang Chendong hugged his fists in the direction of Jingshi, with a serious expression.

"Yes, the emperor is still diligent in government." Shi Pu snorted a haha. The current Ming Dynasty seems to be quite strong, but that is just the capital left by Renxuan's rule, and the eunuchs are reused here in Zhu Qizhen, and these ministers of the court and the representatives of Confucianism are no longer as strong as they used to be.

It's just that Shi Pu won't talk to Yang Chendong about these words, a character of a small character, and he can't be taught more deeply.

Listening to Shi Pu's words, Yang Chendong smiled and said nothing, "Uncle Shi, you didn't come here today to chat with the kid, right?" ”

"Haha, of course not. I don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, this time I came for the matter of the furnace wall. You see, such good things should be shared by everyone. Haha smiled, with an expression of serving the country and the public.

"This..."As soon as he got down to business, Yang Chendong became embarrassed.

"What, what's the difficulty of the virtuous nephew?" Looking at Yang Chendong's hesitant appearance, Shi Pu felt that things were not as simple as he imagined.

"Yes." Yang Chendong finally nodded affirmatively, and then explained, "Don't hide it from Uncle Shi, when I first made this furnace wall, it was just an idea, and then I invested a lot of manpower and material resources to understand the principle, and for this matter, Wang Gonggong also invested a lot of silver, and now there are his shares here, if you take it out for no reason, I'm afraid that if I agree, someone will not agree." ”

raised Wang Zhen's big brand, and what he played was to suppress people with power.

Looking at Shi Pu's appearance, it is clear that he wants Yang Chendong to contribute the method of building the furnace wall for free, which is unacceptable to Yang Chendong

In the society at that time, there was no such thing as property rights. Especially for craftsmen, no matter how hard they work and how much they invest, once they get something good, it will be promoted for free, and the maker himself has no benefit at all. Because in everyone's opinion, what you make is to contribute, that is, to contribute, why do you need benefits?

The whole world is not the king's land, and all good things should be the emperor's, not a means of personal profit.

This may seem like a way to benefit more people, but it's actually extremely unfair to the creators. The things he spent money, time, and ingenuity to make were used lightly by others, and his input and output were not proportional to their output at all, and in the long run, who would spend that thing to do anything to create.

If you don't create, you have the same money, and so does creation, and this unfair treatment makes everyone's creativity gradually lose and grind out.

Now Shi Pu came to ask for this craft like an ordinary craftsman's general attitude, you were born in Daming, live in Daming, and the new things you make should also belong to Daming, so you can take them all.

I oppose this kind of work mode in my heart, but I can't say it, why are others like this, but you are special? Therefore, Yang Chendong had no choice but to bring out the big brand of Wang Zhen to suppress people.

A while ago, Yu Qian, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, and Shenyou, the imperial historian of Sichuan Dao, suddenly evaporated from the world, and disappeared without a trace.

As soon as this incident came out, everyone's suspicions were pointed at Wang Zhen. Because these two people have had all kinds of estrangements with Wang Gonggong, and now they have both disappeared, and things are done so neatly, does anyone else except Wang Zhen have such skills?

It's just that there is no evidence, and everyone has no way to take Wang Zhen, so they can only secretly guard against it in their hearts. Now that the big brand has been taken out, even Shi Pu's face is very ugly after hearing it.

Before he came, he thought that Yang Chendong might not be so happy to hand over his skills, but it doesn't matter, he just needs to move with affection and reason, how can you say that you are also a five-grade official of the imperial court, this awareness should be there, right?

But now that Wang Zhen's name came out, Shi Pu lost his temper in an instant.

"That's... So, is there no way to do it except buy it? Shi Pu knew that the method of forcing him would not work, so he tried to ask.

"Well, supposedly, no." Yang Chendong shook his head. But just when Shi Pu looked depressed after hearing this, he said again: "It's just that even if Uncle Shi comes to the door in person, the face will still be sold to you." Well, how about you Ministry of Industry produce copper, and you can use this in exchange for me sending someone to make the fireplace? ”

Most of the fireplaces on the market today are made of copper and iron, and some of the parts are still very delicate, such as screw buckles, which are far from being able to be made by the current Ministry of Industry. If you go to paint the scoop according to the gourd, it is likely that there will be various problems because the quality of the product is not up to standard, and once a fire is formed, the problem will be big.

It is precisely because of the uniqueness of this technology that the installation cost is extremely high, so high that ordinary ministers are a little unacceptable. As a result, many ministers went to Shi Pu and said that he was in charge of the Ministry of Works, so this matter was within his scope of management, and how to install a furnace wall in everyone's home as soon as possible should have been his business.

At the end of the day, these ministers just don't want to spend so much money to enjoy the benefits of the hearth. Now Yang Chendong has given a compromise method, the technology cannot be taught, but fortunately, it can be exchanged for copper, so that with so much copper and iron in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry, the problem of the ministers placing the furnace wall can be solved, and it can be regarded as solving Shi Pu's urgent need.

"Okay, okay, then thank you nephew." Knowing that this was Yang Chendong giving himself face, Shi Pu said in a loud voice at the moment, as if he was afraid that people would regret it.

Then the two discussed the amount of copper, and how much could be exchanged for a furnace wall. During this period, Yang Chendong naturally wanted the lion to open his mouth, although Shi Pu felt a little high about this, but thinking that those things were useless in the warehouse for the time being, it was better to change the benefits first, if it was missing, it would be collected in the whole country in the future, so he agreed.

Shi Pu finally left Yangjiazhuang with a satisfied face. After he left, when Qiaoyin came to clean up the tea, he asked Yang Chendong with curiosity and incomprehension, "Young Master?" Even if Wang Zhen's big brand was raised, why did he agree to exchange copper? In this way, don't we make a lot less money? ”

"Haha, our Yin'er also knows how to use their brains to think about problems." Yang Chendong said with a big smile on his face.

"Young Master? Yin'er has always used her brain, but she is not as smart as you, so she can't see it. Qiaoyin said a little coquettishly. Since the relationship between the two has become substantial, she has become more and more of a little woman in front of Yang Chendong. "By the way, young master, why haven't you said why?"

"Why?" Yang Chendong's eyes looked into the distance, and he was silent for a long time before he replied: "Even Yin'er said that I was scary with Wang Zhen's big brand, presumably other people would think the same way, right?" This is not what the young master originally intended and wanted to see. This time, the copper was exchanged for the furnace wall, and the Ministry of Industry arranged it by itself, so that it could serve more people, and secondly, it could also show favor to them, so that they did not have to be jealous of the young master like Wang Zhen. Of course, the most important point is that there is a shortage of copper in the city, and the industry there is developing too fast, especially the arsenals and shipyards, and as all kinds of advanced things are put into production, the gaps that are missing will become bigger and bigger. ”
