Chapter 62 Firewood

Fusu didn't notice the undercurrents between his friends. He thought that both of them were good and could definitely get along well.

When it snowed this year, Li You and Wang Li were both diverted from the Imperial College and arranged to the Shaofu Office to protect Fusu's safety and carry out important work in Fusu's hands.

A few days after Wang Li came to report, he quickly got along with Zhang Liang. The common topic between him and Zhang Liang was very simple: This Li Youzhen is disliked.

With this consensus, their friendship heated up very quickly. They were able to get up early every day to practice swordsmanship, and from time to time they collaborated on Li You to eliminate him.

The people sent by Ying Zheng gradually made Fusu's originally deserted new house gradually become lively. Fusu reads and practices martial arts quietly and obediently every day, and no new news occurred in the Shaofu yamen.

Since Fusu has been moving for a while ago, Fusu has been so well-behaved and quiet recently, many people are quite unaccustomed to it. They think Ying Zheng has no new tricks to give Fusu his political achievements?

When Ying Zheng was moving frequently, they felt that Ying Zheng was really not a human being. Now Ying Zheng has stopped moving and they are uncomfortable all over.

However, the weather has been cold recently, and everyone doesn't want to move. They thought about it for a while and then gave up.

Fusu is not idle either, he is still working diligently on the affairs of the Shaofu Office.

Moreover, Fusu has not been making new things during this period. After autumn, he has built a new greenhouse for the palace, where fresh vegetables can be grown in winter.

Unfortunately, this thing is too expensive, regardless of manpower and material resources. He told Ying Zheng and was scolded again, saying that he was just thinking of losing money and losing money.

People are not well-fed and don’t wear warmth. Some people even freeze to death in winter. You even encourage others to cook a squeezing hot pot for that pinch of vegetables every day. Are you embarrassed?

After thinking about it, Fusu thought it seemed that this was the reason, so he only built a greenhouse in the palace and didn't do it anywhere else.

Although he educated Fusu, he drew all the drawings, and Ying Zheng felt that it was too wasteful to put them in vain.

This kind of thing that is very fresh and costly, although it cannot be sold directly for a lot of money, it may not be useless.

At least, he could send the drawings to the Eastern countries so that their nobles could enjoy fresh vegetables in the middle of the winter.

To work hard on others’ people and hurt other people’s wealth, it has nothing to do with them, Qin!

If others know about this, they can't say that they are doing bad things. After all, they accidentally discovered a way to eat vegetables in the middle of winter. They followed the selfless idea of ​​not just thinking about enjoying good things, and sent someone to send them out. What's wrong with doing this?

Ying Zheng did not delay and asked Li Si to discuss the matter privately. The king and his ministers combined to copy ten or eight copies of the drawings, and quietly sent them out through detailed works lurking in various countries.

When Li Si saw such a good thing, he actually wanted to get one for himself, but he knew that he couldn't do it now, so he quickly accepted the drawings and added bricks to the spy plan.

When winter just started, the palace continued to supply fresh vegetables without paying attention. During the Chinese New Year, the palace gave meritorious officials a basket of vegetables, and some people noticed that the fresh vegetables in the palace had never stopped.

However, the greenhouse was under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu Office and Fusu. Under Ying Zheng's instructions, Fusu issued a ban on this matter. Ordinary people either cannot inquire about the method of creating the greenhouse, or they dare not secretly learn the secret methods in the palace after they were inquired, so as not to cut them down in a rage.

So those who received the reward (expressed) were grateful for the fresh vegetables given by Ying Zheng, and wrote poems and poems that were full of passion and praise to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng felt that these people had an average ability to do things, but they were quite nice. He asked Li Si to pick up several excellent works to send people to the Eastern countries to promote this new-style greenhouse, so that the nobles of the Eastern countries could enjoy the benefits of greenhouses earlier.

Outsiders naturally don't know about these things. Everyone only knows that Fusu is very peaceful recently and has not done anything.

Compared with the calmness of Qin, Zhao has not been peaceful recently. The main reason is that the war situation between the two countries has eased recently. The Qin army retreated because the weather has turned cold, and it is much weaker than the Qin army that captured the South Korean army in one fell swoop.

The people of Zhao did not know much about the battlefield, but only knew that Li Mu had not come. Zhao State was defeated repeatedly. Once Li Mu was replaced, the Qin people were defeated, and the border was calm.

Faced with a rare respite, the people respected Li Mu as a god.

I don’t know where it started first, but the people spontaneously sang songs praising Li Mu, and sang them with a particularly true feeling.

These songs were soon spread around the King of Zhao. One day, King Zhao went out to hunt and accidentally heard a child singing songs praising Li Mu's wise and magical martial arts and saving Zhao from the fire and water. When he returned, his face turned dark.

Li Mu is very powerful, but he is the king, Li Mu is the minister, and his minister's reputation is at its peak, which is not a good thing for the king.

How did the three families divide Jin?

The aristocratic families of Jin State were accumulated from generation to generation, so strong that they could control the kings to abolish them. The government affairs were decided by them. In the end, among the various aristocratic families of Jin State, Zhao, Wei and Han divided Jin into three parts, completely dividing the land of Jin State!

Zhao State has such a history of making a fortune. Now the whole country is praising Li Mu, so King Zhao is not afraid of being vigilant.

King Zhao was in a bad mood, but when Qin had just taken down South Korea, Zhao could not lose Li Mu, so he still called Li Mu back to celebrate the New Year with affection and prepared to contact Li Mu, so as not to forget him as the king in the army for too long.

This time Li Mu came back, there were some twists and turns.

The reason was that a few days after Li Mu came back, when his subordinates went out, they met someone bullying a minority girl. They had a bad temper and suddenly got up. They picked up a whip and threw it over.

This shook something happened.

Li Mu usually treats his subordinates very well, and usually eats and lives with the soldiers, and treats them as their own hands.

This made Li Mu's soldiers extremely loyal to Li Mu.

Li Mu was very strict in his army and restrained the people below him very well. When he saw someone bullying a weak woman without any power, his subordinates naturally couldn't stand it.

Unexpectedly, the man who teased the folk girl was quite good. He was the younger brother of King Zhao's favorite concubine, and a brother-in-law who King Zhao liked very much.

The little uncle saw that Li Mu's subordinates were big and round, and he could not bully him at first sight. He glared at them angrily and ran away with a few servants.

Although he didn't argue in person, the little uncle didn't plan to just let it go. He sent someone to inquire about it and learned that it was Li Mu's man. He immediately went to the palace to cry to King Zhao, and showed him the whip he was beaten, saying that he had been beaten.

Although King Zhao liked this brother-in-law very much, he also knew what kind of urination he was. He probably had done something bad outside and was caught by Li Mu's people.

But knowing that it is one thing, but feeling comfortable is another.

Li Mu's people knew that Xiao Guo's uncle was his brother-in-law and still whipped him, but obviously did not take his brother-in-law seriously.

Rounding, Li Mu didn't take him seriously!

Although King Zhao was angry, he did not have an attack. Instead, he asked his brother-in-law to apologize to Li Mu, saying that he had done something wrong by himself.

Xiao Guojiu felt wronged, but he did not dare to question King Zhao's decision. After leaving the palace, he obediently prepared a gift to ask Li Mu to apologize.

Only then did Li Mu realize that the person his subordinates beat was the little uncle. He jumped several times, but in the end he asked his subordinates to come out to reconcile with the little uncle. Both sides could barely turn war into jade.

A few days later, Xiao Guogong went out to play with his friends. He was drinking well, but someone didn't open any pot and brought it up. He also took out the story of Xiao Guogong being whipped.

They also said that Li Mu is really amazing. The people below are arrogant and domineering, and they dare to beat our little uncle at the foot of the royal city.

Another person said, this is more than that. A humble general beats Xiao Guo uncle and can also make Xiao Guo uncle come to apologize. The more he thinks about it, the more he becomes, the more amazing it becomes.

Others also talked about how powerful Li Mu is now. Everyone among the people said that he was the God of War. It is said that many people worship his statues at home! Such a powerful figure, even the king would give him three points!

Even though Xiao Guogong knew that these friends were making excuses, he became more angry and became more and more thoughtful. After he went back, he went to the palace to see his sister and told his sister about his grievances.

The favorite concubine of King Zhao was in the palace, but she didn't know what was going on outside. After hearing what her younger brother reposted, she was so angry that she spoke to King Zhao at night, and shed tears again, saying that his younger brother was too aggrieved, and Li Mu was extremely hateful.

When King Zhao knew that Li Mu had really received apology from his brother-in-law and asked his subordinates to come out to "reconcile" with his brother-in-law, he actually thought so in his heart.

However, Li Mu is indispensable in the army.

It was not that he had not moved Li Mu away, but Li Mu was not in front of him, and they even lost several cities.

King Zhao was very happy to comfort his favorite concubine and was in a bad mood.

Let's bear it first.

But after saying that the little uncle complained, he felt very wronged. As a result, the people below came to report that the winter vegetable cultivation method he had obtained for a lot of money some time ago worked. The greenhouse he built really grew green fresh vegetables in the middle of the winter!

The little uncle went over to take a look in pleasure, and happily cut a basket of green vegetables and sent them to the palace to present them to King Zhao.

You should know that he has always been said to be ignorant and is quite unconvinced. After taking this method that is said to be from the Mo family, he spent a lot of money to conduct experiments. Now that he has done so, he naturally feels breathless!

King Zhao thought his brother-in-law was here to complain again, but when he saw him smiling, he seemed very happy.

King Zhao couldn't help but relax and asked with a smile: "What good thing are you encountering?"

The little uncle said, "Your Majesty, what do you think this is?" He excitedly carried the basket in front of King Zhao and presented treasures to his "brother-in-law". "This is what I have planted!"

If you say that in Chu State, it is not uncommon to see fresh vegetables in the middle of winter. The climate in Chu State is warm and there are places where you can grow live vegetables in winter.

The place in Yanzhao is different. Their winter is much colder than in the south, and the vegetables are really not long. The palace can only barely supply some, but it is still the kind that cannot be picked.

King Zhao was also a little surprised when he saw the green basket of vegetables.

Listening to Xiao Guogong's vivid explanation of how he took down the secret method of the Mo family and how people could secretly experiment, King Zhao felt that his brother-in-law was finally sensible and knew that he had spent money on useful places.

In order to show his rare positive and motivated brother-in-law, King Zhao personally went to the greenhouse and asked someone to pick some vegetables and give them to all civil and military officials.

The little uncle was so angry that he raised his eyebrows this time.

He realized that he had done something big. Some friends came to ask about the warm room and he didn't hide it. He took someone to observe and study after a few words from others.

Soon, this new-style greenhouse became popular in the Zhao noble circle, and almost everyone with the conditions worked on it.

This thing is not very technically difficult, but after it is completed, the ground dragon has to be burned to keep the entire greenhouse at a suitable temperature in the middle of winter. The larger the greenhouse, the more firewood and charcoal it will consume.

When Li Mu left the royal city and returned to the army, the greenhouses of each family were almost built. He led his subordinates away from the royal city for a long time. He saw many people pushing trucks of firewood and charcoal in the same direction with sad expressions, and he couldn't help but stop.

Li Mu asked someone to quietly ask where these people were sending firewood. It didn't seem like they were sending firewood to the city.

The subordinates quickly found out the news and came back, lowered their voices and reported to Li Mu: "They sent firewood to the greenhouse of Xiao Guojiu's house. I heard that the price was very low, and a truck of charcoal could not even replace a piece of cloth."

Li Mu paused, sighed, and said, "Let's go."
