"One, two, three!"
In the Imperial City, outside a green brick wall, tie an took several Mohist children to hold the handle and rotate the drill bit together. The very hard green brick in the hands of normal people is easily drilled through like tofu.
"Young master, it's done." tie an said.
Merton nodded, walked around the door and knocked gently on the door.
"Please come in!" a familiar voice came from inside.
Merton opened the door and saw that Wei Zhengzheng was wearing official clothes and working in a serious manner. A pot of charcoal fire was burning in the house.
"I've seen Lord Wei!" Merton saluted quickly.
"I thought it was the mouse who made a hole in my wall. I didn't expect it was you, boy. This is the imperial Yamen. You destroy the public property of the imperial court. Do you know what crime to commit?" Wei Zheng said with a straight face.
Merton immediately smiled and said, "Lord Wei, you have wronged the boy. The boy was originally going to install heating for the emperor. Before he arrived at the palace, he received a decree to let the boy install heating for the three provinces and six departments first, and specially instructed to give priority to the Shangshu Province."
Wei Zheng immediately got up in awe, saluted the palace and said, "I'm ashamed of my love for the emperor!"
It has to be said that Li Shimin can have such great achievements. The means to buy people's hearts are almost perfect. The heating method is specially built for Li Shimin, and Li Shimin can let himself endure the smoke and fire smell of charcoal fire and give priority to the installation of heating in three provinces and six departments.
I can't help admiring that I have gained the heart of civil and military affairs in the dynasty at one fell swoop.
With a wave of his hand, Merton came in with a two foot wide and three foot long radiator, which was quickly assembled inside and outside the house.
"This is the heating?" Wei Zheng looked at the iron pimple in the room curiously.
How could Wei Zheng not know that the design of the public transmission furnace had made him ecstatic, and Merton's idea of heating made him even more amazing.
"That's right!" Merton nodded. "The hot water flows out from the top, and then naturally flows out from the bottom. After discharge, it will return to the boiler and reheat. In this way, there will be no carbon poison and no risk of fire."
Wei Zheng frowned and said, "I'm afraid this method costs a lot."
The construction of heating is really cumbersome. It is necessary to build boilers, bury pipes and go through walls. The money consumed is not comparable to that of a carbon stove.
Knowing that Wei Zheng had committed the old problem and wanted to persuade him to save money, Merton couldn't help laughing and saying, "this is the important place of the imperial court and the center of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, safety comes first."
Wei Zheng frowned and stopped talking. He looked at the charcoal brazier in the house and the radiator on the tall building. Even if he wanted to be frugal, he should also consider the feelings of the ministers, and he was wise to skip this topic
Wei Zheng's room was the last project in Shangshu province. Tie an LED several Mohist children to connect radiators quickly.
"The young master has all been connected!" tiean reported.
Merton nodded and said, "start heating!"
In the boiler room, the high boiler is at least three meters away from the ground. With an order, a Mohist son opened the valve. The hot water spread all over Shangshu province with the pipeline using gravity and water pressure, but there is still residual temperature when it flows from the drainage to the boiler room again. "
A huge water tanker will pour the remaining warm water into the boiler again, and the heating of the whole Shangshu province has been officially installed.
Merton breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, in this era, all are on the first floor. Without water pressure equipment, the use of gravity to heat the whole Shangshu province is the limit of technology in this era.
Rao is so. It's enough to amaze the whole Tang Dynasty.
"Lord Wei! The boy is gone." Merton
In the Shangshu room, Merton touched the hot radiator, nodded with satisfaction, bowed to Wei Zheng and took the charcoal basin out of the room.
Among the Shangshu provinces, the central Shu Province, the Menxia Province, the Ministry of punishment, the Ministry of rites, the Ministry of people, the Ministry of officials, the Ministry of war, and the three provinces and six departments have been installed one by one.
This time, the Mohist school was in the limelight in front of all officials. Everywhere, Merton can be said to have received a warm welcome. The effect of heating is almost many times better than that of charcoal basin.
"Lord Mo, after Lord Mo is busy, please go to my house for a chat. I've long wanted to talk with Lord Mo about the idea of cultivating vertical and horizontal people." in the ceremony department, Linghu de Yu smiled and tried to invite Merton to his house.
Merton knows what he means when he hears the string. Where does Linghu dehu want to talk to him about this? It is clear that he sees the benefits of heating. The purpose is to install heating in Linghu's house.
"Of course, of course! The boy wanted to visit Lord Linghu's house for a long time, but he was afraid of being abrupt and couldn't go. Please forgive me!" Merton smiled very hard. These old foxes talked about business and pretended to be around the bush.
"I'll be waiting for you." Linghu De Fu got the answer he wanted and nodded with satisfaction.
Linghu's invitation was not an exception. Merton received a thick bundle of invitations all the way down.
Merton handed a bundle of invitations directly to Tie'an and said, "go down and sort them out. Install them in batches according to official rank and titles."
Tie an nodded and put the invitation in her arms.
"By the way, don't be soft when making an offer. These officials have plenty of money!" Merton thought and turned to remind him.
"Er! That's not good!" iron Ann frowned.
Merton waved his hand and said, "the more so, the more reassuring they are. I'm afraid they don't want to install it for free in Mojia village?"
A little money can't be compared with a favor owed to the Mohist family. All officials are naturally willing to pay both money and goods.
Of course, except for the old man cheng Yaojin, if you want to get a penny from him, you will win.
The last stop was the work department. When Merton entered the work department, Duan Lun did not appear, but a young seven grade official of the work department came out to receive him.
Merton didn't mean to take people to install it directly, but to Merton's surprise, the young ministry official followed the whole process and was intoxicated.
"Have you ever understood?" Merton said softly behind the young official.
The young official was fascinated. When he heard the speech, he suddenly aroused his spirits. Seeing Merton behind him, he quickly saluted and said, "Lord Merton, forgive me. I'm not cheating on my teacher,......"
Merton waved his hand and said, "the Mohist school didn't steal the teacher. If the apprentice is willing to learn, the teacher will give him all his money. If you want to learn, you can assemble the heating yourself. I'm afraid it won't be possible to repair the heating of the imperial court in the future. In my opinion, you're a suitable candidate."
The young official immediately brightened his eyes and bowed down and said, "lower official Yu Wenbo, thank you for your guidance."
"Yuwenbo? Yuwenkai's descendants?" Merton said in his heart.
Yu Wenkai was a great man who presided over the construction of Chang'an city at the beginning of that year. Chang'an City Palace, each square city, road design and drainage facilities were all ahead of the world, and all these came from Yu Wenkai.
"I'm ashamed of my grandfather's name!" Yu Wenbo said shamefully.
