Chapter 26 The Prince's Rudeness
"Eunuch Xiao, what are your orders for summoning the young one?" Seeing that Zhang Dafu had won the favor of Eunuch Xiao, Liu Fuhai felt a little anxious.
"Well, do you know the casting process?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Understood, the young one is a craftsman, and can handle gold, silver, copper and iron work. I don't know what the father-in-law wants to build?"
What Xiao Chen wanted to build was a boiler.
He is going to install a modern heating system in the storage hall.
In fact, the palace also has its own heating system, which is the so-called "fire floor heating". Many underground fire passages are laid under the palace, and then a pit about two meters deep is dug outside the palace as a stove for burning charcoal.
The hot air is transmitted to the ground of the palace through the underground fire channel, which not only has a large heat dissipation area, but also has uniform heat, and there is no soot and dust pollution, which is basically the same as our current floor heating system.
But only the empress dowager and concubines have this kind of treatment, and other people in the palace can't enjoy it.
Xiao Chen did not.
If you can successfully test it here, then you must install a set in your own house later...
This is also his first invention in ancient times as a modern person.
The advanced concept directly stunned the expert Liu Fuhai.
"Oh! No wonder the big guys say that you, Eunuch Xiao, descended from the stars of Wenqu. Such an exquisite thing is beyond the imagination of ordinary people!"
In fact, the heating system is not a very complicated thing, and the construction principle is quite simple.
First of all, you have to cast a large boiler to hold water, then connect metal pipes to each room, and then install radiators to dissipate heat.
After the water in the boiler is boiled, it will automatically circulate until all the pipe radiators are full of hot water, and the heating effect will be achieved.
The boiler room can be built outside the yard, so that there is no safety hazard of causing a fire.
There are many skilled craftsmen in the imperial prison, and there is no problem in making boilers and pipes, but there are two problems that cannot be solved.
The first one is that with the current foundry technology, radiator fins with more complex structures cannot be manufactured, and even if they are barely manufactured, they may not be usable.
The second is how to connect the pipeline? There is no electric welding technology now, but tin welding is available, but it is not reliable. As long as the water pressure is high, it is easy to leak.
"There's no need for radiators, just make the pipe thicker and bend it into a coiled snake shape to have the same effect." Xiao Chen solved the first problem with a single sentence.
"As for the method of connecting the pipes, it is also very easy. Just paste clay, lime, fine sand, egg white, and glutinous rice soup on the connection according to a certain proportion, and then wrap several layers with gauze soaked in water..."
"Oh! Don't tell me, Eunuch Xiao's method may really work! Eunuch Xiao, if you say that you are not a god, no one will believe it!" Liu Fuhai was very clever, and he was overjoyed immediately after thinking for a while, so that Don't choose what to say.
"Well, no matter whether it works or not, let's try it first." Of course Xiao Chen would not tell him that his grandfather in his previous life was a retired boiler factory worker...
After a long time in the storage hall, it was too cold to bear, so he found an excuse to leave.
I was suffocated, and it was funny, my young master, I was promoted to be the eunuch of Bingbi, a dignified third grade, but I didn't expect to become a file warehouse manager!
Where to go to reason?
Only the queen can be found.
"It's just like this!" When he arrived at Kunning Palace, he told Murong Yueqiu what happened today, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, and he felt useless!
"Look at you looking so angry, why? Can't bear this little grievance?" Unexpectedly, not only did the queen not get angry, she even looked at Xiao Chen with a smile.
Miss, did you make a mistake? I am your man!
I was treated so badly by others outside, but it's also your face, okay?
Let's just say that damn Gong Shouli didn't pay attention to the empress...
"I remember that the ancient sages once said a word, when the heavens will send a great task to the people, they must first toil their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and suffer their hearts..."
No, ma'am, what you said makes no sense.
I'm just a eunuch, okay?
But I don't want to take on any big responsibility at all, whoever loves to be the one!
It's a rare time to time travel, all I want to do is to be rich and rich, to have fun wantonly, to live my whole life with beautiful wives and beautiful concubines.
It can be seen that you are not my confidant, the confidante, if you continue to behave like this, I will not care about you anymore!
"Slave, I'm just a little eunuch, but I don't have any lofty ambitions... In short, this eunuch Bingbi is too boring, so I might as well resign and concentrate on serving your mother."
"Nonsense, this is granted by the emperor, so why don't you do it if you don't want to? But I told the emperor that you are still the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace..."
I can't bear you either.
As Murong Danqiu spoke, he glanced at Xiao Chen's lower body with a half-smile, and suddenly his cheeks were full of peach blossoms.
"Really? It's so good, the main reason is that the servant is reluctant to part with you, my mother."
Xiao Chen immediately grasped the deep meaning of the queen, and immediately leaned over to say some intimate words to her.
Unexpectedly, the eunuch outside suddenly came to report, saying that the prince came to pay his respects.
Murong Danqiu frowned slightly, gently pushed Xiao Chen, and said lazily: "Let him in."
"The slave will retire first?" Xiao Chen asked hurriedly.
"Don't go, just stay here with me." Murong Danqiu looked a little strange.
"Your servant respectfully invites the Empress Shengan!" Prince Li Xian strode in with his head held high and chest high, bowing to Murong Danqiu as if.
"Excuse me." Murong Danqiu's voice was cold.
It seems that he doesn't like to see the current prince.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, the empress looks more and more charming." The prince raised his head with a smile, staring at Murong Danqiu intently.
This is a bit of a faux pas.
"The prince is busy with work, so I won't keep you any longer, Xiao Chen, send the prince out for me." Murong Danqiu's eyes flashed a trace of sullen anger.
"My son misses the queen very much, how could he issue orders to chase away guests as soon as they meet, he is really cruel." Prince Li Xian's words were almost joking.
This is not rude, but rude!
tantamount to teasing.
Xiao Chen, who was watching coldly, was greatly surprised.
Could it be that the prince actually has some bad thoughts about the queen?
Fuck, this is too much!
It's just a beast!
Stepping forward, bowing in salute, he said loudly: "His Royal Highness, please!"
The crown prince glared at him fiercely, but he didn't lose his temper, "I will take my leave first, and come back to greet the queen later."
"If the prince is busy, there is no need to come."
"If you want to come, if you don't see your mother and queen for a few days, this son will always feel uneasy."
"Prince, please!" Seeing his playful smile, Xiao Chen's teeth were itchy with hatred, and he almost couldn't help kicking him out of the palace gate.
Outside the palace gate, the prince stopped and stared at Xiao Chen with a bad expression.
"Xiao Chen, do you think that you can despise the lonely king by making a small contribution to the father and relying on the queen's waist?"
"The servant doesn't dare!" Xiao Chen's body trembled when he heard this, and his chrysanthemum tightened.
What are you doing? Why are you rushing at me?
