2868 Heating
"Your Majesty, the snow is getting heavier and heavier. Be careful of the wind and cold. It's better to enter the house soon!"
Under the corridor of Jinshen Hall, Changsun looked at Li Shimin, who was standing alone in the snow in front of him with concern, and couldn't help but speak softly.
"oh……"
Li Shimin, who was staring at the West, heard Changsun's voice, and then he seemed to come back to his senses. He dusted the snow on his body and smiled bitterly towards Changsun.
When Li Shimin walked to the corridor, a little eunuch immediately took the whisk and hurriedly stepped forward to help him brush the snowflakes that had not been dusted off quickly.
However, when Li Shimin saw him, he waved at him: "Go and rest, can I still have ice in such a little snow?"
The little eunuch who came over hurriedly stopped and held the whisk at a loss, his eyes filled with confusion and fear, and he didn't know whether he should advance or retreat at this time.
Finally, Changsun couldn't stand it and spoke up, asking him to go down without serving here.
This made the little eunuch who was crying anxiously feel like he was given a general amnesty and quickly bowed back and left the corridor.
"Why are there few eunuchs in this palace who are smart recently? They are all so stupid?"
Seeing the little eunuch rushing away quickly with his butt sticking out, Li Shimin frowned and sighed.
But when Changsun heard this, he smiled: "Your Majesty said this, isn't it because it is a peaceful and prosperous era now!"
"Oh? A peaceful and prosperous era?" Li Shimin was stunned and looked at Changsun strangely: "What do you mean? What does this eunuch smart or not have to do with a prosperous era?"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten?"
Seeing Li Shimin's confused look, Changsun couldn't help but smile and explain to him: "These eunuchs are basically unable to support their families because they are poor, so they are sent to the palace to seek a way out!
In the past, the years were not good, and there was no food or clothing, so many people could not survive and sent their children to the palace. There were many people who were sent here. Jingshifang must be picky and choose, and choose some smart people to finally enter the palace.
Now, in the peaceful and prosperous times outside, the people are raising children, so they are naturally reluctant to send them to the palace. Therefore, there is no need to even choose this Jingshifang now. No matter whether it is stupid or smart, as long as there are people, they should stay there quickly!"
"Oh! So that's it!" Li Shimin suddenly realized after hearing Changsun's explanation. Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "So, when the years are better in the future, I am afraid that I will not even have a commanding eunuch? I will really become a lonely person?"
Changsun covered his mouth and chuckled: "Haha, I can't say it's true that there will be such a day!"
"That……"
Li Shimin frowned, but soon stretched out again. He only smiled and said, "Then no one would serve you! What the queen said was that if everyone in the world had enough food and clothing, who would think of entering the palace!"
"Huh?" Changsun probably didn't expect her husband to answer like this. He was stunned for a moment, then he looked so full of energy and bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty is broad-minded, I respect you!"
Seeing this, Li Shimin laughed and reached out to help Changsun up and said, "Hahaha, but I think it was still far away that day. Let's not talk about this anymore. How about it, all the tea in the palace was sent out?"
"It's all sent out!" Changsun was helped up by Li Shimin. He heard that he brought the topic to the tea again, so he nodded and said, "Now in the palace, I only leave some tea for your Majesty, for refreshing the spirit. The other teas have been sent to the Xiao family caravan. The people who came back reported that Xiao Han had basically collected all the teas he needed!"
"Have you collected all of them? I don't need to...forget it, just leave some of them!"
When Li Shimin heard that Changsun had left some tea for him, he wanted to say that he didn't need tea, but when he said something, he swallowed it back.
He knew that the tea was left by Changsun specifically for him. If he said he didn't want it, it would hurt the queen's heart.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin could only take a deep breath and look into the distance through the flying snowflakes: "Even if the tea leaves are all together, they are extremely hard there. Oh, I don't know how they are all! It's winter now, and it is said that the winter there is particularly cold, and even the kettle can freeze and crack..."
That’s right, the winter in Tuguhun is particularly cold!
However, the coldness here is different from the coldness of the howling north wind in Chang'an.
Most of the cold wind blowing from the north is blocked by the tall Qilian Mountains and Kunlun Mountains, and cannot be blown into Tuguhun.
So when there is sun during the day, not only does there be no wind here, but it is also extremely warm because of the high altitude and clean air.
But at night, without the sunlight, the temperature here will drop from above zero to minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. From time to time, there will be gusts of demonic wind blew around, wrapping sand, causing pain to the person!
In such a harsh situation, let alone frozen kettles, even cattle and sheep will be frozen to death if they are accidentally done! Therefore, some Tuguhun tribes have worked so much to build a sheep plate for winter.
As a later generation, although Xiao Han was in a mess in junior high school physics, he also knew that this situation of a huge temperature difference between day and night was caused by the fact that there were many deserts and Gobi in Tuguhun.
Those sand and stones absorb heat quickly and dissipate heat quickly! They cannot be like fertile land, first accommodate a large amount of sun temperature, and then slowly release it.
So, at night, when the sand and stones quickly cool down, the temperature will immediately become extremely cold!
The sudden change in temperature on the ground causes the air pressure to change as well. Next, the so-called demonic wind will be generated! This night is even more difficult.
Of course, even if Xiao Han knew all this, with his ability, he would not be able to change all of this.
All he can do now is to ask people to build a camp early every day when it is almost evening!
Then, the carts were displayed outside the camp to block the cold wind, while others lit bonfires to keep warm.
Fortunately, before this, they seized a large number of cattle and sheep, and they could peel off a lot of cowhide and sheep.
I also got a lot of sheepskin coats from those Tuguhun people.
Wrap these things on your body and get closer to the bonfire, so you won’t be afraid of the cold weather outside.
However, fuel, no matter which dynasty or where it is, is a scarce resource.
Otherwise, there will be no firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and only firewood will be listed first.
"Mr. Xiao, this firewood is still not enough. If you can't burn it for many days, you should burn it all!"
