Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"And after being used to glue bricks and stones,"

"The intensity is also much stronger than the rice water we used to drink."

Saying,

Zhao Yuan led the three of them to the wall of a house.

Have the three of them try to break down the wall.

Since Zhao Yuan has given permission,

The three of them naturally felt confident and bold enough to get started.

It was just a waste of half a day's effort.

Jiang Jing and his two companions used various tools.

But they still couldn't destroy the wall.

It only left dents of varying sizes on the wall.

"This wall is indeed very sturdy."

Jiang Jing and the other two were all filled with astonishment.

"Actually, houses are built using bricks and stones like these,"

Zhao Yuan said with a smile,

"The biggest advantage is that you don't have to worry about it catching fire."

"That's true,"

Jiang Jing and the other two nodded in unison.

Houses in this era

It is all made of wood.

And such houses

The greatest danger and trouble,

That was a fire.

Even in the heavily guarded Tokyo and Kaifeng,

Also every three to five years,

Then a big fire will break out.

The fire was the most intense of those times.

It even burned down a large part of Tokyo.

Zhao Yuan led the three of them around the town...

Chapter 1,333 The secret of greenhouse

Although it was already winter at this time

But in this stone town of Liangshan...

Yet it was still incredibly crowded.

Merchants came everywhere to do business.

Don't these people feel cold?

The fortune teller Jiang Jing asked in surprise,

"In this kind of weather,"

"They also ran over here..."

"Businessmen, for money, they'll do anything, even risk their lives, let alone work hard."

Zhao Yuan laughed.

"As for why there are so many people here,"

"Actually, it's because Liangshan discovered a carbon mine in the nearby mountains."

"Now all the houses here are burned with coal,"

Zhao Yuan said,

He led the three into an inn.

That shopkeeper must be one of Liangshan's own people.

Upon seeing Zhao Yuan enter,

Hurry up and go forward to greet them.

"Prepare some wine and food, I'll first welcome the three heroes from Huangmen Mountain here."

The innkeeper went to prepare the food and wine.

Zhao Yuan led the fortune teller Jiang Jing, the nine-tailed turtle Tao Zongwang, and the iron flute immortal Ma Lin into a private room.

"A welcoming banquet had already been prepared for the three of you in the Hall of Righteousness in the water,"

"But now that we've been delayed, the three of you must be hungry,"

"Let's eat something here right now,"

"Let's go back to Dazhai for a drink tonight!"

“The chieftain is right, I am indeed hungry,”

Iron Flute Immortal Ma Lin laughed heartily.

Tao Zongwang, the nine-tailed turtle beside him, curiously looked around the room.

The fortune teller beside him asked in surprise,

"Brother Tao, what's wrong?"

"There isn't even a brazier in this house,"

The nine-tailed turtle said,

"Why is it still so warm?"

Before Tao Zongwang, the nine-tailed turtle, was born...

He was just a craftsman who built houses.

So as soon as he entered the room,

He immediately noticed that the house was different.

Generally speaking,

The house at this time,

Because it is mostly built of wood

Therefore, methods of keeping warm are needed.

Most of them used braziers to burn charcoal.

Such heating efficiency is naturally not very good.

Every year when winter comes,

Many people will freeze to death.

Even the Song court's capital, Tokyo,

Every winter, hundreds of people freeze to death.

"Brother Tao, please come with me to this side."

Seeing Tao Zongwang's curiosity,

Zhao Yuan then led him to a house behind the inn.

The group pushed open the door and went inside.

Inside this room,

Fire pits were burning everywhere.

As soon as I walked in,

The heatwave inside caused everyone to involuntarily take a step back.

Why is this room so hot?

"The fortune teller Jiang Jing asked in surprise."

"This room is too hot, how can anyone live here?"

Iron Flute Immortal Ma Lin wiped away his sweat.

"This house was never meant to be lived in,"

Zhao Yuan explained to the three of them,

“Behind those hearths inside the house, there were brick and stone passageways,”

"There are also guest rooms and private rooms leading to the front."

"The scalding smoke from the flames in the hearth,"

"Through these stone passages,"

"Flowing to the guest rooms and private rooms at the front,"

"Then it floated out through the exit at the top of the wall..."

"So that's why the guest room was so warm just now,"

The fortune teller Jiang Jing and the iron flute immortal Ma Lin were still a little confused.

Tao Zongwang, the nine-tailed turtle on this side, had already realized that he needed to stay away.

"These brick and stone houses are surprisingly convenient,"

"If only the common people could build houses like this,"

"Later, when winter comes,"

"Surely no one will freeze to death."

"Now, most of the people living on Liangshan Mountain in the marshland live in brick houses like these."

Zhao Yuan laughed.

"But if we want all the people in the world to have a place to live,"

"Things aren't easy right now,"

"After all, this world still belongs to the Song Emperor..."

"It's all because of that damned Zhao family emperor who only knows how to exploit the people."

Tao Zongwang, the Nine-Tailed Turtle, said angrily.

"Back then, I was in trouble because I built houses for that government office,"

"It caused a delay,"

"That corrupt official actually wants to exile me to the army."

"In my hometown, families have been driven to ruin and death by the government in recent years."

"Countless people were forced to become outlaws."

"Let alone living in a brick house like this,"

"It means being able to eat a full meal,"

"This is already quite a rare thing."
