Chapter 168
The two walked into one of the courtyards. The layout was a simple courtyard with houses built on all sides, consisting of the main house, the east and west wing rooms and the reverse side room. The courtyard was surrounded from all sides in the middle, which was refreshing and refreshing.

"Your Majesty, this house is a big house for common people, but for rich and powerful people, it's not big enough to accommodate people." Ruyi complained softly.

"Well, after it is given, it is estimated that rich people will follow the trend and build their own. Then cement factories and brick factories will be busy. The bigger they are, the better." The old emperor was really cunning.

Once it becomes popular in the capital, it will probably spread to the south of the Yangtze River in no time.Thinking about Suzhou gardens and Hui-style architecture, Ruyi thought about visiting the south in her lifetime.

"Your Majesty, have you ever been to Jiangnan?" Ruyi was curious.

"I've been there before. I'll take you with me next time." Emperor Qinglong saw Ruyi's thoughts and made a promise.Jiangnan is indeed worth going to again, and it is necessary to go there again.

The two of them were walking around, wearing a lot of clothes, but they didn't feel cold at all. However, the soldiers on duty were all in the cold wind, and Ruyi looked at them feeling somewhat cold.

Ruyi hopes that every citizen of the Qing Kingdom can have enough food and clothing.Emperor Qinglong followed Xiao Ruyi's gaze and probably knew what she was thinking.

"It's not too cold in the capital anymore, and the people further north are having a hard time in winter." Emperor Qinglong said with emotion, they are all his own people. "Earth Dragon is not suitable for ordinary people."

"Then let's sit on the bed." Ruyi said a new word.Now that we have bricks, of course we can make a fire kang.

"Kang is a sleeping platform made of bricks, blanks, etc. There is a hole underneath, connected to the chimney, where you can burn a fire to keep warm. It will be hot when you sleep on it at night. It is just a waste of firewood."

Ruyi thinks about environmental pollution, but people in ancient times have fewer mountains and more trees, so it is probably better. At worst, Emperor Qinglong is required to hold an Arbor Day, and each person needs to plant a few trees every year.

Ruyi thought about going back and quickly drew the picture: "The Kang is about 1.7 meters to [-] meters wide, and the length can be determined according to the length of the room. There is a Kang wall built with bricks, and there is a flue in the Kang wall. , it is covered with relatively flat stone slabs, and the stone slabs are covered with mud and smoothed. Generally, loess is mixed with crushed wheat straw and lime to make a row. After the mud is dry, a kang mat is spread on it, and then it can be used."

The more Emperor Qinglong listened, the brighter his eyes became. He was surprised every time he brought Ruyi out. He had an urge to go up and hug the little girl. However, looking at the guards who were ten steps away, he stopped thinking and just used his burning palms. , tightly surrounding Ruyi’s little hand.

Sitting on the carriage going back, Emperor Qinglong suddenly thought that since he was bringing people out, he might as well go for a stroll.

"Would you like to take a look on the street?" Emperor Qinglong asked.

When Ruyi heard this, her whole body seemed to light up, and she stammered a little: "I...can I?"

Emperor Qinglong felt a little sad for some reason and touched her head: "Of course. Li Sheng, go to Xuanwu Street."

Eunuch Li Sheng, who was outside, heard this and immediately understood that Xuanwu Street was the most prosperous and lively place in the entire capital, and the emperor wanted to please his empress.

"What does Xuanwu Street look like?" When she was a child, Ruyi rarely went out for shopping, so Ruyi had basically no impression of this aspect.

"There are many shops, restaurants, teahouses, and jewelry shops. As long as the rich can use it, they are all here." After Emperor Qinglong came of age, he went out many times and was quite familiar with Xuanwu Street.

"Can I buy gifts for Xiao Junjun and Mengmeng?" Ruyi smiled and narrowed her eyes, like crescent moons.Then he seemed a little unsure: "Do we have any money?"

Emperor Qinglong was a little jealous at first, and he couldn't forget those two brats wherever he went.But when I heard the last sentence, I almost laughed. "Well, there is a lot of silver, so feel free to buy it."

"Your Majesty, you are so kind." Ruyi stood up and kissed the person suddenly.

Emperor Qinglong was afraid that the carriage would be unstable, so he hurriedly caught the person. She was the mother of two children, and she still looked like a little girl. The tenderness in her eyes almost overflowed.

Ruyi poked his head around and finally waited for the carriage to arrive at a crowded place.It seems that this is the time.

"Shall we get off the carriage and take a walk?" Although it was a question, Emperor Qinglong could already see that the person was about to rush out.

"Okay." Emperor Qinglong opened the curtain, got off the carriage, turned around and stretched out his hand to Ruyi.

Ruyi looked at Emperor Qinglong in the sun and felt that there seemed to be a halo around him. He was truly the best in the world.
