Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

They came out of the house, took a shortcut and ran all the way. Fortunately, they caught up.

"go!"

The officer shouted at them.

Immediately, Bai Yi and the others followed.

The snowflakes are still falling heavily.

Teams under Mingde's command, like snowflakes, marched out of Chang'an City in a mighty procession.

Everyone has a belief in their heart.

Master Qin!
With Master Qin around, everything is just a paper tiger!!
….……….…….
Changan.

In that dilapidated City God Temple.

In the howling cold wind, it seemed even more shaky.

The orphans inside didn't have the energy to speak. It seemed that there was no hope at all.

“Squeak…”

At this moment, suddenly, the wooden door of the City God Temple let out a difficult groan.

A person rushed in from outside.

"Are you all still alive?"

"If you are still alive, don't stay here. Go! Follow me if you want to live!"

"Damn it, Young Master Qin has already come up with a plan. Now all the people in Chang'an are going there, and they will be provided with relief through work. At least they will have no problem staying alive."

"Master Qin won't harm us. Let's go now!"

The man who was speaking was from a neighboring family. He usually ran a tea stall, so he was very familiar with this group of orphans.

When he got the news, he hurried to find them.

He knew that if these children didn't move, it would be difficult for them to survive the winter.

Not to mention starving to death, the temperature over the past two days alone is enough to make them suffer.

But luckily!
Fortunately, with Mr. Qin here, everything can always be solved.

"What? Brother Daniel, are you telling the truth?"

"Master Qin... Did Master Qin really give the order?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you!"

"Let's go, those who can move, let's go together!"

The child who looked the oldest in the City God Temple stood up immediately.

His face was full of excitement.

Suddenly, the originally lifeless City God Temple became more lively.

Everyone rushed to stand up.

"No! Xiaohua, you girls shouldn't go."

The big brother suddenly spoke again, looking at a few skinny girls and two or three smaller children.

"You all stay here. Don't worry. Since His Royal Highness the King of Chu has given the order, we will definitely not starve to death."

Brother Daniu said.

The leading child was a little hesitant.

The others looked at him, too.

At this time, Brother Daniu spoke again.

"Don't just stand there, let's go."

"Don't worry, I really don't worry. Even if you don't believe what I say, since Master Qin has given the order, will he not consider you? You don't have to believe me, but you have to believe Master Qin."

Brother Daniu said again.

After hearing this, the leading child breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded heavily.

He was unwilling in his heart, but these children followed him.

After all, they are too small.

"Okay, that's it!"

"Xiaohua, you stay here and look after them."

"Don't worry, you won't starve with us here. Not to mention, Master Qin has come up with a plan, so we have to trust Master Qin."

The child clenched his fists tightly.

"go!"

Brother Daniu turned around and plunged into the snowstorm.

Everyone else, hurry up and follow.

"Brother Daniu, brother, be careful."

"Be careful and come back safely!"

Xiaohua ran to the door and shouted.

"Sister Xiaohua..."

A child called out softly, a little scared.

After all, they are orphans. They usually act together and have little sense of security. They are very afraid of being abandoned.

Peanut took a breath and she gently rubbed the child's head.

"Don't be afraid, don't worry. Brother Daniu and the others are going to follow Young Master Qin to do some work."

"Master Qin, you know, with Master Qin here, we will definitely be fine."

Xiaohua comforted.

The children looked at her, listened to her words, and nodded vigorously.

Young Master Qin!
How could they not have heard of this name?

It's like thunder in my ears!!

They all dreamed of becoming Master Qin's servants.

This is already the biggest dream of these children.

The wind and snow outside seemed to be getting stronger.

But this time, the wind is full of hope.

No?
….……….…….
Imperial College.

Kong Yingda sat under the pavilion.

This pavilion was the place where he and Qin Changye had once talked together.

Staring blankly at the heavy snow.

trance.

Daze.

"Chongyuan, be careful not to catch a cold, it's getting cold,"

Yu Shinan walked over slowly and covered Kong Yingda with the cloak in his hand.

Kong Yingda recovered.

"Shinan, hey..."

Kong Yingda moved and sat aside to make some space for Yu Shinan.

"Still worried about the people?"

Yu Shinan sat down and said with a smile.

"Yes, this heavy snow is coming too fast. What should the people do?"

"Alas... I'm afraid it will be difficult for the imperial court to respond in a short period of time. I don't know how many people will be displaced."

"It's difficult, it's really difficult! The weather is so cold, and it's hard for the poor people to endure it."

Kong Yingda's face was full of sorrow.

"Ha ha ha ha……."

Yu Shinan couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing what he said.

"Shinan, why are you laughing?" Kong Yingda frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"Chongyuan, this matter is not something we should consider. Master Qin has a way!"

"Master Qin? But Master Qin is not in Chang'an right now, how could he have a solution? No matter how smart you are, you can't imagine that a snowstorm will happen in Chang'an so soon. Even a god would be caught off guard and panic."

Kong Yingda retorted without even thinking.

He didn't even hear the relief in Yu Shinan's voice.

"Hahaha……."

Yu Shinan laughed again and gently stroked his beard.

"Chong Yuan, no, you are wrong. Young Master Qin has already given us a solution."

"Go and see, now in Chang'an, all the people have followed the court to move."

"A plan? No need to worry about it anymore."

Yu Shinan said with a smile.

"what?!"

After hearing this, Kong Yingda flew up as if a spring was installed under his butt.

The eyes are round.

Can't believe it.

He stared straight at Yu Shinan.

Has a solution been given?
How is this possible! Young Master Qin... Young Master Qin is not in Chang'an now, how can he come up with a plan?

This is too awesome!

Incredible! !
Gulp...
Kong Yingda felt an itch in his throat. He swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "This...Shi Nan, what is going on?"

The voice trembled.

His face was hot.

Scalp numbness.

The soul trembles.

I am still worried about this, but have the people been rescued by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu?
What the hell!

This is too amazing!!
"This is true, Chongyuan, there is no need to doubt it."

Yu Shinan quickly supported the excited Kong Yingda, and helped him sit down again with a smile.

"What exactly is going on?"

Kong Yingda stared at Yu Shinan with his old eyes.

Yu Shinan quickly explained and told the story of work-for-relief and honeycomb coal.

Kong Yingda was extremely shocked when he heard this.

I was really surprised and happy.

In this case, the livelihood of the people should not be a problem.

Master Qin, you really have a good way!

Who would have thought that a retreat route had been left for the people so early on.

Honeycomb briquettes!
According to Yu Shinan, it should be both cheap and easy to use.

And then it’s well made.

Then, the method of work-for-relief was used to maintain the lives of the people.

The imperial court is not just providing disaster relief in vain, and the people are not just waiting for help. This is really a great thing for both the imperial court and the people!
"Yeah!"

"Such a wonderful method, Master Qin is really unexpected and unbelievable!"

"Huh... If that's the case, this snowstorm won't cause any serious damage to our Tang Dynasty."

"Hahaha... Let's go, let's go, inform all the students in the Imperial College that if possible, they must participate in this action."

Kong Yingda rubbed his hands together, and his face was already beaming with excitement as he spoke.

The anxious heart finally calmed down completely.

wonderful!
Wonderful! !
He couldn't help but applaud and cheer.

….………….….
When it was late at night, all the people returned.

What greeted them was pots of fragrant porridge.

At the same time, there were also some items issued by the imperial court.

Finally I made it through the day, everything is fine.

In Chang'an, laughter was heard after a long time.

By the next day, the people no longer needed to be led; they all walked spontaneously towards Coal Hill outside the city.

Moreover, as the day dawned and the sun came out, it gradually stopped.

This Coal Hill is very close to Chang'an.

Normally it is just a lonely little hill, but who would have thought that in just one day, this place would become bustling with traffic.

By evening, the first batch of honeycomb coal had reached the minimum conditions for combustion.

City God's Temple.

The fire has been lit.

Burning with a crackling sound.

Honeycomb briquettes, put them in.

The stove was very simple, made of a few stones, but the flames were already surging upwards like crazy.

The originally cold City God Temple finally had some nice warmth.

Everyone gathered around the fire.

The firelight illuminated each of their faces.

The youngest children were all staring at the stove in a trance, with smiles on their faces.

"Mr. Qin's method is really amazing. Who would have thought that in just two days, it has almost solved the heating problem of the entire Chang'an."

The leading child rubbed his belly and sighed with great emotion.

I just drank some porridge at the door, and now I still feel bloated.

Upon hearing this, the others nodded repeatedly.

"Who says it's not true? Not only that, I also feel that this porridge tastes different from the one given by the imperial court. This is what we earned through our labor."

Someone also said it with a smile.

Not only can the relief porridge be drunk by oneself, but each person can also get two servings.

In fact, if you divide it, these two parts can become three parts.

This is the standard amount to feed a family.

And if there are two people in a family who contribute, they can almost have enough to eat.

When you leave, you can also take back some honeycomb briquettes.

No matter how you look at it, you are making money.

This really makes the people who are working feel extremely grateful.

While feeling grateful, I also feel a sense of identity in my heart.

Master Qin did not regard them as victims of the disaster.

Look at this honeycomb coal, which he made with his own hands. He really made a contribution to Master Qin and the imperial court. They all drank this disaster relief porridge very comfortably.

"Hahaha... That being said, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the King of Chu, we wouldn't even have the opportunity to work. It was Master Qin who created all this for us. Even though it was earned through hard work, we must remember Master Qin's kindness in our hearts and never forget it."

"In my opinion, we all owe Mr. Qin a life."

The woman named Xiaohua spoke softly.

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaohua, I remember it. I remember it all."

"That's for sure. Anyway, I will never forget Mr. Qin's kindness in my life."

"Yes, yes, yes. This time, if it weren't for Master Qin, I don't know how many people in the world would have died."

"......."

Several people gathered around the fire, talking excitedly.

After a while, under the warmth, I felt sleepy.

Outside the tightly closed door of the City God Temple, it seemed that the heavy snow that had stopped for a day started falling again.

……….…….….
Tai Chi Palace.

A stove was placed in the middle.

The flames were about a foot high.

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and others were all surrounding him, their faces flushed with excitement, not concealing it at all.

After two days of busy work, honeycomb briquettes are on the right track.

And this honeycomb briquettes really fully demonstrate its characteristics.

So easy to make.

It also burns too easily.

"Your Majesty, now in Chang'an, I think every household is burning honeycomb coal. Those who don't probably don't need honeycomb coal anymore. They are all rich people."

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I really have to thank Master Qin this time. This honeycomb briquettes are absolutely amazing. They are made for the people."

Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Cheap, easy to use, simple, huh... From now on, people will no longer lack heating, and even enough for cooking."

Du Ruhui echoed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, honeycomb coal has been sent to the manors outside Wannian County and Chang'an County. It is sold very cheaply, only one penny for ten pieces. However, once this business is rolled out, the profits cannot be underestimated."

"The honeycomb coal produced by Meishan every day is enough to support the entire Chang'an for two days."

Li Jing reports.

The sword hanging over their heads was finally taken down.

It’s not easy!

They hardly slept for the past two days.

Li Shimin let out a long breath.

Nod.

"Okay, that's good!"

"No matter what, at least people won't feel cold this winter."

"Then, next, we just need to solve the problem of hunger."

Li Shimin's eyes were still extremely solemn.

But amidst the solemnity, there is also a sense of ease.
