At this time, there are very few ways to keep warm in winter.

Cotton has not yet been spread to the Central Plains, and no one knows the use of down. Rich and noble families have animal furs to make clothes to keep warm, while poor families have no choice but to keep warm by surrounding the fire.

Once this winter comes, there will be no shortage of people who will die of freezing.

The uncle picked up the brush and started writing and drawing on the paper.

After a while, the two drawings were completed, and the uncle of the junior master asked Jianpu to call another subordinate he valued.

This person is named Zhang Cheng, who is a native of Langya County. He also has another identity, Zhuge Liang's senior brother and his father's student.

The uncle valued him not because of his relationship with Mr. Kong Ming, but mainly because this person is really capable, especially in managing internal affairs.

After Zhang Cheng came, he bowed respectfully to his uncle.

Although the uncle of the junior teacher was young, he impressed Zhang Cheng with his real skills and talents.

Zhang Cheng thought that his junior brother Zhuge Liang was a genius, and there was only one such person in the world.

But now he knew that the world is so great that there are countless powerful and smart people, but he is narrow-minded.

"Zi Xun, look at this drawing." The uncle of the junior teacher handed the drawing to Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng took it with anticipation.

It is true that every time the drawings drawn by this young master can make good things to improve people's livelihood, which makes everyone look forward to his drawings.

The uncle of the junior master drew the drawings in detail and made annotations next to him. Zhang Cheng could see clearly, so he was naturally extremely surprised.

"If every family has built this kang and this smoke duct, then you will not be afraid of the cold in winter."

The uncle of the junior teacher smiled and said, "I'm going to trouble me for this matter."

Zhang Cheng hurriedly said: "Sir is helping Cheng and delivering the credit to Cheng. Cheng is grateful, so why bother?"

Promoting the kang is like increasing crop yields, which is beneficial to the country and the people. His reputation will be spread with the kang. No one will remember him thousands of years later.

This is a good thing to keep your name in history!

How could he not be grateful if the uncle gave him such an opportunity?

Zhang Cheng left with the drawings. He was anxious and formed a construction team to build a fire kang for the county charity hall.

The charity hall was taken a step aside after the uncle came. The people who were doing things were all lonely and widowed, and the people who were taking in orphans of all ages.

Because the Yellow Turban Army was in trouble and because of the poverty of the family, there were not too few orphans, and they became beggars and died before they could grow up.

After the uncle of the junior teacher bought the charity hall, the beggars in Lalangya County had a way out. Even the adult beggars were also incorporated into work by the uncle of the junior teacher to do their jobs. They could eat and wear food and wear it, and they could have a full meal every day. Although it was hard, it was much better than being a beggar. At least you don’t have to worry about when they would die.

What are you afraid of when you work hard? Who didn’t work hard?

If not, there is no way? Who is willing to be a beggar?

They are more willing to work hard and be good at it?

Once the kang in the charity hall was built, many nearby families came to see it and felt the warmth of the kang with their own eyes.

With the kang and the flue, the whole room is warm.

Those families asked Zhang Cheng about the price of building a fire kang.

Zhang Cheng asked these people to bring their own materials, and their wages were very low. The masons' rewards were all "robbed the rich and helped the poor". They built a kang for wealthy families, and the wages would definitely not be less. If these people wanted to learn how to build a kang, Zhang Cheng would also ask the masons to teach those people.

The bricklayers don’t hide their own personalities. Originally, this is not their ability, but the adults teach them. With this skill, they have made a lot of money from wealthy families, so they should be satisfied.

This kind of kang is a life-saving thing for poor families, and it should be promoted in poor families so that everyone can survive the cold winter in warmth.

Before winter came, every household in Langya County had a fire kang.

The uncle of the junior master drew another drawing and sent it to Tao Qian. After that, the people in Xuzhou built a fire kang at the homes of the whole family.

The names of Zhang Cheng and Tao Qian were spread all over the world as the fire kang were spread. They were thanked by the people, and some people even set up the eternal card for them.

The "inventor" of the kang is hidden behind the scenes.

At this stage, the uncle just wants to develop in a vulgar way and let Tao Qian serve as a shield for himself.

The uncle is now playing brain teasers with a child.

The uncle of the junior teacher asked: What do officials, wealthy businessmen and farmers rely on for their income?

The child replied: Count on his mouth.

The uncle asked: What can you go around the world without feet?

The child replied: Boat.

The uncle of the junior teacher asked: There is a poisonous snake in the forest, but it never bites people. Why?

The child replied: Because there is no one in the forest.

The uncle asked:...

The child answered:...

The uncle gave a thumbs up and was worthy of being the future Mr. Wolong.

Little Zhuge Liang came with Zhang Cheng.

His home was also built with a kang. When his sick father lay down, he felt much more comfortable and his condition seemed to have improved.

Little Zhuge Liang was grateful to the person who came up with the fire kang and was even more curious about how this person came up with such a good thing, so he begged Zhang Cheng to bring him to see the uncle of the junior teacher.

When the uncle saw Kong Ming, who was only over seven years old, he was still a little excited. After all, this person was so famous and smart.

Look, these brain teasers will not be able to defeat the future Prime Minister of Shu.

The meeting between the uncle and the young Zhuge was pleasant. Both of them were smart people and the communication was very smooth. Xiao Zhuge had many thoughts in his mind, which seemed unrealistic to others, but the uncle understood it very well.

Then little Zhuge felt that he had found a confidant.

As the two talked, they talked about Zhuge Liang's Zhuge Gui.

Zhuge Gui once served as the governor of Taishan County, but because of his health, he quit his official position and went home to recuperate. However, the effect of recuperation was not very good, and the condition did not improve, but it tended to worsen.

Fortunately, there was a kang this winter, otherwise Zhuge Gui would have gone directly if he could not resist the cold of winter.

The uncle of the junior teacher thought of historical records that Zhuge Gui died when Zhuge Liang was eight years old.

Zhuge Shi is now seven years old, but he is eight years old to the outside world.

I didn't expect that the appearance of the kang could change Zhuge Gui's life and death. I just don't know how long he could last. Will Zhuge leave Langya with his uncle?

After that, Xiao Zhuge ran to the uncle's side every day, and the two became very good friends. No matter what the uncle wanted to do, he would not hide it from Xiao Zhuge. When he saw something that Xiao Zhuge was curious about, he would also give Xiao Zhuge a detailed explanation.
