The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 180: Creations that benefit the country and the people

Shen Jiarou glanced at Ruan Qingling, Zhen Luosang, Zhang Zirou, and Zheng Shutong, gave them a look, and the four of them stepped forward and placed the snacks one by one.

Seeing the rich snacks, the ministers were surprised.

How many varieties are there?

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty also found it curious.

"What is all this?"

"Raisins, dried sweet potatoes, dried yams, dried kiwis, persimmons, and dried peaches."

At this time, Zheng Shutong had just taken out a pot of osmanthus tea. Li Jiang was close to it and a scent of osmanthus wafted over.

"Isn't this osmanthus tea?"

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and nodded, "Yes, I specially asked someone to brew a pot of it."

When the ministers heard this, their eyes became jealous.

Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty took in the looks of the people and said, "As expected, my daughter is more considerate. Let's have a taste together."

The prince took a persimmon cake and ate it. It was sweet and tasted good.

"Yi Yi, your persimmon cake is pretty good."

Shen Jiarou smiled and said, "My prince, you have good taste. This persimmon cake is also a good thing. It can improve digestion, enhance the body's immunity, replenish energy and nutrition, moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, and protect eyesight."

Everyone was stunned when they heard so many benefits, and Prince Rong even picked one up and started eating.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty listened to the little girl talking with a smile in his eyes.

"You understand more and more."

Shen Jiarou sighed, "There's nothing I can do. I have to make money."

Everyone who was eating snacks was stunned: Isn’t the princess very rich?

Prince Rong sneered, "Fourth sister, is it because the weather is cold that business at Xianyan Tower is slow?"

Shen Jiarou nodded slightly. "Not only that, but they all have an impact, mainly because the weather is too cold. I wasn't in a hurry to make money, but I spent too much before, so I have to make some money to turn around the funds."

The prince understood as soon as he heard it, but he didn't know what his sister's purpose was in coming this time.

"Father, do you think these foods are delicious? How about I sell them?"

When the ministers heard this, they were delighted: this is a great feeling, they also want to experience it from time to time.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty ate the dried sweet potatoes and enjoyed them.

"It's pretty good. You can try it. It might sell well."

He knew why the little girl wanted to make money, but the national treasury was scarce at the moment, so he had to let her down.

When Prince Rong heard this, he thought that these foods would be a big seller and made a half-joking comment.

"If the Fourth Imperial Sister has too many, she can sell some to the First Imperial Brother's shop."

Shen Jiarou shook her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, my great brother. The production is not large, and our shop can only buy a limited amount."

The Minister of Industry suddenly spoke up, "May I ask what is the daily limit, Princess?"

"Ten pounds, maybe." There are more than a thousand pounds in the mansion. If he sells ten pounds a day, he can sell a thousand pounds in more than three months, and he can take the rest as snacks.

When everyone heard this, they frowned slightly.

The prince knew that things are valuable because they are rare, so he nodded in agreement, "How long can it last?"

"It won't be sold after March."

The Crown Prince and Prince Rong grasped the key word, "not selling it anymore"?

There must be more.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty ate different snacks, his emotions had long since calmed down. Thinking of the thorny matter, he looked at the bright and cute little girl.

"Yi Yi, Father, I have a question for you. You said that the people are cold in winter. How should we solve this problem?"

Shen Jiarou was stunned. “?”

"Wear thicker clothes, or make a fire, but you'll need enough charcoal and firewood."

The Minister of Revenue quickly asked, "What if neither of these two options works?"

Shen Jiarou frowned: None of them work?

"Then lie in bed, it should be warm enough."

The prince understood something and thought that these ministers might be just like his father, who wanted to listen to his younger sister more.

The Minister of Revenue choked, smiled awkwardly and shut up.

"Princess, the people's conditions are not very good. They may not be allowed to wear thick clothes. We need to buy charcoal and firewood.

As for lying in bed, it seems that if the quilt is not thick enough, it won’t work either.”

This question really stumped Shen Jiarou, and she spread her hands, feeling somewhat helpless.

Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty was amused by her cute actions. "Yi Yi, think about it carefully."

Shen Jiarou sighed softly, "Heat up the kang, but it's so cold today, I'm afraid not many people would want to go out."

Everyone was confused: What does burning the pit mean?

The Minister of Industry bowed and said, "Please enlighten me, Princess."

"You make that kind of bed pit, then heat it up, wait for it to cool down, and then you can lie on it directly to keep it warm. However, the technology is not particularly mature, and very few people know how to do it."

Everyone was amazed when they heard this, it seemed possible.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty looked at the little girl with surprise. Shen Jiarou raised her eyes to meet the gaze of her father and remained silent for a while.

"Is there anything ready?"

Hearing her father's question, Shen Jiarou nodded slightly.

"There are both the County Lord's Mansion and the Princess's Mansion. Do you want to go and see them, Father?"

After saying this, she wanted to slap herself. It was so cold today. Was she crazy?

Emperor Yuan Shun thought for a moment and stood up, "Okay, let's go."

Shen Jiarou stood there in a daze, "Huh?"

The princess's mansion is closest to the imperial city, so everyone went there first.

Nanny Su was surprised to see a group of people getting off the carriage.

"Your servant greets His Majesty, the Crown Prince, Prince Rong, the Princess, and all the adults."

Nanny Wang heard the noise and was rushing over here.

A group of people walked straight to the backyard, with Shen Jiarou leading the way.

"Father, there."

When everyone looked at it, they thought it was just a couch, what was so special about it?

The prince walked over and looked around, finally lifting the silk quilt, and found that it was still a wooden bed. He was confused for a moment.

“Sister, didn’t you say it was a hot pit?”

He looked no different.

"Zirou, Shutong, go move the quilt and the coffee table away."

The two men obeyed the order, and when the empty wooden bed was fully revealed, everyone felt that there was nothing different.

"Move the bed frame away."

The two continued to dismantle the bed, dividing it into several parts and putting them aside.

Prince Rong was stunned when he saw the earth pit. "It really is a pit."

"Madam Su, go and arrange for someone to burn charcoal."

"Toki, Princess."

While waiting, Elemental Frost brought tea.

"Father, please sit down for a while. This will take some time."

Everyone sat down, the prince picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling that the taste was a bit strange.

"What kind of tea is this? Why does it taste like ginger?"

Elemental Frost explained in a gentle voice, "Your Highness, this is ginger and jujube tea. The princess said it can dispel the cold and warm the stomach. It is perfect for drinking in winter."

The prince sighed at his daughter's thoughtfulness, "The people in your house are quite considerate."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty agreed, "Your Highness is right. Your Majesty has taught me well."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and didn't say much.

Everyone watched the old women busying around for a long time, and Prince Rong finally couldn't help himself and stood up to check.

"Fourth sister, what on earth is going on here?"

All the ministers also looked at the girl who was sitting and drinking tea, only to see her stand up calmly.

"The principle is very simple. You can cut a hole and burn charcoal or firewood. But for the common people, firewood is more convenient."

After all, charcoal is more expensive than firewood.

The prince walked over and touched the pit, feeling the warmth, and vaguely understood.

"It's better to burn this in advance. If it's a commoner's house, you can pour the charcoal used for cooking into it. It's clean and makes the best use of it. There's no smoke, and the air won't be blocked."

After thinking for a while, Shen Jiarou continued, "Or we can open a chimney to let the smoke from the firewood out."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. This was definitely a creation that would benefit the country and the people.
