The inner voice was overheard, and the whole court was eating melons together

Eunuch Wang: "Minister Song, the emperor has allowed you to rest in the palace for three days because he thinks you have been working hard during this period."

When Minister Song heard this, he understood what the emperor meant and said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

As the emperor's subject for so many years, Minister Song certainly knew what the emperor meant.

Song Yaoyao exchanged such a large batch of supplies. Once she finds a place to deliver them, she will ask Guagua to deliver them to the designated place.

At that time, Song Yaoyao will definitely tell Minister Song the location of the drop as soon as possible. Minister Song must stay in the mansion for these three days and wait for news from Song Yaoyao.

Why not have someone secretly follow Song Yaoyao? Wouldn't it be quicker to find out the location of the material drop-off?

Of course it’s because of Gua Gua.

As long as Guagua is there, if they follow him, Guagua will definitely know it first.

After returning home, Song Yaoyao called Ying Mingkang.

After returning to the capital for so long, Song Yaoyao has never asked Ying Mingkang to do anything. Ying Mingkang thought that Song Yaoyao had forgotten him, and he even went to look for Song Yaoyao.

Song Yaoyao told him to be patient as the New Year was coming soon and they could talk about everything after the New Year.

Today, Song Yaoyao called Ying Mingkang, and he was still confused. Didn't they say that they would discuss everything after the new year? Did they change their minds again?

Song Yaoyao had no idea what Ying Mingkang was thinking, and said:

"Go find a remote yard and ask someone to rent it. Remember, don't rent it in your name, find someone else you can trust to rent it.

The yard must be big enough.

Keep things secret and don’t let others know.”

Song Yaoyao just wanted to do good things quietly, but didn't want to cause a stir.

"Miss, what is the yard used for? Once I know its purpose, I will know what kind of yard is suitable to rent?"

Since Ying Mingkang was asked to handle this matter, Song Yaoyao did not hide it and said:

"I plan to store 5 kilograms of food, as well as some cotton clothes and quilts.

The house must be clean and moisture-proof.”

Ying Mingkang was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Song Yaoyao was going to do, but he still replied, "Yes."

Then he left.

A day later, Ying Mingkang came to tell Song Yaoyao that the yard had been rented.

Song Yaoyao went to the rented yard alone. The yard was big and the room was clean.

Song Yaoyao: [Guagua, please release all those supplies. ]

Guagua: [Okay, host.]

In an instant, several rooms were filled up.

Song Yaoyao took a look, found no problem, locked the door and left.

The first thing Song Yaoyao did when she returned home was to write a note. She used the old method and wrapped a stone with a ball of paper. Inside the ball of paper was a blueprint of a kang, which she then stamped directly on the door of Minister Song's study.

Song Yaoyao watched her father pick up the note before she returned to her yard with peace of mind. The rest of the matters were not her business.

After reading the note, Minister Song handed it to the secret guard, who immediately returned to the palace.

The emperor looked at the note and immediately sent someone to the address written on it...

The emperor picked up another drawing of a heated kang and immediately sent someone to call the Minister of Works, Master Meiszemei...

When Lord Mei arrived, the Emperor handed him the blueprint and said:

"Look, this is the blueprint of the kang.

Why don’t you build a kang according to the blueprint and try it out to see how it works?

If the effect is really good, I will immediately send someone to send the blueprint to the northwest."

"Yes."

Although he had seen modern heated kangs, the emperor was still very cautious and wanted to have someone try it himself before promoting it.

……

After Lord Mei left, he had a kang built in the Ministry of Works.

When the kang was heated up, Lord Mei sat on it himself. His originally cold body soon warmed up, and soon his whole body was warm.

Lord Mei had someone bring in a low table so he could sit on it and work. It was so comfortable.

The other officials from the Ministry of Works all wanted to go up to the kang and give it a try, but since Lord Mei didn't give the order, they could only think about it.

After the experiment, Lord Mei did not dare to delay and immediately went to the palace to report the matter to the emperor.

The emperor listened to Master Mei's report and felt itchy. He went to the Ministry of Industry to try it out himself. It was exactly as described in the video...

After the emperor returned, he immediately sent the blueprint of the heated kang to the northwest, and also sent it to government offices across the country...

When the dignitaries in the capital heard that the officials from the Ministry of Works were full of praise for the kang, they all submitted petitions hoping that the emperor would arrange for someone to build kangs in their homes and they would pay for it.

The emperor did not expect such a pleasant surprise.

The business came to the door, so there was no reason not to accept it. So the emperor agreed and let the Ministry of Industry take charge of this matter...

There are many masters in the mansions of the powerful and wealthy, and one kang can generate more than a dozen kangs. This is not a small income. The emperor said that all the money earned from making kangs will be used for disaster relief in the northwest!

In addition to the powerful and wealthy, the common people also heard about this and wanted to build a kang at home, but the price was too expensive.

After the emperor learned about this, the price of kangs for the people became much cheaper. They were just simple kangs without any decorations on the edges.

In the capital, there was a craze for building a heated kang for a while...

While the rich and powerful were still waiting for their own heated kangs, the ones in the imperial palace had already been put into use.

There are many masters in the palace, and all concubines of a certain rank have a kang in the palace.

At this moment, the emperor was sitting on the heated kang, reviewing memorials, with a pot of hot tea brewing on the low table. It was such a comfortable day...

At the same time, in Beijing, several ladies from prominent families held charity sales and donated all the proceeds to the Northwest disaster relief effort.

In addition, the emperor has already seen the batch of materials that Song Yaoyao traded with the system. The quality of the rice is better than the tribute rice, the flour is also snow-white, and the cotton-padded clothes and quilts are very thick.

The emperor ordered that all rice and flour be replaced with coarse grains. One pound of this quality rice and flour could be exchanged for three pounds of coarse grains, so that more food could be exchanged and more aid could be provided to the people. All the food was sent to the northwest...

The emperor ordered the locals to open their granaries and release grain, clear the roads, and let every household build a kang...

The problem of the cold disaster has been almost solved.

Princess Jiahe provided the blueprint for the kang and donated so many supplies. She made an invaluable contribution in this disaster relief effort. The emperor wanted to reward her with something!

When Song Yaoyao received the reward, she was a little confused. How did she get the reward?

The reward was delivered personally by Eunuch Wang.

Song Yaoyao pulled Eunuch Wang aside, stuffed a purse into his hand, and asked:

"Eunuch Wang, why did the emperor reward me?"

Eunuch Wang smiled and said:

"The princess should know clearly what she has done recently."
