"Heater? What is heater? "
In the ninth courtyard of Yunshan, Li Gang looked at Li Zexuan and asked curiously.
"Hehe, Mr. Li, this heater is something that can make the house as warm as spring. Compared to burning charcoal, the warmth provided by this thing is more comfortable and safer! You will be able to feel it after it is installed! "
As Li Zexuan spoke, he called for Pang Feiji to bring people to install the heater in Li Gang's house. These people were all experienced now and could do it without his command.
"Thank you, Yamachō!"
Li Gang was touched. Regardless of whether the heater was good or not, just the fact that Li Zexuan had brought people here and put in so much effort was enough to move him.
"Brother Xiao Xuan, can these iron pipes make the house warm? But it's clearly cold when I touch it! "
Li Zexuan had said that it was magical, so he ran over to touch the heater pipe, but …
Li Zexuan couldn't help but laugh. "Haha! Of course it's cold now. An Ren, wait for a while. After they install it, you can touch it again. It definitely won't be cold! "
"Oh! Then I'll touch it later! "
Compared to the Li Residence, which occupied a huge area, the courtyard in Yun Shan was not considered big. Therefore, Pang Feiji and the others used less than two hours to install the heater in Li Gang's house.
Li Zexuan ordered, "Light it! Try to see if it leaks! "
"Yes, Marquis!"
Pang Feiji went to light the heater with ease. After about half an hour, the heater finally started burning. Li Zexuan's people quickly entered the house to check the pipes. After a while, after confirming that all the pipes were fine, Li Zexuan said to Li Gang,
"Mr. Li, it's done! In the future, you just need to instruct the servants to put honeycomb coal in the boiler after a period of time, and it will ensure that the house is always warm! Now, you and An Ren can go in and experience it! "
Although Li Gang had studied Confucianism all his life, he had been in Yanhuang College for so long. Even if he wasn't proficient in engineering, he could still understand some of the things related to engineering. When he saw Pang Feiji and the rest install the heater, Li Gang could roughly guess the operating principle of the heater.
"Hehe! Yamachō's creativity is unprecedented! On behalf of my An Ren, this old man would like to thank the mountain head for his trouble! "
Li Gang politely cupped his hands and said.
"Mr. Li, don't be in a hurry, let's try it first!"
Li Zexuan extended his right hand and made an inviting gesture.
"Okay! An Ren, let's go! Let's go in! "
Li Gang pulled his son and walked into the house.
While they were gossiping outside, the heater in the house had already heated up. Although it was not as warm as spring, they could still feel the warm air blowing against their faces when they walked in. Obviously, the inside of the house and outside of the house were two different worlds!
"Wow! Grandfather, this house is so warm! "
Li Anren exclaimed and said excitedly.
"This thing works too fast!"
Li Gang was also a little surprised. He turned to look at Li Zexuan, his face full of shock.
Although he had roughly guessed the operating principle of the heater, he didn't expect it to work so quickly!
"Hehe! It will be even warmer in a while! I have some other things to do in the afternoon, so I'll take my leave first! If there's anything wrong with the heater, just send someone to let me know, Sir! "
After seeing that everything was fine, Li Zexuan said goodbye. He still had to go to Plum Village in the afternoon to "send warmth" to the villagers!
"Okay! Take care, Yamachō! "
Li Gang nodded.
"Brother Xiao Xuan, why don't you have a cup of hot water before you go?"
At this time, Li Anren walked over with a cup of hot water that was emitting white steam. Li Zexuan was afraid that the child would accidentally burn himself, so he hurriedly stepped forward and took the teacup, saying, "Anren, be good! You're all grown up now, so you have to take care of your grandfather, okay? "
"Okay! An Ren will definitely! "
…
After coming down from Yunshan, Li Zexuan went to the workshop to get a few carts of "warmth" and continued to "send warmth".
The students of Yanhuang College weren't idle either. Needless to say, the students of the second brigade had been rushing around in their carriages since morning. Unlike Li Zexuan's situation, the villagers on the list they got from the government rarely lived together, so they had to travel a long distance to deliver the warmth. Naturally, it wasn't as convenient as Li Zexuan's method of delivering the warmth from door to door!
After more than a day of hard work, the first brigade was almost done contacting the government. Li Tai now had a list of the poor people in more than 20 counties near Chang 'an. In total, there were about 20,000 households! What was even more amusing was that Li Tai even received a list of "poor people" from some counties not near Chang 'an. They hoped that Li Tai could ask the foundation to help them!
Li Tai could only put the list aside helplessly. Their mission now was mainly in Chang 'an City and the 20 counties around Chang' an!
According to the current speed of the second brigade's "warmth" delivery, it would take at least a month to send all the poor people on the list! There were less than twenty days left until the new year. Li Tai wanted to help all the poor families before the new year. Therefore, in the afternoon, he brought more than a hundred people from the first brigade and joined the second brigade. More than five hundred students followed the name list and started their journey of "sending warmth" again!
Li Tai could do this mainly because Li Zexuan had already completed the task of collecting the list for the first brigade.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Including the first day, the students had actually been "warm messengers" for four days. In these four days, the speed of their "warmth" gradually increased. On the first day, they sent 800 families. On the second day, they sent 1,200 families. On the third day, they sent 1,500 families. On the fourth day, they sent 2,000 families. In total, they sent 5,500 families!
On the morning of the fifth day, when the students gathered in front of the teaching building, Li Zexuan looked at the group of children. Although they looked tired, their eyes were full of determination and perseverance. He couldn't help but say loudly, "I know that these four days have been very hard for you. You have traveled mountains and rivers, you have braved the cold wind, and many of you have blisters on the soles of your feet. But until now, no one has quit. You are all good! I, Li Zexuan, am very proud to have a group of students like you!
Do you still remember what I said at the beginning of school? I said that the purpose of Yanhuang College was to "establish a heart for heaven and earth, and establish a life for the people." Now you have done it. What you are doing now is to establish a heart for heaven and earth, and establish a life for the people. This year's winter in Chang 'an City is not too cold because of your efforts! "
