"Palaces, warehouses, and temples have always been the places most susceptible to water leakage. The main buildings of this dynasty are all made of wood, especially palaces and temples. At first glance, you can see that the pillars and beams are all made of wood, which is flammable and prone to water leakage."

"The method of fire extinguishing in this dynasty is limited and difficult to operate. We can only send more manpower to places where water is easy to escape. Therefore, the equipment and manpower of Wuhoupu in various places are very different. The official has seen the location of the Prince Consort's house.

Many houses are in areas where manpower is weakest."

Qin Feng really likes Zheng Xiao's way of speaking. He doesn't blink when he comes up and talks about everything.

If you think about it carefully, this may be the difference between civil servants and military officers. Isn't Guo Shitong also a straight man? How could he sell the third prince so easily?

Qin Feng nodded and said: "That's true. The building materials of palaces and temples are flammable and easy to spread. Warehouses are also a top priority. Among other things, the armory should be the focus of your Wuhou Pu's defense."

Seeing Qin Feng's understanding, Zheng Xiao felt relieved. He was not afraid of anything else. Wasn't he afraid that the consort would make him do something embarrassing because of his status?

Then I heard Qin Feng say: "The temple has a large flow of people, and the incense is also a hidden danger. After all, the residential area is for home use, and the risks of water leakage are the same - man-made accidents, robbers, and natural disasters."

"I have never seen Wuhoupu put out a fire before in this dynasty. I don't know how to operate the leather bag and the anti-splash pipe. Please give me some advice, Mr. Zheng."

When he talked about the work in his profession, Zheng Xiao got excited: "Actually, a foot-long bamboo is passed through the middle and sewn into a large leather bag. This bag can store three or four pieces of water."

Qin Feng quickly calculated in his mind how much three or four pieces of water would cost. One piece of water is equivalent to about one hundred and twenty pounds. The amount of water in that bag is about five kilograms, which is also the maximum water storage value.

"Put bamboo into it, and when squeezed, water will flow out along the bamboo tube to extinguish the fire." Zheng Xiao said: "This is also the best method for extinguishing fires in this dynasty."

"It sounds like the principle is not difficult." Qin Feng knew it well: "Since Wuhoupu has limited manpower, I can make some homemade ones and put them in the house, and give them a firefighting training after the candidates move in."

Zheng Xiao was taking a sip of wine when he was suddenly stunned: "Xiao, fire training? What is this?"

"This is not a thing, but a guide to explain to the candidates how to prevent water from leaking, and how to use a leather bag and a splash-proof pipe to extinguish the fire by themselves after the water leaks, so that they can save themselves and prevent the fire from spreading before Wuhoupu arrives."

After hearing what Qin Feng said, Zheng Xiao suddenly slapped his thigh: "Yes, why didn't you think of this trick? Although it has been preached in the past, it has never been popularized in every household. If Wuhoupu also does this for fire protection,

Training, isn’t it wonderful?”

Qin Feng thought that it would be quite good to have the concept of preaching. In this dynasty with underdeveloped media, it would not be so easy for all the people to pay attention to fire protection. As he said, those flammable places and key protection places should be stricter.

That's not bad.

Huang Tang, who had been silent, said: "According to what the consort said, it would be better if every household could learn how to use leather bags and anti-splash tubes, and have fire extinguishing tools at home. Your Wuhou Pu will not be reviled all the time."

When Zheng Xiao heard this, he felt a little confused. It wasn't that they didn't want to put out the fire, but the manpower and tools were limited. Most of the buildings in this dynasty were made of wood. It would be terrible for the fire to spread.

Small water leaks are easy to deal with, but large water leaks are often exhausting and the results are not good. People suffer losses, either in terms of property or people. Can we not spread the flames on them?

Therefore, everyone knows that the work in Wuhoupu is not easy to do. Many people who passed the martial arts examination received documents and knew that they were assigned to Wuhoupu. They all had sad faces. Not to mention the low official position, the salary was small. This is always the case.

Being scolded is nothing.

When this matter was mentioned, Zheng Xiao became bitter. He was careless and almost numb after being in charge of Wu Houpu for so many years.

Now that he heard what Huang Tang and Qin Feng said, he seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and instantly knew where to go. He was excited, picked up the wine glass and looked at Qin Feng: "Prince-in-law, after listening to your words, win, win...

…”

"It's better than studying for ten years." Huang Tang added unhurriedly, his expression did not change, he was obviously used to it.

"Just listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Prince Consort, rest assured. Where there are enough manpower, I will definitely let my subordinates keep an eye on the Prince Consort's house to prevent leaks. Where there is insufficient manpower, I will also send people to the door."

Teach candidates how to put out fires."

Zheng Xiao patted his chest again and said, "I will write a memorial when I go back to my official position tonight!"

When Huang Tang heard this, he smiled: "Do you want to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to lend money so that every household can buy a set of leather bags and splash-proof tubes? As a colleague, I suggest you not to do this. Now that there is a severe cold in the north, the Zhenbei Army is eager to replenish its armaments. His Majesty is

I will strictly hold the household department responsible for this."

As expected of being a good friend for many years, Zheng Xiao’s true nature cannot be hidden from Huang Tang. Zheng Xiao thinks that it is good to buy one for every household.

It's fine for rich families to prepare their own supplies, but what about some poor families? So it's not a bad idea to let the public provide for them. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Household Affairs is currently worried about the Zhenbei Army. How can we take such a small thing to heart?

?

If you are not careful, you may offend Long Yan and cause dissatisfaction from the household department, so why bother?

"The fire training that the consort mentioned can be petitioned in writing. If you want some silver, you'd better save the money." Huang Tang did not hesitate to attack Zheng Xiao's hasty thoughts.

Qin Feng looked at Zheng Xiao, who looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, and said with a smile: "Actually, if it is widely popularized, it would not be a bad idea to make homemade leather bags and anti-splash tubes. This dynasty has not stipulated that these items are prohibited or cannot be used by civilians."

Seeing Huang Tang nodding, he continued: "So it would be great if we could explain to the people how to make and use it. The most expensive thing is the leather bag. This can be measured by the people themselves. Mr. Zheng will do his job with all his heart.

Already."

After these words were very submissive, Zheng Xiao's regrets became lighter. Thinking of his young official status and being soft-spoken, he sighed.

"Among the old people in power in the court now, Prime Minister Song is still like this..." Zheng Xiao met Huang Tang's warning eyes at the beginning. He shrank his shoulders, and the emperor's son-in-law was sitting opposite him.

What are these?

He touched his nose in embarrassment, and Qin Feng smiled and said: "What a coincidence, I also think the Song family father and son are good. I have a lot of contacts with the Song Dynasty Minister. They are hard-working people. My father is really wise in promoting them.

.”

Seeing that even Qin Feng agreed with his statement, Zheng Xiao proudly raised his chin to Huang Tang to show off.

Huang Tang just smiled, but Qin Feng had a new understanding of Huang Tang. When he just stopped Zheng Xiao, his face was solemn. He was obviously a person who knew the importance. Although he was more upright and clear-minded, he must have extraordinary talents.

Let Xiao Lingyao join the camp.
