Many people around Chang'an fainted while working, especially in the Bashang area, where a flood washed away the fields due to busy farming.

In order to save the fields in time, the villagers on Ba can only seize the time to reclaim the fields.

Many people fainted from dehydration, and even died.

Dali Temple reported that the cause was that he was killed by heat.

Li Shimin was furious in the court meeting, and issued a decree that anyone who dared to use coolies in the summer would be severely punished, and those who worked hard to collect people's labor were found out and brought into Dali Temple!

Hearing this, the ministers below whispered.

It seems that the tenants on the Ba are going to be out of luck.

"Remember that land is the land of the eldest grandson Wuji."

"After being washed away by the flood, I sold it to others cheaply."

"It's a shame to sell it like this."

……

Li Shimin sat on the throne and watched the ministers discuss, the eldest grandson Wuji had not come to the court for a long time.

Du Ruhui stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this. ”

Wei Zheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty thinks about the people, and the minister thinks it's right." ”

Du Ruhui continued: "If it is because Chang'an does not produce in the summer, how many workshops will be shut down, and how many people will not be able to earn money to support their families. ”

Wei Zheng said: "If there are frequent deaths, how can the people be at ease." ”

Cheng Yanjin was also sweating when he stood in the court, and his court clothes were almost soaked, which was the hot Taiji Hall like a steamer in the morning.

"Your Majesty!" A speech official stood up and said: "Thousands of people are building houses in Jingyang County every day, should the Hou of Jingyang County be punished for using so much coolie!" ”

There was another discussion in the court, and many people in Chang'an knew that Li was building a large construction project in Jingyang.

Before, no one said anything about reclamation, but now it's for building houses.

And at this juncture, the nature is completely different.

Yanguan said again: "If Jingyang does not stop work and let Chang'an stop work, there will definitely be people in the market who will not agree." ”

After listening to this official, Cheng Yanjin asked Qin Qiong beside him in a low voice, "Who is this person?" ”

Qin Qiong endured sweat and said from her eyelids: "Looking at Miansheng, but listening to the words is indeed directed at Li Zheng." ”

The courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty discussed, and what Du Ruhui said was also right, how many people in Chang'an relied on finding work to earn money to support their families.

If there is a shutdown, how many people will not be able to earn money.

Wei Zheng is also right, if more and more people are heated, there will definitely be problems.

Cheng Yanjin wiped his sweat, "This weather is so hot!" ”

The clothes were soaked with sweat, and the clothes were very uncomfortable against the body.

However, in so many places, there is a phenomenon of heat dizziness, so there is nothing to do in Jingyang.

Li Shimin opened his mouth and said: "Cen text! ”

Cen Wenwen bowed down and walked out of the court, "The minister is here." ”

"You go to investigate, no matter inside and outside Chang'an City, there is a phenomenon of forced conscription of coolies to kill people, and they will not be punished."

"Commandment."

"Retreat!"

After everyone walked out of the Taiji Palace, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Yanjin held his collar to dispel the heat and said, "It would be nice if I could eat a bite of ice this day." ”

Qin Qiong wiped her sweat all the way and said, "It's really hard to have a hard time. ”

Jingyang, under the scorching sun, the distant scenery is distorted.

Sun Simiao was very busy, and he saw a doctor early in the morning, and many people around Chang'an fainted due to heat stroke.

More and more people are sending it to Jingyang.

Li Tai, who was outside the Jingyang Medical Center, looked at Li Zheng putting saltpeter in the water shed, "You say that this can really make ice out of thin air?" ”

Li Zheng stared at the saltpeter in the basin and said with some bubbles, "It should be possible." ”

The historical record of saltpeter ice formation is in the late Tang Dynasty.

Li Zheng watched the change of the water, and took out some thin ice chips and put them in front of Li Tai.

"Is it really ice?"

Li Tai took the ice and was about to put it in his mouth, but Li Zheng hurriedly stopped him and said, "You can't eat this ice, you will have trouble with your stomach if you eat it." ”

Li Zheng put bowls of mung bean soup into a basin of water, and it was good to chill it.

Half an hour later, Li Zheng took a sip of a bowl of chilled mung bean soup, "Sure enough, it's still cold." ”

Li Tai also took a bowl and drank it into his mouth and sighed: "The happiest thing in life is nothing more than this." ”

Li Yifu ran over and said, "County marquis, the officers and soldiers came and said that they wanted to check the village. ”

Li Tai ate mung bean soup and said, "Which officer and soldier dare to come to Jingyang to make trouble?" Bring it here. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the person had already come to the front, Cen Wenwen walked up to Li Tai and saluted and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei." ”

"Cen text?" Li Tai stood up curiously, "You don't compile the clan chronicles and the chronicles of the land, what are you doing here?" ”

Cen Wenwen said with a smile: "Your Majesty has an order for the lower officials to come to check the situation in various places, especially Jingyang, it is said that the Marquis of Jingyang County is building a lot of construction, and the labor used is also the most in Chang'an. ”

Li Tai's face was strange, and he knew in his heart that there was indeed a place where people had died of heat recently, but the people in Jingyang were all good.

Li Zhengduan gave Cen Wenwen a bowl of mung bean soup.

"Xie Jingyang County Marquis, Xia Guan has long wanted to quench his thirst." Cen Wenwen took a sip of mung bean soup and said, "Chilled? ”

After speaking, Cen Wen poured it down.

"Finished drinking?"

Cen Wenwen nodded.

Li Zheng glanced at it and said, "There's really not a drop left." ”

Cen Wenwen let out a sigh of enjoyment, "It's really rare to be able to drink such refreshing mung bean soup in this hot summer. ”

"Another bowl?"

Cen Wenwen nodded vigorously, "Okay." ”

Li Zheng took out another bowl from the basin and gave it to Cen Wenwen.

Taking the cold mung bean soup, Cen Wenwen poured it down again, "Happy." ”

"Finished drinking again? Would you like another bowl? ”

Cen Wenwen waved his hand and said, "It's full." ”

"It's a total of two pennies, and a big bowl for one penny is already a good deal."

Cen Wenwen's smile stiffened on his face: "This ......"

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Don't say that I paid you a bribe." ”

Cen Wenwen said with some embarrassment: "Xia Guan didn't bring any money when he went out. ”

Li Tai gave Li Zheng a look, people are here to inspect, you Li Zheng is good, not only do you not please others, but also ask people to collect money.

As soon as he felt that Li Zheng was clever, he immediately turned his face and asked for money.

Li Zheng said again: "It doesn't matter if you don't have money, please advertise me." ”

"What advertisement?"

"It's just a advertisement, and it should be useful for you to speak."

Cen Wenwen said with a wry smile: "Where is it, the county marquis is the Pingzhang matter of Zhongshu Province, according to reason, your official rank is higher than mine, where do you dare to be." ”

Li Zheng pulled Cen Wenwen aside and said: "Actually, it's not a difficult matter, you can tell the truth about our Jingyang County, and it is better to let more people know about it, and the iced mung bean soup I have here can drink a big bowl for only a penny." ”

Cen Wenwen hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
