The tea that had just been transported to Chang'an was immediately taken out by Li Yuanjia with two hundred catties.

In addition to sending twenty catties to his younger brother, he also sent someone to send twenty catties to the crown prince, Yang Su and others under Yongzhou Mu, and Yu Wenshi and Hefang Xuanling who were far away in Luoyang each sent twenty catties, and of course, His Majesty the Great Emperor, Li Yuanjia sent a full hundred catties!

Needless to say, the emperor, uncle, and future father-in-law, if Li Yuanjia has any good things here, he will basically send a copy to the past.

Especially on the second brother Li Shimin's side, he never dared to slack off!

After all, he had now vaguely guessed the reason why he was left in Chang'an, except for being able to come up with something fresh and interesting to the emperor from time to time, it seemed that there was nothing worth remembering.

Therefore, whenever there is something, it must be offered to the emperor.

In fact, Li Yuanjia originally wanted to give forty or fifty catties to the crown prince Li Chengqian, more than to his uncle and father-in-law, because now the status of the Tang Dynasty is higher than him, except for the emperor, that is, the prince. But after thinking about it carefully, Li Yuanjia still only sent twenty catties over.

Although he is the crown prince, he is his nephew after all, isn't it?

And......

As a prince, Li Yuanjia is of course best not to have too much to do with the crown prince, it is easy to be as unlucky as his other brother Li Yuanchang in the future. Fortunately, this tea is the same as the previous blank paper, Li Yuanjia has a plan, I believe Li Shimin should not care about this......

Lying under the shade of the tree in the small courtyard, he took a sip of this year's new tea, and Li Yuanjia only felt comfortable.

Before you know it, it's the end of August.

The summer heat of Chang'an has quietly dissipated, except for the one or two hours every afternoon, the temperature has become quite cool and pleasant. Especially every morning and evening, it can even make Li Yuanjia feel a little cool.

Drinking a few cups of hot tea on this kind of day is no longer so uncomfortable.

Especially thinking of the people who came back from Hangzhou, they have bought more than 100 acres of mountainous land over there, and are ready to plant the best local tea trees on it, Li Yuanjia is even more happy - even if the yield of tea is low this year, but if it is not particularly particular, it is at least a few thousand catties of output every year!

If the tea culture of the nobles of Chang'an and Luoyang is cultivated, how much can the tea produced every year be worth?

"Wait, wait!"

After drinking another sip of hot tea, Li Yuanjia secretly suppressed the idea of making money.

is still the same sentence, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and doing business is not something that can be done casually. Even if he has already planned for tea, and is confident that he can be like a blank piece of paper, so that Li Shimin will not be too disgusted, but now is not the time to take it out. Let's not say that there is no stable and long-term source of tea, let's just say that with the current acceptance of tea by the Tang nobles, Li Yuanjia feels that he still has a long way to go to want a big tea merchant......

"September of the eleventh year of Zhenguan is coming!"

Another sip of hot tea, casually put the teacup on the table at hand, and the corners of Li Yuanjia's mouth showed a smile.

After two and a half years of boiling, it's finally coming to an end.

He could clearly feel that the ropes tied to his body were gradually decaying and loose, and they were about to usher in the moment when they would completely fall off!

This feeling of anticipation and nervousness is so fascinating.

"Boom la la ......"

Just when Chunyan, who was waiting next to him, picked up the kettle from the coal stove and stepped forward to refill Li Yuanjia's teacup with hot water, the housekeeper Han Shan hurriedly walked in, stepped forward and saluted: "King, report from the mansion sent from Chang'an, Yang Changshi sent someone to send you a copy over." ”

"Oh?"

Hearing Han Shan say this, Li Yuanjia's heart moved and he sat up from the recliner. After receiving the newspaper presented by Han Shan's hands, Li Yuanjia opened it and read a few pages, and his face gradually became solemn......

In the middle of July of the 11th year of Zhenguan, when the news of the flooding of Luoshui reached Chang'an, Li Yuanjia actually didn't care very much.

A little thing, nothing to worry about.

In the 5,000 years of Chinese history, from the Dayu water control in ancient times to the later 98 great floods, the Chinese do not know how many floods they have encountered, so how many lives have been lost. Even more than a thousand years from now, a heavy rain can drown people in a modern city, let alone in this era of backward water conservancy facilities. It's normal for a heavy rain to break away a mud dam that doesn't even have a piece of cement next to it, and it's been a lot of this kind in China's history.

Li Yuanjia is a small traverser, and he doesn't have that much ability to change this kind of thing. And he doesn't know anything about water conservancy, so it's useless to give an opinion.

And in his opinion, Li Shimin did a good job.

At the beginning of the flood, the Yicang was opened for disaster relief, and then the edict stopped all kinds of tribute and forced labor, and at the same time gave subsidies according to the degree of damage to the victims: 15 pieces of cloth were completely destroyed in the house, 8 pieces of cloth were half destroyed, and the Xuanpu Courtyard of Mingde Palace and Feishan Palace was abolished and distributed to the victims of the flood......

It can be said that Tang Taizong has done the best response that can be done in this era.

Merely......

By mid-August, news of the flood was still reaching Chang'an, and Li Yuanjia felt that something was wrong.

It's been too long, and the place is too big.

If it's just a few days, or even a dozen days, and then concentrate in one or two places, it's actually just that, after all, the Tang Dynasty in this era is vast and sparsely populated, and even if it is affected by a disaster, it will be very limited, as long as the relief measures on the side of the imperial court are effective, there will be no big problems.

But......

According to the official Di report, this series of heavy rains from early July to early August, many rivers overflowed, and as many as more than ten prefectures were affected, which had to make Li Yuanjia a little worried.

The first thing that came to his mind was, of course, the poor sanitary conditions of this era!

The destruction of the house is a small matter, as long as the person does not drown on the spot, it is fine; The crops are not a big problem, the harvest of Datang has been good in recent years, and Li Shimin will definitely not watch his people starve to death, but the changes to the ecological environment after the flood, and the potential threat of disease outbreaks, are real.

You must know that after the great battle, there will be a great epidemic, and there is some truth in this sentence.

In particular, if you are unlucky, a large-scale outbreak of some diseases can be quite fatal.

"Hoo ......"

After sitting in the shade of the tree for a long time, Li Yuanjia let out a long breath, slowly shook his head and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity!" I know how to prevent this from happening, but ...... What a pity! ”
