Chapter 401 Drought

Chapter 401 Li Shimin sat there, very proud, and now those people outside, Li Shimin just watched them make a fuss.

"Well, now that they play every day, it's not a solution, right? And it is rumored outside, but Pepin didn't get it out, which is also bad for Pepin's reputation. Li Chengqian thought about it for a while, and said to Li Shimin, in fact, he was also talking about himself, and he himself was framed.

"Well, those rumors outside, and those officials smearing you, don't care, as soon as the salt comes out, those rumors will be self-defeating, and the people will praise you at that time, but they will be even more disgusted with the family, and you two will need to bear more during this time." Li Shimin nodded and said to Li Chengqian.

"Okay, the ministers will go and take a look, and see the salt that Peping has made, as long as there is salt, he is not afraid of anything." After Li Chengqian heard this, he nodded, knowing that this is the only way to do now, in order to be able to save enough salt, he can only endure it now.

Soon, Li Chengqian also came out of the Ganlu Hall with a sad face, and this was also confessed by Li Shimin, because outside the Ganlu Palace, there were still a large number of officials waiting, and they wanted to meet Li Shimin, and when they saw Li Chengqian come out with a black face, they were also very happy in their hearts.

On Qin Huaidao's side, more and more salt was precipitated, and those soldiers began to use carriages to load salt into the house. It's time to weigh in.

"There is more salt precipitated today, I estimate that it is more than 700 quintals, and if it goes on like this, it will not take long to be able to store 15,000 quintals." Yu Chi Baolin and Qin Huaidao stood under the tree, looking at the soldiers who were busy in the distance and said.

"Well, it doesn't take time, but this drought is also a problem, the weather is hot, and there is wind, it is not like rainy weather at all, and it is precisely because of the wind that our salt precipitation will come out faster!" Qin Huaidao stood there, nodded and said.

"But drought is a problem, but fortunately, the wheat has been harvested, and the only thing is the water that the people drink. The people went to the reservoir to fetch water to drink! Yu Chi Baolin stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"Who knows how long the reservoir will be able to hold out. If you can't hold on, something will go wrong. Qin Huaidao said with his hands behind his back and a frown.

"We don't care so much, Your Majesty will think about it!" Yu Chi Baolin persuaded Qin Huaidao and said,

This matter, a person can't worry about it, besides, Qin Huaidao has ordered people to repair the reservoir before, and those reservoirs have a great effect, and no matter how accountable he is, he can't ask him Qin Huaidao's head, Qin Huaidao and the Ministry of Industry have done a good enough,

When the reservoir was repaired before, officials from other departments did not impeach less, saying that it was a waste of money, but now they should know that there is no waste at all, otherwise, those displaced people will run out, and they don't know how much they will lose.

"Hu Guogong, Du Wei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down and brought a lot of supplies." A lieutenant ran to Qin Huaidao's side and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Oh, let's go!" After Qin Huaidao heard this, he immediately walked to the gate,

And Li Chengqian also took about 200 to the barracks at this moment, these 200 people were specially selected by him, most of them were his food estates, such people basically would not betray the head of the family, of course, it is not excluded that there are anti-bones, but there are very few.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Qin Huaidao and Wei Chi Baolin arrived at Li Chengqian's side and immediately saluted and said.

"Okay, okay, excuse me, it's hard work, it's such a hot day, and let you be stationed outside!" Li Chengqian went over to help the two of them, grabbed their hands, and said with a smile.

"It's okay, we are military generals, with rough skin and rough meat!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

"Let's go, go in and say, by the way, I brought you some wine, not much, just to let the soldiers get tired at night, drink some wine to sleep, and some toilet water, and some meat, I don't dare to bring more meat, this kind of weather, it won't last long!" Li Chengqian said to Qin Huai, and they spoke.

"Your Highness!" Qin Huaidao and Yu Chi Baolin arched their hands, and bypassed the barracks, Li Chengqian saw a large area of salt pans in the distance, as well as those white flowers and salt piled up on the shore.

"This, it's all salt?" Li Chengqian pointed to the salt piles and said excitedly to Qin Huaidao.

"Yes, it's all table salt, but it still needs to be processed to get rid of those impurities!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said with a smile.

"So much? How many are here? Li Chengqian asked.

"It is estimated that 700 quintals can be made today, the least, and more tomorrow!" Yu Chi Baolin said with a smile, he will not lose the credit this time, of course, he is also grateful to Qin Huaidao in his heart.

"Okay, okay, let's go, take Gu to have a look!" Li Chengqian said excitedly, his eyes were staring at the table salt, and he couldn't care about the road under his feet.

"Your Highness, slow down, it's full of potholes, we don't have the time to fix the road right now." Qin Huaidao immediately persuaded him,

And Li Chongyi was also shocked to watch this scene at the moment.

"This, it's not right at all, it's all rumored outside, you didn't get out the salt, what's the matter? How? Is this still called not being made? Li Chongyi was behind, pointing to those experiments, and asked Yu Chi Baolin.

"Hehe, for the sake of secrecy, you can't say it to the outside world now, by the way, after you go out, you can't say it to the outside world, and you have to explain to those soldiers, you can't say it to the outside world!" Yu Chi Baolin said with a smile.

"Well, Chongyi, the soldiers brought over this time are all family soldiers, and they can be trusted, but they must also be explained, not a word is allowed to leak out of the affairs on this side of the salt lake, otherwise, the whole family will not be spared, and at the same time, the whole family will be driven out of the lonely food town!" Li Chengqian heard it in front, and also turned his head to look at Li Chongyi and said.

"Yes!" Li Chongyi immediately surrendered his hand, and then they came to the side of the salt field, and Li Chengqian grabbed a handful of white salt.

"Okay, okay, if you have salt, you don't have to worry about it, the family now sells 30 Wen a pound of salt, and the people scold every day, scold the family, scold the court, and wait for the salt on your side to be released, I think those people from the family should do?" Li Chengqian said very excitedly,

This period of time was indeed a bit depressing, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I am relieved, and in the distance, those soldiers are still dragging the salt into the factory.

"Your Highness, those soldiers are very hard, I first implore Your Highness, when this matter is over, those soldiers can be rewarded, some officers and soldiers can be allocated, and other soldiers can be rewarded!" Qin Huaidao said to Li Chengqian.

"Okay, you want to reward, you want to reward, you tell the soldiers when the time comes, Lone assures them that each person will not be less than 2 yuan of reward." Li Chengqian nodded and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Your Highness!" Qin Huaidao and Yu Chi Baolin immediately thanked them and said,

2 guan money, a lot, those soldiers are about 1 guan money a year, they are soldiers, not officers, they have very little money, and they are still Zuo Wuwei, if it is other government guards, the money is less.

"Your Highness, let's go to the shade of the tree, in fact, it is hotter to go to the tent, Brother Pauline and I are both sitting under the tree and drinking tea!" Qin Huaidao said to Li Chengqian with a smile.

"Well, listen to you, you can all get used to it, and Lone can get used to it!" Li Chengqian said to Qin Huaidao with a smile, and soon, they went to sit under the tree, Qin Huaidao made a simple tea table here, and also sat there to make tea for Li Chengqian.

"This day, it's hot, there's wind, it's going to die, there's wind, it's hot, that's a sign of drought, I don't know how many more days it will be sunny, these days, the reservoirs around the country are reported every three days, and those reservoirs are estimated to be able to withstand a month at most, and they will dry up,

Within a month, if it doesn't rain, the people of the 7 provinces around Chang'an will have no water to drink, they will be wandering, Weishui is now a very small stream, and the people also go to Weishui to fetch water to drink, so if it continues, Weishui may be cut off. Li Chengqian sat there and said with a sigh.

"Well, the reservoir must be repaired more in the future!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said.

"It's already being repaired, you're not in the Ministry of Industry, Xun Guogong has just approved the construction of 10 reservoirs, and the people are very active in participating this time, knowing the role of the reservoir! And the hundred officials did not obstruct it, nor did they dare to obstruct it, the last time you repaired the reservoir, they also wrote a chapter to impeach, but now they don't dare to say anything, there is no water, but it is a big deal! Li Chengqian said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.

"The reservoir is not only useful for drought, but also during heavy rains, and it is also useful during floods, so that it can store water so that there will not be so much water rushing downstream, so that the occurrence of floods will be reduced, and after heavy rains, the reservoir can also be drained, so that floods can be avoided."

Therefore, the role of reservoirs is actually very large, especially for the north, the role of water storage is even greater. Qin Huaidao said to Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian nodded.

"Pepin, at your rate, in about 20 days, you can almost save 15,000 quintals." Li Chengqian looked at the salt pan in the distance and asked Qin Huaidao.

"In fact, it doesn't take 20 days, I estimate that tomorrow's output will break 1,000, this day is too dry, the salt precipitation is fast, and our salt pans are still increasing rapidly.

So, maybe 10 days is enough, and at the same time, if Chang'an really can't stand it, you can also get it out in advance, I estimate that there will be no rain in 10 days this day! Qin Huaidao sat there, looked at the sky and said.

"Okay, good, it's good to be able to advance it, now the family is spreading rumors about you and me everywhere, saying that Your Majesty mistrusted you, saying that this matter was handled by one person, and it was not good to do things, and the negotiation with the family collapsed, and it was also because of Lonely, and now they just want to step the two of us into the mud with one foot!" Li Chengqian was very happy when he heard Qin Huaidao say that he could advance it, so that the initiative was still in their hands.
