Emperor! Yuan Tiangang walked into the imperial study and bowed to Li Shimin

"Well, Yuan Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, and sit down on the side. {First reading}" Li Shimin nodded lightly, put the fold in his hand on the table, waved his hand to signal Yuan Tiangang to sit down, and then asked him in a loud voice: "Yuan Aiqing is asking to see him at this moment, but what is the important matter?" ”

I remember the last time I summoned Yuan Tiangang, it was the period of great drought in the world, and I came to him to ask about the rainy period, and then Sanyuan came out of Liu Yiyi's 'Liu's waterwheel', and the drought was not to worry about, Li Shimin didn't care anymore, so the rainy period was over.

Now that Yuan Tiangang is here, isn't it going to rain on this day?

"Back to the emperor," Yuan Tiangang bowed his hand and replied: "Last night, Weichen watched the sky at night, and now the stars and clouds in the sky are dim, as if there is a cold air coming from the east, hitting the stars, Weichen concluded that two days later, in the territory of Datang, there will be a wide range of continuous heavy rain coming, so Weichen came to the emperor to make it clear. ”

Observing the celestial phenomena and calculating the calendar is the responsibility of the volcano order, and now there is a difference in the image, and there is also a hidden catastrophe, Yuan Tiangang, the volcano order, wants to come to report to Li Shimin in person.

"Two days later?" Li Shimin's brows furrowed, wouldn't it be the ripening period of the corn valley in two days? It's not a good thing to rain at this time.

"This rain, and the rainy period, Yuan Qing may be able to calculate?" Li Shimin couldn't help but stand up, glanced at Yuan Tiangang, and asked him out loud.

"The rain is majestic, the rain period is half a month, and it spreads widely, within the borders of the Tang Dynasty. Almost all ministries will be affected, this time, I am afraid that there will be a big flood, I hope the emperor can prepare early! Yuan Tiangang bowed his head and whispered back to Li Shimin, this kind of anticipation of natural disasters and other earth stars was the last thing they wanted to see.

Half a month of rain, flooding. {First Reading} and this season's crops. Li Shimin's face was a little unkind. After six months of drought, is there another flood now?

Li Shimin took two steps back and forth, thinking about how to deploy and deal with Yuan Tiangang's ability, Li Shimin knew it, so he said to Yuan Tiangang. Li Shimin didn't doubt it much, waved his hand to signal Yuan Tiangang to go down, and Li Shimin instructed Li Ran, the head of the inner chamberlain on the side: "Li Ran, you go and invite Fang Xuanling, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Tao Yande, and the prince to invite me to the Taiji Palace, I have something important to discuss with them!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Ran also saw the anxiety in Li Shimin's eyes. Know that the situation is urgent. After bowing to Li Shimin, he trotted out of the study.

It's going to rain, and it's beyond human control. Just like the drought a while ago, no one can change the change in the weather, and all Li Shimin can do now is to reduce some losses as much as possible.

Crops were harvested, river embankments were repaired, people were evacuated, and materials for disaster relief were urgently dispatched to minimize the losses caused by the impending disaster.

Li Shimin walked back and forth in the study, there was no trace of peace in his heart, unconsciously, he actually remembered Liu Yilai again, in the face of such a flood, would that kid have any good way?

Woo~! Li Shimin shook his head lightly, although Liu Yiyi is talented, but this flood is not as good as farming, but not anyone can cure it, he thinks too much.

Before the announcement of the harvest was heard in Chang'an City, Liu Yiyi had already decisively led his tenant farmers, brandished a sickle, and began to harvest the corn that was not yet very ripe in the field.

Li Dechen's legs, Weng Yu's experience, the ants crawling on the ground, and the big-headed fish that kept breathing enthusiastically on the surface of the water all told Liu Yiyi that it was going to rain.

Therefore, on the afternoon of the day when he learned the news, Liu Yiyi, despite the heat of the weather, picked up the simple sickle in his house, gathered all his 400 tenant farmers, and poured into his 33 hectares of corn field under the surprised eyes of some surrounding farmers.

Grab the harvest, and strive to take all the corn in the field back to the warehouse before it rains, otherwise, as soon as it rains, it will continue, and the crops in his field will grow another layer of green, and the corn of the sprouts can still be?

While being anxious, Liu Yiyi didn't forget it, and sent Ma Cheng to Sanyuan, and also followed Gongsun Mansion and Yang Mansion to greet them, and sent favors to them, Liu Yiyi didn't care much about whether they listened or not, because it was their own business, and he couldn't help.

Thirty-three acres of land, a lot, but in front of four hundred people, it seemed very little, it only took an afternoon, even a night, all the grain was harvested, Liu Yi waved his sickle, wiped a handful of sweat on his face, this night of busyness, but he was tired enough.

However, now

Yes, the harvest is finished, and when they are all transported to the field, it will rain and be fearless.

Glancing at Weng Yu and a few other tenant farmers who were still secretly competing with him just now, they were looking at themselves stupidly, there was still a bit of awe in their eyes, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but chuckle, when he was interning in the countryside, he had also practiced anyway, the title of 'fast knife hand' was not blown out, ordinary people, how could they be faster than him?

Together with Liu Wuchen, Li Dechen, and Weng Yu, he commanded the tenant farmers to sort out the cut corn into a stack, and drove the carriages, donkey carts, and people and carts to the open space in front of the mansion.

"Uncle Li, are your legs okay?" Liu Yiyi glanced at Li Dechen's right leg, since yesterday afternoon, this old man just refused to go back, and had to accompany the owner to harvest together, now looking at his grinning teeth, it must be in a terrible pain.

"It's okay, it's an old problem, it's over after a while, the owner doesn't have to worry." Li Dechen pretended to raise his leg easily, and said to Liu Yiyi with a chuckle.

"Well, it's okay," Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, looked at Li Dechen and said: "After this period of time, if I have leisure, I will send someone to Sanyuan County to invite a Langzhong to come and take a look for you, your disease has been delayed for a long time, it's not good." As for the cost of the consultation, Liufu will reimburse you, so you don't have to worry. ”

Seeing that this old man was doing things for himself so hard, Liu Yiyi also felt that he should make some expressions, otherwise, it would not be good to chill the hearts of these tenant farmers.

"The owner, no need, the little old man has passed it after a while, after so many years, the little old man is also used to it." Li Dechen glanced at Liu Yiyi gratefully, bowed down and refused in a low voice.

"Okay, Uncle Li doesn't have to say much, this matter is so decided," Liu Yiyi decisively waved his hand, settled the matter, and then said to Li Dechen: "After a while, Uncle Li and the dustless housekeeper will go back to Liufu to withdraw some money, so that everyone will be busy all night, and each person will put a reward of two cents, well, and then go to the town to buy two black-faced men, and slaughter them at noon to add food to everyone." ”

Four hundred people, two pigs, although not much, but it also made the eyes of the few tenant farmers who heard it brighten, looking at them, as if they had not been touched with meat for a long time.

"Thank you, owner!" When Li Dechen and Weng Yu heard this, their faces were full of joy, they just worked for an extra night, and they had money and meat to eat, so it was no wonder that they would be happy.

"Well, okay, you guys can go here, it's enough for me and Weng Yu to be here, remember to get things done before dawn, there are more things waiting for you to do after dawn." Liu Yiyi waved his hand to knock the two away, and then together with Weng Yu, he helped pile up the millet grain.

"Husband," in the early hours of the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Zhang Chuchu rushed over with Xiaoxi and a food box, and saw Liu Yiyi's sweat on his face, as well as the clothes that had been soaked, Zhang Chuchu was very distressed, and he was busy taking out a silk scarf and gently rubbing it for Liu Yiyi.

Xiaoxi also put down the food box, quickly brought a bowl of chilled sour plum soup from it, and handed it to their young master with both hands.

Looking at the tired appearance of their young master, Xiaoxi really couldn't understand, why did a dignified young owner still do the work done by these subordinates, and wouldn't it be good to hand them all over to those tenant farmers?

The young master is a strange person, and he glanced at Liu Yiyi again, and Xiaoxi made this evaluation to him in his heart.

After Weng Yu and Zhang Chuchu saluted, they dodged away from a distance, and by the way, they also called a few tenant farmers nearby, making room for Liu Yiyi and his wife.

Liu Yiyi glanced at Weng Yu with satisfaction, carefully helped Zhang Chuchu to sit down on a pile of corn grains, smiled at her, and let her reach out to wipe her sweat.

"Husband, hurry up and eat something, it's been a night, and you must be hungry." Seeing Liu Yi looking straight at him, Zhang Chuchu hurriedly twisted his head away shyly, took the sour plum soup handed over by Xiaoxi, and instructed Xiaoxi to take out the snacks in the food box.

"Thank you, lady!" Liu Yiyi stretched out his hand to take the soup, glanced at Zhang Chuchu affectionately, and said: "However, if there is such a thing in the future, just let Xiaoxi come for a trip, you are pregnant now, don't run too far, lest you have a fetal gas." ”

As he spoke, Liu Yiyi's gaze couldn't help but fall on Chu Chu's little belly, and in two months, Zhang Chuchu's stomach had changed significantly.

"Well, the concubine knows." Zhang Chuchu nodded lightly, and reached out to hand Liu Yiyi a piece of mille-feuille cake
