Cheng Chumo sparked with lightning all the way.

"Dad, I'm back!"

"Ugly cow, on this hot day, save some effort. What the hell are you spewing hot air out of your mouth! ”

In the living room, Cheng Biting Jin's displeased voice came.

"Dad, I'll come back to you and your mother, cool down!"

"What's that? Will your dog's day cool down? ”

Cheng Biting Jin really wanted to beat this kid up.

However, it was too hot this day, and it would take a lot of effort to beat him up by himself, which would only heat up the heat!

It's better to save your stamina and save it for the autumn to settle accounts!

Wait until the autumn wind rises and the autumn leaves fall into piles!

Lao Tzu, hit his ass and blossom! Hold your head like the autumn wind!

"Dad, I just learned from the seventh brother, the method of turning water into ice!"

When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

"Ugly cow, hurry up, let Lao Tzu see how you turn water into ice."

A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Biting Jin's two big eyes almost popped out.

"Ugly cow, hurry up, follow your father into the palace!"

Such a spell really frightened Cheng Yanjin.

The father and son went straight to the palace.

In the Lizheng Palace.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun have already begun to enjoy the coolness brought by the ice cubes.

I heard that Cheng Biting Jin's father and son asked to see him.

Li Shimin immediately let the two in.

"Your Majesty, it's terrible, His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, he knows magic."

"What the hell ......"

Li Shimin and Empress Eldest Sun covered their mouths in surprise.

"Zhijie, this... It's true? ”

"Your Majesty, it's true, the ugly cow just learned the art of turning water into ice with His Royal Highness."

Li Shimin's eyes were like torches, and he went straight to Cheng Zhizhi silently.

"Your Majesty, Chu Mo has indeed just learned from His Highness the skill of turning water into ice."

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately ordered someone to fetch water.

A quarter of an hour later.

Li Shimin and Empress Eldest Sun were shocked.

Look at a bucket of water, condensed into ice.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun have not come to their senses for a long time.

"Know, be silent. This matter must not be leaked. ”

Cheng Yanjin's father and son nodded solemnly.

"Chu Mo, if there is any trouble, report it to me immediately, I will never treat you badly."

Cheng bites the Jin father and son, after leaving the Xiande Palace.

Li Shimin looked at a bucket of ice cubes and didn't speak for a long time.

Li Shimin knows about the spiritual affairs of Gen'er.

However, who did he learn this spell from?

In this father-son reunion, Li Shimin must ask clearly.

……

The second day, the morning morning time.

Li Shimin and his ministers had just finished discussing state affairs.

Suddenly, outside the Hall of Virtue, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

The ministers' faces changed suddenly, and Li Shimin's expression also became solemn.

Can ride a horse gallop straight to the outside of the Hall of Virtue, except for the war. Only messengers carrying secret reports, or important notes.

"Report, Jiangnan Province sent an urgent report!"

"Present it to me!"

Li Delu, the chief of the chamberlain, took out the emergency report from the messengers.

Li Shimin got up and took the urgent report, and hurriedly opened it to check.

In an instant, Li Shimin's face changed suddenly.

Jiangnan Province suffered a flood that had not been encountered in a century, with heavy rain falling for seven days and seven nights, flooding the river, collapsing people's houses, and most importantly, destroying the salt farm.

I am afraid that in three or five years, it will not be possible to transport salt to Chang'an City.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair with a butt.

Three or five years!

Not to mention three or five years, even if it is three or five months, there is no salt delivered.

The entire Chang'an City will fall into a situation where it is difficult to find salt.

The hearts of men will be troubled, and the people will be miserable.

Li Shimin glanced at the civil and military officials, this news must not be leaked.

Otherwise, in one day.

The salt supply place in Chang'an City will be trampled away.

Just when Li Shimin had not yet recovered from his grief.

Outside the Hall of Virtue, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again.

The fold was sent to Li Shimin again.

Li Shimin opened it and looked at it, and immediately became angry!

"Presumptuous!"

Li Shimin threw the song to the ground fiercely.

Li Delu, the chief attendant, quickly picked it up carefully.

It turned out that Tuyuhun and the Turks actually raided the Longyou Dao salt field in succession.

The salt field of Longyou Dao suffered huge losses, and the salt sent to Chang'an City by Longyou Dao was also looted by Tuyuhun and the Turks.

Onigiri reads a book

Li Shimin trembled angrily.

It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight.

It's no wonder that Li Shimin is not angry.

The most terrible thing is that there is not a single salt field in the entire Chang'an City within a radius of 800 miles.

Li Shimin deeply understands what kind of disaster it will bring if there is no salt.

"The officials in charge of the three provinces and six ministries stayed, and the others retreated."

Li Shimin's voice landed, and the ministers began to bow and retreat.

"Xuancheng, you also stay!"

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng's back and left Wei Zhongcheng.

Everyone followed Li Shimin into the imperial study.

Li Shimin directly handed the two copies of the report to Fang Xiang and Du Xiang, one for each person.

Fang Xiang and Du Xiang, after reading the report, their complexions changed suddenly.

The two of them naturally knew that once the salt could not be supplied to Chang'an City, it would be a battlefield without swords and swords!

Even more damage than the battlefield.

"Sit down, no one is allowed to leak out today's events until there is a turnaround."

After reading the two reports, everyone knew what a grim situation they would face in the future.

Although it is the people who take food as the sky!

However, once there is no salt, the damage and panic caused are no less than the loss of food in a disaster year.

Table salt is the most basic substance for replenishing the body's energy.

Without salt supplementation, within a few days, people will be tired and sore.

For the army, it is even more of a nightmare.

It will make all soldiers lose their due combat effectiveness.

There was silence in the imperial study, and everyone knew it in their hearts.

Once the salt problem cannot be supplied to Chang'an City, it will not be able to cover it.

After some deliberation.

Only from now on, the limited sale of table salt will begin.

"It's a day to be able to stay up for a day, from today onwards, I will also begin to reduce the salt consumption in each palace, and the refined salt for gargling will be counted tomorrow."

Li Shimin's words made everyone express their positions, and all governments began to reduce the use of salt.

Although I know that it is a drop in the bucket, it is also the most direct and effective way for the time being.

Everyone in the imperial study bowed their heads.

The great drought has arrived, and the locust plague is waiting to break through the ground not far away.

At this juncture, the south was flooded, and the north was disturbed by Tuyuhun and Turkic.

A wave of unsettled waves arises again and again, and natural and man-made disasters are endless!

What's going on?

In the end, the best of both worlds was not negotiated.

Because there is simply no way to have the best of both worlds.

Li Shimin reluctantly asked everyone to go home.

He sat in the imperial study in a daze.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be in such a hurry, drink a cup of tea first!"

Hey!

Li Shimin saw that Cheng Biting Gold in the dog day actually went and returned!

"Zhijie, do you have a clever plan?"

Li Shimin picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked.

"Your Majesty, I have a great plan there, but there is a person, maybe there will be."
