People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 96 Iced Mung Bean Soup

Many people around Chang'an fainted while working, especially in the Bashang area, which was washed away by a flood when the farming was busy.

In order to save the fields in time for the season, the villagers in Bashang could only hurry up and reclaim the fields.

Many people fainted from dehydration and even died.

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

Li Shimin was furious at the court meeting and promulgated a decree that anyone who dares to use coolies in summer will be punished severely, and those who have been hard-pressed to recruit people's power will be brought into Dali Temple!
Hearing this, the group of ministers below whispered.

It seems that those tenants on Bashang are going to be out of luck.

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

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

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

……

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

Du Ruhui stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to do so."

Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty is for the sake of the people, and this minister thinks it's right."

Du Ruhui went on to say: "If Chang'an is not in production in summer, how many workshops will stop production, and how many people will not be able to earn money to support their families."

Wei Zheng said: "If people are killed frequently, how can people's hearts be at ease."

Cheng Yaojin was also sweating while standing in the court class, and his court clothes were almost soaking wet. This was because the Taiji Hall was as hot as a steamer in the morning.

"Your Majesty!" An officer stood up and said, "Thousands of people are building houses in Jingyang County every day. Should the Marquis of Jingyang County be punished for using such hard labor!"

There was another discussion in the hall, and many people in Chang'an knew about Li Zheng's great construction project in Jingyang.

It used to be to reclaim wasteland and no one said anything, but now it is to build houses.

And at this juncture, the nature is completely different.

Yan Guan said again: "If Jingyang doesn't stop work and stops work everywhere in Chang'an, there will be people who will not agree."

After listening to the speaker, Cheng Yaojin asked Qin Qiong next to him in a low voice, "Who is this person?"

Qin Qiong endured the sweat dripping from his eyelids and said, "Looking at Miansheng, but listening to the words, it was indeed aimed at Li Zheng."

The courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty talked about it, and Du Ruhui was right. How many people rely on finding jobs in Chang'an to earn money to support their families.

If work is stopped, many people will not be able to earn money.

Wei Zheng is right, if more and more people are killed by the heat, there will be problems.

Cheng Yaojin wiped his sweat, "This weather is really evil!"

The clothes were soaked with sweat, and it was very uncomfortable for the clothes to stick to the body.

However, there are so many places where people are dizzy, how come there is nothing in Jingyang.

Li Shimin said, "Cen Wenwen!"

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

"Go check it out, no matter inside or outside Chang'an City, there are cases where people are killed due to forced labor."

"The minister leads the order."

"Retreat!"

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

Cheng Yaojin lifted his neckline to dispel the heat and said, "It would be great if I could have a bite of ice on this day."

Qin Qiong wiped her sweat all the way and said, "It's a tough day."

Jingyang, the scenery in the distance under the scorching sun is distorted.

Sun Simiao was very busy and had to see a doctor early in the morning. Many people around Chang'an fainted due to heat stroke.

More and more people are sending to Jingyang.

Outside the Jingyang Medical Center, Li Tai stared at Li Zheng putting saltpeter in the water shed, "Do you think this can really make ice out of thin air?"

Li Zheng stared at the saltpeter in the water basin and said, "It should be possible."

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

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

"Really ice?"

Li Tai took the ice and was about to put it in his mouth. Li Zheng quickly stopped him and said, "I can't eat this ice, it makes my stomach hurt."

Li Zheng put bowls of mung bean soup into the water basin, and it's good to chill it.

Half an hour later, Li Zheng took a sip from a bowl of iced mung bean soup, "Sure enough, it's better to be iced."

Li Tai also took a bowl and drank it in his mouth and sighed: "There is nothing happiest in life than this."

Li Yifu came running and said, "The county magistrate, the officers and soldiers came and said they wanted to investigate the village."

Li Tai ate the mung bean soup and said, "Which officers and soldiers dare to come to Jingyang to make trouble? Bring them here."

Just after saying that the person had come to the front, Cen Wenwen walked up to Li Tai and saluted, "His Royal Highness King Wei."

"Cen Wenwen?" Li Tai stood up curiously, "If you don't compile clan chronicles and Kuodi chronicles, what are you doing here?"

Cen Wenwen said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a plan for the lower officials to check the situation in various places, especially Jingyang. It is said that the Marquis of Jingyang County is engaged in construction projects, 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 were dying of heat recently, but the people in Jingyang were all good.

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

"Xie Jingyang County Marquis, Xiaguan has long wanted to quench his thirst." Cen Wenwen took a sip of mung bean soup and said, "Iced it?"

After he finished speaking, Cen Wenwen drank it in one gulp.

"Finished?"

Cen Wenwen nodded.

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

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

"one more bowl?"

Cen Wenwen nodded vigorously, "Okay."

Li Zheng brought out another bowl from the water basin to Cen Wenwen.

After taking over the cold mung bean soup, Cen Wenwen gushed again, "Fun."

"Drinking again? Do you want another bowl?"

Cen Wenwen waved his hand and said, "I'm full."

"A total of two pennies, a big bowl is a good deal."

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

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Let me not say that I bribed you."

Cen Wenwen said a little embarrassedly: "Xiaguan went out without money."

Li Tai gave Li Zheng a wink. They were here to inspect, but Li Zheng not only did not please them, but also asked them to collect money.

Just felt that Li Zheng was clever, and immediately turned his face and asked for money.

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

"What ad?"

"It's just an advertisement that is widely advertised. It should be useful for you to speak."

Cen Wenwen said with a wry smile: "Where, where, the county magistrate is a matter of Zhongshu and the provincial government. Logically speaking, your official rank is higher than mine, how dare you be."

Li Zheng took Cen Wen Wen aside and said, "Actually, it's not difficult, you should tell the truth about our Jingyang County to let more people know about it, and the iced mung bean soup here is only a penny. You can drink a big bowl."

Cen Wenwen hesitated for a while before agreeing.
