Li Shimin

Chapter 334
With the addition of more than 600 personal guards, plus more than 500 farmers in the original village, and hundreds of children, the speed of harvesting rice has suddenly accelerated a lot.

Seeing this, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

Afterwards, he took Cui Mi, whose whole body was flushed from the sun, to the side, and went back.

After returning to the other courtyard, Li Xuan did not rest, but called two servants and walked to the backyard again.

"What is Saburo doing?"

Cui Mi was a little puzzled.

"The weather is so hot, standing under the sun for an hour can make people unbearable. I want to make some cold ice for farmers to cool down!"

Li Xuan explained.

"Give cold ice to those farmers?"

Cui Mi was surprised again, and she couldn't believe it. In her impression, cold ice is a luxury item. Even if she is the daughter of the Cui family, the amount of cold ice she can eat every year is limited.

As for Li Xuan's talk about making cold ice, Cui Mi subconsciously ignored it.

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan nodded.

Seeing this, Cui Mi opened her mouth, wanting to say something else, but saw that Li Xuan had stopped in front of a hut.

At the door of the hut, there is a small plaque, "Ice House".

Ice shop?
Cui Mi felt something was wrong.

And this time, Li Xuan had already pushed open the door and walked in.

The two servants who came over automatically stood at the door.

Seeing this, Cui Mi became more curious and cautious, followed behind Li Xuan, and walked in slowly.

As soon as he entered, he shivered subconsciously. He didn't expect that the room was very cold, but because of the glass windows, the room was still bright.

Afterwards, Cui Mi looked around, and when she saw it clearly, her mouth grew slightly subconsciously.

Only now did she understand why there was such a small plaque hanging outside the hut.

It turned out that this is really a small workshop, a workshop dedicated to making cold ice.

The whole hut, from the moment of entering the door, slopes towards the depths of the ground, and there are blocks of ice all around, all of which are stored in clean glass jars. Cui Mi estimates that there are at least a hundred of them.

Moreover, from the outside, although there is only one hut, extending from the ground, it is at least as big as three houses.

In a small room on the middle side, there is also a large ice pool, in which the cold mist is lingering. After a while, two servants in thick clothes will pull out several large pieces of cold ice. .

"Sanlang, you can actually make cold ice?"

Cui Mi has gotten used to it now, but it can be said that she has become numb.

I'm afraid that the patriarchs of my family, Aye, still somewhat underestimated the amazing talent of my husband.

Even though she has been in Lijiazhuang for so many days, this is the first time she knows that her husband can make cold ice.

Moreover, looking at the amount of ice stored in the house, it has been stored for a long time.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded lightly, but he had some doubts in his heart. Cui Mi didn't seem to know that he could make cold ice after eating cold ice for many days?
"Your Majesty!"

"I have seen the king, I have seen the princess!"

Hearing Cui Mi's words, several ice makers who were concentrating on making ice in the hut quickly turned around, saw Li Xuan and Cui Mi, and hurriedly saluted.

"No need to be polite!"

Li Xuan waved his hand casually, and then asked, "Heng Yun, how many ice cubes have been stockpiled in the ice shop in the past few days?"

Hengyun, named Li Hengyun, is a servant in Jinwang's mansion. He has a son in his family. He is trusted by the housekeeper Li Chang, so he was sent to the cold ice shop to be responsible for making cold ice in the mansion.

"Returning to Your Majesty, since your order, we have started to increase the speed of ice making. In the past few days, we have stockpiled [-] catties of cold ice."

Li Hengyun hurriedly cupped his hands and replied.

"Very good!"

Li Xuan nodded, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"Put 100 yuan on it and send it to the farmers and guards in the paddy field!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Li Hengyun didn't ask any more questions, and directly answered with his hand.

Immediately, he began to direct a group of ice craftsmen in the cold ice shop to load the cold ice into cars and send it out of the cold ice shop.

Outside the house, people from the family have already received it.

During the autumn harvest, the whole village is busy.

Even the people in the house were arranged by Li Xuan to deliver cool white leaves to the farmers in the field.

Under Li Xuan's special request, no one in Li Family Village was allowed to drink the unboiled water, they had to boil it before drinking it.

At first, people were not used to it.

However, after drinking for a period of time, the farmers all found that with drinking plain water, they rarely get sick, and even their stomachs are not so often uncomfortable.Thinking about it carefully, I can think of the effect of boiled water, and immediately began to actively drink boiled water.

Each piece of cold ice weighs ten catties.

100 yuan of cold ice is one thousand one hundred catties.

Five small flatbed carts and ten servants will be able to work together to transport it to the field ridge.

There are also ten servants, carrying hundreds of glass bowls and knives, following behind, chopping up the cold ice and distributing it to the guards and farmers.

For this, the farmers and guards were even more grateful.

In the past, harvesting grain in the autumn harvest was only the responsibility of farmers like them. How could the proprietor not only ask a group of guards to help, but also give the farmers precious cold ice to relieve the heat.

"I have waited for ten lifetimes of blessings to meet such a good proprietor!"

An older farmer was full of excitement.

Then, when he looked up, he suddenly found that everyone around him was looking at him, and his face turned red.

However, there was nothing unusual about the already tanned face, and he shouted directly: "What are you looking at, why don't you hurry up and harvest the grain?"

"The rice grains in the Dawang Paddy Field are so full that they are at least a circle larger than the rice in the past. This year is sure to be a bumper harvest!"

"Exactly, such a huge rice, only by taking it back into the warehouse as soon as possible can make people feel at ease!"

"I've been waiting for so many people, I just need to speed up, and I can harvest them all back into the warehouse today!"

"Work, work..."

After all, the farmers of a certain kind began to harvest rice as if they had been given a lot of blood.

At the same time, in Lijiazhuang.

Li Chang also began to direct the cooks in the house to prepare meals.

Generally, when the farming is busy, the lunch meal is very simple, and a large amount is needed to keep you full.

Therefore, lunch is directly stewed pig meat, fried pig meat and other dishes, plus big steamed buns, rice soup and porridge.

Although the households in the village are not so short of meat, this kind of meal with a large amount of meat still makes the households feel refreshed.

After the meal, everyone started to rush to the paddy field again.

I have been busy working until Xushi, the sky is getting dark, and the paddy fields of thousands of acres have also begun to become bare.

Only pieces of turbid small pools were left, and occasionally some fat fish jumped out of the water, breathing freely.

On the original wide square, this meeting is full of golden rice.

A group of farmers stood aside with excited faces, looking at these rice piles the size of small hills with excitement.

This year, the grain tank in their home will definitely be filled with grain.

For dinner, there is another fragrant fish soup and chicken soup.

Every farmer and personal guard eats to their heart's content, and all the rice in the field is snatched back, so they can eat with peace of mind.

The next day.

All farmers got up early and started threshing millet.

After weighing, distribute half of it to the farmers, and the rest is the family's, piled in the barn.

At the end of the day, all the farmers' faces were full of joy, and they couldn't close their mouths!
