Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 245 A Blizzard Is Coming!King Chu showed his true face!
After all, it is a new temple, so naturally there is a temple fair.

Now this place has become a new business district in Chang'an City.

It was very noisy.

Crowded.

Crowds of people.

The small business peddler laughed from ear to ear.

This temple fair really made them a fortune.

The common people also danced excitedly. Such a lively event made countless common people relax.

The temple fair lasted for three or four days.

However, no one thought that it was a snowstorm that stopped the temple fair.

That's right!

It was a sudden snowstorm!
This makes Chang'an inside and outside, whether it is the common people or landlord officials.All very unexpected and flustered.

Even Li Shimin never imagined that the weather would be so abnormal this year.

Right now, it's only mid-October.

According to the usual experience, it will start to be cold in November, and as for the heavy snow, it will be at the end of November at the earliest.

Now according to the logic, it absolutely shouldn't be.

After all, mid-October is still only autumn.

It is colder in the morning and evening, but it is still very comfortable and warm at noon.

But this time, everyone's thoughts were completely disrupted.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin stood in front of the palace gate, tightening his clothes.

The sudden change caught him, the Emperor of Tang, by surprise.

To be honest, he was really relaxed a few days ago, thinking that the world was completely peaceful, everything was peaceful through singing and dancing, and the world was always good.

But this time, all his fantasies were shattered, and he was completely brought back to reality.

Datang is still the same Datang that was full of disasters.

But you must not float away!
The king of Chu hasn't floated yet, why did he start to float?
On the ground, thick snow has already been produced.

Although it is night now, it doesn't feel like night at all.

Snow makes people feel like day at night.

"Damn, what's going on?"

"Why is it snowing suddenly at this time?"

Li Shimin frowned.

Behind him, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui all looked at me and looked at you, not knowing how to answer.

This, how can they know?

"His Majesty!"

Wei Zheng pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "Your Majesty, the weather is just a little abnormal."

"It's not surprising! After all, we can't control when it snows in the sky."

Wei Zheng's voice was low.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Changsun Wuji also echoed: "It's just that the heavy snow this time was too sudden. Your Majesty, let's not think about why the weather suddenly snowed and cooled down, but think about how to relieve the disaster."

"That's right, Your Majesty, the auxiliary machine and Wei Zheng are right. We can't control this, but we have to control the life and death of the people."

"The temperature dropped suddenly, almost overnight, and the people were not prepared at all."

"Thick clothes, charcoal, food, etc., will definitely be urgently needed, let's think about this!"

"Otherwise... If there is a large area of ​​frostbite, frostbite, starvation, and starvation, the people will definitely be discouraged again."

Du Ruhui said softly.

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

He looked up at the sky.

The snow continued, as if the day was about to sink, but after all, it was not as urgent as it was during the day.

It has become much smaller, and it seems that it is about to stop.

This is good news.

"There is still food in the court."

"Not to mention, a lot of Turkic cattle and sheep were sent from Yunzhou City, which happened to be a great supplement to us."

Li Shimin thought for a while and said.

Before, the sale of the Glazed Wolf King robbed the Turks of millions of dans of food. Although some of it was used as military rations, the military rations did not consume much for the war in northern Xinjiang.

Not to mention, the Turks were defeated. Although Li Ji and the others returned to the city, Yunzhou City organized many troops to go to the Turkic Grassland.

After all, although Jieli Khan and the others were captured alive, there are still many surviving tribes in Turkic.

Of course Datang will not let them breathe!

However, for Datang, the situation was almost one-sided. There was no need for a coach like Li Ji to sit in charge, and the lieutenants below could organize it.

After repeated attacks and raids, countless cattle and sheep were captured, most of which were sent to Chang'an.

These, too, serve as a great part of supplementary food.

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "There is no shortage of food."

"People, urgently need something to keep warm."

"But now, there is still a period of time before heating in the past. Many people have not prepared charcoal for the winter. Of course, a larger part of the people can't afford it at all."

"Even if it is, some rich people's homes haven't had time to buy these things yet."

Wei Zheng said sadly.

In November, it is time for the common people to buy winter items.

Now, it's only snowing in mid-October, and the temperature is dropping rapidly, which really catches people off guard.

"Yes, we must think of a way to do this, otherwise, the common people will really not be able to survive." Changsun Wuji said.

In the Tai Chi Palace, there was a sudden silence.

Only the north wind outside the hall, howling, accompanied by snowflakes, reminded the people all over the world that winter has arrived.

After counting breaths, the four of them raised their heads almost at the same time.

There was a flash of excitement in their eyes.

"Carbon!"

"The charcoal in Chu Palace!!"

Li Shimin roared out.

His voice was hoarse and his voice was broken.

"That's right, it's coal! This coal is extremely simple to make, and it burns extremely well."

"This stuff is all over the mountains around Chang'an!"

Wei Zheng rubbed his hands, almost jumping up.

"Who says it's not? Tomorrow, Your Majesty, let's go to Chu Wang's Biefu tomorrow!"

"Take a good look at how this coal is made, and then tell the people!"

"Carbon charcoal only needs to be changed into a honeycomb shape, and it can exert a huge amount of heat, which is enough for ordinary people to use."

Du Ruhui roared.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and nodded.

"Okay! The other courtyard of the Prince Chu's Mansion, let's go there tomorrow!"

Li Shimin had already made up his mind.

"Your Majesty, after all, the King of Chu's other courtyard is still a little small and cannot hide too many things, or.... Let's go to the Prince of Chu's mansion tomorrow?"

"Presumably, the Chu Palace also has this honeycomb charcoal."

Wei Zheng thought for a moment, then spoke.

Li Shimin thought for a while and nodded.

"Alright, let's go to Chu Palace first tomorrow."

"Kuan'er, brat, it's really timely rain, the most holy in the world, it's not bad at all."

"To be honest, if there is no honeycomb charcoal, I... Really, I really don't know where to go to solve the heating problem for the people."

"Hiss... Hahaha! This is God's will, this is my Tang Dynasty who will never stop!"

Li Shimin's tone became a little more relaxed.

After all, an urgent problem has been solved.

"Yes!"

Changsun Wuji also had to sigh with emotion, he actually had a feeling of survival after a catastrophe in his heart, and continued: "This time, it is also thanks to His Royal Highness King Chu."

"The common people know about it, but I don't know how to thank His Highness the King of Chu!"

"Hey... I'm waiting for the Duke, it's really..."

"Relying on His Royal Highness the King of Chu every time to resolve doubts is a waste of your salary! Shame, shame!!"

Du Ruhui smiled wryly.

"Don't talk useless things, you all don't go back, just rest in the palace, tomorrow, Chu Palace!!"

Li Shimin squinted at Du Ruhui, and said directly.

………………….
at the same time.

Luoyang East, a village.

"Da da da da..."

"Puff puff puff, hiss..."

A strange sound resounded through the night.

At the same time, countless black shadows disappeared into the surrounding courtyards.

And then.

An unexpected figure stepped out of an iron box that looked extremely strange.

That is.

King of Chu!

Li Kuan!

This iron box is very strange.

However, Li Kuan knew very well that this thing was called a car in later generations. As for the Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan hadn't given it a name yet, so naturally it didn't have a name.

This is also one of the achievements in the north!

It's freezing cold, even in a carriage, it's not as comfortable to drive as this.

Steam engine cars are much more comfortable if you can take a horse-drawn carriage.

"Your Highness, it's cold."

"It's dark now, please be careful where you step."

Lu Lingqi also hurried out from behind, and put the cloak on Li Kuan's body.

Li Kuan didn't look back.

Instead, he looked up at the sky.

Eyes narrowed slightly.

It's going to snow soon.

When he squinted his eyes to look at the sky, the snow that fell from the sky would never touch Li Kuan, and the cloak didn't get any snow at all.

"Go ahead and talk about it."

Li Kuan said calmly.

As he looked away, the freshly fallen snow finally touched the cloak.

"Your Highness, is Your Highness here?"

"See Your Highness!!"

Immediately afterwards, before the door of a farmer's parked car was opened, an extremely pleasant voice came from inside.

Door open.

Shangguan Haitang directly knelt down on one knee towards Li Kuan.

"Okay, get up first, it's cold outside, let's talk about it after entering the house."

Li Kuan said.

"Yes!"

Shangguan Haitang hurriedly got up, let out the way, followed behind, and walked towards the house together.

Then, Lu Lingqi walked in.

behind.

It was a 1.8-meter pure black spear, which was being carried into the house by six guards gritted their teeth.

this village.

Don't look at it as just a village, but when Li Kuan walked into the room, a gust of heat rushed towards his face, defending against the cold outside, which was really very comfortable.

Even Li Kuan couldn't help exhaling lightly, and his stiff fingers immediately became active again.

The room is not big.

However, everything is available.

Immediately afterwards, a few weak voices were heard from outside. It was the Jin Yiwei who had been following them all along. They carried the black guns in and put them down, and they all went into the next room to keep warm.

The door, close it.

Candle, lit.

The hot pot is steaming, and the beef and mutton inside, too, has an attractive taste.

In the middle, the brazier made a crackling sound of burning, and the heat filled the whole room one after another.

Li Kuan directly picked up the wine glass boldly, took a sip of the wine, and then looked up at Shangguan Haitang next to him.

"Has the Dragon Guard Army of Hebei Road been assembled?"

Li Kuan asked softly.

In the words, there is a trace of majesty.

"Reporting to Your Highness, everything has been properly arranged, and I have already rushed to Goguryeo. As long as the King of Chu gives an order, then..."

But before Shangguan Haitang finished speaking, Li Kuan waved his hand and interrupted him.

"Just arrive, Goguryeo, there is no rush."

"Jinyiwei and Xichang, can you sneak into some cities?"

These cities are the capitals of Tubo.

"Your Highness, let's all go in."

"Then, start to control, Tubo, it should be destroyed."

"Let them survive for such a long time, and they can't just leave it alone. The Big Dipper spies all withdrew from Tubo and returned to Datang, in order to wipe out Tubo at this moment, and become the trump card against the Big Dipper and the Fanyang Lu family." one."

While talking, Li Kuan ate a mouthful of hot pot and felt his whole body warmed up.

"Several of you, you can also sit down, keep warm and taste delicious food together."

Li Kuan ordered.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Several people were seated.

Shangguan Haitang poured wine for Li Kuan.

"What Your Highness said is really a god."

"This snow means that His Highness has just stepped out of the mountain, and it fell."

"Wait, I never expected that the snow would fall so early in Chang'an this year."

Shangguan Haitang looked at Li Kuan with soft eyes, like flowing jade.

Li Kuan smiled lightly.

In the third year of Zhenguan, there will be heavy snowfall and early winter, which is recorded in the history books, and according to the records, at this time, due to the sudden cold wave, a large number of Turkic cattle and sheep froze to death, and they will go south.

It's just... I cleaned it up in advance.

Their cattle and sheep, just right, can also be the raw material for hot pot this winter?
And because he knew about this, Li Kuan also came here from the north in advance.

The north and the top of the mountain are wonderful places to live in summer.

But in winter, it's really not a place for people to live.

That wind, that snow, unless there is modern heating equipment, otherwise, I really can't bear it.

But there is one thing to say, the snow-covered mountains, the scenery is really good.

"Your Highness, over there in Chang'an, when shall we go back?"

"A few days ago, they actually built a temple for His Highness. Lingqi really wanted to go and see it."

Lu Lingqi smiled so charmingly that her beautiful eyes almost narrowed into a line.

His Highness is only so old that he has a temple body.

I really don't know what the Highness inside will be sculpted into.

Really curious.

Lu Lingqi's voice fell, and the face next door was cold. Shangguan Wan'er, who seemed not interested in these things, also moved her clear eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

"That's right, it is said that the Guozijian even sent a plaque to His Highness."

"The most victorious in the world, these four words have spread throughout Chang'an. It is estimated that it will not take long before this name will spread throughout the world."

"The head of the Lu family in Fanyang and Beichen, the lord of the Seven Stars, don't have the prestige of your highness. We have people from all over the world as our shields, so how could we lose to them?"

The voice fell.

Shangguan Haitang was also a little excited.

The greatest victory in the world, who has ever named it?
But His Highness did it!
Li Kuan was not surprised by humiliation.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.
