Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

But, in this room, it is like spring and summer.

Whether it was drinking or eating, it was really a great enjoyment.

They had this meal until evening.

Today, Li Shimin did not leave. The room was so hot and the experience was so novel that he had to get some sleep no matter what.

There is no need to cover yourself with a blanket even in the middle of winter.

Empress Changsun and the palace maid returned to the bedroom.

Li Junxian and Li Shimin sat directly in the living room.

The two of them drank until midnight before they rested.

"That's great, Jun Xian. I've been a soldier all my life, but I never thought I'd meet Dayan in this life."

Li Shimin opened his eyes and said in a voice filled with sorrow: "Really, I have fought wars all my life, but now, I never thought that fighting would one day turn out like this."

Fighter planes, trains, artillery shells, rifles, and the king of land warfare….
"call!"

"How can we, the Tang Dynasty, stop it?"

"I really don't know what else to do."

"Why! Why is this happening? Why did I have to meet the Emperor of Dayan? Why did the Tang Dynasty have to meet Dayan?!"

Li Shimin was drunk and his voice was booming.

Li Junxian was serving beside him and could only smile bitterly.

He really didn't know what to do.

Slowly, Li Shimin fell asleep.

After a good sleep, it was dawn.

When they woke up, the sky and the earth were vast and empty. Last night, a heavy snow fell in Yanyun City.

The snow was heavy.

Li Shimin stood in front of the French window, rubbed his relaxed eyes, yawned deeply, and stared at the sky as if there was only a piece of silver left between heaven and earth.

The park was also covered with heavy snow.

Except for the big lake, the roads, trees, grass, etc. in the park are no longer visible.

And at this moment, the snow has stopped.

The sun in the east had already jumped out of the clouds.

It's almost noon now.

Li Shimin slept very soundly and comfortably, perhaps because of the alcohol he had drunk yesterday, plus he had not had a good rest for several days, not to mention the warmth in the room, which made him feel lazy. Now, the sun was about to move to the south.

But, although the sun is very strong, it doesn't seem to feel too warm.

The winter sun is very white, but doesn’t feel very warm.

There was only the shining snow, causing the whole world to fall silent.

There are a few black spots under the park. They are some children playing.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?"

"I didn't expect that it snowed so heavily in Yanyun City last night."

"Should we wait another day, or should we go back?" Empress Changsun and the palace maid came over, and Li Junxian quickly saluted.

"Gudong..."

Li Shimin swallowed, took a deep breath, looked at the scenery outside the window, and after a moment of hesitation, his eyes became serious again.

"go back!"

"We can't delay. With the things happening in Jiangnan Road and Chang'an, the sooner we get back, the better!"

"But I wonder if this snow will affect the trains?"

"Let's go to the train station and check. If the train is not running today, we will wait there."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

But, having said that, Li Shimin didn't think that the train station would stop operating because of the heavy snow.

After all, the snow in Chang'an lasted for almost a day and a night, and the amount of snow seemed to be about the same as the heavy snow in Yanyun City this time.

However, everything is normal at Pu County Railway Station.

No matter what, the Yanyun City Railway Station is of a higher level than the Pu County Railway Station.

Therefore, Li Shimin was still full of confidence about returning to Chang'an.

Besides, the snow only fell in Yanyun City. After we pass Yanyun City, everything in the south will be normal.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, then, we can set off now."

"We have almost cleaned up the house this morning."

Empress Changsun nodded.

The maid picked up gloves, scarves, hats and other things. She really couldn't live without these things in winter.

"Alright!"

"But I just got up, so let's just wash up and get going."

Li Shimin nodded and walked towards the bathroom.

After each battle, Li Shimin came out again, picked up various equipment, and left with Empress Changsun and the palace maids.

As soon as I went out, a chill rushed over me.

Although the corridor is quite warm, it can't compare to the temperature in the room.

Before, they entered the corridor from outside and didn't feel anything and felt very warm. But now, after walking out from a warmer place, they suddenly felt the coolness in the corridor.

"This temperature, hiss..."

"I didn't expect it to feel a little cold."

"Let me put on my hat and scarf first. It will definitely be colder when I go out later."

Li Shimin took a deep breath and quickly put on his cotton coat and hat.

He couldn't help but glance at the door.

"Dayan, it's really amazing, this floor heating, ah!"

"I guess once you spend a winter here, you can't go back. You can never go back again. Even the people of Chang'an will probably join Dayan after living here for a winter."

"It's so comfortable, how could I still endure the coldness of Chang'an?"

Li Shimin's eyes were bitter.

This principle is not difficult to understand.

Not to mention, if he didn't have a reason to go back, to be honest, Li Shimin didn't want to go back either.

If you compare Chang'an with Pavilion No. 1 where spring flowers are blooming, anyone who is not extremely stupid will know what to choose.

Especially for those older people, this place is like a paradise for immortals!
"Who says it's not?"

"This place, I really don't know if I'll have the chance to spend a winter here in the future!"

Empress Changsun sighed.

The elevator has arrived.

Four people walked in.

There is some silence and some stillness.

What Li Shimin said was absolutely right. He hadn't even left the unit yet. He had just walked out of the elevator. The moment the elevator opened, a gust of cold wind rushed out.

Like a ferocious beast, it rushed straight into the faces and bodies of the four people!

Unable to help it, the four of them shuddered together.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and walked out.

If he had another choice now, he would definitely turn around and go back.

However, he had no other choice, and the Tang Dynasty had no other choice.

He had to go back. The Tang Dynasty was now ravaged by smallpox and he had no choice.

"Let's go!"

Li Shimin walked out.

Empress Changsun and her entourage followed closely behind.

But when he walked out of the unit door, he was stunned for a moment.

There was no other reason. The road in front of the door was completely clean and there was no snow at all. If it weren't for the fact that everything except the road was covered with heavy snow, to be honest, they all thought that it didn't snow at all last night.

"hiss…."

"The speed of snow removal is too fast."

"How did they do it in such a thick snow?"

Li Shimin didn't believe it anyway.

Really clean! Shiny and shiny!
Compared to the snow around here that is probably knee-deep when you step on it, the snow here is really like a mirror, without a single speck of dust.

There is no snow at all.

Not to mention Li Shimin, even Empress Changsun, the palace maids and Li Junxian were all stunned.

Deep down, it's all incredible.

Some of them can't believe it.

how could it be possible!
Even though it was daybreak a while ago, how could they clear so much snow so quickly?
Gudong!

The three of them swallowed.

"call…."

"It seems that it should not affect the train."

"Let's go."

"Go to train station!"

After a few breaths, Li Shimin finally reacted. He let out a long breath, supported his head, bent his body slightly, and walked down against the wind.

Although the snow on the road has stopped, the wind is still cold.

Li Junxian hurriedly followed.

Empress Changsun and the palace maid recognized each other, stretched out their hands, each grabbed a handful of snow, and played with it as they walked.

It's quite interesting.

As they walked, they discovered that not only the road in Hall No. 1, but also some important activity squares had no snow at all.

It seems that the snow did not fall in this place.

It's as if God has eyes when it snows, and knows where it can snow and where it shouldn't snow.

However, this is impossible!

Li Shimin scratched his head, looking confused.

Not to mention the rooftops, the surrounding gardens, lawns and trees were all covered with snow, very thick snow.

But what about these places?

Isn’t that a bit outrageous?
Even if you have cleaned it, it is still the same thing.

But, to be honest, there are very few signs of cleaning.

Really….
I have no idea how Hall No. 1 did it!
"Gudong..."

Li Shimin rubbed his throat, looked around, and pursed his lips: "What on earth is going on?

“Why are these roads and platforms so clean?”

"strangeness."

"It's like they deliberately avoided it when it snowed."

Li Shimin was confused.

Who knows?

"I guess they have some solution."

"Did they build something up in these places when it snowed yesterday? And then they took it all away today?"

Empress Changsun guessed.

"Your Majesty, if you want to know why, why not just ask them?"

"Look, there is a group of people over there, probably doing these things."

At this time, Empress Changsun looked at the gate of Hall No. 1 and saw a group of people who seemed to be doing something in full swing.

Li Shimin looked over, his eyes narrowed slightly, he nodded slightly, and his pace inevitably quickened.

When they walked in, they saw that there were still traces of snow on the wide flat ground in front of the gate of Hall No. 1, and they were cleaning it up.

However, there was no shovel or broom in their hands. All I saw was that each of them was holding a cloth bag and seemed to be scattering something.

Li Shimin walked over.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Snow clearing?"

"Or what?"

"Why are the roads in Hall 1 so clean without any snow?"

Li Shimin asked the nearest security guard.

The man paused what he was doing and burst into laughter.

"Oh, I wonder if you are satisfied?"

“Is it convenient to travel?”

The staff member did not answer, but immediately asked back.

"satisfy!"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Of course I am satisfied, of course I am satisfied! The snow has no effect at all."

"What on earth is this method?"

Li Shimin asked again.

"I heard that this method was also proposed by His Majesty."

"That is to say, if you spread salt on the road before the heavy snow falls, the snow will basically not accumulate."

"Of course, it's cold at night, so just spreading salt won't work, so we also clean the roads in batches from time to time."

"Then we spread the salt. We worked all night yesterday, but we just need to make the owner satisfied."

"It's just that this place is too big and I couldn't take care of it last night. But isn't the sun out now?"

"Just sprinkle some more salt and the snow will melt quickly."

The staff member explained.

But when these words came out, not only Li Shimin himself, but also Empress Zhangsun, the palace maid and Li Junxian who were standing beside him with curiosity all widened their eyes. Some of them were horrified and couldn't believe it!
what?
Gudong!

They kind of exploded.

Salt?
Sprinkle salt?

Using salt to melt snow?

It can be said that Li Shimin's eyes were subconsciously staring at the staff, with the salt in his hands not yet spilled.

This is damn luxurious.

Dayan, has actually become this wealthy?
real or fake?

incredible!
Is this salt such a waste?
You know, it is still extremely difficult for the people of the Tang Dynasty to eat salt, and it is far less popular than in the Great Yan. But even so, Li Shimin could not imagine that the Great Yan would dare to corrupt salt like this.

To be honest, if this happened in the Tang Dynasty, there would probably be an uproar.

But, this big flame...

For a moment, Li Shimin only felt how dry his mouth was.

He didn't know what to say!

That’s right, it’s snow sand salt.

Silly!

Surprised!

Senseless!

Blasted!

The staff member continued to work, leaving Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and the other two in a mess.

Damn it!

The prodigal Emperor of Dayan!
To be honest, right now, all that was on Empress Chang Sun's mind was this: This was too, too, too wasteful! She had money to burn!
stunned.

This method….
To be honest, even if I told him, would he dare to use it? No way!
In fact, how to melt the snow quickly is also very important for the Tang Dynasty.

Whenever heavy snow falls, it is a big test for the people.

For example, heavy snow can easily collapse a thatched hut. Of course, this doesn’t happen often, but even if it does, it is still a huge challenge for the people living in thatched huts.

Snow disasters are difficult to occur, but people suffer from snow disasters every year and it never stops. From this perspective, the harm caused by heavy snow to the people is still extremely huge.

But this method....this is too wasteful!
Ah!
Li Shimin took a deep breath and moved his stiff limbs. He turned his head and looked at Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang.

"Let's go."

"We can't learn the method of Emperor Yan."

Li Shimin smiled bitterly.

Empress Changsun and the palace maid exchanged glances and nodded with a wry smile.
