Li Shimin

Page 266

Then, maybe if your own king really brought people and smashed the gates of those censor officials, with the Supreme Emperor present, His Majesty can't punish too much.

In Cui Mi's mind, such a sentence inexplicably appeared.

Afterwards, he poohed a few times in a hurry, not daring to think about it anymore.

After dinner.

Li Yuan went to the backyard very well, and fed Li Xiong.

After moving into his new home, Li Xiong's daily life is even more wonderful. There are people taking care of his food, drink and toilet, and there is a small green bamboo forest in his small courtyard.

The house I live in is also a very spacious concrete house with glass windows.

In the city of Chang'an, the daughter of the Cui family officially married into the Jin Palace.

Moreover, the whole process went very smoothly. People from a certain family who were planning to watch King Jin's excitement all start to visit everywhere after showing a disappointed expression, and start to seek relationships for the cement road. I want to ask Li Shimin to forgive me.

However, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others, who already knew Li Shimin's attitude, explained it early, so that after a few days of tossing about, the children of a certain family did not make any progress.

Discuss with the head of the family again, and exchange the sand and gravel workshops along the cement road from Chang'an City to Qinghe to the court again.

Then, for the money exchanged, Li Shimin used glass, sofas, refined salt and other items to pay these aristocratic families.

So, going round and round, these aristocratic families were very sad to find that they had tossed so many workshops, and in the end they all returned to the imperial court or Li Er in various forms.

However, on top of this matter, none of these aristocratic families suffered a disadvantage.

And, also made some money.

Because of this, these aristocratic families resisted not continuing to confront Li Shimin.

As for the future, when they found out that they had suffered a great loss, they would not have the courage to confront Li Shimin or the court.

……

The autumnal equinox is not only one of the 24 solar terms, but also an important day for the ancient people's autumn harvest.

On this day, the whole world, no matter what major events they are doing, will automatically stop and prepare for the autumn harvest.

The autumnal equinox is golden, the wind is clear and the dew is cold, and the autumn is half, the cool toads are full, and the fragrance of osmanthus is far away!

This is especially true around Chang'an City.

All the artisans who went out to do labor or participate in the paving of cement roads also returned from afar to participate in the autumn harvest and sow seeds.

The weather was fine, and all the peasants were wearing bamboo hats, under the scorching sun, harvesting the rice fields in the golden rice fields. They were in a hurry, wishing to take all the grain in the rice fields back home in one day.

The harvest of a year's hard work can all depend on these few days.

Lijiazhuang!

Li Xuan also took his concubine Cui Mi, standing in front of a thousand acres of rice, with a serious expression on his face.

In the thousands of acres of golden rice fields, there are more than a dozen farmers standing in each paddy field, working hard to harvest.

On the ridges of the fields, there are still figures, pushing small carts, quickly transporting rice to the village.

"Your Majesty, the weather is so hot, it's enough for a villain to watch over here, you go back and rest first!"

Li Chang was sweating profusely, and said to Li Xuan.

However, Li Xuan ignored Li Chang, but quietly looked at the sky with a solemn expression.

"Housekeeper, don't you think the weather these days is a bit abnormal?"

"Ok?"

Li Chang was taken aback for a moment, looked up at the sky, and then quickly looked at Li Xuan.

"My lord, the whole sky is cloudless and it's a good day to harvest rice. God is helping!"

Li Chang looked happy.

Hearing this, Li Xuan glanced at Li Chang helplessly.

"The farmers are still a little slow to harvest!"

"My lord, the scythes in the hands of the farmers in our village are all made of fine steel, which is many times sharper than before, and everyone has gloves in their hands. The speed of harvesting rice is at least [-]% faster than before!"

Li Chang said.

"No, it's still a bit slow!"

After watching for a while, Li Xuan sighed lightly.

Immediately, under Li Chang's astonishment, he shouted, "Where are Zheng Fu and Ma Xi?"

"Your Majesty!"

Behind him, Ma Xi, Dianjun of the Marriage Office, and Zheng Fu, Dianjun of the Tent House, hurried forward to salute Li Xuan.

"Can your personal guards harvest rice?"

Li Xuan pointed directly at the rice in the field and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, one of the personal guards in the Marriage Mansion and Tennei Mansion are all farmers' children, and they are also very skilled in harvesting rice!" Zheng Fu and Ma Xi hurriedly clasped their hands together.

"Very good!"

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Leave fifty personal guards to guard outside the village, and all the personal guards will take off their armor and use sickles to harvest rice!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Zheng Fu, Ma Xi and the others were startled.

It was the first time they had met soldiers to harvest food.

"Ok?"

Li Xuan looked at the two of them quietly, "But why not?"

"My lord, there has never been a precedent for this matter..."

Zheng Fu reminded cautiously.

"This is the king's order, you just follow the order!"

Li Xuan snorted coldly, and said solemnly: "No matter what, so much grain is in front of you, if you don't hurry up and harvest it back to the warehouse, if there is a sudden heavy rain, causing these grains to rot in the field, who is to blame for this? Can you afford it?"

"Humble post obeys orders!"

Hearing this, Zheng Fu and Ma Xi hurriedly clapped their hands together, and gave the order.

For this order, although many guards are a little puzzled, every guard is very active in helping those households harvest rice and grain.

The rice in these fields will also be their food in the future.

In the past, at this time, it was most likely to rain.

If they can take back the food a moment earlier, they can all feel relieved a quarter of an hour earlier.

Therefore, after seeing these more than 600 personal guards go to the fields to help harvest rice, all the farmers in the village were overjoyed.

Work more energetically!

……

Chapter 333

With the addition of more than 600 personal guards, plus more than 500 households and hundreds of children in the original village, the speed of harvesting rice has been 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, can you 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 you ordered me to increase the speed of ice making, I have stockpiled [-] catties of cold ice in the past few days."

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.
