Many people around Chang'an fainted while working, especially in the Bashang area, a flood destroyed the fields during the busy farming period.

In order to save the fields in time, the villagers in Bashang could only seize the time to reclaim the fields.

Many people fainted by dehydration and even died.

Dali Temple reported that the reason was that it was because it was hot.

Li Shimin was furious at the court meeting and issued an order to punish anyone who dared to use coolies in the summer. It was found that those who were suffering from the hardships of the people were taken to Dali Temple!

Hearing this, the ministers below whispered.

It seems that the tenants in Bashang are in trouble.

"I remember that land was Changsun Wuji's land."

"I was washed away by the flood and sold it to someone else at a cheap price."

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

...

Li Shimin sat on the throne and watched the ministers discussing. Changsun Wuji had not been to court for a long time.

Du Ruhui stood out and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this."

Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty is considering the people, I think it's right."

Du Ruhui continued: "If there is no production in Chang'an in summer, how many workshops will be stopped, and how many people will not be able to earn money to support their families."

Wei Zheng said: "If deaths happen frequently, how can the people feel at ease?"

Cheng Yaojin was also sweating when he stood in the morning class, and his court uniform was almost wet. This was the morning when Tai Chi Hall was as hot as a steamer.

"Your Majesty!" A censor stood out and said, "There are thousands of people building houses in Jingyang County every day. Should the marquis of Jingyang County be punished for such a heavy labor?"

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

Before, it was for land reclamation, but no one said anything, but now it is for building a house.

And at this moment, the nature is completely different.

The censor said again: "If Jingyang does not stop working and Chang'an stops work, there will definitely be people in the market who refuse to agree."

After hearing the censor's words, Cheng Yaojin asked Qin Qiong beside him in a low voice, "Who is this person?"

Qin Qiong endured the sweat and said, "Looking at her face, but listening to her words was indeed coming to Li Zheng."

The court officials were talking about it, and Du Ruhui said it was right. How many people relied on finding work in Chang'an to earn money to support their families.

If work is suspended, how many people will not make money.

Wei Zheng is right. If more and more people are killed by the heat, problems will definitely arise.

Cheng Yaojin wiped his sweat, "This weather is so hot that it's really evil!"

My clothes were soaked with sweat, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to my body.

But after all these places, there was heat and fainting, so why was there nothing wrong with Jingyang?

Li Shimin said, "Cen Wenben!"

Cen Wenben bowed and walked out of the court, "I'm here."

"You go and check it. No matter inside and outside Chang'an City, there will be severe punishment for the death of a man who is forced to recruit coolies."

"I received the order."

"Retreat!"

After everyone walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Yaojin held his collar and said, "It would be great if he could eat a bite of ice on this day."

Qin Qiong wiped his sweat all the way and said, "This is really hard life."

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

Sun Simiao was very busy and treated people early in the morning. Many people around Chang'an fainted due to heatstroke.

More and more people are sending them to Jingyang.

Li Tai, outside Jingyang Clinic, looked at Li Zheng putting saltpeter into 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 OK."

The historical records of saltpeter ice were recorded in the late Tang Dynasty.

Li Zheng watched the water change and took out some thin offal ice and placed it in front of Li Tai.

"It's really ice?"

Li Tai took the ice and was about to put it in his mouth. Li Zheng quickly stopped him and said, "This ice cannot be eaten, it will cause diarrhea after eating it."

Li Zheng put bowls of mung bean soup into a basin, and it was still good to chill it.

Half an hour later, Li Zheng took a sip with a bowl of iced mung bean soup, "It's really good to be iced."

Li Tai also took a bowl and drank it in his mouth and sighed: "The happiest thing in life is this."

Li Yifu ran and said, "County Marquis, the officers and soldiers came and said they wanted to investigate the village."

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

As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already come close to him. Cen Wenben walked to Li Tai and bowed and said, "Your Highness, King of Wei."

"Cen Wenben?" Li Tai stood up curiously, "You won't compile the clan and Kuodizhi anymore, what are you doing here?"

Cen Wenben smiled and said, "Your Majesty has ordered the officials to check the situation in various places, especially Jingyang. It is said that the marquis of Jingyang County are carrying out large-scale construction and the labor used is the most labor in Chang'an."

Li Tai looked strange and knew in his heart that there was indeed some place that had been so hot that people were so hot recently, but the people in Jingyang were all fine.

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

"The Marquis of Xie Jingyang County, Xiaguan has long wanted to quench his thirst." Cen Wenben held the mung bean soup and took a sip and said, "Is it iced?"

After saying that, Cen Wenbeng poured it into one mouthful.

"Drinking it?"

Cen Wenben nodded.

Li Zheng glanced at it and said, "It's really nothing left."

Cen Wenben breathed a sigh of relief, "It is rare to drink such refreshing mung bean soup in this hot summer."

"Another bowl?"

Cen Wenben nodded vigorously, "Okay."

Li Zheng brought out a bowl from the basin and gave it to Cen Wenben.

After taking the cold mung bean soup, Cen Wenben poured it into one mouthful, "Full."

"Did you finish drinking again? Do you want another bowl?"

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

"It's already very cost-effective to have two cents in total, one penny and one big bowl."

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

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Stop saying that I'll bribe you."

Cen Wenben said a little embarrassedly: "The official did not bring any money when he went out."

Li Tai winked at Li Zheng. He was here to inspect, but you, Li Zheng, not only did not please him, but also asked him to collect money.

I just felt that Li Zheng was smart and immediately turned against him and asked for money.

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

“What ads?”

"It's just an advertisement for publicity. Your Secretariat should be useful in speaking."

Cen Wenben said with a wry smile: "Where is the place, the county marquis is a matter of Pingzhang in the Secretariat. Logically speaking, your official rank is higher than mine, so how dare you be a good person?"

Li Zheng pulled Cen Wenben aside and said, "Actually, it's not a difficult thing. Just tell the affairs of our Jingyang County truthfully. It is best for more people to know that I can drink a big bowl of iced mung bean soup for only one cent."
