Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 279 Death Begins to Spread (Subscribe)
The Taishi Bureau is the place where the astrology was detected in ancient times, that is, the weather forecast center. We all know that the boss of the Taishi Bureau in the Tang Dynasty was Li Chunfeng, and the ancient people still had some superstitions, especially the emperor, they were very concerned about the destiny. .In their general cognition, a large part of the reason why they feel that they can enjoy such wealth is because of their good fate.

Moreover, the fate of one's own country is also calculated by looking at the stars in the sky, so generally speaking, as long as it is said by an astrologer, the emperor attaches great importance to it.

Of course, Li Shimin was no exception. At this time, the Taishi Bureau of the Tang Dynasty had two great masters, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.

However, it is a pity that Li You has not had contact with the two, because Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are not in Chang'an, and Li You does not know why they are not there.

Sure enough, the Taishi Bureau without Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng couldn't figure out the reason at all, and made some kind of evil answer. This answer was a lie to Li You, so Li You didn't take it seriously.

"By the way. Is there enough ice in the palace?"

Li You no longer asked about the Taishi Bureau, but instead asked about the ice in the palace, because in such a hot day, ice is very important.

"In winter, my father ordered to go to a place with good water quality to salvage the ice cubes in the river and put them in the ice cellar, so there are still some ice cubes. However, due to the increased consumption, ice is not needed at this time. block.

So my father decreed that it should be used sparingly. Those of us princes who came out couldn’t get it, so I can only come to you, fifth brother! "

Li You nodded, followed by a glance at the huge sun outside and shook his head slightly, the weather is so hot and weird.

In ancient times, there were some ways to fight against the heat. For example, in summer, many people would leave the big bed of a 180-square-meter mansion and come to a cool house built by the water to escape the heat.

There are even some people who specially use runners to transport water to the roof, and go straight down along the eaves to form an artificial water curtain to arouse cool air to cool off the heat.

Of course, ice is the best choice in summer. Put a one-meter-high ice cube in the room, and then use a fan to fan it gently, and the room will become cooler after a while.

These are the means of fighting against the heat in ancient times. However, these means are the means of the rich, while the poor can only use perseverance to fight.

Fortunately, the people in Dunhuafang are much happier than other people in Chang'an. Li You used saltpeter to make ice, and with his back to the Furong Garden, he made a lot of ice.

At night, every household in Dunhuafang can get a piece of ice, one meter high and half a meter wide, to cool down at home. It is used for eating, because saltpeter is added to these ice cubes. Although saltpeter is not very toxic, if eaten, it will cause diarrhea.

If you want edible ice, you have to isolate ice made from saltpeter.

You can make some wooden boxes, and then place the wooden boxes in the ice cubes made of saltpeter, so that the water in the wooden box does not touch the ice cubes made of saltpeter, so that after the temperature of these saltpeter ice cubes drops below zero, the wood The water in the box will also be frozen into ice cubes, which do not contain saltpeter and are edible ice cubes.

Li You added milk, honey, and some fresh fruits to it. Li Mingda liked it very much.

"Ah, it's so cool!"

In the dormitory of the military camp, all the guards who had just finished training walked into their dormitory, and immediately felt the coolness in the dormitory.

"Oh, I don't even want to go out anymore. I feel scared when I think about standing in a military posture in the afternoon.!"

"Hehe. You are just lazy. Go and see the workers at the small high-rise. They are still working on such a hot day. You just stand under the sun and still talk so much nonsense."

"That's right. In order to prevent heatstroke, when I stood in the military posture in the afternoon, I had ice honey water to drink and the young master came to say hello. The time spent in the military posture today was less than half, just because I was worried about our heatstroke."

"Young master is really kind to us. It is my greatest honor to be able to work hard for him."

"That's right, that's right,"

A group of guards in the dormitory all worshiped Li You very much.

And on the small high-rise construction site not far away, the small high-rise has already built three floors at this time, and a group of people are busy working under the sun. These people spare no effort at all, and are working with their greatest enthusiasm.

At this time, more than 20 wheelbarrows were pushed from a distance, and two large barrels were hung on each side of the wheelbarrow. After the wheelbarrow stopped, someone shouted loudly: "Take a rest, we will send you a The iced mung bean soup is here, take a break, drink some iced mung bean soup, and then continue working!"

Mung bean soup has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and also has the effect of relieving heat.If the temperature is relatively high in summer, the body sweats a lot, and the water loss is large, you can use mung bean soup to supplement it. It can clear away heat, replenish qi, quench thirst and diuresis. It is very beneficial.

"Okay. Let's stop for a while. Take a break and drink some iced mung bean soup sent by the young master!" Zhou Zhou shouted loudly.

With Manager Zhou's words, the workers happily stopped their work, picked up their own small bamboo tubes, lined up next to the wheelbarrow in an orderly manner, and began to discount mung bean soup one by one. .

Li You ordered to put enough sugar cubes in the chilled mung bean soup, so if you drink it in one sip, the cold refreshment will infuse your whole body. What's more, you will feel the sweetness on the tip of your tongue. Sweetness can make people feel happy .

So after drinking a bowl of iced mung bean soup, everyone will feel the taste of happiness.

Not only the building workers, soap and soap, suet candles, cement, bricks, but also Li You's steelmaking place, all of which are supplied with iced mung bean soup. Li You ordered that it must be supplied all the time. One must not be overwhelmed in Dunhuafang.

So Chunniang didn't dare to be negligent. Her canteen is a place dedicated to cooking mung bean soup. The candies are really expensive, but Chunniang paid a lot, just to prevent her son-in-law from breaking his promise.

To be honest, Li You's kindness to the people of Dunhuafang is really meticulous. In the past, these people were refugees, but now they are living the happiest life in Dunhuafang.

This is why these common people will use their lives to protect Li You and protect Dunhuafang.

It's just that the people in Dunhuafang are doing well, while the people in other Chang'an workshops are not doing so well. As the temperature rises slowly, more and more people in Chang'an are dying from the heat.

Especially the Qinglongfang next to Dunhuafang. As we have said before, Qinglongfang is the lowest level of Chang’an. There are many poor people here, and more elderly and infirm. These people can’t bear such high temperature weather.

Death slowly began to spread in Chang'an.
