Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 280 He Can Make Ice (Subscribe)

The sun in the sky is very hot. At this time, the temperature outside will be at least [-] degrees. There is no air-conditioning, no electric fans, and some people don't even have a place to shade.

"Bang!"

On Qinglongfang, an older beggar just got up and took a step before falling to the ground.

If an old man falls to the ground in modern times, even though modern morality has been lowered over and over again by some stupid people, I believe that someone will still show up to help the old man up.

It's just that in this Tang Dynasty, and in Qinglongfang, the worst place in the Tang Dynasty, the old man fell down, and no one around him had the slightest idea to help him. This is a very regrettable thing, but it is also a very real thing .

And the old man was not the first person who fell to the ground like this. In the following time, no less than 20 people fell down in Qinglongfang at noon, almost all of them died.

The death of a large number of elderly people finally attracted Li Shimin's attention.Li Shimin, the emperor, was very kind to the people. After he knew that a large number of people died of heatstroke due to the hot weather, Li Shimin immediately took out all the ice stored in the palace and distributed it to the people in Chang'an City for free.

But how much ice can there be in a palace, within three days, all the ice in the palace will be released, and there will be no ice in the palace except some spare ice.

On this day, about 100 people died from Chang'an heat!

In the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin frowned. Sitting in front of Li Shimin were Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji. Both of them were Li Shimin's confidantes. The sudden hot weather caught everyone by surprise.

"Your Majesty, another 97 people fell ill in Chang'an today, the most in the last three days, and according to Taishi Bureau's forecast, this weather will continue for a while."

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Changsun Wuji on the side also said: "All the ice cubes are gone, only some are left for use in the palace."

"There is no need in the palace!" Li Shimin said quickly: "Distribute all the ice cubes. There is no need to reserve them in the palace. I can still hold on!"

"Your Majesty!" After hearing Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji quickly stood up and said together: "No!"

"Why not. My people are suffering, and you let me stay in a place with ice, how can I stay there...!" After speaking, Li Shimin showed a slightly guilty expression.

To be honest, I really want to praise Li Shimin here. No matter what history has to say about Li Shimin's killing of brothers and brothers, the emperor Li Shimin is really good to the people.

When it comes to Li Shimin's kindness to the people, some people will definitely say that Li Shimin's kindness to the people, on the one hand, is because Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty set an example for him.The main reason is that he watched such a powerful Da Sui die so miserably, which left him a profound lesson.

Secondly, Li Shimin seized the throne incorrectly, which has a lot of historical burden, so Li Shimin patiently sang double reeds with Wei Zheng, faced some government affairs seriously, and treated the people cautiously.If his own performance is too bad and his reputation is too bad, even if history is changed, there will be future generations who will write books that will crush his spine.

I don't deny these, but no matter what the reasons why Li Shimin is good to the people, if Li Shimin puts the people first because of these, then he is qualified as an emperor.

The most admirable time among them was that at the end of the Sui Dynasty, many ordinary people in the northern frontier fled to the Turkic territory in order to avoid the war.

In the fifth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty was already extremely stable, and a large population was urgently needed to reclaim land and develop the economy.

Among them, especially the northern frontier region.

In fact, in the first year Li Shimin took the throne, he once asked the Turkic people to let them release the Han people, but they were rejected by the Tujue people.

Now that the Tang Dynasty had regained a little economic strength, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin decided to spend a sum of money to redeem those Han people.

Seeing the open-minded Turkic people, they immediately agreed.

In May of that year, according to the statistics of the relevant departments of Datang, a total of 8 men and women were redeemed.No matter what Li Shimin's purpose is, he is a benevolent king in doing so.

Looking at the guilt-ridden Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the temperature is getting higher and higher. The people are important, but your body, the bodies of the empresses, and the bodies of the princes all need to be taken care of." .”

"Yes." Changsun Wuji also quickly echoed: "Many empresses are not in good health, so Your Majesty must leave some ice for emergencies."

After thinking about it for a while, Li Shimin finally nodded and said: "Okay, let's keep some, but these ices are reserved for the harem, and I will never use half a piece again!"

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji bowed together in awe.

"Today in Chang'an, nearly 100 people died of heat!" A bearded man was sitting on a bearded bed, and beside the bearded bearded bearded man's bearded bed was a large block of ice.

After the bearded man finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth: "No one in Dunhuafang died from the heat!"

"Li You is really a good person. He distributed all the ice cubes. He is a good prince. The people in Dunhuafang are very lucky to follow him!"

"Don't you think it's weird?"

"It's weird.?" The bearded man said disapprovingly, "You are just suspicious. Li You is so weird. I think it's right to do so."

"Hehe...!" After a chuckle, the man next to the bearded man said: "It's strange, it's strange, where did Li You get so many ice cubes? You know, there are not many ice cubes in the palace, but I have been Investigating the amount of ice cubes in Dunhuafang.

You must know that the daily ice consumption in Dunhuafang is the same as before, and it has not decreased at all. "

"Hey, this is really a very strange place, not to mention, sometimes, your suspicions are really on point, and ice cubes are hard to come by, how could Li You have so many?
Could it be that Li You knows magic spells, he can make ice cubes.? "

What the bearded man said was that the speaker had no intention but the listener was interested. At this moment, the man next to the bearded man showed a faint smile and said: "It would be interesting if Li You could make ice cubes. Now every day Some people were dying from the heat, but Li You didn't have the means to make ice cubes.

If this matter is exposed, Li You will definitely become the target of public criticism. "

"That's what you say, but how can anyone in this world have the means to turn water into ice? It's impossible to think about it!" The bearded man shook his head: "It must be the ice cubes that Li You bought from other places at a high price, Li You This man is not short of money."

"Really?" A faint question?
