Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 197
The spring rain frightens the spring and clears the valley. After the frightening sting, it is the vernal equinox, and the day and night are equally divided.

The ancient vernal equinox is divided into three seasons: "The first time when Xuanwu arrives, the second time when thunder starts to sound, and the third time when lightning begins." That is to say, after the vernal equinox, swallows will fly from the south, and when it rains, the sky will thunder and blow. Send out lightning.

Once the vernal equinox passes, it will be Qingming.

Qingming originates from "Qingming wind".It is recorded in the "Guoyu" in the Spring and Autumn Period: There are "eight winds" in one year, among which the "Qingming wind" belongs to Sunda, that is, "As Yang Qi rises, all things are in harmony with Sunda".In the "Huainanzi Tianwen Xun" written by Liu An in the Han Dynasty, there is also a record that "fifteen days after the spring equinox, when the fight points to the second, the Qingming breeze will arrive".

When the swallows come to the spring society, the pear blossoms lag behind the Qingming...

As soon as Qingming arrives, the temperature rises, which is a good time for spring plowing, so there is a saying that "before and after Qingming, plant melons and beans".

But this year's Qingming Festival, God seems to be unhappy, unwilling to rain a spring rain like oil when the spring plowing is coming.

The old scholars of the Taishi Bureau who studied calendar and astronomy gave His Majesty Li Er a depressing inference-there is little rain this spring.

Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, which was extremely primitive and low in production capacity, even in the 21st century, which is known as the technological explosion, the impact of climate on food production is extremely important.Drought, flood, when people face the might of nature, they can realize how insignificant they are. In front of the might of God, they have nothing to do but watch helplessly.

His Majesty Li Er's worried hair was turning gray.

The plan for a year lies in spring. If the spring plowing is not ideal, will the harvest be good this year?

After more than ten years of hard work and hard work, this country has a strong foundation, the government is clear, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and it is only a little bit short of entering the prosperous age and achieving immortal greatness!
What is the difference?
time of day!

His Majesty Li Er led the officials and the people to do everything they could, and it can even be said that they have done their best. The rest depends on the face of God.

As long as the weather is good for a few years and the common people save a little money, the river will be clean and the sea will be full of food and clothing!
But at this most critical time, a severe drought is about to usher in?
His Majesty Li Er couldn't stay in the Taiji Palace anymore, he was so upset that he couldn't handle his official duties, so he ordered Fang Xuanling to stay in Chang'an and sit in town, while he packed up his chariot, drove to the Lishan Palace, and went out to get some air.

Since the new year, Wei Zheng's health has been worsening day by day, so His Majesty Li Er's behavior of going out of the palace has not been questioned and blocked, which made His Majesty Li Er heaved a sigh of relief and felt that "the sky is high and the birds fly". At the same time, there are also some sighs.

Although His Majesty Li Er wished to kill that old man Wei Zheng, he also understood that it was because of Wei Zheng's existence that he had to give up many willful actions and make great strides forward on the road of "Ming Jun".

Now that Wei Zheng is about to die of old age, no one will ever remonstrate with him mercilessly like Wei Zheng, which makes him quite at a loss...

Although His Majesty Li Er doesn't like ostentation, when the emperor travels, he must ride around and make a big fuss.

The mighty convoy passed outside Xinfeng City. His Majesty Li Er remembered something in the imperial car. He lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the empty official road. Li Junxian called over.

"If someone remembers correctly, there should be a large number of disaster victims gathered here, where are they all gone now?"

Years ago, His Majesty Li Er came here in modest clothes, and saw a row of shacks, the victims were naked, pale and emaciated.Although Fang Jun promised to take in these victims, His Majesty Li Er didn't think he could do it in a short time.

Not to mention the huge amount of money needed to accommodate these victims is almost an astronomical figure, just the problem of houses for so many people is enough for Fang Jun to scratch his head.

Li Junxian rode on the horse, looked around, and replied: "As far as the general knows, Fang Jun is constructing large-scale construction projects in Fangjiawan, experimenting with new irrigation equipment, and recruiting these victims to work."

His Majesty Li Er almost laughed angrily.

Good guy, you bragged to me that you could take in these disaster victims, and I believed you and supported you with tax-free and rent-free support, but in turn, you used the money from the Ministry of Industry to support these disaster victims for you...

After thinking about it, he didn't get angry immediately, and asked again: "Then where are these disaster victims living now?"

This is the big problem. Although it has entered spring, the climate at night is still damp and cold. If there is no house to live in, it is easy to get sick.That guy Fang Jun can use the money from the Ministry of Industry to support those disaster victims, but he can't send all these people to the Ministry of Industry to spend the night, right?
"This... will never be known."

Li Junxian is well aware of the power of the "Hundred Riders" in his hands, and he is very self-disciplined, and he will never go overboard on things that should not be taken care of by himself.So he really doesn't know what Fang Jun has done recently.

His Majesty Li Er became curious. The shacks under the city that were originally used to accommodate the victims had been demolished. Fang Jun must have found accommodation for the victims. But how did he build the houses for thousands of people?

Could it be that... that guy is using these disaster victims as free coolies, driving to create wealth for him, but he doesn't care about the lives of these people?

His Majesty Li Er didn't believe that Fang Jun was such an inhumane person, but he couldn't figure out how Fang Jun solved the accommodation problem of these victims.It has only been a few days since the spring thaw, and houses for thousands of people can be built?

His Majesty Li Er was very worried along the way. As soon as he arrived at the Lishan Palace, he changed into a normal suit and had to go out in modest clothes.

"Father, what is this for?"

Princess Gao Yang happened to come over to talk to His Majesty Li Er, and when she saw that His Majesty Li Er had changed into a regular attire, she immediately clung to her with great interest, and tugged on His Majesty Li Er's lapel without letting go.

His Majesty Li Er wanted to send this weird elf's daughter away, but he could see the girl's big eyes staring at him eagerly, as if saying "take me, take me"...

His Majesty Li Er's heart softened, and after thinking about it again, it would be okay to go to Fang Jun's place, so he had to order her to change into a set of men's clothes, and then brought Li Junxian here, and brought a few loyal "hundred knights" with outstanding martial arts skills. "Jing Rui took Princess Gao Yang in a carriage and went to Fangjiawan in micro clothes.

*********
Riding slowly along the Wei River, the spring breeze blows head-on, but it doesn't feel cold.

The boats on the river travel like weaving, and come and go like shuttles.

Princess Gaoyang was dressed in a mustache with arrow sleeves, with a slim and heroic figure, opened the curtain of the car, looked around excitedly, pointed to the boats on the river and asked, "Why are there so many boats?"

His Majesty Li Er didn't know either, although it was supposed to be the time when the shops in Guanzhong were stocking up at this time, but there were never such many ships in previous years.You must know that these ships are not very eye-catching from a distance on the river, but each of them carries a large number of goods. These many goods are transported to Guanzhong together, and it is difficult to find a single storage place.

So, His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Junxian who was following the steps outside the car...

Li Junxian rubbed his nose and sighed bitterly: "Back to Your Highness, the last general... also doesn't know."

For the first time, His Majesty Li Er felt that the powers and responsibilities of the "Hundred Riders" should be expanded, at least throughout the entire Guanzhong. accurate……

This time, His Majesty Li Er still followed the route he traveled to Fangjiawan last time, passing the huge stone monument standing on the bank of the Wei River.

On the carriage, Princess Gao Yang straightened her back, squinted her beautiful eyes and looked at this stone tablet, which is now well-known in Guanzhong, feeling quite puzzled in her heart.

It was this stele that played tricks on Guanzhong's countless wealthy businessmen, knowing that there was an undisguised conspiracy in it, but had no choice but to take advantage of it willingly.

That black-faced god is not as silly as he looks...

Going all the way, bypassing a river bend, you can see countless ships docked on both sides of the Weishui River, masts and sculls scattered like clouds and stars.

Rows of tall and spacious houses lined up on both sides of the river bank. Ships of goods were hoisted ashore by tall booms on the river bank and put directly into large and strong carriages. Immediately, porters weaved the goods from a hemp rope The person moved the goods out of the pocket, removed the net bag, and the goods were neatly stacked.

The carriage didn't have a carriage or anything like that, it was just a flat plate on which the goods could be placed firmly.

When a cart was full, the coachman raised his whip, and the whip exploded in the air. The horses pulling the cart stretched out their tendons and pulled the cart with difficulty. Eight wheels turned together and slowly drove away from the pier. Immediately another empty carriage filled the space.

The strangeness of the tool and the high efficiency made His Majesty Li Er on the carriage dumbfounded...
