Chapter 541 Drought?
Li Shimin took the toothbrush and toothpaste curiously, looked at it, twisted off the toothpaste, put it in his nose and smelled it.
A faint jasmine fragrance hits the nostrils.
"I'll try it."
Li Lizhi opened her mouth, trying to stop her, but in the end she didn't say anything.
According to the method written by Lin Xuan, Li Shimin squeezed some toothpaste and brushed it.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty." Li Mu looked at Li Shimin's mouth with foam and his face turned pale with fright.
"Don't yell, this is normal." Li Shimin said vaguely.
Li Shimin rinsed off the bubbles in his mouth with water, feeling the coolness in his mouth, and there was a faint fragrance of jasmine between his mouth.
"It's really a good thing." Li Shimin praised.
Empress Changsun scolded, "How dare you grab something with your daughter."
She also ate a lot of garlic and always felt a strange smell.
After Li Shimin brushed his teeth, the strange smell was gone, and there was a fresh fragrance in his breath when he spoke. She also wanted such a good thing.
It was just something her son-in-law gave her daughter, and she was too embarrassed to ask for it.
Li Shimin said angrily: "Lin Xuan has such good things, but he didn't know how to send some to me. He is simply not a son of man. Don't worry, since he sent one over, there must be more. Let him send another set to Lizhi." .”
"Father, I want it too."
"Father and me."
When the princes and princesses heard the words, they all spoke.
If only they weren't so hungry for toothbrush and toothpaste.
But now they have to eat garlic every day, and gargle with green salt and willow branches, but they can't get rid of the strange smell at all.
"Okay, okay, everything." Li Shimin was generous with the generosity of others, and agreed very simply.
Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin speechlessly, but she didn't stop him. There was no way, he wanted it too.
"Li Mu, go to Lin Xuan and ask him to send a hundred of this toothbrush and toothpaste." Li Shimin said with a big wave of his hand.
Li Mu took the order and hurried to the Lin family.
When Lin Xuan heard Li Mu's intention, he almost vomited blood.
Don't say one hundred, even fifty he can't get it out.
Although he usually gets a lot of rewards for signing in, such as toothpaste and toothbrush, but it's not every day.
His family uses it every day, and Jiashui Chunyue and Yuhe also use it. Up to now, there are only a dozen toothbrushes and toothpaste left.
"Mr. Li, it's not that I don't give it, the problem is that I really don't have that much." Lin Xuan said with a bitter face.
Li Mu asked: "How much does Hou Ye have now?"
Although Li Shimin asked him to take one hundred of each back, he did not issue an imperial edict, and he planned to take some back and report back first.
"Ten toothbrushes and toothpaste each," Lin Xuan said.
"Then trouble Lord Hou to fetch it first, and let the old slave take it back to his life." Li Mu said.
Lin Xuan asked Chunyue to fetch ten toothpaste and toothbrushes for Li Mu, and sent Li Mu away.
However, this was just the beginning, not long after Li Mu left, Cheng Yaojin came.
"Boy Lin, what kind of toothbrush and toothpaste, give me a thousand of each." Cheng Yaojin sat down on the chair and said with a grin.
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, Li Shimin only wanted one hundred sticks, and you wanted one thousand for each item, why don't you grab it.
"Uncle Cheng, it's really gone. My little stock was taken away by someone sent by His Majesty." Lin Xuan said.
He didn't give all the stock to Li Shimin, but Cheng Yaojin has come, will the others be late?
The few he had left were simply not enough.
Cheng Yaojin stared and said: "Your Majesty has gone too far, I will go find him right now."
Lin Xuan was secretly happy that Li Shimin's dog emperor robbed him, so he should let Cheng Yaojin block him every day.
However, Lin Xuan was too happy. Cheng Yaojin stopped before he reached the door, and said: "Now go and estimate that His Majesty has finished allotment. I don't care about it. You have to get a set for the old man. If you can't, give what you use to me." old man."
Lin Xuan looked at Cheng Yaojin who was as meaty as a hob, and said speechlessly: "Uncle Cheng, toothpaste can be used by many people, but a toothbrush can only be used by one person."
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I don't dislike you."
Is this a matter of dislike or dislike?
No, what do you mean you don't dislike me? Have you asked me if I dislike you?
"Uncle Cheng, how about you go to the palace to find His Majesty first, if His Majesty doesn't have it, I'll send you a copy tomorrow at the latest, how about it?" Lin Xuan said.
Cheng Yaojin nodded and said, "Okay, if you can't do it, I will move in with you."
"Uncle Cheng, don't worry." Lin Xuan almost patted his chest to promise.
After sending Cheng Yaojin away, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
However, this was just the beginning, and then Yu Chigong, Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong... a large group of people came in person or sent people, all for the purpose of toothpaste and toothbrush.
Lin Xuan used the same rhetoric he used to deal with Cheng Yaojin, and sent all these people away.
In the evening, Lin Xuan came to the barracks. Tonight was the day when Xue Rengui and the others set off, and Lin Xuan came here specially to see them off.
Because the army marched out in the middle of the night, it was impossible to drink, so a few people made a hot pot and ate it in the tent.
"Zi Chu, we are waiting for you at the border, you have to hurry up, don't just be so tender with the princess, you don't want to leave." Cheng Chumo said.
"Don't worry, at most one month, I will definitely look for you, remember what I told you." Lin Xuan warned.
Everyone ate and chatted, and when the night was completely dark, the dinner was over.
At the gate of Daying, Xue Rengui, Cheng Chumo and others wore armor and rode on horses.
Ten thousand soldiers rode on horses, except for the neighing of the horses, the scene was silent.
Xue Rengui bowed his hands to Lin Xuan who was standing aside, and led the horse into the night.
The army moved slowly, and after half an hour, the last soldier disappeared before Lin Xuan's eyes.
Lin Xuan stood where he was, silent for a while, got on his horse and went home.
……
Early the next morning, Lin Xuan finished his martial arts practice and dinner, and went to his parents' yard to pay his respects.
"Mom, where did dad go?"
Lin Xuan didn't see Lin Dongyang, so he asked a little strangely.
"Your father has gone to the village. Except for a snowfall during the Chinese New Year, there has been no rain for more than a month. It seems that there will be a severe drought this year. Your father has been looking for someone to build a keel waterwheel these days." Zhang Qing said.
Li Shimin has the reputation of "one emperor through the ages".However, God does not seem to be particularly fond of this rare emperor. During the 23 years of his reign, natural disasters occurred almost every year.
Floods are the most common natural disasters, in addition to droughts, locust plagues and so on.
Lin Xuan frowned slightly. This year is the seventh year of Zhenguan. There seems to be no record of severe drought in Guanzhong in history, only floods in Henan and Shandong.
By the way, it seems that there was an earthquake near Chang'an this year.
History has not recorded this earthquake in detail, so it should not be serious.
Lin Xuan had ignored these before. If Zhang Qing hadn't said that there would be a severe drought in Guanzhong, he would have almost forgotten it.
"Mother, under the auspices of the crown prince, many reservoirs have been built in the Guanzhong area, all of which are filled with water. If it doesn't rain, the imperial court will probably open the gates to release the water. You told Dad not to worry too much," Lin Xuan said.
"The prince is merciful. In this way, even if there is a severe drought and the grain production will decrease, it will not be a failure. The people save a little and can live on." Zhang Qing sighed.
In the second year of Zhenguan, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, and locust plagues appeared again. The entire Guanzhong area basically had no crops.
