Chapter 37: Chang’an waterlogging

"Xiao Yi, look who's coming!"

In the room, Luo Xiaoyi was sitting by the window looking at the torrential rain outside, when Chang walked in.

"Aunt, didn't I say that no one will be seen?" Luo Xiaoyi replied still looking at the scenery outside the window.

Chang Shi wanted to say something, but Li Yin stopped her, Chang Shi smiled obsequiously and backed out, turning around, her face was as gloomy as the sky at this time.

Li Yin walked over, looked at Luo Xiaoyi's thin body, all kinds of feelings came to his heart, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Why, don't you even see me?"

Luo Xiaoyi's body trembled, turned around, looked at the dripping Li Min, and suddenly wanted to cry, but she immediately suppressed the impulse in her heart, "Your Highness doesn't care about my body too much, so The heavy rain is still coming here, if you get typhoid fever, wouldn't it be Xiao Yi's fault."

The gentle words came out of Luo Xiaoyi's mouth, and the psychological defense line built in Li Yin's heart almost collapsed. He understood that these days of getting along day and night made him like Luo Xiaoyi a little bit. With a wry smile, he tried to speak in a calm tone. : "I'm just passing by, come in to take shelter from the rain!"

"What's wrong, Your Highness? Why are you so indifferent to Xiao Yi?" The woman's sensitivity made her feel that Li Yin today is different from the past.

"No, it's just uncomfortable from the rain!"

Luo Xiaoyi smiled and said: "Then I will ask Xiaolu to boil some hot water for His Highness to get rid of the cold, and then change into dry clothes"!

"No need, I'll leave after a while!" Li Yin pulled back Luo Xiaoyi who was about to go out.

Luo Xiaoyi stared blankly at Li Yin, and suddenly said: "Your Highness, why leave in such a hurry, maybe this is the last time we will meet."

"Why!" Li Yin raised his head, his chest choked.

Luo Xiaoyi didn't answer Li Yin's question, and leaned on him lightly: "When destiny comes, we gather, and when destiny goes, we disperse. Why do you need to ask more questions, Your Highness!"

The heavy rain lasted all night, and the city of Chang'an was severely flooded. Li Yin rode on Honghai'er, and in some deep places, the accumulated water even covered Honghai'er's knees. Drifters.

"Hey, bad luck, there hasn't been such a heavy rain in ten years!" An older elder brought a basin of water from the house and cursed.

"It's not a horse! I remember that the Yellow River flooded and flooded many places!" Another person said.

"I hope the Yellow River doesn't break its embankment this year, otherwise the price of rice in Chang'an will rise again!" one person sighed.

"..."

When Li Yin passed by the folk houses, he heard such conversations from time to time, and he felt a little worry in his heart. Drought and floods are a headache for the court in any era. If they are not handled properly, they will easily lead to civil uprisings. The Yangtze River floods in the 20th century caused enormous damage even with advanced technology, let alone the current Tang Dynasty.

Li Yin thought about this question and passed it. What he was thinking about now was another matter. Luo Xiaoyi was leaving, and the two might never see each other again. He asked why, but Luo Xiaoyi didn't say anything. Just so that he doesn't have to think about her anymore.

Luo Xiaoyi's actions made Li Yin even more confused. Since she was plotting against her, she should be around her, but why did she leave suddenly? At this time, he couldn't help but began to wonder if he and Su Morer were overwhelmed, and when he exhaled foul breath, Li Yin suddenly felt mixed feelings.

In the Taiji Hall, the civil and military ministers lined up on both sides, and there was a whisper in the court hall. Li Shimin sat majestically on the dragon chair and kept scanning the ministers with his eyes. "

Changsun Wuji standing in the front line raised a mocking smile, this Yao Silian is really a lump of elm, he can't figure out the holy meaning, since the emperor raised this problem, he just wanted to solve it, and there was no solution in the past dynasties If the matter of Li Shimin is solved in the hands of Li Shimin, wouldn't it be a proof of Li Shimin's brilliance and prowess.

"Master Yao's words, Wuji disagrees, Chang'an City floods every year will bring inconvenience to the lives of the people, at the feet of the emperor, there are many people talking, don't let them point at the imperial city and make irresponsible remarks!"

Li Shimin nodded, "Does Sikong have any solution?"

Changsun Wuji said in embarrassment: "I am thinking about this matter day and night, but I haven't come up with a proper solution yet!"

Disappointed beyond words, Li Shimin said: "For the waterlogging in Chang'an, I hope that all the ministers and workers will brainstorm. Anyone who proposes a reasonable solution will be rewarded!" After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "In addition, let the areas along the Yellow River Do a good job in flood control and flood control, and some officials who neglect their duties must be severely punished.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

In Prince Liang's Mansion, Li Yin is organizing his servants to clean up the stagnant water in the mansion. After returning to the mansion, he has a big head. Now his mansion has become a fish pond. From time to time, small fish can be seen running around, but it's okay. , The terrain of his palace is relatively high. In one morning, the stagnant water was almost cleared, but the yard was still very muddy.

"Sixth brother!"

Li Yin hadn't breathed heavily yet, and Li Ke came over at some point.

"Why are you here, third brother!" Li Yin asked strangely.

Li Ke looked enviously at the cleaned-up ground on Li Min's mansion, "My mansion is now for fish farming, not for people. I would have chosen your mansion if I knew it back then. The terrain is high, and the accumulated water can be cleaned quickly !"

"Don't get me wrong!" Li Yin glared at him and said.

Li Ke laughed and said, "Is your third brother like this?"

"Yes!" Li Yin did not give him face, "My money..."

"The weather is nice today!" Li Ke interrupted Li Yin tactfully, "My brother will stay at your mansion for a few days, and the palace will be tidied up, so I will go back."

"Mo'er, tell the servants to clean up a room!" Li Ke is his own brother after all, so he can't issue an order to evict guests.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Su Morer took the order and left.

"Not bad!" Li Ke looked at Su Mo'er who was leaving, and said with a strange smile: "Do you have that?"

"Did you think it was you? You actually ruined the girl of the palace!" Li Yin said contemptuously.

"Sixth brother is wrong to say that, why am I ruining them, don't you see they forced me!" Li Ke said dissatisfied.

"Cut!" Li Yin protested with one word.

"I'm not joking with you. Today, my father left a problem for the important ministers in the Tai Chi Hall. He said that whoever can solve the waterlogging in Chang'an Chen will be rewarded. Third brother, I have thought about it for a long time and I have no good idea. You can help me think about it." Think!" Li Ke suddenly said seriously.

"Big reward!" Li Yin was only interested in these two words, "I have a way!" He said.
