After the marriage, I married the most treacherous minister of the dynasty
Chapter 310 Drought
In the capital, Su Qingwan looked at the bright sun hanging in the sky with a frown on her face.
She was wearing the lightest silk in the yard, but she was still very hot.
There were many basins of ice in the room, but it was still hot.
Nowadays, the price of ice in Beijing has reached a sky-high price of two taels of silver per basin, but even so, people still flock to it.
It's too hot this year.
It hasn't rained in Beijing for more than a month, and I heard that the situation in other places is even worse.
When it was meal time, most of the dishes served were meat, but the only vegetable dish was a plate of yellowish greens.
Fearing that Su Qingwan and Yan Mingjue would blame her, Qinshu said:
"It hasn't rained for a long time, and all the vegetables on the farm have died in the sun."
"Today, the steward of the mansion went to the market but couldn't buy any vegetables."
Su Qingwan nodded to show that she understood, and then asked Qinshu and the others to go down first.
She didn't have much of an appetite to begin with, and looking at the plates of meat, she couldn't eat any more. She picked up two pieces of food with her chopsticks and put them down.
These past few days, it was too hot, and Yan Mingjue did not go to work, but spent more time in the mansion.
Seeing that Su Qingwan only took two bites and put it down, he frowned and said:
"Eat some more."
She was much thinner than before, and her waist could be circled with one hand.
"Can't eat it."
Yan Mingjue knew that she was afraid of heat, so he could only ask someone to bring some fruits like grapes so that she could eat some.
The weather is too hot, fruits are becoming less and less available, and the prices are not low.
"If this continues, I'm afraid there will be a disaster."
Su Qingwan looked at the sky and said.
There was no such severe drought in the past life.
After rebirth, many things have changed.
"It's already a disaster."
Yan Mingjue spoke.
He was the most well-informed because there was severe drought in many places and the people's harvest was poor, and in many places there was not even a single harvest.
The tax payment day has come again, but for those people, it is difficult even to survive, let alone pay taxes.
Moreover, in such hot weather, rivers have dried up in many places and we can only rely on well water.
Some people were even burned to death.
This news should have reached the palace. The emperor is convening the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Agriculture to discuss countermeasures.
But the effect is minimal.
Drought cannot be solved by human power.
He got the news that the emperor wanted to pray in person.
What he is worried about now is that some people might take advantage of this natural disaster to cause trouble, and his prayers will not be so smooth.
Su Qingwan didn't know what he was thinking. She looked at the sky and murmured:
"When it's cold, we can use greenhouse planting to solve the problem, but what should we do if there is no water?"
How to irrigate crops?
Yan Mingjue glanced at the sky and said:
"After a severe drought, there may be severe floods."
He now just hopes there won’t be any more severe floods.
Yan Mingjue's information was correct. The next day during the morning court session, the emperor announced that he would go to pray for blessings.
During this prayer, the safety of Emperor Xuanwu was still entrusted to the Imperial Guards, with the Eagle House providing assistance.
Emperor Xuanwu also allowed Yan Mingjue to accompany him in the court, which shows his trust in him.
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, all the court officials had a new definition of Yan Mingjue in their minds.
Su Yucheng secretly felt lucky that he did not completely break off relations with Su Qingwan and sign a letter of severance. After all, he was still Yan Mingjue's father-in-law.
As long as he has this relationship, Yan Ming will never do anything to the Su family.
Chen Qi's face looked a little ugly.
He is the leader of the Eagle House.
However, on these occasions, the emperor bypassed him and issued orders directly to Yan Mingjue.
Seeing Yan Mingjue's high-spirited look, he couldn't help but say:
"Ming Jue, since the emperor values you, you must do your job well and never let the emperor down."
Yan Ming was still as respectful as before:
"Thank you for your teachings, Commander."
Seeing that he was unmoved, Chen Qi snorted coldly and left.
There was a hint of mockery in Yan Mingjue's eyes. Chen Qi still didn't know why the emperor disliked him.
The emperor established the Eagle Corps with the purpose of making them listen to him only. However, Chen Qi was instigated by the eldest princess last time and wanted to deal with him.
Chen Qi thought this was a trivial matter, but he didn't know that this violated the emperor's taboo.
