Chapter 639: North China Drought
"That's good. Drink it all. I'll be waiting for you."
A pot of sobering tea was not a lot; Liang Chongyue only drank three cups. However, drinking too much sweet wine did give him a headache. Liang Chongyue was worried that Li Yuan seldom drank alcohol, and he would have a headache after sobering up tomorrow.
Secondly, if she wanted him to learn a lesson, next time she came to drink with her, she should first determine the alcohol content and then consider her own alcohol tolerance. Not everyone is a drunkard like He Yanting.
He spends every day soaking in the wine jar, and it is hard to find anyone in the whole capital who can drink more than him.
They drank too much tonight. Liang Chongyue watched Li Yu'an drink two cups of sobering tea and then hold back a burp. He had just been talking about the lovemaking at Wushan, but now he no longer had the heart to do so.
"Rest early tonight. Next time you want to drink, I'll have some soft wine sent to your palace."
After saying that, Liang Chongyue turned around and took off her clothes, leaving only a layer of bright yellow pajamas, and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Li Yu'an leaned back on the Luohan bed and waited until the sobering tea began to take effect and his head was cleared before he climbed onto His Majesty's dragon bed.
Lying beside His Majesty, she looked at him sideways, her eyes slightly red and full of admiration.
The summer was getting hotter day by day, and ice cubes were used in all the palaces. However, when Liang Chongyue walked on the street outside the Yangxin Palace, no matter how coolly he wore, he still felt very hot.
After the morning court session, while having breakfast with Li Yu'an, he thought about it and decided to advance the date of going to the Old Summer Palace.
"It's so hot in the palace. Queen Mother is old. It's not good to be trapped in the Cining Palace every day. Minglang is still young and has never been to the Old Summer Palace. Yu'an can start making preparations. In ten days, I will take you to the Old Summer Palace to escape the heat. You and He Yanting are the only ones in the harem. Take both of you. The people around Queen Mother can look after you in the palace."
It is already mid-August, and it will only be a month at most. When the weather cools down in September, she will bring her people back to the palace.
The scumbag father went to the Old Summer Palace before June and did not return to the palace until the end of September. The harem was in chaos. When the scumbag father returned to the palace, everything was fine.
There's nothing to worry about.
"Yes, I will inform everyone when I get back and start preparing."
Liang Chongyue didn't have to worry about such trivial matters anymore after Li Yu'an left them to him, and began to concentrate on eating.
"It's so hot in the palace. I want to change the daily mung bean soup to twice a day, at noon and in the evening. The palace people don't have much appetite in hot weather. A bowl of mung bean soup before dinner can help them cool down and eat more at dinner."
"Yu An can handle this matter as he sees fit. Also, add an extra basin of ice to each of the servant rooms at night so that the palace ladies can have a good night's sleep."
"Yes, I am grateful to Your Majesty for this gesture on behalf of the palace servants. In such a hot day, nothing would make the palace servants happier than a bowl of mung bean soup and a basin of ice."
Both of these things can be put to practical use, unlike silver, where you have to worry about someone secretly embezzling most of it.
After Li Yu'an had breakfast in the Yangxin Palace, he left the Palace. Liang Chongyue was reviewing memorials when Ping'an suddenly ran in hurriedly from outside.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, urgent news from North China."
Liang Chongyue frowned and put down the wolf-hair brush in his hand, took the letter from Ping'an's hand, quickly opened it and started reading.
"Severe drought."
Liang Chongyue finished reading the letter and murmured those two words silently.
It was so hot, she had already expected that there might be a severe drought this year, but she didn't expect it to happen in North China, which is far away from the capital and is also a developed agricultural area in Daxia. This letter was sent at the end of June and was only delivered now. It seems that the current situation in North China is very grim.
"Summon the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Works, and the Minister of Rites to come before me."
Ping An came in hurriedly, and left hurriedly with His Majesty's instructions. Liang Chongyue read the entire letter from beginning to end, opened the panel, and directly searched the current situation in North China.
As soon as the picture popped up on the panel, Liang Chongyue frowned. The situation was much worse than she had imagined. In the areas of North China where the drought was most severe, the wheat fields that should have been endless at this time were now all in a state of transition. The wheat that should have started to ear was now lying in the fields.
Liang Chongyue inspected all the farmlands in North China. Except for the worst-affected areas, the others were not much better.
As the picture on the panel turned, Liang Chongyue could still see the people kneeling in the farmland and crying, praying to God for rain.
Liang Chongyue no longer had the heart to review memorials. Looking at the severe drought in North China this year, it was no longer something that could be solved by reducing taxes or even not collecting taxes.
After checking everything, Liang Chongyue marked out the most serious areas and left the rest to the system to mark one by one.
"Mark each one for me according to the severity of the drought, and keep an eye on the situation in North China."
The system was still playing with the children in the Cining Palace. On weekdays, when the host was in court and the weather was not too hot, it would go out to play with Minglang and accompany Minglang to practice martial arts. It would return to the Yangxin Palace to sleep when the sky darkened and it was not so hot.
It avoids the sun all day long. Wherever the sun is, it will never appear there, and it won't even go to the muddy puddles near the water.
When he was having fun, the host's voice came in his mind. The system immediately came back to his senses and stood in place to read all the content that the host had just read.
Having been with the host for so many years, it immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and was no longer in the mood to play with Minglang. It grabbed the clothes on the back of Minglang's neck and put him in front of the mother queen who was watching on the side. Then the system ran out without looking back.
The warm white fur emitted golden light at the tips under the scorching sun. The ground was so hot that it burned the feet. The system couldn't help blowing air while running. Although it couldn't blow on the feet, it gave some psychological comfort.
When the system arrived at the Yangxin Palace, it was breathing heavily. Looking at the host's worried face, it lay on the basin and quickly drank a few sips of water. Then it began to observe the situation in North China while looking up historical books for ways to solve the drought.
Seeing the puppy being so attentive and careful, Liang Chongyue let out a long sigh and continued to review the memorials, first solving the current issues before worrying about other things.
