The Taishi Bureau is the place where astrological detection is detected in ancient times, which is the weather forecasting center. Everyone knows that the leader of the Taishi Bureau during the Tang Dynasty was Li Chunfeng, and ancient people still had some superstitions, especially the emperor, who cared very much about the theory of destiny. In their general understanding, it is a large part of the reason why they can enjoy such wealth is because of their good destiny.

Moreover, the amount of one's own national fortune is calculated by looking at the stars in the sky, so the emperor generally attaches great importance to what the astrological officials say.

Li Shimin is of course no exception... At this time, two great gods in the Taishi Bureau of the Tang Dynasty were in charge, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.

However, unfortunately, Li You has not had contact with the two, because Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are not in Chang'an, so Li You don't know why they are not there.

As expected, the Taishi Bureau, without Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, couldn't figure out the reason at all, so he made an evil answer. This answer was a lie to Li You, so Li You disagreed.

"By the way...is there still enough ice in the palace?"

Li You no longer asked about the Taishi Bureau, but instead asked about the ice in the palace, because on such hot days, ice cubes are particularly important.

"In winter, my father ordered to go to a place with good water quality, salvage the ice cubes in the river and put them into the ice cellar, so there are still ice cubes...but because of the increased use, there was no need for ice at this time.

So my father issued an order to save money... We princes who came out could not get it, so I can only come to you, Brother Wu...!"

Li You nodded, then looked at the huge sun outside and shook his head slightly. The weather was so hot that it was really weird.

....................................

In ancient times, there were some methods to fight against the heat. For example, in summer, many people would leave the 180-square-meter luxury house and come to the cool house built beside the water to escape the summer heat.

Some people even use a rotor to transport water to the roof, directly down the eaves, forming artificial water curtains to stimulate cool air to achieve the goal of cooling down.

Of course, is it ice or the best choice in summer. Put a piece of ice cube one meter high in the room and then gently fan it with a fan. The room will soon become cooler.

These were all means to fight against the heat in ancient times, but these means were means to the rich, while the poor could only use perseverance to fight.

Fortunately, the people in Dunhuafang are much happier than other people in Chang'an. Li You used the method of making ice by saltpeter and backed by Furong Garden to make a large amount of ice.

At night, every household in Dunhuafang can get a piece of ice cube, one meter high and half a meter wide, to go home to cool down. However, this ice cube has been clearly told that it can only be used to cool down and cannot be eaten, because all these ice cubes are added with saltpeter. Although saltpeter is not very toxic, if eaten, it will cause diarrhea.

If you want edible ice, you must isolate the ice made from saltpeter.

You can make some wooden boxes and then place the wooden boxes in the ice cubes made of saltpeter, so that the water in the wooden boxes will not touch the ice cubes made of saltpeter. In this way, after these saltpeter ice cubes drop the temperature below zero, the water in the wooden boxes will also be frozen into ice cubes. Such ice cubes do not contain saltpeter, which is edible ice cubes.

Li You added milk, honey, and some fresh fruits to it, which Li Mingda likes very much.

"Ah...so cool...!"

In the military camp dormitory, all the guards who had just finished training walked into their dormitory and immediately felt the chill in the dormitory.

"Oh, I don't want to go out anymore. I think I have to stand in a military posture in the afternoon, so I feel scared...!"

"Haha...you're just lazy. Go and see the workers on the small high-rise. They are still working on such hot days, and you just stand in the sun and have so much nonsense."

"That's... By the way, in order to prevent heatstroke, when I was standing in the military posture in the afternoon, I had ice honey water to drink... And the young master came to say hello specifically. Today, I spent half of the time on the military posture, and I was worried about our heatstroke."

"Young Master is really nice to us. It is my greatest honor to be able to work hard for you."

"Yes, yes...,"

A group of guards in the dormitory admired Li You very much.

On the small high-rise construction site not far away, the small high-rise has already built three floors at this time. A group of people are busy working in the sun. These people are not willing to work at all and are working with their greatest enthusiasm.

At this moment, about twenty wheelbarrows were pushed over from a distance, and two large buckets were hung on both sides of the wheelbarrow. After the wheelbarrow stopped, someone heard a loud shout: "Let's take a break... We're giving you ice mung bean soup, take a break, drink some ice mung bean soup, and then continue to do it...!"

Mung bean soup has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and also has the effect of relieving heat. If the temperature is relatively high in summer, the body sweats a lot and the water loss is large, mung bean soup can be used to supplement it, which can clear heat and replenish qi, quench thirst and promote diuresis... It is very beneficial.

"Okay... Everyone stop... Let's take a break and drink some iced mung bean soup sent by the young master..." Zhou Zhou shouted loudly.

With Manager Zhou's words, the workers who worked happily stopped their work, and then picked up their own small bamboo tubes, came to the wheelbarrow, lined up in an orderly manner, and started to discount mung bean soup in turn.

Li You ordered to add enough sugar cubes to the iced mung bean soup, so if you drink it in one sip, the coolness will be instilled into the whole body. What's better is that the tip of the tongue will feel sweet, which can make people feel happy.

So if you drink a bowl of iced mung bean soup, everyone will feel the taste of happiness.

Not only the workers who built the building, soap, soap, candles, cement, and burnt bricks... but also Li You's steelmaking places are all supplied with iced mung bean soup. Li You ordered that it must be supplied at all times, and no one in Dunhuafang was poured over by heat.

So Chunniang didn't dare to neglect her. Her cafeteria was a place where mung bean soup was specially cooked. The candy was really expensive, but Chunniang gave it all in order not to let her son-in-law break her promise.

To be honest, Li You’s kindness to the people of Dunhuafang is really meticulous. These people used to be refugees, but now in Dunhuafang, they all live the happiest life.

This is also why these people use their lives to protect Li You and Dunhuafang.

However, the people in Dunhuafang lived well, while the people in other Chang'an did not live so well. The temperature gradually increased, and more and more people were dying of heat in Chang'an.

Especially Qinglongfang next to Dunhuafang, we once said that Qinglongfang is the lowest level of Chang'an. There are many people here, and there are more old and weak people. These people can't stand such high temperatures.

Death slowly began to spread in Chang'an.
