In the next few days, Wei Changtian was busy dealing with some "trivial matters" in the aftermath.

Of course, he was too lazy to participate in most things, and Su Qi and Li Zimu basically made the decisions.

But even so, there were still many "big things" that required his decision. In addition, the Tengu Army also needed to rest and reorganize, and there were still some resistance forces in various prefectures and counties in Daqian, so it was delayed for a few days.

In this way, time soon came to June 25th, the summer heat.

When the red sun passes, the breeze is nowhere to be found.

Talking about scriptures and pillow books, melons and plums are full of ups and downs.

As the last solar term of summer, the days before and after the Great Heat should be the hottest time of the year.

The sun was blazing in the sky, the sun was like countless fine needles pricking the skin, causing pain, and the cicadas chirping on the trees were so noisy that it made people feel upset.

If there was a thermometer, the temperature in the city would be around 45 degrees at the moment. There were not many pedestrians on the street anymore. Occasionally there were a few shirtless men walking in the shade of the trees carrying cargo loads, all covered in sweat.

At this time, they have to work hard. Most of these men are so poor that they can't eat even if they stop working for one day.

After all, if you are not careful on such a hot day, you will faint from heatstroke. Not only will you suffer, but you will also have to spend money on medicine.

Many people can't stand the heat even while sitting at home, let alone going out to do things.

Of course, these are just the situations of ordinary people.

For wealthy families, even if they don't have air conditioners or fans, there are always ways to cool down.

For example, a "cool house" built underground or in the shade, or ice cubes paired with a large fan... can have some cooling effect.

As for a "big shot" like Wei Changtian, this is even less of a problem.

In the Daqian Palace, his "temporary office" was entirely shrouded in a formation called the "Cooling Formation", which continuously provided cool air to the room like a central air conditioner, keeping the indoor temperature at around 20 degrees. .

This formation is not a novelty, and it also embodies some of the fun of the world of cultivation.

I think when Wei Changtian first experienced this formation in the Wei Mansion, he was curious and studied it for a while, but now he is no longer surprised.

"Dong dong dong."

"Mr. Wei, Mr. Su and Miss Li would like to see you."

Along with a knock on the door, the guard's voice sounded outside the door.

"Let them in."

Wei Changtian responded and closed an ancient book he had just found from the Daqian royal library in his hand.

"Son."

"Son."

The door opened and Su Qi and Li Zimu walked into the room one after another and said hello to each other.

"sit down."

Wei Changtian nodded, a palace maid served tea to the two of them, and then wisely withdrew.

After the palace maid left, Li Zimu directly reported to Wei Changtian without waiting for Wei Changtian to ask questions:

"Sir, the three members of the Jing family have been found."

"Is it?"

Wei Changtian's expression did not change much: "Are you dead?"

"I killed two, and one of them was protected by a master, so I couldn't succeed."

Li Zimu answered truthfully: "But we have found traces of this person again, and we will not miss him again this time."

"Um."

As if he didn't care about it at all, Wei Changtian just yawned indifferently: "Haha~ How are the courtiers doing?"

"My servants have already asked each of them."

Li Zimu replied softly: "According to Master Su's instructions, all those who disobeyed Mr. Su are dead. There are about ten people."

"We also killed those who pretended to surrender but actually had other agendas in their hearts. There were also more than ten people."

"That means killing almost half of them?"

Wei Changtian asked casually: "Are the remaining half willing to assist Mr. Su?"

"yes."

Li Zimu nodded: "Although it may not be sincere, at least it will not cause trouble in the future."

"Okay, that's enough."

Wei Changtian took a sip of tea and turned to look at Su Qi sitting on the other side.

Ever since the two of them came in, it was Li Zimu who had been talking, completely ignoring him.

Although Su Qi is indeed just a puppet emperor, he still has to give others some face...

"Master Su, I wonder why you came to see me this time?"

After asking Su Qi with a smile, Wei Changtian thought that he should always give the latter a chance to speak.

After hearing this, Su Qi glanced at Li Zimu first, and when he saw the latter nodded, he quickly took out a long booklet from his sleeve.

"Sir, this is a list of all the big households in all the prefectures and counties of Daqian. Those marked in red boxes are all families related to the Jing family, and those marked in red circles are families with a very close relationship."

"I would also like to ask the young master to take a look..."

As he spoke, he stood up and placed the roster in front of Wei Changtian.

Su Qi just stood aside and waited with his hands down, while Wei Changtian glanced at Li Zimu with a smile, and then picked up the roster and flipped through it casually.

It was obvious that when Su Qi read this brochure to himself, he undoubtedly wanted to know how to deal with these families marked in red.

After all, although the Jing family is finished, families that are connected or even related to the Jing family are still spread throughout Daqian.

These large households may become destabilizing factors for the new dynasty in the future and should not be ignored.

But killing them all is unrealistic, so they need to be handled properly.

Of course, there is no standard "handling process" for this kind of thing. Each dynasty has different handling methods when it changes dynasties.

So Wei Changtian didn't bother to care about this, and after looking at it for a few times, he said casually:

"Master Su, I don't know much about Daqian's situation. It's up to you and Zimu to figure it out."

"Oh, yes, there is a He family in Le'an Prefecture who runs a pawnshop and bank business. There are juniors in his family who know me. Please be careful when the time comes."

He family in Le'an Prefecture.

There is no doubt that Wei Changtian is referring to He Jing's family.

Although Wei Changtian felt that the size of the He family should not be included in this booklet, he still mentioned it by the way.

When they heard that he specifically mentioned the He family, Li Zimu and Su Qi couldn't help but look a little stunned.

Neither of them knew when Wei Changtian met such a person named He, but of course they didn't ask, so they just remembered "the He family in Le'an Prefecture" in their hearts.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's Young Master, I understand."

Nodding and putting the fold away, Su Qi returned to his seat and sat down.

Wei Changtian seemed to have remembered something at this time, and suddenly asked:

"By the way, Mr. Su, it's the end of June now. What are your plans for the imperial examination in August?"

"this......"

Su Qi was stunned, wondering why Wei Changtian suddenly mentioned taking the imperial examination.

Although this year is indeed the year of the imperial examination, when the new dynasty changes to the old dynasty, the imperial examination will naturally not be held smoothly.

Su Qi didn't understand what Wei Changtian meant for a while, so he had to answer truthfully:

"Back to the Young Master, there are only a few months left until August, and the new dynasty has not yet been established. I feel that this year's imperial examinations may need to be temporarily canceled until three years later."

"There's no need to cancel."

Wei Changtian shook his head and said with a smile: "Now is the time for the new dynasty to hire people. I think we can take this opportunity to select some young talents for the new dynasty."

"Well......"

Looking up at Wei Changtian with a blank look on his face, Su Qixin asked how many of the people selected now would be willing to serve the new dynasty.

But Wei Changtian said so, and he couldn't refuse, so he could only bow his head and respond:

"Yes, I will order the officials to supervise this matter and will not delay this year's imperial examination."

"..."

In this way, Wei Changtian conveniently helped He Jing two more times.

After that, the three of them chatted in the room for a while, and then Su Qi and Li Zimu wanted to say goodbye and leave.

However, Wei Changtian kept Li Zimu.

"It seems that you control him very strictly..."
