What's happening in the capital is not Ye Tan's business, nor is it the business of countless people in the world, let alone the common people.

At this time, ordinary people have more important things to do: there is no water.

As the weather gets hotter, careful farmers find that the water in the river is getting less and less. In the past few days, the river bed has been seen, and the lake not far away has also dropped sharply.

Apart from weeds, almost nothing is green.

As a result, each county began to rescue itself. Of course, most of them were to give discounts to the court. The purpose was to report the disaster and express that the people under their control could not eat and were unlucky. It had nothing to do with them and it was all God.

I mean, some fierce people even wrote some excerpts asking His Majesty the Emperor to plead guilty and accept punishment. Anyway, there was a trace of catharsis in the originally depressing atmosphere.

Although Li Yuan liked wine and beautiful women, he was the founding emperor after all. It was still hot outside. He took a few mouthfuls of the tea that had been chilled last year. He looked impatiently at the pile of memorials placed on the brocade couch in front of him, wishing he could just

Out of sight.

"How can this be true? How can this be true? What on earth have I done? After being the emperor for several years, there have been disasters every year. God, are you punishing me?"

It seemed that he was really angry. He claimed that I was the ancestor of his family, and he was planning to usurp the throne.

Seeing Li Yuan's appearance, his advisor and friend Pei Ju hurriedly came over to speak, "Your Majesty, although the drought has suddenly broken out in various places, it is not very serious. Please ensure that the dragon body is the best."

Hearing Pei Ju's words, Li Yuan's originally annoyed expression recovered a little. He was indeed his good friend, someone who ate, drank, had fun, and rebelled together.

But he had to get back the gaffe he had just made. Li Yuan pretended to be calm and collected the memorials in front of him and put them on the table. Suddenly his hand stopped for a moment, as if he thought of something and discovered something.

He looked at the waiter beside him and asked, "Have you sent anything else?"

"Your Majesty, all the reports have been sent here. All the reports have been sent in the past few days." The chamberlain said cautiously. As a person around the emperor, one should generally not speak in full, otherwise it may lead to disaster. However,

He would not say anything less about this kind of thing, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

"But, that's not right." Li Yuan looked at the folding paper on the desk strangely and said.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?" Pei Ju looked at Li Yuan strangely and asked. Isn't he an old fool?

"One state is missing." Although Li Yuan is older and has played with more beauties, the map of this country has never been less in his mind, not even a little bit.

"Which state?" Pei Ju asked in a low voice as he was a little nervous for some reason. The current Tang Dynasty did not yet have the detailed situation of the ten divisions that Taizong Li Shimin had when he was the emperor. However, everyone had an idea of ​​the important towns on the frontier.

A clear understanding is that because it is close to the border, accidents are more likely to happen there, and because of this, everyone remembers it very clearly.

"Songzhou." Li Yuan's words made Pei Ju feel that this was indeed the case. There were members of his own family there. He originally sent Pei Yuan there because this boy might threaten the status of the legitimate son in the family, but that didn't mean that he wanted to

Let the other party die, they still like a sideline who can endure hardships.

"Songzhou?" Pei Ju pretended to be calm and thought for a moment, then his eyes widened and he asked, "Is it Pei Yuan's Songzhou?"

"Is there anything else?" Li Yuan glanced at Pei Ju angrily, and then said to the chamberlain, "Prince Xuan, King Qin, King Qi, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong and Dou Kang are here to discuss matters."

"Here." After the chamberlain finished speaking, he went out to deliver the order, but Pei Ju could only stand there awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Time goes back to the morning seven days ago, at the Governor's Mansion.

At this time, the world is already a bit chaotic. It's just strange that Songzhou City, which should be the most chaotic, does not see these things. Some people want to spread rumors, but they are arrested by Wuhou, even some soldiers.

They were arrested directly, and then they were not killed, but just let them go to work.

At this time, Pei Yuan was discussing with the county magistrates in the governor's office, not how to suppress the mob, nor how to open a porridge shed, but how to protect the people. This kind of meeting may be a strange meeting in many cases, but

That's what Pei Yuan wants to do now.

Although this year's drought has reduced the grass of the Tubo people outside Songzhou City, which may be invaded in the future, the people under their rule have almost no major problems now. Since the previous duel with Ye Tan, Songzhou City has

We have prepared water trucks, water canals and wells. Anyway, there are many people who are idle in farming. If they don’t worry about not doing things, the people used to say that idleness is uncomfortable and tormenting people. But now, no one says this anymore. All kinds of people

Umbrellas, living temples and the like also appeared.

However, it is not yet time for the crops to be harvested, but the problem has arisen. There is nothing wrong with you here, but it may not be the case elsewhere.

Although we are not in a hurry now, in the early Tang Dynasty, the people's financial resources were too thin. If they still had no food in the autumn, something would happen easily. By then, other places would be in bad luck, but you here would be fine. Do you think they

Would you be a gentleman and ignore your place?

"Lord Governor, I think we need to hand over the waterwheel matter to the imperial court, so that the interests of the Tang Dynasty can be satisfied." Tang Sheng is really Sun selling his land, don't feel bad, it is not his own, now he has earned it

It’s cheap and I still want to take credit.

"Yes, this thing is of no use to us now, but it is still very useful to the court." Pan Wei felt a lot more relaxed this year, and Mao Wenwen on the side also nodded.

"But under what name was it handed over to the court?" Pei Yuan asked a little embarrassed, looking at Wang Wenbin.

Wang Wenbin knew what he meant, and he just wanted to tell Ye Tan that this is everyone's credit, not your own, so you don't have to think so much.

"In this matter, I think the Songzhou Governor's Office should be the standard. However, I must also mention Ye Tan. Although this boy is still young, he is a useful talent after all. If his heart is cold this time, it will be

It’s inappropriate, and this time we are like this thanks to him.”

Wang Wenbin's words made several people fall into deep thought. Ye Tan's character was too clear. If he really turned against him, he would not be afraid of him. However, this contribution could not be said to be big or small, and with the help of Song

Using a place as big as mainland China as a model is simply the best solution. If the court really pays attention to such a contribution, then the reward will come second. If there is something like a knighthood, then

Happy.

And Ye Tan is only about eleven years old now. If his name is really reported, it will be a waste. Who would give a teenage boy a title? It is not passed down from his family.

"Then let's do what County Magistrate Wang said. We can't lose money at Ye Tan's place. We have to give benefits. The restaurant at your place should also start to be built. You guys should take a closer look."

After Pei Yuan said this, he did not intend to continue discussing this matter. He had more important things to do.
