Chapter 23 Raw water and boiling water

Territory testing: 2,000 mu of land and 13,600 population.

After receiving the system prompt, Li Zheng was a little surprised, why his land had increased for no reason.

Just as a little eunuch came with a team of officers and soldiers, he left after finishing the imperial edict to Li Zhengnian.

Holding the imperial edict in his hand and looking over and over again, Li Shimin gave himself another 600 acres of land, three miles west of Jingyang...

Cheng Chumo also looked at the imperial edict and said, "You have made contributions to building the river embankment and reclamation of wasteland. Your Majesty has rewarded you with your fiefdom again, but it is not right to look at the fiefdom."

"Why is it wrong?" Li Zheng asked.

Cheng Chumo looked to the west of Jingyang and could see a mountain from afar, "Isn't that a mountain? What's the use of your Majesty giving you a mountain?"

"I don't know." Li Zheng was also surprised.

It turned out that I took the initiative to build the river embankment and made contributions.

"No one else can think of it, just build it first, so it's better to have rewards than to have no rewards," said Cheng Chumo.

"This time the business has been done. I have some medicine here. Do you want it?" Li Zheng asked.

"Your medicine is really good." Cheng Chumo patted his chest and said, "People who have been beaten up say this medicine is good."

There are still many Yunnan Baiyao in the system pharmacies. Li Zheng thought that if he gave him Yunnan Baiyao again, this coward would be too immoral to chase people to sell medicine every day.

After thinking about it, Li Zheng walked into the clinic and took out a box of cooling oil from the system pharmacy. There were about 500 boxes in it.

This cooling oil is still a very old brand, and it uses a small round box with a very old feel.

Put the cooling oil in front of Cheng Chumo.

Li Zheng said: "This time we will sell something else."

After taking the cooling oil, Cheng Chumo opened the box and sniffed it: "How to use this thing?"

Li Zheng applied the cooling oil on Cheng Chumo's temple and asked, "How do you feel?! Is it particularly refreshing?"

Cheng Chumo suddenly opened his eyes wide and took a deep breath like a revelation, "So cool and refreshing!"

Li Zheng was relieved of Cheng Chumo's business ability. Even if his Cheng family forced to buy and sell, there would be no big deal.

Just be more domineering and shameless.

The two agreed on the price, and a box of cooling oil was always paid, and signed and sealed the contract.

Cheng Chumo was very happy. Li Zheng’s medicine was very easy to sell, so who couldn’t get over the money?

Although the old Cheng family is so majestic, there is not much surplus food at home.

"By the way." Cheng Chumo said to Li Zheng: "I recently heard news in Chang'an that there is no food in the court. My old man is already storing grain. You can save more food during this period."

Li Zheng remembered the incident in the early years of Zhenguan in history. A major flood flooded the crops, and then some people started to raise the price of food.

However, some historical experts in later generations believed that this was an action by the five surnames against Li Shimin.

The purpose is to make Li Shimin make greater concessions to the five surnames.

Li Shimin, who had just ascended the throne, was ambitious and naturally knew the threat of the five surnames to the current dynasty.

But after this flood, it hit Li Shimin's seven inches, and the most important thing is to eat.

Li Zheng thought that the flood had been dealt with very promptly now.

Unexpectedly, what should come is still here.

Li Shimin brought Fang Xuanling and Li Junxian to Jingyang County again, and saw Cheng Chumo and Li Zheng talking from afar.

"I didn't expect that Li Zheng, a kid, had contact with the boy from the Cheng Yaojin family." Li Shimin was a little surprised.

Nowadays, people in Chang'an say that Li Zheng is a fool who acts strangely and doesn't even distinguish between wasteland.

Even if Qin Qiong and Du Ruhui asked him to be an official, he would not want it.

He cured the queen's illness, but he wanted a large wasteland.

There are a lot of discussions about Li Zheng in the market. Being able to solve the nine-chapter mathematics shows that this person is smart, but a fool is always a fool.

In Li Shimin's eyes, Li Zheng would definitely not be a fool.

After Cheng Chumo left with a box of things.

Only then did Li Shimin walk to the clinic.

"Li Zheng, I'm here again." Li Shimin walked to the entrance of the clinic.

"Please come in quickly." Li Zheng warmly invited him and made three cups of tea for them.

The treatment of these three people is much better than that of Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Chumo made money together, and these three people gave money for free.

Li Shimin looked at the tea in the cup and asked, "Which is soaked here?"

Li Zheng introduced: "Glycyrrhizae, honeysuckle."

Usually, Li Shimin would add some ghee to the tea soup, and this kid would directly put dry wolfberry in the cup.

I don’t know the medicinal materials such as wolfberry and honeysuckle.

It tastes a bit sweet after drinking it, but it can drive away the cold after it rains.

Li Shimin asked, "Congratulations, I heard that Your Majesty has rewarded you with land again."

"You will know the imperial edict you just sent for a while. You are well-informed. I guess you have some connections in the court." Li Zheng said.

Fang Xuanling smiled awkwardly, "I do have some acquaintances in the court."

Seeing the two of them, Li Zheng took out two boxes of cooling oil, "Dig a little and apply it on the temple to refresh his mind."

"Yeah?"

Li Shimin immediately tried it, applied cooling oil on his temples, took a deep breath and a coolness that penetrated his nose, and his whole body became much more refreshed.

My thoughts suddenly became much clearer.

"How is it, it's not bad. You're always a box of money." Li Zheng said.

"You kid..." Li Shimin laughed and cursed, and took out a piece of silver cake, but it was much smaller than before.

Seeing Li Zheng accepting the money, Li Shimin secretly confirmed in his heart that this kid still loves money.

Fang Xuanling asked, "I have asked you, it is said that you never drink water directly. You have to boil it before drinking it. What is the reason."

"Because there are bacteria in the water." Li Zheng said.

"What are bacteria?" Fang Xuanling asked again.

"It's just a small insect, such as microorganisms or some dirty things, which we can't see with our naked eyes. Drinking raw water can easily cause diarrhea."

After hearing Li Zheng's words, Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin looked at each other, and this was the first time he heard such a statement.

However, after thinking about it carefully, there were indeed many people who had a stomachache after drinking water during the marching and fighting, but they didn't take it seriously.

However, this kid reminded that if the generals eat their stomachs during the marching and war, it is easy to delay things.

Li Shimin thought in his heart that he might be able to implement it in the army.

Sun Simiao also said that when he was in a village, the whole village had a stomachache, but there was something wrong with the river.

It is also said that the water is not clean, so it is better to drink it after boiling it. Sun Simiao also advocated not drinking raw water.

But no one cares, and I am used to drinking the river water when I pick it up, so I don’t want to be too troublesome.

After thinking about this, Li Shimin said again: "You said there will be a heavy rain in Chang'an in the second half of the month, but you really got it."

"According to it." Li Zheng smiled.

"After I advised Your Majesty, I built the river embankment, but fortunately it was not too serious." Fang Xuanling stood up and bowed to Li Zheng and said, "Thank you, my brother, for your advice. I thank you on behalf of the people."
