Li Shimin curiously took the toothbrush and toothpaste and looked at it. He opened the toothpaste and put it between his nose and smelled it.
A faint scent of jasmine comes to your nose.
"I'll give it a try."
Li Lizhi opened her mouth to stop her, but in the end she said nothing.
Li Shimin followed the method written by Lin Xuan, squeezed some toothpaste and started brushing.
"Your Majesty." Li Mu looked at Li Shimin foaming at his mouth and turned pale with fright.
"Don't yell, this is normal." Li Shimin said vaguely.
Li Shimin rinsed the foam in his mouth with water. He felt his mouth was cool and there was a faint fragrance of jasmine in his mouth.
"It's really good stuff." Li Shimin praised.
Empress Changsun said angrily: "Why are you so embarrassed to snatch things from your daughter?"
She also ate a lot of garlic and always felt a strange smell.
After Li Shimin brushed his teeth, the strange smell disappeared, and there was still a fresh fragrance when he spoke and exhaled. She also wanted such a good thing.
It was just something given to her daughter by her son-in-law, but she was too embarrassed to ask for it.
Li Shimin said angrily: "Lin Xuan has such good things and doesn't know how to give me some. He is simply not a son of a man. Don't worry, since he sent one, there must be more. Just ask him to send another set to Li Zhi.
.”
"Father, I want it too."
"Father, you still have me."
After hearing this, the princes and princesses spoke one after another.
If they weren't so thirsty for toothbrushes and toothpaste normally.
But now they have to eat garlic every day and gargle with green salt and willow branches, but they can't get rid of the strange smell at all.
"Okay, okay, I have everything." Li Shimin was generous to others and agreed very simply.
Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin speechlessly, but did not stop him. She had no choice but to do it, he wanted it too.
"Li Mu, go to Lin Xuan and ask him to send a hundred of these toothbrushes and toothpaste." Li Shimin said with a wave of his hand.
Li Mu took the order and hurried to Lin's house.
Lin Xuan almost vomited blood when he heard Li Mu's intention.
Not to mention the same one hundred, even if it's fifty he can't come up with it.
Although he usually gets a lot of rewards for signing in, such as toothpaste and toothbrushes, they are not rewarded every day.
His family uses it every day, and Chunyue and Yuhe also use it, and now there are only a dozen toothbrushes and toothpaste left.
"Mr. Li, it's not that I don't give it, the problem is that I really don't have that much." Lin Xuan said with a bitter face.
Li Mu asked: "How much does the Marquis have now?"
Although Li Shimin asked him to bring back a hundred of each kind, he did not issue an imperial edict. He planned to take some back and return to his post first.
"Ten toothbrushes and toothpaste each." Lin Xuan said.
"Then please get it first, Lord Marquis, and let me take it back to life." Li Mu said.
Lin Xuan asked Chun Yue to get ten toothpaste and toothbrushes for Li Mu, and sent Li Mu away.
However, this was just the beginning. Not long after Li Mu left, Cheng Yaojin came.
"Boy Lin, give me a thousand of each toothbrush and toothpaste." Cheng Yaojin sat down on the chair and said with a grin.
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, Li Shimin only wants a hundred, you want a thousand of each, why don't you go and grab it.
"Uncle Cheng, it's really gone. All the inventory I had was taken away by the people sent by His Majesty." Lin Xuan said.
He didn't give all the inventory to Li Shimin, but since Cheng Yaojin is here, will it be too late for others?
The few remaining ones he had were simply not enough.
Cheng Yaojin stared and said, "Your Majesty has gone too far. I will go find him right away."
Lin Xuan was secretly happy in his heart. If that dog emperor Li Shimin robbed him, he should let Cheng Yaojin stop him every day.
However, Lin Xuan was happy too early. Cheng Yaojin stopped before he reached the door and said: "Now go and estimate that your majesty has finished dividing them. I don't care. You have to get me a set. If you can't, give me the one you use."
Old man."
Lin Xuan looked at Cheng Yaojin, who was as fleshy as a hob, and said somewhat speechlessly: "Uncle Cheng, toothpaste can be used by many people, but toothbrush can only be used by one person."
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I don't dislike you."
Is this a question of whether to dislike it or not?
No, what do you mean you don’t dislike me? Have you ever asked me if I dislike you?
"Uncle Cheng, how about you go to the palace to find your majesty first? If your majesty doesn't have it, I will send you a copy tomorrow at the latest?" Lin Xuan said.
Cheng Yaojin nodded and said, "Okay, if you can't do it, I will move into your house."
"Uncle Cheng, don't worry." Lin Xuan almost promised with a pat on his chest.
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief after Cheng Yaojin was sent away.
However, this was just the beginning. Next, Yuchi Gong, Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong... a large group of people came either in person or sent people to come, all for toothpaste and toothbrushes.
Lin Xuan used the same rhetoric he used to deal with Cheng Yaojin and sent these people away.
In the evening, Lin Xuan came to the military camp. Tonight was the day that Xue Rengui and the others were setting off, and Lin Xuan came specially to see them off.
Because the army set off in the middle of the night, drinking was impossible, so a few people made a hot pot and ate it in the camp.
"Zi Chu, we are waiting for you at the border. You have to hurry up. Don't just indulge in the tender love with the princess and forget about Shu." Cheng Chumo said.
"Don't worry, I will definitely come to find you within a month at most. Remember what I told you." Lin Xuan warned.
Everyone chatted while eating, and when the night turned completely dark, the dinner was over.
At the gate of the camp, Xue Rengui, Cheng Chumo and others were wearing armor and riding on horses.
Ten thousand soldiers were on horseback, and except for the neighing of the horses, the scene was quiet.
Xue Rengui held his hands far away from Lin Xuan, who was standing aside, and took the lead on his horse into the night.
The army moved slowly, and half an hour later, the last soldier disappeared in front of Lin Xuan's eyes.
Lin Xuan stood there, silent for a long time, then mounted his horse and went home.
…
Early the next morning, Lin Xuan finished his martial arts practice, finished his meal, and went to his parents' yard to say hello.
"Mom, where is dad?"
Lin Xuan didn't see Lin Dongyang and asked a little strangely.
"Your father went to the village. Except for a snowfall during the Chinese New Year, there has been no rain for more than a month. It looks like there will be a severe drought this year. Your father is looking for someone to build a keel waterwheel these days." Zhang
Qing said.
Li Shimin has the reputation of "one emperor through the ages". However, God does not seem to favor this rare emperor particularly. During his 23 years of rule, natural disasters occurred almost every year.
The most common natural disasters are floods, followed by droughts, locust plagues, etc.
Lin Xuan frowned slightly. This year is the seventh year of Zhenguan. There seems to be no record of severe drought in Guanzhong in history, only floods in Henan and Shandong.
By the way, it seems that there was an earthquake near Chang'an this year.
Historical records of this earthquake are not detailed, and it should not be serious.
Lin Xuan had ignored these before. If Zhang Qing hadn't said that there was going to be a severe drought in Guanzhong, he would have almost forgotten it.
"Mom, under the auspices of the prince, many reservoirs have been built in the Guanzhong area, all of which contain water. If it doesn't rain yet, the court will open the gates and release the water. You tell dad not to worry too much," Lin Xuan said.
"The prince is kind. In this way, even if there is a severe drought, although the grain production will be reduced, the harvest will not be lost. The people can save a little and live their lives." Zhang Qing sighed.
In the second year of Zhenguan, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong and a locust plague occurred. The entire Guanzhong area basically had no harvest, and the tragedy of people exchanging their children for food is still vivid in our minds.
