The head of Chang'an County not only put up curtains for them, but also gave them iced mung bean soup to relieve the heat. Later, they also had cucumber soup, winter melon soup, kelp soup, and bean sprout soup. Now, in order to keep them cool, they also
Got some kind of fan like this.
When the fan turned, the wind blew across their faces, and the feeling was as comfortable as if cold water had been poured on their hearts.
When they received relief porridge here before, they felt that they were despised. The guards guarding the city and the people who gave porridge in the morning looked at them as if they were looking at dirty things.
They know that their coming here has put a lot of pressure on Fucheng, and it is normal for others to hate them. But if they don't come here, they won't be able to survive!
In order to survive, it doesn't matter even if you are rejected.
But the Chang'an County Lord was different. She didn't dislike them. Her actions made them feel that they were respected. They were not scary bugs, they were upright people.
She made them believe that they only encountered some temporary difficulties, and as long as they got over it, they would have a new life!
She ignited their hope of life!
After Cui Heng heard what He Yunxi did, he sat in his chair and froze for a long time, and then sighed: "The Lord of Chang'an County is really good!"
He had seen a lot of people from the royal family, and he had also seen people in the capital giving alms to the poor. But no one's actions had ever touched his heart.
Because there has never been anyone who thinks about the people so deeply like her.
Even he is far behind her.
In fact, he once had the idea of doing practical things for the people, but after operating in the officialdom for so long, his original intention has been lost.
These actions of the Chang'an County Lord seem to have awakened his long-dormant original intention.
Maybe, he can do something.
When other people in Fucheng learned that He Yunxi had made a fan that could produce wind, they were all curious and went out of the city to take a look. They saw a fan placed at the entrance of a shed outside the city, with a rope hanging underneath, and a young man pulling it every time.
, the fan will produce a strong wind, which can blow half the depth of the shed, which is really amazing.
At the same time, they became even more curious about the mayor of Chang'an County. Who is she? She can actually make such a thing. With this, the hot weather will be better!
It's a pity that this thing doesn't look easy to make, and I don't know how the Chang'an County Lord's Palace makes it.
While others were curious and lamented that they couldn't get a fan, Zhou Xia and her mother-in-law were enjoying themselves at home, blowing on the fan and eating iced drinks.
"It seems that the relationship between our Shao Yu and the county government is better than we imagined!" Mrs. Yu sighed with emotion.
No one else knows how this fan is made, but the Yu family has already got one.
"But since Shao Yu didn't say anything, don't ask further. The county master has always kept a low profile, which means the county master doesn't want others to know who she is. The county master is a good person, and we can't cause trouble to others."
"Mom, I know. Except for you and me, no one else in our house knows that we are in contact with the county government through Shao Yu." Zhou Xia is a very knowledgeable person and knows how to do things that are more beneficial to the Yu family.
Moreover, she admired and was moved by what Chang'an County Lord did for the people, and she was even more unwilling to cause trouble to Chang'an County Lord.
"Then what do people say when they ask about this fan?" Mrs. Yu asked.
"It's easy, just say it was given to my mother by the county government. Do those people dare to go to the county government's office and ask if it is true?" Zhou Xia said.
Mrs. Yu nodded.
Those people wouldn't ask. And because of the relationship between the Yu family and the county government, they would think it was not surprising that the county government gave fans to the Yu family.
As for Huang Yumin’s fan, we haven’t given it away for the time being due to unsafe reasons. We will take it back when he returns home from the exam.
He Yunxi followed the people in the city out to see what was going on outside the city. There were a lot of people curious about fans recently, so she wouldn't feel out of place if she went there.
Outside the city, in addition to the county government and the Yu family, there are curtain sheds built by other families. There are also some sheds built with tree trunks and hay beside them. They look strange, but they can also block the sun.
The people sitting in the curtain were all old people and children, there were no young people, and the fans were pulled by young people.
What made her more gratified was that there was light in the eyes of these refugees, and they were no longer as numb and gloomy as they had been when they entered the city.
These refugees have hope in their hearts.
Cui Heng also came out at this time, just as He Yunxi was entering the city, and when he was leaving the city, their carriages happened to pass by.
Cui Heng opened the curtains to take a look. He Yunxi's carriage hit a small stone and shook it, which just opened the curtains. Cui Heng saw He Yunxi sitting inside at a glance.
If it were an ordinary person, he would forget it after just one glance. But when he saw He Yunxi, he inexplicably remembered her appearance.
But he didn't think anything of it, walked through the city gate and went outside the city.
It had only been half a month since the last time he came out to see the first movement in the County Lord's Mansion. These refugees were completely different from the last time they came.
Capital City, Imperial Palace.
The emperor saw the fan developed by the craftsmen in the palace, and put the ice in front according to the method He Yunxi said. This pull, the effect was extraordinary.
Li Yu stood beside the emperor and naturally felt the benefits of this fan.
"The force of this wind is much stronger than that of a fan." Li Yu exclaimed, "And the wind is also a bit cool, which is not very comfortable. The Lord of Chang'an County is really powerful."
He is indeed a person born with knowledge!
The emperor nodded. The weather has been hot recently. Although ice cubes were placed in the imperial study, it was still a bit hot. With this fan, he felt that his whole body had cooled down.
My body feels cooler and I feel better.
"Chang'an is indeed good." The emperor nodded.
To be honest, he has many sons and several daughters, but no matter whether they are older or younger than her, no one is as considerate as her.
She was able to consider his heat from her daily life, so she sent someone a drawing of a fan. She also sent a method of making ice, mentioning that the weather was hot and many people would buy ice.
During this period of time, he has made a lot of money selling ice cream. In one summer, he can make a lot of money!
Although he is an emperor, he is really poor. The national treasury is poor, and the private treasury is also poor. He Yunxi's method is just like giving him money.
Moreover, in He Yunxi's words, this ice is not a necessity. The money earned is the money of the rich, so there is no need to worry about affecting the lives of the people.
This also made him understand that Daliang is not really poor, and the rich are also really rich. And he can make money from the rich to make himself rich.
The more money he has, the more he can do, and the country of Liang will become stronger.
