Chapter 12: The Return to Beijing

What Li Chongguang didn't expect was that the cultivator was quite arrogant when he screamed, but he ran so fast that even Li Chongguang thought that he was going to fight him to the end! Li Chongguang didn't catch up, put away the knife and returned to the box. Lou Xinyue had already leveled all the enemies, but Yan Er was somewhat frightened.

After this ambush, Li Chongguang and his wife became more cautious. And Yan'er is not as lively as before, most of the time is silent, the two of them see it in their eyes and feel pain in their hearts. It's just that the ups and downs in life are unavoidable, and they must be experienced, faced, and solved. Growing up is not about understanding the truths one by one on the way, but about living all the truths into life at a certain moment. No matter how much Li Chongguang handed over to Yan'er, she still had to return to her own experience in the end.

Li Chongguang personally went to find dinner, and the family of three fell asleep after eating. Li Chongguang has been keeping vigil, and in the middle of the night, Lou Xinyue woke up and said that he wanted to change Li Chongguang's shift, but Li Chongguang did not agree and let Lou Xinyue continue to sleep. He is now a foundation stage cultivator, and he has nothing to sleep all night. He also took advantage of this time to meditate until dawn.

When Shangjingnan Station arrived, Li Chongguang took Yan'er's hand and walked out. Since the family of three is here, they are not in a hurry to find the first assistant of the cabinet, and they will go to the capital to play here first. It has been seven years since I last came to Beijing, and now so many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"This is really a big change in the capital!" Li Chongguang couldn't help but sigh. He almost forgot what Shangjing was like in his memory of the previous dynasty, but he couldn't find the feeling of the past at all in Shangjing. Even compared to seven years ago, Shangjing has changed dramatically, let alone a few decades ago.

Shangjing is more prosperous, people are richer, life is better, and life is more prosperous. In the past, this was what every Ming Jun wanted, and now, this is what every Shoufu wants. In the previous dynasty, Li Chongguang's father was an idle prince, and now, Li Chongguang is also an idle prince, and the change of dynasty has not fundamentally touched his interests, and he has not rejected it too much. He also very much agrees with the laws of the new country, and thinks that it is much better to govern the country according to the law than to govern the country by people.

"yes! It's changed a lot compared to when I was a kid. Lou Xinyue was also shocked by the bustling Shangjing in front of her. This was unimaginable before.

There used to be few women on the street, but now it has become a beautiful sight. In the past, women wore loose clothes to wrap their bodies tightly, but now women's clothes tend to be sleeveless, shortening the length of the clothes and reducing the height of the collar, making them lighter and more comfortable. The hem is shortened and the waist is tightened, and it is graceful to walk.

New houses are lined up, the streets are clean and clean, and shops are scattered all over the streets. Merchants developed rapidly in this matter, and now the commercial tax has become an important source of national taxation. At the same time, the agricultural tax was greatly reduced, and even the cabinet had the idea of abolishing the agricultural tax.

The Great You Dynasty is less than a hundred years apart, but the changes are jaw-dropping. Li Chongguang has also been thinking about the reasons for all aspects, whether it is in terms of policy, system, utensils or ideology. Sometimes he doesn't know why he wants to do so much as an idle prince, but he just likes to think. Maybe he also has the idea of serving the country in his heart! But who knows!

Li Chongguang came back to his senses and shook his head, pulled Yan'er to the street stall and bought her a candy man, but Yan'er was very happy. Although there are also sugar people in Xiangyang City, the taste is still a little different from that in Shangjing. I can't say who is good and who is not, it's just that the taste and texture are different. The two places are so far apart, and there are great differences in cultural customs and other aspects, and this little sugar man is one of the carriers of culture. So don't look at this sugar man as inconspicuous, but it plays an important role in cultural dissemination.

Li Chongguang doesn't know what's going on lately, and he can associate a lot of things when he sees them, which makes him very confused, and he doesn't know what's wrong with him.

"Why are you always distracted?" Lou Xinyue couldn't stand it anymore and complained. The family of three finally came out to have a look, but Li Chongguang behaved like this, not only Lou Xinyue was not satisfied with this, but even Yan'er was a little angry.

"Something comes to mind. Well, let's not talk about that. Let's go to Qingyi Garden! In the past, it was not easy to get in, but now it is good, ordinary people can buy tickets to enter and play. Li Chongguang diverted the topic, and was worried that their mother and daughter would make trouble together, so he took the first step.

"This Li Chongguang is really cunning!" Lou Xinyue pulled Yan Er to follow.

Qingyi Garden is a royal garden built at the beginning of the last century, located in the western suburbs of Beijing, 15 kilometers away from the city, covering an area of about 290 hectares. It is a large-scale landscape garden based on Kunming Lake and Wanshou Mountain, based on West Lake, and absorbed the design techniques of Jiangnan garden. It is now one of the most famous spots in the capital, and many people come here every day.

When Li Chongguang saw Qingyi Garden, he felt that the royal family would really enjoy it, although he was a prince, he had never been here once. He hadn't been here even since it opened to the public many years ago.

Probably the royal family, while supporting a huge empire, is also the biggest cancer of a country! Anyway, his current thoughts are quite strong. He couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of the emerging class, which created a new type of state system and changed the disadvantages of the feudal system to a great extent.

He feels that the future of the country is very bright now, but now it seems that the road is a little tortuous. In addition to facing the problems left over from the previous dynasty, they also have to face all kinds of social contradictions, and now there are cultivators eyeing each other, maybe when it will come to the Shenzhou Continent.

Before arriving at Qingyi Garden, Li Chongguang saw a little boy kneeling on the ground, and a middle-aged man lying in front of him. The middle-aged man looked like he had been dead for hours. Due to the laws of the new government, human beings cannot be bought or sold by any means or for any reason, so the little boy had to ask well-wishers to help him bury his father, but no one wanted to. Many people feel that there is no profit to be made, so they are reluctant to intervene. Even as a servant, it is not possible because the law prohibits the use of child labor. No one gets into trouble for a little bit of cheapness, especially breaking the law.

Li Chongguang feels that the rapid development of the new country has also produced many social problems, which may be problems that the new government has not yet paid attention to. This kind of thing happened in Shangjing City, let alone in other parts of the Great You Dynasty. Li Chongguang feels that the current Dayou Dynasty is really going to develop to the point of "Datong World", and there is still a long way to go. It's just that there are still some people's livelihoods, burials and other issues that have not yet been resolved. He felt that many of the current livelihood systems of the Dayou Dynasty were not perfect enough, and perhaps he should talk to the cabinet ministers when he entered the method of tuning.

Li Chongguang felt that he himself did not come out to play, but to observe the people's feelings. He didn't know when he had been paying attention to these things, and since he didn't know, he didn't want to!

"What's your name, kid?"

"Dong Zhuoru. Dong Zhuoru cried so much that his voice was hoarse, and his tears dried up, and he replied a little sluggishly. Li Chongguang saw that his eyes were a little moved, and he decided to help Dong Zhuoru. A boy who doesn't look like he's as big as Yan'er. Maybe there are many people in this world who are as miserable as Dong Zhuoru or even more miserable, but he is already very satisfied if he can help one. He is not capable of helping the miserable people, but he can help the new government to develop the Great Shadow Dynasty better and make people live a better life. After all, he is now a member of the new government, although the Tianyun Palace was established by the Great You Dynasty and other countries.

For so long, Li Chongguang has not asked about the Tianyun Palace, since the last time he said the location he chose, the new government has never come to deliver any news to him, probably busy building the Tianyun Palace!

After all, it is impossible to fix it in such a short time. On the surface, Tianyun Palace belongs to the forces of the rivers and lakes, but in fact it belongs to the common jurisdiction of all countries, and it can be said that it has the biggest backer in the entire Shenzhou Continent. However, the opponents of the Tianyun Palace were those cultivators who were about to be born, not the ordinary Jianghu sects, so it seemed that this most powerful backer had nothing to be proud of.

"I'll help you bury your father, how about you live in my house first?" Li Chongguang said softly to Dong Zhuoru.

"Really? Dong Zhuoru was skeptical.

"Of course it's true, how could my uncle deceive you?"

"Thank you, uncle, you are such a nice person. My father said that the grace of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, uncle, I will definitely repay you. ”

"Good. Zhuo Ru is a good boy. Li Chongguang touched Dong Zhuoru's head. He was not only moved by Dong Zhuoru's compassion, but also his heart of care and cultivation. He wants to cultivate this child from an early age, and the person he Li Chongguang likes will not be wrong.

Lou Xinyue pulled Yan'er over and stood behind Li Chongguang, without saying anything, just watching Li Chongguang call a few people to help Dong Zhuoru carry his father's body away and bury it. Originally, I said that I would go to Qingyi Garden, but now it seems that I can't go. After burying Dong Zhuoru's father, Li Chongguang's family took Dong Zhuoru to settle down in a nearby restaurant. He began to think about what he had seen and heard in Shangjing. Although Shangjing is very prosperous, there are also many little-known tragic lives hidden behind the prosperity.

He felt he had to do his part to contribute to the new country. After being supported by the state for so many years, he has the responsibility and obligation to reciprocate.
