Li Luo returned to the newly bought courtyard in the old city of Dadu, and saw the lights in the house in the vast night rain, as well as the shadow under the light in front of the window, and couldn't help but feel a warm joy.

Seem... Where she is, home is there.

Li Luo didn't enter the house immediately, he held an oil-paper umbrella, stood in the courtyard and watched Cui Xiuning's silhouette, while listening to the rain.

Han Shao and Zong Tian didn't know why Li Luo didn't enter the house, but they didn't ask, they just stood silently behind them.

Li Luo entered the main room, and Cui Xiuning also greeted him. The woman took the man's umbrella and handed over a set of clothes and boots, "Let's change it." ”

The man handed over the food box in his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Kublai Khan has a treat, the dishes are too luxurious, I am afraid that my dear lady will not be able to eat it, so I will pack it back and feed you." ”

The woman gave the man a blank look, "The umbrella you brought back is a woman's." You've come into contact with Jin Guangruo, right? This is the umbrella she gave you? ”

Li Luo gave a thumbs up, "The police are the police!" I like ......"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"What are these dishes?" Li Luo ate in the palace, and didn't forget to pack and bring it back for her to eat, which made Cui Xiuning very happy, she smiled between her eyebrows, and it was bright and bright under the light.

Li Luo said a little proudly: "Swan roast, tiger meat, bear paws, elephant pulls, Daigo milk, deer lips, wild camel hooves, and the world's earliest ice cream, but unfortunately there are not many of them." ”

Ice cream was invented by the Mongols.

What the? Cui Xiuning is really greedy.

Ice cream is the only thing to do. She had only heard of the other four things and had never eaten them.

The little police flower hurriedly lowered her head, dealt with the dishes in the food box, and stopped talking to Li Luo. Li Luo saw her white neck as white as snow, and a few soft wisps of green silk between her temples, and couldn't help but stretch out her salty pig hand to touch and play.

It's so cute, like a... Small milk kittens.

Cui Xiuning shook his head dissatisfied, protested with "hmm" in his mouth, and continued to eat vegetables.

The little policeman was satisfied with the use of it, and began to "pick up the bowl and eat the meat, put down the chopsticks and scold the mother." ”

She shook her head and said, "These are precious and endangered protected animals for future generations. The hunting of these animals is a particularly serious circumstance at the time of sentencing. This alone, Uncle Kublai Khan is enough to sentence him to more than ten years. ”

Li Luo smiled: "Okay." Then you go and arrest him. ”

"Forget it." Cui Xiuning waved her hand arrogantly, "Cannibalism has a short mouth, Miss Ben let him go this time." ”

"You're depraved, police!" Li Luo looked distressed.

The two joked a few words and got to the point.

Cui Xiuning said: "Wen Tianxiang's wife Ouyang, and his two daughters, Liu Niang and Huanniang, are now slaves in the palace. ”

Li Luo frowned, "In which palace department?" ”

"Siyuan Bureau, Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, Huanyi Bureau. The three of them were separated. Cui Xiuning said sympathetically, "The female officials around the queen said that they are often bullied. ”

Li Luo didn't want to continue this heavy topic, anyway, he couldn't help it, and asked, "Where are you planting eyeliner now?" ”

He has been in Dadu for more than half a month, and Cui Xiuning's main job is not only to train the spies of the sub-bureau, but also to personally command the layout of the intelligence network.

Cui Xiuning said: "Kublai Khan and the empress already have eyeliner around them. There are also the Zhongshu Province, the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, the Internal Inspection Yuan, and the Police Patrol Yuan. Elsewhere, it's not too late. However, I have already made arrangements, and Li Yong and they can handle it. ”

Li Luo couldn't help but hug Cui Xiuning and pecked her in the face.

"Madame, these are all key departments. Once this intelligence network matures, the intelligence of the Yuan Court will be in control! ”

Cui Xiuning broke away from Li Luo's bear hug, "You are rude again...... When are we leaving? ”

Li Luo forcibly hugged her again, "As soon as the sky is clear, we will go to Ninghai Prefecture, we can't delay any longer." ”

Cui Xiuning nodded: "It's time to leave quickly." When I went to Ninghai Prefecture, I also had to train the Einsatzgruppen (secret service force), penicillin, and modern black powder, and there were many things. ”

Li Luo groaned and said, "Is it too risky for us to engage in gunpowder in the official residence?" Ninghai Prefecture is the territory of the Mongols. ”

"Am I that stupid?" Cui Xiuning said, "It's just a little sample in the official residence and go through the whole process." Large-scale manufacturing, of course, must be done in Haidong. ”

Li Luo pinched her white hand and drew circles in the palm of her hand, "I said policeman, why are you more urgent than me in your revolutionary rebellion?" It's not your character. ”

Cui Xiuning snorted: "There's no way, I'm a person, I have a strong sense of justice, and I can't see ordinary people being bullied and humiliated by the Mengyuan violent criminal group, so I want to make Uncle Kublai Khan's rebellion, he is the general leader of the criminal group." ”

Both of them are determined to oppose the yuan, but their starting points are different. Li Luo is a nationalist and careerist who wants to drive out the Tartars and realize his ambitions. Cui Xiuning is a national hero, and she wants to rebel against the brutality and inhumanity of the Mengyuan aristocracy.

Li Luo pretended to sigh: "I'm not as good as Qing." ”

Cui Xiuning smiled: "Li Zhongzheng, what about the Mongolian name you used to fool?" Picked up no. ”

Li Luo nodded: "If it's done, it's called Hara Buhua." ”

Cui Xiuning furrowed her good-looking eyebrows, "It's so ugly, what does this name mean?" ”

Li Luo was a little proud, "Hara means black, don't spend ...... It means cow. ”

Isn't that a black bull?

Cui Xiuning was suddenly drunk. This fugitive, what a ...... It's a bad taste.

Damn, it's not good to call it, it's not called a black cow.

"Are you here to be funny?" Cui Xiuning's jewel-like eyes were full of disdain.

Li Luo shook his head and said seriously: "Mongolians like to take names like this, and "no flower" is a very common name. It's better than wild boar skin. ”

Suddenly, Cui Xiuning thought of a question, "You didn't also give me a Mongolian name, right?" ”

Li Luo was even more proud, "Your name is Ning Ning Temur, is it very similar to Min Min Temur?" Well, I'm good to you, right? ”

Cui Xiuning sneered: "I, called, Cui, Xiu, Ning!" ”

…………

Early in the morning of October 12, after several days of rain, it finally cleared. Li Luo and Cui Xiuning left Dadu with more than ten people and walked along the post official road in the direction of Qilu.

Li Luo and the others had cars and horses, and the official roads were straight and spacious, so even if they didn't hurry, they walked more than 150 miles in one day.

"I really can't imagine that there is such an easy way to walk." Cui Xiuning looked at the wide and straight ancient road in the carriage and couldn't believe it.

The road is wide and divided into lanes and horse tracks. The driveway is paved with masonry, but the road is dirt because masonry can hurt horses' hooves.

Very well thought out.

Meng Yuan's rule was indeed barbaric and brutal, but it was precisely because of this that he was able to do a lot of great things in a very short period of time, and objectively left a lot of legacy.

For example, "Zhanchi" (Mongolian: post post).

The transportation construction achievements of Mengyuan can be said to be the best in ancient China and foreign countries, and they are incomparable. In order to maintain control of the territory of thousands of miles, the Yuan Dynasty spent decades from Temujin to Kublai Khan and conscripted millions of laborers, which was the only post system in the world.

The Yuan Dynasty post stations were densely packed, and the roads extended in all directions, which not only formed a high-density transportation network in the whole country, but also ran through the Eurasian continent, covering Han China, Goryeo, Central Asia, West Asia, and Eastern Europe.

Not only is the scale huge, but the management system is also very strict. The Mengyuan system is rough, but only the post management has a high degree of refinement, which is unmatched by previous dynasties. The huge horse reserves of the Yuan Dynasty also provided the prerequisites for this.

Because of the huge distribution area, in addition to horses, cows, and mules, there are even a large number of "post dogs" in the cold and snowy areas, using the transportation mode of dog sledding.

You can imagine a Mongolian warrior on a snowy field, riding a dog sled to attack the enemy. For example, in Harbin, there are more than a dozen "dog stations" and thousands of dogs.

In the southern water network area, there is also a water post system, with hundreds of water posts and nearly 10,000 boats.

The Mongols attached great importance to mobility and relied heavily on transportation roads, which was also an important motivation for the large-scale construction of post posts. They hope that wherever there is an incident, they should get the news as soon as possible and put their troops into action as soon as possible.

Li Luo once heard a man say that the Yuan Dynasty (Mongol Empire) basically laid the foundation of transportation in modern China, Korea, Central and Western Asia.

However, this is what countless people's bones have been exchanged. The Han people who died because of the construction of road post stations alone is an immeasurable huge number.

Li Luo was riding on a horse at this time, looking at the avenue on the plain that stretched to the end of the sky, and he was also very emotional. Once savagery is combined with technology, it's really terrifying.

Leaving Dadu early in the morning, he has now entered the boundary of Gu'an Prefecture. The state city is thirty miles to the northwest.

At this time, it was already dusk, and the group stopped hurrying, and simply stayed at the nearest post station.

As the sun sets, the autumn breeze is bleak, and it is already quite chilly. As far as the eye can see, there are pastures all around, and there are faint herds of horses, cattle and sheep. This is one of the Yuan Ting Horse Farms, which has not been used as farmland for decades.

Looking at the bloody remnant sun and the vast autumn grass, it is obviously in the Central Plains, but there is a feeling of being out of the plug.
