Li An picked up a rag doll and admired it seriously, this rag doll is soft, the inside is made of cotton, and the outside is draped in a dress made of Shu brocade, with a lot of hair and headdresses, and the facial expressions are all made of artificial embroidery, which looks vivid. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is a Datang girl rag doll, you can see from the headdress and clothes, in the era of Datang, there is actually a toy like a rag doll, which Li Ang did not expect, it seems that the girl likes the rag doll, it has started from a long time ago.

In addition to rag dolls, Ang Lee also bought silver locks made of sterling silver, small drums inlaid with gold and jade, exquisite and soft cloth, and other items, eager to buy everything he could buy.

These gadgets were packed in two large boxes, but in order to quickly reach the queen city of the East Woman Kingdom, Ang Lee wrapped these items in a cloth bag and divided them into five packs for the guards under his command to carry separately.

Early the next morning, Li An left Yizhou City with Kunxiong, Feiyu, and twenty personal guards, and quickly rushed to the Queen City of Dongnu Kingdom.

In order to save time as much as possible, Li An and his entourage all prepared two horses and changed horses along the way to save horsepower and facilitate the purpose of rapid arrival.

Yizhou City is not very far from the Queen City of the Eastern Women's Kingdom, and Li An and his party traveled day and night, and it only took a few days to arrive at the foot of the Queen City.

Li An once came to the East Woman Country, and also helped the East Women Country to smash the internal conspiracy and the external trouble of Tibet, so the people of the East Woman Country still have a very good impression of Li An, at least there is no hostility.

Since he did not go on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, Ang Lee did not identify himself, but quietly entered the Queen City, just like an ordinary businessman.

After entering the queen city, he immediately ran in the direction of the palace, preparing to settle his subordinates first, and then go to meet Zhao Yufu.

After his subordinates settled down, Li An took a few guards and carried the purchased gifts to the direction of the palace.

"The troublesome work is returned to King Chang, and Li An asks to see him."

Ang Lee's attitude was extremely polite.

The palace people glanced at Li An, quickly recognized it, and immediately went to Tongyu.

It didn't take long for the palace people to hurry back and let Li An in.

Li An asked several guards to hand over the gifts to the palace people, and then entered the royal palace of the Dongnu Kingdom alone.

Because the watchtower where Zhao Yufu lived was nine stories high, Li An, under the leadership of the palace people, climbed for a long time to reach the top of the building, and saw Zhao Yufu who was recuperating.

Obviously, because of the birth of a child, Zhao Yufu's complexion is not very good, giving people a slightly sick feeling, but this also adds a kind of pitiful beauty, the weak and boneless woman has a unique sense of beauty, which the world deeply understands.

Seeing Li An come in, Zhao Yufu's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he gently waved his hand to let the palace people go down.

Several palace people gently put down the gifts purchased by Li An and turned to leave in turn.

"Troll, you've worked hard, are you still uncomfortable?"

Li An greeted Zhao Yufu with a very concerned taste, and walked over lightly and sat down next to Zhao Yufu.

"I really didn't expect you to come back to see me, to see you, I'm much better."

Zhao Yufu's breath was a little insufficient, but he still tried his best not to look too weak.

"Hey, this is your little baby, it's so cute!"

Ang Lee gently lifted the half-covered quilt and saw a cute little Lori, who looked very sweet and kawaii, which made people want to hug and kiss her.

"It's the baby of the two of us, you take a good look."

Zhao Yufu picked up the baby in his arms and stuffed it into Li An's hands.

Li An gently picked up the little baby who almost didn't feel the weight, and the whole person melted in an instant, this cute little doll is his own baby, this is the only baby in Li An's two lives!

"The baby is so cute, look at how much this little mouth looks like a mother! Ha ha! ”

Ang Lee teased the baby.

The little baby didn't seem to recognize life at all, and smirked at Ang Lee, laughing very happily, and this once again made Ang Lee's heart melt once.

Every baby is cute, but only his own baby is the cutest, and Ang Lee feels that the baby in his arms is the cute baby in the world.

"When she grows up, she will inherit my title, and she will be the next Dongnu state guest."

Zhao Yufu said softly.

"Good! My baby is going to be the king of a country in the future, hahaha! The baby is happy or not. ”

Li An teased lightly, and the baby laughed violently again.

"Husband, did you name the baby?"

Li An asked with concern.

Zhao Yufu smiled slightly: "I want to call her Tang'er, what do you think?" ”

"Tang'er, Tang'er, the child of the Tang Dynasty, this name is good, it has a deep meaning, okay, let's call it Tang'er! However, this seems to be a nickname, and it should be a more domineering name. ”

Li An frowned and pondered for a moment, and said softly: "Forget it, it's not famous, it's better to listen to Tang'er, Tang'er, Tang'er, my Tang'er." ”

No matter how your children look at them, they have been like this since ancient times, and Li Ang is naturally no exception, holding Tang Er in his arms, Li Ang doesn't want to return to the capital.

Of course, this is just a momentary thought, for the sake of the overall situation, he still has to leave here and return to Chang'an City, he is a pillar of the Tang Dynasty, how can he be trapped in a small place like Dongnuguo.

"Husband, I bought a lot of small gifts for Tang'er, I'll show them to you."

Li Ang unfolded several large bags of small gifts and placed them next to the bed where Zhao Yufu was lying.

"This is a rag doll, this is a silver lock, this is a ......"

Li An introduced them one by one, and a satisfied smile appeared on Zhao Yufu's face.

"Okay, you can stay for a few days."

Zhao Yufu knew that Li An would definitely leave, and asked about the departure date in order to let himself know in his heart.

"Husband, I can stay for a maximum of ten days, and these ten days are all spent with you and the baby."

Li Ang said truthfully.

Zhao Yufu smiled and nodded: "Ten days is enough, my body is almost well, tomorrow, we will go outside the city to play." ”

"Okay, with my guard, you will be fine, and the baby will be fine."

Li An smiled confidently and continued to hold the baby to play, in a good mood.

Since his subordinates had already arranged it, Li An had no worries, so he was so relieved and bold to stay in Zhao Yufu's palace, take care of Zhao Yufu, and play with the baby.

In the evening, Li Ang dined in the palace and stayed in Zhao Yufu's room, this time, Zhao Yufu did not let Li An climb the watchtower, so boldly stayed in the room.

Dongnu is civilized, no one will say anything, and Zhao Yufu is the king of a country, let alone anyone will say anything.

When resting, Li An slept next to Zhao Yufu, but there was a baby in the middle, because he was too excited to look at the baby, Li An couldn't sleep for a while, and pinched the baby's face from time to time.

Of course, Ang Lee's pinch was very slight, the strength was similar to that of stroking, the baby did not respond at all, and slept very sweetly, and Ang Lee pinched and pinched and fell asleep unconsciously.

After breakfast on the second day, Ang Lee and Zhao Yufu took their babies and went to play outside the city under the protection of more than a dozen Dongnuguo guards.

In order not to cause too much movement, Zhao Yufu traveled as an ordinary person, so as not to make the target too big and be stared at everywhere, thus losing the fun of playing.

Approaching the cold winter, the climate is relatively cold, however, the East Woman Country is located in the south, and the environment is far less harsh than the north, so it is still very comfortable to play in such an environment, at least much more comfortable than in the hot summer period.

This time, Li An can stay for ten days, and of course the play will last for ten days, as for the internal government affairs of Dongnuguo, naturally the foreign minister is responsible for handling it, and Zhao Yufu's usual workload is not large.

Near the capital of the East Woman Country, there are five rivers converging, and there are still a lot of places with beautiful environments, the last time I came to the East Woman Country, Li Ang has already visited many places, this time, in addition to reliving the memory of the last time, I have to go to several places that I have never been to.

In a good place with a beautiful environment, holding Zhao Yufu and Tang'er in his arms, this feeling is really wonderful, Li An has been tired in the land of Xijiao for a few months, very hard, and he can finally enjoy himself here, and looking at his little baby, this feeling is very unusual.

Ten days of leisurely life passed too quickly, and Li An was about to leave before he had experienced enough, which made Li An's heart very sad, of course, Zhao Yufu also felt the same way.

The little baby Tang'er has become familiar with Ang Lee these days, and has already taken the initiative to reach out and let Ang Lee hug him, which makes Ang Lee more reluctant to leave.

"Tomorrow morning, you're going to leave here, the baby will miss you, and I will miss you."

Zhao Yufu stroked Tang Er's little face and looked at Li An.

Li An sighed, kissed Tang Er's little cheek, and said softly: "When I get here, I really don't want to leave!" But I'm still leaving, it's not up to me to decide, but I'll come and see you when I have the chance. ”

"It's good if you can come, Tang Er and I will stay here and wait for you all the time."

Zhao Yufu stroked Tang Er's forehead and said gently.

Li An's heart was really sad, he didn't want to leave, but he couldn't help but leave, the holy decree of the Tang Emperor, he had to obey, there were no conditions to talk about.

Fortunately, in the few days he was here, Zhao Yufu's body improved rapidly, and his complexion became the same as before, which made Li An feel a lot more relieved, and he could leave with peace of mind.

"Tang'er is asleep, put her down!"

Zhao Yufu said and took the baby Tang'er in Li An's arms and put it on the soft bed.

"Tomorrow morning, you're leaving, let me hug you."

Zhao Yufu hugged Li An tightly and did not let Li An separate.

Li An also hugged Zhao Yufu tightly and gently pressed him on the bed.

Good days are always short-lived, and the night passes quickly.

The sun rose on time the next morning, and Ang Lee had to leave.

At the last moment of leaving, Li An hugged Zhao Yufu, and played with Tang'er's baby for a while, and finally left the Dongnu King's Palace, the Queen City, and the entire Dongnu Kingdom with reluctance.

A few days later, Li An and his entourage returned to Yizhou City, and after resting for a day, they led 600 Longwu soldiers to leave Yizhou City and go to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

The road to Shu is difficult to go to the blue sky, it is very difficult to go from the capital to Yizhou, and the road back to the capital from Yizhou is also difficult.

The Qinling Mountains, which straddle Guanzhong and Shuzhong, block these two regions, so that the area around Shuzhong has become an almost independent commercial area, which is obviously not conducive to the integration of the Tang economy.

Difficulties in roads and transportation were the most important obstacles to the economic integration of the Tang Dynasty, and if we wanted to change all this, it was necessary to improve the poor traffic situation from Shuzhong to the capital, so that merchants could travel more smoothly.

Of course, this truth is not only understood by Ang Lee, but also by many people with lofty ideals who want Datang to prosper, the key is that this road is too difficult to repair, and the manpower and material resources consumed will be very huge, so that it may drag down Datang's finances, so that Datang's central finances cannot make ends meet.

And once there is a big problem with the finances, a strong empire is not far from collapse, which is very alarming.

There have been so many powerful regimes in history that have spent a lot of national finances on a large scale of construction, which has led to the tragedy of the collapse of the country.

The king of Shang built Lutai and built the Star Tower, which caused the people's resentment to boil and the national strength was greatly damaged, and was finally replaced by the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The Great Sui Imperial Court disregarded the conditions of national strength and dug the Grand Canal on a large scale, exhausting the national and popular strength, and eventually leading to the fall of the Sui Dynasty.

Of course, there are many, many such examples, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, there are too many cases of large-scale construction, leading to the demise of the country, even if the starting point is to improve people's livelihood, but as long as the national strength and people's strength are exhausted, it will cause serious consequences.

Everything must be done according to our ability, and we must also do what we can to improve people's livelihood, we must not be greedy for perfection, we must not ignore the actual situation, and we must weigh the pros and cons before making the right choice.

For example, during the Warring States Period, the Korean Zheng Guo was ordered to enter the Qin State and instigated Qin Shi Huang to build irrigation canals, in order to use the construction of large-scale projects to drag down the Qin State and make the Qin State's finances unable to make ends meet, so as not to threaten the security of Korea.

However, the strength of the Great Qin Empire, after more than 100 years of accumulation of Shang Ying's reforms, is already very strong, and the construction of the Zhengguo Canal does not cost the Qin State too much national strength, but allows the Qin State to have 40,000 hectares of fertile land for this, and the strength has become stronger.

This is the problem of national strength and financial resources, the construction that can be borne is a reasonable construction, in case the financial can not bear it, it cannot be blindly started, the Sui Dynasty Grand Canal is a good proof.

The Tang Empire's ability to build roads, bridges, and water conservancy nationwide depends on how much money the government can invest. (To be continued.) )
