Although there were only 100 horses, the two horses were parallel and still pulled out two or three hundred meters.

The people on both sides of the road avoided both sides, and looked at Zhao Dezhao who was surrounded with fear or adoration.

There are lively shops on both sides of the street, and Kaifeng Mansion has not had a war for more than ten years, becoming a peaceful place in this troubled world.

The people cannot be said to live and work in peace and contentment, but at least there is no sense of precariousness.

Pei Ge'an grinned while deliberately twisting his body to look at the scene of Kaifeng Mansion.

It wasn't until Zhao Dezhao pinched the root of her leg that she took a breath of cold air and became honest. "You're so ruthless, you must be pinched."

"If I'm ruthless, I'll ask for your back door when I turn back."

Pei Ge'an couldn't help but laugh again, and deliberately rubbed it. "Who didn't say that you wouldn't want it, the front is still tender, but the back is okay. What's more, for the first time in your life, you must give it to me. ”

This demon girl, Zhao Dezhao was a little excited and a little helpless.

She was too young to have a menstrual affair, so naturally she couldn't break her body.

However, after she was strengthened by Zhao Dezhao in her previous life, she was not very interested in normal married life, and some side stage people liked to go through the back door.

It's just that Zhao Dezhao is really unbearable to let Zhao Dezhao attack her!

"It's good to use both words and hands, I'm really afraid of hurting you, and I still want to live with you for the rest of my life."

She didn't care. "If you do a good job of protection, you should be fine."

Zhao Dezhao became more and more tense, and the little demon girl deliberately rubbed her little buttocks, which made people want to beat her buttocks and swell.

Zhao Dezhao could only distract himself, turned his head and shouted: "Xipu, do you know that Taoguang is available today?" ”

Wang Chengyan looked at Zhou Zhen holding a little girl in his arms, he was snickering, at this time Le Ma took two quick steps and said with a smile: "The official family ordered Uncle Cao Bin to go to Longzhou (Jiangyou) on a business trip, Taoguang originally wanted to go, but he didn't get His Majesty's permission, and now he is sulking, and he said that he will beat you up if he frolicks again." ”

Seeing someone approaching, Pei Ge'an calmed down, his eyes still curiously observing the streets around him.

Zhao Dezhao said with a smile: "Shibei should be impressed for three days, I haven't played with you for more than a month, I was specially trained by my father, and I should be invincible all over the world." ”

Wang Chengyan paused for a moment and teased: "I think you are blowing cowhide to the sky......

Zhao Dezhao didn't argue, and said with a smile: "Then he is here today?" ”

"Well, it should be here......"

Famous generals in troubled times, although there were slightly fewer famous generals in the early Song Dynasty than in the Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang dynasties, it was also an era of famous generals.

Among the many famous generals, Cao Bin can also occupy a place, especially since he can not only fight by himself, but four of his seven sons are all famous generals.

Later generations only know the Yang general, but in fact, most of the stories of the Yang family general are fictional, and Pan Mei is also a famous general, not a traitor.

It's just that Yang Ye took refuge in the late Song Dynasty, and because of Wang Xu's pit and heroic death, later generations will be favored by operas and novels.

After all, the story is twisty and twisty, and people like to watch it.

However, the father and son of the Cao family, especially Cao Can, are currently more valued by Zhao Dezhao.

My brother in the society has been calm and resolute since he was a child, honest and quiet, and good at riding and shooting.

He went to war at the age of 12 and was a famous young general.

After Zhao Kuangyin knew his name, he awarded him as the deputy envoy of the palace forbidden army, a position that actually tied him to his side.

But when he grew up, he has been an official on the border, first fighting the Liao people in Gaoyangguan (Tianjin), and then transferred to the northwest to fight the party members.

At that time, the Song Dynasty won fewer victories and lost more, but only Cao Can never lost a war.

The only time he lost was the Battle of Tanyuan, and he was not primarily responsible.

Zhao Dezhao, who is familiar with history, knows that Cao Can is low-key and steady, loyal, this person is not greedy for merit, not exaggerated, and is definitely the most credible young generation in the early Song Dynasty.

Because the Shenji Battalion does not need radical generals, it only needs generals who are good at leading troops and abiding by discipline.

Today's thing, when I go to Xiangyang next year, everyone else doesn't care, only Cao Can is what he must bring.

From the Cao Gate of Kaifeng Fuli City, out of the city wall, there is a wide post road outside.

Horses were not allowed inside the city, and when they reached the outside of the city, the march of the procession quickened.

Nestled in Zhao Dezhao's arms, Pei Ge'an asked, "You specifically asked that Cao Can, but he is of great use?" ”

Zhao Dezhao nodded. "This person is not only both civil and military, but most importantly loyal, and we will form a musket battalion in the future, and he is the most suitable commander."

"How old is he?"

"A year older than me, but he's been on the battlefield since he was twelve."

Pei Ge'an pondered for a while and said: "No matter how much you attach importance to him, you can't directly appoint him as a commander, experience is more important." ”

Zhao Dezhao smiled and hugged her and said, "Don't worry, until I ascend the throne, I will always be the commander of this army, and I will not let anyone else be in charge." This is a new army, and I will not let the corruption of this era appear in this army, so not a single veteran is wanted. ”

She nodded. "In the future, you will be outside the Lord and inside my Lord, and it is best to unify the whole country within ten years. Then I can build a big ship, and I can go back to Europe and go around and knock the Holy See, the Moors, the Europeans, all down. ”

Zhao Dezhao was a little speechless, but she raised her little hand excitedly and shouted: "I am a woman who wants to become the mother of Europe." ”

Zhao Dezhao couldn't help but smile and said, "Shinji." ”

The horse team came to the bank of the Jinshui River, which is one of the four rivers of Caoyun, connecting the Bianhe River and the Huimin River, although there is no estuary, but the role can not be ignored.

Because the water of the palace, half of the water and drainage of Kaifeng Mansion need to pass through this river.

Kaifeng Mansion is not suitable for being the national capital, and this is also because of this.

The terrain is so flat that it floods every year during the rainy season, and then the Yellow River floods every two years.

Without these rivers, Kaifeng Mansion could not accommodate too many people at all, and with these rivers, it flooded every year.

The country does not say that there are mountains and rivers that can automatically drain water, which is convenient for defense, and at least to provide people with a peaceful life.

On this point, Kaifeng Mansion can't do it.

After crossing the Jinshui River, and then going north, it is the embankment area between Kaifeng Mansion and the Yellow River.

Due to the blockage of the river, the river has become S-shaped here, and the embankment here has to be repaired every year to fight flooding.

As a result, the riverbed rises higher and higher, and every time the levee breaks, it causes huge damage.

There is still a chance to correct all this, according to Zhao Kuangyin, he will consider transferring the national capital after the establishment of an industrial zone in Xiangyang.

As for Jiangning, which is the most suitable for the national capital in Zhao Dezhao's mind, it will not be considered until decades later.

In fact, Luoyang is also more suitable for being the national capital, but since the Tang Dynasty, in order to build Luoyang, the trees in the entire Luoyang Basin have been cut down.

If the capital of the country is to continue to be built in Luoyang, it will continue to cut down trees from Shanxi upstream, which will do no harm to the protection of the Yellow River.

From the Jinshui River to the Yellow River, only there are some people and post stations on both sides of the official road, and the land is not allowed to be developed.

But the people have no land and it is difficult for them to survive, so there are still some people who take the risk to live here.

Large tracts of land are deserted and reed-filled, and after the autumn harvest, it becomes a paradise for wildlife.

Gao Huaide has the feat of not returning home for four or five days of hunting in a row, and every year Zhao Kuangyin will also organize hunting after the snow.

Now there is still more than a month before the snow, but the magnates have begun to form groups in three or five groups to come to hunt and play.

And Yuanjiafang is such a small town formed because the powerful settled down, it was difficult to survive in Kaifeng Mansion, and the displaced people reclaimed the land.

This is the north gateway of Kaifeng Mansion, it is worth mentioning that further north, across the Yellow River, is the original Zhao Kuangyin yellow robe plus Chen Qiaoyi.

Looking at the records in the history books, I don't know where Wang Jixun is robbing the people's daughters.

But from Kaifeng Mansion to Fengqiu, the garrison of the Xiongwu Army, there are only Yuanjiafang and Chenqiaoyi in the middle.

In Kaifeng Mansion, Wang Jixun did not dare to rob the troops, Chenqiaoyi was the place of Longxing, and Fengqiu was a place where he was stationed for a long time.

Therefore, Zhao Dezhao judged that if Wang Jixun robbed the army, it was very likely to be in Yuanjiafang.

Of course, in order to prevent accidents, along the south bank of the Yellow River, Zhao Dezhao asked Han Chongyun to arrange his eyeliner.

The sound of horses' hooves shook, and when Zhao Dezhao's horse team entered Yuanjiafang, they found that it could no longer be regarded as a small town, but a small city.

The population here is at least a few thousand, and on the north bank of the Jinshui River, there are large tracts of houses stretching for miles.

Seeing the horse team coming, many people knew that this was the prince's arrival, and even knelt on the ground and bowed.

To be honest, a court like the early Song Dynasty really deserves it.

Now the imperial court is like a warlord, there is no care for the people, only exploitation.

Every season of grain is levied, every year of service, whether it is farming or small business, you have to pay taxes.

As for the imperial court, it can't even give the least security.

Shi Baoxing and Han Chongxun each rode a horse to greet them, and Yuan didn't let them know each other naturally, so he let them approach.

Han Chongxun exclaimed excitedly: "Second brother, it's only now that we're here, we have beaten more than a dozen wolves in the morning, as well as seven foxes, and even more rabbits." ”

Zhao Dezhao also liked this little guy who worshiped himself wholeheartedly, and laughed: "Didn't you hunt a black bear?" ”

He was a little embarrassed, and looked at Pei Ge'an in Zhao Dezhao's arms in surprise, originally thinking that Pei Ge'an would be embarrassed, but Pei Ge'an ignored him at all and rolled his eyes.

But he was embarrassed and said, "I didn't go far in the morning, and some bears were scared away." ”

At this time, there were not only bears in Kaifeng Prefecture, but also elephants, and in 962, wild elephants hurt people in many places in Hubei and Henan.

It's a pity that people at this time didn't have any animal protection thoughts, and when they encountered such a thing, they were killed directly.

The only exception was in 963, when a wild elephant was found on the shores of Lake Biwa in Kaifeng Province, which was captured and transported to the Imperial Palace.

It's a pity that he only lived in the Imperial Garden for a year before he died.

With Han Chongxun here, Zhao Dezhao quickly knew Shi Baoxing's arrangement after they came, as well as the personnel arrangement.

The camp was stationed in the northern suburbs of Yuanjiafang, near the reeds, and Zhao Dezhao could directly enjoy the morning's prey if he came over now.
