March 23, the domain of kings.

On the edge of the bridge, catkins are flying.

Located in the east of Chang'an, the Baqiao Bridge connecting all parts of the east of Chang'an, the history can be traced back to the Qin Mugong in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is the oldest stone pier bridge in China. In the third year of the former Sui Kaihuang, a new south bridge was built south of the original Baqiao, and willow trees were widely planted around. Whenever in early spring, the catkins flutter, like flying snow, form the "Baqiao Wind and Snow" landscape, which is one of the famous "Eight Views of Guanzhong".

However, Baqiao has left a great reputation in history, and it still depends on "All Tang Poems".

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, a post station was set up on the Baqiao, and all relatives and friends were sent to the east, and they generally had to be sent to the Baqiao before breaking up, and the willow branches at the head of the bridge were broken off. Over time, "Baqiao folding willow farewell" has become a unique custom. And for the literati, this sad moment is undoubtedly their best source of inspiration.

In "All Tang Poems", there are as many as 114 poems that directly describe or mention Baqiao, including many poetry bigwigs such as Li Bai, Li Shangyin, Liu Yuxi and Li He......

However, for Li Yuanjia, these elegant things are completely meaningless.

Li Yuanjia carefully straightened his younger brother's hat and collar, flicked away the catkins that were romantic in the eyes of others but annoying in his eyes, and then looked at the little guy's immature face, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

it, it's too small!

At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he was sent to Xuzhou, thousands of miles away, to serve as the assassin of a state, which should not be directly sprayed to death in the future?

But in this era, everyone takes it for granted, just like when Li Yuanjia was sent to Luzhou!

How much does such an older child know even if he is a genius?

Especially for Li Yuanjia, a traverser, fourteen or fifteen years old, that is, the age of junior high school students, is in the rebellious period and needs the care and care of his parents. Li Yuanjia himself is just that, after all, he has a mature soul in his head, and Li Lingkui is a real young man, but he has to go to live in a completely unfamiliar place, and he has to bear the burden of assassination on his shoulders......

Thinking of this, Li Yuanjia was really distressed.

This cheap brother is really well-behaved, perhaps because he has been the same as Li Yuanjia since he was a child, he has been repeatedly educated and advised by Yuwen Zhaoyi and Yuwenshi, and he acts very low-key on weekdays, and focuses on reading, calligraphy and music. And for Li Yuanjia, his brother, he can feel that this little guy is truly dependent on and trusting him, and at the same time full of family affection......

So during this time, Li Yuanjia has been planning for his younger brother about his life and others after he goes to Luzhou.

Don't think that it is so pleasant to go to a foreign place to be the emperor of the soil.

This is the Tang Dynasty, not the later Ming and Qing dynasties, the local area has long been developed, and the population is also large, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, which is a prosperous place, and going to be a soil emperor is definitely something that countless people envy. And this year is not the Tianbao period when the population was at its peak, just after the years of war in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, the whole country was only 1,000,000 people, most of them were concentrated in Guanzhong, Heluo and other places......

There are hundreds of thousands in the local area, even if it is Shangzhou, can you believe it?

So think about it with your thighs, what kind of situation will it be like if more than 100,000 people are distributed in the territory of a prefecture-level city, or during the Zhenguan period when productivity is extremely low?

Anyway, Li Yuanjia stayed in Luzhou for three years, and felt that it was an exaggeration to say that it was a big town.

The essence of the Tang Dynasty is Chang'an and Luoyang, and only these two super cities are the paradise of the aristocracy. Otherwise, when Li Shimin planned to divide the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others as hereditary assassins, why did they strongly oppose it, and even said "What is the difference with exile"?

To put it bluntly, who wants to go!

Especially for a young man like Li Lingkui, of course, this is even more so.

It is precisely after experiencing that kind of life that Li Yuanjia feels a little sorry for the little boy in front of him. In any case, Li Lingkui is the closest person in the world to him, and he is also his younger brother with exactly the same blood, how can Li Yuanjia be indifferent to this natural connection?

So after tidying up his brother's already neat clothes, Li Yuanjia groaned slightly, patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "Lingkui, help me look at it after I go to Luzhou, the sewers, toilets and trash cans in Luzhou City were all built by my brother with great difficulty, you kid don't waste it for me wherever you go!" ”

"Don't worry, brother, it definitely won't."

Nodding confidently, Li Lingkui nodded hurriedly.

Although he hasn't seen those things yet, Li Lingkui has heard his brother talk about it these days, so he naturally knows how much he attaches importance to it. Therefore, the little King Yu had already made up his mind in his heart, after he went to Luzhou, he must help his brother see those things that died, and whoever dared to move would be his sworn enemy of King Yu!

"In addition, I left you some land and some money."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yuanjia gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle bought me tens of thousands of acres of land in Luzhou, and I left you 10,000 acres; And I left you 10,000 pieces of cloth and 1,000 pieces of cloth...... There is also a papermaking workshop that has just been built...... Don't take it seriously, you kid! Now the best paper in Datang is not made by their Li family paper mill, you know? ”

After saying this, Li Yuanjia's distressed brows furrowed.

It's just land and money, after all, it's his dearest brother, how can he go out of the cabinet without giving some sponsorship? But the papermaking workshop that had just been built, to be honest, Li Yuanjia hesitated for several days and made up his mind just now.

"Yes, yes!"

After listening to his brother's words, Li Lingkui was so happy that he almost jumped up!

He didn't care much about 10,000 acres of land or anything, after all, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy didn't know what it was like to be sorrowful, and he had no concept of money since he was a child. But Li Lingkui, who likes to read and write since he was a child, has an almost paranoid pursuit of good paper.

After Wang Pu and them made good paper, Li Yuanjia sent a lot to Chang'an as soon as possible. In addition to the emperor, uncle and Fang Xuanling's side, Li Lingkui's side will certainly not be left behind.

If you have used the paper made by my brother's family, it is not interesting to use it from someone else's.

But Li Lingkui never thought that his brother would give him the papermaking workshop! In other words, when he arrives in Luzhou, he can use as much as he wants, and use as much as he wants.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone was on the bridge, Li Lingkui would have been able to hug his brother and kiss him!

Seeing his younger brother's cheering appearance, Li Yuanjia's mood was also a lot more cheerful in an instant, but after thinking about it for a while, he still added: "Lingkui, I gave you the papermaking workshop, but I want to take a few people inside......"
