Chapter 896 The country is picturesque, and there is not much leisure
The climate in autumn is the coolest, and the air has a hint of chill in late autumn, which is the case in the northwest, and this weather is the most suitable for hurrying, although it has entered autumn, but there is no scene of everything withering.
Zhao Zhen walked out of Beijing, and what he saw along the way were basically golden farmland and merchants, even if the trees withered, they were also full of vitality set off by these vivid scenes.
The peasants toiled hard in the fields, which is vivid. Businessmen shuttle back and forth on the road, shouting lazy guys from time to time, this is also vivid, Zhao Zhen will be attracted every time he sees it, and he has a feeling that he can't walk, it is these people who support the prosperous Song Dynasty today.
Zhao Zhen's imperial drive is naturally on a flat road, and the road has not become potholed because of the accumulation of time, even if it is damaged, it is a small piece, and it has been unable to be repaired, thanks to the due diligence of Fan Zhongyan, the road political envoy.
The emperor drove out of Beiping Mansion, the first and most important stop is Datong Mansion, which is the economic center of trade between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty of Western Xia, and the degree of prosperity is no less than that of Beiping Mansion.
The current Great Song Dynasty has long been different from the first imperial dynasty, with the more and more developed economy, the status and rights of merchants have become more and more important, this is an inevitable thing, merchants have created wealth, but also prospered the whole country, led to the development of the Great Song Dynasty, this is what they deserve, there is nothing wrong, and there is no appearance of the original opponents of the Shang Jia people said, the four people are unstable, and the society is upside down.
On the contrary, the merchants provided more money to the treasury, making the income and expenditure of the Great Song Dynasty more balanced, and even surpluses every year. Didn't the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty need to be paid? Could it be that the military equipment of the Great Song Dynasty was conjured out of thin air?
However, the current officials can see this clearly, and they are not so resistant to the merchants, and the heirs of the merchants can participate in the imperial examination and become officials in the court like the children of ordinary people, and the improvement of the status of this businessman will bring great benefits, because finally someone can speak for them.
Zhao Zhen was fascinated by the way to see, he used to say that the country was picturesque, Zhao Zhen didn't have much feeling, now it seems that this description is really tight, Zhao Zhen has not worn a sword for a long time, he will not feel any fatigue when he marches for a day, but now he is a little tired.
As Zhao Zhen's speed slowed down, the entire imperial car slowly stopped, and threw the reins to Peng Qi casually, Zhao Zhen got into the huge carriage and pushed away the inner attendant and turned his head and said: "Cai Boyu, come and unload my armor!" ”
Cai Boyu, who was originally hanging on horseback like a dead dog, suddenly regained his vitality, and after turning over and dismounting deftly, he drove to the official's car, he would rather be the official's coachman than bump on horseback.
I haven't had armor for a long time, and this gold armor is specially tailored to combine the characteristics of plate armor and Song armor, Zhao Zhen was stunned when he saw the armor on his body in the mirror for the first time, and a handsome word couldn't describe this armor.
The helmet on the head alone was made with great effort, and the carvings on it are even more amazing. Smear the golden phoenix wing helmet, the front of the helmet is decorated with the image of the golden Jade Emperor, a fire-spitting golden dragon on the left and right, the dragon body spreads its wings, and the shape is like a phoenix wing. The top of the helmet is decorated with red feathers, feathers, and helmets, and there are necks behind the helmet, and the armor pieces completely protect the neck.
The most important thing is that the weight of this helmet is not very heavy, Zhao Zhen does not feel anything on his head, and the plate armor on his body is a breakthrough in the convention, it seems to be a plate armor, but it is actually a combination of plate armor and chain mail, which greatly reduces the weight and increases flexibility.
The upper body placket, collar, shoulders, bottom edges and other places are all applied with red embroidered gold cloud dragon pattern edges, the inner side of the arm is safer with chain mail, the outer side is with a strong plate armor, and the shoulders are golden beast head-shaped shoulder armor, decorated with red shoulder tassels.
This set of armor combines the advantages of plate armor and chain mail, which greatly reduces the weight and increases the flexibility, and the safety does not decay with the weight reduction, but is more close-fitting and protects all parts of the body.
It's just that the wearing of this set of gold armor is more troublesome, and the sweat on Cai Boyu's head has not untied the secret button behind Zhao Zhen's back, and the waiter on the side is terrified, and Cai Boyu himself has begun to tremble.
"Official, the gold armor on your body is too expensive, Weichen is clumsy, if it is broken, you can't afford to pay for it if you buy the Horse Mansion, or ......"
"The is broken! Swords, guns, swords, and halberds can't break my armor, you can break it with your hands? You break one try! I'll reward you with one right away! ”
Cai Boyu was speechless for a while, and could only say embarrassedly: "Official, Weichen can't solve it!" ”
Zhao Zhen waved his hand, and the attendant on the side stepped forward to help Cai Boyu relieve the siege, Zhao Zhen smiled: "I know that you can't untie it, I can't bear to see you suffer on horseback, so I told you to get in the car and rest for a while, how long will it take to get to Yongning?" ”
Cai Boyu breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the small stool under Zhao Zhen and said, "Qiqi official's house, there will be one hour at most to arrive in Yongning County." ”
Zhao Zhen nodded, under the dexterous hands of the waiter, the golden armor was quickly taken off, and the waiter carefully hung on the pillar in the car, and then slowly withdrew from the car, Zhao Zhen lifted the curtains, looked at the scenery outside, and said: "This country is really picturesque, I have been in the capital for a long time, but I can't see such a beautiful scenery." ”
"Your Majesty, the world of the Great Song Dynasty is yours, the picturesque rivers and mountains are for those literati to see, Your Majesty's chest is splendid, and the picturesque rivers and mountains are not as good!"
Zhao Zhen turned his head and glanced at Cai Boyu and said, "Who did you learn from?" It's really unbearable. ”
Cai Boyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you still hunting?" When did you feel bored in Beijing, let's go out hunting, and we can't go there? ”
Zhao Zhen lay on the brocade couch and thought about it: "It's okay to hunt, but if I go away, the officials in the court should be worried. ”
"Your Majesty should put state affairs first, and the country's society should be the most important!" Cai Boyu's face changed faster than turning a book, of course, Zhao Zhen knew that he did it on purpose, and kicked him with a smile and didn't care about him, but since he became the emperor, he didn't have much freedom.
Even if he takes Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun wandering around Beijing, he will be told by Bao Zheng that he can't be angry yet, this is simply shorter than the time for prisoners to let go into the wind!
"The country is picturesque, but I don't have idle!"
Cai Boyu smiled slightly bitterly, but he was silent, the official's words were really reasonable......
