"Bang da bang ......"

The wood-colored wooden wheeled car drove from Jiangzhou to the capital, and the wooden wheel rubbed against the stone rail, making a continuous clattering sound.

Su Lu sat by the window, looking out the window, farmland, countryside, rivers, and green trees, all running backwards in a line.

The speed of the wooden wheel is not fast, and looking at the scenery outside the window, I don't feel depressed, but I have a sense of novelty.

Li Qing got up from the bed on the side of the carriage, glanced at Su Lu who was in a daze, and stretched out his hand to help Changning stand up with difficulty.

"What, are you still worried about the war in Jiangzhou?"

Sitting down on the opposite side of Su Lu, Li Qing said gently, his body is getting heavier and heavier, and Li Qing is now a little inconvenient to move.

Outside the window, a farmer was plowing the field, looking at the wooden wheeled cart with his hoe, his dark face full of surprise.

Su Lu smiled and shook his head, "The battle of Jiangzhou is nothing to worry about, with my face-to-face teaching, no matter how bad Zhao Wu is, it is still no problem to fight Gao Yang." ”

"What I think is that this huge Han country, although there are potatoes and sweet potatoes, but the war for many years still causes great losses to the people, the farmer just now, looks like he is over sixty years old, he should be old enough to live for a long time, but he is still working in the farmland."

"There's a limit to what I can do."

Li Qing looked at Changning next to him, and he didn't know how to comfort Su Lu.

She was born into a royal family, and had never suffered from human suffering, and in her opinion, the farmer's work was as it should be, so what was the good heart to worry about. "Lord Wang, in fact, their lives are much better now."

Changning spoke beside him, his tone full of high-spiritedness.

Su Lu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Changning and a few female officials, a little puzzled.

Changning ordered a small female official and said, "Zixuan, you are from a farming family, tell me about the situation of your family, how the current life is compared with the past years, how is your life." ”

Zixuan was thin and small, and gave Su Lu a blessing with her forked hands.

"Lord Wang, the life of the farmer is much better now than before."

"Take the slave family as an example, I remember that when I just remembered, the food at home was always not enough, and throughout the year, except for the New Year, I could only have a meal of white flour dumplings to eat, and I couldn't eat enough at all the rest of the time."

"I have many younger brothers and sisters, and I have been helping my father and mother work in the fields since I was ten years old, and the harvest is not enough to pay the landlord's rent."

"As for the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes, my family's life will be better, not to mention anything else, it is sweet potatoes, after paying the field rent, it is enough for my family to eat for a year."

"Spring and winter wheat, it also saves a lot, all year round, as long as my family wants, you can eat white flour dumplings, white flour steamed buns, although it is not able to eat every day, but it is much better than before I can only eat one meal all year round."

"Before the slave entered the palace, the family had already begun to have surplus food, and in a good year, he was able to pull new clothes for me and my younger brothers and sisters."

A female officer next to him also spoke

"My family too, although my family is a landlord, but in the first years, my family was not rich, and after paying the government's taxes every year, I could barely have some surplus grain, and after the prince and His Majesty took power, life was good."

Zixuan suddenly knelt down and saluted Su Lu

"Zixuan, thank you Wangye, potatoes and sweet potatoes are implemented in the world, there are countless living people, there was a great drought in Shazhou that year, if it weren't for these two, my grandfather would have starved to death, thank you, Wangye."

Su Lu became interested when he heard this: "Zixuan, you are from Shazhou?" What is the situation in Shazhou now, but do you still need relief from the imperial court? ”

Zixuan got up, "Back to the prince, Shazhou is close to the desert, the land is already barren, and there are droughts every year, but the local government has started to implement a drought-tolerant corn, whether it is a mountain or a river ditch, it can be planted, and it has also alleviated a lot." ”

Su Lu nodded, the magistrates are not all ignorant, there are still some capable officials, who can find corn.

Su Lu turned to Li Qing and said

"Corn is drought-tolerant, not demanding to the terrain, and can also be promoted domestically, which Shazhou officials should be awarded."

Li Qing said with a smile

"The reward has already been rewarded, and the Department of Agriculture has also carried out the promotion of corn, focusing on several places near the desert, including several county governments in Xuanfu."

"After Northern Tule is under our jurisdiction, our life is much better."

Su Lu nodded, and was about to speak, when there was the sound of a wooden wheel car braking in front of him, and the terrain on both sides of the car was no longer farmland, but the land of the capital.

It's already in the capital.

The car stopped steadily, Li Qing stood up and stretched slightly.

"It's really fast, yesterday's incident, we were still having breakfast in Shangshan, but I didn't expect to return to the capital now."

Zixuan and several female officials got busy, opened the car door, and packed up all the things around them.

Lu Zhan had also laid a mat in front of the carriage, and the guards were busy.

Su Lu said with a smile

"After the speed of the flying birds is faster, we want to go there, it only takes half a day to get there, breakfast in the capital in the morning, lunch in Jiangzhou at noon, and dinner can continue to eat in the capital."

Li Qing got out of the car by Su Lu's arm, and his graceful and luxurious cheeks were full of smiles.

"Then I don't dare to think that it would be very good to have such a day."

Outside the carriage, Lu Zhan reported to Su Luyu in a low voice

"Lord Wang, Zhou Pingshangshu and Dong Cheng are waiting outside."

Su Lu raised his eyebrows, "How do they know that I will come back with Your Majesty today?" ”

Li Qing next to him said with a smile, "Although our whereabouts are kept secret, but as the bigwigs of the military department, they know the whereabouts of the troops everywhere best. ”

Su Lu shook his head helplessly

"Yes, but the two of them should also experience the speed of this wooden wheel, and all the ministers should also experience it."

The group left the post station, and Zhou Ping and Dong Cheng immediately greeted them.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how the battle is going in Jiangzhou, have you arrived in Jiangzhou?"

Li Qing shook his head, "You two, this grain and grass is transported to Jiangzhou day by day, do you still not believe that this wooden wheel can reach Jiangzhou in one day and one night?" ”

Su Lu waved his hand, stopped the two, and asked

"I've been away with Your Majesty these days, and if there's anything worth talking about in the capital, let's talk about it."

"The General Staff Office has transferred two guards into the city."

Dong Cheng spoke, his face a little gloomy.

Su Lu frowned, "The General Staff Office does not have the right to transfer troops, when can they transfer troops into the city, do they want to rebel?" ”

Zhou Ping glanced at Dong Cheng and said in a deep voice

"I don't know that these two guards have never been ministers and Lord Dong Cheng, so I don't know why the Staff Office mobilized them."

"Absurd"

Su Lu almost couldn't help but give Zhou Ping a kick, the dignified military department is still in the book, I don't know why the guards are mobilized, and they even came to complain.

"Why, the guards under your military department can't transfer you Zhou Ping, do you want me to wipe your ass."

Li Qing patted Su Lu's arm and asked the two in a deep voice

"What do these two guards belong to?"

"The guards entered the city without an order, and they plotted rebellion."
