Chapter 134: What I Saw and Heard on the Road
The topic of Changle has been talked about Chang'an, which is so joyful
I can't imagine that the princess of a country will be obsessed with making cakes, and she will try it herself, won't she find a few palace maids to try it?
Li Chengqian explained this, don't look at the graceful and graceful palace maids around Changle, it was their predecessors who couldn't walk after being eaten
Hahahaha, let me laugh for a moment
Since Li Chengqian left Chang'an, he has been sitting at the carriage window looking into the distance. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading.
I haven't been out of Chang'an for a long time, and the last time I came out, it was still full of greenery, but now it is dry and yellow
The pedestrians on the side of the road looked hurried and leaned over. The cold wind in Chang'an in winter, cold and biting, really made Li Chengqian, who stayed in the palace all day, a lot more sober.
"Ding Yi, why do you say that these people are dressed so thinly, and they are not cold?"
This kid is not stupid
"Your Highness, we live a life of fine clothes and food, while more people in Datang are working hard for a mouthful of food. It is not easy to have a warm clothing in this winter, and many people have no clothes to wear, and only those who come out to work can wear a thin cloth coat."
Li Chengqian was shocked, the clothes were all worn by the family only working people, which shocked Li Chengqian, who lived in the palace compound
"How can they and I be so poor in the Tang Dynasty" Even if the people of Chang'an are the lowest level of slavery, at least they won't even have decent clothes, the current Datang is strong, how can it be so
"Your Highness, the strong and wealthy are only the upper and middle classes of Datang, but most of these people are concentrated in prosperous places such as Chang'an and Luoyang, and Datang is more ordinary people like them" Ding Yi pointed to the pedestrians outside the window and said with a dull face.
Li Chengqian was silent for a long time, which made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was once proud, feel deeply guilty. In the past, when I went out of the palace to play, most of them were arranged by the palace people. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading. He had never seen these before, and he always thought that although the people of Datang had displaced people, they would not be so poor, but today, the scene in front of him refreshed his three views.
was silent all the way, and finally walked into the Shiping Realm.
Now that the weather is getting colder, the difficulty of construction has increased a lot, but the foundation has already been laid, but it will have an impact when it is with cement, which is not much difficult, just get a little less every time.
Li Chengqian looked at the craftsmen who were going back and forth, and the people here were wearing several layers of clothes one by one, and because they were constantly working, there was even a white mist floating on their heads.
Now that it is approaching dusk, there are shouts from the construction site, and the work is gone
I saw the workers tidy up their work, patting the dirt on their bodies and walking to a shed.
The workers consciously lined up in a long line, muddy hands holding dishes and chopsticks. After a while, a steaming bowl of noodle broth was served, and a few big white steamed buns were still held in his hands, and he walked to the side with a face full of enjoyment, and three or five people chatted and ate around him
And the people who come and go on the road around here are all straightened up, their faces are hurried, and they don't know what to do with the paper in their hands.
"Ding Yi, here" Li Chengqian asked suspiciously, didn't he say that the people were poor Why are the people here smiling, the clothes they are wearing are steaming, and the food they eat looks so fragrant
"Oh, there's a city being built here, and these are the workers on the construction site. It's also all people around Shiping, and they come out to work when there is nothing to do in the fields."
"The palace is asking why they are different from those people"
"Well, they have at least 30 wen a day, and they are in charge of two meals," Ding Yi explained nonchalantly.
Although Li Chengqian occasionally went shopping in Chang'an, he only lingered in those shops, but he never knew about the lives of the people.
The people here are completely different from the ones I've seen before
"Don't they have to farm?"
Ding looked at Li Chengqian like an idiot and said, "How can you farm in winter?"
Li Chengqian was embarrassed, how could this kind of common sense question come out of his mouth
"In addition to spring plowing and autumn harvest, the rest of the people is to serve in labor and military service. These are all free of charge, so how can the people get income in their leisure time, not to mention those tenants, if the main family collects a few percent more rent, how they live this year is a problem" suddenly sighed, in this era of peasant households are indeed good
"Isn't it right to serve hard labor, and it's only natural for tenants to pay rent," Li Chengqian said to Ding Yi with an innocent face and very seriously.
"Hehe, Your Highness is happy, let's get off"
Ding Yi's attitude made Li Chengqian unhappy for a while, and this mocking tone seemed to be mocking the ignorance of the palace. Trying to grab him and explain it, he got out of the carriage.
Xiao Qing was already waiting outside the door, and hurriedly walked over when she saw Ding coming.
"Young Master"
"Well, Your Highness, come down quickly" Ding Yi responded, and urged this Li Chengqian.
Xiao Qing was taken aback, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince followed the young master to Shiping
led Li Chengqian into the mansion, the chrysanthemums in the courtyard had long been dilapidated, and the places where flowers and plants were originally planted were full of devastation at this time
Woohoo
Three dog barks came, and I saw Erha, Dick, and Rhubarb pounce on them
Ding Yi smiled and beckoned, and Erha looked at Ding Yi's expression and hurriedly stopped.
"Dick, rhubarb, give me a bite of Erha"
⊿
Dick Rhubarb froze in place, not understanding why his master was doing this. But Erha hurriedly turned around and ran
"Ding Yi, where did you get your dogs' beautiful coats" Li Chengqian tentatively reached out to touch the rhubarb, but Dick bared his teeth
"Dick"
Hearing Ding Yi's voice, Dick hurriedly retracted, rubbed Ding Yi's thigh, and told his thoughts
Rhubarb was very well-behaved, looking at the man who came in with the master, he lowered his head obediently, and accepted Li Chengqian's touch with enjoyment.
"Brother"
Before the person arrives, the sound comes first
Tang Xue saw that she ran out of the backyard with cheerful steps, and pounced on Ding Yi at once.
Ding Yi stroked her little head dotingly, and whispered: "Come, explain to me why my garden has become like this"
Hearing this, Tang Xue saw that he slipped off Ding Yi's body.
"Yu Niang is still waiting to teach me the female red, I'll go first" Tang Xue, who was weak-hearted, saw that she casually made an excuse and hurriedly ran away
"Haha, I didn't expect Ling Mei to be so interesting" Li Chengqian had seen Tang Xue before, and at that time, she was not as free as she is now.
"Let His Highness see and smile"
"It's okay, it's okay, Hongu likes her a lot"
Well, Ding Yi looked at Li Chengqian in shock, you
"Ding Yi, come back and go quickly, go see the king's hot air balloon"
"Blue Sparrow"
"Big Brother"
