The moment they got off the ship, Li Tai and the others were filled with a sense of happiness that they had escaped death, but this was actually just the beginning of their nightmare.

Soon, their stomachs rumbled, not hungry, after the fresh water chestnut is cooked, like other vegetables, in this big summer without a refrigerator, overnight, it will change the taste, and a large amount of this water chestnut that has changed the flavor, diarrhea, it is almost inevitable.

They didn't want to make dung on the other side of the field, but they ran to Jiangling to make dung, and Zhang Ke, who set up many pits waiting for them to jump, wondered if they had tossed in vain.

Finally, after taking turns to go to the pit a few times and make their whole bodies smelly, the contents of these boys' stomachs were cleaned.

"I, I'm so thirsty, I want to drink water······"

"My stomach is empty, my head is so dizzy······"

"No, I still want to pull······

"You have to find a doctor, grab medicine and take it, quickly, go to the city, go to the hospital······"

"Food, going to the hospital, all money, I see, who still has something valuable?"

"No ······"

"I think it's better to sell your clothes and change them into sackcloth! In this way, you will have money to eat, and you can go to the hospital to find a doctor to get medicine. ”

"Why didn't you sell yours?"

"What a way I came up with it! Sell your ······, of course."

The word "loose sand" is too apt to describe their state.

"Hey, it seems that grandpa is right, these guys only have themselves in their hearts, and when their lives are threatened, they may be able to calm down and think of some strategies, but once the crisis is resolved, they will become heartless again, in this case, next, it's up to you."

Zhang Ke waved his hand, and a few fresh faces of the intelligence group who usually do not operate openly in the area of the fields walked out, and in the next few days, they will use many means to make them understand how to calmly think of ways in times of crisis, how to unite everyone to fight difficulties, and let them understand what kind of political responsibility they, as princes, bear in the development of fields and the cultivation of rice.

It also allows them to establish correct money values, so that children, who grow up in the deep palace, also have a concept of money.

However, these are just small things, and they belong to the tidbits of the three views of the royal family of Sun Xiangfu Banzheng, and what is happening here in Shanyang is the real big thing.

In the middle of June, Li Shimin took all the way to inspect and visit, and walked slowly to Shanyang, this time the emperor almost the whole family went out, came with great fanfare, and the people here in Shanyang also seemed to be very enthusiastic, spontaneously organized, and welcomed in the middle of the road, the scene was very grand, so that Li Yuan and Empress Changsun, who came to Shanyang for the first time, had a specific understanding of the prosperity here.

"The concubine thought that the sea of flowers outside the city was already the most beautiful in the world, but she didn't expect the scenery in the city to have a different flavor, this street is a grand scene of crowds, but it is more lively than Chang'an!"

"Hehe, you don't know this, the Hu Shang team comes to Datang every year, and they all go to Shanyang first, and from June to August, it is the most lively time for Shanyang, but ah! In the past, the landscape flowers and fruit trees on both sides of the street did not grow, but now they are much more beautiful than the previous two years, and you can see those cherry trees, bright red cherries, just ripe, very attractive, just looking at it, it makes people greedy. ”

Shanyang's cherry tree, this year has entered the fruit harvest period, Li Shimin is still just greedy, Li Yuan in front of the car, but has been gulping a lot of fresh, Shanyang's big cherries, can be much sweeter than the local small cherries he usually likes to eat.

Shanyang Thorn Shi Chu Suiliang, who was allowed to ride a horse next to the royal car, saw Li Shimin and Empress Changsun talking about cherries, so he smiled and said, "The minister originally wanted the people in the city to pick the fruits from these cherry trees and sell them, but when Young Master Sun came to the north a few years ago, he said that the cherries in the city can be picked and eaten for free by tourists. The minister had to say a word to Young Master Sun. ”

"What's Masaaki's purpose?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, do you see this city full of tourists?"

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and then he thought of something, and Empress Changsun didn't figure it out for a while, and asked, "What's wrong with the tourists?" ”

"Queen Mother, these tourists, of course, are attracted by these free cherries! Now there is still more than a month before the sports conference in Dingxiang is held! We are good in Yang, but half a month ago, hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists gathered, and these tourists came here to stay in a hotel, eat, entertain, and shop······

This is a good thing for my Shanyang financial tax generation, this cherry is not bad to preserve, tourists want to eat cherries for a few more days, just be here for a few more days, so that the income of the people in the city in business, can be much more than selling cherries directly. ”

Anything, more, the price is cheap, especially like cherries, in this period is not very good to send to the farther place of fruit, Shanyang Chengcheng thousands of cherry trees, just the small head of the cherries produced by Shanyang, the real big head, is in the cherry orchards on both sides of the Sanggan River, over there, there are at least 100,000 cherry trees hanging fruit.

Now, these cherries are all picked, in good condition, put into ice trucks, and transported to the large cold storage in Dingxiang for preservation, for athletes and tourists from all over the world who will arrive one after another. If the quality is different, it will be used to make canned fruits, sake brewing, etc.

"Hehe, Zhengming's talent in the way of hair generation is really unmatched."

Hearing Chu Suiliang say that the tourists in Shanyang are spending a lot here, Queen Changsun can't wait to go to the commercial plaza in Shanyang, which has been open for more than half a year, to have a look, but soon she has some more ideas, and her eyes can't help but look like the shops on both sides of the street, with a booming business.

"Niangniang, but you thought of the commercial plaza?"

Empress Eldest Sun nodded and said, "Exactly, the shops on the street in Shanyang are so compact and dense, and life is booming, the business of the commercial plaza, I'm afraid it may not be so good!" ”

Chu Suiliang smiled when he heard this, "This lady guessed wrong, the business of Shanyang Commercial Plaza is not good, it is very good, because it does not conflict with the scope of these shops on the street."

Previously, when Sun Shaoshi was still the governor of Anbei, he had a plan for the commercial pattern of Shanyang, where the commercial square is located, there is the only large-scale free playground in Shanyang, and the goods sold are not the specialties of the north sold by the shops on the street, there are delicacies from all over the country, dozens of ethnic styles of ready-to-wear, the favorite gold and silver ornaments of the Hu people, etc., of course, these are not the main ones.

The shops opened by the Hu people are the most attractive places for merchants there, and the original only when the Hu merchants from the Western Regions come to my Datang every year to do business, the special products of the Western Regions that are sold in the market are often in short supply due to the small output of goods.

Now it's different, like camel hair blankets, raisins, black truffles, white truffles, all kinds of special spices, etc., all in the Western Regions Hu merchants, in the shopping mall opened a long-term sales shop, these shops sell things and Shanyang's original industry, each has its own merits, by a lot of our Han tourists. ”

"The shop opened by the Hu merchants of the Western Regions?"

Chu Suiliang nodded and said, "Yes, they got Shanyang's household registration early in the morning, although the race is different, but they are also my Datang people, opening shops, paying business taxes, and my Datang people, generally no different." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin and his wife, who were driving the car, nodded at the same time.

This is the power of Sun Xiangfu's series of means in the Northland, it has turned the Northland into a melting pot, constantly absorbing the surrounding population and wealth, just in the past few years, the Hu merchants in the Western Regions who have joined the Tang Dynasty household registration have exceeded 10,000 households, and these businessmen are usually the wealthier upper-class people in the Western Regions, and the population they brought over, slave labor, etc., is at least 100,000 every year, and the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people over there are calculated as the size of a country, which is equivalent to being invisibly every year. It destroys a country, not only does it not cost a single soldier, but it also constantly creates benefits for the country, which is much more clever than the means of war.

Not long after, the emperor's car arrived at the palace in the north of the city, and when he saw this large building with a different style, Li Yuan, who was sitting in the front car, was immediately happy.

'Crystal Palace'

This was the first word that popped into Li Yuan's mind after seeing this palace.

And Li Shimin, is a long time ago to check the main building of this palace, for the decoration of the palace, he is not much surprised, even Lingnan Feng Ang built a palace with glass windows, Shanyang, the palace of all people, it is not surprising to use more glass, he asked Chu Suiliang to accompany Li Yuan, who ran to the palace like a child, to visit, he took the hand of the eldest grandson, and walked slowly into the palace.

"No wonder Your Majesty has never forgotten the palace of Shanyang, which was originally so gorgeous."

"Hehe, this is nothing, over there in Dingxiang, Chong'er has also prepared a more beautiful palace for us."

"Better?"

"Yes! Dingxiang is the city that has invested the most in the construction of the northland, several times greater than the investment of Shanyang, and now it has been repaired for five years. ”

In an era when it only took nine months to build a palace, hundreds of thousands of people were mobilized and it took five years to build a city.

You must know that the current imperial city, harem, and all the palaces in Chang'an City were built by Yu Wenkai in only nine months during the opening of the Sui Dynasty.

And the eldest grandson Chong repaired Xiangcheng, the number of people used, several times more than Yu Wenkai, construction technology, is much more clever, he spent a full five years to build a city, if only the scale, will be ten times larger than the scale of the palace in Chang'an, in fact, it is not the case, his size, and Shanyang The gap is actually not big, mainly in the degree of refinement, there has been a greater improvement, building buildings, all over the city, can be used for more people to live, and the convenience is higher.

"Since Dingxiang is so good, why doesn't Your Majesty go to Dingxiang directly, but wait until the sports conference starts here in Shanyang?"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin smiled and said, "In Zhengming's words, the most important person, of course, is going to appear last, I have to wait for the lords of various countries and all the participating teams to arrive, and then go to Dingxiang, so that they can welcome me, instead of me going to Dingxiang early to greet the lords of those small countries."

In addition, Chong'er is only afraid that he is busy enough during this time, and I don't want to disrupt his work rhythm, so I just need to transfer the army of the Sixteen Guards to him to arrange. ”

"Do you have a lot to prepare for this sports conference?"

"Of course, just the food of millions of people is not a simple problem, like the melons and fruits abundant in Lingnan, from now on, they are constantly being transported to Dingxiang, lotus seeds, water chestnuts, canned oranges in Jiannan Province, and jujubes in Shandong······

I want all the people of Fanbang to see a Tang Dynasty with a treasure of things and a powerful and invincible Tang Dynasty······"
