Because His Majesty Li Er and his wife are here, everyone eats a lot and is a lot quieter. Wei Yan's thief eyebrows and mouse eyes glanced at it, honestly and unceremoniously kept putting vegetables in the bowl, and occasionally gave Xie Jiu and his son a chopstick, in short, he looked at where it was delicious, Li Zhi was dumbfounded, looking at Wei Yan's gaze, with pity in worship, looking at the pot, and at his own bowl, intending to show Wei Yan with his eyes that he was also a child and needed to be taken care of.

Wei Yan grinned at him for a while, and deliberately ate slowly, which made Li Zhi look depressed for a while, and after looking at his father and queen mother, he still didn't have the courage to go to the pot like Wei Yan, as a royal child, he had the obligation to maintain the image and dignity of the royal family.

Li Zhi's appearance made His Majesty Li Er, who was concentrating on eating, but in fact, his wife and wife, who were watching the six roads and listening to the eight directions, silently paying attention to everyone, shook their heads together---- Li Zhi is really inferior to people in many places.

After eating the hot pot, I called someone to clean up and take it down, and seeing that it was not yet dark, I proposed to go out and take a walk after a meal. Strenuous exercise is not suitable after meals, but leisure activities such as walking are appropriate. This walk, not far, is to walk around the station. Originally, the government requisitioned a rich family's garden as a place for His Majesty Li Er to rest, but considering that he would only stay for one night and leave, His Majesty Li Er rejected his request to enter the city, and chose to stay at the post station for one night. There were many people in the entourage, in addition to His Majesty Li Er's family, Wei Yan was still stained with the light of his children, and the head of the family, Empress Sun, sympathized with their family and specially allocated a room for them to live in.

"Daddy, hug!"

When he was walking, Lin Lin saw that the princess of Xincheng asked the nurse to hold the robe that followed the walk, and raised her hands to be coquettish, asking her father to hug her. Wei Yan squatted down and said to Lin Lin with a serious face: "Son, you have to walk by yourself after eating." Can't hug, we'll do it. ”

Lin Lin's small hand pointed towards the new city. said confidently: "The princess and sister have someone to hug." Linlin too! ”

Wei Yan rolled his eyes. Said: "Son, Miss Princess is a girl, and you are a boy." Didn't Dad teach you? Boys should be strong and brave. Protect the girls. Look at it, your sister Qiqi and the little princess sister will want you to protect them in the future, you can't even walk, how can you protect them? Do you want to be a girl? ”

Lin Lin tilted his little head and thought about it, and decided to be led by his father, and he was happy to laugh. Their family is twins. is still a man and a woman, both of them have the point of view of erecting a child's gender consciousness from an early age, but don't be confused at the age of six or seven, boys are not like boys, girls are not like girls, then it's over!

Taking advantage of the stroll, Wei Yan ran behind. led a group of imps to play the game. Amused the little princess of Xincheng and didn't want to be held anymore, so she twisted her body to come down. The nurse looked at the queen in embarrassment, and the eldest grandson queen smiled and nodded, put her down, giggled and ran to play with the unicorn.

I walked around happily and came back, but my shoes were dirty, especially the Kirin and Xincheng, even the small clothes were muddy, and I cleaned them up and coaxed them to sleep, and the ordinary and extraordinary day of the journey was over.

The bed in the post station is always not as comfortable as at home, and it is said that in order to welcome His Majesty Li Er and his party, they have been specially tidied up, which can be regarded as the most luxurious equipment. I'm really embarrassed to be picky, so I can only sleep on it, but I haven't slept well all night, and I can't help but sleep for a while.

I got up early the next morning, and I was about to go on the road before dawn, and the servants put away the things neatly, and Wei Xie and the couple took the child and got into the carriage. Turning out the child's small quilt and covering it, the two looked at each other, couldn't help but smile, laughing at each other's dark circles, Wei Yan yawned, stretched out, turned out the blanket, pulled Xie Jiu to lie down, stretched his arm into his arms and said: "It's boring on the road, let's go to sleep, the dark circles are scary, and there is no cosmetics to cover you now." ”

Xie Jiu smiled, arched his head into his arms, closed his eyes, and fell asleep with Wei Yan in his arms. Breathing softly, hitting his neck, it was a little itchy, but it was strangely very comfortable and reassuring, and he fell asleep with it. I don't know how long I slept, Wei Yan was woken up by the coachman, saying that His Majesty Li Er had summoned him over.

The convoy was too long, and the walking was already slow, Wei Yan let the mother and son continue to sleep, he personally jumped out of the carriage, washed up with the face wash that he brought over, and went to His Majesty Li Er in good spirits. After he passed, His Majesty Li Er asked him to get into the car directly, and Wei Yan was honored to climb into the eight-horse-pulled, golden-yellow luxury carriage for the first time.

The spacious carriage, the huge wheels, and the eight sturdy and sturdy horses made the guard smack his tongue for a while. That said, it wasn't the first time he had seen the carriage, but the shock was similar every time he saw it. Compared with other people, the carriage of the Wei Mansion can only be called simple, it can only be said to be narrow, and there is even a small desk in it for His Majesty Li Er to approve the book.

After all, in ancient times, carriages and horses were the main means of transportation, and the emperor's car could not be compared with ordinary people. When I got into the carriage, there was even a small staircase to put it down, so I didn't have to jump up and down like the one in Weifu.

Wei Yan went up, and after saluting, His Majesty Li Er asked him to sit aside, set up the table, and in Wei Yan's puzzled gaze, he laid out the table and said with a smile: "The journey is lonely, there is something fun, Wei Ziyue, don't hurry up and contribute!" ”

Wei Yan looked at the people sitting around the table, His Majesty Li Er sat on the throne, then the eldest grandson queen, then Li Zhi, and the little princess came to him and sat beside him, indicating that he wanted to be with his family. **Can play in all directions, it seems that there is only mahjong.

Wei Yan suddenly realized, and quickly called someone to get mahjong, and the group began to play mahjong. Wei Yan was not afraid of death, and asked with a smile before opening the cards: "Your Majesty, is there a lottery?" This mahjong game, it's better to have a little bit of color to be more interesting, right? Otherwise, there is no motivation! ”

Li Zhi looked at Wei Yan with a look of admiration, and it is estimated that if he dares to ask for a lottery head when playing mahjong with His Majesty Li Er, Wei Yan is the only one. His Majesty Li Er glanced at Wei Yan playfully, laughed, and pointed at Wei Yan and said: "Wei Ziyue is really Wei Ziyue, never let me down, okay, there is a colorful head." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a few silver nudes. Casually thrown on the table, Empress Eldest Sun smiled and looked at the two of them. He also turned and ordered them to bring some up. There has been no movement yet. In the strange eyes of everyone, he touched his pockets, blushed and red, and said, "What." Your Majesty, Niangniang, please wait a moment, the minister forgot to change his clothes today, forgot to put the money bag, I will come immediately. Princess Jinyang will help me build cards first. ”

As he spoke, he jumped out of the carriage and ran back to get the money, and the rest of the Li royal family looked at each other, and immediately laughed, this Wei Ziyue, I really don't know whether to say that he is confused or that he is bold.

Wei Yan ran back and got the money bag. Seriously. Ignoring everyone's ridiculed gaze, he sat down calmly behind his son. The two began to play mahjong together. Maybe it's really the God of Gambling leaning over today, and I don't know if it's Wei Yan or the son of good luck, in short, the two of them won all the way, and they both won big names, and the silver naked man at his feet has been piled up a small pile, Li Zhi lost a sad face, looking at Wei Yan and the son's eyes, that's called a complaint. His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun still look as steady as Mount Tai, and it is impossible to see the quality of their cards from the faces of the two.

The days of the journey are so lonely and boring, except for playing mahjong and fighting landlords every day, there is really no other work. After sitting in the carriage for a few days like this, Wei Yan couldn't stand it anymore, and he was twisting and turning while playing mahjong, in other words, the so-called sitting, in fact, was kneeling, it was really difficult for him to hold on for so many days.

Wei Yan endured the stinging pain in his feet and proposed, "Your Majesty, why don't you go out and ride a horse?" After sitting in the car for so many days, going out for horseback riding activities is also good for the body. ”

"It's okay, after sitting in this carriage for so many days, the bones are almost rusty, and it's good to go out and gallop for a while, and blow the wind."

Wei Yandi's proposal was obviously very popular with His Majesty Li Er. Empress Changsun took out a cloak and said warmly: "Your Majesty, it's windy outside, add a cloak." ”

Empress Eldest Sun was busy taking care of His Majesty Li Er there, and her son-in-law Lala Wei Yan said pitifully: "I'm going too, I'm also with Lord Wei!" ”

Wei Yan scratched his head and said, "Princess, I am not good at riding, but my Ferrari is very docile, so we can ride slowly." ”

Seeing that Wei Yan agreed, the son laughed very happily, his big eyes were crooked, and he looked cute, so that the people who watched couldn't help but feel high. Little Lori insists on doing five poultry dramas every day, her father is an outstanding figure in both civil and military affairs, under the influence of her father, her children also show themselves to both civil and military affairs, even if they are daughters, they are all vigorous, and women do not let their eyebrows be shaved. The son was limited by physical fitness before, and has not received systematic learning, in the past two years, his body has gradually improved, and he has tried to learn some simple martial arts and do some simple riding and archery training, if you want to compare archery, Wei Yan is ashamed to think, maybe his accurate head is not as good as other people's little Lori, it is really shameless.

The group came out, but the eldest grandson queen did not come, His Majesty Li Er, Li Zhi, and Gao Yang each rode a horse, and Wei Yan and his son rode together, galloping along the official road. Wei Yan wrapped the little son in a cloak, revealing only a small head, and a hat on the little head to prevent her from being blown by the wind.

After galloping for a while, not too far away from the team, he slowly slowed down and walked slowly along the side of the road. Not far from the roadside, you can faintly see some small village houses, there are few tiled houses, most of them are thatched houses, and the scene is not as good as Chang'an.

"Master Wei, what kind of house is that?"

My son has never seen a thatched house, she grew up in Chang'an since she was a child, and all she saw were luxurious high walls and tiles, even if she saw it when she was a child when she went out on patrol with her father, she was afraid that she couldn't remember it. Wei Yan said: "That's a house where people live, but the material for building the house is different from what we usually live in, it's thatched. ”

"Why is it different? Why not use tiles? ”

The son-in-law Lori was very curious and asked. Wei Yan smiled faintly and said, "Because I can't afford to buy tiles, I don't have enough money to buy tiles, so I can only build a house with thatch." ”

"Why is there no money? My father said that as long as they grow food, they can have money to eat and clothe, are they lazy? Can't grow food? ”

Wei Yan thought for a while and said: "No, if you are not diligent, I am afraid that you will not even be able to build a thatched house, let alone a tiled house, but it's just that this person's strength is sometimes not enough for hard work, and there are many, many factors." Let's put it this way, the grain grown in a season is enough for one's own food, and the amount left is one's own income. Some people have poor farming skills, so they will receive less grain, and in addition to the large number of people in their families, they are afraid that their own food rations will not be enough. Some families have better farming skills and are more able to keep a house, so they will have more surpluses, and their lives will naturally get better. ”

After listening to it for a while, the son shook his head very honestly and said, "I don't understand! ”

Wei Yan scratched his head and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't quite understand it myself. If we understand this problem, perhaps, we can solve many problems, and agriculture is the foundation of the country, and if we have it, we will be able to build a superstructure. ”

Wei Yan was almost talking to himself, and he was talking with his son. Under the technical conditions of ancient times, the amount of output basically depends on God, and in the case of unstable output, the peasants are a fragile and strong strange group.

"Master, is this also the land of the Tang Dynasty? Are they also the people of the Tang Dynasty? Why is it different from Chang'an Gao Yang saw that Wei Yan and his son were chatting, and he also slowed down, waited until Wei Yan approached, and asked his own questions. Wei Yan smiled and said: "This is normal, Chang'an is the heart of the Tang Empire, the center of politics, economy, and culture, and agriculture and commerce are the most prosperous in the entire Tang Dynasty." And here, is a small ravine, I am afraid that I have to walk on the mountain road for several days to catch a market, the traffic is inconvenient, the exchange is hindered, there is no exchange, the economy can not be developed, only agriculture, it can only be so. ”

After Wei Yan finished speaking, seeing that Gao Yang still had a puzzled expression, Wei Yan thought for a while and said: "Let's put it this way, agriculture is the foundation, and commerce is the channel of flow, for example, to build a house, you have to lay a foundation, you have to build a wall, you have to build beams, and you have to go up the tiles." Just like a country, the farmer is the foundation, the farmer is the foundation, the scholar is the beam, the worker is the wall, the official uniform under the leadership of His Majesty is the craftsman who builds the house, and the merchant is the channel for the craftsman to transport the materials he needs. ”

"Is the merchant so important?"

"It's not important, it's indispensable. Exhibition requires capital, commodities can't be sold, can't accumulate original capital, how to exhibit? If you can't show it, you can only lag behind...... Uh, Your Majesty, when did you come? Belch...... The minister just casually talked to the children. ”

Wei Yan said that he was devoted, and his eyes didn't look ahead, but stared at the mountain village in the distance, once, his hometown was also such a small mountain village, similar places, so that he was a little distracted, and he also missed a little, and he didn't even pay attention to who he was talking to, so he answered casually.
