Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who had been discussed, sent people to deliver the news, while continuing to ride horses, and when they walked on the road, they seemed to know everyone, and even saw the original Tubo and Turkic people.

The Tibetans did not show any hostility, and like other people, the original Turks did not rush up to find the two of them desperately, and Zhang Xiaobao did not even see any intention of revenge in the eyes of the original Turks.

"The weak always like to cling to the strong, even if there is a personal injury, the yearning for a better life and the slow erosion of the years, will actively or passively accept the reality, under the management of the same political system, no matter what kind of pain has been had, ordinary people will adapt well to the new environment, and those who have lost their past power can not adjust their mood, so that they can be depressed for life."

Zhang Xiaobao said to Wang Juan beside him after discovering that the annexed ethnic group had no idea of seeking revenge for himself and Wang Juan.

"Are you telling me about the animal world?" Wang Juan asked with a smile.

Zhang Xiaobao also smiled: "No, the animal world requires the efforts of a large number of people, and those who run in the wild all year round to record the bits and pieces of various animals and plants are heroes." What I want to say is that the people of Japan and Silla in the future will not hate us. ”

"This is probably where the Japanese regret and grievances, as you said, if there is no hatred, the premise is that under the management of the same political system, Japan did not accomplish this goal when it invaded, so there are so many right-wingers, instigation, and even the right wing of the whole people.

Because they hate us, just as we hate them, don't look at me like that, I hate it. But I can't put this hatred on the innocent Japanese now, we need to manage their places as soon as possible, help them, and let them live with the same labor. But it's a good life that is only a fraction of our income. ”

When Wang Juan spoke, he waved at the Japanese woman who was standing on the side of the street teaching her children to speak Tang dialect, and the woman also smiled and said hello.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head slightly and sighed: "The most poisonous woman's heart, the words come out of your mouth." I found that even the days of heavy snow in the winter on the steppes became warmer. ”

"Thank you." Wang Juan pursed his lips and smiled.

The two talked and laughed, walked forward for a while, and finally came to the west of Chang'an City.

It is said to be a city, but there is no specific city wall. That thing gets in the way. But the capital is still a city anyway, so there is a clear dividing line between the outside of the city and the inside of the city.

The dividing line is not a line drawn out, but a road. A wide road, the east side of the road belongs to the capital area, and the west side of the road is still the capital area. But people who live on the west side of the road always think that they are not from the capital. They haven't changed their household registration yet.

The reason for not changing their household registration Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan can still be analyzed even if they did not ask in person.

It has nothing to do with the welfare of the capital, and now the welfare of Datang is the same except for officials. When looking at the people on the west side of the road who are very familiar with the capital and unfamiliar with it and want to adapt as soon as possible, you can know why they didn't enter the capital.

"It's not easy for magistrates sometimes." Zhang Xiaobao sighed, got off the horse, and asked the 'old man' who had just finished sweeping the garbage on the road: "Uncle." Been here for a year? ”

"Yo, Xiaobao? It's really a little treasure, I'm busy working, I didn't see you two. The old man, who was less than fifty years old, had traces of time written on his face, and when he heard the movement, he raised his head and looked at the person who spoke, and then he recognized who it was, and he seemed very happy, and more excited.

Zhang Xiaobao grabbed a handful of dates from the bag he was carrying crossbody, gave half of them to the old man, rubbed them with his hands casually, stuffed them in his mouth and chewed, and said: "This shows that Uncle you are working hard, eating dates, and when you came on the way, you were forced to stuff by a person who sold dates." ”

"Okay, for some people, the dates they grow are sweet, and for some people, the dates that don't cost money taste like honey, and when you eat them, you taste more than just dates."

The old man didn't back down, took it and rubbed it twice with Zhang Xiaobao, threw it in his mouth and said.

If the old man's words were to be heard by the children in the school, the children would not understand, but Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan understood, the two looked at the old man differently, and the old man was not ordinary when he could say this.

Wang Juan came over and said: "It's sweet, sweeter than honey, not everyone can get what others force stuffed, I am content with Xiaobao, and we must work hard to do what we can in the future, and we don't dare to slack off, otherwise we won't be able to eat sweet free dates, and the things we lose are more precious than dates, uncle, how do you want to do this job?" ”

The old man's eyes narrowed, he looked at Zhang Xiaobao, and then at Wang Juan, repeated it a few times, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a pair, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye." Sweeping the road, sweeping the road gives a lot of money, looking at the more cars and people on the road, the more prosperous, the more comfortable I feel.

My family has been here for nine months, the government at the other end of the house is busy, and has not sent someone to send the certificate of origin, if there are few people, the capital will send a telegram to confirm it, there are many people, I am afraid that there are people in the hometown who are fake, chaos, and have to wait for the local yamen to prove together.

Let's go to winter, why should I send it in winter? When our group of people is gone, there will be another group of people who will continue to live on the west side of the road, waiting for the government to bring the certificates. ”

The old man's words are simple, and there is no lack of deep meaning in the simplicity.

After saying this, the old man's dates were also eaten, clapped his hands, picked up the broom again, and said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan: "I'm going to work, you two are going to be busy, I heard that someone said that a railway station is going to be built, and the people on the west side of the road have to change places." ”

Watching the old man leave with a wave of a broom step by step, Zhang Xiaobao clicked his lips, put the uneaten dates back into his bag, and said, "Actually, people are so enlightened now?" ”

"Uncle is a person with a story, don't worry, when his hometown enters the capital, he will naturally slowly show his ability. There are more and more people in the capital. ”

Wang Juan was thinking about another question, everyone was crowding into the capital, whether they would expand the city after a while.

Zhang Xiaobao said: "It seems that the station has to be repaired far to the west, otherwise it will be caught in the city." The concentration of the people in the central city shows that our productivity has not kept up, and our guidance on the use of resources and the positioning of the happy life of the people of Datang hint that there is still a long way to go, and it is not good to live in the countryside? ”

"I have my own direct livelihood, plus a combine harvester, a full set of household appliances, and then I would like to live in the country." Wang Juan squeezed his eyes and said to Zhang Xiaobao.

"The task now is to get the most out of the steam engine. Walk. Zhang Xiaobao didn't dare to think about what Wang Juan said, it still needed to work hard.

The two of them got back on their horses and continued westward, intending to put the new station not very far from the current road. I can just borrow the transportation function of the lower road. After listening to the old man's words, he had to give up this convenience and build the station far away.

As for the transportation of loading and unloading goods from the station, the two are not worried. It is believed that in the middle of this road and the new station, a large number of people will soon come to plan and build.

This is where the difficulty lies in the planning and construction of the city, which is divided into pieces by streets, and is not enough to live in, so it expands outward. The last big project had to be expanded far away, otherwise in a short period of time, the piece would be filled. Large projects are wrapped in the middle of the city.

But too far. That is, it has become a new urban area, and it is impossible for people who are working on big projects to run long distances for hours. In this way, due to the distance between the new small city and the normal urban area, the promotion effect of large projects on the urban area is not obvious.

Therefore, the planning and construction of cities is to plan, build, prosper, relocate, and re-plan......

The two rode through the area, which was still a bungalow, and walked five miles west, avoiding a hill. Finally determined the location, the soil structure or something looks good, and then send someone to investigate and verify it in detail, and then know if the station can be repaired.

******

When a foot-thick snow fell in the capital area, the various places where the work started had already stopped, and a group of teams that went to eat and fight also came back, and the third-line teams that fought by land from the Tang Dynasty came back, and when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan returned to the capital, they successfully joined up with the people who landed and fought at sea.

After half a month of clearing and suppressing, they returned by boat, and the task of clearing and suppressing was left to the people who had landed and fought in the area, and at the same time, a group of troops were sent over to fight in the localities for two or three months, and the people who had previously landed and fought again returned.

The battle team returned with a large amount of precious stones, gold, furs, and barrels of oil. The first batch of things was directly plundered by the war, and the largest number was looted in the homes of the locals.

Only this batch of things, in terms of pure monetary economic value, can already cover the cost of war, and clearing the wasteland is like playing games, and it can always take advantage of it.

However, this cannot be done in this way, and the gold consumed in the war can indeed be offset by the harvest, and the looted goods even exceed the price of the metal consumed. However, if the metal is not used for war, but for infrastructure, the money earned and the foundation laid will outweigh the loot.

Having said that, the money directly obtained by the war at the moment is not as good as using the metal of the war for construction, but it defeats the multi-food and creates the conditions for long-term economic plunder in the future.

It's a lot of fun to do the math over and over again.

In the eyes of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, it is still a good deal, and the military, politics, and economy have all gained.

"In the blink of an eye, it has reached the twenty-first day of the lunar month, and there are two more days of the small year, and then the big year, the first month, pinch your fingers, there is still a month before we get married, in fact, it should be put in March, at the beginning of summer."

Zhang Xiaobao made an abacus for a long time, patted the thick paper piled on the table, and said to Wang Juan, who was writing and painting next to him.

Wang Juan stopped moving: "What? Think it's too early to marry me? ”

"No, this half a month is really difficult, and there are more than eight months and nearly nine months that are even more difficult, and pregnant women are really temperamental. I mean, on the 26th day of the first month, our business in various places, as well as the businessmen in the catering industry who cooperate with us, will be busier, the New Year is already very busy, but we still have to prepare things for the banquet in advance, I am afraid that many people do not have the heart to celebrate the New Year, and wait for the day of our marriage. ”

"Just be older, the children will be happier." Wang Juan touched her belly and said, she has confirmed that she is pregnant for a month and a half, and she confirmed it twenty days ago, since she is going to get married, she naturally does not need to take other measures, she planned to be later, but the adults of the two families urged her, so she had to advance.
