In this era, if a soldier wins a war, there will be a reward, these are nothing more than knighthoods and rewards, but this is only a very small part, and many people's merits are not too high, so they can only reward some money or something?

But passing through the Arc de Triomphe is different, under the attention of the people of the city, meritorious soldiers can walk through here, and then enter the city, there is a must be meritorious soldiers, which gives them a lot of vanity, which is much better than directly rewarding money. （）

Especially for those who do not have much credit, this is a great honor that can give them great encouragement and motivation.

After Zhao Xu's explanation, everyone finally understood what Zhao Xu meant, this move is high, it can make the soldiers have a lot of motivation, everyone agrees with what is not said, there are still more than ten days before the emperor returns to Bianjing, Zhao Xu quickly ordered to go down, and the relevant personnel are ready to go. He himself had nothing to do.

On this day, he took Dong Xuanye and Liu Hongqing to walk around the city, and of course accompanied by Miao Xun. It stands to reason that Liu Hongqing and Dong Xuanye should be very busy now, and their current identity is a bit overkill to be Zhao Xu's guard, but they are willing to do it, plus they are okay this day, so they are cheeky.

At this time, Zhao Xu's party was at the wharf of the Bianhe River, which is also known as the Tongji Canal, which is a section of the Grand Canal opened by the Sui Dynasty.

When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, tens of thousands of hits such as Henan and Huaibei were conquered, and the Grand Canal called Tongji Canal was dug up, which led the valley from Luoyang Xiyuan and Luoershui into the Yellow River, and entered the Bianshui through the Yellow River, and then according to the old channel of the canal opened by Wu Wangfu in the Spring and Autumn Period, it flowed into Surabaya to reach Huaishui. Therefore, the main trunk of the canal is in the Bianshui section, and it is customary to call it the Bianhe River.

Up to now, the Bianhe River is an important transportation hub of the country's water transportation, a commercial transportation artery, and most of the grain and grass in the south of the Yangtze River are transported to the north through this Bianhe River.

Zhao Xu and his entourage were watching the scene on the dock:

Seeing that the wharf was densely populated and merchant ships gathered, it was so lively. There is a teahouse next to it, and some people are resting in the teahouse, some are watching fortune telling, and some are eating in the rice shop.

Ships come and go in the river in the distance, end to end, some people pull fiber, some people swing oars, some are full of goods, upstream, it seems that they are about to ship.

There are also berths and rests, and more are nervously unloading, which is a hot scene.

Across the Bianhe River is a large-scale wooden arch bridge, which has an exquisite structure and beautiful form. It's like a flying rainbow, so I don't know who married Rainbow Bridge with such a vision. There was a big boat waiting to cross the bridge.

The boatmen were propped up with bamboo poles; There is a long rod to hook the bridge; He who holds the boat with a hemp rope; A few others were busy lowering the masts so that the ships could pass the reads; The people in the neighboring boat were also pointing and shouting as if they were shouting something.

Both inside and outside the ship were busy crossing the bridge. The people on the bridge stretched out their heads to sweat at the tense scene of crossing the boat, perhaps just to see the scenery.

On both sides of the Rainbow Bridge, there is also a lively scene, the bridge is covered with knife and scissor stalls, food stalls and various grocery stalls, and the two stall owners are vying to greet a passer-by to see their goods.

After seeing the wharf, the group returned to the city again, and the houses on both sides were lined up, with tea shops, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public houses, etc., even now it is not so lively.

In addition, there are medical clinics, cart repairs, fortune telling, face trimming and plastic surgery, all walks of life, everything is available, the big shop door hangs the market banner to solicit business, and the pedestrians in the market are shoulder to shoulder, and the river is endless.

There are businessmen, gentry watching the street scene, officials on horseback, hawkers, family members in sedan chairs, monks with walking feet with baskets, tourists from other places asking for directions, children in the streets and alleys who listen to and hear stories, children of wealthy families who drink in restaurants, disabled old people begging on the edge of the city, men and women, old and young, scholars, farmers and businessmen, three religions and nine streams, everything.

There are so many kinds of vehicles coming and going: sedan chairs, camels, ox carts, and of course, horseback riding, all kinds of things, all kinds of things, presenting the prosperous scene of a commercial city in front of people's eyes.

"Childe, look, this Bianhe River is so lively!" Miao Xun still calls Zhao Xu his son, which is much better than calling him the lord.

"Sir, what I don't understand is why you are unwilling to be an official, when my father wanted to give you an official, but you insisted on refusing, what does this mean?" Zhao Xu's image at this time was completely different from usual, because what he was eating in his mouth was a sugar gourd, and he was still eating with relish.

"Childe, as soon as you enter the officialdom, I can't help myself, I'm better to follow Childe, so that I can always be driven by Childe." Miao Xun was still holding a feather fan, shaking it a few times from time to time.

Zhao Xu shook his head helplessly, this Miao Xun had nothing to do with him:

"Don't talk about this, if my father sees this prosperous scene here today, he will be very happy, it seems that the change of dynasty has not had much impact on the people and merchants here, this is the best, otherwise we are really acting against the sky."

"What Childe said is, doesn't this just mean that we are obedient to the people. The emperor is eloquent and strategic, and it is only a matter of time before he takes the world as his own responsibility, and it is only a matter of time before the war ends. ”

Listening to Miao Xun said, Zhao Xu actually spit out a few hawthorn cores from his mouth, and the string of sugar gourds had not yet been eaten, and at this time, he saw an old woman in front of him with a child with a dirty face.

Seeing that the old man was almost hungry, even the child was dying, and the two of them were lying on the side of a deserted street, no one cared.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu walked up quickly, talked about the old man's snort with his hand, and his breath was very weak, his lips were chapped, and when he saw someone in front of her, he tried to open his eyes and take a look.

At this time, Miao Xun walked up quickly, looked at the two people on the ground, and then Zhao Xu said:

"There is nothing big about these two people, they are just too hungry, so they have no strength in their whole body, and there is nothing serious."

As soon as Zhao Xu heard this, he immediately ordered Liu Hongqing to buy two bowls of broth, and at this time, they couldn't eat other things, only broth and the like were the best to swallow, and at the same time, they could recover their strength the fastest.

No, Liu Hongqing came with two bowls of hot broth, Zhao Xu hurriedly fed them, which also took them a long time, and after a while, the old woman and the child recovered.

"Come to Qiong'er to kowtow to Engong, and when you find your father, you must thank him for hearing it." As she spoke, the old woman pulled the child to salute Zhao Xu. was stopped by Zhao Xu and them:

"Old woman, you don't have to be so polite, get up quickly, En, Lao Liu, help the old woman, let's find a better restaurant, you and they have a good meal."

Soon Zhao Xu was holding the child, in fact, he was not young, he was about seven or eight years old, and his body was strong, but his whole body was in tatters, covering his original appearance. A group of six of them came to a nice restaurant.

The golden words must be thrown over, and the restaurant owner is running over to serve, and he doesn't look at people with low eyes, what does it mean that Hanako is not allowed to enter, and all the words will be swallowed in his stomach. Zhao Xu looked at them gobbling up and was embarrassed.

waited until they finished eating before Zhao Xu asked, "I heard what you meant just now, you came to find someone, how did you end up at this point?" Zhao Xu asked this for his own reasons.

Just now, the old woman said that Qiong'er and others must thank them when they find your father, indicating that they are here to find someone to reads;.

"So that Engong knows, this is my grandson, in fact, the grandson of my lord, my lord was killed by the emperor many years ago, we were hidden in Tibet and lost, the child's father is my young master and I don't know where I went, and then I led the baby master alone, and many years have passed."

The old woman kept crying as she spoke, and it seemed that she had really suffered unexpected hardships from others.

"Old woman, don't be excited, say slowly, then why haven't you thought about looking for your young master for many years, how can you remember to bring your child here, and how do you know that he is in this Bianjing City?"

Zhao Xu is right, after so many years, there have been constant wars, maybe the so-called young master in her mouth has died a long time ago, and her young master may not be in Bianjing.

"For so many years, I have been in the north with the little master, where there is always war, recently I heard from a local businessman that my young master has become a big official in Bianjing, so I took the little young master here to try my luck." The old woman is also real.

"Mother-in-law, have you thought about it, what if you can't find your young master, for example, you almost ...... today" Yes, if it wasn't for Zhao Xu, they would probably be here.

"Alas, there is no way, you are starving to death in the north, why don't you come to this capital?" The old woman looked sad.

"Brother, I will repay you in the future, thank you for letting me eat well, Mr. said that the grace of some water should be reciprocated by the spring."

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this kid to speak so decently, and he reciprocated, he didn't care, but later this sentence actually became a reality.

"Engong, don't be surprised, there is an old gentleman in the village who is literate, and every day Qiong'er goes to learn literacy and hyphenation from him." The old woman probably saw Zhao Xu's question and opened her mouth to explain.

Zhao Xu was relieved, and reported Xiao Gaoqiong to his lap: "Brother doesn't want you to repay as long as you can be a good man, by the way, mother-in-law, what do you add to your young master, I have many acquaintances in this Bianjing City, maybe I may know each other, so you don't have to run around." ”

"Engong, my young master's name is Gao Huaide, that is, his name is Gao Huaide."

Wife, in a word, everyone was shocked, this little guy is Gao Huaide's son? .
