(Thank you for the book friend QS Demon Dao and XGYGUU!) )
couldn't resist the pestering Zhou Zhiruo, Lu Chengqi could only admit that he was "unlucky". Pen? Interesting?

Gongchen Gate is the gate of Dashun Imperial Palace close to the back garden, at the beginning of Shun, Taizu in order to show the thrift and love the people and the importance of agricultural affairs, set up the Guanjia Hall and the Silkworm Palace in the Imperial Palace. In the Guanjia Hall in the back garden, the emperor planted rice in front of the palace every year and harvested it after autumn. As the mother of a country, the queen holds a silkworm ceremony in the silkworm palace every spring and completes the entire silkworm raising process.
Subsequently, because it was not easy for the people to see the pro-farming in the palace, Wenzong decided that the pro-farming would be set up in the Huangzhuang on the outskirts of the city in the future, so that more people could see how the emperor attached importance to agriculture.
From the corridor of Funing Palace, through the Yingyang Gate, Linhua Gate, out of the Gongchen Gate, it is considered to be out of the Dashun Palace. It's just that there is still a Yanfu Palace outside the palace wall, which is a place for the emperor and the queen to play. At first, the scale was not large, but after expansion and repair, it has gradually grown into the largest garden in Anseong, corresponding to the forest garden outside the city.
Coming out of the east gate of Yanfu Palace, it is considered to be in the downtown area. Between the quiet and the noisy, but separated by a palace wall, there is quite a sense of being hidden in the city.
Zhou Zhiruo, who came out of the palace, became the sixteen or seventeen-year-old little girl, and when she saw anything new, she had to be amazed, run over, and look at it for a long time. Lu Chengqi was anxious to see the newly developed Chidao, and urged many times before Zhou Zhiruo reluctantly put it down and said, "I want them all!" ”
I was so happy that those burden-carrying merchants, one by one, thought that a big money owner had come, and they ran forward and backward happily to serve Zhou Zhiruo. Only Wang Yanchen, the chief of the imperial guard, clutched his shriveled purse tightly and wanted to cry without tears.
Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo was walking too slowly, Lu Chengqi had to let Wang Yanchen, who was already full of resentment, pay for his own money to hire a carriage and gallop towards the outside of the city.
Since the abolition of the entrance tax and the poll tax, the responsibility of the city defense department has become to defend Gyeonggi and the buildings set up by the royal family. Although the salary has increased, there is no gray income, and these soldiers of the city defense department can't lift their spirits one by one, and they are too lazy to care about the people who enter and leave the city. It's also that the crime rate in Chang'an City is not high, otherwise, they would have something to do if they were curfew every day.
Because he had to take care of Zhou Zhiruo, who was not used to riding in a car, Lu Chengqi instructed the coachman to hurry slowly, so that the imperial guards who had softened their muscles in the palace could exercise and jog along with the carriage.
Wang Yanchen wanted to cry without tears, not only to dig out his purse, but also to run with his life, sometimes he really wanted to put his burden on and stop doing this errand. However, Lu Chengqi treated him really well, remembered him every New Year's holiday, and rewarded him with a lot of things, so that Wang Yanchen continued to do it, painful and happy.
In fact, Lu Chengqi never forgot to give him back the money, it was Wang Yanchen who slapped his swollen face and became fat, and said in the tone of Wen Xian Crepe that he had just learned: "It is the blessing of the courtiers to share the worries of the Son of Heaven!" ”
Lu Chengqi was also skeptical and didn't take it seriously. But during the New Year's holidays, he gave him more money than others. Even if it was a book that read it, they were envious, thinking that Wang Yanchen was deeply favored. In fact, it is all the scenery that is exchanged for the money that is usually saved, and the hardships are hard, who knows?
The carriage galloped all the way, looking at the wheat seedlings that had grown lush and green, Lu Chengqi couldn't help but feel good. At this time, it is the height of summer, the cicadas are singing pleasantly, the smoke is blowing, and the heat wave is rolling. Fortunately, I am wearing a cool shirt at this moment, otherwise it would be too hot to wear a brocade robe in such weather.
Zhou Zhiruo was also wearing a narrow-sleeved short coat at this time, a long skirt underneath, a long shirt with a placket on top of the top, and a precious "jade ring ribbon" tied on the ribbon around her waist, pretending to be a rich girl. In fact, this is also Zhou Zhiruo's dress when she was a girl, and when she wears it at the moment, she looks down-to-earth and generous, and a scholarly charm comes to her nose.
Look at the busy farmers in the fields, all dressed in "short brown" (a short, thick cloth coat), or driving ploughing cattle or pushing small carts. Occasionally, there are one or two shepherd boys, riding on the back of an ox and playing the flute, a picture of a rural farmhouse!
After about half an hour, they finally walked to the gate of the Royal University in the suburbs, and at this time, more than 20 imperial guards were so tired that they collapsed to the ground, and their legs and stomachs trembled. Lu Chengqi ignored them, and after showing the token to the forbidden army guarding the Royal University, he entered the Royal University hand in hand with Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhou Zhiruo, who has never been to Royal Roads University, has only heard its name in the "Da Shun Min Daily", and feels very new to everything with Royal Roads University.
Lu Chengqi, under the leadership of Yang Daoqi, who came to greet him, came directly to the experimental field. I saw a galloping road that looked like a railroad track in later generations, appearing in front of me.
Lu Chengqi approached the gallop road in surprise, reached out to touch the railroad tracks that were slightly hot under the hot sun, and asked happily, "Who came up with this?" ”
Yang Daoqi said with a smile: "This is what Lord Tang came up with, such a galloping path is beyond the expectations of the old man." Your Majesty's knowledge is indeed broad and profound. Utensils, old decay is a service! ”
Rao is Lu Chengqi's face is as thick as a city wall, and he couldn't help but blush at this time. These are all things that he had on a whim, and it would be good to get results, maybe he had some ideas that had no practical meaning at all. In this regard, he was also nervous, and he was deeply afraid that he would not be able to make anything after spending a lot of money and silver.
He quickly changed the topic and said, "What about the carriage, hurry up and bring it, let me see how powerful this gallop is!" ”
When Shen Kuo and Su Song heard this, they immediately asked the students to pull the carriage to the rammed earth layer paved with wooden planks similar to the platform of the railway station in later generations, and drove the carriage to the top of the gallop road along the grooves of the pre-made wooden planks. As soon as the horse came to the gallop, it was as if it had been beaten with chicken blood, and it became excited, and the horse's hooves flew and galloped along the trajectory of the gallop. Lu Chengqi moved three feet away, but he still felt that there was a strong wind blowing in his face.
After waiting for the carriage to turn a big corner along the gallop, Lu Chengqi, who was staring at the carriage intently, suddenly frowned. It turned out that the carriage was so fast when it turned that the carriage almost flew off the road under the force of great inertia.
A hundred feet long gallop, the galloping carriage galloped down, but in the blink of an eye, it was already to the end. Stepping on the solid plank again, the steed looked a little unsatisfied, shook his head "slightly", and walked a few steps restlessly on the plank. The coachman in the carriage tightened his grip on the reins to control the galloping horse.
Seeing Lu Chengqi's frowning face, Shen Kuo, Su Song and Tang Xun's hearts couldn't help but "plop" and beat wildly. Shen Kuo is newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and asked directly: "Your Majesty, but what's wrong?" ”
At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo, who came back to her senses, took Lu Chengqi's hand and exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, what kind of novelty is this?" ”
