This cement road is the first cement road built by Datang, so all aspects are very strict, the whole road is 50 steps wide, can be used by 12 large carriages in parallel. However, because of Li Su's proposal, a separation zone was added in the middle of the road, divided into left and right sides, and the cars and horses and pedestrians who came and went were on the right, which reduced the risk of collisions between cars and horses, and also allowed the cars and horses to let go of their speed and gallop.
It's just that today on this cement road, there was a strange scene, only to see on the right side of the road facing Chang'an, countless cars and horses rumbled, are racing against time to Chang'an, although there is a gap between the cars and horses, but the speed is still affected, and compared to the right side of the lane is crowded, the cars and horses on the left side of the road are very rare, that is to say, today this road to Chang'an accounts for the vast majority of the cars and horses.
Li Su and his entourage of dozens of carriages were also crowded between the carriages and horses, but compared to others, there were thousands of horseback guards around their carriages, so no one dared to get too close, but there were too many people on the road, although other people knew that this convoy must be a big man, but there was nowhere to hide if they wanted to, so Li Su and their carriage couldn't get up quickly.
"Wow~ That's a lot of people!" Cai'er on Li Su's carriage was lying on the window, shouting excitedly while watching, she grew up in Taiwan, although there are towns there, but most of them are sparsely populated, naturally I have never seen so many people crowded on the road.
"Liuyang, when I went back to Guanzhong this time, I found that it was really a great change, and when I passed by Luoyang two days ago, I almost didn't dare to admit it!" Yang Yun in the carriage stroked his beard and smiled. He was originally an open-minded person, and since he agreed to return to Chang'an, all the knots in his heart were put aside, and he appreciated the customs on the road while walking.
"Hehe, uncle, you haven't arrived in Chang'an yet, and when you arrive in Chang'an, you will definitely be surprised. It is the real prosperous place, which is several times stronger than Dengzhou and Luoyang! Before Li Ke could answer, Li Ke hurriedly spoke. They rode in a specially made four-wheeled carriage, which was not only smoother and faster, but also more wide, and sat on a dozen people without feeling crowded.
"What the third brother said is good, and if my uncle is interested, he can also watch the upcoming first Datang Games. At that time, not only athletes from all over the country will participate in the competition, but also players sent by surrounding countries, which can be described as very lively, you see the reason why our road is so crowded is because the Datang Games will be held soon! Li Su also said with a smile.
Last year, he was going to hold the first Datang Games, but due to insufficient preparation time and the wrong season, many events could not be held, so he had to hold a condensed version of the Winter Games, and the real Games were held in June this year. It is already mid-May, and naturally countless people are rushing to Chang'an.
"No...... No way. Could it be that these people all went to Chang'an to participate in that sports meeting? Yang Xuan's eyes widened and he asked in shock. Just what he saw on the road, it is estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of people, and if so many people are participating in the games, then the scale of the games is too big, right?
When Li Su heard this, he hurriedly explained with a smile: "Uncle misunderstood, there are actually still a few people who participate in the sports meeting, mainly because the sports meeting is opened. There will definitely be countless people to watch, and this is undoubtedly a huge business opportunity for various merchants. So most of these people we saw on the road were merchants in several cities near Chang'an, and most of the big carriages in front of us were transporting all kinds of goods. ”
Yang Jun looked at Li Su's fingers, and sure enough, he found that on the carriage in front and behind, all the goods were large and small packages, and looking at the clothes of the people on the car, they were indeed all guys in the trading house. Only then did he smile dumbly and said, "I see, but what is this sports meeting for, how can it attract so many people?" ”
As soon as Yang Xuan asked about this, Li Ke immediately laughed and pointed at Li Su and said, "Uncle, you have found the right one, this sports meeting was made by Liuyang, and we have already held it once last winter." ”
When Yang Jian heard that it was his own nephew, he was naturally more interested. Cai'er, who was lying on the window next to her, also heard about the sports meeting, and immediately jumped out of her seat and ran over to sit next to Li Su, and asked curiously: "Second cousin, please explain the sports meeting to me and my father, isn't it fun?" ”
"Haha~, or we are smart, and we got to the point all of a sudden, this sports meeting is really fun!" Li Su rubbed Cai'er's little head and laughed affectionately. At the beginning, their motive for organizing the sports meeting was for fun, although there were other meanings, but it was not in Li Su's consideration.
Next, Li Su explained the sports meeting in detail, and the result made Yang Xuan listen to it is amazed, as for Cai'er, who is only ten years old, she is even more yearning, looking at Li Su's little star, she really didn't expect that her second cousin could come up with such a fun way, and then she must go to watch every game of the sports meeting in person.
Because there were too many people on the road, Li Su's convoy was sandwiched between the cars and horses, and the speed could not be fast at all. Although the wrong-way road next to it is very empty, and the separation zone in the middle also has a passage to connect the left and right, but no one dares to drive in the opposite direction, this is not that the people of Datang are higher than the quality of driving drivers in later generations, but that Datang's punishment for this behavior is too heavy, and there will be officials on the road every other section to check, if someone is found to dare to drive in the opposite direction, the means of transportation and goods will be confiscated, and a huge fine will be imposed, and the heavy may also be subject to lawsuits, and it is not uncommon to be locked up for a few years. So in order to rush a little time, there is no need to take such a big risk.
Of course, driving in the opposite direction is not absolutely not allowed, in the newly added Datang law, there is a situation that is allowed to drive in the opposite direction, that is, in the event of an emergency military situation, the messenger who reports the message can drive on the road at will, including driving in the opposite direction, and even if it hits someone, it is not guilty, and even the person who is hit may be punished, after all, the military situation is urgent, and there can be no delay at all.
Li Su is the prince, and there are Li Ke, Li Yun and Li Zhen in the convoy, adding up to the four princes, but even so, their convoy is still honestly driving on the right, after all, they have not crossed the line. First, this road was proposed by Li Su, and of course he had to take the lead in abiding by the rules on the road, and secondly, although they were princes, they did have privileges in some aspects, but they were not unsupervised, for example, if they dared to go retrograde, and then let a bold imperial history participate in a book, although it would not be too big, but it would definitely make Li Shimin not very happy, so it was necessary to keep a low profile when it was time to keep a low profile.
After chatting with Yang Jun and Cai'er for a while, Li Su excused himself for something, and then under Cai'er's dissatisfied gaze, Yang Jun and Li Ke teased him, Li Su got out of the carriage with a smile and ran to a carriage behind.
This carriage is smaller than Yang Xuan's car in front, but it is also very comfortable, and the dozen or so guards on the horse next to him are not Li Su's people, but the guards of Cheng Mansion, these people are all sent to Mengxue by Mrs. Cheng, so there is no need to ask, it is naturally Mengxue who is sitting in this car.
Li Su came to the carriage, said hello to the guards next to him, and then got into the carriage directly, these guards knew the relationship between their young lady and Li Su, and they were also familiar with Li Su, so they naturally smiled and did not stop them.
As soon as Li Su got into the carriage, he heard a commotion in the carriage, and when he opened the door, he found that Mengxue was holding a silver needle in her left hand, and grabbed the insect's arm with her right hand, laughing to give her a needle, and the timid insect was scared to hide, but the space in the carriage was limited, and she couldn't avoid her own lady's 'claws' no matter how she dodged.
Fortunately, at this time, Li Su came in, and finally let the insect find a savior, and hid behind Li Su with a 'whoosh', and said timidly in a voice: "Uncle help, Miss bullied the insect again!" ”
Cui Mengxue didn't expect Li Su to come in suddenly, her current appearance really doesn't have a ladylike image, coupled with the insect 'uncle', which made Mengxue even more ashamed and angry, glared at the worm, and then hurriedly sat up, stroked her messy hair behind her ears, and showed an embarrassing smile to Li Su: "You're here!" ”
After this period of getting along, Mengxue has completely accepted Li Su. And when getting along, Li Su found that Mengxue was not as quiet as she saw on the surface, and occasionally when she was alone, she would also reveal her lively nature, so for today's situation, Li Su has long been surprised.
Li Su sat down with a smile, and by the way, drove the worm into the corner of the carriage, and then said: "Mengxue, we can return to Chang'an the day after tomorrow at the latest, have you really made up your mind?" ”
"Well, the power of one person is limited, and if you want to treat more people, you need to have a large number of doctors, so I also want to open a medical school of my own like Imperial Doctor Sun!" Cui Mengxue said with a firm face.
"Okay, since that's the case, then take advantage of this time, you can also go to Datang Medical College to teach, get more familiar with the management and teaching of all aspects of the medical school, and after we get married, I will take you to our own place to build you a medical school that is bigger than Chang'an!" Li Su saw that Mengxue had made up her mind, so she had to nod and say.
When Cui Mengxue heard the word 'marriage', her face couldn't help but blush, but then when she heard Li Su's promise to build a bigger medical school, her face couldn't help but show excitement, she was obsessed with medicine all her life, just to treat diseases and save people, it can be said that she is a real doctor, and now she can have a better way to save people, she is naturally more willing to do it. It's just that Meng Xue's excitement just lasted for a while, but she thought of something that made her a little embarrassed, and there was a trace of worry on her face.
