Chapter 37 We've Visited Me (I)
Although the train version 1.0 still has all kinds of shortcomings, after all, this is made by the top craftsmen in Chang'an City with countless painstaking efforts, so even if the connection part rumbles, the car is very bumpy, and the driving speed is not high enough, Bai Mei After experiencing a circle, when the train slowly stopped, he still immediately ran down and hugged his fists and said: "Qi Yu Majesty, this is a real artifact, moving like thunder, like the wind galloping, and tireless, only coal can be driven all the time, it is really my Tang Dynasty artifact, Lao Chen Jianyi opened it to foreign worship, in order to deter the Quartet. ā
The white-eyed building yƬ is simply a typical purchase of pearls, no wonder he is an ancient person, his knowledge is shallow, and he wastes his old strength, is it reserved for the worship of barbarian countries? Is it really a nuclear weapon, and as soon as the train starts, they surrender one after another?
Not to mention, Bai Mei really thinks so, in the eyes of the Tang people, the steel monster that can make such a loud noise is no less deterrent than thousands of troops.
Seeing Li Er who was thinking about it, Xu Yang immediately reacted, if this is really a golden mouth, and he regards this thing as an object of worship for barbarians, he has no place to cry when he cries.
"Your Majesty, although the construction of the father-in-law of Baimei is good, it is contrary to the original intention of the Guigu master to invent the train." Forced to be calm, Xu Yang subconsciously stroked his beard and said in a high-spirited manner.
"Oh?" Hearing Xu Yang say this, Li Er really showed a curious look, "Boy, come to me quickly, what did this Guiguzi mean when he invented this train." ā
Xu Yang pointed to the country, raised his hand, and said: "After the first and twelfth generation of Guigu ancestors created the steam engine, he felt the great effect of this thing on people, so he dived into the mountains, carefully studied, and got a glimpse of the steam engine, so he invented the steam car, which is now a bus that drives all day long on Xuanwu Street in Chang'an. ā
Li Er heard this, his face was a little moved, he had seen a steam car, and he understood the benefits of this thing for the Tang Dynasty, before Xu Yang did not collect tax orders from the Ministry of Households, the country's taxes were only agricultural taxes and salt taxes, and the low commercial taxes were rarely included in the treasury, but since the reform of the tax law, Li Er found for the first time that the commercial tax in just one month was actually more huge than the agricultural tax of the whole year, with a monthly income of 500,000 yuan. (Of course, what Li Er didn't know was that the gold, silver, copper, iron, spices, and seafood shipped from overseas from Australia were also counted.) Li Er was moved by this huge asset, not to mention the household department.
Li Er also summoned Xu Yang once with a worried face and asked once, to the effect that Emperor Yang of Sui forcibly levied agricultural taxes on the people, although the warehouse was full of grain, but the people starved to death, even if Taicang stored enough grain for Luoyang to eat for ten years, Emperor Yang of Sui was still destroyed, and now he actually collected 500,000 commercial taxes, are the merchants about to starve to death?
Xu Yang laughed a few times when he heard this, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military dared to laugh at Li Er like him, he was the only one, there was no semicolon, Li Er was not angry, and sat and waited for Xu Yang's answer.
After laughing at that time, Xu Yang personally invited Li Erweifu to pay a private visit, and wanted to take him to experience the day of the people of Chang'an in person
To say that this private visit can only be traced back to the time of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, no emperor in the previous dynasties took the initiative to do this, and the emperor traveled with at least 60 people in the past, so Kangxi, the emperor, was still quite hard.
Where had Li Er heard of this idea before, and the private interview with Weifu sounded very interesting, so he listened to Xu Yang's construction, and followed Xu Yang out of the imperial city with only Bai Mei and the two commanders of the Imperial Forest Army.
Li Er didn't tell anyone about his trip this time, and even Empress Changsun just claimed that His Majesty was going to take a day off, so don't disturb. Xu Yang felt that if Li Er secretly went out of the city and was known by Wei Zheng, the old horseman, it would definitely be another death.
Fortunately, Li Er's spy agency did a good job, and he got out of the imperial city without too much difficulty.
Outside Chang'an City is now changing with each passing day, Li Er has been looking around curiously since he left the city, as if he has re-acquainted himself with the place he ruled, the periphery of the imperial city is the first to pave the ground with cement, and the pavement in the imperial city is white marble, so there is no need to pave cement, otherwise the people around the imperial city will not be able to enjoy the benefits of cement pavement.
Since Li Er is on a private visit today, then take him to the most prosperous east and west cities in Chang'an to have a look, and make a decision, Xu Yang took Li Er to shake towards the east and west markets in three steps, in the winter, Li Er was wearing a cashmere jacket, and the cost was extraordinary at a glance, either rich or expensive, and there were two strong men with fierce faces behind him, so passers-by also avoided this eldest brother who didn't know which one.
Li Er is curious everywhere, without the shackles of the emperor's identity, there is a very wonderful feeling in this crowd, this feeling makes him a little unstoppable, in fact, it is no wonder that people always like the new and hate the old, a new identity, with more novel feelings, plus there is a possibility of a beautiful encounter, Xia Yuhe on the shore of Daming Lake and the like, so it is not to blame Qianlong for going to the south of the Yangtze River seven times, rich and handsome and short and poor, this counterattack is sour, not ordinary people can appreciate it.
When I arrived at Xuanwu Street, this street used to be an official road, that is, the government administrative leadership channel, but now, there is no official road at all, only the whole Xuanwu Street, connecting the east and west cities, and now the street is full of hawkers selling all kinds of things, as if it has become a commercial street.
Li Er can be said to have not been out for a long time, and in the face of this situation, he was actually speechless, and only after a long time turned his head to Bai Mei beside him and asked, "Did this son go to the wrong place?" This is Xuanwu Street? Ben Gongzi remembers that three months ago, there were not all soldiers and armor here, why are they all vendors now? ā
Bai Mei said flatteringly: "Don't you remember?" The business club on this Xuanwu street, originally proposed to build this street into a shop street, one of the three of which was included in the household department, and Lord Xu said that he would build a bus trunk on this road to facilitate transactions, Gongzi, you still personally approved it, don't you remember? ~ā
As soon as Bai Mei said this, Li Er suddenly patted his head, "Eh~ I remember, there is such a thing." After that, he looked curiously at the changes that had taken place on Xuanwu Street.
At that time, Xu Yang saw that Li Er was stunned, and hurriedly walked up and said: "Li Gongzi, didn't you say that you were going to Dongxi City, there is a bus in front, let's go up and take a seat." ā
Li Erleng paused for a moment, and saw that in the direction of Xu Yang's finger, a steam car with black smoke and like a house was parked not far away R1152
