Cao Shou was not afraid that others would think that he was like Li Han's tail and disliked him, so he clinged to Li Han and did not leave, even listened to the whispers, and secretly learned to ponder Li Han's way of doing things, and even learned the tactics of treacherous and deceitful.

All the way to the official road, the wharf is still some distance away from Huiji County, Zuo Wen brought his own carriage, and also prepared a carriage for King Liang and others, beckoning everyone to get on the car.

Li Han was not in a hurry to get in the car and enter the city, he wanted to see the original Suzhou too much, from the dock road, surrounded by a crowd of people who glowed with wealth, which made him very unhappy, but for the development of Hangzhou City, these gold owners who were ready to slaughter a knife still endured.

Knowing that entering the city was surrounded by wine banquets and scheming people, he wanted to delay a little, so he stood on the side of the road, looking at the distant mountains and near the water, outside the city in midsummer, of course, the green mountains and green waters are so exquisite, but unfortunately there are no weeping willows by the river, and there is no imaginary Jiangnan girl who sings Jiangnan minor tunes in Wu Nong's soft voice, which can't help but make him a little regretful.

Zuo Wen had been observing Li Han's expression, and seeing that he was looking at the landscape with a stunned face, he hurriedly accompanied him and asked carefully, "Is the lord on his mind?" ”

Li Han laughed self-deprecatingly: "In my imagination, after the canal is completed, the towns along the way will be able to get the benefits of waterways, since I have raised money to run through the canal, why don't the local governments invest a little money and plant willow trees along the coast to make the scenery better?" ”

Zuo Wen's eyes lit up and hurriedly said: "Oh, you are still elegant, Shaofu Cheng rest assured, the lower officials will arrange it immediately, as long as it is along the canal in Huiji, all flowers and trees will be planted, and they must be beautiful!" ”

Li Han said with a smile: "I feel the kindness of Zuo Gong so much, in fact, this proposal is not this gentleman's elegance, you must know that if the scenery on both sides of the waterway is pleasant, in a few days, there will be people sailing south and playing in the mountains and rivers." When the passage is passed, it will inevitably enter the city.

These tourists have money and leisure, and their spending power should not be underestimated, and over time, just the income brought by tourism to Huiji County is enough for Zuo Gong to become the top few taxpayers in the imperial court. ”

The more Zuo Wen listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he almost cried, this is the difference between an expert and a mallet! Why can't you think of such a good method? The God of Wealth casually nodded a few words. That's the sea of gold and silver!

No, if you let go of the God of Wealth easily, the ancestors will whip themselves in the middle of the night, you must let this young master eat and have fun and rest well, it is best to stay in Huiji for ten days and half a month, and you must get as much experience as possible to turn stone into gold, so as to live up to this rare opportunity.

Li Han looked around, but he didn't find the feeling of visiting Suzhou City in later generations, these original ecological exquisiteness. Compared with the artificiality after countless meticulous carvings in later generations, I don't know how many times more beautiful, and at this moment Buddhism has not yet become a climate, and it is impossible to have a building like Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City.

"Sir. Let's go to the city first, otherwise these crowds will be surrounded and will not look very elegant. Liu Li finally said.

Li Han smiled and said, "I thought of some things, and I delayed everyone's time." Then let's go into the city. ”

The administrative office of Huiji County is located in Wu County, which is the city of Suzhou in later generations, and the carriages and horses travel to the gate of the city. You can see the quaint city wall, as well as the word "Wu County" carved in stone on the city gate.

Li Han jumped out of the car, walked over to observe with great interest, and his mind was surging with the grievances and grievances between King Wu Lu and King Goujian of Yue here, and remembered that King Wu Liu Bi had also enjoyed the blood food of Jiangnan in this place, and now they have all been scattered, only Wu Land has been repeatedly divided, and this city is even more bizarre directly under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, rather than under the command of the Yangzhou Thorn History Department.

Watching Li Han squat down and caress those dirty city bricks with his hands, it can make a kind of fans look at each other, not understanding how this gray city brick that has existed for a long time attracts the God of Wealth, and is even more obsessed than stroking the girl's body.

Cao Shou also squatted down to see what he was doing, and after touching it for a while, he asked quietly: "Brother, is there gold wrapped in this?" ”

Li Han was remembering and sensing the breath of a hero, and suddenly when he heard such mundane things as "gold", he lost his interest, stood up and clapped his hands, and whispered in a vicious voice: "Can you not speak?" ”

Cao Shou was stunned, and then he nodded again and again, Li Han was speechless, rubbing his nose and walking to the carriage, while he was complacent, thinking that he had said Li Han's intention, Li Han was afraid that others would reveal the secret of heaven so he became angry.

After entering the city gate, Li Han did not take the carriage again, Zuo Wen couldn't wait to let Li Han walk around and see more, so as to give him a little more advice on making a fortune, and turned around and ordered Danyang County to order a few words, and soon, the merchants who followed behind were dismissed.

Now that he was quiet, Li Han could fully appreciate the prototype of Suzhou in the later generations, and only then did he find that he seemed to have underestimated this place on the dock.

Walking from Linhuai to here, I have also been to several towns along the way, and even Dongyang County, the capital of Jiangdu State, which is owned by the King of Jiangdu, is far from being so prosperous.

At this moment, Li Hanfang remembered that Wu County (now Suzhou City), the seat of Huiji County in the Western Han Dynasty, was already the largest metropolis south of the Yangtze River at that time. ”

Suzhou is also considered to be the first central city in the Yangtze River Delta region, and its status was maintained for more than 2,000 years until it was replaced by Shanghai after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (Gengshen Disaster).

In the county seat of Wu County, it has been quite Jiangnan style, all the way to the small bridge and flowing water, flowers and trees are sparse, the bluestone road is clean and tidy, and the shops on both sides of the road are also hung with Xiuhua's signboard flags, which look very good.

Further in, to the east of the county seat are huge private estates, Li Han secretly said, could it be that the Jiangnan garden was so large-scale in the Han Dynasty? In later generations, I often went to the Humble Administrator's Garden and other garden tours, but I don't know how the current gardens are different from later generations.

Zuo Wen can be said to be the first master of observing words and feelings, he saw Li Han standing at the door of a home, with a strong look of inquiry on his face, but he didn't say anything, beckoned a retinue and secretly instructed a few words, and the man left in a hurry.

After playing for a long time, Li Han and his entourage finally walked into a restaurant, this building is a three-story small building built entirely of wood, which looks antique, and the wine flag at the door reads "The First Floor of Jiangnan" Five big characters, and the group sat down, still one person and a few, sitting on the mat.

Zuo Wen smiled and said: "Today, all the nobles step on Huiji County, it is really the glory of the lower officials, although the food in this building is not as exquisite as Kyoto, but it is better than the natural freshness of the wild fun, please taste it." ”

Liu Wu behaved very low-key all the way, but sitting at the dinner table, he still respected him, and said: "The scenery is different in different places, and the food also has its own characteristics, the advantages and disadvantages cannot be evaluated, and the county guard is too polite." ”

When the meal was served, the first dish was a fish, which was taken by a clay bowl, and it was obviously a boiled dish, but the soup was thick and white, and there were some purple broken leaves floating on it, I don't know what it was, it smelled fragrant, and it was a little bit like the white fish soup that Li Han cooked at night.

Everyone tasted it, and Cao Shou's eyes lit up: "Oh, this fish is so fresh and tender, it tastes so good!" ”

Yes, although this fish is also a common boiling method, it is obviously made from freshly killed live fish, and the chef is also very clever not to put any condiments, just add a little salt, but the purple leaves cleverly purify the aroma of the fish, and remove the fishy smell of the fish, making this fish soup extremely delicious.

Li Han was quite surprised and said, "Could it be that there is a perilla growing here?" ”

Zuo Wen was stunned for a moment and said: "There are often wild purple leaves by the river, and the locals found that this thing can be put in to remove the smell when making fish, so it is also planted, why does the lord say that this thing is called perilla?" ”

Li Han nodded and said: "This thing is called perilla, it can be used in medicine, and it has a very good effect on the treatment of wind cold and fever with Bupleurum chinensis, I didn't expect it to be available here, and I will transplant some when I leave and bring it back to Beijing." ”

This thing is the wild weeds on the river beach, what difficulties does the lord have, but this also makes Zuo Wen feel that he has a shallow knowledge and suffers a big loss.

Hurriedly promised to dig up some more for the lord and plant them in flower pots, Zuo Wen began to greet and toast, and gradually brought the topic to the topic: "Shaofu Cheng, just now in the city, you also praised the excellent scenery and prosperity here, so why do you want to open up Hangzhou City?"

You must know that the place is extremely remote, and it is extremely difficult to build Wu County like this, not to mention that you have also drawn such a huge scale, isn't it a waste of manpower, material resources and time? Why not expand Wu County into a shopping mall, one already has a foundation is easier, and the other is located between the land and the sea, with both the sea and the lake, isn't it more in line with the standards of Shaofu Cheng? ”

Li Han smiled and said: "Zuo Gong's suggestion is very good, but in this way, the mall is not built at the end of the canal, which can easily lead to the abandonment of the waterway leading to Danyang County from here, which is not conducive to the prosperity of Danyang, therefore, Hangzhou City must be built, because that geographical location is irreplaceable." ”

Zuo Wen was a little gloomy, but he still nodded and said: "If you think about it like this, if it is really irreplaceable, then ......"

Li Han interrupted Zuo Wen's words and said: "However, the development of Huiji County is not impossible to carry out at the same time, Wu County already has such a scale, and continuing to develop is nothing more than icing on the cake, why not open up another place and build a shopping mall of the same scale as Hangzhou, that is a great merit out of nothing, what does Zuo Gong think?" (To be continued......)
