650 express trains
With the longing for the divine beast, Prince Zheng ordered the team to speed up their journey, and at this time, it was not far from the Golden Scale City.
Hey, King Yue has lived in the capital for a long time, and the most regrettable thing is that he has not been able to appreciate the great rivers and mountains under his rule.
Not to mention far, it is difficult for him to take a step out of the palace, and the prince often accompanies him, so he is naturally contaminated with some sorrow.
Well, it's a bit too much to say that you are sorrowful, after all, you don't know what it's like to be young and sad, but Prince Zheng's vision for the vast world is real, and it is no less than that of King Yue.
…………
The next day, the east gate of Golden Scale City.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat, the prince's frame hasn't come yet." The officials and guards were maintaining order, and their voices were about to smoke.
Isn't it, I heard that Lu Zhi was coming back, and the people of Golden Scale City spontaneously came to greet him, and this guy was so crowded that the city gate was blocked.
The guards of the city gate are still Qi Wei and Qi Meng, who are wearing brand-new robes and pretending to be majestic with their heads held high.
Assigning the task of maintaining order to his subordinates, the two of them were busy talking, "How is it?" Don't see the convoy yet? ”
"Nope."
"Hey, why didn't you say the grandfather of this country had arrived yet?"
"Don't worry, say it's coming soon, and ah, the city lord has ordered, we are here to greet His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Got it, what kind of power struggle, royal fight, right?"
"I don't understand that, but isn't it all sung like this in the play?"
The two of them don't have much muscle in their brains, they don't have much culture, and they don't know what officialdom is, but in Jinling City, there are a lot of people who come and go, and there are a lot of gossip from all walks of life.
Of course, these two mainly listen to stories and sing more in the teahouse in their spare time, and they are all things that they like to see, and they have heard some of them more or less.
…………
"It's finally here!" Lu Ren, the city lord of Golden Scale City, took clairvoyance and was the first to spot Prince Zheng's convoy, "Quick, hurry up and maintain order, don't let people laugh." ”
As soon as he spoke, the officials behind him hurriedly got busy.
"What are you smiling at? Hurry up! Lu Ren looked back and saw that Qi Wei and Qi Meng were actually distracted.
"Ah, ah, right now, right away." These two people are worthy of being natives who grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and it is not difficult to communicate with the squires and elders at all, and they are more useful than ordinary officials in talking, and order is quickly controlled.
Lu Ren nodded with satisfaction, this kind of silly and silly "head snake" just works, but it's a pity that the general "head snake" is too shrewd, and then it becomes a "dead snake".
Lu Ren is a kind-hearted person, but he will not be soft.
…………
"Your Royal Highness!" "Grandpa Guo!"
Prince Zheng and Lu Zhi got out of the carriage and ascended to the top of the city surrounded by a group of officials.
At the head of the city, Lu Zhi didn't say a word, and Prince Zheng stood at the front with a small body, stepping on a stool under his feet, so that the people and soldiers in the city could take a good look at him.
√, there is no need to make any speeches or anything, just let everyone admire the royal family, and that is enough.
To put it bluntly, Prince Zheng mainly came here to brush up on his sense of existence, as long as he didn't fall into the prestige of the royal family.
Of course, the people under the city are looking at the prince, and the prince is also looking at the city, standing high and looking far away, he can see a large area, it should be a large market.
"Okay, what a Jinling City, it's even more prosperous than the capital."
Lu Zhi stood aside and smiled slightly, "This is a transportation hub, and it is also a commercial hub, of course, it is more prosperous." ”
Prince Zheng muttered to himself: "Transportation hub and commercial hub? ”
Lu Zhi nodded, "Yes, if you want to get rich, build roads first." ”
Subtly, Lu Zhi instilled a lot of things in the head of Prince Zheng, what advanced thoughts, divine beast organs, there will be more, more in the future......
…………
Then, the people welcome the prince, and then there will be a party hosted by the city lord's mansion, where everyone eats and drinks together, sings and laughs, which is regarded as the welfare of the imperial court.
The people outside the city lord's mansion had a big party, and the city lord's mansion had already prepared a wine banquet, so it was necessary to serve the prince well.
There is no need to say more.
Taking advantage of the banquet between Prince Zheng and the officials of Golden Scale City, Lu Zhi called Lu Ren out alone, "Big brother, I can't stay in Golden Scale City for a few days, you take advantage of this time to gather all the family members and give me a lock of hair." ”
"A lock of hair?" Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, "Do you want both men and women?" ”
"Both." Lu Zhi looked serious and nodded firmly, "Not only the family, but also those loyal servants, by the way, you must also mark well, don't get confused." ”
"Done, I'll do it right away." What Lu Zhi decided, Lu Ren firmly implemented, what kind of body hair is affected by the parents, what kind of woman's hair can only be given to her husband, this is not a problem.
…………
As soon as the two brothers finished speaking, the fat and thin head came over, and they received Lu Zhi's order and happened to be in Golden Scale City.
"Grandpa Guo, Lord of the City." The two greeted each other and began to complain directly.
Speaking of which, there is no shortage of grain in Jinlan City, but to transport grain from Jinling City to Wu State, this distance is too far, and the travel fee is a large expense, too expensive.
When Lu Zhi heard this, this was indeed a big problem, dumping grain at a low price was indeed a strategy of the imperial court, but it could not blatantly use the resources of the imperial court.
Of course, there is no problem with using a small amount, and in terms of the ability of the fat and thin head, it can be done more or less, but this is really far from the requirements of Lu Zhi and the imperial court.
"The main thing that is bad is the transportation capacity." Lu Zhi thought for a moment, "In this way, I will ask the Beishan base to step up the construction of an express special train, and the Qinglong will be tentatively used to transport grain." ”
"Express train?" Lu Ren and the fat and thin head looked ignorant, and Lu Zhi briefly explained, in fact, it is a train with the creation of organs as the core, and it is not very difficult to build, and there is no need to lay even rails.
At the same time, it is also possible to let the sappers build granaries in the Dayue occupied area of Wu State, and I believe that with the attribute of good weather and good weather, there will be no need to worry about transporting grain in the future.
"Brother-in-law, this is inappropriate, it will affect your reputation."
Prince Zheng was too young, so Lu Zhi made him a cup of purifying wine, isn't it, he poured a full amount of water, and the little prince came out to release water, and happened to hear the conversation of several people.
"Hey, I don't want to be an emperor, what do I want such a good reputation for?" Lu Zhi spread his hands, behaved very calmly, and took the opportunity to say what was in his heart without hesitation.
The prince was speechless for a while, this is too direct, no wonder my father said that you have no political wisdom, like some kind of roundabout, insinuation, pun, and hidden knife in your smile...... Won't these basic ones be?
