Chapter 61: Gold Everywhere
The territory of the Great Qians is vast, but before Li Yunqing included the old land of Bingao into the whole map of the imperial court, the land south of the Yangtze River was much richer than that of the north. It can be called the land of fish and rice, and it is the main source of tax revenue. There are many talented and beautiful people in Jiangnan, and there are great Confucian ministers. It can be described as outstanding and poetic. However, in the past 10,000 years, more than ten dynasties have come down, and the strange thing is that Jiangnan has never had an emperor. The emperor sits in the north and holds the south, which seems to be a kind of fate. The emperors of all dynasties liked to visit the south of the Yangtze River, but the Daqian Emperor was an exception.
Neither Taizu nor Taizong had ever set foot in the land south of the Yangtze River, perhaps because they didn't have that idleness. After all, even if you count the eight years of prosperity of the Longwu Dynasty, the founding of the Great Qianguo is less than a hundred years. The people of Jiangnan never seemed to have thought that the real dragon would quietly take an extremely ordinary carriage on a drizzly morning and came to the land of Jiangnan.
Li Yunqing's improvement is much better now, and along the way, Xie Lin always naturally finds a song that can be played, so much so that later Li Yunqing himself began to ask Xie Lin to have a song every day, without stopping. Xie Lin truthfully told Li Yunqing that what he was playing was meditation, and Li Yunqing just smiled slightly after listening to it: "I didn't expect that the master could enjoy the treatment of the emperor." ”
Johor has been the most famous city in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times, and has always been known as the Hall of the World. Li Yunqing got out of the carriage as early as outside the city, and everyone walked into the city with him when they saw that he was quite high. Li Yunqing asked Xie Lin with a smile: "The old man has traveled from south to north all these years, and I don't know if he has come to this human hall with a long girl?" In the middle of the conversation, the five of them have entered Joju City.
The granddaughter's eyes regained her sight, and Xie Lin's interest was also very high. He shook his head with a smile and said: "Back to the prince, although the old slave has been to many places, and Jiangnan has also been here two or three times, but this Jozhou has never been here." ”
Li Yunqing heard the words and asked Zhao Bingyan on the side, Zhao Bingyan had been here before, but most of the time he was just watching the flowers and flowers, and he didn't really have a good time. After hearing this, Li Yunqing smiled and said: "In this case, let's have fun this time, there are a lot of interesting places in Jozhou, we don't have to wander around for two or three months." ”
Joju City can be called a human hall, and it is naturally not comparable to ordinary cities. It is wide enough to accommodate five horse-drawn carriages in parallel, and the streets are even more lively, with all kinds of restaurants and shops, and even bulk traders setting up stalls, there are countless and prosperous, even compared with the imperial capital. It's just that the prosperity of Johor is just bustling and lively, and it lacks a kind of tolerance and bearing under the monarchy of Tai'an City. However, this Tai'an City is Tai'an City after all, and there is only one imperial capital below. In any case, there are few cities under Tai'an City that can be compared with this, and there are few that can be compared with today's Daqian.
When you arrive at such a good place, you naturally have to find a place to eat and drink, although you can't talk about sleeping in the open these days, but you really haven't eaten a few meals in order to hurry. It didn't take long for Li Yunqing to be attracted by a restaurant. I saw that the signboard was very poetic and picturesque, with a bright moon and a clear breeze. Li Yunqing nodded and said, "That's it!" ”
Who knew that Li Yunqing was just about to take a step but was attracted by a commotion, only to see a rather gorgeous carriage rushing over. There was a man in the carriage who looked like a rich boy sticking his head out of the carriage, and when he looked closely, he seemed to be throwing something out of the carriage. I saw that many people followed the carriage, bending over as if to pick up something.
When he got closer, Li Yunqing finally saw clearly that the people in the carriage were throwing gold ingots one by one. The gold ingots were not big, as big as a baby's hand, but the most important thing was that it was gold, not copper or silver. I saw that the people in the car laughed loudly, and kept muttering: "Pick it up, hehehehe, yes, that, there is another one!" Pick it up! ”
Such an act is not a kind of charity, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be playing tricks on the people. Seeing that the carriage was about to come to him, Li Yunqing sneered and planned to enter the restaurant for dinner. At this moment, a gold ingot just fell under his feet. Li Yunqing had no intention of bending down to pick up the gold, and walked straight towards the restaurant. Even Zhang Xie, who has always been greedy for money, did not look at the gold ingots this time. Li Yunqing had just taken two steps, but he heard a voice shouting, "Stop!" ”
Li Yunqing heard that the person who came was calling himself, but he didn't mean to stop at all, and walked straight inside. The man had no intention of giving up, and immediately continued: "The one in white, this son called you, did you hear?" Stand still for Ben Gongzi and turn around! This is your last chance! There was a thick tone in his voice, and there was no one in his eyes.
At the same time, two big men dressed as family members rushed up, and they wanted to catch Li Yunqing. Xie Lin saw that someone wanted to move the son, so he naturally wouldn't stand idly by, so he had to take action to restrain the two. Li Yunqing turned around and walked towards the door at this time, and raised his eyes to look at the noble son sitting in the carriage. This skirt is a good skin, but it looks like a human dog.
I only heard Li Yunqing ask, "Are you calling me?" I was thinking about things just now, but I didn't hear it, and I hope my brother will forgive me! ”
At this moment, there are already a large number of people at the door of the restaurant, all waiting to see the excitement. Seeing that Li Yunqing finally spoke, the noble son sneered and said: "It turns out that he has a bad ear, it's just that, the gold ingots on this ground are rewarded to you by the master, pick him up." As he spoke, the noble boy looked forward to the man in front of him, who seemed to be even better looking than himself, to bend over.
Zhao Bingyan was wearing a veil and the beauty could see her expression clearly, but those eyes looked at the noble son, all cold. Of course, at this moment, the noble son has not noticed Zhao Bingyan, after all, Zhao Bingyan is covered with his face, covering his peerless face, although he still looks like a fairy, but it is not so fascinating that the noble son is more interested in Li Yunqing at this moment.
Li Yunqing really bent down and picked up the gold ingots when he heard the words of the noble son, and the noble prince smiled brightly when he saw this scene, and said proudly: "Ouch, looking at your dog-like appearance, I thought I would scream twice, but I really didn't expect it." He originally thought that Li Yunqing could play with him for a while and have some fun for him, but he felt bored when he saw the other party so obedient.
The noble prince just wanted to leave, but saw Li Yunqing looking around with the gold ingot, and his eyes fell on an old beggar. He walked over with a slight smile, threw the gold ingots into the old beggar's broken bowl, and said, "Don't sleep in the open when you're old, this gold ingots are for you, and live the rest of your life." "No one thought that Li Yunqing would actually come to borrow flowers to offer Buddha.
The old beggar was naturally grateful to Li Yunqing, and kowtowed to Li Yunqing vigorously, saying that Li Yunqing was a living bodhisattva and a good man of the tenth generation. The noble prince who was about to leave was completely dumbfounded when he saw this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, he felt that he had been tricked, like a monkey, and a nameless anger rushed to his throat.
