Chapter 0105 Finally came out and breathed a sigh of relief
Liu Ying didn't know anything about what was happening in Chang'an City and what was about to happen.
Since Sima Men left Weiyang Palace and joined his uncle Lu Shizhi, Liu Ying and his entourage crossed Weishui north of Chang'an and set foot in the Weibei region in the real sense.
As soon as the convoy passed Weishui, Liu Ying got out of the car impatiently, walked on the wide straight road, and greedily breathed in the fresh air that filled the fields after autumn.
"Whew~"
"It's a breath of breath ······ out."
Muttering to herself with enjoyment on her face, Liu Ying looked at the endless fertile land, only to feel relaxed and happy.
The 'coming out' in Liu Ying's mouth naturally does not mean coming out of the carriage.
But from the beginning of the previous life to the present, the two lives together have been a full nine years, and this is the fourth time that Liu Ying has been able to leave Chang'an······
The first and third times, naturally, were crossed before and after, both starting from the funeral of Emperor Liu Xuan, and without exception, they were driven back to Chang'an from Xinfeng by their father Liu Bang.
The second time is the previous life, Liu Bang died in April of the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying was supported by his mother Lu Pheasant and the court's hundred officials and the Marquis of the court, and then went south out of Chang'an, to the southern suburbs of Chang'an, Sheji, nine temples to worship the ancestors, and went through the legal procedures of inheriting the throne.
In addition to these three times, Liu Ying has not been able to leave Chang'an for even half a step in the nine years that Liu Ying has been in this world, whether it is the two years he has been the prince or the seven years he has been the emperor!
It is rare to take the opportunity of 'renovating Zhengguo Canal' to run out of Chang'an, Liu Ying feels comfortable in her heart.
Even with it, the countryside that has been barren and bare with endless ridges is becoming more and more 'beautiful' in Liu Ying's eyes.
Seeing Liu Ying jump out of the car, Lu Shizhi couldn't continue to sit in the car, so he also got out of the car, trotted forward with a smile, and came to Liu Ying's side.
"But in the past few years, the family lived in the deep palace, and it was a little more depressed?"
Hearing Lu Shizhi's slightly cordial greeting, Liu Ying couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and nodded with a grateful face.
"yes~"
"Since the second year of the Han Dynasty, my father and emperor defeated Pengcheng, and my nephew stayed by the side of his uncle Zhou Lu Lingwuhou."
"After five years of Han Dynasty, Han Zuo Li, his father set the capital of Chang'an, Xiao Xiang was ordered to build Changle and Weiyang palaces, and Lone never stepped out of Chang'an half a step ······"
Saying this with a gloomy voice, Liu Ying couldn't help but sigh again, and there was a little self-deprecation on her face.
"At the age of five, my nephew can be said to be sitting in a well and watching the sky, only thinking that the world is big, but Weiyang, Changle two palaces, and Chang'an Eighth Street Jiumo ······"
Listening to Liu Ying's sigh of resentment, Lu Shizhi couldn't help but bow his head and smile, and his tone was also a little gentle.
"The family is young, and the Han country is square and square, and the world is determined, but there are endless disputes."
"Your Majesty makes the family live in peace in the deep palace, and it is also the safety of the family······"
Hearing this, Liu Ying only smiled and nodded, was silent for a moment, and then diverted the topic about her father Liu Bang without a trace.
"What is my uncle's plan for renovating Zheng Guoqu this time?"
Liu Ying bluntly changed the topic, and Lu Shizhi could see it, so he was only a little happy in his heart, so he continued the topic.
"It's a joke at home."
"Although the minister has received the grace of His Majesty, he thinks that he is a nobleman, but he does not know much about such important matters as water conservancy······
"In the past, when Your Majesty was still rich and abundant, the ministers only followed the imperial examination (1), and the Marquis of Wu was called by the Qin court to repair the countryside ditch."
"Although it is said to be 'repaired', it is only to use wooden piles to tamp the bottom and sides of the ditch, and clear the silt, dust and sand that block the flow."
As he spoke, Lu Shizhi couldn't help but shake his head and smile, with a slight look of reminiscence on his face.
"Back then, the one who took us to repair the countryside ditch was still Your Majesty'······"
Hearing Lu Shizhi's words talking about the old past with feelings, Liu Ying couldn't help but chuckle and nodded.
But seeing Lu Shizhi groaning slightly, he bowed to Liu Ying slightly.
"This time, the minister's family was trusted, thinking that he was the supervisor of Zheng Guoqu's renovation; However, when it comes to repairing canals, many ministers are ignorant of understanding. ”
"Please also ask the family to show you, what should be the outline of the minister's trip?"
Seeing that Lu Shizhi's expression was a little serious, Liu Ying thought for a moment in her heart, and then shook her head and smiled.
"My uncle is over half a hundred years old, and he witnessed the unification of the first emperor and the death of Qin II; Xiang Yu is also a big line, and his father is the emperor of the Han Dynasty. ”
"With such knowledge, my uncle is not familiar with the matter of repairing canals, and his nephew is only fourteen years old, so how do you know?"
After a little self-deprecation, Liu Ying turned her head with a relaxed face, and her expression was a little rigorous.
"The detailed case of the renovation of Zheng Guoqu this time may be from behind the scenes, with the intention of Shaofu Yang Gong and a craftsman who is proficient in hydraulic engineering."
"And my uncle's renovation of Zheng Guoqu ······"
"Hmmm······"
As she spoke, Liu Ying paused, pondered for a moment, and then raised her head slightly seriously.
"There are 60,000 servants in this Zheng Guoqu, 30,000 official slaves in the Shaofu Mansion and nearly 4,000 private slaves in the families of the Hundred Officials and Marquises."
"In addition, I am afraid that there should be no less than 30,000 people who have built canals from the past!"
"Young officials and slaves, prisoners who do not die for many crimes, have their own court captains and servants, and my uncle doesn't have to take care of it."
"Uncle should pay attention to the four thousand private slaves sent by the merit marquis and hundreds of officials, and tens of thousands of Guanzhong people who have built canals from the past······"
Speaking of this, Liu Ying couldn't help but straighten up slightly, and looked at the eunuch Chuntuo who followed him without a trace.
Receiving Liu Ying's eyes, Chun Tuo hurriedly bowed down, and after a while, the accompanying team quietly slowed down, allowing Liu Ying and Lu Shizhi's uncle and nephew to slowly move forward about twenty steps in front of the convoy.
When there was no one beside him, Liu Yingcai's face turned a little pale, and when he looked at Lu Shizhi, he was also a little worried.
"This time, my nephew begged for the private slaves of the family of the Meritorious Marquis Hundred Officials, although he had to serve four thousand, but these four thousand people were all private servants of the Meritorious Marquis Hundred Officials' families!"
"In the court of Chang'an, there are courtiers of 1,000 stones and 600 stones, who are poor and have no slaves, so they take money and grain to the two cities to pay for hard work."
"Therefore four thousand, though they are still to work, must not cause them to die of labor!"
"Especially the hundreds of people who have been hired to serve as forced laborers because of money and food, they must not be allowed to die this winter!"
"If not, when the father and the emperor's class teacher, as soon as it is known to those who have a heart at this time, they will use this to attack the nephew, the queen mother, and the uncle!"
"At that time, I was afraid that Xiao Xiang and Shaofu would not be able to ······ or exempt"
Looking at Liu Ying's suddenly solemn face, Lu Shizhi couldn't help but sink slightly, and then arched his hand with a serious face.
"I understand."
"If you go and build a canal, the minister will take this as the first priority, and you should not make the private slaves of the hundred officials and meritorious marquis die of overwork this winter!"
Seeing Lu Shizhi's solemn promise, Liu Ying couldn't help but nod his head slowly, and immediately turned to the side slightly, and raised his head slightly in the direction of the grain truck that was hanging nearly two miles behind the convoy and nearly ten miles in front and back.
"And the people who have built canals from the past should be mostly farmers, and their temperament is straightforward and pure, so they don't need to be too harsh."
"And those who have come from the past mostly live in Weibei and benefit from the people who renovated the Zhengguo Canal; If you build a canal for your own benefit, you must do it. ”
"Therefore, the people who have been building canals since the past, my uncle should do more warm words and encouragement, and then add tens of thousands of stones of rice and grain, and there should be no mistakes."
Speaking of this, Liu Ying groaned slightly, then with a slightly embarrassed smile, leaned his upper body obliquely, and moved closer to Lu Shizhi.
"This rice grain is tens of thousands of stones, it is this canal repair, and the nephew has to build the canal from the past The heart of the people is heavy, I am afraid that I will be in the hands of my uncle!"
"The other is the lotus spoon, and the nephew is afraid that he will give some rice grain in front of the people of Weibei."
"At that time, my uncle may be able to dissuade my nephew a little, saying that this rice grain is tens of thousands of stones, and it is not easy to come by ······"
Listening to Liu Ying's slightly embarrassing 'hint', Lu Shizhi's face froze slightly, and then revealed a slightly meaningful smile.
"Minister, the ······ command"
In his heart, Lu Shizhi secretly rejoiced because of Liu Ying's words.
- This kind of slightly dark insider, as the crown prince, Liu Yingneng said it without scruples, which is enough to show his trust in himself!
What's more important is that from Liu Ying's unseen words, Lu Shizhi also felt a little bit of 'the Lu family is not an outsider'.
This is enough for Lu Shizhi to do everything he can, and use all his resources to run for anything related to Liu Ying's vital interests······
After talking about the matter, Liu Ying thought for a moment, and her complexion gradually returned to before, and the rich son went out for spring.
Seeing this, Lu Shizhi couldn't help but be a little serious, and walked beside Liu Ying with a smile.
After only a moment, I saw Liu Yinghan smile and lower her head, and gently kicked her feet, obviously a few deep pits that had just appeared.
"Alas~"
"Sure enough, it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles."
"If the nephew walks more in the countryside and sees the suffering of life, he will not let the Shaofu carry stones and bricks on the straight road."
"That's it, and it takes a lot of effort to smooth hundreds of miles of straight roads······"
Listening to Liu Ying's self-talk of guilt, but his face was full of joy, and he didn't see the slightest guilt, Lu Shizhi smiled, and couldn't help but echo it: "In the future, if the family wants to leave the palace, the ministers should accompany them as ······ guards."
As for Liu Ying's 'accidentally breaking the straight', Lu Shizhi didn't hear it.
- A straight road was broken, can it be said that it was accidental, every road along the road from Chang'an to Zhengguo Canal was damaged, or is it said that it was accidental?
To transport stone bricks from Chang'an to Zhengguoqu, you can't just take one road, you have to go all the roads?
This kind of talk will also deceive those rural fools, and they can't deceive Lu Shizhi who has personally experienced the hegemony of the Warring States, Qin, Chu and Han, and the Han dynasty.
I saw Liu Ying chuckling and nodding, and was about to speak, when I saw that not far ahead, a team of people with bags and grain bags on their backs, slightly shabby clothes, and people composed of old, weak, and rotten people?
Seeing this, Lu Shizhi turned his head slightly, and as soon as he looked at Liu Ying, he saw Liu Ying speeding up his pace and trotting towards the group of people in front of him.
