"I didn't expect that ordinary people outside Chang'an City can now get on this bus!" Tang Ping sighed to the old farmer.

"Gong...... Car?" The old peasant asked suspiciously, "What did you mean by the noble man?"

"Woo car?" Tang Ping didn't react, and then he heard a whining sound in front of him.

When I looked out, I saw that there was a merchant walking a little too close to the middle, so the voice of the driver reminded him to give way.

There was no horn on the car, and the driver actually hung a lock on the top of his head, and the whining sound just now came from the musical instrument.

"Hahaha, yes, yes, it's not bad to call a woo car."

Tang Ping didn't think that he had to name this car a bus or something, since the people of Chang'an were willing to call it a woo car, and with such an image, it was up to them.

"Uncle thinks this is ...... Woo Woo car is expensive?" Tang Ping thought that anyway, it seems that there are not many people coming and going in this car, and it doesn't make much money to charge two copper plates for a car, if the people think it's expensive, it's better to forget it for free.

"It does feel a little expensive to use copper plates, but I paid coal when I got into the car." The old farmer pointed to a frame in front of him.

"Childe, look at that small box, it will also contain a pound of coal, as long as you pay a pound of coal, you can also take this car." The old farmer grinned: "My owner is kind, and he was afraid that we would freeze in winter, so he also sent us coal, and he sent us a lot of coal, and he didn't take it back if he couldn't use it up, so he said it was called ...... That's right, it's called our welfare. I usually use it to take the car or change things from people nearby."

Tang Ping didn't expect that in addition to himself, there were actually people who would get out all the employee benefits.

"I see that my uncle's clothes are different from usual? Isn't it also an employee benefit?"

This is also one of Tang Ping's doubts, now out of Shanghe Village, he found that most of the people were actually wearing clothes similar to t-shirts or sweatshirts.

If he hadn't determined that this was Datang, he would have thought that he had returned to a modern film and television city or something.

Because only in this kind of place will half the people wear ancient costumes, and half of the people wear modern costumes.

"Hahaha, what do you say?" The old farmer patted his dirty clothes and said, "That's right, this is also from the owner, anyway, I don't need money, and the owner of this clothes says it's called work clothes, and it's much more convenient to wear it to work." I've heard that most of the people who work in the workshop area wear clothes like this."

"No wonder that's the case, I just saw a lot of people with short haircuts like my uncle, and that's why I did, right?"

"That's right, this Chang'an person is much cleaner than our place, and he has to wash his hair and take a shower every now and then. I still use that to wash my hair......

"Soap?"

"Yes, yes, it's soap! It's a good thing, not only clean, but also fragrant." The old farmer nodded: "It's a little more expensive, so everyone thinks it's convenient to cut their hair short, and they can save a lot of soap for washing their hair."

Tang Ping didn't expect that in more than a year, even soap, which was originally considered a light luxury, had begun to reach the civilians of Chang'an.

If he hadn't come, let alone ten or twenty years, at least a place like Chang'an wouldn't have changed much in a year or two.

But I have been out for more than a year this time, and before I entered Chang'an City, I found a lot of huge changes.

"That uncle farms in Chang'an, can he earn enough?"

"Enough, enough!" The old peasant nodded: "The Tang Dynasty is benevolent and exempts all agricultural taxes, but it seems that many Chang'an locals still think that it is more profitable to work or do business in the workshop area, so the Tang Dynasty has issued a policy again, if anyone who is doing business can pay grain to the court, then they can reduce taxes."

"I've heard that it's much more cost-effective to use grain as a tax deduction than to pay copper money directly. Therefore, many merchants in Chang'an will not be barren if they have land at home, and they have invited people to plant it. Datang is not like us there, the court has a lot of food, just in the spring of this year, the Yangtze River has heard that there is a flood in a territory, hundreds of steam locomotives in the court pulled the grain and went, and then I heard that it was a hungry

There are no dead people."

The old farmer said with a smug face: "So, the youngest kid in my family is now studying in Chang'an, and the gentleman from the school said that students from other places, as long as their grades are excellent when they graduate, they will be issued with a Datang household registration." If the results are the best, hehe, that's the household registration of Chang'an!"

Tang Ping is also good at complimenting, and when he saw the old farmer's expression, he also smiled and said, "Seeing what the uncle said, the uncle's son wants to have good grades, right?"

"Well, that kid can't work, but reading is really competitive, and he told me a lot of things I just told you. Now he is the top in the first three subjects, and on the last day of the arithmetic exam, I will go into the city to pick him up, hehehe."

Seeing that this old farmer is so confident, he thinks that his son should be able to get a top advantage again, or he thinks that his son will also be from Chang'an in the future, and his waist is straighter.

Tang Ping only vaguely remembered that when his third uncle Li Yuanji came, he mentioned measures such as the introduction of talents, but he didn't expect that in this short period of time, Chang'an had already begun to implement it.

This is almost the same as the later generations, as long as you read well, you will be given a hukou in the capital or the magic capital, or it will not be attractive to some wealthy families and the like.

But for a common family like this old farmer, the temptation is too great.

In addition, when Tang Ping was in the past, Chang'an Academy had a lot of subsidies for poor students, so it can be said that the threshold has been lowered a lot compared to the original in terms of the road of studying. c

Or it can't see much effect for the time being, but as long as you wait for more than ten years, I'm afraid that all civilian students in the surrounding countries will regard Chang'an as a holy place for studying.

The two chatted about some things in Chang'an, but basically Tang Ping was asking, and the old farmer was answering.

Waiting for the car to arrive at the city gate, Tang Ping picked up Tang Tang, who was still looking at the outside of the car, and said goodbye to the old farmer, the old farmer still had to go into the city to pick up his son, and he could take a car, while Tang Ping planned to walk into the city and visit Chang'an City, which had not been here for a long time.

After getting out of the car, Tang Ping carried Tang Tang to the front of a step, and then put her down.

"Daddy, hug!" Tang Tang is unwilling, walking on his own little feet, where is his father comfortable to hold?

"Daddy, I'll hold you later!" Tang Ping squatted down and touched her head, then pointed to the top of the steps and said, "Does Tang Tang know where this is?"

Tang Tang looked up, then shook his head and said, "Not a few."

"Here, it's our Hero Monument in Chang'an."

"Heroic Eyebrow?" Tang Tang's age is naturally unknown, but looking at the huge statue on it, it is still shocking enough.

"Dad, are they amazing? Is it better than you?"

Tang Ping and Wang Qingluan left when she was still in infancy, and in her current memory, she could only see her father and mother in a small box, and Aunt Xiaoluo said that her father was the most powerful person in the world.

"Of course it's better than Dad." Tang Ping took Tang Tangrou's little hand, pointed to the statues on the Heroes Monument and said, "They, they have all protected your father, and they are even more powerful heroes than your father."

"And where have they gone now? Why are you motionless?"

Such a young child actually has no concept of size, so when they hide from the cat, they will even check to see if the adult is hiding in the small box.

Now Tang Tang can't tell the size of these statues and her father, but she can see that those statues have not moved.

"They are all in heaven now, and they continue to protect us."

After speaking, Tang Ping stood up: "Tang Tang and Dad learn, bow to them."

After speaking, he folded his hands and bowed slightly, Wang Qingluan and several guards who came out with the two of them all made the same action.

Tang Tang also bowed to the monument to the heroes in the same way.

"Boy, do what you say, your revenge, I have already avenged you all!" Looking up at the statue of a grinning young man on the top, Tang Ping said silently in his heart

said a word, and then squatted down and put Tang Tang on his shoulder.

"Ahh Tang Tang was taken aback by Tang Ping's sudden attack, and then laughed happily.

"Daddy, go there, go there!"

Tang Ping looked at it smoothly, Tang Tang actually did not refer to the inside of the city, but to a construction site outside the city that was repairing houses.

No matter how big Chang'an City is, it now has a population of more than one million. Most of the houses inside are bungalows, and it will naturally not fit in the future when more people pour in.

So later, Datang decided to build a house outside Chang'an, and instead of the original wooden structure, it used a brick-concrete structure.

When Tang Ping left, those brick factories were only built, and the production capacity was not enough, so the residential areas outside Chang'an had not been built much.

Looking back now, I actually have built a lot of buildings, and they are basically four-story buildings.

In fact, there were ministers who opposed this residential area at first, feeling that the people would lack protection outside the city without walls.

As a result, Li Shimin said directly: "The border of the Tang Dynasty is the city wall of our Tang Dynasty."

The implication is that no one can cross the border of the Tang Dynasty safely, and then the matter is settled.

"Digger, digger!" Tang Tang excitedly pointed to a working car on the construction site.

Of course, it is not the modern excavator with a hydraulic pump, but an original excavator of Datang, and the front is also a shovel, which is first inserted into the ground, and then lifted upwards, bringing up a lot of soil.

The steam engine used and the transmission device designed by Datang craftsmen are less powerful than excavators and more fuel-intensive.

But it's much faster than a human can do it.

Tang Ping also saw an acquaintance over there.

"Tang Tang, do you want to see the digging truck?"

"Well, look at the digger, look at the digger!" Tang Tang excitedly twisted his ass directly on Tang Ping's shoulder and pointed over there.

"Okay, then we'll go check it out."
