Xu Yue and his entourage bypassed the section of the road that was being repaired, and the ox cart drove back to the main road, and the road on this side was all cement roads that had been dried and hardened.

This road is straight, wide enough to accommodate two carriages in parallel, more than 1,000 meters long, straight to the gate of Yixian County.

The sun was already in the west, and it was dark early in spring, Xu Yue and his party thought about it, and decided to meet with the Taoist friends in Yi County to understand the situation and make further plans.

Because it was the only way for merchants from the south to enter and exit the territory of the Xujia Army, Yi County, which used to have only more than 2,000 people, has now become lively.

In addition, Gongsun Zhan and these people are now imitating Xu Jiajun to engage in infrastructure construction, and there are people inside and outside the city.

However, this kind of liveliness is not the same as the liveliness on the territory of the Xu family.

The people of Youzhou are full of energy, and they are active in their work, no matter how hard and tired they are, their faces are still full of smiles.

The people here in Keyi County are completely different, they are not at all happy because the city has become lively, but sigh and have a bitter face.

The economic prosperity of the county does not seem to be able to bring dividends to the people at the bottom here, who are still ragged and skinny, dogs in their arms, dragging heavy wheelbarrows laden with sand and gravel, walking barefoot on the road, struggling to move forward.

Listening to the businessmen in the past, at the end of last year, the Northern Emperor issued a holy decree, and Jizhou and Bingzhou began to levy labor, build bridges and pave roads, and open mountains and quarry.

Threatens to build a better home for the people.

It's just that this slogan is so ridiculous in the ears of the people who have been forcibly conscripted!

You want the horses to run, but you don't give them grazing.

Xu Da said that when he was still the second generation of the powerful and capitalized cultivator, he didn't dare to do this!

Gongsun Chan and the Northern Emperor will be finished sooner or later!

"When I saw this cement road just now, I was shocked in my heart, thinking, can those two people in the palace of Bingzhou still have this level of consciousness?"

"Now it seems that I really thought too much." Xu Da hugged his two precious grandchildren, muttering and muttering full of ridicule.

Xu Dongbei and Xu Pingyuan didn't care what their grandfather was muttering, the two little guys stretched out their palms and asked the adults to honor the reward they had just promised.

Xu Da had no choice but to give the brothers and sisters, a candy for each of them, and gave a reciprocal advice: "Shh~, let's be quiet, can't we tell A-Niang when we turn back?" ”

The twins' eyes were bright, their eyes were full of candy, they didn't hear their grandfather's words clearly, they only nodded subconsciously, and they couldn't wait to peel off the oil paper on the candy and put the small sugar grains in their mouths.

The brother and sister were so beautiful that they looked at each other and smiled so much that their eyes were gone.

Xu Yue and Xu Dalang looked at the satisfied little appearance of the twins on the ox cart behind, and their eyes were extremely gentle.

Ox carts drove into Yi County, where there was no rule that livestock were no longer allowed to walk in the inner city, and the streets were naturally not as clean as those in Youzhou County.

Entering Yi County gave Xu Yue's family the illusion of returning to Youzhou County through space.

The cement main street, which can accommodate two horse-drawn carriages in parallel, is lined with shops, and you can see an inn every few tens of meters.

There are a lot of businessmen living in Yixian County, most of them carrying goods, and their carriages and horses are parked on the side of the street, causing traffic congestion.

The troupe's ox cart slowly followed the caravan carriage in front, and it took half an hour to find a large restaurant with vacant rooms, set up half of the courtyard, and slipped through the large shops, and slept separately for men and women.

The condition of the restaurant is not particularly good, but it is better to be clean, according to the bed charge, Chase shop only charges ten dollars for a bed cover roll, and provides free hot water.

By the time Xu Yue and his party settled down, it was already dark, and the street, which had been bustling just now, quickly became quiet because it was almost curfew time.

Wen Qing ordered a table of meals in the lobby of the restaurant, and the big guys had dinner together in the hall.

When traveling, you can't save food and accommodation, Xu Yue also has a lot of budget, and everyone has soup and meat for dinner, and they eat well.

However, there are not many people who are so willing to eat, and most of the other caravans in the restaurant eat multigrain cakes, and the meat is basically their own bacon or cured meat.

Therefore, the shopkeeper of the restaurant paid extra attention to the troupe.

Xu Yue wanted to feed the two little guys in Xu Dongbei, but they ate a little slowly, and Wen Qing and the others had already eaten enough to pack their luggage.

On the large table made up of two tables, only Xu Da and Xu Dalang were left waiting for Xu Yue.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant came over, sat down on the vacant seat by himself, and asked Xu Yue with a smile:

"Is this an apprentice or your child?"

Xu Yue looked up at the shopkeeper of the restaurant, a woman in her thirties, wearing a bright red narrow sleeve placket and a pair of indigo trousers, which was very simple.

This form has only become popular in recent years, and the female students in Xu's army like to wear button-down cardigans and trousers.

The merchants who had been to Youzhou felt that such clothes were shorter and better looking than the peasants, and cheaper than the skirts, which was very suitable for women of the peasant, merchant, and craftsman classes, so they tried to bring out a few sets, but the result was out of control.

The women were ingenious, drew inferences from one another, and made some small changes that were more suitable for themselves in the original student clothes, and finally evolved into the clothes of the female shopkeeper of the restaurant.

A medium-length top covers the shameful area, and the lower body is full of trousers, which looks good and makes it easy to work.

The female shopkeeper's red mid-length jacket has been cinched to highlight the slender waist of the female shopkeeper and looks graceful.

Xu Yue smiled at her, and explained according to the words made up at the beginning: "These two are my apprentices, and they are also my nephews, last year was not very easy, my brother-in-law went out to look for a life and has not been able to come back until now, in this world, eighty percent of them died outside......

The female shopkeeper is a very compassionate person, hearing Xu Yue's words, she glanced at Xu Dongbei and Xu Pingyuan, who were only caring about the rice, "Poor doll, fortunately there is still your aunt." ”

Xu Da took a sip of the water cup and held back a smile.

The female shopkeeper glanced at him suspiciously, the man had a neat haircut, but unfortunately a good face was blocked by this beautiful hair, and he could only see him squinting his eyes, as lazy as a cat.

The female shopkeeper asked with a smile: "Deputy class master, how long will the troupe stay in the county?" If it's a long day, I can give you less room rate. ”

Xu Da put down the water glass and looked at her lightly, "There is no free lunch in the world, you are a shrewd person at first glance, how can you give us less room fees for no reason?" ”

The female shopkeeper smiled, "I won't tell you, I really have an idea to discuss with the class master, it's not hard to say that there are too many people just now, now the guests are resting, the hall is quiet, we can just talk." ”

Xu Yue and Xu Dalang glanced at each other, wiped the well-fed twins clean, hugged one by one, and looked at the female shopkeeper with Daddy, waiting for her to continue.
