Liu Bowen left Yingtianfu, traveled all the way to the northeast, took a ferry to the mouth of the old river, and drove for two days before entering Yangzhou.

Along the way, he saw scenes that made him feel gratified, those who supported the ferry to fish, and those who returned late from hunting, and almost every person had a smile on his face.

This made Liu Bowen wonder if he was really wrong to blame Yang Xian. When this thought arises, he will inevitably ask someone to ask.

"Excuse me! This sister-in-law. Are the Yang prefects and little princes you are talking about, the two in Yangzhou City? Are they really as good as you say......"

Liu Bowen was dressed as a fortune teller walking the streets at this time.

He's famous, right.

But many times, people only know their names, but they don't know them.

And next to Liu Bowen are a few little daughters-in-law and old ladies who are squatting on the steps of the river embankment, washing clothes.

This is the north shore of Pu Shu Wan, and they are the village girls of a small farm nearby.

In addition to work, it is natural to talk about the east and west.

The daily transformation of Yangzhou City is the hottest topic recently.

Even, from the words of the women, Liu Bowen also learned......

The people of the three small farms near Pushuwan also returned to their hometowns one after another more than ten days ago.

The older elder sister responded to Liu Bowen with a smile: "Yes, of course!" Still. As for the prefect Lord Yang, it's a bit unsatisfactory......"

"Hah! That's right. These two are really working hard for Yangzhou! But Lord Yang. I've never seen him like this, who can faint five or six times when working in the fields! ”

The third woman also smiled and said, "It's the little prince!" It's amazing. He is only fifteen years old, and he works fast and well in the fields, and he compares all the guys in his twenties......"

"Yes, yes, yes! People are good-looking, and they have a lot of ideas. Huh! You've heard of it. The little prince has been pounding the soil lumps in Balipu for the past two days, and it is said that he wants to burn some red bricks, so that he can build a house faster? ”

The other women were even more gossipy, Liu Bowen was puzzled, silently gave a scholar's salute, and then turned around and left.

But he didn't take a few steps before he heard an old lady behind him stand up and shout, "Hey! Mr. Are you going into the city? If you want to enter the city and meet Lord Yang, you have to take a good look at each other for him......"

"Oh! Why is that? Liu Bowen stopped, but did not look back.

"Everyone is wondering, is our Lord Yang a lady in his last life? This cannot be carried on the shoulders or carried in the hands. ”

Liu Bowen was stunned, and had no choice but to laugh bitterly a few times before taking another step.

He had a doubt in his heart, what kind of brick was the red brick that the little prince was going to burn in the mouths of these women?

He also said that it would be faster to build a house......

Isn't it all wood, stone, and bricks used to build this house?

What exactly is the nature of red bricks?

Where did it come from?

Before Liu Bowen met Zhu Yan, he never thought that the red brick was made up by this young man.

However, in order to answer these doubts, he was going to take a long detour, not to enter Yangzhou City first, but to go to Balipu to have a look.

Liu Bowen was a little worried, Zhu Yan, the king of Xiao Wu, sent the letter to the emperor, but before he could reply, he had already begun to divide the boundary and rule, and he was going to cut it first and then play.

As he went, he quickened his pace at times, and when he was hungry and thirsty, he ate his dry food in the river.

About an hour later, he crossed a wooden bridge next to Sanlidun and Sunjiaji, and Balipu was in sight.

Obviously, it was not time to eat, but there were several places where thick smoke billowed through the sky, and a slightly choking smell spread.

There was also the creaking of shovels shoveling things, or the creaking of wood-wheeled carts crushing against dirt roads, and occasionally people shouting.

"Brothers! Shifts. Push these dozen carts back to the kiln, and we can rest......"

"Yes, yes! You can also quench your cravings with teppanyaki fish on the whole day, and I drool at this thought. ”

"So I'm going fishing? Huh. Brothers! You say, our prince is so smart at first glance? ”

"Hum hum! That's right. Suddenly you can make this red brick and teppanyaki......"

With a few loud discussions, Liu Bowen subconsciously stopped, only to see more than a dozen rugged soldiers with shirtless carts coming from the right side of the road.

On each of the twelve wooden carts, there are three large bamboo baskets, which are wrapped in a layer of hemp bags, and the wet soil is obviously sticky and swaying in the sacks.

Liu Bowen found that it was precisely because of this that these soldiers did not splash the slightest mud on the way to transport the wet soil.

The soldiers also saw this dusty man, and at first glance it seemed that he had seen a fortune teller somewhere.

They all stopped laughing with each other, grinned, and nodded enthusiastically at Liu Bowen.

The team leader stepped forward a few steps forward and asked cordially with his fists: "Where is Mr. from?" If you are looking for relatives and friends, you are willing to follow the work of dogs and horses! ”

When Liu Bowen heard this, he suddenly realized in his heart, and couldn't help but praise secretly, it seems that in order to recall the exiled people, Yang Xian and Xiao Wu Wang have indeed done a very careful job......

The women before were, and so did the soldiers.

When you see a stranger like me, you will take the initiative to ask ......

Are you going into the city? Or are you looking for relatives and friends?

Liu Bowen stroked his beard and groaned slightly, and was about to talk. Unfortunately, a series of soft horses' hooves suddenly sounded behind him.

Liu Bowen was about to turn back, but when he saw the leader raise his eyes, he arched his hand at the centaur and shouted: "Lord Wang! ”

"Sir! I'm sorry. The leader of the team immediately told him to spare him. It was the prince himself who led the patrol ......"

"We have to quit and get to the job at hand. Rest assured! If there is any situation, you can also tell our prince! Others are good. ”

Without waiting for Liu Bowen to respond, the team leader saluted again, then quickly returned to the front of the team, waved his arms and greeted his colleagues: "Brothers! Returned ......"

"Roar! Returned. ”

"Farewell! Mr. ”

"Hey, hey! See you soon......"

Before Zhu Yan's patrol approached, the group of fortifiers restarted and headed towards the dirt road in the lower left.

Liu Bowen has a new experience at this time.

This treats the people kindly, knows the rules, and knows how to advance and retreat......

Hiss? His Majesty, King Xiao Wu, is so powerful!

Also, How is this teppanyaki fish cooked?

Liu Bowen couldn't think deeply, so he hurriedly covered his face with his sleeves and dodged sideways.

He knew that he couldn't hide this behavior from King Xiao Wu......

What he avoided was not Zhu Yan's gaze, but the dust......

With the stirring up of sand and dust along the way, Zhu Yan rode a horse and led the six horsemen to Liu Bowen.

But Liu Bowen only felt that he had taken a deep look at him, so he immediately led the team to chase after the group of fortifications.

With a light "huh", Liu Bowen was very confused, and he was relieved that he was not instantly knocked into the line.

But Zhu Yan turned his horse's head sharply and galloped back, and he had to quickly bow down: "The minister has seen His Royal Highness King Xiao Wu......"

However.

Before the words fell, Liu Bowen felt that the whole person was spinning, and he was actually grabbed by Zhu Yan by the collar and pulled up.

In the blink of an eye, he realized that he had landed on the back of the horse in front of Zhu Yan.

"Wow whoa......"

Liu Bowen was so frightened on the spot that he had to desperately reach out and grab things to maintain the balance of his body.

"Hah! See if it scares you to death......"

"You old gentleman, what do you want to come to this king quietly?"
