The road to the boundary of Youzhou is quite easy to walk.

There were six carriages, plus Zhao Chongyuan's own carriage.

A total of seven horse-drawn carriages traveled quickly on the bluestone pavement.

There were no bumps along the way.

The villages along the route are also lined with neatly built wooden houses.

Looking at the style and structure of the house layout, it seems that it has been renovated and planned by the government.

Every household has cattle and sheep.

Although the people are still working in the fields, everyone has a smile on their faces.

Look at this scene.

Zhao Chongyuan also had a lot less resentment against Zhao Ding in his heart.

At least although his son cheated him, he was good for the local people.

Not only are the people in Youzhou City rich, but even the people in the junction area of Youzhou and Yanzhou are living well.

It can be seen that Zhao Ding has really worked local governance.

Actually, think about it.

Zhao Ding didn't cheat him much, but it was he, the old man, who cheated Zhao Ding for 500,000 taels of silver.

I thought that I was using Li Long's pseudonym.

Zhao Chongyuan suddenly felt a little proud in his heart.

Fighting with Lao Tzu?

You're still a little tender.

"Lux, go back and allocate 200,000 taels of silver from my inner treasury, and you will send someone to deliver it when the time comes."

Zhao Chongyuan commanded Wang Lishi on the side.

"Your Majesty."

Wang Lishi nodded and snorted.

Zhao Chongyuan still can't do anything about Zhao Ding's son after all.

As for why it's 200,000 taels.

Naturally, these truckloads of goods are worth 200,000 taels to survive.

He Zhao Chongyuan's eyes were so vicious, and after carefully recalling it, he naturally saw at a glance that Zhao Ding had done something wrong with the price.

Therefore, giving 200,000 taels is also what he Zhao Chongyuan, a father, should do.

Of course, another reason is that he Zhao Chongyuan's inner library really doesn't have much silver.....

The Great Dry fought every year, coupled with the drawbacks left over from the previous dynasty.

In recent years, the treasury has been empty, and Zhao Chongyuan has used the silver from his own treasury to supplement the treasury.

After so many years, there is naturally not much silver.

Right now.

Bang!

There was a sudden jolt in the carriage.

Caught off guard, Zhao Chongyuan almost threw out.

Fortunately, he was supported by Wang Lishi.

"Your Majesty."

Wang Lishi hurriedly shouted.

Zhao Chongyuan frowned slightly, lifted the car, glanced outside the carriage, looked at the second child who was driving the car, and asked, "Is this out of the boundary of Youzhou?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will reach Qishui in another thirty miles, and we will be able to return to Beijing by boat."

The second baby responded respectfully.

Listening to the words of the second baby.

Zhao Chongyuan nodded slightly.

In my heart, I don't know why I miss the days in Youzhou.

The wide roads, the neat streets, the rows of uniformly built villages.

And now that he has gone out of Youzhou to the boundary of Yanzhou, it seems that he has been pulled from the dream to reality.

However, before Zhao Chongyuan sighed for a while.

The vehicle suddenly stopped again.

"Why did it stop?"

Zhao Chongyuan frowned slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but look outside the carriage.

Rough dirt roads.

Rows of famous figures crowded the dirt road ahead.

Ragged clothes, yellow face and thin muscles.

In the convoy, except for the second child and a few guards who had to stay, the rest of the guards had jumped out of the carriage and began to drive away the remaining people.

"This is the normal state of my work."

Zhao Chongyuan smiled bitterly, his eyes full of sighs.

The Great Cadre has been a country for 200 years.

It is the longest dynasty among the surrounding nations except for Dayu and Dali, and its age is far above that of Southern Chen and Northern Liang.

However, in the two hundred years since the founding of the country, the great cadres have cultivated a group of incomparably huge bureaucratic systems and family gates.

These people are the bloodsuckers lying on the crumbling old tree of Daqian.

In addition, the former government officials were corrupt.

It was he, Zhao Chongyuan, who had the intention to reform, but he had little effect.

He has seen too many things that are contrary to yang and yin.

"As long as Your Majesty is here, everything will be fine."

Wang Lishi comforted on the side.

"Huh, will it be good?"

Zhao Chongyuan laughed at himself and shook his head helplessly.

If it was good, he wouldn't have to fight those ministers for twenty years.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the ranks of displaced people in front of them.

Zhao Chongyuan looked fixedly.

I don't know when, the black-hearted guide has already jumped out of the carriage.

A cauldron was caught in the crowd.

It was bubbling hot.

There were also several accompanying men who kept taking out a large bag of bags, steamed buns, wowotou and other hungry things from the carriage and piling them on the ground.

The black-hearted tour guide waved a big iron spoon to boil the rice porridge in the pot, and shouted: "Those who have bowls prepare their own bowls, and those who don't have bowls come here to receive them, one bowl per person, plus two nest heads and a sac, and go to Youzhou when you have the strength, Your Royal Highness King Yan welcomes you at any time, and you don't dare to say anything else when you arrive in Youzhou, the rice tube is full." ”

The black-hearted tour guide shouted while personally scooping rice porridge from the cauldron for those who swarmed in.

The already chaotic scene suddenly became even more chaotic.

One by one, the refugees went crazy and squeezed towards the black-hearted guide.

The black-hearted tour guide seems to have expected this scene for a long time.

The burly men beside him took out iron maces directly from the car.

Bang!

Knock on the ground.

"Some of the honest queues eat, and those who want to make trouble can also come over."

The black-hearted guide looked at the crowd with a gloomy face.

It was accompanied by a few shouts.

The originally chaotic crowd suddenly became honest.

"Send someone over and help."

Although Zhao Chongyuan was a little surprised when he saw this scene, he quickly commanded Wang Lishi.

As Wang Lishi joined with the palace guards who were originally driving away the crowd, the chaotic scene suddenly became a lot more orderly.

It was busy until the end of the evening.

All the homeless people have a bite to eat.

With the bag and the head of the nest, he walked towards Youzhou in the direction known to the black-hearted guide.

Seeing that the black-hearted tour guide stopped, Zhao Chongyuan stepped forward and asked curiously: "Everyone in the world thinks that the homeless people are fiercer than the tiger and dare not save the famine, why do you Youzhou let these homeless people go to Youzhou?" Aren't you afraid of causing trouble in Youzhou? ”

"What are you afraid of, our Royal Highness King Yan has been tinkering with some factories recently, and there is a shortage of manpower, these people went to Youzhou, just to help, and His Royal Highness King Yan said that population is the primary productive force, and there is no shortage of food for someone there, and it is useless for everyone to do anything."

The black-hearted tour guide grinned, and after speaking, he laughed at himself: "Actually, I am not satisfied with a few, I was also a homeless person at the beginning, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness King Yan to give me a bite to eat, I might have starved to death in Youzhou City." ”

Listen to the words of the black-hearted tour guide.

At this moment, Zhao Chongyuan suddenly became a little silent.

Yes, the population is the primary productive force, some people have everything, and no one has nothing.

It's a pity that some people are not human!
