It can be said that the changes in Pu County every day are clearly recorded.

At the beginning of spring this year, the people of Puxian County had a bumper harvest and directly got rid of poverty, and they could completely fill their granaries.

and Pu County this spring,

There is a new prefectural ordinance coming down, and it is said that this prefectural ordinance is only in his twenties, which is the time of his prime.

With full of enthusiasm, as soon as he lived in Pu County, he worked hard.

Cement roads, sewers, irrigation systems, encouraging trade, opening of primary schools, planning of secondary schools....

Various policies have been implemented.

In particular, we firmly grasped the close connection between Puxian and Datang, and tried to build Puxian into a commercial transit station.

It's only been a few months?

Success.

The people of Puxian County have a new spiritual outlook.

Boom up.

Li Shimin looked at these records, and his heart really seemed to be blocked by something.

Such vitality, such momentum, to be honest, let alone the same county, even Chang'an can't compare!

It's not,

He stood on the city wall, just to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

"Those records, written in the dossier, may seem extremely glaring, but....everything will have to wait until we enter Puxian."

"When the time comes, we will be able to see it thoroughly."

Empress Eldest Sun said softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Don't be melancholy."

Fang Xuanling also agreed.

but

They really can only say some comforting words now, and they don't know what to say anything else.

Li Shimin nodded.

Nothing was said all night.

Early in the morning, Li Shimin rushed to Puxian with them.

.

…….….….….….

Pu County.

When Li Shimin and the others arrived, the sun had just turned to the southeast, and there was still some time before noon.

Li Shimin didn't sit in the carriage, he just sat in the place where he was rushing the car, side by side with Li Junxian.

Pei Lian, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui in the back also stretched out their heads, directly rolled up the car curtains, and kept looking around.

Empress Changsun's carriage was in the back.

Facing the wind of early summer, looking at the large fields, looking at the people on the passing road.

Suddenly, he realized,

The difference between the people of Datang and Dayan can be seen almost at a glance.

There was always a smile on the faces of the people of Great Yan.

Walk up and straight.

And when he started to do things, he was calm and unhurried, and he didn't have any obscenity, and he was generous.

Children are even more alive.

Bouncing, white and chubby.

On the other hand, what about the people of the Tang Dynasty?

To tell the truth, the people of Datang who can come to Puxian County are relatively wealthy, and the ordinary people of Datang don't talk about Datang, even if they go out of the city several times a year?

But even so, these people of the Tang Dynasty are no better than the people of Dayan.

They do business, talk about business with the people of Dayan, and always flatter, smiling obscenely.

The spiritual head is definitely not as good as the people of Dayan.

There is a little timidity on his body.

Just now

Li Shimin also wanted to confirm his guess, so Li Junxian stopped the carriage and asked a few people personally.

Really!

It's not bad!

"Your Majesty, our people in the Tang Dynasty are all pure and virtuous people, maybe it is the first time to go out of the Tang Dynasty, and we don't know much about Dayan, so we are quite restrained."

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the people of Dayan are in their own country, so they naturally show the posture of the master in all aspects."

"It's not our Datang to blame, it's all because of geographical factors."

Pei Lin agreed.

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Then think about it, even if the people of Chang'an are not as good as the people of Puxian? This already says a little bit about it. ”

"Dayan, maybe it's developing faster than we know!"

Li Shimin shook his head.

The carriage entered the city.

All of a sudden, it became even more lively.

On both sides of the avenue, all kinds of shops have opened, what bookstores, what salt shops, all kinds of grocery stores, and even some toothpaste and toothbrush shops....

Various.

Even the names of many shops, they can't understand.

On the side of the road, there are also many people setting up small stalls.

Coming and going, incomparably prosperous.

And

Crowded, to be honest, if Li Shimin didn't know that he had suffered a disaster last year, he really couldn't believe that there had been a disaster here!!

Li Shimin's eyes were long.

"Look, when we passed through Puxian last year, how many people were there?"

Li Shimin asked.

Fang Xuanling pursed her somewhat chapped lips and scratched her head.

"Your Majesty....I remember that both sides of the road are cold and cold."

"Almost 80% of the shops are closed, and there are no small traders and vendors on the streets, and there are no children playing."

Cheng Yanjin said slowly.

He looked at the prosperous Pu County, and his eyes were full of horror.

This place in Puxian County, he has walked twice before.

The first time was when I went to Dayan Yanyun City to fight, at that time, Qingzhou was still in the Tang Dynasty, and the people of Dayan showed signs of fleeing north for the first time.

The second time, it was the previous year.

Then

With the passage of time, many people in Puxian County have run to Dayan.

And then

The locust plague came, the Turks invaded, and Puxian became a great fire.

Last year,

In Puxian County during the locust plague, according to the report, the people ran out.

But....

It's only been a year of development and recovery, and Puxian County is even more prosperous than three or four years ago!

Pei Lin and Fang Xuanling swallowed their saliva, and watched quietly without speaking.

What Cheng Yanjin said is the truth.

There is no room for them to quibble.

Let me ask, what is there to quibble about this?

Puxian County, indeed, is in the hands of elephant inflammation, radiating great vitality.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and slowly bowed his head.

His face was gloomy, and he looked at the people on the left and right, his eyes were complicated.

these

Before, they were all the people of Datang, but now......it's not Datang!

Lose them yourself....but ...this is not something that makes Li Shimin sad.

The sad thing about him is that if he loses it, he will just lose it, but after he loses it, the living standards of the people in Puxian County have risen sharply, and the prosperity of the county seat of Puxian County has also risen in a straight line.

This made him feel uncomfortable.

It's very uncomfortable, it's very uncomfortable!!

What does this mean?

It shows that Datang is very bad, and he is also very bad.

After all

Qingzhou is still the same Qingzhou, and Pu County is still the same Pu County, the place has not changed, but the people who manage it have changed.

And then on ....

Li Shimin was silent.

Fang Xuanling, Pei Lian, and Du Ruhui didn't dare to say anything, looking at Li Shimin's appearance, they could all guess in their hearts, what Li Shimin was thinking at the moment.

Truly!

This shows that I am still too rubbish!

They all sighed in their hearts.

After a while,

Fang Xuanling opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, do we......want to stay here?" ”

"Or do you want to go straight to Taiyuan?"

Li Shimin took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and then said a little weakly: "Don't stop." ”

"I, I don't have the face to face the people of Puxian! Before, it was I who delayed them, and it was also the court that delayed them. ”

"Let's go, go to Taiyuan, go directly to Taiyuan!"

Li Shimin closed his eyes in some pain.

Damn!

As soon as he entered Dayan, Li Shimin felt that he was seriously injured.

The poor and fragile heart is about to break.

Regarding Li Shimin's order, everyone naturally did not dare to have any doubts.

Besides, they want to leave Puxian as soon as possible.

Not to mention that Li Shimin felt heartache, but they all felt that their old faces were a little unbearable.

Puxian!

It can be said that he slapped the face of the Tang Dynasty court hard.

Knowing that His Majesty did not want to stay here any longer, they raised the whip in their hands and slapped it on the horse's buttocks.

Speed, sped up.

The journey was rapid, and when it was noon, the speed of the three carriages slowed down.

No way.

Even if you're in a hurry, you can't let your stomach go hungry, right?

They are not here to flee the famine.

And it just so happened that there was a restaurant on the edge of the official road in front.

Today's meal, naturally, is solved here.

After all, I didn't eat much in the morning, and at this time, my stomach was already hungry.

This restaurant is not big.

But business is good, this will be officially noon, passing merchants and travelers, who are not in a hurry, will stop here, rest, eat something.

The smell of fragrant fragrance in the back kitchen is also straight to the nostrils, which is extremely attractive.

Li Shimin walked in with everyone, rubbed his stomach, and sat directly at a large table.

Immediately

Li Junxian called Xiao Er and called for good dishes.

Empress Eldest Sun was sitting on Li Shimin's side, her face was a little not good.

Drinking water all the time.

"Guanyin, are you okay? This road is tossed, and it will take a few days to reach Dayan. ”

"If you can't hold on, go back to Chang'an as soon as possible."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

As soon as his words fell, Empress Eldest Sun shook her head directly: "It's okay, shopkeeper, it's just that we haven't been out for a long time, and we don't fit for a while." ”

"It is estimated that it will be fine after a while, I think back then, we also came in the wind and rain."

Empress Changsun directly refused.

The shopkeeper is the name they call when they walk outside, after all, they can't be called Your Majesty directly.

And that's exactly what happened.

Back then, even her eldest grandson, Queen Grand, was deeply troubled, and the toss at that time was much more difficult than now.

Compared with

It's a bumpy ride, but it's over.

"Your Majesty, let's walk at this rate for another five or six days, and we should almost arrive in Taiyuan City."

"When we arrive in Taiyuan City, we will pass Yanchi Road, and when the time comes, we can take Yanchi Road to the north."

Fang Xuanling said.

Yan Chi Road!

When everyone heard the name, their eyes lit up.

It's a name they're all too familiar with.

In the Great Yan Weekly, it is really rare to see scenes describing Yan Chi Dao, but they have never seen it before.

"If you can sit on Yan Chi Road, you naturally have to sit on Yan Chi Road."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes.

"Yan Chi Dao, I really don't know what it looks like, like a long dragon? Cruising the worlds? I can't imagine it, I guess....I can only see it with my own eyes to really appreciate it. ”

Li Shimin sighed.

"Yes, during this time, I have only heard about it, and it is only a few days away from Taiyuan to Yanyun City from Taiyuan."

"But if you take a carriage, it will take at least a month, even if you ride a horse for more than ten days, this is still a day and night journey, if you take a normal rest on the way, then the speed is much slower."

"But Yan Chi said, it's a few days away, this....this speed, unheard of, if you don't experience it yourself, I'm afraid I can't think of what is going on."

Pei Lin also sighed.

There was hope in everyone's eyes.

Truly!

For Yan Chidao, they are really too curious.

"Hehe, brothers, are you from the south?"

"Listening to your words, it looks like it's the first time I've come to Dayan!"

At this time,

On the table next to him, an old man drank tea and said with a smile.

The old man has dark skin, and there are a few sturdy young men sitting next to him, who are veterans of the rivers and lakes at first glance.

Pei Lin immediately arched his hand and said with a smile: "It's not the first time I've come to Dayan, but old man, the last time we went to Yanyun City was a year ago." ”

"At that time, the Yanchi Road from Liaodong City to Yanyun City had not yet been paved, and naturally, I didn't see this kind of car."

Pei Lin hurriedly explained.

This trip is not only to see, but also to talk more with the people of Dayan, take a look, and observe Dayan in a multi-faceted three-dimensional immersion.

Sometimes, how a country is in the end, you can't look at what is above, you have to look at what is below.

And undoubtedly,

These Jianghu people who run to the north are the best people to explore the truth.

"I see!"

The old man suddenly realized: "But brother, if you don't go this year, it's actually not much different from going to Dayan for the first time." ”

"Da Yan's side, what should I say, um.... The speed of development is too fast, so fast that even I, a businessman who goes to Yanyun City every once in a while, is a little confused. ”

"Hahaha, this time brother has to take a good look, take a good look, Da Yan has to say, it's really powerful!"

The old man said, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"The speed of the Great Yan is the same as that Yan Chi Dao, grandma's, if you don't go for a few days, you will be unfamiliar."

The old man smiled.

"Is my uncle going to Yanyun City?" Pei Lin nodded and smiled again.

"Yes!" The old man nodded: "Let's do some business between Yanyun City and Datang, to put it mildly, it's just to be a bad master, eat with a mouth, and don't compare to you, brother." ”

"Look at the brothers, they are not ordinary people when they are dressed, this time I went to Yanyun City, I am afraid that it is....There is a big business to do, right?"

The old man is extremely hearty.

"It's harm....what kind of big business is just a mess."

"No, there have been fewer things in the south recently, so I want to come to Dayan to have a look, take a look, look for business, talk about business, and then I want to go to the grassland."

Pei Lin waved his hand and said easily.

"It's time to go! Now the grassland in July and August, lukewarm, look at the sea of grass, taste the roast whole sheep, drink mare's milk, beautiful! ”

"By the way, brother, if you want to take Yanyun City, you don't need to go to Taiyuan, Qingzhou Mansion in front of you has been opened to traffic."

"And, a little further on, it's all concrete highways."

"Then walk, bring it up! When the time comes. It won't be bumpy anymore. ”

"In such a normal hurry, we will be able to reach the border about tomorrow morning, and then we will be able to reach Yanyun City in a few days."
