After a while, Qingzhou City arrived.

The gates were still open.

The city is bustling with activity.

It seems like it's still early.

"This speed is really unexpected, I thought I was going to sleep on the streets tonight."

"Okay, let's go on the road for a day, let's rest early, and wait until tomorrow, let's go and see what Yanchi Road looks like."

found an inn, everyone got out of the car, Li Shimin yawned and said.

Everyone bowed their heads.

truly

On this day, they were really on the road, not to mention that there was an extremely thrilling drag racing battle in the afternoon, whether it was mental or physical, they needed to rest.

After a brief meal, everyone went back to their rooms and fell asleep.

….….….….….….

Yanyun City.

The moon stars are scarce, and the soft moonlight is extremely gentle in this silent night, and it also wraps the entire Yanyun Palace, as if a layer of silver light has been sprinkled on it.

Li Kuan was sitting under the steps of the dormitory, sitting in a rocking chair, while Princess Changle was eating melons and fruits next to her.

Chen Qingzhi stood on the side, reporting.

"Your Majesty, this time Li Shimin not only brought Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yanjin, the most accustomed military generals, but also took the eldest grandson queen, and traveled to Qingzhou City today."

"They're having fun today.....it's fun, um, yes, it's fun."

"They experienced the prosperity of Pu County, as well as the charm of the highway, and in addition, they also put their horses on horseshoes."

Chen Qingzhi said slowly.

"This....this time, even the queen mother and father are here."

Princess Changle was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "Second brother, what do you think....what do you think?" ”

She knew that the king of Chu was always thinking about revenge.

She was very worried, this time the King of Chu directly caught her father, and even....captured and killed!

however

To the surprise of Princess Changle, Li Kuan just smiled lightly: "It's not slow, don't worry about them, just keep an eye on them, they can run wherever they want." ”

"Changle, when they arrive in Yanyun City, I'll take you to see them, how about it?"

The corners of Li Kuan's mouth turned up slightly.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile.

This....

What the hell does the second brother think.

And take her to see her father and queen mother?

Princess Changle was stunned.

couldn't help it, and looked directly at King Chu's indifferent eyes.

I really want to see something in it, but all I can see is calm.

She was still the same as always, unable to see through the man in front of her.

Even if....following him for more than two years, this is true.

This man is really....amazing, and too mysterious.

"Second brother, I want to see my father and queen mother, but I don't know, is it convenient for you?"

Princess Changle asked.

Li Kuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled lightly: "What's inconvenient, it's not to call them to the palace." ”

"It's been three years, and I don't know what my father will be like compared to three years ago."

The voice fell.

Somehow, Princess Changle saw a little danger in Li Kuan's eyes.

Her heart tightened, and she began to constantly understand what King Chu meant.

If you don't call to the palace, that is, the second brother wants to pay a private visit?

This....

Princess Changle took a deep breath, her heart was shocked, and she kept forcing herself to calm down.

She, understood.

Second brother, I'm going to meet my father directly!

.

….….….…….….

Next.

Qingzhou City.

The sun is shining, the sky is high and the clouds are wide.

On the streets, every shop has been opened, and people come and go, and they all start their work for the day.

Li Shimin woke up.

When he came down,

Empress Eldest Sun, Fang Xuanling and others are already together.

I was eating breakfast.

Seeing Li Shimin, everyone immediately got up.

"Shopkeeper, you're awake."

"Shopkeeper, how are you resting?"

"Shopkeeper, sit, eat something, don't say, the free meals in this inn are really good."

“…….”

Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yanjin, Pei Lin and others said one after another.

Li Shimin stretched his waist vigorously.

Sit down.

"Why do you get up so early? After a tiring day yesterday, don't you have a good rest at night? ”

Li Shimin smiled, picked up the pastry and ate it.

"Harm, shopkeeper, don't talk about it, I almost didn't fall asleep yesterday, and when I think about it, I'm going to sit on the Yanchi Road tomorrow, and I can't help but be excited."

"No, I finally kept my eyes open until it was almost dawn, and then I fell asleep, but I woke up soon, but I was full of energy and not sleepy at all."

Cheng Yanjin said excitedly.

"Yes, the shopkeeper, when I think of sitting on Yan Chi Road today, I can't sleep at all." Next to him, Li Junxian also echoed.

"I've heard about it for so long, I've watched it for so long, and I can finally experience the so-called Yan Chi Dao in person, how can I not be excited?" Fang Xuanling also smiled.

"Who's to say it isn't." Li Shimin nodded: "Last night, I opened my eyes and looked at the sun outside the window, just guessing what it was like to be in the air, and it took a long time to fall asleep, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten up so late." ”

"Okay, okay, hurry up and eat something, let's go to catch up with Yan Chidao." Empress Changsun smiled and poured Li Shimin full of tea.

"But, shopkeeper, where is our carriage?"

"This Yan Chi Dao, you shouldn't be able to take a carriage, right?"

Cheng Yanjin said a problem.

Everyone was stunned.

Hiss....

Truly!

It's a problem, and they really never think about it.

yes, where did the carriage go?

You can't just throw away the carriage just because you are riding on the hot gallop.

But

Xiao Er next to him gave a perfect answer.

Xiao Er was cleaning up the table next to him, and when he heard everyone talking about this issue, he couldn't help but pick up the conversation: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry. ”

"It's your first time riding the Flame Race, right? In the past, Yan Chi Road may not be able to place too heavy goods and horses, but now the improved Yan Chi Road is different. ”

"Maybe you don't know it, there is a horse shed at Yanchi Road Station, which is a special place to store carriages."

"It's just that you have to charge some fees, it seems to be five coppers a day, if you are too expensive, we also have a place to store carriages in Qingzhou City, which is very cheap."

"It's just that there is still a distance from the Yanchi Road site, and if you want to get there, you have to walk or take a taxi."

Xiao Er said.

"That's it, thank you guy, five cents a day, hahaha! Not much! Not much! ”

"I didn't expect the service of the Yanchi Road site to be so comprehensive."

Fang Xuanling hurriedly hugged his fist and said with a smile.

"In that case, let's go."

"Let's take a walk and take a look at the Yanchi Road site."

Li Shimin couldn't wait, stuffed a few more pastries into his mouth, and walked out.

The crowd laughed.

They are all in a hurry to keep up.

Because they are going to sit on the Yan Chi Road, this is the first time in their lives, all the sorrows of yesterday have disappeared, and everyone deliberately does not mention it, so as not to spoil today's good mood.

Asked the way off, the carriage, and went straight to the Yanchi Road site.

Qingzhou City Yanchi Road Station is located in the north of Qingzhou City.

As soon as you get out of the north city gate, you can see a big sign with arrows drawn on it, and the five big characters of [Yanchi Road Site] are written.

In this direction, there is a special cement road.

And

This concrete road is wider, wider and thicker than the highway.

Li Shimin looked at the road leading to the Yanchi Road site, and couldn't help but be shocked.

People, all people!

Cars, all cars!

Many people are about to take the Yanchi Road, and at the same time, many horse-drawn carriages and ox carts are full of goods here, which is much more lively than the highway.

Even with that wide road, it looks a little congested right now.

And obviously,

The Qingzhou City Government has also recognized this situation, and there are already working groups on both sides of the road ready to widen it again.

"Shhh How can these goods come and go compared to the dock? ”

Fang Xuanling frowned, incredulous.

In his impression, such a dense flow of goods and such a dense number of passengers can really only be seen on the docks.

There is no doubt that this is the only way for Datang to rely on the most relied on bulk cargo transportation.

Grand canal!

This great project built by the previous dynasty has played a real value in Datang.

A Grand Canal is really a place where millions of workers work and the wealth of the world flows.

If Datang doesn't have the Grand Canal, seriously, it's too difficult to transport goods!

After all

Horse-drawn carts and ox-carts transporting goods over long distances are simply wishful thinking.

It can be said that short-distance upside-down can be said, but to transport large quantities of goods over long distances, the cost is too high, too long, too long, and too long to operate.

But it's a big fire!

They are really so cowhilarious!!

There are rivers in Dayan, but almost all of them are east-west, and there are almost no north-south directions, and even if there are, they can't support Cao Yun.

But!

People have created a way that seems to be more convenient than Caoyun.

"There are so many goods, and ordinary docks can't handle it, what is this Yan Chi Dao?"

"It can transport goods and pull people, is it a ship on land?"

Cheng Yanjin was also stunned.

"Perhaps, Your Majesty, this Yan Chi Dao is more important than we imagined, and it is also.... More terrifying! ”

Pei Lin said with some confusion.

"Let's go, hurry! Go to the Yanchi Road site! ”

Li Shimin took a deep breath and opened his mouth to urge.

He really can't wait to take a look at what this Yanchi Road site looks like.

It seems like

The role of Yan Chi Dao, they completely wanted to be small before!

Li Shimin looked at the endless stream of carriages and ox carts transporting goods, his eyes and his brows were furrowed.

Could it be that

Next to the Yanchi Road site, there is also a pier?

otherwise

Yan Chi Dao, how can there be such a large carrying capacity?

Unbelievable!

Everyone was at a loss.

The speed of the carriage was getting faster again, but because there were so many people, even if it was fast, it couldn't be much faster.

Empress Eldest Sun was in the carriage in the middle.

Compared with Li Shimin, Cheng Biting Jin's solemnity in their carriage, she is much more relaxed.

"This great flame is really luxuriant, the people have the motivation to live and work in peace and contentment on their faces, look, and the relative density of these goods, it is estimated that even Chang'an is a bit incomparable."

"And....this is just a small Qingzhou capital city, if it is Taiyuan or Yanyun City, then....I dare not imagine."

"With such a developed trade, Dayan's tax revenue is inevitably indispensable!"

Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Yes, sis."

"I heard that the slaves and maids are in Dayan, no matter what they are, they are all equal, and the status of Shinong and Industry is the same, and it is said that they are all for the construction of Dayan."

The maid couldn't help but mention it.

Empress Eldest Sun's eyes flickered.

"This Great Yan Emperor is indeed the master of the party."

"It's really not easy for him to take this step, and if he doesn't have a strong wrist, he can't do it at all."

"Our Tang Dynasty, the ranking of Shinong's industrial and commercial status cannot be shaken, the imperial court is still constantly suppressing commerce and trade, and craftsmen are still in the lowly ranks, unable to participate in the imperial examination, hey...."

"Datang seems to be completely unable to keep up with Da Yan, the funny thing is that our imperial examination has been shouting for two years, but there has not been much substantial progress until now."

"Even if it's Da Yan, there is no way to enter books continuously."

"Your Majesty, they should really learn from Da Yan, be better to the people, better than anything else, better for the people, maybe it is also a solution to the current predicament."

"The strength of Dayan can be as strong as it is today, it depends on the complete mobilization of the power of the people, and the people give back to Dayan, look, we came all the way yesterday, and the mental state of those Dayan people is extremely upward."

"They are all honored that they are the people of Dayan, and they are all practicing to maintain Dayan, if our people in Datang can do the same, Datang, will they still lose? Qingzhou, will there be none? ”

Empress Eldest Sun shook her head.

It's like opening up the conversation box and saying a lot of sincere words.

And these words, how dare the maid reply.

Empress Changsun said that it was okay, but if she said it, it would be a matter of losing her head.

Subsequently.

Empress Changsun looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside the window and sighed helplessly.

It was also at this time that the speed of the carriage seemed to slow down again.

Empress Eldest Sun looked out.

Originally

Qingzhou City, Yanchi Road site has arrived.

Outside the Yanchi Road site.

The heads of people are like a tide.

However, although there are many people, it is not chaotic.

Inbound.

Exit.

Inbound port.

Shipment port.

Parking lot.

Ticket office.

There's even a koji room.

….….….….….….

Everything is functionally clear and easy to see at a glance.

front

Li Shimin, Cheng Yanjin, Fang Xuanling and Pei Lin have all come down.

car, put it in the parking lot.

There is a special management body, and horses of various colors are neatly arranged in the stables.

Simple registration is completed, and then the pledge is drawn, and you are able to go.

When you come, you only need to draw a charge and confirm it, and you can take it away after the payment is completed.

It's incredibly convenient.

"Your Majesty, this is the Yanchi Road site."

"It doesn't seem to be anything unique, it's just a little bigger."

Fang Xuanling looked at Qingzhou Station and said with a smile.

This is true, because Qingzhou Station has just opened to traffic, and the architecture is not gorgeous, everything is based on practicality.
