"Your Majesty, I'll follow you."

Empress Eldest Sun spoke.

"That's fine."

Li Shimin nodded, he swept around everyone: "Let's go, there should be a place to rent and buy cars outside, there is this business outside the Yanchi Road Station in Qingzhou City, and there should be one here." ”

"Then, let's find a village, and in the evening, we will eat in that village."

Li Shimin said goodbye and walked directly towards the exit of the station.

The crowd immediately followed.

.

…….….….….….

The sunset, very round.

However, this is the last struggle before the night.

Three carriages, along the road, drove in the opposite direction of the county seat of Daixian.

But they are not alone on the road.

Without him, there are also a lot of carriages and pedestrians here.

There is a world of difference from the empty city two years ago.

"It seems that after Qingzhou was taken over by Dayan, many people returned to their hometowns."

Li Shimin said softly, and there was some embarrassment in his eyes.

now

I will never connect the current situation with the empty city two years ago.

At that time, not a single ghost could be seen on the road.

But now, it's quite prosperous.

At that time, the fields on both sides of the road were full of dead crops, and large tracts of land were deserted.

And now, this field has already experienced a harvest, and the seeds planted in the spring have also germinated, green, like a green carpet, incomparably luxuriant, incomparably beautiful, just like a landscape painting.

"For the people, our Datang, Your Majesty, I have to admit that there is a certain gap between us and Da Yan." Fang Xuanling's voice was gloomy.

Li Shimin nodded.

Everyone looked at the beauty around them.

What a picture of the sunset, the fields, the pedestrians, the birds....

And it didn't take long for a new element to appear in this picture.

Smoke!

Ancient Trees!

Village!

Playing children, resting old people, chasing dogs....

A village, just ahead.

At this time, it was time for the people to eat dinner.

This fragrance permeates this world.

"Goo...."

Li Shimin touched his stomach, his face was a little embarrassed, the smell was too fragrant, and he felt that he was hungry.

Fragrant!

It's really fragrant!

This taste, to be honest, is no worse than the best restaurant in Chang'an.

Even

Li Shimin felt that these home-cooked dishes were much better than those meals in restaurants.

"Goo-dong...."

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Pei Lin also swallowed their saliva.

They also smelled the aroma.

Stand.

I really can't stand it!

"It's just a coincidence, hehe....let's go, let's go in this village, let's go in and have a look."

Li Shimin commanded.

Immediately, the direction of the three carriages went straight to the village.

When they arrived at the head of the village, Li Shimin and the others jumped out of the carriage and tied the carriage to the big tree at the head of the village.

Around, someone has already spotted them.

The eyes of the villagers were a little puzzled.

At this time, there was a visitor.

Whose relatives is this?

The simple people all had such a thought in their hearts.

Li Shimin did not stay at the head of the village for long, but led everyone towards the village.

Along

Straight and clean streets.

On both sides of the street, there are garbage cans from time to time.

The houses also seem to be flipped.

On both sides of the road, many people gathered around with bowls, chatting while eating.

From time to time, let out a few hearty laughs.

When Li Shimin walked over with everyone, many people turned their heads to look at it.

After all, at this time, the circulation of the population is not high, especially for these villages, there is not a single strange face for ten days and half a month.

At this moment, a group of people came directly, and they were naturally puzzled.

But

This is not a difficult thing for Li Shimin.

No way, he's thick-skinned.

Looking at the people, Li Shimin smiled and clenched his fists, and walked over directly with a kind face.

Moreover, it is very safe to speak when it is far away.

"Folks, we....we came from the south, if you don't dislike it, I want to buy a meal with silver."

As he spoke, Li Shimin took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and said with a smile.

"Yes, folks, we don't mean anything else, we've been here before, but it was two years ago, and there was a drought."

"At that time, when we came, there was no one in this village, not to mention the village, even in the county, and I have a deep memory, and I can't forget it."

"Two years later, we passed through this place again, and we could have taken the Yanchi Road car directly to Yanyun City, but our owner thought that we would come here again to see how it has become, and see how this place has changed."

"I didn't expect the villagers to come back."

Cheng Yanjin echoed the opening.

I couldn't help it, there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

Slightly sour nose.

The voice was crying.

Touching the scene, that feeling, is gushing all at once, and it can't be stopped at all.

Two years ago, Cheng Yanjin knew very well in his heart that he had really borne too much suffering here.

And when they heard Fang Xuanling's echoing explanation, the faces of the people here were also instantly revealed.

At the same time, there is a lot less vigilance in my heart.

Immediately, an old man who looked old and looked very prestigious walked out with a bowl.

"I see, so to speak, it's an old friend."

"Everyone, if you don't dislike it, then go to the old man's house and let the old woman cook you a delicious meal."

"Hahaha....We all ran out two years ago, and I should have invited you to a meal at that time, but I didn't expect it to drag on until now, this is fate."

"You guys are still thinking about this, it just so happens that the old man has not been starved to death, if you come here a year, it is unfortunate that we will not be able to eat in our village."

"But it's different now, brother, just pack up the silver and have a meal, the old man can afford it."

The old man laughed loudly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the other people around him spoke one after another.

"Oh, Muramasa, don't let them go to your house, grandma she can't work alone, you see more than ten brothers, come to my house, my mother-in-law is energetic, it just happened that at noon, my family just made wheat buns, and the vegetables and meat are complete."

"That's it! Brothers, you don't dislike coming to my house, my family just killed a pig yesterday, and today we have enough, good wine and good food, and we are not short now. ”

"Oh, don't rob it, don't rob it, why don't you make a vegetable market and bring it over?"

"This method is good, this method is good! Miaomiao, let's go, I'll go home and get ready to go. ”

“…….”

This group of simple people, you fight for me.

Incredibly hospitable.

Extremely welcoming.

Seeing this, Li Shimin smiled bitterly, hurriedly walked up, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, fellow villagers. ”

"Oh, don't be so troublesome, don't be so troublesome, we're already very upset about bothering."

"Why do you want to cook again? So....brother, I thought, it's whose family has some food left, let's just cushion our stomachs. ”

Li Shimin hurriedly said.

"That's right." Fang Xuanling also clenched his fists again and again: "Murazheng, if the villagers are like this, then our host will not eat, we will turn around and leave." ”

"Folks, just listen to our host, our host has been talking about this place before he came, just thinking about having a light meal, and we are very happy to see the villagers have enough food and clothing."

Cheng Yanjin also immediately agreed: "Whose family's meal hasn't finished yet, just get together, so that we can be happy to eat." ”

"Otherwise, we might as well go to the restaurant in the county seat."

Li Shimin nodded again and again.

When the villagers heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, you look at me, I look at you, there is no way, so it has to be like this.

"Well, well, then, brothers, do as you say."

Muramasa slapped his thigh and directly confirmed: "We are still thinking, we will treat the brothers well today, it has been two years, and we have postponed this meal for two years." ”

"Now, we can afford a meal, no! Not to mention a meal, it's a year, two years, and we don't hurt for a lifetime! ”

"There's food, don't worry! Hahaha....So, you'll wait a minute? It just so happens that the pork and vegetable soup that my family ate today, I will bring you all the ones in the pot. ”

After saying that, the village hurriedly went home.

"I'll bring you some flatbread, the cake I just baked today is very delicious, this noodle is also a new noodle that just came down this spring, and the taste is also very fragrant!"

"There are still a lot of fried large intestines in my pot, and I thought there were too many fried today, but I didn't expect it to be just right."

"The noodles I eat at home today are made of eggs, which is called an authentic one, and that one is called a smooth one, just right, the noodles are not finished, I will give them to you."

"I still have a lot of salted duck eggs at home, I'll get you a few."

"Look, can you just eat? I have a lot of fruit at home, all of which have just been picked, and I will wash a few of them for you. ”

"My family...."

The surrounding villagers were extremely enthusiastic and ran towards their homes.

"Thank you folks, you don't need to be so troublesome, you can eat enough."

Li Shimin thanked him loudly.

At this moment, there was another wave of hands, and everyone said that they would see the outside.

Li Shimin looked at Zhuangzi and looked at the other villagers, and couldn't help but sigh from within: "This change is really big." ”

"It's only been a few years? Yes, that's great! ”

Li Shimin's voice was deep.

Although these people should have been the people of Datang, but now they have become the people of Dayan, he is still happy in his heart.

"Who said no, life is getting better and better, and Your Majesty also said that good days are still to come, hahaha, such days, we didn't dare to think about them before, and no matter how good the days are, we dare not think about them."

"When we left Datang, two years ago, I really didn't dare to think that it would be like this now, at that time we were all dead people, fortunately we ran fast, rushed to Yanyun City to pick up a life, and then I heard that Qingzhou was back, so I came back, after all, this is the root of the life of our ancestors, and I never expected that His Majesty's support for Qingzhou is so great."

"Yes, I think that at the beginning, there was no one in the entire county, and the people in the north of Qingzhou went all the way to the north, at that time, we just wanted to find a way to live, but we never thought that we would find Yanyun City, find Dayan, and find Your Majesty."

"Hahaha....Speaking of which, I was the first to arrive in Yanyun City at that time, and at that time, we didn't know where to go, Liang Guo? They didn't let us in at all, and the Turks were even more unreliable, just when they were so desperate, a child appeared, I still remember, he was sitting in a carriage, it should be a child of Yanyun City, the child showed us the way, saying that it was not far from Yanyun City, the capital of the Great Yan Country, if it weren't for him, we would go around and around, and I was afraid that we would starve to death outside. ”

"Yes, when you say that, I also remember, if it weren't for that kid, we really wouldn't dare to continue to go north, at that time we all crossed the Liang country, and then north is the territory of the Turks, but fortunately, it was the kid who said a word, so that we found the greatest luck in this life."

"When I arrived in Yanyun City, who would have thought that His Majesty would directly open a warehouse to give grain, and at that time, as long as I went to Yanyun City, no one died."

"That's right, after the disaster passed, His Majesty also let us choose, if we want to join Dayan, we will divide the land on the spot, and if we don't want to join, we will go back, without any hindrance, don't mention it, I came back at the beginning, and then last year my mother ran away again, and I shouldn't have had hope for Datang two years ago."

“…….”

The people here all fell into memories and said one after another.

Li Shimin did not disturb them.

Just listened quietly.

That child should be the child of a wealthy family in Yanyun City, right?

It turned out that everything started with that child, but I didn't expect that there would be such a small episode in it.

Li Shimin was stunned.

Perhaps, this is providence.

As he spoke, the villagers who had gone to the dinner just now had already come back one after another.

Muramasa and his wife are holding a pot, and there is indeed a lot of pork and vegetable soup in the pot.

The aroma is tangy.

Moreover, the pork cabbage soup in this pot is said to be pork vegetable soup, but now, there are no vegetables, all meat.

"Brother, look, this is not much, not enough for one person and one bowl, why don't you eat it as a dish?" Muramasa put the pot on the ground.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Oh, so much, thanks, thanks!" ”

Pei Lone, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and them, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

The smell made their stomachs ring again.

The sound was much louder than before.

At this time, another villager came over, holding a pot full of fried large intestines.

Another folk came, full of a big basket of steamed buns.

The other villagers also came one after another and put their things in a pile.

Filling.

All of a sudden, Li Shimin and the others were a little dazzled.

Even if it is the food in the palace, it has never been so rich.

"Brother, come to my house and wash your hands first."

"Hygiene! You've been on the road for a day, and you don't know how many bacteria you have on your hands, so make more soap. ”

At this time, a villager next to him spoke.

Li Shimin was at a loss.

Hand washing?

Are people so hygienic now?

"This is advocated by His Majesty, the whole Dayan knows that you have to wash your hands before and after eating, drink water, drink boiling hot water, etc., not to mention, this little habit is very simple, but these times, we almost haven't had diarrhea, and it can be said that it is two ends in three days before diarrhea."

Muramasa explained with a smile.
