Boarding the carriage, Meng He's voice came: "Sir, are you going back?" ”

I thought about it for a while, and responded: "No, go to Wanlixiang." ”

I haven't been to Wanlixiang for almost three years, and I haven't been to it since I moved to the new city.

The carriage moved slowly, and Wanli Xiang from the Shosaku to the new city was very close, a little closer than in the old city.

After a while, the carriage stopped, I got out of the car, looked up, the new city of Wanlixiang, Zhongding Pavilion, Baoyue Tower is magnificent, although the building of the Qin Dynasty did not carve beams and painted buildings, but because the dougong is still playing a structural role, the reason is very atmospheric.

If you take it seriously, there is already a suspicion of overstepping, but Daqin is still relatively tolerant of construction, not to mention that this is my industry.

Walking into Wanlixiang, there was only a young man and a servant I had never seen behind the counter.

When the man saw me coming in, he hurriedly greeted me with a smile: "Distinguished guest, the villain is the shopkeeper of our store, what can I serve?" If you want to buy alcohol, you won't have time yet. ”

I nodded, it seems that this person is Zhan Wei who has been mentioned by Yinglan.

This young man was met by Ying Lan when he returned from Shangjun, and had just finished his service in the Northland Army, and his only relative had died in the army, and the Northland Army allowed him to return to his hometown.

Ying Lan saw that he was a talent, and he could read some words, so he invited him to Xianyang to enter Wanlixiang, Meng He investigated no problem, and he was loyal and honest, but he didn't expect to be a shopkeeper.

I looked around and asked with a smile, "What about Xiao Yong and Li Qing?" ”

Zhan Wei was stunned, he has been here for more than a year, and he has never seen me here, those people who come on weekdays call him Shopkeeper Li regardless of whether they are big or small, and he also knows the background of Wanli Xiang, and the person who can call Li Qing's name is definitely not an ordinary person, so his attitude is more respectful.

"Please know, shopkeeper Li went to Nanyang County with the master, and shopkeeper Xiaoyong went to the old store in Beicheng, if the boss has something to find them, can the villain tell them on his behalf?"

I shook my head slightly: "It's okay, let's do it another day." ”

This time I came to relax, and since my acquaintances are not there, there is no need to force anything.

I turned around and wanted to leave, but I didn't want a surprise shout from behind me: "Your Majesty...... Mr? ”

I turned around and saw a slim girl standing at the backyard door.

Although it changed a lot, I recognized her at a moment.

"Xiangyun, where are you?"

Xiangyun hurriedly took two quick steps, bent down and said, "I've seen Mr." Sir Wan An! ”

Turning his head and urging, "Come and see Mr." ”

Zhan Wei reacted, and hurriedly saluted respectfully: "I've seen Mr.!" ”

I smiled: "No courtesy, I thought I wouldn't see acquaintances." ”

Xiangyun said happily: "The concubine has not seen Mr. for four years, and Mr. is still the same." ”

Hurriedly turned sideways and said, "Sir, please." ”

I nodded, lifted my feet and walked to the backyard.

When they arrived at the back hall, Zhan Wei also followed.

Xiangyun saw me sit down, tidied up my clothes, and said respectfully: "Concubine see Your Majesty!" ”

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty? ”

Zhan Wei couldn't believe her ears when she heard Xiangyun's name, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Xiangyun hurriedly kicked him, Zhan Wei came back to his senses, quickly bowed down, and stammered a little: "See ...... Your Majesty......"

"No courtesy, sit down."

Xiangyun bowed down slightly, turned around and poured a cup of tea in front of me, and then sat aside.

Seeing that Zhan Wei was still standing there and didn't dare to sit down, Xiangyun smiled and said, "Your Majesty will let you sit down." ”

Zhan Wei bowed tremblingly and sat down.

I smiled, judging from Xiangyun's kick just now and his reaction now, the relationship between the two is probably not ordinary.

"It's true that I haven't seen you for a long time, and the state affairs are busy, so Ying Lan can still see her when she enters the palace occasionally, how about here?"

Xiangyun smiled and said: "Very good, Sister Yinglan treats the concubine like a relative, and the concubine has always remembered His Majesty's life-saving grace!" But ......"

Seeing that her expression had changed a little, I encouraged, "What? What's the trouble? Just say it bluntly. ”

Xiangyun raised his head and looked at Zhan Wei, his eyes were full of irrepressible love: "The concubine is ready to leave Xianyang with him." ”

"Oh?" I was a little surprised and curious: "Why did you leave Xianyang?" ”

Xiangyun was a little embarrassed and said: "The concubine has already married him, it just so happens that he and the concubine are both from Nanjun, he wants to go back to Nanjun to live, although there are no relatives there, but after all, it is our home, so ......"

Xiangyun's words surprised me even more, I didn't expect the two to be married?

"You're married? When was this? Why didn't you tell me? ”

Xiangyun said respectfully: "Just after Your Majesty went on patrol, your Majesty is not in Xianyang, and secondly, where are our little things worth alarming Your Majesty, Sister Yinglan has already made the two of us grateful." ”

I nodded lightly: "In this case, it is good to go back to Nanjun, Wuguan Road is being repaired, Henglu Road has been completed, Jiangnan will usher in rapid development, and it will be beneficial for Daqin for you to go back." Have you figured out what to do when you go back? ”

Xiangyun shook his head: "I haven't decided yet, Sister Yinglan said that if there is nothing to do, you can go to Zhongding Pavilion in Nanjun County to continue to do things, but Your Majesty and Sister Yinglan's great kindness cannot be repaid in this life, and the concubine doesn't want to trouble Sister Yinglan anymore." ”

I thought for a moment and said, "When are you going to leave?" ”

"When Sister Yinglan and Shopkeeper Li come back, we will prepare to go back to Nanjun."

I looked up, "I can give you some advice." ”

Facing Xiangyun's gaze, I said slowly: "The necessary materials such as farm tools, salt, and sugar that Daqin needed in the Qinnan Peninsula were all transported from Lingnan, to be precise, by land to Panyu Port and then by sea.

But such costs are high, and I have always wanted to reduce the cost by water transportation. If you can establish a water transportation channel through the river, Xiangshui, Lingqu, and out of the water, it can not only help the Qinnan Peninsula, but also complement the Henglu Road and Wuguan Road. Of course, you can also get a lot of benefits from this. ”

Xiangyun frowned and thought, "Your Majesty means to let us do water transportation?" ”

I smiled and shook my head: "Water transportation can be done by other people, you just need to build a ship." Panyu Port needs to focus on the manufacture of sea vessels, and has no energy to build inland water vessels. ”

The two nodded lightly and arched their hands: "Your Majesty, we want to think about it." ”

"Hehe......" I waved my hand and said, "It's just a matter of mentioning it, if you really want to do it, you have to consider whether the waterway is smooth, whether there are enough slender men, whether there are people willing to buy it, etc., it's not that simple." ”

Xiangyun was a little puzzled: "Why didn't Your Majesty let the official office do this?" …… The concubine didn't mean anything else, just curiosity. ”
