Chapter 236

Having said that, there is still an hour before the night market in Licheng, and the sun has not yet set.

Lu Wei had to take a few people to visit the resettlement houses for the aborigines and dwarves.

On the other side, after several hours of rushing, Huang Panpan and the others were finally only five miles away from Licheng. Because there were refugees on the road, they had to slow down.

However, looking at the wide and hard road under his feet, the old general Sima Wudi couldn't help but frowned: "How was this road built? It's even smoother and harder than the official road in the capital, and horses won't appear when running on it." crack."

As he said that, he looked at the yellow and hungry refugees on both sides, and his thick eyebrows frowned even deeper: "Xiao Chu said that Licheng takes in refugees? Isn't Licheng an abandoned city? What will be used to take in these refugees?"

"Heh, women and Taoists, which one doesn't have a heart higher than the sky." Huang Panpan said disdainfully, his voice was not as thick as a man's, but very thin.

Sima Wudi glanced at him, snorted coldly, but didn't speak.

Although he looked down on this male or female thing, but he was a celebrity in front of the emperor after all, and he would not foolishly make trouble.

What just made him curious was that the refugees and refugees he saw all the way from the capital had blank and hopeless eyes, as if they couldn't see the future.

But why can't the refugees and refugees going to Licheng see these two things in their eyes?
Their eyes were very bright, and when they looked in the direction of Licheng, there was even a slight smile on their faces. If he read correctly, it was a look full of hope.

Before that, he had met people who exchanged their sons for food, changed their wives and sold their daughters, but there were no such people here, which was really strange.

In the carriage, Sima Li opened the curtain, glanced at the refugees on both sides, and sighed softly: "There are so many things that a man can't do, but a woman can do it. It's really..."

Pursing his lips, for a moment, he couldn't find words to describe his mood at the moment.

On the other hand, Sima Han smiled: "Third brother, why do you need to do this? It's not that you can't do it, it's just that you can't do it. However, this Lu Anran is a bit courageous, I wouldn't dare replace me. Huh? "

All of a sudden, she let out a slight suspicion, leaned on Sima Li's window with a puzzled face and looked out, pointed to the large green crops not far away, and asked curiously: "Third brother, look, that's upland rice? Why? Much taller than the ones grown by Schinong?"

Sima Han raised his eyes and saw those crops as expected.

There are a lot of them, the color is dark green, and they are planted in the ridges of the fields, separated by ridges, and the growth is excellent.

Although it was near sunset at this time, there were still people carrying water and spreading fertilizer.

"It is indeed upland rice, and its growth is better than that in the capital. But, why did it grow in the water?"

He froze for a moment, looked at the water reflecting the broken light of the setting sun, and couldn't help frowning: "Isn't this ruining the seedlings?"

Sima Han rolled his eyes: "Didn't you see the growth? You said that you are better than the ones in the capital, how could it be a waste! Let me look over there."

She ran to the place where she was sitting before, opened the window and looked out, and sure enough, all she saw were green rice paddies, she exclaimed: "Third brother, this side is also full of paddy rice!
Then Lu Anran is really ruthless, this rice should be different from upland rice, he dared to plant all over the mountains and plains, tsk tsk tsk, enough courage, even more courage than your brothers! "

Sima Li shook his head with a grin, he didn't agree with her words, but he was a little more curious about Lu Anran.

Suddenly, he saw a strange long pavilion not far away. The pavilion looked a bit like a notice booth, but it was longer than the notice booth. It was blue and white, and it was protected by a transparent glass in front.

There is a guardrail inlaid three feet away from the front, and it is not clear what it is used for.

And there gathered a lot of refugees and refugees, they stood in line, each one was very quiet.

Even if he wants to speak, he speaks in a low voice, and from time to time he raises his head to look in the direction of Licheng, but he doesn't know what to look at.

After the team approached, he saw the "notice booth" clearly. "Bus Station - Licheng" was written on the white board above, and underneath, densely packed place names were written in smaller characters. .

"What is this?" Before he could open his mouth, Fu Wenhua, the prime minister in the carriage in front, spoke first, but unfortunately, no one answered.

Not only did no one answer, those refugees also stared at him with very hostile eyes.

Fu Wenhua was bored, so he had to put down the curtain of the car and stopped talking.

Sima Han chuckled, poked his head out, pointed to the "notice booth" and said to an old man nearby: "Old man, may I ask what this is for?"

Seeing that it was a girl, the old man was beautiful and polite, and his complexion improved a lot, so he explained: "My girl, this is the 'bus station' sentry box.

This is just the boundary line of Licheng, so it is "Licheng Station". There are many stations like this, one every two miles.

It is the parking spot for the Licheng bus, and the Licheng bus will stop to pick up passengers only when it reaches the sentry box.And us ordinary people can take these buses to Licheng without walking, which is convenient and trouble-free. "

As he said that, he pointed to the "warehouse" across the road, "Here, the bus inside will come out to pick up passengers when the time comes."

Hearing this, Sima Han and the others quickly turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw a big dam beside the road opposite them.

There is a strange building in that dam, which looks like a warehouse, but with large windows on all sides.

What was shocking was that the window was actually made of very transparent glass, and they could even see the strange long carriage parked inside from the outside!

The carriage seemed to be made of iron and wood. There were more than a dozen glazed windows in two rows. Through the windows, two rows of clean chairs could be seen inside.

They couldn't help being taken aback, and Sima Han asked, "Is that strange carriage a 'bus'?"

"That's right." The old man nodded with a smile: "My daughter, you don't know, it can seat forty or fifty people."

"Forty or fifty?" Sima Han stared wide-eyed, pointing at the two horses in front of the bus, "How is it possible, how could the two horses pull with so many people?"

"I don't know about that. I heard it seems to be something from Licheng? Technology? I don't quite understand either."

"Technology?" What the hell is that?

Sima Han was very puzzled, not only her, but everyone in the company also frowned, never heard of this word, what does it mean?
"What is this, a bus?" Sima Wudi snorted, and his gray beard fluttered immediately, "What's the price? Have you ever afforded it? Doesn't the Lord Lu use this to shave people's fat?"

"Hmph, what are you talking about!"

The old man stared at him angrily, and before he could speak, the teenager beside him stared at him coldly, and said angrily:

"Uninformed bumpkin," he said, cupping his hands respectfully in the direction of Licheng, and continued: "City Master Renlu understands righteousness, loves the people like his own son, and didn't make things difficult for us because we are refugees.

Instead, they let me take the bus to Licheng for free and make proper arrangements.

In addition, she also applied benevolent government, built large-scale construction projects, eliminated exorbitant taxes and corvees, provided relief with work, and cared for children and girls. May I ask, sir, which official can have such courage?

By saying that, don't you want to sow discord?I tell you, no way! "

The child's words and the look of resentment on his face made Sima Wudi's heart sink. Lu Anran is so popular!
