Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 225: This is the speed of Great Yan, Li Shimin was shocked!

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

In the spring of this year, the people of Pu County had a bumper harvest and were lifted out of poverty. They were able to fill their granaries.

And in Pu County this spring,

A new county magistrate has come down from above. It is said that this magistrate is only in his twenties and is in the prime of life.

With a lot of enthusiasm, he worked hard as soon as he moved into Pu County.

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 County and Datang, and tried to build Puxian County into a commercial transit station.

It's only been a few months?

Great results.

The people of Pu County have a completely new outlook on life.

Vigorously upward.

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

"No need to feel melancholy."

Li Shimin nodded.

Pei Ji agreed.

The children are even more lively.

Their spirit is far inferior to that of the people of Dayan.

"Then think about it, even the people of Chang'an may not be as good as the people of Pu County? This... already illustrates some problems."

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

Behind them, Pei Ji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also stretched out their heads, rolled up the car curtains, and kept looking around.

Li Shimin didn't sit in the carriage, he was sitting in the driver's seat, side by side with Li Junxian.

And when he does things, he is calm and leisurely, without any obscenity at all, and he is elegant and generous.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the people of Dayan naturally behave like masters in all aspects in their own country."

Queen Changsun's carriage was at the back.

When walking, the body should be straight.

Jumping and jumping, white and fat.

He suddenly discovered,

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

Facing the early summer wind, I looked at the vast fields and the people passing by on the road.

There is always a smile on the faces of the people of Dayan.

"At that time, we will be able to see clearly what is going on."

But what about the people of the Tang Dynasty?

Queen Changsun said softly.

Such vitality, such momentum, to be honest, not even Chang'an, let alone Tong County, can compare!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

but,

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

"This is not our fault in Datang. It is all due to geographical factors."

Big difference!

There was a little timidity all over him.

Fang Xuanling also echoed.

"Those records, written in the files, may seem very eye-catching, but... everything has to wait until we enter Pu County."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."

"Your Majesty, we people in the Tang Dynasty are all good people. Perhaps it is our first time to leave the Tang Dynasty and we don't know much about the Great Yan, so we are quite cautious."

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.

This is not,

Silent all night.

Just now,

To be honest, the people of Tang Dynasty who can come to Pu County are considered relatively wealthy. For ordinary people of Tang Dynasty, let alone Datang, how many times a year can they go out of the city?

But even so, these people of the Tang Dynasty are not as good as the people of the Great Yan.

Li Shimin also wanted to confirm his guess, so he asked Li Junxian to stop the carriage and ask a few people in person.

They do business and discuss business with the people of Dayan, always trying to please them and smiling obscenely.

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

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

really!

Early in the morning, Li Shimin led them towards Pu County.
.

…….….….….….

Pu County.

"Great Yan may be developing more rapidly than we know!"

Li Shimin shook his head.

The carriage entered the city.

Suddenly, it became even more lively.

On both sides of the avenue, various shops have opened, including bookstores, salt shops, various grocery stores, and even toothpaste and toothbrush shops...

Various.

They couldn't even understand the names of many shops.

There are also many people setting up stalls on the roadside.

Coming and going, extremely prosperous.

and,

There were so many people. To be honest, if Li Shimin hadn't known that there had been a disaster just last year, he really couldn't believe that there had been a disaster here! !

Li Shimin had a long look in his eyes.

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

Li Shimin asked.

Fang Xuanling pursed her chapped lips and scratched her head.

"Your Majesty... I, Old Cheng, remember that both sides of the road were deserted and deserted."

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

Cheng Yaojin said slowly.

He looked at the prosperous Pu County with horror in his eyes.

He had visited Pu County twice before.

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

The second time was last year.

At that time,

As time went by, many people in Pu County ran to Dayan.

then,

When the locust plague came and the Turks invaded, Pu County became a hot spot.

last year,

In Pu County during the locust plague, according to reports, everyone was gone.

But….

After only one year of development and recovery, Pu County... is even more prosperous than it was three or four years ago!

Pei Ji, Fang Xuanling and the others swallowed their saliva and watched quietly without speaking.

What Cheng Yaojin said is true.

There is no room for their quibbles.

Let me ask, is there anything to quibble about in this matter?

Pu County has indeed radiated great vitality in the hands of Xiangyan.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

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

These ones,

They were all people of the Tang Dynasty before, but now... they are no longer from the Tang Dynasty!

He... lost them, but... this was not something that made Li Shimin sad.

The sad thing for him was that it was just a matter of losing it, but after losing it, the living standards of the people in Puxian County skyrocketed, and the prosperity of Puxian County also skyrocketed.

This made him feel uncomfortable.

It's very painful, very painful! !

This shows what?

It shows that Datang is very bad, and I am 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.

then….

Li Shimin remained silent. Fang Xuanling, Pei Ji, and Du Ruhui didn't dare to say anything. Looking at Li Shimin's appearance, they could all guess what Li Shimin was thinking at this moment.

indeed!

This shows that I am still too rubbish!

They all sighed in their hearts.

After a while,

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, do we... still want to stay here?"

"Or should we go directly to Taiyuan?"

Li Shimin took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and then said weakly: "It won't stop."

"I am too shameless to face the people of Pu County! It was me who delayed them before, and it was also the court that delayed them."

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

Li Shimin closed his eyes in pain.

Damn!

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

My poor and fragile heart is about to break.

Naturally, no one dared to question Li Shimin's order.

Besides, they want to leave Pu County quickly now.

Not to mention that Li Shimin felt heartbroken, but they all felt that their old face was a bit unbearable.

Pu County!

It can be said that it was a hard slap on the face of the Tang Dynasty court.

They knew His Majesty didn't want to stay here any longer, so they raised their whips and slapped the horse on the butt.

The speed has increased.

They drove fast all the way, but when it was noon, the speed of the three carriages slowed down.

no way.

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

They are not here to escape.

And coincidentally, there was a restaurant on the edge of the official road ahead.

Today's meal is naturally settled here.

After all, I didn't eat much in the morning, so I was already hungry by now.

This restaurant is not big.

But business is pretty good. It's officially noon. Passing merchants and tourists who are not in a hurry will stop here to have a rest and eat something.

The smell of the stir-fry in the kitchen goes straight to your nostrils, which is extremely tempting.

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

Immediately,

Li Junxian called the waiter and ordered delicious dishes.

Empress Changsun was sitting on the side of Li Shimin, looking a little unhappy.

Keep drinking water.

"Guanyin Maid, are you okay? It's been a long journey, and it will take a few days to reach Dayan."

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

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Queen Changsun shook her head: "It's okay, shopkeeper, it's just that we haven't traveled far for a long time, so we can't get used to it for a while."

"I guess...it will get better after a while. I think back then, we also walked through wind and rain."

Queen Changsun refused directly.

Shopkeeper is what they call them when they are walking outside. After all, they can't just call you Your Majesty outside.

And this is also true,

Even her eldest grandson, the Queen, was deeply affected by the chaos in the previous dynasty. The torment back then was much more difficult than it is now.

In contrast,

This little bump in the road is nothing to overcome.

"Your Majesty, if we follow this pace and walk for another five or six days, we should almost arrive at Taiyuan City."

"When we get to Taiyuan City, we will take the Yanchi Road. When the time comes, we can take the Yanchi Road to go north."

Fang Xuanling said.

Yan Chi Road!

When everyone heard this name, their eyes lit up.

This name was extremely familiar to them.

In the Great Yan Weekly, there are indeed many scenes describing Yan Chi Road, but they have never seen what it is like.

"If you can sit on the Yanchi Road, you must naturally sit on the Yanchi Road."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes.

"Yan Chidao, I really don't know what it looks like. It's like a long dragon? It's traveling all over the world? I can't imagine it. I guess... I can only truly understand it by seeing it with my own eyes."

Li Shimin sighed.

"Yes, during this period, I have only heard about it. Taking the Yanchi Road from Taiyuan to Yanyun City, it only takes a few days to travel."

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

"But Yan Chidao, it only takes a few days. This... this speed is unheard of. If you don't experience it yourself, you won't even be able to imagine what's going on."

Pei Ji also sighed with emotion.

There is hope in everyone's eyes.

indeed!

They were really too curious about Yan Chidao.

"Hey, how many brothers are you from the south?"

“From what you said, it looks like it’s my first time coming to Dayan!”

At this moment,

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

The father-in-law has dark skin, and there are several strong young men sitting next to him. At first glance, he looks like a veteran of the world.

Pei Ji immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It's not the first time I've been to Dayan, but my husband, 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. Naturally, there were no such cars anymore."

Pei Ji quickly explained.

On this trip, I not only wanted to see, but also talk more with the people of Dayan, see more, and observe Dayan in a three-dimensional and immersive manner.

Sometimes, to determine what a country is like, you can’t look at the top, but the bottom.

And undoubtedly,

These people who are running around in the world are the best people to find out the truth.

"I see!"

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

"What should I say about Dayan? Well... the speed of development is so fast that even a businessman like me who goes to Yanyun City every now and then can't figure it out."

"Hahaha, brother, let's take a good look this time. Take a good look. Dayan has to say, it's really amazing!"

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

"The speed of Great Yan is just like that of Yanchi Road. Grandma's. If you don't go there for a few days, you will become unfamiliar."

The old man smiled.

"I'm going to Yanyun City?" Pei Ji nodded and smiled again.

"Yes!" The old man nodded: "We are doing some business between Yanyun City and Datang. To put it bluntly, we are just being a gangster and making a living, but we are not as good as you, brother."

"Look at the way these brothers are dressed, they are not ordinary people. I am afraid that when I go to Yanyun City this time... I have big business to do, right?"

My father-in-law is extremely cheerful.

"It harms... no matter how big a business it is, it's just a way of making ends meet."

"No, there have been less things going on in the south recently, so I just wanted to come to Dayan to have a look, look for business, talk about business, and then also want to take a stroll on the grassland."

Pei Ji waved his hand and said relaxedly.

"It's time to go! The grassland in July and August is neither cold nor hot. Look at the sea of ​​grass, try roasted whole sheep, and drink mare's milk. It's beautiful!"

"By the way, brother, if you want to take Yanyun City, you don't have to go to Taiyuan. Qingzhou Prefecture is already open to traffic."

"Besides, if you go a little further, it's all cement highway."

"Then keep walking with energy! By then, it won't be bumpy anymore."

"With this normal journey, we can reach the border tomorrow morning, and then we can reach Yanyun City in a few days."
