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

Chapter 230: King Chu knew that the three-year relationship between father and son faded away!

After a while, Qingzhou City arrived.

The gates are still open.

The city was bustling with activity.

It seems to be still early.

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

"Okay, we've been traveling all day, let's take a rest early, and wait until tomorrow, let's go see what Yanchi Road is like."

After finding an inn and everyone getting off the bus, Li Shimin yawned and said.

Everyone nodded.

indeed,

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

Seeing Li Shimin, everyone stood up immediately.

He couldn't help but look directly into King Chu's indifferent eyes.

This….

What on earth was the second brother thinking?

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

She knew that King Chu was always thinking about revenge.

"They were having fun today...well, yes, they were having fun."

Chen Qingzhi stood on one side and was reporting.

On the streets, every shop has been opened, and people are coming and going and starting their work for the day.

When he came down,

Empress Changsun, Fang Xuanling and others are already here.

Princess Changle asked.

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

I really wanted to see something from it, but all I could see was peace.

As always, she couldn't see through the man in front of her.

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

Li Shimin woke up.

Princess Changle was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly and said: "Second brother, what do you... think about your father's arrival this time?"

Even if... I have been with him for more than two years, this is still the case.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile.

The moon was sparse, and the soft moonlight looked extremely gentle in this silent night. It also enveloped the entire Yanyun Palace, as if it was sprinkled with a layer of silver light.

On this day, they were really busy on the road, not to mention that they had an extremely thrilling drag racing battle in the afternoon. They needed rest, both mentally and physically.

Somehow, Princess Changle saw some dangerous edge in Li Kuan's eyes.

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

If you don't call him to the palace, does that mean your second brother wants to pay a private visit incognito?

This….

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

The words fell.

And take her to see her father, emperor and empress?

Princess Changle was stunned.

This man is really... so amazing and mysterious.

Second brother, go and see your father directly!
.

….….….….….

The next day.

Eating breakfast.

She understands.

"Three years have passed, and I don't know how my father will fare compared to three years ago."

Chen Qingzhi said slowly.

She was very worried. This time King Chu directly captured her father, and even...captured and killed him!

however,

To Princess Changle's surprise, Li Kuan just smiled softly: "They are not walking slowly. Don't worry about them. Just keep an eye on them. They can run wherever they want."

Qingzhou City.

"They experienced the prosperity of Pu County and the charm of the highway. In addition, they also shoed their horses."

"Second brother, I want to see my father, the emperor and my mother, but I don't know. Is it convenient for you?"

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

Li Kuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "What's the inconvenience? It's not like I called them to the palace."

"Changle, when they arrive at Yanyun City, how about I take you to see them?"

"Your Majesty, this time Li Shimin not only brought Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Cheng Yaojin, the most accustomed civil servants and generals, but also Queen Changsun, and arrived in Qingzhou City today."

….….….….….….

Yanyun City.

"Shopkeeper, you're awake."

"Shopkeeper, how was your rest?"

"Housekeeper, sit down and have something to eat. Don't tell me, the free meals in this inn are really good."

"......."

Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, Pei Ji and others said one after another.

Li Shimin stretched his waist vigorously.

sit down.

"Why did you get up so early? You were tired all day yesterday, why don't you take a good rest at night?"

Li Shimin smiled, picked up the cake and started eating it.

"Hey, shopkeeper, stop talking. I almost didn't fall asleep yesterday. When I think about riding Yanchi Road tomorrow, I can't help but get excited."

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

Cheng Yaojin said excitedly.

"Yes, shopkeeper. When I think about taking the Yanchi Road today, I can't sleep at all." Li Junxian next to him also echoed.

"I've heard about it for so long, watched it for so long, and now I can finally experience the so-called Yanchi Road for myself. How could I not be excited?" Fang Xuanling also laughed.

"Who says it's not?" Li Shimin nodded: "Last night, I stared at the sun outside the window with my eyes open, just guessing what the Yanchi Road was like. It took me a long time to fall asleep, otherwise I wouldn't have done it. Getting up so late.”

"Okay, okay, let's eat something quickly and let's go to Yanchi Road together." Empress Changsun smiled and poured a full cup of tea for Li Shimin.

"But, shopkeeper, where do we put our carriage?"

"You shouldn't be able to bring a carriage on Yanchi Road, right?"

Cheng Yaojin asked a question.

Everyone was stunned.

hiss….

indeed!

This is a problem, and they really have never thought about it.

Yes, where to put the carriage?

You can't just lose the carriage just because you're riding Yanchi Road.

but,

The waiter next to me gave the perfect answer.

The waiter was clearing the table next to him. When he heard everyone talking about this issue, he couldn't help but take over the conversation: "Dear guests, don't be anxious."

"Is this your first time riding Yanchi Road? The previous Yanchi Road may not be able to accommodate heavy goods and horses, but now the improved Yanchi Road is different."

"Maybe you don't know, but there is a stable at Yanchi Road Station, which is a place specially used to store carriages."

"It's just a fee. It seems to be five coppers a day. If you think it's expensive, we also have a place to store carriages in Qingzhou City. It's very cheap."

"It's just that it's still far from the Yanchi Road stop. If you want to go there, you have to walk or take a taxi."

The waiter said.

"That's it. Thanks man, it's five cents a day, hahaha! Not much! Not much!"

“I didn’t expect that the services at the Yanchi Road site are so comprehensive.”

Fang Xuanling quickly fisted her fists and said with a smile.

"In that case, let's go."

“Let’s take a walk and check out the Yanchi Road station.”

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

Everyone laughed.

They all hurriedly followed.

Because it was the first time in their lives that they were going to sit on the Yanchi Road, yesterday's worries had all disappeared, and everyone deliberately did not mention it, so as not to ruin today's good mood. After asking for directions, the carriage went straight to the Yanchi Road stop.

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

As soon as you exit the North City Gate, you can see a large sign with an arrow drawn on it and the words "Yanchi Road Stop" written on it.

There is a concrete road in this direction.

and,

This cement road is wider, wider, and thicker than the expressway.

Li Shimin couldn't help but be shocked when he looked at the road leading to the Yanchi Road stop.

People are all people!

Cars are all cars!

Many people were about to take the Yanchi Road. At the same time, many horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts were loaded with goods. It was much more lively than the expressway.

Even such a wide road now looks a bit congested.

And obviously,

The Qingzhou City government is also aware of this situation, and there are working groups on both sides of the road preparing to widen it again.

"Hiss... Is this Yanchi Road so powerful? With all these goods coming and going, it can be compared to the dock no matter how you look at it?"

Fang Xuanling frowned in disbelief.

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

Water transportation is undoubtedly the only way that the Tang Dynasty relied on to transport bulk goods.

Grand Canal!

This great project built by the previous dynasty showed real value in Datang.

A grand canal is really a place where millions of canal workers are connected and where the wealth of the world flows.

If there was no Grand Canal in the Tang Dynasty, it would be really difficult to transport goods!

after all,

Carts and oxcarts transporting goods over long distances were simply wishful thinking.

It is reasonable to move around short distances, but to transport bulk goods over long distances, the cost is too high, the time is too long, and it is impossible to operate at all.

But it’s great inflammation!

They are really awesome! !

There are rivers in Dayan, but almost all of them run east-west, and almost none run north-south. Even if there are, they cannot support water transportation.

but!

Others have created a method that seems to be more convenient than water transportation.

"So much cargo cannot be handled by ordinary docks. What on earth is this Yanchi Road?"

"It can transport goods and pull people. Could it be said that it is a ship on land?"

Cheng Yaojin was also shocked.

"Perhaps, Your Majesty, this Yan Chi Road is more important than we thought, and it is also... more terrifying!"

Pei Ji said in a daze.

"Let's go, hurry up! Go to the Yanchi Road stop!"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and spoke to urge.

He really couldn't wait to take a look and see what this Yanchi Road site looked like.

like,

They had completely underestimated the role of Yanchi Dao!

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

Could it be that,

Is there a pier next to the Yanchi Road station?

otherwise,

Yan Chi said, how can it have such a large carrying capacity?

Unbelievable!

Everyone was at a loss.

The speed of the carriage became faster again, but because there were too many people, even if it was faster, it would not be much faster.

Queen Changsun is in the carriage in the middle.

Compared to Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin and their carriage, she was much more relaxed.

"This Great Flame is really lush, and the people's faces are full of enthusiasm to live and work in peace and contentment. Look, and the relative density of these goods, I guess even Chang'an can't compare."

"And... this is just a small Qingzhou capital. If it is Taiyuan or Yanyun City, then... I can't even imagine it."

"With such a developed trade, Dayan's tax revenue must be indispensable!"

Queen Changsun couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, my dear."

"I heard... slaves and maidservants in Dayan are equal no matter what they are. Scholars, peasants, industrialists and merchants have the same status. It is said that they are all for the purpose of building Dayan."

The maid couldn't help but mention it.

Queen Changsun’s eyes twinkled.

"This Emperor Dayan is indeed an outstanding person."

"It's really not easy for him to take this step. If he didn't have a strong hand, he wouldn't have been able to do it."

"In our Tang Dynasty, the ranking of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce cannot be shaken. The court is still suppressing commerce and trade. Craftsmen and so on are still in low status and cannot participate in the imperial examination. Alas..."

"The Tang Dynasty seems to be completely unable to keep up with the Great Yan. What's ridiculous is that our imperial examination has been required for two years, but until now there hasn't been much substantial progress."

"Even if Great Yan keeps importing books, there is nothing he can do."

"Your Majesty and the others should really learn from Dayan. Treating the people better is better than anything else. Being kind to the people may be the solution to the current predicament."

"Dayan can be as strong as it is today because it fully mobilized the power of the people, and the people gave back to Dayan. Look, we came all the way yesterday, and the mental state of the people of Dayan is extremely positive."

"They all feel proud that they are the people of Dayan, and they also take action to protect Dayan. If we, the people of Datang, can do the same, will Datang still lose? Will Qingzhou still lose?"

Queen Changsun shook her head.

It was like opening up the conversation box and speaking many true words.

And how dare the maid reply to these words.

Queen Changsun said it was okay. If she said that, it would be a matter of losing her head.

Subsequently.

Queen Changsun looked out the window at the passers-by and sighed helplessly.

At this time, the carriage seemed to slow down again.

Queen Changsun looked outside.

original,

Qingzhou City, Yanchi Road stop has arrived.

Outside the Yanchi Road site.

The heads are like a tidal wave.

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

Entrance.

Exit.

Entry port.

Shipping port.

PARKING LOT.

Ticket Office.

There is even a Gong room.

….….….….….….

All the functional labels are extremely clear and understandable at a glance.

Front,

Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling and Pei Ji have all come down.

The car was placed in the parking lot.

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

Simply register, sign in, and you're good to go.

When you come, you only need to make a deposit and confirm it. Once the payment is completed, you can take it away.

Extremely convenient.

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

"It doesn't seem to be anything unique, it's just larger in area."

Fang Xuanling walked to Qingzhou Station and said with a smile.

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