Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Master, you are very lucky."

"Blessed are you all, hahaha" Defang said, "Old man, then go back quickly, we will continue to walk, so we won't bother you."

"Okay, please please." The two old people and their children and grandchildren saluted. Defang and the others returned the salute and continued walking. Concubine Di sat on the carriage and opened the side window. Those peasant households are farming together with a whole family, old and young. Just now, that family spoke and behaved very politely. It seems that the officials of Yongcheng are indeed governing well, and the people nearby must live in affluence. worry."

"What Ma'am said is." Defang nodded, "There is a passage of Guan Zhong's words in the historical records written by Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty, which is very appropriate at this time."

"Master, what did Guan Zhong say?"

"The granary knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing is enough to know the honor and disgrace." Defang said, "The common people don't ask for much, they have enough food and clothing, and there is no struggle for stability. That's enough."

"My lord, it would be great if the people in the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty could be like that family just now."

"Yes, as long as the northern border and northwest can be stabilized, the people there will also live a prosperous life."

The eight people in Defang walked along the official road, Ling'er wanted to eat some snacks, so they stopped for a short rest, Ke'er distributed rice cakes and round cakes to Jiajun and the others, Baili was tying the reins of the carriage to the side of the road On the tethering stone, Defang took rice cakes and walked to Baili, "Baili, here."

Baili quickly wiped his hands and said, "Thank you, master, you brought it for the little one yourself."

"What's the point of bringing it yourself?" Defang smiled, "Baili, try this rice cake and see if it's delicious."

"Yeah." Baili took a bite and said with a smile, "Master, this is really delicious. It's much better than the ones in the capital. Master, please try it."

"Baili" Defang looked at him, "Look at this rice cake, remember the sugar cake?"

"Tang cake?" Baili looked blank

"I remember the first time you and I met. I was hungry. I went to the dining room and saw a small pancake. I reached for it but was hit on the head by the plate. Baili, you helped me up and took out a piece of deflated sugar cake. Feed me bit by bit, I don't think any delicious candy can compare to the one you gave me."

Baili rubbed his head and smirked, "The small piece of candy is too small, and it's all crushed, so it's not tasty."

"It's delicious, very sweet." Defang nodded, "Because there is not only sugar in the sugar cake, but also Baili's kindness. I have tasted it all, thank you Baili."

"My lord, you..." Baili was about to cry when he heard that

"Okay, okay," Defang said quickly, "I'm just talking, don't cry, let Madam think something is wrong when she sees it."

"Yeah." Baili took a few deep breaths, "My lord, you always say a few words of emotion suddenly, I can't bear it."

Defang said softly, "Okay, I'll change it, hehehe, this is a secret between you and me, even Madam doesn't know."

"Madam knows she will laugh at you."

"You guy." Defang smiled, "Don't call me wrong again, pay attention to the address, call it master."

"Yes, sir"

"Father!" Ling'er called out, "You come to eat and drink some water too."

"Okay, dad is coming." Defang patted Baili, turned around and walked over, the group continued on the road after resting, and arrived at Heitugang smoothly. Defang said, "You don't need to ask about this store, you can find it just by following the scent, hehehe"

A few people stopped in front of the small shop, and there were already seven or eight people waiting to buy steamed buns. Defang said, "Those who knew it were a steamed stuffed bun shop, but those who didn't know thought it was a wine shop, shop owner! The steamed stuffed buns are so delicious!"
