Chapter 763
Huaihuang Town has been at peace for a long time since it made peace with the Turks.

When Shi Deyun returned to Huaihuang Town after being away for many years, he almost didn't recognize that the city in front of him was the former Huaihuang Town.Huaihuang Town is now divided into a new city and an old city. The old city is the old city built by Li Chongjiu more than ten years ago, while the new city was later rebuilt from the grass market.

On the side, Shi Liuyi, the head of Ruoshui Prefecture Governor General, introduced to Shi Deyun graciously: "The area of ​​the new city is three times that of the old city. The outer walls were originally built with ordinary wooden walls, but three years ago, they were rebuilt. The city wall was not only rammed with rammed earth, but even covered with bricks on the city wall.”

"Packing bricks?" Shi Deyun asked back, "It must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Liu Yi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there are not many. The brick covering of the outer wall is the request of the merchants in this town. Each merchant has donated a sum of money, and the imperial court also paid half of it, which will be paid in ten years."

After hearing this, Shi Deyun nodded and praised: "Mr. Liu, you are really a capable official. This is a good deal."

When he was in Huaihuang Town, Liu Yi was just a petty official, that's what Shi Deyun called him, and now he is calling him Mr. Liu, Liu Yi listened very kindly.

At present, Shi Deyun's car slowly enters the new city, but there is a lot of noise in the new city.

Shi Deyun looked at Liu Yi beside the car, but Liu Yi showed an embarrassed look and said, "No way, today is the tenth day that the Lin Family Chamber of Commerce opened in Huaihuang Town. The Lin Family Chamber of Commerce announced that all the inns and restaurants under its name, Brothels and goods shops, all visitors only need to pay [-]% of the original price to enter. Therefore, the number of people in Huaihuang Town these days has doubled compared to the usual big market. It is because the minister is not doing his job well, so he immediately sent People clean up."

Shi Deyun smiled and said: "It's okay, the more people there are, the more lively it is, I like more people, but I didn't expect it to be ten years so soon, I remembered ten years ago when I married the emperor. "

Shi Deyun watched the changes in the new city, and vaguely recalled the carefree days in Huaihuang Town.

Because it is a remodeled grass market, it is not as divided as a city in the past, and merchants directly open their shops on both sides of the street.
Shi Deyun looked around in a blink of an eye, but saw that on the streets of Xincheng, merchants from the Western Regions, Turks, Xi, Shiwei, Khitan, and Han people were crowded together, and the mules, horses, and camels carrying goods came one after another. In the team, the long camel bells came from the noisy crowd.

The whole street is full of people, which can be described as shoulder to shoulder.

On the warehouses on both sides of the street, customers shuttle like lanterns.Women wearing expensive Sichuan brocade linger in the clothing store, tailoring the cloth.In the sword industry, a majestic man is trying out weapons.

And in restaurants with all kinds of tastes from all over the world, every table is full, and you can hear everything in Chinese and Hu. Climbing straight up, the freshly baked buns are arranged one by one.

In addition to the beef and mutton on the grassland, kumiss, there are Han people's wontons, soup cakes, fish carp, and burnt humps on the table.

Regardless of Hu Han, even Khitan and Xi Ren, who had the deepest grievances on the grassland, sat at the same table, drinking and chatting.

Everyone was fisting and drinking at the wine table, occasionally arguing loudly about business matters, bargaining, and even drawing swords, but after the quarrel, everyone reconciled as before and drank wine together.Surrounded by beautiful orchids, everyone laughed happily and drank to their heart's content.

Looking at this scene, Shi Deyun's eyes suddenly felt a little wet. The life-and-death fights on the grassland for hundreds of years can't be seen here. Realized in the deserted town.Although what unites them is only the most vulgar copper coins, but even so is enough.

Shi Deyun came to Huaihuang Town this time just to meet her mother whom she hadn't seen for many years, that's all.Although Shi Deyun also wanted to take her elderly mother to live in Youjing, but her mother was not used to the life in Youjing. She Ningyuan and most of Xiren's tribe lived in Huaihuang Town together. town.

Shi Deyun was driving on the streets of Xincheng, Huaihuang Town, driving with difficulty, and the oncoming traffic was full of bustling people. Since she was only driving in an ordinary car, she did not attract much attention when entering the city, and was immediately blocked in the middle of the road.

The Tingwei in front of the car, whose patience was wiped out by the heavy traffic, shouted to the front: "Get out of the way!"

Huaihuang town is mixed with various ethnic groups, and the folk customs are extremely tough. Seeing that this line of business is obviously very well-known, the men in front are still not afraid, but stop in front and curse in various languages: "Just don't go, How about it?"

That Ting Wei got angry and directly drew out his knife and shouted: "Bold, do you even dare to stop the carriage of the imperial concubine?"

"Concubine?" These men were startled.

Someone said: "Could it be that our princess is back?"

"Yes, that's right, the princess is back."

Many people on the street were derided by people. When the Han people heard about it, they all flocked to the cars.

"Princess, you still miss us, you are finally back."

"We all thought we would never see the princess again in this lifetime."

Quite a few elderly people started to cry instead. Most of the people on the prairie were mild-mannered, and when they got emotional, many people actually shed tears in the street.

Shi Deyun knew that she couldn't avoid it, so when she stepped out of the car, the people in all directions were really Shi Deyun, they couldn't help cheering, bowing down from all sides, and the voices of seeing the princess were endless.

The people here are all upright people. They don't know what to say, but they just squeeze back and forth.
Shi Deyun had mixed feelings and couldn't help but shed tears, and said to the people around: "Yes, I'm back."

"Your Highness, you are going to the mansion, why are you blocking the way, get out of the way!"

As soon as the common people heard this, they spontaneously gave up a road before seeing the car driving.The people gathered on both sides of the road. Liu Yi had been an official in Huaihuang Town for many years, and this was the first time he had seen such a situation.Seeing the car driving forward, the Hu and Han people on both sides all paid their respects by the side of the road.

Shi Deyun was only halfway through, when he heard the ox horns on the four corners of the city head.The expressions of the people in the city changed. Huaihuang Town has been at peace for a long time, and it has been many years since they heard the alarm.

A barbarian shouted angrily, "Who would have the guts to plan on our Huaihuang Town?"

"Probably just a horse thief."

"Maybe it's not good for the princess!"

"Yes, we swear to protect the princess to the death."

The barbarians and Han people on the street all spoke one after another, showing the sturdy folk customs.Everyone draws their swords, and those who draw their swords are impassioned.

Seeing this scene, Shi Deyun smiled slightly, but at this moment she had no fear at all, because this was her home.
