This wine was indeed a bit heady. When he first drank it, he didn't feel anything, but after he drank it in his stomach, the situation began to change.
Especially Liu Deng drinks ordinary fruit wine on weekdays and doesn't have much resistance to alcohol.
With random thoughts in his mind, Liu Deng actually fell asleep.
Shunzi had already prepared dinner, but as soon as he approached the carriage, he heard Liu Deng's thunderous snoring.
After being stunned for a moment, he immediately reacted and quietly opened the carriage and took a look. After confirming that Liu Deng was asleep, he covered Liu Deng with a thick fur and then closed the door again.
Anyway, the soldiers accompanying them were all veterans who had retired from the battlefield.
Of course they know what they should do when. There was no need for anyone to give orders at all, and the matter of setting up camp was already going on in an orderly manner.
There was no words for the whole night, and when Liu Deng opened his eyes again, it was already the morning of the next day.
"Why does this old car bump so hard?"
As soon as he opened his eyes, Liu Deng glared at Cao Wei with dissatisfaction.
"The land in Longxi is vast and sparsely populated, and the Huns have often invaded the border over the years. The people here are living a very poor life. Naturally, the local government does not have the extra people to repair the roads. Your Highness, Prince Dai, should bear with it! "
After Cao Wei finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Dai Guo was in the same situation before Liu Deng came to power.
"This is not a problem of the people. It is obviously a problem of the government. If the roads are not repaired and business routes are blocked, how can the people become rich?"
Liu Deng stretched for a long time and then stood up energetically.
After stopping the carriage, he simply washed up on the side of the road.
He even knew that his own king had something to eat, so he didn't prepare the food from the army.
He just brought some of the snacks he had brought with him, and then a bowl of millet porridge, which was regarded as Liu Deng's breakfast.
After a hasty meal, Liu Deng finally felt much better.
Looking at the increasingly desolate scenery outside the car window and the abandoned farmhouses, Liu Deng felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Everyone knows that the Qin soldiers endured a hard battle, but who knows that out of ten rooms in Guanzhong there are no men...
It's no wonder that in the previous life, the Han Dynasty maintained a humiliating policy of peace and marriage to the outside world. This was of course because it couldn't be defeated.
On the other hand, isn't it also because people's lives are too difficult...
If conditions permit, which emperor is willing to endure that kind of humiliation?
"The grain output here in Longxi is extremely low, and coupled with the constant harassment by the Huns, the people are having a hard time. If His Highness, Prince Dai, has any good ideas, you might as well talk to the local officials at that time!"
Looking at the desolate scenery outside the window, Cao Wei also took a deep breath and whispered.
"This kind of thing requires long-term management. It can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences. By the way, let someone call Yuan An over! We are almost there, and it's time to have a good talk with him. Let’s talk!”
"Then you talk to him first, and I'll go back to see how the old god is doing. He drank so much last night, and I don't know if his body can bear it. If it doesn't work, I'll give it to him. Just drink some hangover soup!"
Seeing that Liu Deng was about to do business here, Cao Wei simply made an excuse and walked out.
Liu Deng didn't stop him. After all, there were some things that were hard to say in his presence.
"Your Highness, do you have anything to do with me?"
After being tortured all this way, the pride in Yuan An's body has long since disappeared.
Now Yuan Ang's face was full of dust, and his whole body was so haggard that he almost seemed to be lumped together. It was simply because it was too cold.
In addition, he is really unpopular in the team. If it weren't for the fact that he brought an old servant with him, no one would even pay attention to him even if he wanted to drink water at night.
"How did you do it so badly?"
Seeing Yuan An's current appearance, even Liu Deng was shocked.
This is really not because he asked knowingly, but because Yuan An, an old boy, just refused to get on the carriage at first.
But later, after leaving Chang'an City, he regretted it, but by that time it was already too late. If Liu Deng hadn't called him over, this old boy would probably still be cowering on the horse.
When he heard Liu Deng's words, Yuan An almost cried.
After all, wasn't it all because of this kid on the first day?
Isn't it uncomfortable for me to be in the presence of a good imperial censor?
As long as he writes in Chang'an City every day, he can enjoy high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
And the most important thing is that it doesn't matter even if you say the wrong thing. After all, that's what being a censor is all about.
Isn't this kind of thing their best shield?
Just because of Liu Deng's words, I followed Liu Deng all the way to Longyou, a ghost place where rabbits don't even poop, to blow the cold wind.
"Okay, okay, don't look at me with that look! As an official of the imperial court, you should naturally be loyal to the imperial court. Now there is really no more suitable candidate than you in the whole court, so I recommend it. you!"
Seeing Yuan An's resentful eyes, Liu Deng couldn't stand it any longer, so he coughed quickly and said.
"If you put it this way, then the next step is to thank His Highness for your recommendation!"
"I said it's boring for you to say that, Lao Yuan. Okay, okay. Speaking of which, I do feel sorry for you, but don't you feel sorry for me?"
While Liu Deng was talking, he reached out and poured a bowl of wine for Yuan An.
Hearing what Liu Deng said, Yuan Ang really felt a little guilty. It seemed that he was the one who stabbed him first.
Especially at this time, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away on the way to the Xiongnu. If Liu Deng really wants to kill him, it doesn't seem to be too difficult.
"Okay, this matter has come to this point now. Let's not mention the previous matter. If you drink this bowl of wine, we will be cleared of all previous matters. How about that?"
As Liu Deng spoke, he put the wine bowl in front of Yuan Ang.
Because Liu Deng was drunk last night, Cao Wei was also drunk to the point of unconsciousness, and the soldiers did not have any good impression of Yuan An.
His diet is even more unreliable. The things that the old servant brought on the way here have long been frozen into lumps of ice. How can his church body get used to the things that the army eats? Since last night By now, he was so hungry that his heart was pressed to his back.
Smelling the intoxicating aroma of wine and the various snacks on the table, Yuan An swallowed hard.
