"The auxiliary machinery is definitely a matter of horse-drawn carriages. This road has never been repaired."
"Sure enough, everything in the Prince Chu's Mansion is of high quality and wonderful!"
Du Ruhui sighed.
Wei Zheng nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, this carriage is really comfortable to sit in. It feels like you are floating on the carriage. Old sir, has His Royal Highness the King of Chu improved this carriage?"
Wei Zheng looked at the old man.
Empress Changsun and Li Shimin also looked at the old man.
Li Shimin frowned a little.
However, he was not thinking about what happened to the carriage, but how to steal it later.
He also saw it.
This carriage is amazing!
The old man laughed, shook his head and said, "Well, please don't ask me."
"Your Majesty, the Queen, this carriage was already there when I came. Frankly speaking, I don't know what's going on."
The words fell.
Everyone was a little disappointed, but even more curious.
Li Shimin nodded and replied: "That's it. In that case, then... Li Junxian, send the old gentleman back to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, and then we will bring the carriage to the imperial city."
"I'll let the craftsmen there take a look and learn from the mold to make one."
"Of course, don't worry, old gentleman, I will pay it back. When it is ready, I will definitely return it to the Prince of Chu's Mansion."
Li Shimin did not forget to guarantee.
The old man took a deep look at him, raised his thumb and finger, gestured to Li Shimin, and said: "Niubi, Niupi, your Majesty, forgive me for speaking frankly, it is unprecedented for the emperor to be in your position."
As soon as these words came out.
Not to mention Li Shimin, even Queen Changsun, who was sitting next to Li Shimin, looked a little hot.
this……
Shame on you! !
She didn't say anything, and just started playing with the little Sizi.
"Ahem..."
Li Shimin was a little embarrassed.
"Over there, auxiliary engine, open the window, why is it so hot?"
Li Shimin stared at Xu Han who rushed out and yelled at Changsun Wuji.
When Changsun Wuji opened the window, he sat next to him and looked out the alley window, no longer looking at the old man.
The weather in late summer is very nice.
sunny.
The wind has gradually picked up.
The heat seems to be disappearing.
In fact, it can already be called early autumn. Autumn is coming.
On both sides of the road, only the golden poles of the large crops were left, and the fruits on them had been completely wiped out by the locust swarm not long ago.
"Hey... the people are going to suffer a lot this year."
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but sigh.
"Who says otherwise? Fortunately, our court can still hold on. Let's wait until next year. When the sweet potatoes are planted next year, we will be able to recover and the people can live and work in peace and contentment."
Du Ruhui's voice was also a little low.
When they talked about this, their hearts became a little gloomy.
A natural disaster.
The harm to the people is still too great.
"Don't be in a hurry. Just wait. When sweet potatoes become more popular, I believe people's lives will get better."
Queen Changsun comforted her from the side.
sweet potato.
Hearing this name, Li Shimin and the others nodded silently.
It seems that I can only rely on sweet potatoes.
"Yes, Your Majesty, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty is not far away." Wei Zheng also agreed.
"Yes, that's right, Your Majesty, my rule in the Tang Dynasty will definitely surpass all previous dynasties! I have a hunch!" Cheng Yaojin said with eyes widening.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.
But at this time, the old man next to him squinted his eyes and looked at the blue sky outside the car window.
"Your Majesty, His Highness once said something to the old man. Do you want to hear it?"
Li Shimin was shocked.
What did King Chu say? !
That’s interesting! !
"explain!"
Li Shimin looked at the old man deeply.
Queen Changsun, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others also looked at the old man.
The old man ignored them, but still looked at the sky, smiled, and said slowly: "Your Highness, he once said that when people prosper, people suffer, and when they die, people suffer."
After the words fell, there was silence in the carriage!
Li Shimin's childishness is extremely shrinking! !
this……
silence.
After a long time.
"Old sir, what's the explanation?!"
Du Ruhui spoke slowly, his voice a little heavy.
The old man moved his body and leaned his head gently in the carriage.
"His Highness has said that no matter which dynasty, whether it is prosperous or failed, the people will always suffer. When a dynasty rises, it must carry out large-scale construction and build gorgeous palaces. It is difficult for the people! When a dynasty perishes or declines, wars break out, and the people also suffer. Disaster!"
The corners of Li Shimin's eyes trembled slightly.
His heart was also twitching.
Well, the people are suffering! !
Death. The people are suffering! !
Did that brat say this?
Ashamed!
Hahaha……
In his heart, this brat cares about the people of the world, but here he is trying to catch his carriage?
This pattern...
Li Shimin smiled bitterly.
As an emperor, it seems that what he has done is not as good as the king of Chu, who has done everything for the world.
Li Shimin finally sighed and nodded.
"King Chu...that's well said."
"In prosperity, the people suffer! In death, the people suffer! Such awareness and understanding, even I can't compare to it!!"
"Great talent, great talent!!"
"But... I don't know what this brat would do if he was in this kind of situation, and what he wants to do."
Li Shimin squinted his eyes, his eyes slightly filled with emotion, extremely deep emotion.
Empress Changsun gently rubbed Xiao Sizi's head and looked at the sky outside the car window. Suddenly, she felt a little scared and said carefully.
"Kuan'er has great ambitions, but he is a bit young after all. I am afraid that he will go astray."
Changsun Wuji shook his head, his eyes were solemn, his voice was low, and he said slowly: "No, absolutely not. Queen, just don't worry."
"Looking at what His Highness the King of Chu has done in the past, His Highness the King of Chu has not exposed any of his private money, and you can know that His Highness the King of Chu is extremely safe. If His Majesty had not found His Highness the King of Chu's private money, or a lot more, when these come out By the time, His Royal Highness King Chu’s arrangements have been completely completed!!”
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is doing it for the world, for the people, and for the Tang Dynasty. How could he go astray?!"
Changsun Wuji said.
Du Ruhui nodded, and then agreed: "Yes, don't worry, everything His Royal Highness the King of Chu does is for the people. As long as there is no deviation in this, there is nothing wrong!"
"With His Highness the King of Chu in our Tang Dynasty, it can be said that God has given us a treasure from the Tang Dynasty! With His Highness the King of Chu protecting us, we in the Tang Dynasty will definitely be able to reach the top!!"
Du Ruhui said and clenched his fists.
His words were solemn.
What he said was extremely sincere.
"Yeah..." Wei
Wei Zheng swallowed his saliva and said with emotion: "At such a young age, he can say such words of great wisdom as the prosperity of the people is suffering and the suffering of the people is suffering. The so-called wrong path is nothing but plain ground for His Highness the King of Chu."
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu can definitely control it freely! On this point, Queen, you don't have to worry! I admire His Highness the King of Chu's wise words!"
Wei Zheng also guaranteed it.
After he finished speaking, there was some silence in the carriage.
Everyone was silent.
They were deep in thought.
Empress Changsun smiled and knew that what they said was correct and that her worries were just wishful thinking.
Look at the sweet potatoes, look at printing, look at those grains, and these horseshoes today...
How deep Kuan'er hides, his scheming must be dark and forbearing.
It also represents extreme intelligence.
Crossroads? !
For Kuan'er, it does not exist.
The carriage swayed slightly and moved forward.
The old man looked around, climbed out of the carriage, and sat outside with Li Junxian, who was controlling the carriage.
After a while, the carriage stopped.
Stopped in front of a village.
"Your Majesty, we're here, get out of the car."
The old man said.
With that said, he had already jumped down.
Li Junxian quickly opened the car curtain, and Li Shimin couldn't wait to bow and walk out. He looked at the unfamiliar place in front of him. Everything was new.
Queen Changsun, Xiao Sizi, Princess Changle, and Changsun Wuji also jumped out of the carriage.
"What is this place?" Li Shimin asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, this is the suburb of Wannian County, not far or near from Chang'an."
Li Junxian quickly revealed the location.
"This village is called Pork Village. It is a place where His Highness can order to feed pigs. Your Majesty, let's go. I will take you to have a look."
The old housekeeper clapped his hands and walked leisurely forward.
The sun is no longer poisonous now, and the sun is warm, which is just right on my body.
A place dedicated to feeding pigs? !
Li Shimin and the others hurriedly followed, curious in their hearts.
This kind of large-scale pig farming is probably only done by the King of Chu in the whole world! !
I don’t know, how about raising these pigs on a large scale? !
Is it similar to raising cattle and sheep? !
They could imagine herds of cattle and sheep in their minds. On large tracts of grassland, herds of cattle and sheep grazed happily in groups.
So……
Could it be that if pigs are raised on a large scale, they will just be groups of piglets rolling around in open fields and crops? !
The picture was so beautiful that it was almost unimaginable.
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, but he became more and more expectant.
Not only him, but Queen Changsun and others started looking around after entering Zhuangzi.
"Taoist Master, you are here."
When the old man walked in, someone immediately greeted him.
He was an old man, he looked to be in his fifties or sixties, but he was still polite to the old man.
"Well, here we come."
The old man nodded slightly, smiled at the man and said: "Old Liutou, I brought them to see His Highness's pig farm. How are the piggies doing now?!"
"Don't worry, Taoist Master. Everything is normal and they are growing vigorously. Hahaha... In a few days, they will be ready for mass production."
Old Liu Tou responded extremely excitedly.
"Really? Well, let's go."
The old man laughed, seemed a little excited, and turned his head. He said to Li Shimin and others: "This is the first large-scale slaughter of pork from our pig farm, which means that it can be sold in the city."
"Your Majesty, Queen, you came at the right time."
The old man smiled happily.
When Old Liu Tou next to him heard the old man's words, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and quickly turned around to salute Li Shimin and Queen Changsun.
He never expected that the legendary His Majesty and Queen would actually be present in person.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."
Li Shimin quickly reached out his hand and stopped him.
Then, he said: "I don't need to be so polite. I just want to see King Chu's so-called pig farm. I would like to ask you to lead the way."
"Chengchengcheng! Your Majesty, hahaha... It would be great if you came. His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not in Chang'an now. When it comes to the market, please let your Majesty promote our pork. After all... this pork is good. The reputation is a bit unpleasant."
"but……."
Old Liu Tou was a little excited and beat his heart heavily with his hands.
"Bang bang bang!!"
That heart made an extremely hard sound.
"But, Your Majesty, please come and see me. Although I am already fifty or sixty years old, my body is no weaker than that of a young man. This is all due to the effect of pork!!"
"Your Highness, he once said that you need to eat more meat to grow into a good body. Your Majesty, please see..."
Old Liu Tou was excited and kept introducing the benefits of selling pork to Li Shimin.
He pointed at the Zhuang people on both sides of Zhuangzi Avenue.
There were many old people basking in the sun, and many children jumping around randomly on the street.
All the old people are in high spirits and in strong health.
As for the children, they are all leaping up and down, their faces are red, and their bodies are obviously in good shape at first glance, they are all chubby.
Even the people of Chang'an could not compare to this state.
Not to mention the villagers living outside Chang'an.
They are the foundation of the Tang Dynasty and the most difficult and fragile part of life in the Tang Dynasty.
Every time the refugees and disaster victims are almost always this group of people.
Li Shimin knew that their living conditions were very poor.
Changsun Wuji, Empress Changsun, and Du Ruhui all know that it is not easy for these people to survive, let alone nutrition.
However……
The people of this Zhuangzi are better than the people outside in all aspects!
And it’s much stronger! !
In fact, they are not weaker than those powerful and wealthy people in Chang'an City.
Especially small children.
These big, gurgling eyes were turning around, looking at their group of people, looking cute and cute, and extremely lively.
"How is your majesty? I am not bragging. We Zhuangzi can be in such a state, but it is thanks to pork. If it weren't for pork, we old people and children would definitely be the same kind of thin and shriveled, and we don't look energetic at all. No head at all.”
“But now, I feel like I could kill a cow!!”
"Not to mention, our young people in Zhuangzi. Your Majesty, if you look at it, you will definitely say that they are stronger than the soldiers of our Tang army! All this is thanks to His Highness the King of Chu's porky strategy!! "
"This pork is really good, I won't lie to you, it's true! And it tastes very delicious, with endless aftertaste!!"
When the father-in-law said it, his tone was really proud.
