"road!"
Xia Tian proudly stood on the carriage shaft: "Horses can gallop on this road to their heart's content, the carriage rides on it without bumps, and the road is not muddy when it rains or snows. It is the best official road in the world!"
"It is also the best official system on this continent!"
Looking at the road, the third prince thought thoughtfully: "Brother Prince, are the materials for road construction the same as those for building buildings?"
"same!"
Xia Tian pointed to both sides of the road: "Both sides of the road are made of stones quarried from the mountains, which ensures that the road will not collapse. There are also ditches on both sides of the road, which ensures that the road does not accumulate water and the shoes of passers-by do not get wet!"
“What a wonderful design!”
The eyes of the three princes brightened!
The third prince also asked: "Then there is no snow on the road. Is it cleaned every day?"
"yes!"
"We have a dedicated maintenance team that divides this road into countless sections, and each section is specially managed by someone!"
"Brother Prince, is the person who plows the snow supported by the Huangzhou Palace?"
"yes!"
"Wouldn't that cost a lot of money?"
"certainly!"
"Does your Huangzhou Prince have so much money?"
Xia Tian patiently explained: "This money does not need to be paid by Huangzhou Prince's Palace!"
The third prince was stunned: "Where did it come from?"
"We collect taxes on carriages and horses between cities. Except for the carriages and horses of the army, all other carriages and horses must collect tax money!"
"Then, use this money to repair this road and feed people!"
"clever!"
The eyes of the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince brightened up, and their horizons and outlook instantly opened up!
So clever that they were convinced!
At this time.
"Da da da......"
The horse pulling the cart began to jog, its hooves were brisk and the sound of the horse's hooves was crisp and clear, with the sound of steel!
The third prince stared at the horse's hooves and finally asked: "Brother Prince, did the carriage just change horses?"
"yes!"
"What's under the horse's hooves?"
"secret!"
The third prince seemed to be covered by the air, and said resentfully: "There are so many secrets in Huangzhou!"
"You really can't tell?"
"Did not say!"
The second prince, third prince, and fifth prince had no choice but to give up and turn their attention to both sides of the official road!
Xia Tian introduced: "Brothers, please take a look. To our left is the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Huangzhou. The continuous green mountains are thousands of miles long. There are many strange peaks in the mountains, like crawling beasts. The scenery is beautiful, and the Huangzhou Dragon Vein is inside!"
"The Rebirth Sect was entrenched in the mountains back then, and the lone killing dragon was also in the mountains!"
"At the same time, many specialties of Huangzhou are also produced in the mountains!"
"In addition, there are countless cottages in the mountains, and there are also foreign races who have submitted to me, Daxia!"
Xia Tian pointed to the right again: "Brothers, please look at the right side. This side is the Huangzhou Plain, a flat grassland that was slaughtered by the Sirius Empire for decades. Before Gu Mei won the Huangzhou War, this grassland Every year, it is the scorched earth trampled by the Sirius army!"
"If it weren't covered in heavy snow now, you could still see the traces left by the war!"
"There are still bloodstains on a lot of the ground!"
The second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince looked around. They saw mountains with peaks on the left and flat mountains on the right, all covered with snow. The sky and the earth were vast, with no people and no houses!
"How desolate it is!"
The third prince looked at the empty world and sighed: "Huangzhou is indeed a barbaric, poor, and remote place!"
"On the left side, there are high mountains and dangerous roads, making it impossible to grow crops. On the right side, there is a bloody land burning with wars, making it impossible to grow crops. Feeding people is even harder than climbing to the sky!"
"yes!"
The second prince continued to sigh: "So it is understandable for Brother Wang to bring millions of refugees here to kill him!"
"The sky is high here and the emperor is far away, and it has been a place of exile since ancient times. Killing those refugees here will not cause anyone to notice. It will also prevent news from reaching the Central Plains, and it will not damage the holy name of the prince's younger brother!"
"The prince's younger brother's methods are really clever!"
The third prince and the fifth prince silently nodded in agreement!
summer:"......"
At this time.
Du Jun, who was accompanying him, felt that the veins in his forehead continued to beat wildly, and his head hurt even more!
Do these three princes have the kind of... persecution delusion that His Highness the Prince said?
Hey, bear with me any longer!
Then leave them speechless!
At this moment, the third prince stood behind Xia Tian, feeling the smoothness of the official road in Huangzhou, pointing to the green pines on the mountain and saying: "Brother Prince, is there any poem that can match this feeling and scene?"
"have!"
In the summer, I feel something in my heart: "The heavy snow is pressing down on the green pines, and the pines are straight and straight. You must know that the pines are noble and pure until the snow melts."
“What a poem!”
The three princes cheered together: "What a poet who writes about people. If you want to know the height and purity of the pine tree, you have to wait until the snow melts to see the full picture!"
"This poem fits both the mood and the occasion!"
"but......"
The third prince frowned and looked at Xia Tian with strange eyes: "Brother Prince, are you using this poem to imply something?"
Xia Tian is noncommittal!
He used the poem to tell the three princes that if they want to know whether the refugees have been killed, they can wait until they actually enter the hinterland of the deserted state to see!
This is just the edge of the deserted state!
Of course there is nothing!
"Da da da......"
The motorcade kept moving forward, because the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince were riding in the wasteland with them. Concubine Qin, Sima Lan and others were chatting happily in another carriage, so they did not ride together!
Finally, the team turned around the foot of a mountain.
suddenly.
Neat and beautiful villages appeared in the eyes of the second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince!
It has blue bricks and red tiles with uniform specifications. They all have small courtyards with landscape trees planted. At first glance, they look like Jiangnan courtyards, but the architectural style is more rugged!
Not only that, every village has a clean and wide village road connecting it with the official road. Some villages stand on the edge of Shiwanda Mountain, and some are scattered in the Huangzhou Plain. They are built along the flat official road, and they are built into the distance. The end of the sight of the three princes!
Shocking!
Endless shock!
This is a beautiful village that the second, third, and fifth princes have never seen before!
The scale and momentum are so unique, like a miracle!
And, these are not empty villages!
At this moment, villagers were standing at the entrance of each village. Although the clothes they wore were not silk and satin, they were washed clean and very thick. They looked very warm. Everyone was in high spirits and looked at the convoy. The eyes are full of adoration!
No numbness!
The three princes were even more shocked!
At this time.
The convoy drove to the first village entrance!
"Welcome His Royal Highness home!"
The village chief led the villagers with their hands clasped in fists, their faces filled with reverence: "Your Highness, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
"No gift!"
"yes!"
The villagers all stood up straight, with standard military postures, even the children!
The second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince seemed to see an army, an army of old, weak, women and children!
The shock in their hearts intensified!
What kind of village is this?
Who are these people?
finally.
The third prince couldn't help but ask: "Brother Prince, are they the aborigines of Huangzhou?"
"no!"
Xia Tian finally realized the suffocation in his heart, pointed at the villagers and said: "They are the refugees from Kyushu that all the kings mentioned... who have been killed alone!"
"Now we are villagers in Huangzhou!"
"What?"
The second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince looked in disbelief: "This is impossible!"
"This is absolutely impossible..."
