However, today's Wanhe Building has no customers, because Wu Wangfu has booked the entire restaurant as early as yesterday, and now the first floor is full of guards from the Wangfu, ordinary people dare not even approach the restaurant.In an elegant room facing the sea on the second floor, Empress Xiao and Xiao Yu sat on top, Princess Nanyang and Concubine Yang sat on both sides, followed by Li Ke, Li Yin and a group of juniors.

Empress Xiao and the others arrived in Shanghai two days ago. After taking a rest, Li Ke and Li Yin immediately asked Wanhelou to book a banquet. They also believed in this place. Second, the wharf here is the most lively and prosperous area in Shanghai. Standing on the upper floor, you can see the scene of thousands of boats racing outside the port, which can be described as a scene in Shanghai.

After Empress Xiao and Concubine Yang came to the restaurant, they were not in a hurry to eat, but walked to the entrance one by one, looking at the crowd below and the fleet in the distance, with gratified smiles on their faces.

"Jiumei, Ke'er really deserves to be the virtuous king praised by everyone. I heard that Shanghai was just a barren beach. I didn't expect it to become such a prosperous place in just one year, and most of the passers-by below looked pale. ’Ruby, it’s obvious that you don’t have to worry about food and drink, it’s just what you call benefiting one party, but that’s all!” Princess Nanyang, who was dressed in Taoist robes, first smiled at Concubine Yang.Li Ke who was next to him straightened up immediately when he heard his aunt's praise.Capital Datang 343

Concubine Yang was naturally full of joy when her sister praised her son.His eyes were smiling like two crescent moons, and he said modestly: "Sister" chapter is the most "don't praise him too much. Since Ke'er is the governor of a state, he naturally has the important task of benefiting the people, so these are what he should do."

At this moment, Empress Xiao, who was being supported by them, also laughed and said, "Jiu Niang, don't be modest. Ke'er has indeed done a good job. I see that Shanghai is full of vistas. If it is really built in the future, it will definitely be no worse than Chang'an and Luoyang!"

Empress Xiao lived in Yangzhou for a while, and with the company of Concubine Yang and Princess Nanyang, her mood has improved a lot. Although she may feel a little sad when she thinks of her husband and son occasionally, she is much better than before, and now she is in the mood to appreciate Take a look at the scenery of Shanghai.

At this moment.Li Yin took Cai'er by the hand and walked up to the second floor. There was a grilled octopus on the side opposite the building. Li Yin saw that Cai'er wanted to eat it very much, so he took her out and bought a few skewers. Yan, holding a few skewers of grilled octopus in his right hand, eating while walking, his little face is all greasy.

"Liulang, what did you bring Cai'er to buy? Why does it look so disgusting?" When Concubine Yang saw the weird-looking octopus in Cai'er's hand, especially those long tentacles, she was instinctively disgusted.

"Auntie, this thing is called octopus. I used to eat it when I was in Taiwan, but unfortunately it's hard to find fresh ones in Chang'an." Before Li Yin could speak, Cai'er replied with a smile.Although Cai'er is a bit precocious.But after all, he was still a child, compared to Queen Xiao who recovered.Now as long as she doesn't deliberately mention Yang Hao, she will be almost the same as before.

"Mother Concubine, this food is delicious, why don't you try it too?" Li Yin also said with a smile at this time.The last time he held a marine life exhibition in Chang'an, there were also octopuses in it, but they were bigger than humans, and what Cai'er was holding were all small octopuses, no wonder she couldn't recognize them.

"" As soon as Cai'er heard that her cousin asked her aunt to taste it, she immediately ran over and held the octopus in front of Concubine Yang for her to taste.But Concubine Yang looked at these octopuses with long tentacles, she couldn't say anything, but she couldn't refuse Cai'er's kindness, so she glared at Li Min angrily.

Fortunately, Empress Xiao saw Concubine Yang's embarrassment at this moment, she pulled Cai'er towards her with a smile and said, "Cai'er, let grandma have a taste, okay?"

When Cai'er heard that her grandmother wanted to eat it, she was naturally excited and brought the roast to Empress Xiao's mouth alone. Empress Xiao smiled and tasted it, and felt that although the appearance of the food was a bit strange, the taste was not bad, so she immediately "touched" it Looking at Cai'er's head, he smiled and said, "This octopus tastes good, no wonder Cai'er likes to eat it!"

When Cai'er saw what her grandmother said, her little face immediately turned into a flower, and she said happily, "Not only Cai'er likes to eat this octopus, but even my father likes it..."

When Cai'er said this, she suddenly froze, and the smile on her face disappeared.Empress Xiao's expression also darkened, and both grandparents and grandchildren thought of Yang Hao again.Seeing this situation, Xiao Yu who was next to him immediately changed the topic and said, "Sanlang, I'm a little hungry, let's order some food and drink."

As soon as Li Ke heard it, he understood immediately, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring the banquet that had been prepared. The Sun couple also knew that today is the family banquet held by King Wu and King Qi here. This is a rare and good opportunity, so they will Famous chefs from several restaurants in the city were all seconded at high prices. Although the level of banquets was not as good as in Chang'an, it was better in terms of dishes, many of which were not found in the Guanzhong area.

It was rare that all the younger generations in the family gathered together, and Empress Xiao recovered very well. The family sat together talking and laughing, but it also dispelled the sadness before "Capital Tang Chapter 340 Chapter [-] Shanghai lacks one thing".Li Yin also deliberately asked Cai'er to sit between him and Wen Xin, and the two made some jokes while serving her vegetables, which quickly restored Cai'er's lively and cheerful temperament.

The topic of the public inevitably turned to the construction of Shanghai City. Speaking of which, Li Ke and Li Yin jointly built this city. Shanghai City.Concubine Yang and Empress Xiao were also very happy. After all, no matter what happens in the future, the names of Li Yin and Li Yin will definitely be passed down to future generations with this Shanghai city.Even Xiao Yu, who is the most rigid, stroked his beard and smiled. As a veteran in the political arena, he knew very well that the political and economic significance represented by this city of Shanghai can be achieved by Li Ke and his wife after the completion of the city's construction. Li Yin's political and economic strength will undoubtedly rise to a higher level in China, which is what he is most interested in.

"Grandmother, the city of big cousin is very lively, but there is one thing missing." When everyone was praising Shanghai, Cai'er suddenly spoke again.

"Oh? What's missing?" Empress Xiao saw that Cai'er had finally regained her vivacity, and a loving smile appeared on her face.Others also looked at Cai'er.

Cai'er smiled and said: "I saw that there is a train in Dengzhou City of Second Cousin, which can run without horses and cows, and can pull hundreds of people at once, which is fun, but Big Cousin doesn't have it here. "

As soon as Cai'er mentioned the train, everyone showed expressions of sudden realization. When they passed Dengzhou, although they were very sad because of Yang Hao's death, they were all impressed by the black smoke of the car .Capital Datang 343

"When Cai'er said that, I remembered it. This Shanghai is a city. If the train is also placed in the city "Capital Datang", it will indeed be a very convenient object!" Empress Xiao also laughed when she heard it.Although she is a "female" woman, she has extraordinary insights and has long seen the important role of trains. Shanghai is not like an old city like Chang'an and Luoyang. Shanghai, which is under construction, can definitely build some lanes and use trains throughout the city Connected together, this will make Shanghai Plus more convenient.

Li Yin and Li Ke were both taken aback when they heard it. It is understandable that Li Ke did not expect this, but Li Yin, a later generation, did not expect this, so he is a little bit forgiven.But it's not entirely Li Yin's fault. First, the train has just been put into use, so there are various shortcomings. Second, Li Yin has been too busy recently, and Luo and Baekje's affairs have not yet After dealing with it, he ran to Yangzhou. How could he bother to think about it?

"Thank you grandma and Cai'er for reminding me. This is an excellent suggestion. After the banquet, I will ask people to make some changes to the roads in the city. As for the train, Liu Lang, you have no problem, right?" Li Ke said excitedly. .Shanghai City is his painstaking effort, so he naturally wants to make it perfect. If it is true that people in the city can travel by train, it will not only make life in the city easier, but also become a special feature of Shanghai. A little bit can attract many people to live in the city.

"Of course there is no problem with the train, but third brother, you have to be mentally prepared in advance!" Li Yin was also very excited at first, but then thought of another problem, and couldn't help but said with a wry smile.

"Why, what's the problem with Liu Lang?" Seeing Li Yin's appearance, Empress Xiao asked in puzzlement, she was the one who brought up the matter, so she was naturally very concerned.

"To tell my grandmother, there is no difficulty, but the train has a disadvantage, that is, it needs to burn coal, and the black smoke from it floats in the air, which will make the air a bit dirty, but there is no way." Century" is no way, then It is necessary to grow some vegetation, which can remove the pollution in the air, so if the third brother wants to use the train in Shanghai, he must plan the city in advance and plant some trees!" Li Yin replied.

After hearing this, Li Ke felt relieved, pointed at Li Yin and said with a smile, "Liu Lang, you startled me, why did you prepare for it? Isn't it just some trees? These are easy to handle. I will just let me set aside some space at that time." gone."

Concubine Yang and the others were all very curious about trains, and then you asked Li Yin about trains one by one, but Li Yin didn't know what to say, and even explained the principle of the steam engine. I am amazed, I didn't expect that a small steam has such great power.

When it came to the end, Li Yin stood up proudly and said: "In fact, the train is just a way of using the steam engine, but this way of using it is enough to change the world. Since the third brother is going to build Shanghai into a city connected by trains, then I can't fall behind either, Taiwan Island is also under construction, and I plan to connect the entire island with a train, so that I can travel all over the island by train."

Hearing her cousin's plan for Taiwan, Cai'er immediately clapped her hands and jumped up to applaud, that is the place where she was born, Cai'er naturally hoped that Taiwan would get better and better.Empress Xiao's heart moved, Taiwan is the place where her son Yang Wei has lived for decades, why don't she take a walk on the island while she is free now?To be continued. )
