Chapter 615 Luoyang trip

15 years!This was Li Er's first time stepping into Luoyang, and the impression of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood was too deep.Seeing the city wall after the knife and axe, Li Er closed his eyes in pain.He has seen so many layers of corpses piled up under the city wall, and behind each trace may be a soul.

Entering Luoyang, Li Er opened the car curtain to look at the street outside.When he entered Luoyang, the whole Luoyang was almost in ruins.When passing the T-junction, Zhu Can seemed to be here, torn to pieces by the angry crowd.

"Has Your Majesty remembered what happened back then? After so many years, the people of Luoyang have also lived a stable life. You don't have to keep it in your mind!" After many years of husband and wife, the eldest grandson has evolved into a roundworm in Li Er's stomach.Among the three thousand beauties in the harem, Concubine Yang and Concubine Yin are all stunning in the world.It is not unreasonable for the eldest grandson to be the eldest sister here and stand tall for more than ten years.

"I can't do anything about what happened back then. I couldn't do it by force. Thousands of soldiers were killed and injured every day. Dou Jiande was eyeing Hebei again. He wanted to capture the city without causing too many casualties, so he could only rely on the siege. Wang Shichong was besieged. , but the people in Luoyang City have suffered.”

"The world is united, and there is no bloodshed. The sage said well, after the chaos, there will be great order. This disaster was provoked by Wang Shichong, and it was put to rest in the hands of His Majesty. Now the people of Luoyang are safe and secure under the wings of His Majesty." Live your life. You are not responsible for this crime, on the contrary! From my own point of view, you have immeasurable merit!"

"I didn't see you chanting Buddha, why did you talk about the words of Buddhism." Li Er hugged his eldest grandson dotingly, and there was a reassuring person when he was worried.It is indeed a great blessing for a man to have such a wife in his life.

"It's just that the word fits the occasion. Take a look at the house in front of you. I would bet that this is the property of the Yun family." The eldest grandson pointed to a place outside the window.

Li Er followed his eldest grandson's fingers and saw a wall.The wall is not high, that is, chest height.An old man can jump over it!But Li Er felt that no one would dare to do this, because there were tall coniferous cypresses planted behind the fence.The branches of this kind of book are like needles, and it is uncomfortable to pierce the skin.Don't even think about it, there must be prickly pears planted under the coniferous cypress.

This thing has grown into a green ball, and it is full of spikes, which makes people frightened.There was no such thing in the Central Plains before, so Yun Hao just got it from the desert in the Western Regions.I don't know why such an ugly thing is called a prickly pear.The same is true of the house his family built in Chang'an. Those chest-high walls are just decorations.When the coniferous cypress grows taller, the fence will be demolished.Yun Hao also said that the houses built by the Yun family don't need walls, and there are no thieves.

No fucking wall is worse than having a wall.The top of the wall can be climbed anyway, how do you climb this kind of tree?Even if you endured the pain and drilled through, the patches of prickly pear cactus on the ground are definitely your nightmare.

"The people's livelihood in Luoyang is poor, and many places are unoccupied. But this is the eastern capital, the hub of the canal where water and land meet. The population of Luoyang has gradually increased over the years. The Yun family must have made a lot of money by building a house here and selling it. People It is said that Yunhao is Tao Zhugong alive, I think this is correct."

"Your Majesty is wrong. Only with Goujian can there be Tao Zhugong. Now there is no Goujian, only Chu Guogong who has lost Qian's eyes." The eldest grandson said with a smile.

"Uh...! Hahaha!" Li Er was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.Goujian's deeds after destroying Wu can be called a generation of tyrants.It was also in order to avoid Goujian that Fan Li turned to business and went boating in the rivers and lakes to gain the name of Tao Zhugong.

Now comparing Yunhao to Tao Zhugong, doesn't that mean that Li Er is Goujian?
"That piece of land must belong to the Wang's family of Hejian County. Although his house is magnificent and stately, it always lacks aura." The eldest grandson said, pointing to another place outside the window.

"Hehe! The hands of the nobles are stretched long enough! The emperor has not been to Luoyang for 15 years, but he never expected Luoyang to become like this." The closer to the palace, the wider the streets.The houses on both sides of the road will be cleaner and tidy.

Obviously, this is a house built by nobles here for sale.There is no difference in style from Changan.It seems that real estate development here is also in full swing.Over there, there is still a large construction site under construction.

The emperor came to the palace, but the gate of the palace was tightly closed after the carriage passed by.After the casual officials and officials from Luoyang saluted at the palace gate, they retreated to find their own residences.

Hou Junji, Yun Hao, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others changed into regular clothes.Waiting at the back door of the palace, I had already prepared in my heart, the problem of the emperor's incognito visits can never be changed.

It's not that the other courtiers can't guess, but they are not qualified to accompany the emperor in the white dragon fish suit.

The corner door of the palace opened, and dozens of big men in various clothes walked out.Yun Hao shook his head helplessly, especially the last few who were still wearing burlap clothes and pretending to be poor.There are fucking poor people in official boots?Still holding a horizontal knife with a wonton animal head in his hand?Those who know that you are the imperial guard, but those who don't know that you think you are a gangster who sneaked into Chang'an City.When these big men saw a group of dukes, they quickly spread around without saying hello.

Li Er Shaobao was dressed in an azure suit and a swallow-winged cap.Seeing the courtiers waiting in front of the palace gate, he nodded.Behind him, followed by the eldest grandson in a plain skirt.She wore a vertebral cap on her head, and a gauze covered her face.

"Hou Junji, I entrusted Luoyang to you. Now it seems that I entrusted it to the right person. Look at this prosperous scene, heh! Heh!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! This is what a subject should do. To benefit the country is the way to be a subject." Hou Junji laughed beside him and groaned!

Yun Hao took a deep breath, this guy is finished.I don't know where the previous cleverness went. After studying in the academy for less than a month, Li Er got him to Luoyang.It now appears that this was a mistake.At this time, he was still following Li Er's merits. What Li Er said was good, but couldn't you hear the sneer at the end?Deaf?

Li Er glanced at Hou Junji, waved his long fan and walked out first.

The places closest to the palace are all newly built residential quarters.The house is brand new, and those who can afford to buy a house here are either rich or expensive.There are flower beds planted in the courtyard, and the fragrance of flowers blowing in the evening breeze is refreshing.

But Li Er didn't take a look at the beautiful scenery, and walked straight forward.The people behind had no choice but to follow.Meeting such an emperor is no different from serving a monkey.

After walking all the way to the night market, Li Er slowed down.Come across a snack, go in and try it.Regardless of whether you know each other or not, you have to get a few copies.Most of them tasted a sip or two, stood up and left.It made the buyers and sellers roll their eyes so much, and the one who had a bad temper even taught Li Er a lesson.

"I know that you are a noble person, but this is also food anyway. If you waste food, you will be punished by God, and you will starve sooner or later!" The words were vicious, but Li Er could only listen.

I don't know if Li Er will be punished by heaven, but if this brother keeps his mouth shut, he will definitely not be able to be a human being.Seeing the big man behind Li Er, Yun Hao clenched the hand holding the horizontal knife several times.It is a miracle that the person who dares to say Li Er face to face has his head still growing on his neck.

The unexpected happened, and there was no bloody scene of flying heads.Li Er stood up, bowed to the guy, and said: "I would like to be taught!" Then he left gracefully, causing people to chase him out.Li Er stood still and was about to listen to the assistant's instruction.

"Guest officer! Please settle the bill!"

Li Er blushed, Yun Hao hurriedly took out a small silver melon seed and stuffed it.

"The villain will give you some change!"

"Forget it! I'll reward you!" Yun Hao said helplessly.When this guy chased him out, I don't know how many powerful crossbows were pointing at his vitals.

The eldest grandson laughed so hard that Li Er, who hadn't carried money with him for many years, had already forgotten that there was such a thing as paying.In fact, whatever he wanted was obediently given to him.I am in Chang'an, and if I want to eat a tiger, someone will offer it up immediately.You actually need money to eat a bowl of bean curd at your crappy place...!It's really... It's only right and proper!
Luoyang City is obviously much more prosperous. In fact, as a water and land hub, it is impossible not to be prosperous.Especially after the railway between Chang'an and Luoyang was connected, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Luoyang would become the city second only to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.Because of the convenience of the transportation hub, Luoyang will become the commercial center of Datang.

Most of those aristocratic families have branches in Luoyang.Now it is even more aggressively buying land, and Luoyang's commercial prosperity surpasses that of Chang'an just around the corner.

I saw that there were many shops on the street, and people on the street were rubbing shoulders.Li Er's complexion finally got better, these are his people.Li Er and his ruling group need the support of these people.There is one more person who pays taxes to him. How can Li Er be unhappy?
"This Luoyang is quite prosperous!" Li Er turned his head and said to Hou Junji.

"Back to you...! Back to you, Luoyang does not have a curfew like Chang'an. Naturally, there is no street drum, and Chang'an city is full of squares. The tall square walls artificially block the streets. Luoyang Except for the palace, the city was almost in ruins. The imperial court planned on it, and the street market is no longer a square market. Instead, it has a special functional area!
For example, the ones in front of you are night markets.Every day, people work for a day, and they will come here to drink a glass of water and wine.Or simply wandering around in boredom, which has become the main leisure place for residents of Luoyang City at night.And there are countless food stalls in this night market.It also feeds many poor people. As long as you are willing, there is no problem even if you are open all night.In this way, the people have a living, and the court has an extra tax. Seeing the emperor's question, Hou Junji hurriedly answered behind him.

Li Er seemed very satisfied, looked at Hou Junji and nodded.Residents have their own careers, and so many people have poured into the city.They have to live in this city, and it is impossible to make a living without a living.Hou Junji did a pretty good job at this!

The sun had completely set, and it was getting dark.This is the time when the night market is the most prosperous, and there are people who buy and sell.There are monkeys doing magic tricks, and some restaurants are trying to attract customers.A special stage was set up and some actors were invited to sing.The audience was full of tables, and the drinkers had a great time drinking while watching the play.

"Sure enough, it is a scene of a prosperous age. People say that Zhenguan is a great rule. I see, what I said is true!" Fang Xuanling nodded. He is the prime minister, and he is very satisfied with the scene in front of him.

"The rule of Zhenguan! The rule of Zhenguan! Luoyang, the god capital of the former Sui Dynasty, was not as prosperous as it is today." Du Ruhui lived in Luoyang for two years when he was young, so he knew it very well.

Hearing the words Zhenguan Zhizhi, Li Er was obviously very happy.The whole person is also excited, seeing this and wanting to buy it, and seeing that also wants to taste it.If you meet monkeys, you will be rewarded, and if you encounter magic tricks, you will also be rewarded.When I met an opera singer, I said a lot of praise.However, it is obviously not on the tune.There was a loud boo and he was despised by everyone.

He was having a good time playing, but the big guy around him was suffering.Several people have become human-shaped shelves, and the places that can be hung and carried on their bodies are full.But it seems that Li Er's playfulness has not diminished and he has no intention of stopping.Soon, the eldest grandson also started shopping mode.

No matter how long the road is, there is always an end. Li Er suddenly found himself at the end of the night market while walking.

The surrounding area of ​​this kind of night market is naturally full of small businesses and hawkers.The living environment is really not flattering.There are no brick houses, but more thatched houses.The accumulated sewage was not discharged, and stinky mosquitoes and flies were flying all over the place.It is very different from those noble residences next to the palace.Many children were playing with their buttocks bare.There are also a few reed chickens on the ground, pecking at something to eat on the ground.

"The rule of Zhenguan! The rule of Zhenguan! This is the rule of Zhenguan under my wings!" Li Er felt his face was slapped hard.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the situation around the palace used to be the same. I called such a place a shanty town! Most of the people here are poor people, so the environment is naturally poor." Hou Junji said.

Li Erhu looked at Hou Junji with eyes like tigers.But Hou Junji said unhurriedly: "The government of Luoyang is already gradually transforming the shantytowns! Due to the limitation of funds, it can only be expanded from the palace. You can see that the people living around the palace are not all dignitaries .Many of them are poor people, and the government occupied their land. They built buildings for them, which saved a lot of land.

After the land is sold, the money for building buildings will be deducted.The rest of the money will be used to build roads and canals.According to the minister's plan, the place will be demolished next year.After three or two years, this place will look like the outside of the palace.Luoyang currently has a population of 45, 610. If it is to be completely remodeled, it may take ten years. "

God!The bastard is so promising, I thought his wit was gone.It turned out that there was nothing missing, and he even told Li Er the rhetoric he had learned here.I didn't see little stars popping out of Li Er's eyes. Where can I find such a capable minister.

"What Jun Ji said is true?" Li Er asked excitedly.

"Return to Your Majesty! How dare I lie to Your Majesty! This shantytown renovation was mentioned by Chu Guogong to Weichen when I was in the academy. When I arrived in Luoyang, I just took the medicine according to the prescription." It's okay. , this kid finally has a conscience.Did not pull Yun Hao down!

"You...!" Li Er was about to speak when suddenly there was a rush of hooves.In the distance, several cavalrymen rushed over on Pegasus.The bright red helmet cherry blossoms are extremely conspicuous under the lights.

"Hurry up?" Everyone was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why Hongling rushed out.Now around Datang, only Datang can bully others.How could there be Hongling rushing in a hurry and running wildly in the starry night?
The guard stopped Hong Ling's urgent envoy, who got off his horse.His footsteps were vain, and the guards had to help him to come to Li Er.The man collapsed on the ground, holding the leather bag in his hands and said: "Urgent military situation!"

Li Er grabbed the leather bag and opened it himself after inspecting the sealant.Then turn on the lights and look at the words on it.

"Back to the palace!"

Yun Hao noticed that Li Er's body was covered with a thick murderous aura.
