BXBX NOVEL Chapter 292: Li Shimin's experience along the way!
When Li Yin broke the news, the officials in Yizhou were very calm, as if they were about to receive guests, and they did not show any surprises. This surprised and pleased Li Yin, which shows that in the eyes of these officials, Gradually, there was only Li Yin, the king of Shu, and the fiefdom under Li Yin\'s rule, and he no longer cared about whether he could be appreciated by Li Shimin.
It took three days to get everything ready. Li Yin and the others were only waiting for Li Shimin\'s arrival...
"Father! When will we arrive?" Sizi lay in Li Shimin\'s arms, squinting her eyes and asked. She had just slept in Li Shimin\'s arms for a long time, and she just woke up, starting from Chang\'an, walking all the way It\'s been almost half a month since I came here, but I haven\'t seen any sign of Yizhou, so Sizi can\'t help feeling a little impatient.
Empress Changsun and Li Shimin shared a carriage. She smiled and said, "Hurry up, I\'m so anxious to see your sixth brother!"
Sizi snorted and said, "Whoever wants to see him will know to go back to Chang\'an to find Sizi after more than a year."
"Your sixth brother manages such a big fiefdom, how can you have so much time to go to Chang\'an to play, you are just greedy, don\'t your sixth brothers send you few snacks every year?" Li Shimin scratched his chest said the nose.
Pulling Sizi into her arms dotingly, Empress Changsun said: "In the future, you will study in Yizhou, and you will have some time to play with your sixth brother. Then just don\'t cry every day and go back to Chang\'an."
"Don\'t be afraid. Anyway, Brother Nine is with me, Brother Seven and Brother Starling." Sizi counted them one by one.
Looking at Si Zi\'s cute appearance, Empress Changsun felt a little reluctant, and said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, Si Zi is still so young, do you really want her to stay in Yizhou to study?"
"Sizi is seven years old this year, and he is not young anymore, and since he wants to learn, he must start from elementary school, so that he can really master some new things." Li Shimin said thoughtfully. Now he understands from various aspects that Yizhou has developed very rapidly in the past three years, and various new skills and products have emerged in an endless stream, and many new things have even exceeded his imagination, which makes him feel a little bit helpless. Can\'t stop. So I chose to go to Yizhou this summer to see the specific situation, and by the way, let a few young princes and princesses also come here to study.
Empress Changsun could not refute what she said. Speaking of which, it was her idea to let these princes and princesses study in Yizhou, because she had already deeply felt the difference of Yizhou during her days in Yizhou.
"Your Majesty, the frontier is the fiefdom of the King of Shu, and I have already seen the concrete road." Wang Gui\'s voice sounded outside.
Hearing this, Sizi\'s eyes lit up. Immediately opened the curtain of the car, and Li Shimin also looked out with great interest. It turned out that across a short section of dirt road in front, there was a spacious concrete road not far away. Li Shimin looked at it and found that it was more than ten meters wide. It is very smooth and flat, lying on the land surrounded by loess like a silver belt extending forward, very beautiful.
"What is the boundary now?" Queen Changsun asked, she clearly remembered that when she returned to Chang\'an, the cement road had not yet been repaired to this location.
Wang Gui said: "If you go back to your mother, this is already the boundary of Mianzhou."
Hearing this, Empress Changsun showed a surprised expression, and then sighed: "Liulang\'s fief is really changing three times a day. When I went back last year, the road was only repaired to the border of Zizhou. This year, I went to Mianzhou again. I guess now Every state in Liulang\'s fief has concrete main roads."
Li Shimin was still in shock. He was more surprised than Empress Changsun at this time. After all, when he came to Yizhou, it was just a concrete road built in Yizhou City, and the road was still very narrow, and it was very A few meters from the concrete main road.
The carriage immediately stabilized on the concrete main road, and the speed increased a lot. Li Shimin felt relieved physically and mentally. The bumps of the carriage along the way made his body uncomfortable, and sitting in the carriage at this time is a kind of enjoyment.
"Father, is this the concrete road?" Sizi pointed to the flat and tidy road and said, "It\'s really beautiful, and it looks very solid."
"That\'s right, this is what the sixth brother tossed about. Such changes have taken place in Mianzhou. Father is really looking forward to what Yizhou will be like now." Li Shimin smiled.
Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, I assure you that you will be surprised."
It suddenly became stable, not only Li Shimin, but also other concubines and princes in the carriage poked their heads out to look at these strange things, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, facing the concrete main road with novelty, and Concubine Yang except In addition to the novelty, I am more proud.
In the past, it took nearly four days to travel from Mianzhou to Yizhou, but now Li Shimin\'s team arrived outside Yizhou in just over two days. For this reason, Li Shimin was deeply moved.
"Stop!" Li Shimin suddenly gave an order when the team was marching.
Wang Gui, who was walking in front, came over suspiciously, and said, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Prepare the horse for me? I want to see what is being built here?" Li Shimin said, looking at the large-scale construction complex. At this time, there is still some distance from the inner city of Yizhou. He is in the right place. According to Li Min\'s design, the outer city walls that are being expanded in the state are extended 20 miles outward on the basis of the old city. Rebuild the city wall to enclose the inner city.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Gui stepped back and brought a horse over after a while.
Like Mianzhou, Yizhou at this time is more lively and noisy than Mianzhou. There are many merchants on the road, shoulder to shoulder. Looking at Li Shimin\'s team, the merchants all stop to salute. Newspapers had already reported that Li Shimin was coming to Yizhou, and these people knew who was coming as soon as they saw such a magnificent team.
After getting on the horse, Li Shimin let the team drive slowly, while he rode his horse around the outer city.
"Father, my son will go with you!" At this time Cheng Huailiang rode over, and he was responsible for Li Shimin\'s safety this time.
"Well, good!" Li Shimin nodded.
In fact, it is no wonder that Li Shimin was so shocked at this time, because at this time, roads extending in all directions have been built in the outer city. These roads are horizontal and vertical, dividing the land into square grids, and these roads are all clean. The flat concrete road looks very neat from a distance.
Many two-story buildings are under construction on these lands divided into square grids. Although the style is similar to ordinary buildings, Li Shimin is surprised that such two-story buildings are usually restaurants and shops. Many such buildings are being built densely, so it doesn\'t make sense. It is impossible to build so many restaurants in Yizhou at one time, and it is so far away from the city of Yizhou.
Walking along one of the roads to a construction area that has been completed, Li Shimin\'s eyes scanned the busy craftsmen, and found that these craftsmen were very happy when they were working. He was a little confused. Could it be that these people are not corvees? ? If so, how could the corvee be so happy? Because this corvee is the most disgusting thing for the people.
While he was thinking, a person holding the blueprint turned his head to look at Li Shimin, and then he showed a surprised expression, walked quickly to the road, saluted Li Shimin who was on the horse, and said: "The lowly slave Yang Li sees the emperor! to be continued...)
