Leaving, still a little bit unsatisfied, he said to himself: "Guests only need to follow the road over there to reach Liangzhou. There are guesthouses every few miles beside the road, which is very convenient for coming from afar. You don’t know, this road, it’s made out of cement by Wang Duan, it’s flat and wide, it’s very convenient, even the speed of the carriage is much faster.”
Looking over with his fingers, he saw a white jade belt-like road extending straight to the west in the distance.
The emperor thanked him, and he had even more expectations for this trip to Liangzhou.
Now that the horse farm in Liangzhou has formed a large scale, Mingyu has introduced a lot of good horses from the Western Regions for breeding, which has improved Dayan's horses to several levels. Liangzhou's horses were even supplied to the army in the north, and Dayan was no longer short of horses as it was a few years ago.
Along the way, Emperor Weifu saw a lot of new things. In the fields beside the road, many people had planted corn, watermelon and other crops. The more you go west, the more vibrant you are, and people's faces are full of smiles from the inside out.
The people were very hospitable, they warmly welcomed them into their homes and sat down, and brought out water to greet them and their group.
The young man went out after a quick meal, "Father and mother, I'm off to work, so I'll fix anything at home when I come back. Don't turn your back like last time."
"Go, go! Don't be late!" The old father urged with a smile on his face. This has to be said several times a day.
Turning his head, he smiled and said to the emperor: "The guest is laughing, this kid is frizzy."
The emperor shook his head and said with a smile: "The old man is very lucky."
"Hi! It's all thanks to the blessing of King Duan. Now this situation, I feel like I'm dreaming every day."
While chatting about homework, someone outside the house shouted: "Uncle Chen, is Uncle Chen at home?"
Old Uncle Chen hurriedly responded, "Hey! Is it Manager Zhao from Ma's House? Why are you free to come here today?"
The emperor also stood by the door, quietly observing.
Shopkeeper Zhao jumped out of the carriage, his chubby face trembling a few times, "Isn't the watermelon in the field almost ripe? I'll come here early to sign the purchase agreement. Pay a deposit first, and let me wait until it's ripe." Someone came to collect it."
Old Uncle Chen beamed with joy, rubbed his hands and smiled, "Your Ma's House is getting older every year. Didn't you wait for half a month to come here last year?"
"Hey! Isn't it good that many people are staring at this piece? If you don't start early, I'm afraid you won't even see a single melon seed. You see, the market hasn't changed much this year. If you believe my old Zhao , shall we still accept last year’s market price?”
Uncle Chen waved his hand, "What do you say if you believe it or not? We have cooperated for several years, but you still can't trust you, Old Zhao?"
The two laughed loudly, followed by the proficient procedures, signing the contract, and pressing their fingers. In the end, old man Chen cheerfully got a deposit, and the watermelon in his melon field was considered to have a new home.
Shopkeeper Zhao hurried to the next shop again, and the emperor, who saw the whole thing from the beginning to the end, said strangely: "The watermelon will take a month or two to ripen, right? It was sold so early?"
Old Uncle Chen nodded and smiled: "That's not it, we just need to be responsible for farming, and we don't have to worry about not being able to sell the things we grow, as there are plenty of people vying for them outside."
"The businessman is so cunning, so you are not afraid of being cheated?" the emperor asked.
Old Uncle Chen didn't care, "Don't be afraid, our lord has rules, and he is never allowed to bully the market. He also issued many rules to protect the people, and no one dares to violate the rules."
The emperor looked at the majestic and tall Liangcheng not far away, but there was a hint of urgency in his heart.
Ming Yu's head hurts a bit, and she unconsciously presses her temples with her hands, trying to relieve them. He received the prince, oh! No, it should be a secret letter from Emperor Ruiqing, saying that the emperor's father has come to Liangzhou in his clothes and asked him to send someone to protect him.
When he received the letter, he didn't dare to pick up the person with great fanfare, so he could only send guards to meet him. How could he have sent several waves of guards, but he couldn't find the emperor's father. Why didn't this make him anxious, the emperor's father came over quietly, and he didn't know if there would be any danger or if he would encounter any problems.
"As long as you arrive in Liangzhou, there should be no danger." Xie Yixiu walked behind him, gently pressed his fingers on his temple, and massaged it for him, "Don't worry too much."
Nowadays, the living conditions in Liangzhou are affluent. It can be said that it is impossible to be in danger if you do not close your house at night and do not pick up your belongings.
"That being said, there is no news, so I still can't help but worry."
Xie Yixiu looked soft, "The Emperor Taishang came to Liangzhou for the first time, and he was curious about some things, so it is possible to see more. If you are really worried, how about I take people out to find out?"
Ming Yu thought about it, but before he made a decision, he heard a report from someone outside, saying that someone outside was looking for the prince.
The two looked at each other, Ming Yu hurriedly asked about the face of the person who came, and before he finished speaking, he hurriedly got up to greet him.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of the palace, Ming Yu almost raised his forehead, and stood at the gate with an angry expression on his face. If it wasn't his emperor's father who was blowing his beard and staring, who else would it be? It's just who made him angry
However, this is not the time to think about these things, Ming Yu greeted him with a smile, "Father! Why didn't you say hello when you came, so I can go and greet you?"
Everyone at the door looked shocked. They didn't expect that this old man was really the Supreme Emperor. They actually stopped the Supreme Emperor outside the gate of the mansion, it's over, it's over, their lives are in danger. So everyone knelt down and pleaded guilty.
The emperor didn't even look at them, and went straight into the palace without saying anything.
Ming Yu hurriedly followed, "Father, who is this? Who made you angry?"
The emperor stopped and scolded: "You bastard, what kind of bullshit regulations are you making? Huh? You just entered Liangcheng, and you are charged for livestock management fees. Horses are fined if they defecate anywhere in the city? Then people have to be fined for spitting? How can there be such a weird reason for fines in this world? As a prince, don’t you care about it? What’s the difference between the people below charging randomly and extorting miscellaneous taxes?”
It turned out that when they entered the city, someone stopped them and said that they had to pay for livestock management. This bullshit name collected money, and I started arguing with people at that time, but the other party didn't force them and let them into the city. However, not long after entering the city, they were caught and fined for defecating on the horse.
Now it's all right, no one cares what your identity is, no matter what you say, you won't compromise, even the people who watched the excitement say that they are wrong. No way, finally had to pay a fine. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, the phlegm rose up, and he spit on the ground. The group of people hadn't gone far before they were caught again, and this time the fine was doubled.
Later, the city defense team was alarmed. They thought of calming down the matter, so they had to admit it with their noses pinched. But he couldn't think about it anyway. The people of Liangzhou said how magnanimous and loving the old fourteen was, and how he governed well. But now it is obviously a very unreasonable fee, what is the difference from exorbitant taxes, tyrannical government is fiercer than a tiger, the old fourteen will not fail to understand this truth. It is not easy for his son to manage a territory. It must be the people below who are obedient and obedient, and nothing can encourage this unhealthy trend.
The emperor said it angrily, and Ming Yu's face was a little embarrassed, "Father... Royal father, I know about this matter, and I was the one who asked people to do this."
"..." The emperor looked disbelieving, pointing at Ming Yu, speechless.
Ming Yu grinned, "Father, don't be in a hurry, first listen to my son to explain the truth! After listening to my father, I feel dissatisfied, so my son accepts punishment and accepts punishment."
The emperor flicked his sleeves and snorted as he agreed.
"Father, what do you think of the environment in Liangcheng? How does it compare to Beijing in terms of cleanliness?" Ming Yu asked.
The emperor thought about it, compared it in his heart, and nodded, "That's all it takes." He had to admit that the concrete streets in Liangcheng, the flowers, trees and green grass beside the roads were indeed pleasant to look at.
"The environment is clean and tidy, and germs are not easy to produce, so that people living in this environment are not easy to get sick. There are many merchants coming and going in Liangcheng, and there are also a lot of vehicles, horses, cattle, sheep and livestock. People can control themselves, but livestock cannot control them. Ah, then it can only be borne by the owner. If there are no rules and regulations, how can such a clean and tidy environment be maintained?"
"Actually, as long as you pay the money for livestock management, someone will give you special guidance on how to manage it, and you will avoid fines." Ming Yu secretly glanced at the emperor, who is to blame if you don't want to pay the money yourself
"It's just that people are really willing to accept this kind of fine?" He couldn't believe that some people were willing to collect money like this.
Ming Yu smiled, "Are those people wearing a red ribbon? These are actually organized and supervised by the people in the city. They have always lived in Liangcheng. Compared with Liangcheng in the past and the current Liangcheng, which one is better? Bad, their choices actually speak for themselves.”
"As for those who come to Liangcheng from other places for the first time, a pamphlet will be issued when they enter the city, with all the precautions on it, so..." Ming Yu rubbed his nose and paused.
Only then did the emperor remember the pamphlet he had thrown in the corner of the carriage, thinking that he could see his youngest son sooner, so why would he pay attention to it? That being said, everything is their own problem.
Thinking of this, my anger subsided a lot, and I finally calmed down, "Okay, now that we've arrived in Liangcheng, we'll stay here for a while. If you have something to do, go get busy, and if you have nothing to do, you can accompany me to look around. "
Ming Yu naturally agreed. At this time they had already entered the inner house, the emperor looked around, the others dispersed, only Xie Yixiu said abruptly.
