Chapter 835： made of stone
Chapter 835 Made of Stone
In Liangzhou City, the patriarchs of the four major families received the news, and all of them were so angry that their heads were smoking.
Although they don’t want to, their arms can’t twist their thighs. The imperial power is in power, and they have to compromise if they don’t want to. However, based on the market price, if the new city wall is successfully built, the land in the city will be worth some money.
The owners of the house were conservative in their calculations. When Liangzhou became the number one city in Northwest China with its bustling commerce and trade in the future, they were grateful in their hearts for knowing the current affairs today and accumulating this large area of homestead for their family.
Three years later, Changxing four years later.
"My lord, Liangzhou City is ahead."
"Arrived?"
Arrived so soon?
Ai Yu opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out. A big city stood on the vast plain like a sleeping lion.
On the official road leading to the city gate, caravans lined up one after another to enter the city, stretching for several miles.
It is spring plowing, and on the fields on both sides of the road, farmers are leading the oxen to plow the fields and prepare for planting.
"I didn't expect that an insignificant small town on the northwestern frontier would be so prosperous now?" the driver of the car sighed, and he queued for several miles into the city. It seemed that only the capital city had such a scene along the way.
Near the city gate, there were more horse-drawn carriages, mule carts, and donkey carts, and the speed of travel also slowed down. Sitting in the carriage, I was sore all the way. The spring sun was just right, so Ai Yu simply got up and got out of the carriage, side by side with the boy who drove the carriage. We sat outside together.
"Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. I have heard about the prosperity of Liangzhou City in the past two years, but I didn't expect there to be so many caravans."
The boy flicked his whip lightly, grinning and said, "My lord, now it seems that it is not a loss for you to take the initiative to apply to come to the Northwest."
"The prince and the princess are capable people, and I have not come to the northwest as much as you think." Ai Yu turned his head and glanced at the boy: "Don't be so utilitarian, boy, follow me."
"Hey, it's all my fault for being outspoken." The boy patted himself on the mouth a few times and smiled at him.
Ai Yu looked down at the wide road under the horse's hoof, and sighed: "The road into the city is really wide."
A carriage pulling goods was side by side, and the driver rolled up a cigarette. Hearing this sentence, he smiled proudly: "That is, this avenue into the city is called Liangzhou Avenue, and there are eight lanes on the left and right. Can eight horse-drawn carriages drive side by side at the same time, isn't it spacious?"
After finishing speaking, the coachman glanced at Ai Yu's expression and was quite disappointed to see that he kept a gentle smile on his face. He also looked at the Lun scarf on his head, dressed as a scholar, and asked: "Mr. The accent sounds like someone from other places, have you been to Liangzhou Prefecture before?"
Ai Yu shook his head: "This is the first time for Xiaosheng to come to Liangzhou."
The driver was surprised. Shouldn’t he be surprised to see this kind of concrete road when he came to Liangzhou for the first time? "Are you here to visit relatives and friends?"
"I guess."
Visiting relatives and friends?
Ai Yu looked at the city in front of him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, thinking back in the past three years of drought, he almost starved to death on the side of the road, the first girl who was rescued and saw the pink carved jade girl, she had a prickly smile The smiling voice is like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, with a melodious but soft voice with a child's voice.
In the past few years, it has often appeared in his dreams, and it haunts him to this day.
This time I took the initiative to invite Ying to come to a small county in the northwest. I wonder if there is any chance to see the beautiful woman again?
While queuing up to enter the city, the carriage stopped by the side of the road, and the servant squinted his eyes and sniffed slightly, with a look of enjoyment, "These peach blossoms on both sides of the road are so beautiful!"
The faint fragrance smells refreshing, and the patiently waiting in line is not so difficult.
"That's right, the peach trees planted on both sides of the road are new varieties that the princess sent someone to find. Not only are the flowers bright in color, but also have a long flowering period, and the peaches are big and sweet." What a coincidence.
The boy turned his head and took a look, then looked at the peach blossoms on the side of the road and asked: "The tree is planted by the side of the road. Is the princess not afraid that the peaches will be picked by passers-by before they are ripe?"
The coachman snorted: "What are you afraid of? The princess doesn't rely on the peaches to sell money to subsidize her family. She never thought of profiting from this peach tree. As long as everyone passes by and doesn't damage the peach tree, pick it up." The guards of the palace said that the original purpose of planting this tree was to beautify the scenery along the road and make it easier for passers-by."
The corner of Ai Yu's mouth twitches, the princess sells peaches to subsidize the family? Only the coachman dared to say this, how could Nuo Da's palace be short of this little money?
The young man opened his mouth and had nothing to say. Thinking about it, he was right. The purpose of planting the peaches on the side of the road was originally for the convenience of passers-by. It doesn't matter when the peaches are picked.
Waiting to pass through the majestic city gate makes people feel small.
Passing through the city gate, the streets in the city are neat and clean, not as yellow as the yellow sand in the northwest, and full of flowers, the spring is not an exaggeration.
On both sides of several wide main roads in the new urban area, there are row upon row of shops and a bustling flow of people, mainly traders entering and leaving the city and caravans coming and going from various places.
The carriage came all the way, and there was an alley between the two shops, and the scene behind could be seen through the alley.
"It seems that in just three years, Mu Wangfu only had time to build basic roads and shops on both sides." Ai Yu said.
The young man stretched his neck to look at the green behind the alley, and said with a smile: "The back of the alley is full of wasteland, but it is really rare to build Liangzhou City to such a large scale in just three years. My lord, please don't overdo it." Goha."
Ai Yu's mouthful of old blood was constricted in his chest, he couldn't get up and down, choked to death, did he mean what he meant?
He, a seventh-rank county magistrate, dares to ask for the palace!
Besides, it is still unknown whether he can take office smoothly now. What is this young man talking about?
People are poor and short-sighted, so it is not easy to find a servant who is less talkative.
Ai Yu shed tears of bitterness, turned his head and ignored the brat.
The young man watched all the way, feasted his eyes, and immediately remembered that they had nowhere to go, so he asked, "My lord, should we go directly to the county below today or temporarily settle down in Liangzhou City?"
Ai Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he gritted his teeth and said directly: "The inn!"
In the inn, the master and servant settled down, washed away the dust, and after a short rest, it was the beginning of the night.
The servant waited for Ai Yu to wash up, and then asked: "My lord, shall we eat downstairs or in the room?"
"Go downstairs." Ai Yu said and got up and walked to the door first.
When going down the stairs, the servant stamped the floor of the stairs with his feet, and exclaimed: "The floors of inns in other places are made of wood, and only the floors in Liangzhou City are made of stone."
"Puff!"
There are many guests going up and down the stairs, and I don't know who is laughing out loud?
