Chapter 2 If you want to get rich, build roads first. Will Zhao Ding betray the country?(1/3)
As soon as I saw the situation outside,
Good guy.
Wang Lishi was shocked!
Cattle and sheep all over the mountains.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Chongyuan's voice sounded from the carriage.
Wang Lishi stammered and replied: "Your Majesty, have we arrived in Mobei?"
Mobei is a nomadic people. The entire tribe makes a living by raising livestock and will invade borders before every year.
"What Mobei? How could it be so easy to reach Mobei?"
Zhao Chongyuan frowned slightly and reached out to lift the curtain.
When I saw clearly the situation in front of me, my eyes were filled with incredible expressions.
"I really got Mobei?"
Zhao Chong murmured to himself, then suddenly turned his head and glared at the groom who was driving the car: "Damn it, who asked you to bring the frame to Mobei, hurry up and leave!"
Zhao Chongyuan shouted loudly.
The eyes were filled with shock and anger.
He was the emperor of Dakan, and Mobei was a foreign race. He was hostile to farming countries like Dakan since ancient times. At this moment, when he, the emperor of Dakan, came to Mobei, if he was not careful, he would be in a turmoil in the affairs of Dakan and would be in danger of overturning.
"Your Majesty, this is Youzhou."
The driver was both dead and had a heart, and he was eager to think about the stone piers on the side of the road
"Youzhou?"
Zhao Chongyuan murmured to himself.
Look in the direction pointed by the driver.
There is indeed a stone pier on the side of the road.
There are a few big words written on it: Youzhou welcomes you.
Isn’t Youzhou a place of bitter and cold?
In the memorials, didn’t Zhao Ding complain to him every day about the difficulty of survival in Youzhou?
"Liss, what's going on?"
Zhao Chongyuan turned his head and looked at Wang Lishi.
Moreover, compared with the rugged mountain road before, the horses had stepped on a bluestone road three meters wide, with a flat and clean floor.
"Your Majesty, I don't know."
Wang Lishi also felt a little confused at this moment.
He didn't understand how Youzhou became this scene.
The violent collision just now was caused by the wheel of the carriage hitting the cliff of the bluestone road.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to ask a few people?"
Wang Lishi pointed to the herdsman who was grazing sheep in the mountains in the distance, and turned around and asked in a low voice.
"go."
Zhao Chongyuan replied in a deep voice.
I even more urge to curse myself in my heart.
This is the bitter and cold place that Zhao Ding told him in the memorial?
Youzhou where he shouted to ask him for something every day and asked him for something?
These cattle and sheep are everywhere in the mountains.
And the flat bluestone road under the carriage that could not be seen at the end.
Even the post road outside the imperial capital that was very active is not as grand as this.
With the width of this bluestone road, it is enough to accommodate four carriages to move forward side by side, and it is built on the mountain.
How much money and cream is this to waste?
“Wait.”
When Wang Lishi saw his master angry, he quickly shouted, got up and walked outside to buy a car.
Before he could lift the curtain.
Just looked at a guard in front of the carriage, and saw the herdsmen walking towards him from a distance suddenly shouting:
"Uncle."
"Oh, Erwazi, why are you back?"
When the herdsman saw the guard, he screamed in surprise and ran over in three steps.
Zhao Chongyuan looked at Wang Lishi.
Wang Lishi immediately held his ear and whispered something in Zhao Chongyuan's ear.
Zhao Chongyuan then realized it.
This guard was the guide they selected from the Hu Ben Army who guarded the imperial capital. He was born in Youzhou before, but later he was transferred to the capital because of his outstanding performance.
"Oh, I'm so awesome."
Running closer and looking at the scent of the cow on the ground, the herdsman shouted with some distress.
"Uncle, I don't know it's yours."
The guard named Erwazi took off his head awkwardly, reached out and took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the herdsman: "Uncle, why don't I accompany you some money? You have worked very hard in Youzhou."
However, the herder waved his hand and looked indifferent: "Hey, it's just a cow, it doesn't matter if you die."
When Erwazi heard what the herdsman said, he was immediately confused: "Uncle, it's awesome, this is awesome."
Is my uncle so rich and generous in the past few years since I left home?
The herder glanced at Erwazi and said with disgust: "You think our current Youzhou is still the same as the previous Youzhou."
He pointed to the flock of cattle and sheep all over the mountains and fields: "See, they are all cows from our village and sheep from our village."
"All of them are from our village?"
Looking at the cattle and sheep all over the mountains, the guard named Erwazi was stunned.
Looking at this glance, there were four or five hundred cows alone, and there were even thousands of sheep, and these were just cattle and sheep from their village.
And the village has only a hundred people and thirty-four households.
It's at least a dozen of them at his uncle's house.
This is still their village, and the entire Youzhou?
Even Wang Lishi and Zhao Chongyuan on the carriage were stunned when they heard these wealthy words.
Youzhou has been a bitter and cold place since ancient times, bordering Beiliang and Nanchen, and foreign tribes in the north of the Mobei have often harassed each other.
Since the founding of Daqian, it has been the place of three wars.
People's livelihood is withering and war is constantly chaotic.
It has always been the most worrying place for emperors of all dynasties.
When did you become so rich?
In a village, there are more than a hundred cattle and thousands of sheep?
"Uncle, don't joke, when did our village become so rich?"
After a while, the guard named Erwazi realized and looked at his uncle with a look of embarrassment.
It was because Youzhou couldn't survive, and it's only been a few years now.
It's so much change.
"Baiduzi, I'm bragging, right? Let me tell you, these cows were made by His Highness Yan."
The villagers said proudly, then pointed to the bluestone road on the ground: "See, this is also our King of Yan, who has brought our Youzhou people to build it out bit by bit.
Our King of Yan said this.
If you want to be rich, you must first build the road. Sure enough, after the road is repaired, businessmen from other places will start to come to our Youzhou."
"The cow was made from the King of Yan Palace. This road was also built by His Highness Yan?"
The guard named Erwazi opened his mouth and looked at his uncle in disbelief.
Even the expressions on Wang Lishi and Zhao Chongyuan's faces became even more strange.
