"Jing Lue, take care of the government affairs for me!"

After accepting the gift bag, Yan Hao waved his hand fiercely to the king, and stepped into the carriage with Qi Yun and Bao Si on his arm.

The carriage disappeared at the end of the official road while the concubines and Wang Meng waved goodbye, billowing up smoke and dust.

Yan Hao left the capital for the first time since coming to another world, and this time he could finally shout at the mountains, rivers and trees: "This is my country!"

Chapter 176

Yan Hao left the capital with his army of beauties, and first turned to Xijing Road in the east of the capital for a visit.

Luoyang on Xijing Road is one of the cities with the longest history in the land of China. Moreover, Xijing Road is close to the capital, well-governed and prosperous.

Since Yan Hao came to this foreign world, he has never been out of the capital city, let alone really seen this colorful world, so he can't help being fascinated, and he has to go in to visit any interesting places he sees.Taverns, teahouses, Goulan, markets, left footprints of his visits everywhere.

It wasn't until Qi Yun reminded Yan Hao that the main purpose of leaving the palace this time was to investigate the disaster situation in the south of Jinghu Road, Yan Hao woke up like a dream and decided to continue going south.

Therefore, Yan Hao and the others did not stop at Shannan East Road, and entered Jinghu Road within three days.

Yan Hao did not choose to go straight to the south of Jinghu Road, but decided to inspect the important town in the north of Jinghu Road, Jizhou, known as the world's granary.

He remembered the flood in Jizhou last year, and Zhang Feng had a hard time raising funds for disaster relief, but he didn't know what Jizhou would look like this year.In order to facilitate his inspection work, he specially informed the Secretary of Ladies to arrange an identity for him, that is, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to inspect the flood in the Yangtze River, and informed Mu Yuqi of Jizhou Prefecture that he would arrive in Jizhou in three days.

But in fact, Yan Hao arrived in Jizhou three days in advance, just to see if Yu Qi would do some impromptu tricks.

On the official road leading to Jizhou, a carriage was galloping away from Poyang Mansion, the governor of Waijizhou.This official road was rebuilt by Yan Hao to transport new equipment at that time. Not only was the road wide and straight, but some trees were planted on both sides of the official road to block the scorching sun, so as to provide shade for passers-by in the scorching summer.

Yan Hao in the carriage was hugging Baosi and told her some jokes to make her happy. These dirty jokes from other worlds made Baosi, a cold beauty, smile.

"Your Majesty, look quickly!" At this moment, Qi Yun who lifted the curtain to see the scenery outside the window suddenly exclaimed.

Yan Hao poked his head out and looked out, and was immediately shocked!

I saw that the two rows of green trees on both sides of the official road came to an abrupt end here. Without the cover of the trees, Yan Hao and the others were able to see the endless golden rice fields behind the trees.The rice plants are full of grains, and the waves of wheat waves are undulating in the breeze, as if they are singing songs to the blue sky with a smile.In the distance of the paddy field is a big light blue river that runs across the field, and the river water is continuously irrigating this vast and rich land of abundance.

The three people in the carriage scrambled to the window to enjoy the scenery of the harvest field. Even Bao Si, who was always calm about everything, slightly parted her thin lips like willow leaves, intoxicated in the air filled with the fragrance of rice. .

Although Yan Hao already knew that the hybrid rice SKU-II was a great success, what he saw while sitting in the palace were the summarized data and reports submitted by his subordinates, and what always came to mind was only Just a string of numbers.

Only by seeing the plump and fat rice and the boundless rice fields in the field can we understand how much this SSS super rice seed will bring about the great changes in the lives of the people of Wei.

"Your Majesty, let's get out of the carriage and have a look!" Qi Yun pulled Yan Hao to the side of the road, and the aroma of rice in the air became more intense, blowing towards his face.You can faintly hear the yelling of farmers threshing millet in the distance.

"Your Majesty, you really led the poor people of our Great Wei to live a good life!" At this time, the female officer Yue'er also came to Yan Hao's side and sighed sincerely.

She came from a poor family, and was sent to the palace as a maid at the age of ten.But her childhood experience made her deeply understand how fortunate the working people at the bottom are, so she is also the deepest emotion.

Qi Yun next to her nodded and said: "It seems that Mu Yuqi of Jizhou Prefecture has also managed this place well. The people's clothes along the way don't look luxurious, but they are decent and down-to-earth, and everyone has a smile on their faces. , The rice fields are also a scene of a bumper harvest.”

"Okay, you guys, don't be emotional, these are just superficial phenomena. Let's go to the city of Poyang Prefecture and get to know it before making a conclusion." Yan Hao took the three girls up Get out of the carriage and head towards Poyang Fucheng again.

Chapter 177

Although the city wall of Poyang Fucheng is not as tall as the capital city, it is still made of high-quality blue bricks. Under the city wall is a royal blue moat and weeping poplars. The entire city gate looks clean and tidy.

The prosperity of Poyang is far beyond Yan Hao's expectation. There is a lot of traffic at the gate of the city. The people who come and go include farmers in coarse linen clothes and carrying hoes, as well as noble sons in brocade clothes, peddlers pushing carts and carts, and some holding weapons. , Warriors in armor.

But what surprised Yan Hao was that different people with different identities entered the city in an orderly manner. After observing for a long time, there was no dispute or confusion.Looking carefully, it turned out that there was a man who looked like an officer at the gate of the city leading troops to maintain order. People who entered the city lined up in different queues according to their identities.

Yan Hao wanted to test the military discipline of the Poyang garrison, so he signaled Bao Si, Qi Yun, and Yue'er not to wear veils, and a group of people walked into Poyang City swaggeringly

The three girls around Yan Hao are all beautiful and beautiful, and they have different styles.Any one of the three women would cause a sensation walking on the street, but now they are accompanied by one of them, which makes others envious.

The four walked towards the city gate together, and all the people who passed by paid attention to them, and many people whispered about the beauty of the three women.

"Wait a minute!" When Yan Hao and others were about to pass through the city gate, they were stopped by the generals defending the city, surrounded by several soldiers.

Yan Hao thought to himself: Well, these people are really putting on airs, they show their true colors when they see a beautiful woman, and they want to make fun of them.

He was about to ask Yu Jianji to teach these people a lesson, but the general said: "My lord, your three wives and concubines are very beautiful, please don't let them show their true colors, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Just kidding, the general also explained to Yan Hao the distribution of buildings in the city, and then ordered the soldiers to let them go, but Yan Hao's idea of ​​teaching him a lesson fell through.

"Is this Jizhou really so orderly?" Yan Hao brought his concubines to the street market in Poyang city without belief.

Suddenly, Yan Hao moved his nose and smelled the unique slightly sweet fragrance of locust leaves, and followed the fragrance to a stall.The stall owner was an elderly lady. Yan Hao saw that the small ceramic bowl in her hand contained tender green noodles, which looked crystal clear and very attractive.

Yue'er was so greedy that her saliva was about to flow down, Yan Hao pinched her nose with a smile, and asked the aunt, "Auntie, what are these green noodles, why have I never seen it before?"

The aunt said: "Young man, it looks like you are from other places, right? This is our famous 'Shuai Ye Lengtao' in Jizhou. It is made by adding freshly germinated Sophora japonica leaves to rice noodles. Then put it in the ice cellar to freeze, and mix it with your favorite ingredients when you eat it. It tastes fragrant and full of aftertaste!"

"Okay, let's serve four bowls, one for each of us."

"Okay!" the aunt said cheerfully.She neatly packed four bowls of Lengtao, and then brought out a large bowl of silver and yellow sauce.Pour the sauce into Lengtao and stir it, and a bowl of Lengtao with locust leaves is freshly baked.

Chapter 178

"Ma'am, your sauce looks quite unique." Qi Yun who was on the side said with great interest.

"Oh girl, you really have a good eye. It's not that the aunt is bragging to you. The aunt's head is a secret recipe. Three kinds of fish, crucian carp, mandarin fish, and sea bass, are cut into small pieces and served with fresh bamboo shoots and shredded cucumbers. Who in the entire Poyang City would not like my bowl of 'Silver Silk Cold Amoy'?"

Yan Hao took the silver and green Lengtao rice noodles from the aunt, and handed them to the beauties around him, and the three girls couldn't wait to eat with their chopsticks.

"Squeak!" Bao Si, who has always been reserved and arrogant, didn't care about his demeanor, and took a big mouthful of noodles.It was midsummer at this time, and the sun was scorching hot, but this mouthful of cold washing was refreshing and refreshing, as if the person by the oven was hugging an iceberg, which made people feel refreshing.

"Your Majesty, it's delicious!" Bao Si said happily, and began to munch on big pieces. Qi Yun and Yue'er were not to be outdone, and finished a big bowl of Leng Tao in two bites.

"It's delicious, Your Majesty!" Bao Si smiled from the bottom of her heart after eating, and acted like a baby in Yan Hao's arms.

Yan Hao thought to himself while hugging the beauty, sometimes people's happiness is so simple.Only King You of Zhou could get Bao Si a smile by playing with the feudal princes, but now he can achieve the same effect with a bowl of cold silver.

"Auntie, you use so many kinds of fish in this bowl of lengtao, and the portion of rice noodles is so big, and you only sell it for 20 yuan a bowl, won't you lose money?" Yan Hao asked.

"Hahaha, you still don't understand the products of our Jizhou!" The aunt laughed, "Since Mr. Yu took office and adopted the policy of stopping fishing according to seasons and waters, there are countless fish in Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River. Are you afraid that there will be no fish if you can’t finish fishing?”

"As for the cold-washed rice noodles, it is thanks to the new crop of natural rice bestowed by the emperor. We have a bumper harvest of rice everywhere in Jizhou. Auntie, the few acres of land in my house can't be eaten up. I use all the extra rice. Let's do cold shopping!"

The old lady's face is filled with a real happy smile, isn't this what Yan Hao hopes to see in the common people?

Although he has always advertised that he wants to be a big fool, this mainly means that he wants to enjoy himself like a fool, and he must have fun in life to not waste his good years.But if you can have fun with the people while enjoying yourself, that is the most perfect state!

Yan Hao recalled the dialogue between King Hui of Liang and Mencius in "Mencius". King Hui of Liang saw the swan geese and elk in the hunting garden and asked Mencius, "Would it be a pleasure for a sage?" It is a marsh, and the people are happy. They call the platform "Lingtai", and call the marsh "Lingmarsh". They are happy that there are elk, fish and turtles. The ancient people were happy with the people, so they can be happy..."

It means that although King Wen of Zhou spent the people's effort to build high platforms and deep pools, the people did not resent him, but were very happy. This is because the ancient kings were able to share the joy with the people.On the contrary, when King Zhou of Shang built Lutai, he was cursed by the people because he only cared about his own enjoyment and disregarded the life and death of the people.

How else can we say that Mencius is a sage? Pure heart and few desires, light extravagance and simplicity.But I don't know the art of the emperor, and having fun with the people is the highest state!

"Ma'am, what do you mean, Mr. Zhou Muyu of Jizhou is also a good official?" At this time, Qi Yun interjected from the side.
