The carriage Liu Ruyan was riding at least three times the size of a normal carriage. Because of the use of bearings, tooth chains, pulleys and rubber tires, although it was only pulled by two horses, it still seemed effortless. The windows on both sides were extremely large, inlaid with transparent glazing, and the view outside the window was unobstructed.

Following Liu Ruyan's eyes, large areas of crops came into view.

At this time in previous years, these crops should have shown a golden color of harvest, but this year, due to a severe drought, a large number of green seedlings died of drought and had to be replanted later. This made this large area of ​​land look less neat, some places are much taller, some are already golden, but most of them are still lush and green.

In the ditches on both sides of the road, the sound of water is gurgling. Every time you walk a distance, you can see a large pond with wavy scales. If you are lucky enough, you can occasionally see fish jumping out of the water, bringing strings of water droplets flashing colorful light on the sunlight.

"Can you imagine these places encountered a drought that was rare in decades a few months ago?" Liu Ruyan turned around and looked at Senobude, her eyes full of pride.

"This is the Tang Dynasty today. Even if natural disasters occur from time to time, we have the ability to minimize the impact of disasters and try not to affect the normal lives of the people as much as possible."

Xenobud nodded. After all, this is the strength of a country.

Tubo is also a great country that has thousands of miles away. God either does something in the east or makes some trouble in the west, and it cannot be stopped. The territory of the Tang Dynasty is larger than that of Tubo, so such things will naturally be constantly.

In Tubo, whenever such a major disaster occurs, although there are pensions, it is more important to let the people die on their own. The greatest function of the government is to prevent riots after the disaster. In the event of a major disaster, there will always be riots, and in the end it will be ended with the rolling heads of people.

"You left this road two years ago, and you came back along this road two years later, and you didn't find any difference?" Liu Ruyan looked at Senobud with some joke.

Thanobud was a little confused, and seemed to have only more large ponds. This must be because of the drought this time that local officials learned from their mistakes, so more reservoirs were built.

"The road under your feet!" Liu Ruyan said with a smile: "Don't you feel smoother?"

After Liu Ruyan reminded him, Thanobud realized that the carriage was not bumpy at all because of the advanced technology on Liu Ruyan's luxurious carriage, but he did not expect to go on the road.

At this moment, he turned his head to look at the road outside, and then he realized that the road was completely different from when he left two years ago. At that time, the road was so wide, but it was paved with gravel and then flattened with stone mills. Although it was very strong, it was still a bit bumpy. But now, wherever it was visible, it was like the water surface when it was still, and it was so gray that it was not obvious what material was made of.

"This is……"

"This is a new material, which was discovered last year. After a year of improvement, it has only begun to be applied to actual life this year." Liu Ruyan said: "Your Majesty named this new material cement. Using this material to build houses and roads is not only extremely fast, but more importantly, it is harder than iron stone."

"The Tang Dynasty can always create all kinds of new things, which is unattractive." Senobude was not too surprised. In the Tang Dynasty, he saw too many new things that were invented.

"Whenever you encounter such a major disaster, the court will devote great efforts to the construction of large-scale projects so that the people can have a place to make money. This road was built after the drought occurred." Liu Ruyan said: "Have you been to Shandong and Henan?"

"I've been there." Sinobud nodded, "I have visited Governor Pei Ju in Henan, and also visited Governor Zhang Xun in Qingzhou."

"Henan and Shandong have suffered floods this time." Liu Ruyan said: "The changes in these two places are even greater. This flood that is rare in a century has also drawn a line for us. Those places are not suitable for living and are clearly marked by God. If you go again, many places will probably not recognize them. These two places are carrying out roads, houses, and some cities, and even overall relocation."

Xenobud was surprised: "How much money does this require?"

"Silver money naturally needs to be invested. However, in these reconstruction processes, more output will be produced and more business will be driven. I don't know much about this. After arriving in Chang'an, you can ask Wang Mingyi or Xia He." Liu Ruyan smiled. "Senobud, I also recommend you go to Henan and Shandong to see. After the war, Tubo will be in trouble. You should go and see, especially Henan, to see how Pei Ju and the others rebuilt."

"You must go to these places." Sinobud said solemnly. "If your Majesty allows you, I would like to seek some experienced officials from these places and go back with me. However, compared with the Central Plains, Tubo is far away and bitter and cold, and I am afraid that these people will not want to follow me."

"You can talk to Your Majesty about this matter. By the way, there is Yang Kai from the Personnel Committee. As long as they obtain their consent, this matter will not be that difficult!" Liu Ruyan said. "The Western Regions and the Northeast are not much better than your Tubo. Are there many people rushing to go? As long as there is policy support from the court, are you still afraid that no one will go?"

"I'll ask the queen to give me some advice." Xenobud bowed.

"There is no secret here!" Liu Ruyan laughed: "When you go to Chang'an, you will find an official and you will know it by asking. At the beginning, no one was willing to go to these places. Later, the court had such an internal policy. Anyone who was willing to go to these remote and hard-working places would be promoted to one level to two levels. After working in these places for three to five years, you can apply for transfer. Moreover, in these places, the salary will be more than twice as high as the Central Plains. There are other various preferential measures, such as the problem of baby study. Every official who goes there is qualified to recommend one person to study in the advanced colleges of the Empire. You may not know how difficult it is to get into the advanced colleges of the Empire now? Even those scholars from all generations may not be sure."

"In this way, can I ask His Majesty for such a policy?"

"Why not?" Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "At that time, I'm afraid you won't have too many people and don't have any talent, so you can't have them yet! This is called supporting the border in the court."

"In this way, I'll feel relieved." Xenobud finally showed his face.

In the Tang Dynasty, there is actually a truth that Senobud understood. If the world is peaceful and the people are safe and rebellious, they will not cause chaos. In the final analysis, it is one thing to make the people rich.

Who has the money in his pocket and is willing to do things that have passed today and not tomorrow with his head on his back?

People's hearts are actually seeking stability.

Everyone has thought about it in peacetime.

He would rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled person. When Snowbud was living in Wuyi, he was quite touched by this sentence mentioned in a book he read.

Along the way, Snowbud, who had been hurting himself for the destruction of Tubo country and became a traitor in the eyes of his old colleagues and relatives, finally suddenly became enlightened.

Now that things have come to this point, what else can you say?

The past is like morning dew, but it has never returned. If I can really do everything that Liu Ruyan said, then I will live up to this life and have a clear conscience.

He didn't want the Qinghai-Tibet Province to finally get into another method that Liu Ruyan said in her mouth.

The convoy slowly moved forward.

The sun shines on the accompanying team.

For those who sit in the carriage, at least ice cubes can cool down, the soldiers are undoubtedly the hardest. Although they don’t have to wear armor, the strict military discipline of the Tang army still requires them to dress neatly. Under such a sun, they are also a little weak, and no one is in the mood to speak.

It was at this moment that a voice suddenly broke the silence.

"Ma Liyong, the chief of the first outpost of the 5th Battalion of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Brigade of the Left Wu Guard of the Tang Dynasty, congratulated the army on its triumphant return, the Left Wu Guard of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty won thousands of victories."

The sound was very loud, and everyone could hear it clearly among the scales of chariots and horses.

When he heard this, the knights on both sides of the road involuntarily rushed into their chests, sat up straight, and looked at the roadside with their eyes.

A man in a short off-shoulder jacket stood by the roadside, but he gave them a standard military salute. Behind him, more than a dozen dressed villagers were a little far away. After Ma Liyong finished shouting, he waved the straw hats and other objects in his hand in a mess and shouted: "Long live the mighty Tang Dynasty, your Majesty!"

"Get peace for all ages!" The Zuowu Guards who were accompanying each other raised the swords and guns in their hands and roared.

Ma Liyong was not surprised. He watched the cavalry slowly walk past him with a smile, but the villagers behind him showed shock on their faces.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ruyan, in the carriage, suddenly heard the shouts coming from the front, and gently knocked on the window and asked.

"Empress, I've already asked someone." Someone outside responded.

A moment later, someone said outside the window: "Empress, I happened to meet a retired soldier from the Zuo Wu Guard. I saw the flag of the Zuo Wu Guard and congratulated my army on my return in triumphant success. This person participated in the Battle of Yinzhou, Ganzhou."
