Chapter 1448 Travel (Part 2)

Li Chengqian actually didn't know much about Xu Hui. This time this time it was the first time that he saw a real person. After standing by the carriage and saying a few words, he found an excuse to slip aside.

After all, this is the old man's woman, and she is also very beautiful. With her age similar to Li Chengqian, Comrade Xiao Li had to consider the old man's ideas and some rumors.

Seeing that he had something to do, Xu Hui knew that Li Chengqian was willing to avoid suspicion, and smiled with understanding, so she turned around and left, so that he could not run to feed the horses.

"What did you say to that brat?" Although Li Er had been with his wife all the time, he also noticed the contact between Li Chengqian and Xu Hui, and asked casually when she came back.

Xu Hui first nodded to Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang, and then said to the old man: "I wanted to ask Your Highness about poetry, but Your Highness seemed to have not had a good rest last night, so I couldn't disturb you, so I came back."

"This brat is so proud." His Majesty Li Er glanced at Li Chengqian who was spinning around the big tree: "Xu Cairen doesn't have to pay attention to him. I will let him go to your place in person when I have time."

"I thank Your Majesty!" Xu Hui nodded and thanked Li Er.

But she also knew that "力" might be what year it was, and she might even have hopelessness in this life.

...

Li Er and his group stood at the entrance of the village and chatted, looking around. Not long after, a young man brought someone out.

After the man came out, he glanced at everyone. When he saw Li Chengqian, his eyes lit up and walked up to him: "The villain has seen Your Highness, but I haven't seen you for many days. How can you?"

"I am very good. I think you have looked much haggard during this period. Come on, I will recommend you." Li Chengqian smiled at the young man, said hello, and came to the old man.

"These are my king's..." Li Chengqian said as he looked at the old man, and continued under the sign of Old Li without any trace: "He is the elder of my king's clan. You can accompany you and ask you what truthful answers."

"Yes, the villain follows the order." The young man replied carefully at Li Chengqian's instructions.

The person who can make Li Chengqian recognize himself as his junior and accompany him carefully has already been revealed. If he hadn't seen many big shots during this period, he would probably have been so scared that he would have lying on the ground.

His Majesty Li Er glanced at Li Chengqian, and was quite a bit surprised that he was too much. Then he looked at the young man and asked, "What's your name? But the village chief here?"

"When I say this...sir, the villain is named Zheng Hao, who is the district mayor here."

Just right? Someone called this name? His Majesty Li Er twitched his lips and almost laughed. It was the first time that Li Chengqian heard about a young man's name, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

"That, my father's surname is Zheng, my mother's surname is Hao, and this is how the villain's name comes from, not the 'just' that the noble man thought." The young man seemed to have experienced such things many times. When he saw Li Er's expression, he knew what he was thinking, and he couldn't help scratching his head awkwardly.

Although His Majesty Li Er still thought the young man's name was a little funny, he still suppressed his smile, pretended to look around and asked, "Okay. Zheng Hao, I'm here to ask you, what does this district chief mean?"

"In the past, His Highness the Crown Prince built a farm here, but later he planned to develop it and turn it into an industrial development zone. The district mayor is the person in charge of this area." Zheng Hao replied.

"Industrial Development Zone? What is that?" His Majesty Li Er frowned and looked at Li Chengqian.

"When I go back to my father, the industrial development zone means that it is not mainly agriculture, and industry is the source of economics here." Li Chengqian explained.

Since he brought Songtsen Gampo to him last time, he hasn't come back for a long time, and he hasn't even cared about this place anymore. If he really gave him a detailed introduction, he probably won't understand it.

So after explaining to the old man, he looked at Zheng Hao and signaled him to take over the topic as soon as possible.

"Sir, we mainly include oil workshops, glass workshops, felt workshops, down jacket workshops, and two farms, one raises pigs and the other raises poultry, and the other is the large experimental field you see."

"The main crops grown here are beans, which can facilitate the provision of raw materials for the oil mill; in addition, the farm can provide fertilizer for the crops, and poultry farming can also provide raw materials for the down jacket workshop."

Zheng Hao was with Li Er, carefully introducing everything in this area. He was sweating constantly on the hot day.

The former prince had no right to speak, and this big man was so big that he was beyond the reach of Zheng Hao's opinion that no one would suppress Li Chengqian to such an extent except for the current emperor.

The emperor is the emperor. Although Zheng Hao once thought about whether he would have the chance to meet the emperor, it was just a thought. It was not much different from the good dragons of Ye Gong in ancient times. Now when he saw a living person, if he was not afraid, he would be a ghost.

"This was a village before, right?" Li Er and his party had already passed through the entire village and came to the other end. Looking at the towering chimneys and boundless fields, Lao Li was in high spirits.

"Yes, it used to be a small village with only a dozen families. Thanks to the care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this made such a big change in the village." Zheng Hao replied.

"Well, there are only a few hundred families here now, right? But why don't you see anyone? Where are the people in the village?" His Majesty Li Er continued to ask after looking back at the village behind him.

"There are 532 households in total, almost all of them from the farm. Now it's the busy farming season, and the young and strong have gone to the fields to work. The women originally had nothing to do at home, but now because of some machines, there is no physical labor in the workshop, and those women are competent, so all the women in the village have gone to the workshop to work." Zheng Hao said this, his face was filled with a hint of glory.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, there are not many villages where everyone has something to do, and the village of the side is one of them.

The oil mill used to be the head of men, but now it has been replaced by women. With the power of steam engines, it has become much easier and less physical work, so men cannot use them at all.

Women are also good at raising pigs and chickens. In the past, each family raised their own, but now it has become an industry. If a large farm can only take care of it, it saves a lot of labor.

As for the glass shop, it was made by men. The thing about Bebig glass was too heavy and the women were weak and could not do it.

The most important thing is that with those glass sheds, vegetables can be grown in winter. This means that the villagers have something to do all year round, and that the villagers will have income all year round, which was completely unimaginable before.

His Majesty Li Er walked around aimlessly, while Empress Changsun, Concubine Yang, and Xu Hui followed behind and looked around curiously.

"How much income is in the village? Can life continue?" After a while, His Majesty Li Er suddenly asked.

"Earning? Haha, I'm not to be hiding, the life in the village can no longer be measured by whether it can be lived." Zheng Hao finally adapted after a morning of contact. Hearing the old man's question, he replied with a smile: "In fact, every family in the village has real estate in Chang'an City, big or small, and every year can live many times better than before by the rent of real estate in the city."

"But everyone is thinking about the goodness of His Royal Highness, and think that since His Royal Highness handed over this industrial zone to us, we should not let him down. We must become the richest village in the entire Tang Dynasty, and spread our experiences so that other villages will become rich like us. Only in this way can we be worthy of His Royal Highness's trust in us."

Zheng Hao became more and more excited as he spoke. Although he knew that Li Chengqian was not the prince now, he just felt that this should not be the case. Everything here was given by the prince. If there was no prince, they would not be what they are today.

However, because His Royal Highness said a few words to the people, and because the soldiers who died on the battlefield said a few words, the so-called literati went to sue him together, and even deposed his position as the prince.

This is wrong. If it is not right, then it needs to be changed.

Now the emperor is by his side. This is an opportunity, an opportunity to speak for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If he didn't say it at this time, Zheng Hao felt that he would never be able to raise his head in his life. If the villagers knew about it, they would poke the backbone of the Zheng family for the rest of their life.

"King Hengshan, what do you say?" His Majesty Li Er seemed to have thought of something, and asked in a deep voice as he looked at Li Chengqian on the side.

Li Chengqian sighed, knowing that Zheng Hao must have seen through the old man's identity before saying this. He smiled bitterly and bowed and said, "There is nothing to say!"

"Your Majesty! The villain is brave enough to plead for Your Highness. Please give up your hands and restore his position as the crown prince!" Zheng Hao seemed to have taken his leave, and he knelt on his knees to touch the ground with his head, which is very meaningful to petition for the people of the world.

It turned out that Xingzang had been seen through a long time ago. Fortunately, the old man pretended to behave well. In fact, after knowing that this was Li Chengqian's back garden, Lao Li should have realized this problem. It's really a pity that he can still pretend.

Queen Changsun glanced at the embarrassing Li Er: "Zheng Hao, get up, you can say anything slowly. Qian'er is a good child. We also know that you are very grateful to him, but if you are wrong, it is wrong. It is not that a good child will not have to be punished if he makes a mistake, do you understand?"

"Little man..." Zheng Hao wanted to say something else, but at this time, the guards who had already come with Li Er came forward and helped him up.

"Are you just saying the truth? Are you really willing to pass on all the experiences in your village to others? Tell the truth!" Since his identity has been revealed, His Majesty Li Er simply stopped disguising himself and took off his kind face and showed his true identity as an emperor.
