Chapter 292 Li Shimin's experiences along the way!

Li Shimin is coming to Yizhou, and the royal palace needs to be prepared. Li Yan, an official from Yizhou, is also preparing to say hello in advance to avoid any unexpected situations. After all, more than two years have passed, and the changes in Yizhou are not a little bit. Moreover, the people of Yizhou are used to freedom. At that time, there will be a few 25 people who will collide with Li Shimin, which is not a joke, but will lose their heads. Therefore, he explained the matter of the royal palace with Cui Yingying. He discussed with Su Moer the arrangements of Wu Hou during the period when Li Shimin came to maintain the public order in Yizhou.

Immediately, he summoned officials from Yizhou to tell them about this matter, just to make them mentally prepared, not as hiding as Li Shimin came last time, because Li Yan no longer needs to be as worried as before. First, the growth of strength, and second, the growth of science and technology has formed an irreparable technological period with other places, which makes them unable to copy even if they understand this technology, because these things cannot be produced without a strong industrial foundation.

When Li Yan told the news, the officials in Yizhou were very calm, just like they were going to receive guests, and did not show any surprises, which surprised Li Yan and was relieved. This showed that in the eyes of these officials, Li Yan, the fiefdom under the rule of Shu King and Li Yan, was gradually only Li Yan, the king of Shu and Li Yan, and no longer cared about whether they could be appreciated by Li Shimin.

It took three days to prepare everything, Li Yan and the others were just waiting for Li Shimin's arrival...

"Father! When will we arrive?" Yizi asked lying in Li Shimin's arms and narrowed her eyes. She had just lie in Li Shimin's arms and slept for a while. She had just woken up and set out from Chang'an. It had been almost half a month since she walked along the way, but she had not seen the shadow of Yizhou, so Yizi couldn't help but feel impatient.

Empress Changsun and Li Shimin shared a carriage. She smiled and said, "It's almost done, I'm so anxious to see your sixth brother!"

Yizi snorted and said, "Who wants to see him? I have known to go back to Chang'an to play with Yizi after more than a year."

"Your sixth brother manages such a large fiefdom, so how can you have so much time to go to Chang'an to play? You are just greedy. Does your sixth brother send you less snacks every year?" Li Shimin said, shaving the nose of the wicked girl.

He pulled Yizi into his arms with a doting heart, and Empress Changsun said, "In the future, when you study in Yizhou, you have time to play with your sixth brother. Then don't cry every day and go back to Chang'an."

"Not afraid. Anyway, Brother Ninth is with me, Brother Seventh and Brother Ninth." Yizi counted one by one.

Looking at the cute appearance of Xuzi, Empress Changsun was a little reluctant and said to Li Shimin: "Emperor, Xuzi is still so young, do you really want her to stay in Yizhou to study?"

"Yizi is seven years old this year, and it's not too young. Since he wants to learn, he has to start from elementary school so that he can truly master some new things." Li Shimin said in pondering. Now he has learned from all aspects and has reflected that Yizhou has developed very rapidly in the past three years, and various new skills and commodities have emerged one after another. Many new things have even exceeded his imagination, which makes him unable to sit still. So he chose to go to Yizhou this summer to see the specific situation, and by the way, several young princes and princesses also came here to study.

Empress Changsun could not argue when she heard this. It was her idea to let these princes and princesses come to Yizhou to study, because she had already deeply felt the uniqueness of Yizhou during her days in Yizhou.

"Emperor. In front of him is the fiefdom of the King of Shu. I have already seen the concrete road." Wang Gui's voice sounded outside.

Upon hearing this, Wei Zi's eyes lit up. He immediately lifted the curtain of the car, and Li Shimin looked outside with great interest. It turned out that he had passed a small section of mud road in front, and a spacious concrete road was not far away. Li Shimin looked at it and it was as wide as ten meters wide. The surface of the concrete road was very smooth and flat. Lying on the land surrounded by loess, it was like a silver belt extending forward, very beautiful.

"What is the realm now?" asked Empress Changsun. She clearly remembered that the cement road had not yet been built to this location when she returned to Chang'an.

Wang Gui said: "If you go back to the queen, this is already the territory of Mianzhou."

Upon hearing this, Empress Changsun showed a surprised expression and sighed: "Liulang's fiefdom has changed three times a day. When I returned last year, I only built the boundary of Zizhou. This year, I arrived in Mianzhou again. It is estimated that each state in Liulang's fiefdom has cement main roads."

Li Shimin was still shocked. He was much more surprised than Empress Changsun at this time. After all, when he came to Yizhou, he had only built a concrete road in Yizhou City. The road was still very narrow, and it was a concrete main road worth more than ten meters.

The carriage immediately stabilized when it got on the concrete main road, and the speed also increased a lot. Li Shimin felt relieved physically and mentally. The bumps of the carriage along the way made him feel uncomfortable, and sitting in the carriage at this time was a pleasure.

"Father, is this the concrete road?" Yizi said, pointing to the flat and tidy road, "It's so beautiful, and it looks very strong."

"That's right, this is what Brother Six has torn. Mianzhou has changed like this. My father is really looking forward to what is going on in Yizhou now." A smile appeared on Li Shimin's lips.

Empress Changsun said, "Emperor, I promise you that you will be surprised."

It suddenly became stable immediately. Not only Li Shimin, but the concubines and princes in the other carriages also poked their heads out to look at these strange things, as if Liu Laolao had entered the Grand View Garden and was very novel in front of the concrete main road. In addition to being novel, Yang Fei was more proud in her heart.

In the past, it took nearly four days to get from Mianzhou to Yizhou, but now Li Shimin's team only took more than two days to arrive outside Yizhou City. For this reason, Li Shimin felt a little more emotion.

"Stop!" Li Shimin suddenly gave an order while the team was moving.

Wang Gui, who was walking in front, walked over in confusion and said, "Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"

"Prepare horses for me? I want to see what is being built?" Li Shimin said, looking at the building complex under construction on a large scale. At this time, he was still a distance from the inner city of Yizhou. He was located in the outer city that was being expanded in Yizhou. According to Li Yan's design, the outer city walls expanded outward twenty miles on the basis of the old city, namely the North City District, the East City District, the West City District and the South City District. Each city recreates the walls to build the inner city and wraps the inner city inside.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Gui retreated and soon led a horse over.

As for Mianzhou, it is probably much more lively and noisy outside Yizhou City than Mianzhou. The merchants and merchants were passing by on the road, standing side by side. Looking at Li Shimin's team, the merchants stopped to salute. The newspapers in Yizhou had reported that Li Shimin was coming to Yizhou. When these people saw such a magnificent team, they understood who was coming.

After getting on the horse, Li Shimin asked the team to drive slowly, while he rode his horse around the outer city.

"Father, please accompany you!" Cheng Huailiang came over on a horse, and he was responsible for Li Shimin's safety this time.

"Yeah, okay!" Li Shimin nodded.

In fact, it is not for Li Shimin to be so shocked at this time, because at this time, the outer city has built roads with all connections, which are horizontal and vertical, dividing the land into square grids, and these roads are all clean and flat concrete roads, which look very regular from a distance.

On these lands divided into squares, many two-story buildings are under construction. Although the style is similar to ordinary buildings, Li Shimin strangely said that such two-story buildings are generally restaurants and shops. At this time, many such buildings are being built here, which makes it unreasonable. It is impossible for Yizhou to build so many restaurants at one time, and it is so far from Yizhou urban area.

Following one of the roads towards a completed building area, Li Shimin's eyes swept across the busy craftsmen and found that these craftsmen were very happy when working. He was a little confused. Are these people not corvee labor? How could corvee labor be so happy if it is, because corvee labor is the thing that the people hate the most.

While he was thinking, a man holding the drawing turned to look at Li Shimin. Then he showed a surprised expression, walked quickly to the road, saluted Li Shimin on his horse, and said, "Slave Yang Li, please see the emperor!" (To be continued...)
