The First Family of Tang Dynasty

"In other words, we only spent five hours and two quarters of an hour.

I have arrived at Luzhou City from Rongzhou three hundred miles away..." Li Ji murmured in a low voice.

I looked around, watching the tired merchants all leave the station and rushed towards Luzhou City not far away.

I turned my head and looked at it, it still looked very lively at this moment, and there were also stations that have been arriving by horse-drawn carriages one after another.

Li Ji stayed here for a while, and he could only follow the governor of Jiannan Dao.

Li Ji can easily inquire a lot of news. For example, the whole Luzhou is not

The Tang Dynasty also stipulated expressly for the itinerary of the stagecoach, that the Lu Yikuaibao walked six stages a day, which is 180 miles.

It's almost three hundred miles a day, and the fastest requirement is five hundred miles or even eight hundred miles.

But the problem is that those are used to convey important news, military affairs.

But here in Luzhou, he actually traveled three hundred miles a day just to transport those business travelers. This really made Li Ji a little speechless.

"It's no wonder that the development of Luzhou can be so rapid. It turns out that this smooth traffic can indeed attract a lot of business travel."

Even Li Ji himself felt that although he was riding more freely, he was riding with frost and rain, which was the most difficult in winter.

Even if it's a carriage, I'm sorry, except for the main official road from Chang'an to Luoyang.

The other official roads want to let the carriage speed, unless they don't treat the passengers inside as human beings.

In short, if you want to run so madly, you will either break the carriage first, or put people into a silly fork.

Li Ji raised his hand and stomped on the flat concrete floor. There were still light marks on the concrete road surface.

This is naturally made to increase the friction between the tire and the road, not to make it upset...

"Master, shall we enter the city?"

Li Ji then slowly got up and nodded, took a big step, and headed towards the inner city of Luzhou.

However, Li Ji didn't go straight to the Luzhou Metropolitan Government House for the first time. Instead, he found a lively inn in Luzhou City and stayed there.

The reason is to wait for the accompanying officials to come and converge before heading to the Metropolitan Government.

But in reality, Li Ji wanted to get a good taste of Luzhou’s personalities, customs, geography and people before seeing Cheng Saburo and Li Ke.

See if it is really what the three young people said, this is a serious matter secretly confessed by your majesty.

#####

After entering the inn, Li Ji did not go straight back to the house to rest but stayed in the lobby, where he spent dinner.

He stunned his ears and listened to the chatting and laughing of those diners who were also eating.

But most of them are ordinary topics. The Dong parents, Li Jia is short, and Li Ji's face is dull.

At this moment, I saw two tired-looking guests walking into this inn restaurant.

I ordered some food and drink, and drank it here.

"Gu Guanshi, how about your Shunzhou farm in the past few months?"

"Hey... I won't mention it. Since the beginning of winter, the number of business travelers has dropped a lot. Fortunately, the Metropolitan Government has launched this interstate shuttle bus."

"Allowing those business travelers to travel between the states in such a tough weather will make life easier for me, my little brother."

Hearing this kind of conversation, Li Ji's spirits immediately refreshed, his speed of chewing food also slowed down, and he listened attentively to the conversation between the two.

One is a manager from a commercial firm in Changning Prefecture, and the other is a manager from a farming firm in Shunzhou.

The two talked about the impact on their business after the cold weather, after listening for a while.

Li Ji picked up his pot of fine wine and walked slowly to the stewards of these two firms.

After a lot of greetings, the two firms in charge were naturally human beings. Seeing this extraordinary temperament, he looked like a middle-aged man who had been in a high position for a long time and he wanted to chat, naturally he wouldn't rush people.

Asked Li Ji to sit with them and ordered three glasses of wine in a row. Li Ji asked the shop assistant to bring two more pots of wine.

Then he said with a smile to the two.

"Both of them are in charge of various Luzhou commercial banks in this Luzhou, and they must have a good understanding of this land of Luzhou."

"The old man comes from a foreign country and has always heard that this land in southern Shu is not as rich as the land in Shu.

In addition, there are many conflicts between the monks and the people, causing the people to lose their livelihood, and even the Jilinzhou often has conflicts with each other. "

"But I just heard what the two said, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, it seems that Luzhou is full of singing and dancing..."

Upon hearing this, the two managers looked at each other with a tacit smile. Among them, Guanshi Gu smiled and bowed to Li Ji.

"Mr. Li, such rumors are about Luzhou in the past, not Luzhou today."

"In fact, there are too many people who have questions like you, Mr. Li, but almost all people who have first arrived in Luzhou have such thoughts."

"But today's Luzhou is really like what Mr. Li said, it's a lot of singing and dancing, and the people are very rich."

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank our Luzhou governor for his diligence and love for the people, for making Luzhou a prosperous business."

"Yeah, yeah...Like our Changning Prefecture, now it is considered the richest Jizhou in Luzhou."

"Changning Prefecture used to be short of food and clothing, and the people of the Liao people were hungry and full. Sometimes when the green and yellow were not available, they could only hunt for game in the mountains.

However, since the newly appointed Governor of Luzhou came to Luzhou, he let the Han and Tang merchants stationed in Zhuzhizhou.

Their early investment quickly gave Zhujizhou a taste of the sweetness, and now there are many factories, mines and workshops in Changning Prefecture.

And there are more than ten bamboo rat farms alone.

In the first year, coal mines were the pillar industry in Changning Prefecture, but nowadays, the profits from coal mines have become smaller and smaller.

As for the people in Changning Prefecture, almost every family has food and winter clothes.

No longer like in the past, after eating the last meal and not the next one, between each other, they can only rob each other...

Hearing the discussion of these two stewards, they were full of words of praise for the Luzhou Dudu Mansion.

It is said that the Yushu Linfeng of the Luzhou Chief Governor, and the diligent and loving people of the Luzhou Chief Governor, often went to the people and asked the people warmly.
