Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 135
The topic of Changle has been talking about leaving Chang'an, it is so joyful!

Unexpectedly, the princess of a country would be addicted to making cakes, and even tried them herself!Don't you want to find a few maids to try it?

Li Chengqian explained this, don't look at the graceful maidens around Changle, it's because their seniors couldn't walk because they were eaten...

Hahahaha... let me laugh for a while!

Since Li Chengqian left Chang'an, he has been sitting at the window of the carriage looking into the distance.

I haven't been out of Chang'an for a long time. I think it was still green when I came out last time, but now it is full of withered yellow!
The passers-by on the side of the road looked hurried and stooped.The icy cold wind in Chang'an in winter really woke up Li Chengqian who stayed in the palace all day.

"Ding Yi, why do you think these people are wearing such thin clothes? Aren't they cold?"

Is this kid stupid?
"Your Highness, we live a life of rich clothes and fine food, but more people in the Tang Dynasty are working hard for a morsel of food. It is not easy to have a piece of clothing to keep out the cold in this winter! Many people have no clothes to wear, and the family can only go out. Only those who work can wear a thin cloth!"

Li Chengqian was shocked, the clothes were only worn by the working people of the family!This shocked Li Chengqian who lived in the palace compound!

"They... why is my Tang Dynasty so poor?" Even the people in Chang'an, the lowest-level slaves, don't even have decent clothes. Now that the Tang Dynasty is so powerful, how could it be so!
"Your Highness, the powerful and wealthy are only the upper and middle classes of the Tang Dynasty, but most of these people are concentrated in prosperous places such as Chang'an and Luoyang, and most of them are ordinary people like them in the Tang Dynasty!" Ding Yi pointed at the pedestrians outside the window, Said with a dull face.

Li Chengqian remained silent for a long time, which made the once proud Prince feel deeply guilty.In the past, going out to play in the palace was mostly arranged by the palace people.He had never seen these before, and he always thought that although the people of Tang Dynasty had refugees, they were not so poor!But today, the scene in front of him refreshed his three views.

It was silent all the way, and finally walked into Shiping Land.

Now that the weather is getting colder, the difficulty of construction has increased a lot, but the foundation has already been laid, but it will be affected when it is mixed with cement. This is not too difficult, just do a little less each time.

Li Chengqian looked at the craftsmen who were going back and forth. Everyone here was wearing several layers of clothes, and because of the non-stop work, there was even a white mist on their heads.

Now that the sky is approaching dusk, there are shouts from the construction site, work is over!
I saw those workers packing up the work in their hands, patting the dirt on their bodies, and walking towards a shed.

The workers lined up very consciously, holding bowls and chopsticks in their muddy hands.After a while, he had a steaming bowl of noodles in broth, with a few big white steamed buns in his hands, and walked aside with a full face of enjoyment, three or five people gathered around chatting and eating!
And the people coming and going on the nearby roads all straightened their backs, their faces were in a hurry, and they held papers in their hands and didn't know what to do.

"Ding Yi, here?" Li Chengqian asked suspiciously, didn't he mean that the people are poor?Why are the people here full of smiles, the clothes they wear are steaming, and the food they eat looks so delicious!

"Oh, the city is being built here, and these are workers on the construction site. They are also people from the surrounding areas of Shiping. They come out to work when there is nothing to do in the fields!"

"This palace is asking why they are different from those ordinary people!"

"Well, they have at least [-] Wen a day's wages, and they also take care of two meals!" Ding Yi explained nonchalantly.

"Thirty Wen? Take care of two meals?" Can they meet such a condition?Although Li Chengqian would go shopping in Chang'an occasionally, he only lingered in those shops, and never knew anything about the lives of the common people.

The people here are completely different from those I have seen before!
"Don't they need to farm?"

Ding Yiwang looked at Li Chengqian like an idiot, and said, "Why are you farming in winter!"

Li Chengqian was embarrassed, how could such a common sense question come out so easily!

"In addition to spring farming and autumn harvest, the rest of the people is labor and military service. These are all free, so how can the people get income in their spare time? Not to mention those tenants, if the owner charges a few percent more rent How they live this year is a problem!" The sudden sigh, the farmers in this era are indeed pitiful!
"Isn't it right to do hard labor? And it's only natural for the tenants to pay the rent!" Li Chengqian said to Ding Yi seriously with an innocent face.

"Hehe, as long as His Highness is happy! We're here, let's get out of the car!"

Ding Yi's attitude made Li Chengqian feel uncomfortable for a while, this mocking tone seemed to be mocking Ben Gong's ignorance.He wanted to catch him and let him explain clearly, but he had already got off the carriage.

Xiao Qing was already waiting outside the door, and when she saw Ding coming, she hurried over.

"Master!"

"Well, come down quickly, Your Highness!!" Ding Yi responded and urged Li Chengqian.

Xiao Qing was taken aback, His Royal Highness followed the young master to Shiping!

Leading Li Chengqian into the mansion, the chrysanthemums in the courtyard have long been dilapidated, and the places where flowers and plants were originally planted are now devastated!

woof woof~
Three dog barks came, and Erha, Dick, and Rhubarb rushed forward!
Ding Yi smiled and waved, Erha saw Ding Yi's expression and hurriedly stopped.

"Dick, rhubarb, give me a bite!"

(⊿)...

Dick Rhubarb froze in place, not understanding why the master did this.But Erha hastily turned around and ran away...

"Ding Yi, the coats of your dogs are so beautiful! Where did you get them?" Li Chengqian tentatively reached out to touch the rhubarb, but Dick gritted his teeth!
"Dick!"

Hearing Ding Yi's voice, Dick quickly restrained himself, rubbed against Ding Yi's thigh, and told his thoughts~

Rhubarb was very obedient, looking at the man who came in with his master, he lowered his head obediently, and accepted Li Chengqian's touch with enjoyment.

"elder brother!"

Before people arrive, the voice arrives first!
Tang Xuejian ran out of the backyard with cheerful steps, and threw herself on Ding Yi.

Ding Yi fondled her little head, and said softly, "Come on, explain to me! Why did my garden become like this!"

Hearing this, Tang Xue saw that she slipped off Ding Yi's body.

"Yu Niang is still waiting to teach me how to be a female star, I'll go first!" Tang Xuejian, who was guilty, made up an excuse and ran away in a hurry...

"Haha, I didn't expect Lingmei to be so interesting!" Li Chengqian had met Tang Xuejian before, and she was not as free as she is now.

"Let His Highness laugh!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I really like her!"

Um?Ding Yi looked at Li Chengqian in shock, you...

"Ding Yi, you're back! Let's go, let's go see this king's hot air balloon!"

"Blue sparrow?"

"Big brother?"
