I'm a marquis in Datang

Shangguanyi said: "That's good."

After clarifying the follow-up arrangements with Xue Rengui, Shangguanyi got up and left, and returned directly to the palace to report.

Chapter 1247

Overnight in a ruined temple

The busy March has passed in a blink of an eye.

This month, both Lan Changhe and Xue Rengui were too busy to touch the ground.Lan Changhe was in charge of spring plowing, while Xue Rengui was constantly dispatching soldiers to farms in various prefectures in the Guanzhou area to cultivate, and he was busy for a month.

One month later, spring plowing is over.

Everything calmed down.

With the end of farming, the Lanchang River has completely established itself in the Jingzhou area.In particular, the grain was transferred from Xia Kingdom to Jingzhou, and a large amount of grain entered the market. The price of grain in Jingzhou and even Chang'an began to stabilize, and the relief from work gave the people the opportunity to earn money to buy grain, so until now, the local area has begun to recover come over.In particular, commercial development is rapidly recovering.

complex.

The entire Jingzhou, and even Longzhou and Qizhou are recovering rapidly.

Similarly, Longyou Dao is also recovering.

In mid-April, Ma Yuan arrived in Chang'an first. After meeting with Du Qi in Chang'an, he reported the situation of Bolang City to Du Qi, and then dispatched troops to the north to attack Li Ke in Youzhou.At the end of April, the Fourth Army led by Su Dingfang also arrived in Chang'an. After a short rest, they also led their troops northward and went straight to Bingzhou to attack Li Tai.

The armies of the three routes advanced side by side and dispatched their own troops.It's just that up to now, Xiao Yuanqi, who left first, has not yet made a breakthrough. After all, it is not an easy task to enter Bashu.

Du Qi didn't care about this. Anyway, the three armies marched independently, and Du Qi didn't interfere.Du Qi is now mainly staying in Chang'an

, Responsible for coordinating the rear and stabilizing the situation in Longyou Province and Gyeonggi Province.

The weather at the end of April was breezy and breezy, and Du Qi was a little tired of staying in the Chang'an Palace.After all, being in the palace all the time, besides dealing with government affairs, even copying books every day, after a long time, is also boring.

On this day, Du Qi called Shangguanyi over and told him, "Shangguanyi, I have nothing to do now. Let's go out to the palace for a stroll, and then take a walk in Jingzhou to learn about the local situation. Always stay in a daze In the palace, it's almost rusting."

Shangguanyi laughed and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

He has been in the Chang'an Imperial Palace all along and has nothing to do, so it would be great to be able to go out for a while now.And taking advantage of this opportunity, you can also walk around and look around to learn about the local situation.

Du Qi immediately made arrangements. This time, Du Qi was traveling, accompanied by Shangguanyi, Guan Zhilan, Mo Ledo, and Liu Jian.

A group of soldiers followed secretly from a distance to ensure Du Qi's safety.

After Du Qi and his party left the palace, they first went to Chang'an's East Market.Although the current Chang'an East City is still full of people, it is much worse than the former Chang'an East City. It will take a long time to return to its former glory.

It took more than a month for Xia Guo's property in Chang'an to recover.

Restaurants, tea shops, etc., have all been restored.

It's just that the current business is not as prosperous as it used to be. After all, the prosperity of Chang'an is not as prosperous as it used to be.In particular, many high-ranking officials and nobles left Chang'an. The departure of these people made many people in Chang'an city leave virtually, and the business was naturally affected.

Before that, Lan Changhe killed nearly [-] merchants in a series of killings, causing countless deaths and injuries to grain merchants.The killing at that time also frightened everyone.

Some merchants caused some merchants to leave Chang'an, so although Chang'an has recovered its prosperity, there is still a long way to go, and it cannot be restored overnight.

Du Qi was already very familiar with Chang'an, after looking around, he was not interested.Because the inside of Chang'an City is basically the same, there is no difference, so Du Qi and his party went straight out of Chang'an City and wandered around in Chang'an.

The weather in April is suitable for hiking.

At this time, all parts of Chang'an were no longer as deserted as before.Although it is still sparsely populated, at least many villages have become popular, and many people have begun to come back one after another.

Du Qi has been wandering around, and also went to the village to have a look, everything is thriving.People everywhere now feel that they have hope and will no longer be afraid of wars.After all, the common people in Xia Kingdom

Everyone knows about the treatment, so the people don't have much resistance to submitting to the Xia Kingdom, and they are all willing to submit to the Xia Kingdom.

This stop-and-go road is heading north of Chang'an.When the evening approached, a group of people found a ruined temple to stay overnight. The temple was not big, but it was not in a mess. It seemed that someone came to clean it from time to time, and the inside was quite tidy.

Du Qi never cared about these things.

He minds his own business.

Du Qi, Shangguanyi, and Guan Zhilan sat down to rest, Mo Ledu was in charge of guarding outside, and Liu Jian went to prepare dinner for the evening, and the bonfire was burning to dispel the darkness.

The three of Du Qi sat down around the bonfire, talking and laughing, talking about what they saw and heard today.

Shangguanyi was slightly excited, and said, "Your Majesty, we have

Starting from Chang'an, I walked all the way north and came to this ruined temple. Because I was driving around and looking around during the day, I estimated that I had to walk more than ten miles at most. "

"Although the road is not far away, after walking in this short period of time, we can also find that the territory of Chang'an has really begun to recover. In the original Chang'an territory, many places were empty and the people were displaced, but now the people are gradually returning. And the spring plowing has been completed."

Shangguanyi said: "Especially the work-for-relief method introduced by the governor of Lanzhou, so that although the people can't be rich, they can at least earn money to support their families and survive until the autumn harvest. As long as this summer passes, when the autumn harvest comes, the entire Guanzhong Even in the territory of Longyou Dao, everything will come alive."

Du Qidao: "That's true. It's precisely this way that we temporarily stay in Chang'an. After the autumn harvest, the grain from all over the country will be harvested, and everything will be safe. We can go south to attack Li Shimin."

The two chatted, and Guan Zhilan echoed from time to time.

Unknowingly time passed quietly.

It was already dark.

At this moment, Mo Ledo suddenly entered, came to Du Qi and said: "Your Majesty, the sentry sent back the news that there is a carriage outside approaching the ruined temple, which is less than a hundred steps away from the ruined temple. Shall we expel them?" Woolen cloth?"

Du Qi shook his head and said: "Let them come in, we are visiting privately, how can we keep people out. What's more, in the wild mountains and mountains, there are no villages and shops behind, there are no villages nearby, and there is no place to stay. Let people stay."

Mo Ledo responded, and went directly to deliver the order.

Not long after, Du Qi heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the gate of the temple.Du Qi looked up and saw a family

The three entered in a hurry.There are three members of this family, a middle-aged couple in their thirties, and a little boy who is about five or six years old in the middle-aged man's arms.

The middle-aged man was thin and dusty, with a tired expression on his face.As for the woman who followed him, although she was dressed in ordinary clothes and the material of the clothes was ordinary, she gave the impression that she was not an ordinary person, because her temperament was there.

This is no ordinary person.

After the three of them entered, they glanced at where Du Qi was, but they sat down in a corner without saying a word.

Chapter 1248 Di Renjie

Di Renjie

Du Qi took a look and didn't care about these things. The three people who had just entered the ruined temple walked in a hurry, and it seemed that something was wrong.Although Du Qi said that he was not afraid of things, he was too lazy to talk to him.At this time, Liu Jian prepared dinner for the evening.Even if he went out, Liu Jian had a complete set of kitchen utensils, and the dishes he prepared for the evening were not complicated, a roasted pork with soybeans, a plate of small green vegetables, and stewed rice.

The food was simple, but it was prepared by Liu Jian. The roasted pork with soybeans alone tasted so fragrant that it lingered in the ruined temple.The small green vegetables are green in color, which makes people appetite at a glance.

Du Qi didn't say much, and greeted people directly for dinner.Liu Jian and Mo Le mostly wanted to go out for dinner, but Du Qi called them back and asked them to have dinner together.As the few people ate, the aroma was even more pervasive, making people's tongues move.

"Daddy, I'm hungry."
