The little ancestor of the family

"Brother,"

During dinner, Changan suddenly had an idea and said to Changsheng, "Do you still remember that we had an ambition when we were in Yunbian Village?"

"What ambition?" Changsheng couldn't remember.

"Building roads."

Changan said, "At that time, we missed our aunt. Didn't we discuss that when we have money in the future, we will repair the road from Yunbian Village to the capital and turn the rugged mountain road into a flat road. This way, the carriage will run many times faster."

"That's a good idea, but building roads is a waste of money and time, so we should be more cautious."

Changan: "I have been thinking about this for several days. Although building roads is laborious, it does not necessarily cost money.

Just think about it, if the road from Yuntong County to the capital is repaired, all the counties along the way will benefit from it.

The facial soap produced in Yunbian Village, the silk produced in Huangli Village, and the snow pear produced in Dawa Village can all be transported to the capital more smoothly, which not only saves time but also reduces the expenses along the way, and the people can earn more money. "

Chang Ping said: "If we build the road, won't the people have to do corvée? Many people are suffering from this, and corvée will also affect their work in the fields, right?

If the harvest is delayed because of road construction, it will not be worth it.”

Changan said confidently: "I have already thought about the problems raised by my brothers. The people feel that corvée labor is hard and are unwilling to do it. On the one hand, it is because corvée labor does not bring any income and also delays farm work. On the other hand, it is because the previous officials were used to abusing their power and were too harsh on the people.

It’s actually very simple to avoid this problem.

Dongzhou was hit by a flood some time ago, and a group of people were displaced. Instead of opening the granaries to release grain, why not bring these people to the road construction site so that they can have food after work every day? Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

"Your Majesty is wise. He even thought of this."

Changsheng highly praised Changan's idea.

"But is the food stored in our treasury enough?"

"It seems to be enough now." Chang'an said, "As long as there is no war within three years, the grain in the national treasury will be enough to support the completion of the road."

"The northern barbarians have been pacified, and the south has been very stable over the years. It seems that we should be able to hold out for the next two or three years."

"Yes!" Chang'an sighed, "It has not been easy for the people these years. It is time for them to rest and recuperate for a while."

"Has the emperor told Prince Rui and the others about this idea?"

Chang Ping asked, "I wonder if King Rui will agree."

Changan chuckled, "Don't ask King Rui yet. I'll let the ministers discuss this matter during the morning court session. As long as someone agrees, King Rui will generally support it."

"You really are..." Changping smiled, "I heard King Rui complaining to you the other day. Your behavior now makes King Rui very embarrassed!"

"It was difficult at the beginning, but King Rui was satisfied with the results, so he is not angry with me anymore."

Changan was still somewhat proud.

"I just don't know if Aunt is satisfied with what I did before. I built a girls' school according to her ideas. Why didn't Aunt come to the palace to praise me?"

Changsheng and Changping also sighed when they heard this. "We haven't seen our aunt for a long time since we moved into the palace. How about the emperor not letting us live in the palace anymore? Can we go back to the Qinwang Mansion tomorrow?"

Chang'an pouted immediately after hearing this. "No, that won't work. Right now, you must share the joys and sorrows with me. You are not allowed to see my aunt whom I cannot see. Otherwise, I will become more and more uncomfortable sitting on the throne of the emperor."

Changsheng and Changping looked at each other after hearing this, and immediately coaxed their brother: "Okay, you are the emperor now, we will listen to you."

Poor Prince Rui was still dealing with previous matters and had no idea that the little emperor had given him a new idea.

……

Xiao Huaian had a lot of things on hand, but since he had to go to the northern border to receive foreign envoys, he pushed aside all the work that could be done, and he had been idle these days.

Prince Rui looked at him like this and teased him unhappily, "The emperor has named you a virtuous king, and you really dare to be idle?"

"What are you talking about, King Rui?"

Xiao Huaian was somewhat proud, "This idleness is not that of a wise man, and besides, I am not going to the Northern Frontier to hang out, I still have to do something."

"Then don't forget to bring Chen Yan with you." Prince Rui said directly.

Xiao Huaian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "King Rui really never lets me go. Okay, okay, then this time, just think of me helping King Rui take care of the child. But let's make a deal, I help you take care of the child, and you can't say bad things about me behind my back!"

"Humph!"

Prince Rui glared at him unhappily.

Speaking of taking care of children, who isn’t taking care of children?

Not only can I not hit or scold the child I'm raising, but he also learns a lot of weird ideas from that couple.

If you can handle it, be thankful.

……

They said they were about to set off, but they had to deal with some miscellaneous matters, which took up a lot of time. By the time they actually set off, it was already seven days later.

Lu Changqing and Chen Yan were both very excited.

Although they have been to many places these days, the Northern Xinjiang is a place with vast desert smoke, full of mystery and loneliness. They have never thought that they would have the opportunity to go there in their entire lives.

The scenery along the way was very beautiful, but Xiao Huaian was not in a very good mood.

At this moment, he was looking at Chen Yan, who was sitting opposite him, drooling while sleeping, with a look of disgust on his face.

He knew that he couldn't bring any burdens when going out, especially two burdens.

Just now, Lu Changqing suddenly had an idea and insisted on switching places with him.

As a result, he could not stay with his sweet and soft wife, and could only squeeze in the same carriage with the prince.

Chen Yan had an indecent sleeping posture. Who knows what he was dreaming about at this moment. He suddenly shouted, "Hey, I'm flying, I'm flying!"

Xiao Huaian muttered quietly, "With your body type, it's a wonder you can fly. No matter how big the wings are, you can break them."

In the carriage, Xiao Huaian was still making sarcastic comments, while on the other side, Ye Xinran and Lu Changqing were chatting happily.

"Sis, I think I know how to make that bicycle you told me about last time."

Lu Changqing said excitedly, "The chain used for teleportation is actually very easy to make. Before I left, Zhou the blacksmith made one for me to take with me."

As he spoke, he threw an iron chain on the table for Ye Xinran to see.

Ye Xinran frowned, "I told you to pack some useful things to take with you on the road, and you packed this?"
