Datang Imperial Physician

Chapter 362

Because His Majesty Li Er and his wife were there, everyone ate a lot more politely and quieter.That guy Wei Jia glanced at him with a sly eyebrow, honestly and unceremoniously kept picking up vegetables in the bowl, and occasionally picked up chopsticks for Xie Jiu and Sizi. In short, he picked whatever was delicious, and Li Zhi was dumbfounded. , looking at Wei Jia with pitiful admiration, looking at the pot and at his own bowl, intending to use his eyes to show Wei Jia that he is also a child and needs to be taken care of.

Wei Jia bared his teeth at him for a while, and started to eat slowly on purpose, which made Li Zhi feel depressed for a while. He looked at his father and queen, and weighed it up. He still didn't have the guts to go to the pot like Wei Jia. As a royal child, It is an obligation to maintain the image and dignity of the royal family.

Li Zhi's appearance made it seem that he was concentrating on eating, but in fact, his Majesty Li Er and his wife, who were watching all directions and listening to everyone, silently paid attention to everyone, shaking their heads together - Li Zhi is really inferior in many ways.

After eating hot pot, I asked someone to clean up and leave. Seeing that it was still dark, I proposed to go for a walk after dinner. The so-called walk after dinner can live to 99.Strenuous exercise is not suitable after meals, but leisure activities such as walking are just right.This walk does not go far, that is, it takes a walk around the post station.Originally, the government confiscated the garden of a wealthy family as a resting place for His Majesty Li Er, but considering that he would only stay for one night before leaving, His Majesty Li Er rejected the request to enter the city, and chose to stay at the post station for just one night.There were many people in the entourage, except for His Majesty Li Er's family, Wei Jia was still honored by his children. The eldest grandson, Queen Sun, cared for their family and specially allocated a room for them to live in.

"Dad, hug!"

While walking, Linlin asked the nanny to hug and pull Wei Jia's robe when she saw the princess of Xincheng.Wei Chi squatted down, and said to Linlin seriously: "Son, after eating, you have to walk by yourself, you can't hug, we agreed."

Linlin pointed at Xincheng with a small hand, and said confidently: "The princess and sister are all hugged, and Linlin wants it too!"

Wei Jia rolled his eyes and said, "Son, Miss Princess is a girl, and you are a boy. Didn't Dad teach you? Boys must be strong, brave, and protect girls. Look, your kiwi Sister Qi and Little Princess will be protected by you in the future, you can’t even walk, how can you protect them? Do you want to be a girl?”

Linlin tilted his head and thought for a while, and decided to let his father lead him along, making Wei Jia laugh happily.There are twins in their family, or a boy and a girl. Both of them point out that children's gender awareness should be established from an early age, but don't be confused when they are six or seven years old. Boys are not like boys, and girls are not like girls. But it's over!
While taking a walk, Wei Jia ran behind and led a group of little ghosts to play a game, which made the little princess in Xincheng unwilling to be hugged anymore, and twisted her body to get down. The nanny looked at the queen in embarrassment, the eldest grandson Smiling and nodding, he put her down, giggled and ran to play with Qilin.

Joyfully walked around and came back, but the shoes were dirty, especially Qilin and Xincheng, even the small clothes were covered with mud, they were greeted to clean up, coaxed to sleep, the ordinary and extraordinary journey One day is the end.

The bed in the post station is always not as comfortable as the one at home. It is said that it has been specially arranged to welcome His Majesty Li Er and his party, and it can be regarded as the most luxurious equipment.I'm really embarrassed to be picky, so I can only fall asleep. However, I didn't sleep well all night, and I was basically half asleep and half awake. I couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep for a while.

Waking up early the next morning, the road was about to start before dawn, the servants put away their things neatly, and Wei Xie and his wife got into the carriage with their children in their arms.Pull out the child's quilt and cover it, the two looked at each other, couldn't help but smile, the smile covered each other's dark circles, Wei Jia yawned, stretched, pulled out the blanket, pulled Xie Jiu to lie down, arms He stretched it into his arms and said: "The road is very boring, let's go to sleep, the dark circles under the eyes are scary, and there is no makeup to cover you up now."

Xie Jiu smiled, arched his head into his arms, closed his eyes, and fell asleep hugging Wei Chi's waist.Breathing lightly, it hit his neck, a little itchy, but strangely comfortable and at ease, and fell asleep.I don't know how long he slept, Wei Chi was woken up by the coachman, saying that His Majesty Li Er called him over.

The motorcade was too long, and the walking was already slow. Wei Jia let the mother and son continue to sleep. He jumped out of the carriage by himself, washed with the wash water brought over, and went to His Majesty Li Er in good spirits.After he passed by, His Majesty Li Er asked him to get into the carriage directly, and Wei Jia was able to climb into the golden luxury carriage with eight horses for the first time.

Seeing the spacious carriage, huge wheels, and eight strong and strong horses, Wei Chi clicked his tongue.In other words, this is not the first time he has seen this carriage, but the shock is similar every time he sees it.Compared with others, the carriage of Weifu can only be called crude and narrow, and there is even a small desk inside for His Majesty Li Er to review books.

After all, in ancient times, horse-drawn carriages and horses were the main means of transportation. How could ordinary people compare to the emperor's car.When getting into the carriage, there is even a small staircase to lower it down, instead of jumping up and down like the one in the Weifu.

Wei Jia went up, and after saluting, His Majesty Li Er asked him to sit aside, set up the table, and under Wei Jia's suspicious eyes, he spread the table and said with a smile: "The journey is lonely, there is fun, Wei Ziyue, don't hurry up Contribute!"

Wei Jia looked at the people sitting around the table. His Majesty Li Er took the seat, then Empress Changsun, then Li Zhi, and the little princess Sizi came to him and sat next to him, indicating that she wanted to join his family.It seems that only mahjong can be played anywhere.

Wei Zhi suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked someone to fetch mahjong, and the group started playing mahjong.Wei Chi was not afraid of death, and before the cards were played, he asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, is there any chance? It's more interesting to play mahjong, right? Otherwise, there will be no motivation!"

Li Zhi looked at Wei Jia with a look of admiration, and guessed that Wei Jia was the only one who dared to win the prize playing mahjong with His Majesty Li Er.His Majesty Li Er took a playful look at Wei Chi, laughed, and pointed at Wei Chi and said, "Wei Ziyue is indeed Wei Ziyue, and I will never let me down, okay, you are lucky."

As he spoke, he took out a few silver nudes and threw them on the table casually. Empress Changsun looked at the two of them with a smile, then turned around and ordered someone to bring some up, but Wei Jia hadn't seen any movement yet, under the strange eyes of everyone, The servant fumbled in his pocket, blushing, and Ai Ai said: "Well, your majesty, empress, please wait a moment, I forgot to change my clothes today, I forgot to put my money bag, I will come right away, Princess Jinyang Help me build the cards first."

Saying that, Didiu jumped out of the carriage and ran back to get the money. The rest of Li's royal family looked at each other in dismay, and immediately burst into laughter. This Wei Ziyue really didn't know whether to call him stupid or bold.

Wei Chi ran back to get the money bag. He was serious, ignoring everyone's teasing eyes, and sat down behind Sizi calmly, and the two began to cooperate to play mahjong.Maybe today is the God of Gamblers, and I don't know whether it is Wei Chi or Xi Zi who is lucky. In short, the two of them won wildly all the way, and they both won big cards. There is already a small pile of silver nudes at their feet. Losing a frown, looking at Wei Jia and Si Zi's eyes, that is called a sad.His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun still looked as stable as Mount Tai, and it was impossible to tell whether their cards were good or bad from their faces.

The days of the journey are so lonely and boring. Apart from playing mahjong and fighting the landlord, there is really nothing else to do.Sitting in the carriage like this for a few days, Wei Jia couldn't stand it any longer. He twisted and twisted while playing mahjong. In other words, the so-called sitting was actually sitting on his knees. It was really difficult for him to persist so much sky.

Wei Zhi resisted the tingling pain in his feet, and suggested: "Your Majesty, how about going out to ride a horse? After sitting in the car for so many days, going out to ride a horse for activities is also good for your body."

"Alright, after sitting in this carriage for so many days, my bones are almost rusted, so it's good to go out for a while to ride the horse and enjoy some fresh air."

Wei Chi's proposal obviously won the favor of His Majesty Li Er.Empress Changsun took out a cloak and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's windy outside, so add a cloak."

Empress Changsun was busy taking care of His Majesty Li Er, her son pulled Wei Jia, and said pitifully, "I'm going too, and I'll be with Master Wei too!"

Wei Chi scratched his head and said, "Princess, I'm not good at riding, but my Ferrari is very docile. Let's ride slowly."

Seeing that Wei Chi agreed, Sizi smiled happily, her big eyes were curved, and her cute appearance made the viewers feel excited.Little Loli insists on doing Wu Qin Xi every day, and her father is an outstanding figure with both civil and military skills. Under the influence of her father, her children also develop both civil and martial arts.Sizi used to be limited by his physical fitness and never received systematic learning. In the past two years, his health has gradually improved, and he has also tried to learn some simple martial arts and do some simple riding and archery training. If you want to compare archery, Wei Chi Feeling very ashamed, maybe his accuracy is not as good as that of other little lolitas, he is really shameless.

A group of people came out, but Empress Changsun did not come. His Majesty Li Er, Li Zhi, and Gao Yang each rode a horse. Wei Chi and Si Zi rode together and galloped along the official road for a while.Wei Zhi wrapped her little son in a cloak, only revealing a small head, and a hat was put on the small head to prevent her from being blown by the wind.

After galloping for a while, not being too far away from the team, he slowly slowed down and walked slowly along the side of the road.Not far from the side of the road, you can still vaguely see houses in some small villages. There are few tile-roofed houses, and most of them are thatched houses. The scenery is not as good as Chang'an.

"Master Wei, what kind of house is that?"

Sizi has never seen a thatched house. She grew up in Chang'an, and all she saw were luxurious high walls and big tiles. Even if she saw it when she was a child when she was on tour with her father, she probably couldn't remember it.Wei Chi said: "That is a house for people to live in, but the material used to build the house is different from what we usually live in. It is thatched."

"Why different? Why not use tiles?"

Sizi little Lolita was very curious and asked.Wei Chi smiled slightly, and said, "Because I can't afford tiles, and I don't have enough money to buy tiles, I can only build a house with thatch."

"Why no money? Father said that as long as food is grown, they can have money to eat and wear clothes. Are they lazy? Can't they grow food?"

Wei Jia thought for a while, and said: "No, if you don't work hard, you may not even be able to build a thatched house, let alone a tile-roofed house. It's just that this person's strength is not enough for hard work sometimes. There are many, many factors. Let's put it this way, the grain grown in one season is enough for the family to eat, and the rest is the income of the family. The upper family has a larger population, so I’m afraid that their own rations are not enough. Some families are better at farming and housekeeping, so they will have more savings, and life will gradually improve.”

Sizi listened for a while, shook his head honestly, and said, "I don't understand!"

Wei Jia scratched his head and said with a smile, "Actually, I don't quite understand it myself. If I understand this problem, perhaps, many problems can be solved. Agriculture is the foundation of a country. If there is a foundation, the superstructure can be built."

Wei Chi was almost talking to himself, talking with Si Zi.Under the conditions of ancient technology, the amount of output basically depends on God. In the case of unstable output, farmers are a fragile and strong weird group.

"Master, is this also the territory of the Great Tang? Are they also the people of the Great Tang? Why is it different from Chang'an?"

Seeing that Wei Jia and Si Zi were chatting, Gao Yang also slowed down. When Wei Jia approached, he asked his own question.Wei Jia smiled and said: "This is normal. Chang'an is the heart of the Tang Empire, the center of politics, economy, and culture. Agriculture, commerce, etc. are the most prosperous and developed in the entire Tang Dynasty. And here is a small valley. , I’m afraid that going to a market will take several days of mountain roads, the traffic is inconvenient, and communication will be hindered. Without communication, the economy will not develop, and there is only agriculture, and that’s the only way to go.”

After Wei Jia finished speaking, seeing Gao Yang still had a puzzled expression, Wei Jia thought for a while and said: "Let's put it this way, agriculture is the foundation, and business is the channel of flow. For example, to build a house, you need to lay the foundation. , It is necessary to build walls, erect beams, and lay tiles. It is like a country, where scholars, farmers, businessmen, farmers are the foundation, scholars are the girders, and workers are the walls. Channels for craftsmen to transport the materials they need, if the materials cannot be brought in, then the foundation will only be the foundation, and the house will never be built, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice."

"Are businessmen so important?"

"It's not important, but both are indispensable. Development requires capital. If you can't sell commodities and accumulate primitive capital, how can you develop? If you can't develop, you can only keep falling behind... Uh, Your Majesty, when will you Come here? Uh... I just chatted casually with the children."

Wei Jia said that he did not look ahead, but stared at the distant mountain village in a daze. Once, his hometown was also such a small mountain village. The similar place made him a little absent-minded and a little nostalgic. He even talked to himself. Who was it, didn't pay attention carefully, and answered it out of the mouth.
