Su Yueling was sitting on the carriage. Speaking of which, the rubber trees she redeemed from the system a few years ago had already been planted. It was just that it would take a year or two for rubber to be truly used in people's livelihood, which meant that Su Yueling wanted to use tires.
Still have to wait.
But at least the road is much smoother now, and the carriage ride is not as bumpy as before.
It takes almost an hour to get from the pier to Rizhuang. This is because the roads have been repaired. In the past, it would have taken even longer.
When the southern tour convoy arrived at Rizhuang, everyone was silent.
Is this Rizhuang?
Nothing you see and hear along the way can deceive anyone. Even if Magistrate Wen has money and can make some people pretend that they have no worries about food and clothing, it is impossible to arrange everything along the way - there are so many people who don't know how to arrange it.
How much money would it cost? And as they looked all the way, they also found that the life in Dingnan Prefecture was indeed much better than they imagined. At first, they thought it was because they were in the prefecture capital, but when the motorcade stopped at the entrance of the village of Rizhuang
At the next moment, everyone was involuntarily shocked by the scene they saw in front of them.
In terms of prosperity, Rizhuang cannot compare to the foothills of an imperial city like Beijing. But before arriving, everyone had already imagined the scene in a remote country, so there was a huge gap.
Different from the imaginary huts, these houses are all very neatly built. It seems that the houses were built in the past few years, and each house is not small, and the smallest house has an entrance.
The people in Rizhuang all wore cotton or above, and even some villagers wore silk and satin. They even saw the woman holding the soles of her shoes under the big banyan tree wearing a gold hairpin on her head. It was lunch time now.
The aroma came out, and they also smelled the smell of meat mixed with it.
In the distance, the sound of children reading aloud makes people feel energetic.
This is completely different from what they imagined, and I don’t know how much better it is.
The emperor got down from the carriage and looked at this place with surprise, which was very different from what he remembered, "Is this really Rizhuang? You're on the right track?"
When his eyes fell on the crooked banyan tree, he affirmed: "It is indeed Rizhuang, and there is no other banyan tree with such a crooked shape." At that time, the emperor climbed over this banyan tree during a private visit incognito.
, I almost fell down, so I can say that the memory of this banyan tree is still fresh.
Because the emperor's choice of Rizhuang was a sudden one, the people in Rizhuang had not received the news yet. When they saw this vast and unprecedented luxury motorcade, they were all dumbfounded, as if they were dreaming.
Some even patted their thighs hard - it was really not a dream.
Some people even shouted directly for the village chief to come over.
When Su Yueling got off the car, the people in Rizhuang recognized her immediately - after all, Su Yueling had been to Rizhuang several times, and her beauty was unforgettable, and all the villagers who had seen her were impressed by her.
She still has fresh memories. Although they haven't seen each other for several years, time seems to have stopped on Su Yueling. She is still as beautiful and vibrant as a peony in full bloom.
"It's Princess Wei!"
"The princess is back!"
The local villagers were so excited that they rushed to tell each other. This was passed on to the next, and the next to the next. So the whole village echoed with the voice of "The princess is here." As for the other people, they were ignored by the villagers.
, thinking that this is how a princess should be. Suddenly, the emperor and others became Su Yueling's background wall.
In the eyes of the villagers in Rizhuang, Su Yueling was the person who really changed their destiny. Because of the road construction, they had money. After the road was built, it became more convenient for their village to enter the city, and it was easier to take things to sell in the city.
Later, Su Yueling bought a large number of fields here and hired local villagers to do work. With the stable money income, they became more convinced and admired Su Yueling, and wished to give Su Yueling a longevity card to bless her long life. So Wu later
When the people invited by Shu and Yuan Baoshu expressed their willingness to teach them how to raise pigs and grow grapes, while people in other counties in Dingnan Prefecture were still hesitant, Rizhuang and Guangning County followed without hesitation.
.As the earliest group of people, they naturally received the most dividends, and both places became the richest areas in this state capital alone.
So in the past two years, it can be said that Rizhuang has undergone earth-shaking changes. Every household has built a new house and wears new clothes. The families with the best families are even willing to wear gold and silver, which was not possible in the past.
It's something I dare not think of.
The emperor was shocked by this formation. He could see that these people's love and respect for Su Yueling came from the bottom of their hearts.
Rong Ji sighed: "It seems that Yue Ling's prestige here is not as high as usual."
He even suspected that if someone spoke ill of Su Yueling here, they would be beaten up by the local people.
Su Yueling raised her chin and said confidently: "Because I have a good character, everyone likes me."
Speaking of which, most of the points she was able to obtain were from the favorability provided by the people in Dingnan Prefecture. Su Yueling was naturally willing to share the benefits with them.
Rong Ji smiled, "The common people are the simplest people. They will see whoever treats them well." It was right to assign Dingnan Prefecture to Su Yueling as a fief. When he did this, he also
Some ministers complained about this, and I don't know what they would think when they saw this scene.
Although it can be inferred from the annual increase in taxes in Dingnan Prefecture that the place has indeed become increasingly prosperous in recent years, the numbers on paper are not as shocking as seeing them in person.
When the village chiefs of Rizhuang ran up to Su Yueling panting on crutches, before he could salute, Su Yueling said: "This is our emperor of Great Xia!"
"Your Majesty misses the wine and fish cooking here, so he came here specially today."
The emperor is here?
The news struck the villagers like lightning, freezing them in place.
After a while, the voices of "Long Live the Emperor, Long Live the Emperor" could not be stopped. Because the incident happened so suddenly, the villagers could be said to be unprepared at all. Even the shouting sounds were uneven at the beginning. They were not prepared at the beginning.
He knew how to kneel down, but he didn't follow the example until he saw the village chief doing it.
Naturally, Rong Ji would not blame them, which further showed that the local people were completely unprepared to pick up the driver.
"Everyone, get up." Rong Ji said very kindly. Nothing gratified him as a king more than seeing the people under his rule live a good life.
The ministers saw his expression in their eyes and knew in their hearts that the image of Su Yueling and Magistrate Wen in the emperor's mind would get better and better.
This Magistrate Wen is really unlucky. He was just lucky enough to be assigned here. If it were them, as long as they followed Su Yueling, they wouldn't do any worse than him.
In the face of the hard facts, Uncle Lu suddenly became a clown, and the sweat on his forehead kept dripping down. He secretly regretted it in his heart. He must have been dizzy from the sun in the morning, and he would have lost consciousness, otherwise
How could he be in such limelight?
He wished he could shrink himself into the crowd and minimize his presence.
Su Yueling was really not the kind of person to just give up after a meeting. She looked at Uncle Lu with a smile, "Uncle Lu, what do you think?"
"Do you still think Dingnanzhou is committing fraud?"
