Chapter 2507 Let you have a good look at the market model of Luonan
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel happy and waved his hand. "You're already here, so it's just right. Let's go and understand the sentiments of the people."
Yu Zhining smacked his mouth and returned the salute to these three people. He always felt something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"I wonder where Taibao Xiao Cheng would like to invite His Highness to go and observe the people's sentiments?"
"Haha, the public sentiment, of course, only in places where there are many people in the Tang Dynasty can we investigate the situation.
Therefore, our first stop is to go to the liveliest and most prosperous place in Luoyang to get a good feel for the people."
Two quarters of an hour later, this inconspicuous team appeared in front of the Peony Pavilion Restaurant of the Han and Tang Dynasties Trading Company.
Looking at the busy Peony Pavilion Restaurant, I saw many diners patting their bellies and leaving with a drink.
Cheng Chubi turned around and said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had been looking out curiously as he opened the curtain of the car.
"Your Highness, it's almost noon now. Since we are all here, let's go up and fill our stomachs first, and then we can continue to observe the public sentiment."
"This is the famous Luoyang Peony Pavilion Restaurant. It is indeed well-deserved. Yu Qing, what are you doing standing there in a daze? Come and go."
Even an emperor can't afford hungry soldiers, so why can't I just send hungry ministers?"
After being pushed twice by His Royal Highness, Yu Zhining wiped his face vigorously and followed the team helplessly.
"Come, come, your highness, have a try. The taste here in Luoyang is slightly different from that in Chang'an."
"So the Luoyang Peony Pavilion Restaurant not only has the very popular Chengfu family banquet series of dishes, but also some local specialties."
Yu Zhining quickly put down his burdens and began to eat and drink. After all, he had already reached this point, could he still persuade the Crown Prince to go back?
However, as the chief steward of the East Palace, Yu Zhining did not forget about business after all.
After eating delicious food and drinking some wine, he approached Cheng Sanlang and asked softly.
"Little Cheng Taibao, where do you want to take the Crown Prince to today? But don't go too far. It's not like you don't know what the situation is like in the East Palace."
Seeing that Yu Zhining did not forget about serious things while eating, Cheng Chubi was very impressed by Zhan's enthusiasm.
"Don't worry, Cheng doesn't know that the East Palace is just a fence. Hey... don't glare at Zhan. Even if you glare at Cheng, how can you still stare at all the wise people in the world?"
"..." Yu Zhining wished he could take off his smelly socks and throw them on Cheng Sanlang's cheesy smiling face, he is such a wise man in the world.
"Don't worry, I really want to take the Crown Prince to understand the people's sentiments, and you must know that.
To the south of Luoshui, Luoyang City was originally in a state of dilapidation, and many of the towns in the city looked like wilderness."
"I have an unlucky subordinate who was assassinated in the south of the city, and guess what happened.
His severed arm was taken away by a canine animal that may not be a wolf or a dog, and cannot be found again."
"But now, the land of Luonan is changing with each passing day. The abandoned cities and towns have been renovated."
"The changes can be described as earth-shaking. Let's eat and drink for now. Then we will go over there and let you have a good look at the market model in Luonan."
After all, he had been to Luoyang before. As a Tang Dynasty official who was very diligent and caring for the people, he had also visited the land of Luonan.
He has a deep understanding of the mess there, and Cheng Sanlang has not been the Luoyang Order for a long time. To be honest, Yu Zhining doesn't want to transform the entire land of Luonan in such a short time.
believe.
However, this kid Cheng Sanlang can always do things beyond everyone's expectations, so Yu Zhining can only maintain a dubious attitude.
After eating and drinking here, we walked along the banks of the Luoshui River. The appearance of both sides of the Luoshui River had changed greatly.
In the past, there were many shoals and even swamps on both sides of the Luoshui River. But now, at least on the north bank, many places have been repaired.
There are even some cement trails near the water for people to walk around, but it is winter and there are not many pedestrians.
In this way, people can see the newly added facilities more intuitively.
After leaving the city, the elevated cable bridge hanging high over the Luoshui River really opened the eyes of Yu Zhining and other people from Chang'an.
The wide and stable bridge deck will not cause any problems whether you are walking or riding. Moreover, you can see tall ships passing smoothly under the bridge.
This made Yu Zhining realize why the height of the bridge in the city that was still under construction was too exaggerated.
Only now do we know that such a bridge will not affect the smooth flow of water transportation at all.
What's more, Luonan and Luobei of Luoyang City happen to cross the very busy Luoshui waterway. If the height of those bridges is not enough.
It will definitely cause great inconvenience to the ship traffic in Luoyang. In this way, these bridges will not only fail to smooth the north-south traffic of Luoyang, but will block the north-south traffic of the rapidly developing Luoyang.
#####
Li Chengqian clicked his tongue as he looked at everything in Luoyang, seeming curious about everything here.
Although cement roads have been laid in Chang'an and some surrounding areas, there is almost no dirt road in Luoyang, both inside and outside the city.
Even after they left Tongguan and walked a certain distance, all that was left was this flat and open cement road.
"Brother Chu Bi's talents are truly rare in the world. He has served as the Luoyang Order for only a short time, and Luoyang has already become completely new. Does Yu Qing think so?"
Yu Zhining had to nod and admit it at this moment.
"What His Highness said is absolutely true. He is indeed the little Cheng Taibao who is favored by His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"That's natural. Brother Chu Bi is a capable official in governing the place. If he leads the army to defeat the enemy, he is also a good general. He is really a model figure among the younger generation of the Tang Dynasty, who is both a general and a prime minister."
Li Chengqian nodded matter-of-factly and continued to admire both sides of the road.
At this moment, they had entered Luonan again, and Luonan was still a clean and tidy cement road.
Moreover, the markets on both sides of the road look so brand-new, and every time you walk along the road, you can see notice boards erected on both sides of the road.
This kind of notice board, which is similar in length and width to a bus stop in later generations, is covered with notices and some slogans advising people to pay attention to hygiene and pay attention to order.
Moreover, near every square gate, there will be a very clean and large-scale house.
There are five big characters clearly written on it: Public restroom.
Each public restroom is guarded and cleaned by someone special. Li Chengqian even saw a few signs posted at the door of the guard's room.
One piece of paper said: Toilet paper, one copper or two.
Another one reads: It is strictly forbidden to carry bricks and stones into the toilet, and it is strictly forbidden to throw rags, hemp ropes and other debris into the toilet. Violators will be fined.
