Chapter 185 [From then on, there will be no Changan Xiaobawang]
This was the first time Cheng Chumo rode a big turtle. The guy was so happy that he shouted all the way. The big turtle swam like a galloping horse. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was traveling thousands of miles a day. He continued to traverse along the Yellow River. During this period, several rivers continued to go west. Wherever the big turtle passed, it attracted countless people on the shore.
The people could not see the big turtle swimming in the water, but thought that Li Yun and Cheng Chumo were riding on the wind. They had shallow knowledge and were shocked. Cheng Chumo was extremely proud. The duck's voice was laughing wildly along the way, almost never heard of it.
I walked for two days and nights, and when it was dark, I had already arrived at the Wei River. The big turtle seemed to have returned to my hometown and swam more vigorously. So I startled countless families by the Wei River, all of whom thought that an immortal was coming.
Go west again along the Wei River, rushing through the Qinling Mountains at lightning, and further ahead is Chang'an. In the dark night, you can see the dark city walls.
It was the third update in the middle of the night. A bright moon shone in the sky, and Li Yun grabbed Cheng Chumo and jumped directly from the back of the big turtle to the bank of the Wei River.
The big turtle raised its head and floated in the middle of the river. Li Yun turned his head and looked at it, waved his hand from afar and said, "Go to catch fish and eat it yourself. I guess I will stay in Chang'an for a while. When I come to the river to find you, you will come out and carry me back."
As soon as the water in the river rolled, the big turtle slowly sank.
At this time, Cheng Chumo came over with a strange look on his face. The guy pointed to the bank of the Weishui River and whispered: "Master, look, why is the refugee camp gone?"
Li Yun smiled and said, "The refugee camp is all refugees living in. Now there are no refugees in Chang'an. What's the point of the camp here? If I'm not wrong, it should be demolished."
Cheng Chumo was a little anxious and couldn't help but say, "What should I do with the salted fish industry?"
After saying that, he was stunned and murmured: "Yes, although refugees are no longer refugees, the salted fish industry can still be used. As long as there is cheap salt, they can still make money..."
Li Yun nodded and smiled and said, "I had written to Your Majesty before, specifically mentioning our small salt mountain. With Your Majesty's big belly, that salt mountain will definitely not be taken back. The refugees who relied on that salt mountain could at least ensure that they had no worries about food and clothing for at least ten years."
Cheng Chumo was relieved and obviously missed the salt mountain, saying, "Master, why not take a look there and take a look at the hard-working miners before dawn. I miss the place, and I also opened a mine there."
Li Yun pondered for a moment, then nodded happily and said with a smile: "It's only the third update now, and there is still a lot of time. We can go and see it, but don't disturb those sleeping soundly. They have a very hard day to start a mine. Even if they sleep soundly, they may not stop."
Cheng Chumo said 'um', then looked at Li Yun with a gaze, Qiqi Aiai said, "Master, there are no horses, the road is a bit far..."
Li Yunfei got up and kicked, laughed and scolded: "Don't tell me that you haven't learned light skills."
Cheng Chumo laughed strangely, suddenly pulled his feet and ran along the riverside, shouting: "Come on, let's compete again. There are countless amazing skills in the master's sect, and what I am best at is the scree."
Li Yun touched his nose and cursed at Cheng Chumo's back: "Old man Zhai has been forcing me to practice chicken crowing and dog thieves, but you shout every day that you want to compete with me."
Cheng Chumo's proud laughter came from afar.
Li Yun suddenly bounced his feet and chased after him with laughter.
Although he majored in bone shrinking skills, he also learned some light skills. He had natural magical powers, and no matter how hard he learned, he would achieve twice the result with half the effort, so Cheng Chumo could not leave him behind. The two of them quickly ran together.
In less than an hour, I had arrived at Xiaoyan Mountain. I realized that there was a small village at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, with more than a hundred small houses standing in the shadows.
The master and apprentice quietly touched the village, and then randomly selected several households to check. It was very good. Life was very good. The grain basket was full and bacon was hung on the wall. When I went to the woodshed, I found that there were honeycomb coal. I opened the clay pot next to the stove, which was filled with thick lard...
The more Li Yun looked at him, the more he became more happy. Cheng Chumo felt satisfied. The master and apprentice couldn't help laughing out loud because they were too happy.
This laughter woke a woman who was sleeping in the room. The woman thought there was a thief at home and began to call for her son. Unfortunately, her son was very tired from mining for a day and couldn't wake up no matter how hard she slept.
The woman was frightened, but she mustered up the courage to get up from the bed. In the dark night, she picked up a door-bar, held it in her hand and shouted to the outside, "You are so brave. Even Xiaoyan Village dares to steal it. Do you know whose place this is? My prince is very kind to us. Don't bully me as a widow. My son was very fond of the prince at the time. He worked very hard. My prince praised him every day..."
The peasant women don’t have much knowledge and even threaten them seem weak, but they are incoherent and proud.
The woman hid behind the door and shouted for a long time, and found that there was no movement in the woodshed next door. She walked out carefully with a stick and saw something shining in her small courtyard.
The woman was curious and plucked up her courage to walk forward. She bent down to pick up the thing, and found that it was a piece of oily and shiny jade pendant.
The jade pendant is still warm. It should be because it was just put on the ground. The woman didn't know how to read it. However, for some reason, a young man's smile flashed through her mind.
The smiling face was so familiar, and every time I recalled it, it felt relieved. At this time, the moonlight shone in the sky, and the sky was filled with cold light. The woman suddenly fell to the ground slowly, and her eyes had become thriving.
The prince must be the prince.
Is it you, the prince?
You must still be thinking about our days!
The woman held the jade pendant in her hands and knelt on the ground and kept crying. Although she was so full of tears, her face was full of pride.
She suddenly shouted and shouted to the empty dark night: "Prince, please rest assured, our life is very good. My son is very capable of working and has saved a lot of money. When he works for another two years, I will be able to ask him for a wife. When I flee with my children, I can't imagine that we will live such a promising life. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo, thank you..."
The gratitude of the people is always so simple. They don’t know how to say those elegant and moving words, and even when thanking others, they seem to be inconspicuous.
However, Li Yun was very satisfied when he heard this.
At this time, two young men were leaving quietly outside the village. When they walked a long distance, Cheng Chumo said softly: "Master, I finally understand why you were digging the Yellow River. A small salt mountain can make thousands of refugees rich. If you dig up the Yellow River and build 500 giant trunks, wouldn't it mean that hundreds of thousands of people rich? This thing has to be done..."
Li Yun looked at him quietly and suddenly said, "Don't you feel disappointed?"
Cheng Chumo was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "What does it mean?"
Li Yun slowly let out a breath and said leisurely: "Before I started the salted fish industry, I was a penniless refugee. I used a bowl of porridge to attract your sympathy and forced you, a prince's son, to drink that bran porridge. You have been frugal since you were a child, and your throat hurts, but you still insist on drinking it, and since then, you have worked hard to make a living for the salted fish industry..."
He stopped here, stared at Cheng Chumo and said, "You have paid so much, but the people thanked me. I want to ask you something, don't you feel disappointed?"
"So you said this!"
Cheng Chumo grinned and said indifferently: "I still think it's a big deal!"
He suddenly looked at Li Yun and smiled and said, "I remember you told me that the greater the ability of a person, the greater the responsibility he has to bear. Do good things, don't ask about his reputation. I had a sore throat when I drank that bowl of bran porridge, but I was very happy to drink that bowl of porridge, because from that day on, I, Cheng Chumo, was no longer the little bully of Chang'an who was a horse at Zhangtai. Even if everyone said I was a playboy, I knew I was no longer a child..."
This was too profound, as if a halo appeared on the back of his head. Li Yun was incredible when he heard it, and he almost couldn't believe that this could be said from Cheng Chumo.
However, this is the most sincere expression of a person's heart. Otherwise, it would not be so sincere, and it would not be possible to hide the falsehood from Li Yun's eyes.
But Cheng Chumo didn't think anything about it himself, just thought it was a common language. After this guy finished speaking, he found Li Yun was surprised and couldn't help asking: "Master, what's wrong with you? You look so stupid now that you look very stubborn. You once told me something about the one who is close to the one who is close to the one who is close to the one who is close to the one who is close to the one who is close to the one who is close to the one who is close to the one who is close to the one who is close to the one who is close to the one who is close to the one who is close to the one who is close to the one who is close to the one who is black. Has it been taught me for too long that you didn't teach me successfully, but instead became a fool."
"You are Erlangzi, your whole family is Erlangzi!"
Li Yun suddenly retorted, laughed happily again, and suddenly reached out and patted Cheng Chushi's shoulder heavily, and said loudly: "There is a saying you said wrong. I didn't teach you successfully. I taught you so successfully. Hahaha, this matter is very satisfying, it should be clear."
Cheng Chumo's face was confused!
Li Yun pressed his palm on his shoulder and pushed it suddenly, shouting: "Let's go to Chang'an. Since you are not the little bully in Chang'an, then I'll change the place to be the bully in your hand."
"What does it mean?"
Cheng Chumo was pushed and staggered by him.
Li Yun raised his foot with a long smile, took advantage of the moonlight and ran forward, saying slowly: "The little bully in Chang'an is no longer there, so be a little bully in the court. As the fifth update is approaching, let me take you to the morning court..."
"Take me to the morning court?"
Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment. This guy clearly didn't understand Li Yun's hint that he wanted to pick up his suggestion.
He chased Li Yun and shouted in surprise: "Master, I am not qualified. There is a rule in the morning court. You are not allowed to enter the palace under the fifth rank..."
