Along the way, short-distance passengers got on and off from time to time, making the coachman Lao Li smile from ear to ear. There were more people, and he made more money. [ ] Because the bus driver was wearing clothes uniformly issued by Daping Kingdom.
, so pedestrians along the way can recognize at a glance which buses are buses and which ones are private cars.
From the conversation with the four Haji brothers, Hua Shenguang fully understood that the policy of setting up public buses had a huge economic boost. Since the introduction of buses, the four brothers have often traveled between Nanyang City and Fengbian City, selling medicinal materials and
Authentic medicinal materials from Nanyang City are transported to other places for sale, and then the medicinal materials from other places are transported to Nanyang City.
Since they only sell expensive medicinal materials, they only have two big boxes as gifts. Along the way, they kept praising how convenient this policy was for them. Now, many of their friends have gone out to do business, and some have made a lot of money.
As soon as the decree to establish public buses came out, various places made the originally uneven official roads smooth and smooth, and built small inns one after another between two adjacent and far away places for people coming and going to rest and stay at night.
These small measures have brought more and more pedestrians along the official road.
On the road of Hua Shenguang's group, he saw many carriage drivers coming and going from time to time, and there were also many large convoys running rapidly. As for pedestrians in twos and threes or passers-by riding alone, there were even more. Their purposes may be different, but they all had different purposes.
I feel the benefits of official roads, inns and buses.
When the buses were first set up, there were bandits blocking the road in some places. As a result, they were surrounded and suppressed by local troops. They chased them for hundreds of miles. The bandits and their whole families were all caught. They were also tried in public and sentenced to serious crimes, which greatly deterred the evildoers.
disciples.
Even more serious, a large gang in Nanshui Province was surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, and dozens of masters escaped. What these gangsters did not expect was that due to the "promoting martial arts" policy, several large local martial arts gangs
All the sects have surrendered to the imperial court, and each sect has sent out its elite to hunt down these gangsters to death. This news caused a sensation two months ago.
Now, I dare not say that official roads are 100% safe, but at least 99% of official roads are safe. The trivial dangers all come from desperate people who don't care about their lives.
After changing to many buses, we passed Nanyang City and entered the rolling mountains. When we walked here again, there were huge changes. Not only could we see the newly built inn dozens of miles away, but the road was also smoother.
, it has obviously been repaired. Pedestrians and vehicles can be seen coming and going every ten minutes on the mountain road. It is much livelier and more popular than before.
There are no more bandits in the mountains, and pedestrians coming and going are much safer.
"Sir, after climbing over this mountain, we will reach the place where we met Miss Ruoli when we first came here." Xiao Ye pointed to a big mountain in front of her and said.
"Yes, the green mountains are still here, but the beauty has gone far away!" Hua Shenguang sighed, with deep longing in his eyes, and said to Leng Ying: "Leng Ying, that's where we met your master Ruoli,
He was seriously injured at the time, but I used my special Qi to save her, so that when you meet her again in the future, she will accept you as her disciple, thus continuing the relationship between your master and disciple."
Leng Ying was particularly surprised when he heard this for the first time.
Hua Shenguang smiled: "Otherwise, how could you think she, a peerless master in the realm of magic, would be with me?"
Leng Ying nodded and understood a lot instantly.
After turning a mountain, Hua Shenguang saw a small waterfall in the dense forest, and asked the driver to stop the car: "Master Zhou, up ahead is the place where I met an old friend. How about spending the night here tonight?"
"
"Sir, there will be a post station in thirty miles, why bother sleeping here? It's in the wilderness here. If I encounter a beast, it's not worth my life." The coachman said reluctantly.
"Haha, Master Zhou, I know you want to go to the inn. Good morning and invite a few more people. What do you think this is?" Xiaoye took out a large ingot of silver and handed it to him.
"Well, the three of you are skilled in martial arts and will protect me if there are ferocious beasts. And you can afford the money. I won't be pulling my car even if there are others, but I will only pull you. Where do you want to rest?
, Just rest there!" The coachman's eyes widened when he looked at the money. This was income earned outside the regular journey. It was his own and he did not have to pay taxes to the court.
The imperial court stipulates that each route has a fixed toll, which is determined based on the distance and difficulty of the road. For example, the mountain road they are taking now, which goes around the mountains, is more expensive than a flat road.
Deep in the dense forest, a waterfall flows down. In the middle of the waterfall, the huge black fruit tree still stretches its branches and leaves, but the black fruit on it has fallen off, and it will take a few months for it to bloom and bear fruit again. The waterfall
In the small pool below, tuna were swimming.
"Sir, it's extremely cold this winter, so we have to squeeze in the car at night." The coachman said after finding a place to park the carriage.
"No, we have prepared a big tent, so it won't keep you cold at night." Hua Shenguang smiled, took out the tent pots, bowls and other utensils from the Shenguang Jade space, and quickly set them up, leaving the coachman stunned.
"We are all martial arts people. Don't worry, there will be no danger." Xiaoye said to the driver: "Why don't you come and help quickly? Don't be stunned."
"Oh, okay, okay!" Master Zhou recovered from the shock and helped build a stone stove.
"Xiaoye, we are eating tuna tonight. After eating this tuna, it has the effect of never falling down. It is a great supplement!" Hua Shenguang quickly caught a few fish and brought them up.
Xiaoye's face turned red: "Brother Guang, you are so bad. If you keep talking, I will ignore you!"
Master Zhou and Leng Ying both laughed.
"Leng Ying, look at you, smiling is uglier than crying, don't laugh!" Xiao Ye stamped her feet and her face turned even redder.
Soon, a large pot of tuna was cooked, and the aroma was so fragrant that even Master Zhou admired that Hua Shenguang's craftsmanship was better than his own.
After dinner, Hua Shenguang sat alone by the small pool, looking at the Origin Blood Bead in his hand, recalling all the things he had met and known each other with Ruoli, and unconsciously smiled happily.
Xiao Ye, Leng Ying, and Master Zhou were sitting next to the fire, chatting, but their eyes looked at Hua Shenguang from time to time. She knew that Hua Shenguang was missing Ruoli again.
"Your young master really values friendship and braves the cold just to miss his old friend here. I admire you, Old Zhou!"
"Young master is indeed affectionate and righteous, but the old friend left for something, which made him miss you every day." Xiao Ye said with a complicated mood.
Master Zhou seemed to have seen something: "This young master is very impressive and must have many confidantes. But Miss Xiaoye, I think you are smart and smart, and you have won the favor of this young master along the way. If the two of you become a favorite, it won't be a big deal."
It's in vain that I, Old Zhou, took you for a ride."
"Master, why are you talking nonsense!" Xiaoye said with an embarrassed smile.
"Hey, look at this little girl, she's so irritable..."
"I am the young master's maid. I just want to see the young master happy. Seeing the young master doing well makes me happy. The fire is almost out. Go and help collect some firewood."
"Haha, I'll go, okay, I'll go, please be gentle, my old bones can't stand the push of you martial arts masters."
