The carriage's traveling speed in the plains was obviously much faster.
After leaving the Jingzhou area, the official roads immediately became much neater. Not only were the roads smooth and there were no obvious big potholes, there were even more people walking on the roads, making it a lively scene.
However, except for a few wealthy farmers who can drive oxcarts and use official roads to transport grain, most of them still carry it on their backs and shoulders. At this time, men's physical advantages are shown. Even the old ones can bend their waists like a bow.
They also have to bear more responsibilities than the women in the same industry.
Most women carry half-grown children with them, carrying them on their little bodies with their heads buried in their stomachs. Even smaller ones, as long as they can walk reasonably well, have to help the adults drag them.
Two farm tools, staggering and childish.
Busy enough to have a good harvest, happy enough to make a group of poor people carrying food sweat and laugh non-stop.
They have no idea what is happening in this world, and what these things will bring to them in the future.
I saw a carriage coming from far away on the official road. Even if the carriage didn't look as noble as the one from the powerful family, in the current world, if anyone could still travel with a carriage at this time, at least it wasn't
They were the kind of idiots who could afford to mess with them, so when the carriages were still far away, farmers carrying crops on their backs started to get out of the way, leaving a large gap in the middle of the official road.
The older ones either lowered their heads and stepped aside, or simply stepped aside and stayed on the side of the road. They dragged their younger children and whispered to the curious children not to look up at the carriage.
Noble man, so as not to get into trouble.
A horse-drawn carriage passed by, interrupting the farmers' happy time.
The curtain was raised, Luochuan bent over and came out and sat next to the old coachman. However, the hilt of the sword under the coachman's butt hit his buttocks. He grimaced in pain and said, "Uncle Jiang, you have been sitting here with a broken sword all day long. How can you do that?"
Comfortable?"
The old coachman glanced at him sideways and waved his whip to get the two horses that had gone astray back on track. "Sitting on a sword is much more comfortable than sitting on a young girl's lap. Master, you must know that cultivators
..."
"Definitely," Luo Chuan quickly waved his hand to interrupt the old coachman's words, turned his head to the side, and made a face at a little boy who looked at him with wide eyes, watching the boy hide away in fright.
Behind the woman, he laughed loudly, "Although the kittens, puppies, and foxes in this world are cute when they are young, they are far behind compared to the children of our human race." He clicked his tongue and looked towards
The farmers who were still busy in the fields in the distance said, "Uncle Jiang, isn't this Hanoi County the richest place in the entire Southwest Hanzhou?"
The old coachman didn't care that he interrupted his lecture again. He just smiled helplessly and said, "This is probably the richest county in Hanoi. The Han River and the Ya River flow from the west end of the county and meet at the east end. The land of the two rivers is
The plain landform is naturally thousands of miles of fertile land, which is no worse than the major counties in Jiangzhou in the southeast." He raised his riding whip and pointed south, "A few dozen miles further south is the Han River. After all, it is directly adjacent to the north of the Han River.
In mountainous areas, you will be harassed by monsters coming down from the mountain from time to time. Neither the population nor the fields are the best. Once you cross the Han River and reach the area between the two rivers, you will know what it means to be rich. The richest people in Hanoi County are all there.
There, including the owners of most of the fertile land here.”
Luo Chuan nodded, but felt a little surprised.
He knew what the "monster" the old coachman meant. In fact, there was an essential difference between "monster" and "demon".
Demons are intelligent beings from birds, beasts, fish, insects, plants, elves, and elves who have the opportunity to open up their spiritual intelligence. Generally, they are not a race that is extremely weak in nature. Once they open up their spiritual intelligence, they will enter the first-level psychic stage and become a first-level small demon, or the offspring of a demon and a demon.
, the better the talent, the higher the innate state. Legend has it that there was a story about two children of a great demon who entered the third realm of transformation at birth.
Monsters are completely different, because although they are also bred from birds, beasts, fish, insects, grass, trees and elves, what they get is not a blessing from heaven and earth but seems to be a curse. Not only do they rarely make progress in wisdom, but they also gain much more power than ordinary creatures.
It has become the most uncontrollable and unstable factor in the world. It is a headache for all the major forces in the world and a disaster that cannot be solved for thousands of years.
But the "mountainous area" mentioned by the old coachman is the mountainous area in Jingzhou, the center of Dading. How could the combined power of Dading still allow monsters to plague the mountainous areas here and harm the wealthy counties around it?
Luo Chuan continued to ask while thinking about the matter, "Then Guang County and Anyang County in southwest Hanzhou should also be in a similar situation."
The old coachman nodded, "People say that there are six counties in Hanzhou, three poor and three rich. The three rich are Hanoi County, Guang County and Anyang County." He sighed, "Those two counties and
This Hanoi County is similar. Not only is it located in the two river basins, but it also has a plain landform. Except for Anyang County, which has a small border with Nanyi but has had few wars for many years, the three counties are basically stable in the hinterland of Zhongzhou, with rich land.
The people are happy, but the prosperity will not be the same after hundreds of years."
Luochuan nodded. The old coachman seemed to have lived in the capital for a long time and finally returned to his old hometown, which aroused the conversation. "The rest are our Lijun, Anlingjun and Yongchangjun." He said with some emotion, "When Guangjun goes south, you
You know, surrounded by mountains and difficult to navigate, this one road alone has locked up most of the vitality of our three counties, especially Zali County. Although the area is the largest in the entire Hanzhou, excluding the mountains and valleys,
The three fertile basins combined are only slightly larger than the area of Guang County, which is far behind Hanoi County and Anyang County. Not to mention that we, as two sides, defend the southern barbarians in the south and the western barbarians in the west, generation after generation.
The good boy was buried in the mountains...sigh..."
Luochuan nodded silently again.
He had once assimilated the memory of Luochuan in this world. He had no impression of Lijun, his nominal hometown, let alone any feelings. However, Jiang Bo was different. He was born in Lijun and his father was in Lijun.
I can understand his emotion.
"Uncle Jiang, please stay when you return to Licheng this time," Luo Chuan did not look at the old coachman's face, but focused his gaze on a mound in the distance, where a family of four were huddled together to eat.
Steamed Bun, I don’t know what they were talking about, and several people burst out laughing, "Look, I have grown up, and you have grown old. This is the principle of fallen leaves returning to their roots."
"I owe my life to my wife. Now that she is gone, I can only live on the head of this little guy like you," the old coachman said with a smile, and his tone was as calm as when Luo Chuan was a child, and he told him that it was getting late.
Same thing when you have to go to bed quickly.
"Silly old man," Luo Chuan shook his head, "She saved you to keep you alive, not to let you die for someone."
"It's all the same," the old coachman suddenly smiled brightly and whipped his whip, "Besides, who said I'm old?!"
