Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Take the Son as the Pledge
As the carriage turned around, the whole picture was revealed, unlike other cities. The wide main road was clean and orderly, with blue brick and tiled houses on both sides. Two canals passed through the city. There were women cleaning clothes beside the canals. When the carriage passed, almost no one stopped to take a look, as if they were very busy.
Today, Jianpu City has expanded some more. The carriage passed by was considered an outer city. Xu Yi personally stood at the gate of the inner city to greet him. It was said that it was an inner gate, but in fact there was not even a door. It was a stone archway with the word Jianpu carved on it.
"Xu Yi, the governor of Jianzhou, has met Lord Dou!" Xu Yi led two subordinates and stood under the city gate. From a distance, he saw the head poking out of the carriage. It was an old acquaintance, Eunuch Gao. I guess Lord Dou was also together. When the carriage arrived at the city gate, Xu Yi bowed and said.
"You are polite, Lord Xu, I am here uninvited, I'm disturbing you!" Dou Yi finally felt comfortable after getting off the carriage. There were basically mountain roads here, and it was a lot of bumps along the way.
"If Lord Dou is not there, the officials have long admired Master's knowledge. It is a blessing to be able to meet him today." Xu Yi's words are not a praising. Dou Xian is rich in his knowledge. In the Song Dynasty, he is also a stubborn existence.
"Mr. Xu, where is the Marquis? Why didn't you see him?" Eunuch Gao was not interested in this kind of flattery, and he couldn't even get into it. It's better for the Marquis to be a man. He would give money in addition to eating and drinking.
"Eunuch Gao, the Marquis just got a pair of children, and I'm busy now." Xu Yi said lies, without blinking his eyes. Sun Yu was not busy, just not wanting to come.
"We don't know about this. Take me to the jewelry store first. We should bring a small thing as a gift for the meeting." Eunuch Gao treated Sun Yu as his own and came to the door empty-handed, which was too rude.
"Eunuch Gao is a noble man from Jinling. If you can arrive, that is the greatest wish. The Marquis is not too happy." Xu Yi said so happily.
Dou Yi, who was standing beside him, looked at the shops around them and the pedestrians passing by. Most of the pedestrians were walking in a hurry, and compared to Jiangning, there was at least a little more spirit in their eyes. Jianzhou was really right.
"Sir Dou, Eunuch Gao, please get on the carriage, let's go to the inn to settle down first." The inn had already been cleaned up, so Xu Yi naturally wanted to take them there first. As for when Sun Yu would see them, he didn't know.
On the carriage, Dou Yi lifted the curtain and looked over. The cleanliness of Jianpu City is even three points better than Kaifeng. On the way, there is no way to see horse manure. When cows and horses enter the city, they have to put bags in the back, and then the feces can be cleaned in public toilets.
"Mr. Dou, how about this Jianpu City?" Before Jianpu was completed, Eunuch Gao came here. He knew that the planning of this Jianpu City is three points more thoughtful than Jiangning.
"Clean, tidy, and orderly, not far from Kaifeng." After Dou Yi finished speaking, his face felt a little burning, but if he said that this remote place was better than Kaifeng, his face was too harsh and he couldn't say it.
"Mr. Dou, let's go with our house." Eunuch An was very familiar with him here and lived for a long time. He felt like he was going home. After all, he was just a servant in the palace.
Dou Yi got off the carriage. As soon as he entered the inn, he felt that it was extraordinary. The walls and the ground were covered with stone slabs, without even a gap.
"Mr. Xu, what did this make?" Dou Yi felt that this was definitely not a whole stone slab, otherwise the cost could be raised to the sky by just transportation. If this was a royal palace, it would be possible, but it was just an inn, so it was not so luxurious.
"Cement, a specialty of Jianzhou, is very good for building walls and painting floors, but it is too expensive, so it is only used in a few places." Xu Yi did not lie to him. Most people should use blue bricks at most, and there are very few that they are willing to pour with cement as a whole.
"This thing is very good and cannot be popularized, which is too regretful." Dou Yi shook his head. Since it was a luxury, then forget it. Even if it was taken back, it would be of no use to the people's livelihood. Instead, the Southern Tang Dynasty used this thing to reap the wealth of the Song Dynasty.
"How can the world be perfect for eight or nine things? "Xu Yi was open-minded. Cement cannot be spread on a large scale in a short period of time. However, with the development of technology, sooner or later, it will be available to ordinary people, just like the porcelain used to be.
There were also chefs in the inn, but the skills were not satisfactory. Xu Yi specially invited the chef from the restaurant in the city and made a good meal to welcome the two of them. During the meal, Xu Yi specially prepared several jars of Feitian, and directly put Dou Yi down, and asked the entourage to take to the room to sleep. Then he led the half-drunk Eunuch Gao to the backyard of the governor's mansion together, and Sun Yu was waiting there.
When Eunuch Gao entered the door, he saw Sun Yu pushing a cart specially built by the craftsman camp. Two children were lying side by side, with sunscreen curtains on it. It was really a wonderful idea to take care of the child like this.
"Mr. Marquis, is this?" After Eunuch Gao entered the door, he looked up and down. The two children were lying inside. Looking at the expression, he knew that they were quite enjoyable and had no intention of making noise at all.
"Eunuch Gao, don't be too close. How much have you drunk? It's so scented the child." Sun Yu smelled the smell of alcohol in his mouth, and the child was intoxicated by the smell of alcohol.
"Oh, our family is wrong. I'm sorry, young master and young lady." Eunuch Gao was half drunk, but he was very happy. The more Sun Yu was not polite to him, the more he felt comfortable.
"Eunuch Gao, this is a stroller, this thing looks simple. But this wheel, hehe, most people can't make it." There is no rubber these days, so it can only be covered with a layer of cowhide, and the middle is filled with some cotton wool, which finally has a cushioning effect. The most important thing is that for the sake of durability, the wood wheel is made of iron bearings. For this thing, the entire craftsman camp has been studying for almost a year and finally has a finished product.
"Looking back, can you get two frames for me to take back? This is novel." Eunuch Gao felt that even the two sons of His Majesty can't use this thing now, but there is no guarantee that there will be a prince later. This is a good thing to give rewards. At that time, as long as the little prince likes it, the reward will be tempted to think about it.
"What's the matter? I'll give you a better whole thing later. I'll take it back and keep the two princes in love." With bearings, there are more things to do. Making two bicycles that don't have chains and feet to pedal the ground with two auxiliary wheels will be much simpler, and fooling children will be no problem.
"Then let our family thank you for the marquis first." Who would consider the future of the prince? Eunuch Gao is now thinking about what Sun Yugang said better.
"What is the so-called Song envoy who came here? Can Eunuch Gao know?" Sun Yu was puzzled. The Song envoy insisted on coming to this remote place. His head was broken. He was having fun in Jiangning and then went back to Kaifeng. How great it would be.
"We don't know, but I feel that this Song envoy is purely interested in you, Marquis." Along the way, Dou Yi had been asking about Sun Yu a lot, but was basically indifferent to the war between him and Fuzhou.
"What does it mean?" Sun Yu felt that the chrysanthemums tightened. Could it be that they had encountered a pervert? There are also many things like Long Yang in this year.
"Don't think about it randomly. He is most interested in the behavior of the marquis." If he has dirty thoughts, the one who inquires must be his appearance and demeanor.
"Well, I don't think about it. That one, I always have to meet you. Eunuch Gao thinks?" Sun Yu was much more relaxed. Since the other party was here, if he kept avoiding him, the other party would stay there. For him, it was too hindered. The key was to ensure his absolute safety.
"The Marquis can see you anytime you want. As long as we have food and drink, we can stay here, feel comfortable, and we don't rush back." This time, we came here with the envoy Song. We couldn't decide the itinerary by ourselves, and we wanted to stay here for a little longer to enjoy the outside world. In the palace, you can meet someone taller than him wherever you go. Even if you are surrounded by An Jinhai, you will be free here.
"Then I'll see you tomorrow night." Sun Yu thought about it and it would be done as soon as possible. He would have to go to Quanzhou in a few days. The warship was about to go into the water, so what would it be if he was not in the field? This was the first serious ocean-going fleet with artillery.
"Cheng, when Lord Dou turns around and wakes up, our family will tell him personally. I heard that the Marquis has been happy to have a daughter in his beloved son. Congratulations to us here!" Eunuch Gao bowed his hand and suddenly felt a little thirsty. He picked up the tea and drank it up. He would never dare to be so rude in the palace.
"Haha, thank you for your father-in-law. The child is still young now, otherwise he would definitely take it out for him to see. The daughter looks like me, but the son looks like a mother. You tell me this." Sun Yu shook his head and put a foreshadowing first.
"My son is like a mother, and it has been so strange since ancient times? Now the marquis is leading troops outside, with tens of thousands of armor under his command, and he has to be careful. There are villains in the court who will slander him." Eunuch Gao heard that since Sun Yu became the throne of Jiedu, he was also granted the title of Marquis. He has been criticized many times in the court and has been suppressed by His Majesty. Now Sun Yu is a saintly relative, but who can guarantee that this saintly relative will last?
"My father-in-law thinks, what should Sun do?" Sun Yu lowered his posture and said with a look of scrubbing his ears, but in fact he knew it.
"Marty, you should keep a son. Only when you are in Jiangning can your Majesty be relieved." This matter was specifically explained to him before leaving, and how to forget it. They all thought that Sun Yu suddenly got a high position and must not understand these things, so they deliberately reminded him that there is no one who does not keep a son as a matter.
"How did this make my son just full moon, how could he leave his parents?" Sun Yu looked shocked, as if he had never thought about this.
"Marquis, the young master of a wealthy family, must have more responsibility when enjoying power that others do not have. For example, Marquis, if he had not suffered a lot when he was young, how could he have the power of today?" Eunuch Gao was quite moved, just like himself, if his parents had not sent him to the palace and were killed by this knife, let alone his current status, he would have starved to death on the side of the road.
"Eunuch Gao said nothing badly, but as a parent, how can I be cruel to this? Wait until my son is older." Sun Yu was so entangled that he finally made up his mind.
"Don't worry, the young master will definitely be safe when he enters Jiangning. Your Majesty will take care of this matter, no worse than waiting for the marquis. Besides, the marquis also has a huge industry in Jiangning. The young master lives in the Duke's Mansion, and the food, clothing and consumption are three points better than here." No matter how well Jianpu City develops, it is a very different place than Jiangning Mansion. The Duke's Mansion in Jiangning is also a first-class family, so naturally he lives a prosperous life.
