I'm a marquis in Datang

Changsun Chong nodded his head hurriedly and said: "King Xia, I'm really not used to everything in Gaochang. The weather here is colder, and the food here is slightly different from that in the Central Plains, especially there are no people I know well here. So here in Gaochang, I am not used to basic necessities of life, and I am depressed all day long."

He was afraid that Du Qi would not release him.

In order to leave, he had already risked everything, and only hoped that Du Qi could give him a way out.

Du Qi said: "Not bad, dare to tell the truth. Forget it, I won't tease you. The king called you here today, and he really intends to release you. After all, according to Ma Zhou's plan, my father has already arrived in the Western Regions. So you, you can Go back to Chang'an."

"Thank you King Xia, thank you King Xia."

The eldest grandson rushed to express his thanks.

As long as he can go back, Chang Sun Chong will not care about face for a long time.

On the good day in Chang'an, Chang Sun Chong was overjoyed in his heart, his whole body was full of strength, and he was no longer listless.

Du Qi continued: "Elder Sun Chong, the reason why this king called you here to see you alone is very simple. It is to tell you to go back and tell your father to stop targeting me in Xiaguo. Because once the war starts, As long as this king has the upper hand, there will definitely be one condition proposed, let your eldest grandson Chong come as a hostage. Therefore, you hope that Datang and this king will not go to war, and let your father pay more attention, so don't keep staring at me. Wang. Otherwise, in the end, it will definitely be your eldest Sun Chong who suffers."

As soon as the eldest grandson heard the cheek twitch, his face was full of helplessness.

Even a little bitter.

He is so difficult.

Why did Datang and Xia Guo go to war, once Du Qi gained the upper hand, they would let him be a hostage.He didn't invite disaster or cause trouble, but Du Qi seemed to be aiming at him, and he just stared at him to deal with it alone.

This is too overbearing.

Chang Sun Chong was very unhappy in his heart, but facing Du Qi, Chang Sun Chong was timid and did not dare to reveal his thoughts, so he could only say immediately: "Don't worry, King Xia, I will definitely convey your words truthfully. "

Du Qi said: "Okay, since you understand, I won't say more.

Go down, pack your own bags, and you can leave Gaochang with people. "

"Yes!"

After Chang Sun Chong thanked him, he got up and left.

With Chang Sun Chong's departure, Du Qi no longer took care of Chang Sun Chong's affairs.Du Qi believed that there must be members of the Changsun family in this city who would protect Changsun Chong's safety.

After Changsun Chong left, Du Qi arranged for someone to notify Shangguanyi, Ma Zhou and Laiji to discuss the matter.Not long after, the three of them entered the main hall, and Du enlightened the three of them to sit down, so he went straight to the point and said: "Today, I called you together to talk about the implementation of the same text and the same track in the Xia Kingdom. Things have already begun to be implemented, and even the localities are promoting the situation that is conducive to people having more children. I want to find out what the specific situation is."

Shangguanyi said: "King Xia's intention is very simple. He wants to go out for inspection and visit privately to understand the situation."

"Yes!"

Du Qi nodded and said: "Mr. Shangguan is the one who knows me. I'm still a little worried about the local implementation. So I have to visit and find out in person, and nothing can go wrong."

Shangguanyi thought for a while and said, "Since Your Majesty decided to visit in private, I suggest that you start from Gaochang City and go to Yizhou first. After all, Yizhou is the earliest foundation of Your Majesty and has the longest development time."

"In addition, Yizhou is also adjacent to the border of the Tang Dynasty, so we can learn about the situation on the border. Therefore, as a general arrangement, I suggest that you first go east from the south of Gaochang Prefecture, and after entering Yizhou, patrol the microservices all the way for private visits."

"After arriving at Yiwu County, then go to Rouyuan County in the east, and finally go west from the north of Rouyuan County, then return to the north of Gaochang Prefecture, and finally enter Yanqi Prefecture in the west, and then go to Qiuci Prefecture , Shule Prefecture visit."

Shangguanyi said: "It will take a lot of time to walk around, but at the same time, the king will have the most profound understanding of the situation of the entire Xia Kingdom."

Lai Ji echoed, "Your Majesty, I agree with Mr. Shangguan's suggestion."

Ma Zhou also agreed.

This is the simplest and most reasonable arrangement.

Du Qi thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, just follow Mr. Shangguan's arrangement. The three of you go and make arrangements, and you will leave with me tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Shangguanyi and the others got up to answer.

After the three of them left, Du Qi went back to the harem first, told Li Yanyun and Qianxue about going out for a private visit, and asked them to take good care of the child.Then Du Qi left the palace, went to the mansion where Du Ruhui lived now, and asked Du Ruhui to be in charge of Xia Guo's overall situation.

Although there are six ministries dealing with government affairs, Du Ruhui was once the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and knows how to run government affairs better.With Du Ruhui in charge of the overall situation, there would be no problems in the rear.

At Du Ruhui's mansion, Du Qi accompanied the elders for lunch before getting up and leaving for Du Gou's mansion.

However, Du Gou is extremely decisive in his actions, quite like Du Ruhui, and has already begun to intervene in government affairs.According to Du Qi's instructions, he only took care of the population, and gathered all the materials and personnel in this area.

Du Qi is naturally happy to see it succeed.

Although Du Qi didn't find anyone in Du Gou's house, he went straight back to the palace.When he returned to the palace, he amused with the child.The family is together, happy and harmonious, very happy.

One day is fleeting.

The next day, early in the morning.

Early in the morning, Du Qi got up from Li Yanyun's bed and glanced at the child

After that, they set off to leave.When Du Qi left this time, he was still followed by Liu Jian and Mo Ledu.

Liu Jian is now the chief official of the imperial dining room in the palace.

He is also an official.

Moledo is in charge of the forbidden army and is responsible for protecting Du Qi's safety.

Du Qi led people out of the city, and soon joined Shangguanyi, Laiji, and Ma Zhou, and set off to leave.This time, they left without mobilizing the rest of the army, and there were more than a hundred personal guards brought by Moredo.

Even though there were guards, more than a hundred guards were actually hiding in the dark and never followed Du Qi on the road.Once there are personal guards, it's too ostentatious.

Chapter 895

new carriage

Du Qi is not traveling fast at this time, on the contrary, he is traveling very slowly.This is because Du Qi wanted to see the situation in various places along the way, so as to understand the situation in the entire Xia Kingdom.Judging from the taxation on the books, the taxation of the Xia Kingdom has been rising rapidly, and the economy is developing rapidly, which can be described as thriving.

However, only when Du Qi saw it with his own eyes would he understand the specific situation of local development.After all, the increase in taxes collected does not necessarily mean that the people are really living well.

The road on the official road is still a cement road. Although such a road does not meet the standard of an asphalt road, there are no large trucks in this era. Even if it is a cement road for the time being, it is enough to ensure the smoothness of the road.

In particular, the standard for all cement roads is two feet wide, which is wide enough to pass through.The carriage was running on the cement road, and it was relatively stable, without any bumps.

Du Qi sat in the carriage, watching while walking.When it was almost noon, the group stopped halfway to eat.Because there are no shops in front of the village and no shops in the back, there are not many people on the way. After all, it is not a place where common people live together, so I can only do it myself.Fortunately, Liu Jian brought enough ingredients and equipment with him at all times, so he quickly buried the pot to cook and prepared lunch in the open air.

Du Qi sat aside, quietly looking around.

Shangguanyi sat beside Du Qi, and he said, "Young Master, we walked all the way from us, half a morning's journey, because we walked slowly, we can see many places. Now that spring begins in March, the people are busy farming, busy It’s about spring plowing. It’s either planting grain or cotton, especially this year’s weather is good, and I guess it should be a good harvest year.”

Du Qi smiled and said, "I'm not worried about farming at all. Because all the people in the country of Xia are exempt from agricultural tax, so they are going all out to cultivate and strive to collect more grain."

"I only paid attention to one thing along the way, that is, we came across ten carriages along the way. These ten carriages are different from ordinary carriages. The bottom four wheels are more than two feet long and one foot wide. left and right, very wide."
