Li Shimin looked at Yang Li and said, "Are you a subordinate of the King of Shu?"
"Return to Your Majesty, the lowly slave is the subordinate of the King of Shu, responsible for the construction of the outer city. Top novel." Yang Li said, he met Li Shimin when Li Shimin came to Yizhou before, although he knew that Li Shimin was coming to Yizhou, he did not expect it , Li Shimin arrived at the construction site before entering Yizhou.
Nodded, Li Shimin really wanted to find someone to explain the situation here, so he asked, "What is being built here?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, because a large number of businessmen have flooded into Yizhou, the city of Yizhou can no longer accommodate so many people, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu is planning to renovate the center of Yizhou City, so many people in the city are going to move here to live. The building here is exactly a residential area." Yang Li said respectfully.
"Residential area? Are all these two-story buildings?" Li Shimin pointed to the exquisite wood and stone mixed two-story small building that can't be seen at a glance.
"Yes, Your Majesty, each square here is a residential area, and there are two-story buildings like this in the residential area, and there will be plumbing projects at the end, and some trees and flowers will be planted in these residential areas."
Li Shimin became interested, "Do you want to plant flowers?"
"Yes, this is what His Royal Highness the King of Shu told you. Apart from housing the demolished people in the city, most of the houses here are for sale, so the residential area must be beautiful, and in this way, only flowers and plants can be planted. The rocks have been laid." Yang Li explained.
Li Shimin shook his head, thinking that this kid Li Yan is really capable of tossing around. He looked at a two-story building that had already been built and said, "You can go and see with me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yang Li responded, leading Li Shimin to a two-story building, "Your Majesty, this is it."
Li Shimin and Cheng Huailiang got off their horses and looked at the two-story building in front of the door. They saw that the area of the two-story building was actually not large, and it was only a dozen meters long from east to west. And there is a side room on the side of the two-story building. He didn't pay attention to it just now, but he was stunned after entering the room. The layout of this house is quite different from the normal house.
"Why is this house so strange?" Li Shimin asked.
Yang Li explained: "Because there are underground pipes buried under these houses, the bathrooms are all designed in this house, and they are all set up in the rooms, the others are bedrooms, the main hall, and the side room outside is used for cooking. place.". Yang Li introduced them one by one.
Nodding his head, Li Shimin came out of the small building. He was no stranger to the bathroom, so he didn't find it strange, but from his point of view, this house was very luxurious even for nobles. For the people to live.
Turning around the outer city again, Li Shimin and Cheng Huailiang rode back to the team. At this time, a sense of shock increased in his heart.
Yizhou City is getting closer, and Li Shimin has seen Li Yin and many people waiting for him at the gate of the city. He urged the team to speed up, and he couldn't wait to see the situation in Yizhou City.
"My sons and ministers see the father!" Li Shimin rode a horse to the gate of the city first, and Li Yin led the officials to salute.
"Exemption!" Li Shimin looked at Li Yin. In the eyes is a father's pride for his son.
"Thank you, father!" Li Yin was also smiling.
The convoy stopped at the gate of the city, and Li Yin was about to salute Empress Changsun. At this time, the curtain of the car opened, but it was not Empress Changsun who came down. It was a little girl carved in pink and jade. She saw Li Yin giggling and jumped out of the carriage without the help of the maid. All of a sudden, he threw himself into Li Yin's arms and shouted, "Sixth Brother!"
Li Yin was a little helpless, the little girl Sizi was still as naughty as before, but he hadn't recovered yet, and another person ran over, but he was not as unscrupulous as Sizi, but respectfully bowed to Li Yin : "Sixth brother!" It was Li Zhi, and behind Li Zhi stood the seventh prince, Li Yun, and the eighth prince, Li Zhen, all bowed to Li Yin and shouted: "Sixth brother!"
Suddenly so many younger brothers and sisters came, Li Yin was a little at a loss. He was just about to speak, when Empress Changsun said, "Son, don't mess around."
"Exemption!" Empress Changsun got out of the carriage, walked up to Li Shimin, and said, "Jianjincheng, your father can't wait to see what your Yizhou has become like now?"
"Yes, Queen Mother!" Li Yin said, "Father, Queen Mother please!" He made a gesture of invitation.
Li Shimin saw Li Yin's stiff look and said: "Liu Lang is walking together, we are all a family, so don't be so rigid about etiquette, are you going to stay at the gate of the city until dark?"
Li Yan laughed and said: "Yes, father." He followed behind, but he walked with Concubine Yang.
"What your father said is that you should stay with your father and queen first!" Concubine Yang looked at Li Yin dotingly.
Li Yin said yes, let Cui Yingying accompany Concubine Yang, and he rushed to accompany Li Shimin all the way, answering the questions raised by Li Shimin one by one.
"This is Yizhou Government Affairs University?" Li Shimin stopped when passing by the Government Affairs University, showing great interest, and was about to walk inside.
Li Yin said: "Father, it is already too late. At this time, the students may have finished class, and the cars and horses are exhausted. Father should rest for a night. Tomorrow, my son will accompany Father to visit several universities in Yizhou!"
Li Shimin looked at the sky when he heard the words. It was indeed dark at this time. He was a little bit reluctant, but he still listened to Li Yin's opinion, but his heart was as itchy as a cat scratching.
Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang both looked helplessly at each other, and Li Shimin's curiosity was also terrifying.
Walking all the way like this, Li Yin explained the buildings and scenery along the road to Li Shimin. After arriving at the palace, the sky was completely dark, but fortunately, the electricity was connected to the palace, and it was still bright everywhere. The scenery made Li Shimin even more unable to walk. He stood in front of a street lamp in the palace and kept looking up and down, "Liulang, there is no candle in this thing, how can it be so bright?"
Li Yin frowned. He knew that Li Shimin would ask this question, because he would always ask this question when he saw this person for the first time, so he explained to Li Shimin the principle that he had explained countless times, although Li Shimin was the same as everyone else. He had a half-knowledge, or was completely clueless, but he knew that it was from Luo Anguo, so he stopped asking. After all, there were already enough strange things, and this one was not bad.
When they arrived at the palace, Cui Yingying arranged for the maidservants to arrange the concubines, the prince and the princess to their respective residences, but Li Shimin didn't want to go back to rest for the time being, so he dragged Li Yin around the palace. He was very surprised, such as the walkie-talkie, such as the poker and mahjong in the entertainment room, and even various electrical appliances in the room.
And Li Yin also acted as a commentator for a while, explaining to Li Shimin one by one, and demonstrating the functions of these things, especially the walkie-talkie. Li Shimin's reaction was no less than that of Rong Da and Jin Daqian at that time. On the other hand, Li Shimin's mind is still very open-minded, he quickly accepted these new things, and after a while he had a great time playing with the walkie-talkie.
Everyone's residence has been arranged properly, Li Yin said to Li Shimin who was still turning on the light bulb switch: "Father, it's time to eat!"
"Okay, eat!" Li Shimin left Li Yin's King of Shu, and did not forget to press back and forth at the end.
Because there were a lot of people coming this time, Li Yin arranged the family banquet in the main hall where the banquet was held during the Chinese New Year, otherwise the small room really couldn't accommodate so many people.
Li Shimin sat down side by side with Empress Changsun on the main seat. He was in a good mood and said with a smile: "It has been almost three years since I ate in Yizhou last time, but I still remember the delicious food that Liu Lang prepared for me at that time. Liu Lang , Now Yizhou is said to have produced a lot of good things, this time the father plans to stay in Yizhou for a while, you should let the father open his eyes."
Li Yin stood up and said with a smile: "Father came to Yizhou, and I will do my best to satisfy my father."
Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Okay, the family feast begins!"
"This..." Li Yin glanced at the empty seat on Li Shimin's right, and said with some hesitation, "Father, the emperor's grandfather hasn't arrived yet, should we wait for him?"
Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that he told Li Yin to invite Li Yuan, and he was so happy that he forgot for a while.
He was just about to speak when there was a coughing sound at the door of the main hall... (to be continued...)
