Chapter 1055: The Road Is Difficult

Snow cleaning in Chang'an City is the top priority, and it is also the place where the imperial court invests the most strength, as long as it is a snowy weather, the relevant personnel will begin to be busy, even when they sleep at night, they will work in shifts, constantly clean up the new snowflakes, and ensure the smooth flow of the roads in the city, so that unless it is really a goose feather heavy snow, otherwise, the roads inside the capital will not be blocked.

And for the huge road outside the city, it is not so lucky, the imperial court cannot invest too much power outside the city, anyway, the emperor and the magnates, basically live in the city, and they mainly serve the emperor and the magnates, where do you need to care about whether the travel of ordinary people is convenient, only after satisfying the magnates, can you consider ordinary people, this order can not be easily changed.

In this way, it will be bitter for the people and businessmen and other groups outside the city, because the snow is not cleared in time, many people get up early in the morning, and find that the road is covered by thick snow, the thickness of the snow is so large that the vehicle can not pass, or it can barely pass, but the effect is very bad, the light fuel consumption and can not walk much road, but also from time to time skidding, and even the vehicle to break, if you encounter a steep downhill road, it is simply no different from looking for death, very helpless.

Li An lives outside the city, and the snow at the door of his house has been cleaned up by the servants, but there is a lot of snow on the main road, and the snow is still flying, and the number of relevant personnel in the imperial court is insufficient, which is obviously not something that can be cleaned up in the short term, but fortunately, Li An doesn't have to rush to work, and he doesn't have to worry too much about the snow blocking the road, and he can also enjoy the beautiful snow scene.

Snow on the road has a great impact on the vehicle, because the vehicle mainly relies on the wheels to travel, and once the wheels are covered with a large amount of snow, it is easy to slip when walking, which brings extremely difficult travel.

However, for traditional horses, the snow on the road is not much of a problem, because the horses rely on their legs and hooves to walk step by step, unless the snow thickness of the road is too high, which will make it difficult for horses to pass.

The common people are naturally very aware of this, so many people are leading horses to travel, some go out to visit, some go out to work, and some go out to see the snow in the scenic area.

"When it snows, I know that horses are still good!"

A sour man leading a donkey, mocking the motor vehicle stuck in the snow to himself, was very proud.

Hearing the sour words, the driver was not happy, and sneered: "Some people think that horses are good, so why do they lead donkeys?" I'm afraid that the old eyes are dizzy, and I can't even tell the difference between a horse and a donkey! ”

"The concubine is not enough to talk to him, not enough to speak to him."

The sour Ru was still proudly holding the donkey, talking to himself as he walked.

This scene of dialogue happened to be heard by Li An, who had just gone out, and thought it was very interesting, but he didn't care, he also had to prepare hunting tools, today's snow is falling, it is a good day for hunting, it is estimated that many people will choose to go into the mountains to hunt on such days, in order to be able to get more prey.

Snow is definitely a good thing for hunting, and while it makes it more difficult for horses and humans to walk, it is also true for many prey, and the prey leaves footprints on the snow to guide the hunter to find the prey and then hunt the prey.

Even, there are some relatively small animals, because the legs and feet are too short, so when the snow is very thick, it will become extremely clumsy, and the speed of walking on the snow is not as fast as that of people, and even directly stuff their heads into the snow in a vain attempt to deceive the hunter, and the result is often easy to be caught.

The stupid roe deer in the Yingzhou area is like this, after being found by the hunters, because they really can't run, so they stick their heads into the snow, which is compared with the ostriches in the African desert, and the same is true for ostriches, but there is no snow in the African desert, only endless yellow sand, and when the ostrich can't run, it will stuff its head into the sand.

The silly roe deer is very curious, and if you shout, it will stop and look to see what is going on, and in this way, it will be easy to capture.

These stupid roe deer mainly live in the Yingzhou area, Li An before coming to the capital, did not catch less roe deer, but there are no roe deer near the capital, it is impossible to go to the roe deer, want to see the live roe deer, but also go to the royal beast garden to see, if you want to eat wild roe deer meat, it is more convenient, go to the best restaurant in the capital, although the game of Datang is getting less and less, but the number of roe deer is enough, in the Yingzhou area, there are even small landlords specializing in breeding, in this way, The output is greatly guaranteed, and the continuous supply of the capital is not a problem.

The premise of large-scale breeding is that there is enough grain, and now the amount of grain has exceeded the needs of the people, and there is a large surplus every year, so that the price of grain has fallen, and after the grain is worthless, feeding the more expensive meat and livestock with grain has become a good way out for the people, and feeding roe deer and other game, the income will be higher, so the breeding of roe deer has developed.

The reason for breeding roe deer, in addition to the price is more expensive than pork, but also because the roe deer has a docile personality, it is easier to feed, if it is a short-tempered beast, few people are willing to raise, such as wild boars are more ferocious, ordinary people really dare not raise, at least, in the capital Chang'an, only Li An has just built a farm to breed wild boars, and the others are chickens, ducks and geese, as well as some small mild game grown locally.

"Ah Lang, the snow is so heavy today, the roads are full of thick snow, it's too dangerous, don't go hunting in the mountains!"

A servant explained.

"It's okay, hurry up and prepare the horses, hurry up."

Without too much explanation, Li An asked him to immediately prepare the horses and various equipment needed for the trip, and of course, to notify a certain number of guards and let them accompany Li An to ensure Li An's absolute safety.

The snowy weather is a good season for hunting, Li Yu has long said that as long as it encounters very heavy snowy weather, as long as there are no special circumstances, he will definitely come out to hunt, and then go directly to the bottom of the mountain to meet, Li An went hunting this time, naturally he also had to meet Li Yu first, and then, go up the mountain together.

Because the snow is too big, it is very inconvenient to travel, so Li An does not want to take too many guards to the mountain, five or six people are enough, and the horses are twice the number of people, so that some materials can be consigned, and you can also change to ride a horse to save the physical strength of the horses.

Because the snow shows no signs of stopping, Ang Lee must prepare a hat for himself that can block the snow, otherwise, it won't be long before he will turn his head white, which is very bad.

Wearing a special big hat, Ang Lee feels like a hero, and if he can add a translucent curtain, the effect will be even better.

Because of the heavy snow closure of the road, there are not many pedestrians on the road, and most of the people, as long as there is no urgency, will choose to stay at home honestly and will not come out to join in the fun.

Only restless people like Ang Lee would choose to go out hunting and play in such weather, which is more fun and exciting.

There are a lot of businessmen's convoys on the road, but because the road is blocked by heavy snow, the vehicles are walking very slowly, and the people who are in charge of driving the car keep scolding their mothers, scolding God for a while, scolding these people under their hands for a while, complaining that they are too bad at doing things, and they are so grinding, and the young people are more popular, and they are angry and fierce, and they directly overturn the vehicle, and the leading businessman can't see anything wrong, but there is no bitterness to say, but scolding is indispensable, and the young man is scolded at this time, Although he was not happy, he was also a lot more comfortable in his heart, because he did a bad thing and caused the merchant to suffer a lot of losses.

For this kind of vindictiveness between low-level people, Li Ang is very open, and he also thinks it is very interesting, he did not do such things in his previous life, for example, when he was working, he deliberately cheated and played tricks, in order to make himself angry and let the boss lose a little more, who let the boss always deduct his salary? If you don't let the boss lose a lot, won't you lose a lot.

Now that I think about it, these behaviors are really very naΓ―ve, just to make myself angry, to do such a bad thing, it is really a bit undeserved, and it will not allow you to get anything.

The busy merchant convoy occupies most of the roads outside the city, and there are too few pedestrians compared to them, and even some remote sections of the road, there is no one at all in such weather, and Li An and his party, walking on such a road, it seems a little abrupt.

However, there are still some covered horseshoe prints on the road, which is enough to show that there are still people walking on this road, and judging from the traces of the horseshoe prints being covered, it should be half an hour ago, maybe Li Yu set off in advance, maybe someone else.

Li An sent a guard to explore the way ahead to see if Li Yu had arrived at the bottom of the mountain, and soon, the guard came back, and at the bottom of the mountain in front, there were not only Li Yu, but also a few beautiful little ladies, dressed as sons, but they couldn't fool smart people, because they were too smart.

There are cute girls to see, Li An naturally has to speed up, at least out of politeness, he can't make people wait too long, Li Yu is also the emperor's grandson, knowing that he is there, naturally he can't rub it in.

"King Guangping came so early! And brought so many people. ”

As soon as Li An arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he saw more than 20 people and three strong horses that were fat and healthy.

"Li Shilang, let me introduce you, these two are the brothers of the concubine Pearl, and they came to hunt together today, and they also took a look at the snow scene by the way."

Li Yu opened his mouth to introduce.

"Brother? looks so smart, people are thrilled when they see it, who are you fooling? I'm not an outsider, and I need to lie in front of me. ”

Li An exposed it on the spot, it's not that Li An doesn't give Li Yu face, it's really impossible to pretend, these two little ladies are too delicate, and they are full of fragrance all over their bodies, and they don't have any male appearance at all.

"What did I say, no matter how much you disguise yourself, you don't want to deceive Li Shilang, what is happening now, it has been exposed!"

Li Yu was not angry, but pointed to the two little ladies and started a lesson, saying that the two of them just pouted, but did not say anything.

"King Guangping, who are these two little ladies! How come you've never seen it before? ”

Li Ang really hadn't seen the two of them, so he asked.

Li Yu looked at the two little ladies unkindly, and said: "Li Shilang naturally hasn't seen it, these two are my father's concubines, they don't even have a title, they live with the high-ranking palace maids, I don't know, I think they are the palace maids who are waiting?" ”

"Oh, it's the daughter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li An thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have a title, it's the prince's bloodline, you can't be wrong, I and King Guangping are the same generation, you can call me brother, and I can call you sister." ”

In ancient times, many times, the children of the concubine have no status, and even, sometimes even the subordinates are inferior, if the mother of these concubines is a servant, then, the children born are also servants, and there is almost no difference from ordinary servants, it can be said that it is very cruel, the same is the father's blood and blood, because of the mother's identity is different, which has caused a huge gap in the status of the children.

And many times, the main reason for this situation is that the father can't control his lower body, and he pounces on the young and beautiful maid when he sees it, and according to the provisions of the law, a man with a high status must not marry a lowly maid, so that even if the maid is pregnant and gives birth to a child, the child born is also a servant, and he does not get the slightest treatment of the master.

Of course, if the mother is not a servant, but a concubine of the father, then the status of this kind of concubine will be slightly higher, at least higher than that of a servant, but it is still a lot weaker than that of a concubine.

Li Yu is Li Heng's sister-in-law, and the two little ladies in front of him have no titles, it can be seen that their mothers, such as people with very low status, may be very unfavored concubines, or they may be serving palace maids, the prince Li Heng was depressed, and when he saw the palace maid, he went directly to the palace maid, and the palace maid couldn't refuse, so he had a child, and after giving birth, he became a child with a very low status, and he didn't have any status at all.
