Chapter 978: Changes in the Southwest
***
It rained, very little rain, dripping, Li Ke got up early in the morning, carrying a bookbag and holding an oil-paper umbrella, rushed onto the asphalt road in front of his house, jumped and jumped happily, and happily called to the little friend next door: "Li Le, Wu Tong, come out quickly, come out and see." ”
The loving mother stood in front of the door, and saw that her son was only concerned about Sahuan, the oil-paper umbrella was tilted to the side, and the rain was dripping on her shoulders, so she hurriedly shouted: "Ke'er, quickly put the umbrella well, don't get your clothes wet." ”
Hearing his mother's call, Li Ke hurriedly put the umbrella up, stopped to be happy, and turned around in the rain to worship: "Mother, go back and rest, the child has gone to school." ”
Seeing that her son was sensible and polite, the loving mother in front of the door showed a pleased smile, and couldn't help but say a few words: "Ke'er, don't patronize and play, when walking, remember to keep to the right, the road is still being repaired ahead, there are many cars and horses, be careful along the way." ”
"Yes, mother, the child knows."
When the little friends who were away from home heard Li Ke's shout, they also quickly ran out with their bookbags on their backs, and after running onto the clean asphalt road, like Li Ke, they couldn't help but be excited about joy.
All three of them are less than ten years old, a few years ago, because of famine and war, Li Ke's family was poor, and almost starved to death, now the country and the people are safe, the imperial court has divided the land to each family, and let them study in Mongolia for free, and their lives have changed dramatically.
Li Ke didn't know what the current emperor was called, but he knew that his parents would sooner or later pray for the emperor with incense in front of the immortal card.
Just two months ago, the imperial court began to build an asphalt road, just in front of his house, Li Ke's father had a lot of strength, and just in time for the slack time, he went to the nearby quarrying and sent to the construction site, and now he can earn about three dollars a day, and he can earn a dragon coin in three days.
If this continues, if this section of the road is repaired, you can probably earn twenty dragon coins. This is for ordinary people. It's a very good income. This was something that I couldn't have imagined before.
"Rick, look at my new shoes, do they look good?" My little friend Li Lejia is richer, and proudly shows off his new shoes to Li Ke.
"Beautiful."
Li Ke was wearing a "mille-feuille bottom" hooked by his mother, which was very warm, but he still couldn't help but be a little envious of Li Le's new shoes.
They had to walk three or four miles to school, and when it rained, the mud on the road was up to the instep, and they couldn't wear shoes. They had to take off their shoes and put them in their book bags.
Now the newly built asphalt road, washed by the rain, is shiny and shiny, and there is no longer a trace of mud, and they can finally wear shoes to school.
Li Le, like his name, has a lively personality and keeps talking: "Li Ke, your father is also making money now." Why don't you ask your mother to buy you a new pair of shoes? ”
Li Ke scratched his head and replied, "I like to wear shoes made by my mother, they are very easy to wear." Besides, my mother said that the family's money should be saved. I will marry a wife in the future. ”
"How old are you, you just want to marry a daughter-in-law, and you are not ashamed"
was teased by the two friends, Li Ke was embarrassed to argue: "No, no." I didn't say it, my mother said it. ”
Wu Tong was naughty and filmed it. I deliberately stepped on a small puddle on the side of the road, causing water to splash everywhere, and said in my mouth: "I don't care, my father said, when I turn fifteen, I will let the government match me with a daughter-in-law, anyway, I don't need money." ”
"Ah, Wu Tong, do you want to marry a Nanyang woman?"
"It's not, it's not, my father said, there are also women from our Daqin."
At this time, several carriages and horses carrying sand and gravel passed by, and the adults on the car listened to the words of these boys, and couldn't help laughing, and someone laughed and said: "Little baby, hurry up and go to study, what to worry about marrying a daughter-in-law at a young age, uncle, I don't have a chance to read, you can be regarded as catching up with the good times." ”
The naughty Wu Tong replied: "Uncle, you can't study, but you can marry a daughter-in-law, didn't the government match you with one?" ”
The bearded uncle didn't expect this little baby to be big, and he was choked, and the other people in the car laughed again.
As soon as the carriage passed, another group of ten cavalrymen came, because most of the roads were now built with prisoners, and the military sent people to strengthen patrols nearby to prevent prisoners from escaping.
"Little ghost, do you see anything unusual?" The military master riding a tall horse shouted in a rough voice.
Now the image of the Qin army in the minds of the people is very good, they always win battles, there are a lot of stories to sing and cry about, and they are also very good to the people, Li Ke They are not afraid of these soldiers, but they are very kind.
The three little guys immediately stood in a row, straightened their chests and stomachs, and pretended to salute a military salute: "Report to the general, we didn't see anything." ”
"Nope." Wu Tong added with certainty.
The ten Qin soldiers were amused by them again, and just as they patrolled here, they could turn around, and the leading chief said, "Boy, do you want to ride a horse?" ”
The eyes of the three Li Ke suddenly burst into stars, and their heads nodded like chickens pecking rice.
"Come on!" Shi Chang's big hand stretched down, carried the eagle like a chicken, and suddenly carried Li Ke to the horse's back, so frightened that Li Ke didn't even dare to open his eyes.
Li Le and Wu Tong in the back were also carried on horseback by other soldiers, and the two of them shouted happily: "Drive!" Horses run. ”
"General, when I grow up, will I be your soldier?"
"General, how many times have you won a battle, a hundred times?"
A series of questions made the ten Qin soldiers laugh out loud, of course, they also had to brag about their glorious deeds, how to break the enemy army, how to beat the enemy, and the three of them almost didn't cry.
"Boy, here, study hard, otherwise I won't let you be my soldiers in the future."
"General, we must study hard, you remember what you said."
Three or four miles, because it is horseback riding, it will arrive soon, this is the Mongolian school run by Anding Prefecture, there are thousands of students in the school, the middle and upper families need to pay some tuition, and the children of the lower families are all free to study.
However, the children of wealthy families usually ask their husbands to run private schools, and rarely come to the government-run Mongolian schools to study.
Those students who are far away from home are boarding in the school, so although Li Ke and the others came early today, the laughter of the children was already filled after school.
Anding Prefecture is located in the central and western part of Guizhou Province, which is the only place to pass from Guiyang to Kunming, but in the past, due to the lack of mountains and few places, the traffic was blocked, and the people of Anding Prefecture were very poor.
Now it's different, not only is each family allocated a piece of land, but also the imperial court's taxes are very light, plus the asphalt road is built, as long as you are willing to work, you can always make money. After the road was opened, business travel increased dramatically, and some economic acumen could still make a lot of money.
Not only Li Ke's family, but the entire Anding Prefecture has undergone great changes, no matter how poor you are, at least you can have food and clothing, unlike the original, gnawing tree bark, eating grass roots, and having no meal.
It turned out that when the Shuixi Tusi in the north had just been changed and returned to the stream, there were still people who wanted to rebel, but now they have moved to flat land, and after living a good life, there are not many people making trouble.
I heard that there was still a war between Dongwu and Cochin, and the prisoners who built the road were all prisoners of war who were brought from there. Now it is not only the asphalt road from Changsha to Kunming, but also the imperial court has built an asphalt road from Chengdu to Xijing Chang'an, Changsha to Nanning and then to Jiaozhi, Kunming to Dongwu.
The entire southwest is undergoing earth-shaking changes. Tian Yimu, the governor of the southwest who is specially responsible for changing the land and returning to the stream, is taking advantage of the rebellion of the Tusi rebellion in Si'en Prefecture in Guangxi to change the land and return the Tusi to the stream;
A while ago, the Tusi of Guangxi Guishun Prefecture was dissatisfied with the imperial court's policy of changing the land and returning to the stream, and rebelled again, and sure enough, it was only 20 days before it was destroyed by Ai Nengqi stationed in Guangxi.
Now that Great Qin Tianwei is flourishing, those Tusi have been drawn in large numbers to Jiaozhi and Dongwu to conquer the natives of Dangtu, and there are really few who dare to rebel.
The current emperor is really remarkable, when Qin Shi Huang requisitioned hundreds of thousands of people to build the Great Wall, making the life of the people miserable, and the current emperor also requisitioned hundreds of thousands of prisoners to build roads, as a result, not only did the local people not need to be enlisted, but from these huge projects, they made a lot of money.
Like Li Ke's family, there are many people who set up immortal cards for the emperor, and outside, I heard that the army is constantly sending good news back, in this case, those who have the intention to rebel should also think about it.
