…

Suburbs of Tokyo.

A convoy of fifteen carriages was coming from a distance.

When the convoy was closer, some passers-by were shocked to find that the owner of the convoy turned out to be a beautiful woman.

This beautiful woman was wearing a white floor-dress, with pink patterns embroidered on her wide dress, and her arms were about a stunning purple gauze. She was tied with a purple emerald brocade belt, and her black hair was tied with a lilac ribbon. A few strands of hair were naughtyly hanging down her shoulders, making her skin that could be broken even whiter. She had not applied any makeup on her face, but she still couldn't hide her stunning face. Her expression was indifferent, as if she was not as good as a fairy in the world.

The beautiful woman's surname is "Li" and her husband's surname is "Zhao". She was originally a left-behind Zibo.

A year ago, the Jin people were defeated and moved south. Zhao Liushou was promoted to an official for his contribution to pacifying local deserters and disrupting order. His future was about to become even brighter.

But unexpectedly, after only half a year, the Jin people went south again, and the King of Liaodong Li Yan also sent troops to the Central Plains.

Zhao Liushou was a man who was well-read in poetry and books. How could he do the work of those two ministers?

In the Central Army, well... it should have been called Liangshan Army at that time. When he arrived in Zibo, Zhao Liushou was really unable to resist and could only hang his seal.

After that, Zhao Liushou and Li lived a pastoral life of farming and weaving.

The couple wanted to stay like this until they were old.

Unexpectedly, not long ago, Zhao Liushou suddenly heard bad news that his mother died in Jiangning (later Nanjing City), so he hurried south to attend the funeral.

Shortly after Zhao Liushou left, Li received news that King Kang of Zhao ascended the throne in Yingtian Prefecture, Nanjing and became the tenth emperor of Zhao Song.

Not long after, Li heard another news that the CICC war started and the Song army retreated south of the Yangtze River.

As we saw that Zhong Song was about to draw the river and govern.

Li couldn't help but worry that although the distance between Zibo and Jiangning is not far, once the Zhongsong Dynasty paints Jiang, the two places will belong to the two countries. If the relationship between the two countries is a little tense, then it would be difficult for her to see her husband Zhao Liuzhao again. Maybe the two will be separated from each other.

After thinking for two days, Li made a bold decision - to go south to find his own officials.

Li didn't want to do this, but Li knew very well that officials were unwilling to be middle-level officials. Therefore, once the Zhong and Song dynasties belonged to the two countries, the officials were likely not to come back.

Therefore, in order not to be separated from the officials, the Li family began to organize, select and collect and prepare to go south.

Li is not the ordinary person in the world. Apart from her treasured classics, there is nothing she can't give up.

However, just books and some clothes, Li still installed a total of fifteen large cars.

This made Li family difficult - it was impossible to transport fifteen large trucks from Zibo to Jiangning in this chaos!

Li originally wanted to take the water route to the East China Sea, cross the Huai River, cross the river, and reach Jiankang.

But now the waterway has been blocked by the Central Army. Years of famine and wars have caused a large amount of food shortage in the Central Plains. The people of the Central Plains suffer from hunger and food. In order to solve the problem of food shortage, the Central Army concentrated all China's transportation capacity to transport food from Goryeo, Japan and Taiwan to the Central Plains at the same time. At the same time, the Ministry of Transport also ordered that all ships be recruited for a fee, all waterways be temporarily blocked, and all forces are concentrated to deliver food to the Central Plains.

Under such circumstances, Li's plan to go to Jiangning by water is naturally difficult to implement.

In this way, Li had to go to Jiangning by land.

To be honest, Li is reluctant to go to Jiangning by land.

In Li's opinion, bandits will inevitably be rampant by land, and the possibility of her being able to reach Jiangning smoothly is very small.

But Li was even more reluctant to be separated from her husband.

So, gritted his teeth, Li finally chose to go to Jiangning by land.

However--

What Li never expected was that the road was much safer than she thought.

Along the way, there are central troops everywhere to maintain order.

Moreover, Li also heard that the Central Army was suppressing bandits everywhere, and so far, all the famous bandits in Shandong had been wiped out by the Central Army.

In addition, there are thirty miles a hall, ten miles a station, and five miles a pavilion. Li can find a safe place to rest wherever he goes.

The prices of inns, stations, and pavilions are several times more expensive than in other places.

However, Li can also understand that these inns, stations and pavilions have a large number of guards to maintain public security, and it is normal for supplying the current urgently in need of vegetables, fresh fish and wine, which are more expensive than private stores.

In short, Li, who thought this would be a difficult journey, came to Tokyo from Zibo without any danger.

After walking along the way and seeing it all the way, Li family had a vague idea: it seemed like a good thing to sit in the world with the King of Liaodong.

Li, who often discusses people's livelihood with her husband, knows very well how suffering the people in Shandong, Hebei and other places have been in recent years.

I won’t talk about the two years since the Jin people headed south, and the people in both places almost lived in hell.

Even in the past few years before the Jin people went south, the people in the two places were suffering. There were chaos and bandits everywhere, and people starved to death everywhere. In many areas, there were even cases of Yi Zi eating, and everyone had no hope.

Along the way, Li observed:

Although there was still some delicacy on the faces of the people, there were no one starving to death on the road, and there were no riots and bandits.

There are points of assistance everywhere.

There are free medical points near each inn to see the people, and even medicinal materials are given for free.

Moreover, there are paid recruitment everywhere, and roads are being built, rivers are being built, inns, schools are being built, medical clinics are being built, money houses are being built, and various infrastructures are being built. As long as you are not lazy, an adult man can get one dou of food and two cents of money for one day of work, which is enough for a family of five to eat for two or three days. Even women and children can also do some work that does not require a lot of effort. If you do a day of work, you can get half a dou of food and one cent of money. It can be said that all the people have a way out.

How could Li, who is well-read in poetry and books, not understand that the Dazhong court is engaged in labor-for-relief?

Seeing the people regain their vitality bit by bit, maybe living a peaceful life, listening to the praises of the new emperor and the new court, Li, who had always been loyal to Zhao Song, couldn't help but be shaken. He kept asking himself: "Will the Zhao family restore the throne be better than Dazhong?"

This question has bothered Li and has no answer yet.

The convoy entered Tokyo and walked forward for a while. A posthouse suddenly appeared in front.

A long way away, a postman shouted loudly: "Celebrity, go into the hall and have a rest. This is the last postman in front of Bianliang City. If you miss it, you can only rush to the end of the city tomorrow morning."

In early spring, although the weather has begun to warm, I can still freeze to death at night.

Besides, Li was not in a hurry to rush to the road. She even planned to visit relatives in Bianliang City, stay with her for a few days, and then head south.

So, when he heard the call of the postman, Li rushed to the errand runner sitting on the shaft of the car and ordered: "Shunzi, go and notify me, we will rest in the postman tonight."

The servant named "Shunzi" responded to the promise after hearing the orders of the master's family, and then notified the carriage driver one by one, and then led the convoy to the inn...
