Chapter 616 Floating life steals half a day
Time passed by minute by minute.
Most of the day is fleeting.
The sky is also gradually dimming down.
Ying Yu and Sophie are still playing in Xianyang City.
Playing for most of the day made Sophie even more shocked and excited.
Whether it is the newspaper that can quickly convey the news, or the delicious fresh tofu, or all kinds of novelties in Xianyang City, Sophie is full of praise, endless aftertaste, and lingering.
These things, for Sophie who lived in Rome since she was a child, were unheard of and unseen.
Moreover, through conversations with some people in Xianyang City, Sophie learned that almost all the novelties and delicious food in Xianyang City are related to Ying Yu.
Although the sky is getting darker at this moment, the lights in Xianyang city are still brightly lit, the streets are still full of traffic, and the bustle remains undiminished.
From this point of view, the law and order of Xianyang City is also very reassuring. This is enough to prove that under Ying Yu's management, Xianyang City has still become a very prosperous city, where the people are healthy and happy.
In Sophie's eyes, such Xianyang City is simply a paradise on earth.
But what surprised Sophie the most was the reaction of the people in Xianyang City after seeing Ying Yu.
There are not a few people in Xianyang City who know Ying Yu. After seeing Ying Yu, they all greeted him with smiles, took the initiative to talk to Ying Yu, and even took out food or new gadgets for Ying Yu.
It feels like a friend you haven't seen for a long time.
You must know that Ying Yu's identity is the Prince of Qin, the future emperor, and the common people are not afraid after seeing him, which makes Sophie feel very incredible.
Seeing the admiration and awe in the eyes of those people, Sophie felt her world view was greatly shocked. She never thought that the king could be like this and be so approachable.
Compared with Ying Yu, those nobles in Rome are simply a world apart.
After all, the lives of the common people in Rome were difficult, but the nobles were extravagant and dissipated. Whenever there were nobles on the street, the common people would avoid them.
Not only that, under the corrupt and backward rule of the Roman nobles, the capital of Rome and even the whole of Rome gradually declined, and the original scenery of Rome had long since ceased to exist.
From Sophie's point of view, if the ruler of Rome had one ten-thousandth of Ying Yu's talent, if he had one ten-thousandth of Ying Yu's virtuousness, Rome, once the most powerful country in the Western Regions, would not have come to where it is today. kind of situation.
Thinking of this, Sophie couldn't help feeling a little sad, and couldn't help but sighed slightly.
"Okay, why are you sighing?"
Ying Yu asked with some doubts.
"It's nothing."
"Just seeing the prosperous scene of Xianyang City, I can't help but think of the capital of Rome. Compared with Xianyang City, the capital of Rome is really too backward."
"Although I have married His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Rome is my hometown after all, so I cannot help feeling a little bit emotional."
Sophie shook her head, indicating that she was fine and Ying Yu didn't need to worry.
"Although Rome is now in decline and has lost its former glory, I believe that everything in Rome will get better in a short time."
"With the help of Great Qin, Rome will soon prosper."
What Sophie said made Ying Yu smile lightly, looking in the direction of Rome, and said slowly.
As soon as Ying Yu said this, Sophie was slightly taken aback, and then she came to her senses.
As Scipio's daughter and a political official in Rome, Sophie could understand what Ying Yu said.
Although Rome is now married to Great Qin, Sophie understands in her heart that Great Qin's goal is not only the Eastern Continent, but also the Western Regions, and even the whole world.
Sophie also understands that it is not only Yingzheng's goal, but also Yingyu's goal for Daqin to dominate the world.
And if Daqin wanted to achieve this goal, Rome would naturally not be able to escape.
But for today's Sophie, although Rome is her hometown, she doesn't want to see Rome fall.
According to the current development trend, with Rome's current economic and military strength, Rome will disappear in the long river of history sooner or later.
What's more, now that Sophie is Ying Yu's concubine, she has already completely regarded herself as a Daqin person, and she has long since let go of Rome's future.
And in Sophie's view, only by relying on Great Qin can the people of Rome live a good life, and Rome can have a prosperous day.
"It's getting late."
"Sophie, do you want to go back to the palace or live here in Xianyang City.
As the handover moonlight fell on Xianyang City, Ying Yu looked at Sophie and asked.
"It's rare to come out once, why don't you go back tonight, how about staying in Xianyang City?"
Sophie thought for a while, and asked expectantly.
"Alright, I will take you out of the city tomorrow to visit the nearby counties."
Ying Yu nodded slightly when he heard the words, and then the two wandered around for a while before finding an inn to stay.
......
The next morning.
The red sun emitting crimson light hangs high in the sky.
At this time, Ying Yu had already left Xianyang City with Sophie in a steam car.
The warm sun shone on his body, making people feel very comfortable. Ying Yu drove the steam car all the way to the south of Xianyang City.
The appearance of steam cars has greatly changed the way and speed of people's travel.
However, after more than an hour, Ying Yu carried Sophie to a village in the south of Xianyang City.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, this village used to be very backward and poor.
But because of the development of Xianyang City, Ying Yu's poverty alleviation policy, and a railway passing through the village, the village is now much more prosperous, and the villagers can live comfortably.
"Your Highness, why don't you just play in the front and then go back."
Before coming to this village, Sophie was very happy when she saw the flowers blooming everywhere in the village.
Although he didn't want to go back, he knew that Ying Yu still had a lot of things to do, and it was very rare to be able to take time to wander around with her.
"it is good."
Ying Yu nodded, parked the steam car at the entrance of the village, and the two walked into the village on foot.
It's just that the two of them hadn't gone far when they heard faint crying.
Following the sound of crying, Ying Yu soon saw an open space where dozens of corpses of Juyang were placed, and beside them were a few old farmers who kept wiping the tears overflowing from the corners of their eyes.
"Old man, what happened?"
"Why do so many of your sheep die? Looking at the wounds, they should be bitten to death by ferocious beasts."
