"Mount Hua will prosper!"
Everyone who read the magazine sighed. If it was someone else, they would naturally scoff at it. However, after the success of the Mo Family Village, no one doubted Meton's ability.
On the four-wheeled carriage, Princess Changle looked at the report in the magazine and smiled, "After husband helped Mount Hua design the Sky Plank Road, there will be countless people waiting for husband's arrival."
This time, Meton was in the limelight. Some famous mountains and historical sites would be overjoyed when they heard of Meton's arrival. After all, even if Meton didn't have the ability to turn stone into gold, his fame would have a great impact on the local area.
Meton couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's not certain about the next stop."
"Why is that?" Princess Changle was puzzled.
Meton explained, "Because our next stop is Fenglingdu. In the future, if the Mo Family wants to build a bridge across the Yellow River, I'm afraid Fenglingdu will be the first choice."
Fenglingdu was the bend of the Yellow River. It was the largest ferry in Guanzhong. Moreover, the river was gentle and the river was narrow. Naturally, it was the best place to build a bridge. Once a bridge was built here, the boatmen on both sides of the river would definitely hate Meton.
Princess Changle rolled her eyes at Meton and said, "Who told you to boast in front of Imperial Father?"
When the couple arrived at Fenglingdu, they couldn't help but be shocked by the busy scene in front of them. The entire Fenglingdu ferry was filled with goods. There were probably no less than 100,000 people relying on this ferry for survival.
Princess Changle couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Husband, do you still want to build the bridge here?"
It could be imagined that if a bridge was built here in the future, although countless people would benefit, the boatmen in front of them would definitely lose their livelihood.
Meton took a deep breath and said, "Of course, but I decided to build it at the end. I suddenly found that the junction of the North Brick Road and the Yellow River in Xingyang is more suitable. That place is the central plains of the Tang dynasty. The traffic there is more convenient. Although the river is wide, the water flow is very slow. The success rate of building a bridge is higher, and it has more traffic value."
Princess Changle could not help but laugh when she heard Meton's words. This was the husband she loved, not a cold politician.
The husband and wife did not disturb the others. After quietly touring Fenglingdu, they did not continue to head east. Instead, they took a boat to cross Fenglingdu and arrived at another scenic spot not far away — Sparrow Stork Tower.
The Stork House was located on the east bank of the Yellow River, less than fifty miles away from Fenglingdu. It was built by the Northern Zhou Dynasty's Yuwen Hu for his mother.
"This concubine …"
The Sparrow Stork Tower had six floors, but it was twenty feet tall. Princess Changle had just experienced the pain of touring Mount Hua. She could not help but cower when she saw such a high floor.
"Climb up and look into the distance. Only the top floor is the most beautiful scenery." Under Meton's persuasion, Princess Changle gathered her courage and climbed to the top floor in one go.
"How spectacular!" Princess Changle gazed at the setting sun, which was about to set behind the mountains. Reflected in the vast waters of the Yellow River, the scale-like waves surged like the ocean. This magnificent scene caused one to be unable to help but feel relaxed and happy.
Meton saw that Princess Changle was in a good mood. He could not help but recite in her ear, "The sun is at the end of the mountain, the Yellow River flows into the sea. Desiring for a thousand miles, I want to reach a higher level."
Immediately, Princess Changle's eyes exploded with extraordinary splendor. Her gaze was like waves as she gazed at her husband. With such a beautiful scene and a peerless poem, Princess Changle felt that her husband was the same. What more could a woman ask for?
Only after the husband and wife had left did the crowd see Moton's poem. Only then did they know that Moton and Princess Changle had come to visit the Stork Tavern. In an instant, all of Puzhou was in an uproar. Everyone vied with each other to spread Moton's poem, Ascending the Stork Tavern.
"… Desiring for a thousand miles, I want to reach a higher level. This is truly a peerless poem. From now on, the Stork House will become a famous house in China. "The Puxian County Magistrate could not contain his excitement.
"I've heard that Mo Jiazi once humbled himself and said that his achievements were only because he was standing on the shoulders of his ancestors. I'm afraid that this poem is the only one that fits Mo Jiazi's breadth of mind." A scholar sighed.
The Puxian County Magistrate nodded his head and immediately ordered for Mo Jiazi's calligraphy to be hung in the Stork House for everyone to admire.
Although the Stork House was somewhat famous, it did not have much of an advantage compared to the other houses. But now, with the support of this legendary poem, the Stork House's fame instantly soared.
In a short period of time, the Stork House was filled with tourists. Everyone fought to see Meton's poem and the famous sights of the Stork House.
If it was said that Meton's design of Mount Hua's Vast Sky Plank Road was just a coincidence, then now that the Stork House had become famous with this poem, no one doubted Mo Jiazi's ability to turn stone into gold. Many famous buildings were looking forward to seeing Meton. However, Meton did not stay for long. Instead, he headed east and headed straight for Luoyang.
At the same time, this poem spread to Great Tang at the fastest speed possible. Everywhere it went, there wasn't a single person who didn't relish in it. Almost everyone was envious of the talent of the Mo Family and the romance of their honeymoon.
When this poem was spread to Chang 'an, almost everyone praised it. In the Imperial Palace, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun sat side by side. In front of them was Meton and Princess Changle's latest whereabouts and this poem.
After the county magistrate of Pu County found out that Meton and Princess Changle were visiting the Rosefinch House, he naturally rushed to report it to the Imperial Palace. At the same time, he also made an impression in front of Li Shimin.
"This brat causes trouble wherever he goes. He's always causing trouble!" Li Shimin was not only jealous but also envious.
Empress Zhangsun smiled and said, "They are newlyweds. Why are you so anxious? Speaking of which, we haven't left the Imperial Palace for a while. "
Li Shimin nodded. Two years ago, they were planning to go to Jiuhua Palace to avoid the summer. However, Meton invented saltpeter to make ice and a swimming pool. Under the novelty, Li Shimin canceled the trip and spent the summer in comfort.
The next year, they encountered the Western Expedition to Tuyuhun. Li Shimin was not in the mood to go on vacation. He had been dealing with military affairs in the Imperial Court. Li Shimin did not leave the Imperial Palace for two whole years.
"Why don't we go to Jiuhua Palace to avoid the summer heat this summer? Just the two of us?" Li Shimin had an idea.
Empress Zhangsun was immediately moved. She could not help but throw herself into Li Shimin's arms. The couple was happy and harmonious.
In fact, it was not just Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun. Who in the entire Tang Dynasty did not envy Meton and Princess Changle's honeymoon? The sweetness between husband and wife, the curiosity of famous mountains and rivers, and the popular poem. Before the two of them arrived in Luoyang, the entire Luoyang City was abuzz with the news that Mo Jiazi and Princess Changle were about to arrive in Luoyang.
