I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 121
Water transportation was well developed in the Jin Dynasty, and people from Beijing to Huainan generally took the water route.

Fu Jinchuan and his party, 600 people from the two regiments of the forbidden army, as accompanying guards, dozens of Yuan Cong warriors, more than a hundred people from the Embroidery Guards and the Imperial City Division followed Zhao Yuanshu to the south, plus the maids and servants of the Princess Mansion, the entire team Nearly a thousand people.

So many people, plus the materials needed to go south, plus more than a hundred military horses, including [-] catties of grain per person, and some ordnance sent from Shangjing to Yangzhou.

In addition to Fu Jinchuan and Zhao Yuanshu's official ship, which was rumored to be an official ship made by the late emperor, the whole team also had [-] water transport ships that could carry a thousand stones.

After saying goodbye to friends, ex-partners, and relatives who came to say goodbye, a group of people boarded a boat and set off, heading straight for Bianzhou.

Wearing a black cloak, a brown cloud-patterned round-neck gown, and a Futou, Fu Jinchuan stood on the top floor of the building boat, looking at the wide water surface in silence.

Behind him, Cui Fangyi was chatting with several recommended young scholars.

Xu Yinglong from Shangjing, Wang Luqiu from Xiangzhou, Zhang Gao from Jizhou, Li Fazhen from the Li family in Longxi, Guo Chang from the Guo family in Jinyang, Cui Shuji and Cui Fengyi from the Qinghe Cui family like Cui Fangyi.

Among them, Xu Yinglong is the grandson of the old grand master, and was also recommended by Zhou Dajiu, and he has known Fu Jinchuan for a long time.

Wang Luqiu and Zhang Gao contributed articles to the Duke's Mansion, and were selected by Liu Xianke.

And Li Fazhen, Guo Chang, Cui Shuji, and Cui Fengyi brothers are all from aristocratic families, and they want their children to follow Fu Jinchuan's experience.

And these candidates were also decided by Fu Maoxiu after several examinations.And there are dozens of descendants of the aristocratic families who were declined.

Those who passed Fu Maoxiu's examination were all genuine.

It's just that Cui Fangyi is the one who is suitable to do some general affairs. In the end, it is up to Cui Fangyi to find out more about it before making arrangements. He is the chief minister of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

"The prosperity of Shangjing is all due to the leisurely Luoshui." Xu Yinglong looked at Luoshui and couldn't help sighing.

Zhang Gao, a native of Jizhou, asked, "Brother Xu, do you mean water transportation?"

Xu Yinglong nodded and said: "It's water transportation. Shangjing is located in the middle of the world, and the money is stored and stored for millet. It has been enriched over the years, but it depends on water transportation, and it spreads day and night... The vacancies in Xijing's government treasury and warehouses are all borrowed from Shangjing. Straight. Every year millions of shi of grain are transported to Shangjing via the Jianghuai River, and then transported from Shangjing to Xijing and Hebei Road and other places. Therefore, Shangjing is a collection of boats and ships in the world. There are often more than [-] ships, filling the river roads, and carrying goods for business travel. Yi, filled with chariots and horses. There is an endless stream, and the Luo River is connected to the Bian River. If there is no Luo River, there will be no such water transport, and Emperor Xuanzong would not move his capital from Guanzhong to Beijing.”

Zhang Gao said: "It turns out that I was born in the frontier fortress since I was a child, but I know very little about the scenery of Shangjing. Thank you brother Xu for teaching me."

"Don't dare to be taught, brother Zhang is too polite."

Fu Jinchuan listened to a few staff members talking, and returned to the uppermost ship cabin without interjecting. Zhao Yuanshu was sitting by the window of the building ship looking at the scenery on both sides.

"A thousand households in Xiuyiwei, four hundred households, and forty Tiqi, plus the manpower of the Imperial City Division, are they all for the purpose of finding out the old case that Brother Tan mentioned?"

When Zhao Yuanshu heard Fu Jinchuan's question, he naturally wouldn't hide it: "That old case is indeed a bit unbelievable. Although all signs point to the salt merchants in Yangzhou, both I and Brother Tan think it's a bit strange. This time, I happened to check it out on the way, and Fang Ya was the one who caught the Red Lotus Dao leader, and he revealed that the Red Lotus Dao's lair was in the Jianghuai generation."

Fu Jinchuan said: "It would be a good thing if we can find out the lair of Honglian Road. These people have been making trouble for more than a hundred years, and they have never been troubled."

"Okay, I know you're impatient with these things, so naturally I'm the one to worry about them, and you just take care of your Yangzhou Governor's Mansion."

“That would be great”

Zhao Yuanshu rolled his eyes at him, but said nothing.

After Fu Jinchuan set off here, Shangjing was still extremely lively.Prince Yan's son Wu Yaoshi and Princess Heyang are about to get married, and after that, in mid-June, there will be a marriage between King Yong's eldest grandson Zhao Fubai and the British princess.

And the king of Qi, Zhao Yuanzhang, who had just opened his mansion, hosted a banquet at home for Brother Liuzhi and his party, which is also regarded as practicing wine.Because the Golden Tent Mission is about to return north.

"Come on, His Highness Bo Jilie, this cup of wine is toasted to you, and I wish the Central Plains and the Northern Territory no more wars and be friends with each other."

"Thank you His Royal Highness Qi, do it."

The King of Qi, Zhao Yuanzhang, who practiced martial arts since he was a child, is extremely brave. Quite satisfied.

And Zhao Yuanzhang saw the long-awaited No. [-] beauty in the north, and felt that Fu Sanlang was really real, he never told lies, he really lived up to his name, and he was as beautiful as a fairy.

During the spring hunting, Zhao Yuanzhang also saw Jia Luo's riding and shooting skills on the hunting ground, and he liked it very much.

The two are currently newly married, and they can be regarded as having an adulterous relationship.
"I'm going back to the northern border in a few days, and Jia Luo will entrust His Royal Highness King Qi from now on."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanzhang immediately patted his chest and said, "Your Highness Bo Jilie, please put it down. Jia Luo is my wife, and she will become one with me in the future. Who dares to bully her?"

After listening to Zhao Yuanzhang's words, Brother Liuzhi said with a smile: "King Qi has a heroic spirit, just like our men from the north."

Zhao Yuanzhao said: "Your Highness is not His Highness? According to what we say in the Central Plains, you and I are relatives now, relatives of Uncle Lang. You can call me Yuanzhang, and I will ask you to keep a brother?"

Brother Liu Zhi said: "Well, with Yuan Li's words, I don't have to worry about Jia Luo being wronged again in Shangjing."

"Aggrieved again? Could it be that something happened before?"

When Zhao Yuanzhang asked such a question, Brother Liu Zhi sighed, and Jia Luo's face was also a little sad.

Then brother Liuzhi talked about the matter with Fu Jinchuan outside the city.

"That day, I was also careless in waiting."

Brother Liuzhi didn't feel wronged for his three companions, after all, it was Beijing who killed someone first, and the reaction of the capital on this matter, Brother Liuzhi and others were naturally very clear.

And he emphasized the details that no one else knew that day. For example, Fu Jinchuan said to Jia Luo: "Your father is my defeated general, so why are you showing off your power in front of me?" I didn't add oil and vinegar, but just picked something to say.
When Zhao Yuanzhang heard this, he stood up abruptly, "This Fu Sanlang is so rude, I am really angry."

In fact, more than half of Zhao Yuanzhang's appearance is just pretending.Even if he likes Jia Luo, he is also the prince and prince of the Jin Dynasty, and what Fu Jinchuan said is the truth. His father-in-law's title of "Weeping Prince" was given by Fu Jinchuan himself.

But in front of his wife and brother-in-law, he can't act like a normal person, he has to get up and scold a few words, otherwise there is no way to explain it, it seems that he and his wife are not of the same heart
"...It's too much, how can you be so rude? That is to say, he went to Yangzhou to take office today, otherwise we have to go to him to settle accounts."

Brother Liuzhi said: "Yuan Li, you are not so angry. After all, you and Jia Luo were not married at that time, so Wu Anhou will not be like this in the future."

After the banquet, Jia Luo proposed to give Brother Liu Zhi away, and Zhao Yuanzhang readily agreed.After all, it's someone's natal family, so they may never see each other in this lifetime.

"I might have been too impatient just now." Brother Liu Zhi said to Michua, the Deputy Envoy who was traveling with him, in the northern language after walking out the door.

Mi Chua, who was walking with Brother Liuzhi, nodded, "Why is Zhao Yuanzhang the prince of Jin, and he has known Fu Sanlang since childhood? If he wants to use this line to provoke Zhao Yuanzhang to turn against the prince, he must rely on the princess. As the saying goes, water drops through stone. This is not something that can be done in a day or two."

Several people walked outside the Yi Gate of Prince Qi's Mansion, Brother Liu Zhi turned to look at his cousin Jia Luodao.

"I'm going to leave Jia Luo. Those shepherds and maids will be given to you, and the guards will leave you with fifty good men. If there are too many people, Jin people will not agree. You have to take good care of yourself here. This is not a grassland. , we can't help you if there is anything wrong with you."

Jia Luo's eyes were a little red when he heard his cousin's words, and then he smiled and said: "I'm not wronged, the Central Plains is actually very good, with rich products, and life is much better than that of the grasslands. Go back and tell Uncle and Father that I am a descendant of Canglang. ,Always will be."

Although the two of them are cousins, they have the same relationship as brothers and sisters. Even though their father thought that the competition for the reserve position made the entire royal court and nobles from Shulu's family stand in two rows, the two of them relationship has not been affected.

"Okay, I'll take the word with me."

Brother Liu Zhi nodded after hearing this, then faced Jia Luo, took a deep breath and patted his right hand on his left chest.

"Golden roof tent, Longshan stands proudly!"

When Jia Luo heard this familiar Northern Territory language, his eyes instantly turned redder, and he imitated Brother Liu and did the same.

"The descendants of the wolf, don't be afraid of the strong wind!"

"treasure."

Then Jia Luo watched the cousin and the clansmen leave, she didn't know if she would see them again, and she didn't know if she would still see the grassland that haunted her dreams.

But she is the daughter of the golden family, a descendant of the wolf, and she wants to stay here.

It could be years, it could be a lifetime.
