Chapter 115 Lower Yangzhou

Chapter 115 Lower Yangzhou

In fact, Sun Xiangfu was a villain in vain. In the early morning of the next day, Li Chunfeng and Xuanzang rushed to the pier, and they were not the only ones who came back.

"Master, why did you find three more monks?" Sun Xiangfu looked at the three monks who were carrying burdens and holding eyebrow sticks. Obviously, they were monks.

"The poor monk visited Shaolin Temple yesterday. When we were saying goodbye, the host master insisted on letting the three of them escort me to the sea. I couldn't postpone it, so I had to bring it."

"Uh, the three of them can't be called Wukong, Wuneng, and Wujing!" Sun Xiangfu said in a daze.

"No, no, these are the three masters Zihui, Zijing and Jueming. They are the most powerful martial monks in Shaolin Temple. With them, this trip should be much more secure."

Sun Xiangfu felt that Fu Huizhizi of Shaolin Temple knew his true nature, and he didn't understand such seniority, but when Xuanzang called them master, it meant that the seniority of the three of them was not low, so he immediately looked respectful, and invited them on board.

"Strong body, light footsteps, master wow! This journey should not be boring." Xi Junmai was full of fighting spirit, and whispered beside Sun Xiangfu, but was stopped by Sun Xiangfu with his eyes. On the boat, it is better not to It's good to call back and forth.

Then, I saw Li Chunfeng squeezing onto the boat with a few little Taoist priests carrying birdcages.

"Why did the Daoist take the time to raise birds?"

Although Sun Xiangfu said so, when he saw the pigeons in the cage, he narrowed his eyes. Could it be that there were already flying pigeons passing on letters in this period?
"Hehe, these pigeons are not Luoyang pigeons. They were raised by several avenue temples along the canal. They were supposed to be sent to Sanqing Temple in Chang'an, but they were taken by the poor Taoist priest. With these pigeons here, we can let them go in advance. The Taoist temple is ready to receive the supply."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu knew that the Flying Pigeon Passing Letter hadn't really taken shape at this time, it was just because the ancients discovered that the pigeon misses home, and no matter how far it was taken, it would fly back. The method by which it is transported from its place of birth to another uses it as a means of passing information one way.

With these pigeons, Li Chunfeng can use them to send a message to the Taoist temple that originally raised these pigeons along the canal, or to mobilize supplies for support, or to investigate the situation to prevent problems before they happen.

"Hehe, with the help of masters and Taoist priests, why worry about the failure of the trip to the South China Sea." Sun Xiangfu said with a smile in a good mood.

"Master Sun did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to introduce grain seeds to the people of the Central Plains. It is really a great merit. We should do our best to help."

On the way to Luoyang, Sun Xiangfu had already told everyone why he went to Jiaozhi. At the same time, he also told everyone a lot about the benefits of introducing Champa Rice. Unexpectedly, he was seen by these two people. It has become a great feat of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. Now, I am afraid that they all want to contribute a little bit during this trip to the south, accumulate some merit, and earn some benefits for their religion.After all, if Champa rice is really as good as Sun Xiangfu said, then the trip to pick the seeds will definitely be featured in the history books.

"My lord, everyone is here, can we sail?" Zhao Long asked, but Sun Xiangfu shook his head.

Within a quarter of an hour, as expected, several carriages arrived at the bow of the boat, and it was Xue Muhua and others.

"My lord, after several discussions, I decided to cooperate with you."

"Well, it's not in vain. I'll wait for you here for half an hour. Here is a list. All the things listed in it will be prepared by your family within two months. In the end, your shares will be determined according to the proportion of your investment. Be careful to keep it secret. , In addition, come over with your ears..."

Sun Xiangfu and Xue Muhua whispered for a while, but it made Xue Muhua's old eyes shine. After listening, he bowed down and bowed down. When the "Happiness" went away, he straightened up and sighed secretly that his masters had made a clear decision. choose.

In fact, Sun Xiangfu's suggestion to them is very simple. Since the existing restaurant industry in their hands is no longer competitive, it is better to simply admit defeat to the family members, and while they are still struggling to maintain it, offer a good price to let the family The son dominated the restaurant industry in Luoyang.

Then they took the money from the restaurant and went to Chang'an to find the original team that built the Wangjiang Tower to make the items on the list. When the time came, all the accessories would be brought from Chang'an and the Wangjiang Tower would be erected. The aristocratic families who took over those old restaurants will suffer a lot.

During the whole process, the few of them just made an industrial replacement, and didn't spend much money. After the Wangjiang Tower opened, they could easily take back those industries with sluggish business at a low price. It will change its appearance and turn to the bottom end. After all, Wangjianglou has always been positioned in the high-end market, and with Datang's economic improvement, the bottom-end market has great potential and is not unprofitable.

While helping these people seek benefits, Sun Xiangfu was in a good mood to be able to cheat those aristocratic families. After the Happiness sailed through the waves, he placed food on the plywood and invited Xuanzang, Li Chunfeng, and their accompanying guests. People having breakfast together.

"The poor monk has long heard that there are fast horses that travel thousands of miles a day, but today he sees this fast boat that travels thousands of miles a day. It's really wonderful."

Looking at the mountains, forests and rice fields on both sides of the strait, Xuanzang praised.

Sun Xiangfu smiled slightly and did not make a sound. A real ship that travels thousands of miles a day must at least be equipped with a steam engine. The principle of this thing is very simple, but the materials for making it are hard to find. The origin of rubber is in South America!However, South America, the darling of heaven, and Datang are at both ends of the world, and Sun Xiangfu is not sure what civilization the Mayans are in at this time. in danger.

"Hey, there will be times when you ride the wind and waves, hang the clouds and sail straight to the sea."

Everyone didn't know what Sun Xiangfu was thinking at the moment, but felt that these two poems were very delicate, so they all looked at Sun Xiangfu, waiting for his next words.

"Uh, I had a feeling for a while, and I came across a couple of sentences, which haven't been written into a poem yet!"

Sun Xiangfu rubbed his nose in embarrassment. Li Bai's journey has several poems, which are poems he read in high school, and now he really can't remember them all.

"Hehe, just these two sentences fully demonstrate the ambitions in your heart!" Xuanzang said with a chuckle.

Li Chunfeng, who is equally profound in Confucianism, also nodded in agreement.

"The master is absurd. In fact, I originally only wanted to be a comfortable farmer, but I was helplessly involved in this troubled world. All my thoughts and concerns were just to make my life more stable." The plagiarized Sun Xiangfu said with some shame.

"Hehe, in this world, everyone wants to live in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. However, does Ultimate Bliss really exist? Perhaps, when people can have a heart that can endure suffering and torture, they will reach their own Land of Ultimate Bliss!"

Some things, the deeper you study, the more you can see through them. Xuanzang received a full precept and forced himself to resist all temptations in the world. What he cultivated was his own perseverance. When things are destroyed, this person should be happy!
Of course, there is also the possibility of being unhappy. The only people Sun Xiangfu has seen who can live happily in this world are fools, they have no will.

Li Chunfeng has always sneered at Xuanzang's arguments. Their Taoist pursuit is pure and natural, which is in line with the national policy of the Tang Dynasty in governing the people. The people can be obedient and live their own lives. Bliss, isn't it bliss for the people to live and work in peace and contentment?

"Sun Xiamu, let's not talk about these useless things, let's talk about the next itinerary! If there is any request, the poor Taoist can inform the fellow Taoists along the coast in advance to help." Li Chunfeng interrupted the conversation between Sun Xiangfu and Xuanzang talk.

"Uh, apart from a vegetable and fruit diet, there is actually nothing to prepare for. With our sailing speed, the next stop is to go ashore in Yangzhou!"

After Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, Li Chunfeng hurriedly asked the accompanying Taoist boy to find the pigeons from the Taoist temple in Yangzhou.

However, when Sun Xiangfu said this, he realized that he was about to go to Yangzhou, and Yangzhou was the place where the warrior Yu was demoted. He is now the actual second in command in Yangzhou. If his son Wu Yuanqing Would it be bad for me to know the news that I was passing through Yangzhou?
In a state of anxiety, Sun Xiangfu told Xi Junmai about his worries, but he didn't want Xi Junmai to ask, "Yangzhou, what a great place! I heard that the prostitutes there are famous all over the world, why don't we When the time comes, go to the brothel to see and see?"

"Uh, why is your head so long? I said Yangzhou might be dangerous." Sun Xiangfu fainted.

"Is it more dangerous than charging among armies?"

All right!I can't talk today, Sun Xiangfu really doesn't know what to say to Xi Junmai, a pervert who is more dangerous and more excited, so let's go to Zhao Long!

After a while, Sun Xiangfu saw Zhao Long who had eaten and was practicing calligraphy in his room. Sun Xiangfu once told him that as a general who can lead troops to fight big battles, he must be educated and bold. Military orders, counting food and salaries, counting the loss of weapons, etc., do not require cultural background. Therefore, after joining Xingfu Village and being able to learn these things, Zhao Long did not stop studying for a moment. At least he also has the title of lieutenant.

"Uh, my lord, as far as I know, Chang Shi is a civil servant and has no right to mobilize the Yangzhou army."

"You mean, unless the army comes to attack us, otherwise, we can go across Yangzhou?"

"Walk?" Zhao Long was surprised.

"It means not to care about any armed forces." Sun Xiangfu explained.

"Uh, I should be able to cross over!" Zhao Long nodded after understanding.

"In this way, I can rest assured." Sun Xiangfu left with a smile on his face.

Three days later, the Happiness arrived at the port outside the city of Yangzhou. After several days of boring sailing, everyone on board was bored. Except for Xuanzang and a few monks, everyone planned to live in the city for two days. No one in Yangzhou sent Sun Xiangfu to his house, so under the arrangement of Mu Lin Wenfu, the deputy in charge of the Yangzhou Branch of the Catering Supervision Department, everyone stayed in a fairly high-end inn in the city, while Li Chunfeng went to Yangzhou A Taoist temple in the city.

"There is good news, you must be very excited to hear it." After taking a hot bath in the inn and changing clothes, Xi Junmai went into Sun Xiangfu's guest room and said.

"what news?"

"The four big courtesans of Yangzhou Brothel have posted posts for you. I don't know which one you want to go to for a banquet tonight?" Xi Jun smiled cheaply, and raised the four pink famous posts in his hand.
