Country color

Chapter 559
Ji County, Linhe County.He County is located to the east of Liyang. Compared with the west bank of Yongji Canal, Liyang, Daming, etc. are more prosperous than the old places of Yecheng.The east coast seems to be a little more depressed here.

During the spring flood season, many Shandong men also took boats. Taking advantage of the stronger water in the Yellow River in spring, they drove their own boats to transport sea salt to the inland for sale.

At this time, the Lu salt in Shanxi and the sea salt in the Bohai Sea had not yet had time to transport the salt to Linhe and Liyang counties, as well as several large salt shops in prefectures and counties along the Yongji Canal were out of stock.

The men from Shandong who took the boat, although it was in Hebei at this time, the Tang and Zheng families were fighting upside down, but they still took advantage of the highest salt price to send salt to Linhe County to earn this hard money.

The wharf in Linhe County is full of sticks carrying salt bags, unloading the cargo from the ship and moving it to the cargo hold on the shore.

According to the rules, a bag of salt is worth one dollar, and the power sticks waiting on the pier are all locals.I have been working hard for a few days for a month so that my wife and children can eat. Seeing another boat docked on the shore, Zhonglibang couldn't help showing excitement, but after seeing that the draft of the boat was not deep, Everyone couldn't help showing a look of disappointment.

"Break away, disperse!"

All the powerful sticks walked away one after another, but their eyes never left. The boat was already docking, but there were two boatmen, one old and one young, standing at the bow and stern of the boat, and the curtain of the cabin was lifted, and a woman came out. .

The Li Bangs were all dumbfounded when they saw the woman, thinking how could there be such a beautiful woman beside the boat.

But the woman gave a jade pendant to the boatman and said: "I can't repay the grace of saving my life. Let's keep this jade pendant for now. If you are free some other day, you can come to Chang'an Pingyang Princess Mansion. You must be the guest of honor. If you have no time , then you can also pawn this jade pendant, it is worth ten pendants!"

"Ten Laiguan!" Father looked at Yupei in surprise.

"Princess Pingyang Mansion? Are you from the Princess Mansion?" the young man asked.

"There's no need to say anything now, I'll tell you when the time comes." The woman obviously didn't want to speak too clearly.

After speaking, the woman turned and left.

"Father, I have decided not to go fishing, I want to join the army!"

"What!" The old man hadn't recovered from receiving this valuable jade pendant.

The man shook his head, looked at the back of the beautiful woman leaving, and made up his mind.

This woman is Li Zhiwan, since Li Shimin set up an ambush to kill her, she fell into the Yellow River and rescued the boatman and his son.After experiencing the betrayal of her closest relatives, Li Zhiwan was thinking right now that she wanted to return to Chang'an and tell her father and brother about her undead.

This idea, when passing through the Yongji Canal, passed by Li Chongjiu's five-toothed warship, a little loosened.

Li Zhiwan couldn't help thinking, what would happen if Li Chongjiu heard the news of her death one day?Will it be sad, will it be sad, or now that she has a queen, a daughter, and a son, she has long since left herself behind.

Thinking of this, a tear rolled down Li Zhiwan's face.She doesn't shed tears easily, even when she first learned that Li Shimin was attacking her, Li Zhiwan didn't shed a single tear.Maybe Li Chongjiu still misses himself, otherwise he wouldn't send his confidants to protect him, but even if he misses it, he already has a queen.

Li Zhiwan is a very proud woman. She wanted to marry Li Chongjiu, even broke with Li Yuan, but she never thought of being Li Chongjiu's concubine.Even if Li Chongjiu became emperor later, he could have 72 concubines in the Sixth Court of Sangong.But Li Zhiwan also thought that she should submit to another woman and agreed to be a concubine.

The concept of Xianbei women is to be equal to their husbands, and even Li Zhiwan thinks that it is impossible for Li Chongjiu to accept concubines.If Li Zhiwan wanted to be like her aunt Dugu Queen, she would not allow Yang Jian to accept concubines.

Thinking of Li Zhiwan's slightly red eyes, maybe the moment Li Chongjiu made Yang Ehuang his queen, the woman he loves most is no longer him.

Li Zhiwan thought of this and decided to return to Chang'an instead of going to Li Yangdu to meet Li Chongjiu.She decided to return to Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiwan first went to a clothing store, changed into men's clothing, and tied her long hair on her head like a man.

At this time, the women who show their faces outside are all the women of the lower classes, and those who work outside to support themselves, there is no such thing as a boudoir.If every lady travels, she must bring a fence to prevent outsiders from peeping.Although Li Zhiwan had also received the teachings of the great Confucians of the Han family since she was a child, she still upheld the temperament of a Xianbei woman in her bones, she didn't hide her secrets, and never wore a fence when going out.

But not wearing a fence, although it is considered inappropriate by the orthodox concept of the Han people, and Li Zhiwan also thinks it is okay, but it is very rare in this era that women mainly walk alone.When every lady goes out, she has her own servants and servants to accompany her, and the mighty and mighty can tell her identity at a glance.

And Li Zhiwan was on the road alone, and she was not doing work, so she was easily regarded as a fugitive maidservant.

Having been to a pawn shop, Li Zhiwan pawned all the valuables before getting a few pennies in exchange, which is obviously not enough for money.When traveling in the past, when did Li Zhiwan worry about money?

Arriving at a restaurant, Li Zhiwan sat down and ordered a bowl of noodles.

The pasta was mutton noodles with some shallots sprinkled on top, but Li Zhiwan was tasteless at the moment.Inside the food shop, there are merchants traveling all over the world, and they are all talking about the latest news.

The most talked about is still about the battle between Tang and Zhao.

"Old Zhao, do you know? The Yongji Canal is full of Zhao Jun's warships. How do you think there are so many navy troops in Zhao Kingdom?"

"Hey, don't you know something about this? Zhao Jun's boats were all borrowed from a few big leaders and a big merchant like Lin Dangfeng. There are thousands of them. Or you said that every year when the spring starts At that time, where were all the merchant ships running on the Yongji Canal, and where did the broken ships of our brothers make money there."

"Hey, let's say that Zhao Guo will have no way to return the ship until this battle is over. We brothers can make another fortune."

"Isn't it?"

"But I said, don't be too greedy..."

The words are rambling, and the businessmen are chasing profit. Even if they are in such a big war, it does not prevent them from talking about their business experience.

Li Zhiwan was eating noodles quietly, but at this moment someone said: "Have you heard? After Li Tang's Princess Pingyang was killed in Luoyang, Emperor Li Tang in Chang'an ordered a funeral for her..."

When Li Zhiwan heard this, her chopsticks fell on the table. She stood up intently, and said to the businessman who was talking loudly behind her: "Brother, you said that Li Tang mourned Princess Pingyang, is this true?"

Seeing Li Zhiwan, the businessman asked: "It's not true. I heard that they were buried with military ceremonies. Yu Bao preached, Da Ren, Hui Zhu, Ban Jian, tigers and armor soldiers. Throughout the ages, there has never been a woman who enjoys this kind of life after death like him." It's beautiful."

Li Zhiwan couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing this.
