A piece of news killed the loyal and brave man who was born and died for the Great Xia Imperial Court last year, which greatly damaged the authority of the Great Xia Imperial Court, but Pan Long was not happy.

On the contrary, he had some melancholy.

The result of this matter was not in his opinion.

"I can't help it! I want everything to go well, how can it be! The result is good in my favor......

He sighed and came to the ferry outside the town.

At this moment, the town where he is located is called Longxiedu, and the location is about 100 miles below the Tiannu Gorge of the Tongtian River.

The water of the Tongtian River flows from the Tiannu Gorge, and as the river becomes more open, the water potential continues to ease. Coupled with the good topography of this place, a large-scale ferry port was built.

Normally, the civilian ships sailing along the Tongtian River start from here, go down the river, all the way through the prefectures and counties, and finally enter the sea at Longwei Beach in Yangzhou and enter the East China Sea.

Pan Long's plan for this trip was to take a boat east to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is the most prosperous place in Kyushu in the world, even in the Warring States Period, it has not experienced much war. Pan Long has mostly lived in remote and poor places in recent years, and even slept in the barren mountains and mountains like a wild man, it is time to see the prosperity of the world.

Yongzhou is almost the poorest place in Kyushu, he has seen it.

Yizhou was almost the weakest place in the Great Xia Dynasty's rule, and he had seen it.

Now, it's time to see the most prosperous place of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Only by comparing the situation everywhere can we judge what the current state of the Great Xia Dynasty is, and only then can we find the real fatal point of this behemoth.

...... If it exists.

According to the plan, Pan Long will arrive in Yangzhou by boat, take a good look at the world of flowers in Yangzhou, and then find a high mountain to absorb Gang Qi to cultivate, and in the process of cultivation, he will return to the red dust from time to time to take a walk.

In this way, we can go further.

He had been waiting for about half a month at Longxiedu, but the ferry had not yet departed.

Go down the Tongtian River to the east, all the way to Yangzhou, all the way to more than 10,000 trips. Reefs, bandits, demons...... Ordinary ships can't bear it, and ordinary boatmen can't bear these dangers. Only elite sailors led by masters, piloting those specially reinforced ships, can do this.

Of course, such flights will not be available at all times, according to the rules, about one a month, ten a year.

During the spring and autumn flood seasons, the big ships do not depart.

The water of the Tongtian River flows very fast, especially during the flood season, when the river water is surging and roaring, like a tiger descending from a mountain. Many poets of the past dynasties have written poems and lamented that there are allusions to "a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day" and "Shuo boarded the boat, looked into the sea, and drove the fog and clouds".

In that case, if you don't want to die and are in a hurry, you can take a small boat to challenge, but a big ship will never sail.

If you want to take a big boat in the flood season, you can go down the river for more than 200 miles, and wait until you reach the place of "returning the pearl crossing", and there are big boats moored at any time throughout the year.

It is also a famous scenic spot on the Tongtian River, and there are several allusions that have been praised through the ages. If Han Feng also walked with Pan Long, he would definitely get off the boat and go ashore at that time, take a look at the ink treasures left by the poets of the past dynasties, and sigh well.

But Pan Long himself doesn't have these leisure and elegance, he can at most bring back some delicacies from all over the world, such as the Yangzhou raw thin-cut fish fillet that Han Feng never forgot at the beginning, buy some when the time comes, seal it in the magic weapon, and bring it back to him to taste fresh and open his eyes.

After a few more days of waiting, the big ship finally arrived.

The cabins on this ship are of the third class, and the cabins of the first class are two, and it is open and has an excellent view, which is enough to accommodate more than a dozen people. There is also a formation running in the cabin, not only is there no bumps, but it is also warm in winter and cool in summer. In addition, the servants and maids who are always waiting for orders are really at home, and going out is no less than the enjoyment of home.

Such a cabin is naturally exclusive to high-ranking officials and nobles, and if you don't have a high enough status, you can't book it even if you have money. Even if it is empty and unoccupied, it will not let cats and dogs live in it.

The second and third classes are much simpler, as long as they cost money.

Of course, there is a world of difference in treatment.

Pan Long spent a lot of money and booked a medium cabin. The room is about the same as an ordinary inn, with neat beds and complete tables and chairs.

There's a pretty big bed with a foldable cot on top. With both beds, it can sleep three people, and if you squeeze it, four people may be fine. When eating, it can be a table for four people.

There is also a small toilet in the room where the toilet is changed every morning. It's just that I have to go to the common bathroom for a shower, and the time is also pre-arranged, which is a little inconvenient.

Sitting at the table and opening the window, the height is just on the deck, and you can enjoy the scenery on both sides of the strait, which is very comfortable.

The lower class cabin is very poor, with a small space, eight people in a room, a table and no chairs, and a toilet. When Pan Long booked a room, he once asked about the situation of the lower class. The ticket clerk looked at his figure, shook his head, and said, "With the size of the guest officer, the bed in the lower class, you have to curl up to sleep." ”

This completely dispelled Pan Long's idea of saving money or experiencing life, so he obediently took out a large amount of money and booked a medium cabin.

But calculating the price, if he trekked all the way to Yangzhou on two legs, the carriages and horses on this road to eat and live were not a small amount, and it may not be cheaper than the middle cabin.

On the day of boarding, Pan Long got on the ship with a small baggage, and after opening the door according to the bill, he saw that the window was bright and clean, and the cabin was very tidy.

He nodded in satisfaction, put down his luggage, and returned to the deck, where he sat at the bow of the ship and watched the excitement.

A short time later, a first-class passenger arrived. The travelers of this large family were about twenty-five or sixteen, with two ladies and a child, and seven or eight servants. The most surprising thing is that he has a lot of luggage, and there is an endless stream of boxes on the ship. Pan Long's eyes widened when he saw it.

Do you need so much luggage just to go out?

Moreover, some of the chests were quite heavy, could it be gold and silver treasures?

What is the purpose of going out with so much gold and silver treasure?

The Great Xia Dynasty had a lot of money bank ticket numbers, and it was not much more convenient to store money as silver tickets and carry them around?

Although there is a handling fee of varying amounts to be paid when the silver ticket is redeemed, at least it is more convenient and safe than traveling long distances with thousands of family assets!

He was wondering here, when a tall and strong man came over and said a little unceremoniously: "Friend, we don't want to do a business without capital on this ship!"

Pan Long was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Why do you think so?"

"If it's not a person in the green forest, who will estimate the weight of other people's boxes one by one?"

Pan Long was a little embarrassed and explained: "I just haven't seen anyone go out with so much luggage......"

Dahan obviously didn't believe him at all, frowned and said: "The person who came is a guest, since you bought a ferry ticket, you are a guest of our Dajianglian." No matter what business you did before, as long as you have rules on this ship, then nothing else has anything to do with us. But I want to remind you that we have been in this Tianjiang passenger transport business for nearly 100 years, and although there have been cases where ships have been attacked by people, and even murdered and overhauled goods, we have never let a murderer escape!"

"On this ship, there are six innate masters at any time. When necessary, we can even ask a few real grandmasters along the way to help. The attack on our ship is more than worth the loss. ”

He turned to leave, not arguing with Pan Long about whether he was a robber or not.

Pan Long shook his head and sighed.

He really didn't expect that he would be regarded as a robber by others.
