and can't secretly order other dragon boat teams to be polite, Wu Taishou is very troubled. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the next morning to the carefully selected family members, can only be gracious.

He first beat the bones of the beaten soldiers, saying that he could not disgrace the officers and soldiers, and then promised each of them an extra month's salary, asking them to step up their training so that the ship of the prince could win the championship.

To say that this Wuxi Taishou is as clean as a blank paper, his political performance is really good, and he governs the region in an orderly manner. The people are rich, naturally live and work in peace and contentment, such as the lantern festival of the Shangyuan Festival, the Dragon Boat Race in May, the Qixi Daughter's Festival and other folk activities, the local people are very enthusiastic.

A good opportunity for others to collect money, Wu Taishou can't be careful in his calculations, so as to ensure the balance of income and expenditure, thanks to being an upright official, being honest and honest, and worthy of being a parent official.

Wuzi felt sorry for the fifty taels of silver with white flowers, and Wu Taishou twisted the word "Sichuan" on his forehead.

was discussing things with his staff, but Xia Yuzhi sent two letters of silver to his subordinates, which weighed a hundred taels. The people who came were extremely polite, and the Tao was that the commander of Xia had something to say, and some private matters could not be used to support the money from the government, so as not to embarrass Wu Taishou, Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, and it is convenient for each of them.

Wu Taishou smiled happily. Even if he has no desire, he does not ask the nobles to do things, and he does not need to slap the horse in a low voice. What Xia Yuzhi said was reasonable, and Wu Taishou received the money openly.

took fifty taels and prepared to return them to his wife, and Wu Taifu took the rest of the silver to tailor it. In addition to buying dragon boats and sewing team uniforms, it was enough for the January military salary he promised.

As soon as the bookkeeper roughly settled the accounts, Wu Taishou was so happy that he stroked his long beard under his chin, revealing a comfortable smile.

Su Duhan will meet Xia Yuzhi in the past two days, and the two of them will set off on the fifth watch, and they will return in the middle of the night, and they will take the team of soldiers allocated by Wu Taishou into the water day and night, wanting to win the first place.

The soldiers knew the identity of the comer, and at first they were a little restrained, but when the frequency of the paddles was chaotic, it seemed a little scattered. Su Duhan's art of war is taught by his father's words and deeds, and he is well versed in the truth of leading soldiers to fight, knowing that traveling boats is the same as leading soldiers, and soldiers and generals need a run-in period, and they are extremely tolerant of successive failures.

Seeing that these two were both Lixian corporals, the soldiers became familiar with each other as soon as they came and went. Su Duhan shouted the trumpet, Xia Yu's drum was urged, and the oars that fell on the surface of the lake gradually became uniform, just like a person concentrating on his strength, naturally like divine help, the boat was like an arrow from Xuan, moving quickly.

The practice is hearty, but the morale is high. Seeing that the evening was falling, Xia Yuzhi instructed his subordinates to set up a barbecue rack on the edge of Taihu Lake, and ordered his entourage to buy fresh beef and mutton from the nearby market, and two jars of good wine, so he invited everyone to eat barbecue.

Eating meat in large pieces, drinking in large gulps, the moonlight is like water, and a group of people shout five and six, although they are full of pride, Su Duhan is quite unaccustomed.

And because he couldn't eat these fishy foods in filial piety, Su Duhan only ordered someone to roast a piece of steamed bun to wrap his belly, and after drinking two cups, he walked away under the pretext, and sat on the reef to get distracted, preparing to go back at night and have some supper.

Xia Yuzhi was shirtless, his hair was loosely tied behind his head with a ribbon, and he was chatting with a small school to cheer up, looking extremely hearty. The little school won a game, Xia Yuzhi didn't frown, picked up a big bowl and drank the wine in one gulp, which caused everyone to exhale and refresh.

However, after three or two days of hard work, Xia Yuzhi and this team of Wuxi soldiers actually intersected with each other, which was very eye-catching. Su Duhan couldn't imitate this kind of behavior, and he was afraid that Xia Yuzhi would be the leader, so he often asked the little guy to buy some thirst-quenching melons and fruits, and ordered the post station to send a pot of licorice and mung bean soup to relieve the heat every day, which made the morale of the soldiers even more high.

In the blink of an eye, it is the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and the annual grand scene has kicked off.

The colorful flags have been hung on the edge of Taihu Lake for a long time, and the colorful canopy of the official government is set up in the middle, followed by the colorful canopy of ordinary people on both sides, colorful and fluttering, squeezing the radius of more than ten miles.

The families of the government and large families are noble, and because of the inconvenience of the female dependents, these colorful sheds have already gathered those aunts and sisters-in-law, each calling friends and companions, and the seats are full.

There is a body of water in the lake, and there are also a few painted fangs, which were originally the homes of those merchants who sponsored this competition, and they can see more clearly with this convenience.

In addition, on Chaoyang Street, which is closest to Taihu Lake, the tea house restaurant on the street has long been booked, and the private room on the second floor is even full. The girls and ladies were more reserved, hiding behind the curtain fan of the window, and could only watch quietly, but the teenagers did not have to shy away, they crowded in front of the window to laugh and talk, betting on which dragon boat would win the championship this year.

Taihu Lake in May is sparkling and shimmering with a luster like broken gold. Nine beautiful dragon boats were parked in a row, and the dragons were tied with various colored silks, waiting for Wu Taishou and the squires to enter the water to put the finishing touch.

On the mahogany gold tray, the colored head taken out by Liang Kee Jewelry is placed in the center of the table, which is tightly covered by a red silk, just waiting for which team wins the championship, and the leader can lift the red silk with his own hands.

On the dragon boat, Su Duhan and Xia Yuzhi's team of white clothes and white pants, black boots, and black ribbons were tied around their waists, embroidered with bright red gold cloud patterns, which were particularly eye-catching.

Both of them were dressed in white suits, Xia Yuzhi tied up his long hair, more vigorous than usual, he stood in front of the gong and drum in front of the dragon boat, and turned back to Su Duhan and smiled.

As the leader of this dragon boat, Su Duhan sat in the position of the first oar, responding to Xia Yuzhi's smile, revealing a hesitant gaze.

Sailing is like fighting, it all depends on how the coach leads. Su Duhan had been running in with the whole team for two days, and he had a lot of confidence in these young men who were about the same age as him.

If he is driven, this team will not be able to win the championship, and he will not have to talk about it, coveting the rivers and mountains of Xixia, and talking about border cities and battlefields.

Su Duhan didn't even realize that he had already regarded every opportunity to fight for the length of the battle as a march, and set himself the goal of only winning and not losing.

Xia Yuzhi took pleasure in this, just to shorten the distance with him invisibly, and to use it as a pastime, but Su Duhan did not, but regarded this dragon boat race as a war without gunpowder.

This group of people are dressed luxuriously, especially the red gold embroidered belt is particularly eye-catching, and it is obviously different from those shirtless people on other dragon boats, wearing cardigans and shirtless people, and the two leaders are so powerful and high, which attracts the attention of more people.

The folk customs in Wuxi are simple, not as good as the men and women in the imperial city, the daughters of large families are reserved, and there are bold folk women on the shore who can't take their eyes off it, and quietly inquire where the young man came from in private.

Wu Taishou, who was moored at the dock and sitting in the official ship, and his officials were secretly sweating, these nobles were curious for a while, but they had to take on a lot of effort.
