The North-South Grand Canal, also known as Yuwang Yunhn to Lingnan, leads to the imperial capital in the north, runs through the richest southeast coast of the Great Xia Kingdom and the northern plain of Yueda, and is the main artery of the transportation and economy of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Linlang City, as the largest place of commerce and trade in the south of the Yangtze River, has received the greatest attention from the Dynasty, and when the river was modified for the second time, the Dynasty specially changed the main channel to Linlang City and became the first station in the south of the Yangtze River.

The imperial capital and his party, the city lord and his wife, were on a cargo ship that the Qu clan rebuilt in order to increase the volume of cargo. The hull is 37 zhang long and 15 zhang wide, with three floors up and down. The cockpit, crew rest cabin, and cargo hold are on the first and second floors, and the third floor, with a total of eight cabins, which are named Tiandi Xuanhuang and Purple Qi from the east.

Mo'er and Qu Tianlin, the husband and wife, naturally went to the Tianzi cabin, as Mo'er's personal maid Chen, she was arranged by Mo'er to live in the Xuanzi cabin on the left-hand side, and the one who lived in the Dizi cabin was Xuanlin, who pretended to be Qu Tianlin's personal guard, and Chunyi and Xia Ying were hidden with their secret guard leader Qingfeng to protect everyone's safety.

After three years, Xuan Lin, who pretended to be Qu Tianlin's personal guard, was in a particularly good mood, chattering all the way, and volunteered to introduce Mo'er to the itinerary all the way.

The only three audience members of the city lord and his wife, one was eating, the other was reading the pamphlet, and only Chenshuang, the most loyal audience, listened with relish.

Xuan Lin was originally a chatter, he had been holding back in Lin Pavilion for too long over the years, so even if only one of them was willing to listen to him now, he was very happy.

"Brother Jun, why is the North-South Grand Canal called Yuwang Canal again?" This is the first time that Chenshuang has gone far away, and she feels fresh and curious about the outside world.

Jun had no intention, it was Xuan Lin who pretended to be Qu Tianlin's guard.

When he was a teenager, in order to increase the sights of him and Qu Tianlin, his master, Mr. Hanshan, took the two of them with him and traveled all over the Daiyue Dynasty. Although it has always been Feng Lin who plays the role of the city lord, the one who is really the most similar to Qu Tianlin's habits is Xuan Lin, who has eaten and lived with him for the longest time. Therefore, on this trip to the imperial capital, Feng Lin stayed in the city lord's mansion to sit in the town, and instead asked Xuan Lin to accompany the city lord and his wife to the birthday banquet of General Weiyuan.

Xuan Lin pretended to clear his throat and began to show off again, "King Yu, he is the third Emperor of His Majesty Changzhi in our Great Xia Kingdom. Back then, our dynasty was not as prosperous as it is now. King Yu, who was also the eldest son of the emperor, proposed to dig a riverbed to connect the river from the imperial capital to the south of the Yangtze River into a waterway for transporting goods and materials. ”

King Yu's proposal was immediately supported by the ministers, and the reigning Emperor Longsheng issued an order to order King Yu to dig the riverbed. After King Yu was instructed, he personally led his soldiers to all parts of the dynasty and copied out the riverbed rivers that flowed through the main cities. Later, he put these riverbed channels together and drew a route for digging and diverting the river.

Reputedly.

It took King Yu 20 years to build the Grand Canal. In the past 20 years, he has passed through the palace three times but did not enter the door, and each time Princess Yu came to the dock in advance, waiting for a brief reunion with her husband. ”

Later, the North-South Grand Canal was built.

Four months later, the new waterway, which had been under construction for 20 years, was officially opened.

Goods from the south are transported to the north, and things from the north are transferred to the south. The passage of goods from the north to the south not only promoted the trade and trade of the imperial dynasty, but also invigorated the economic circulation of the towns along the river.

"The first generation of my city lord of Linlang City made his fortune because of this first batch of north-south trade and navigation, and finally created today's Linlang City." Although Xuanlin's primary duty is to stay by Qu Tianlin's side and protect his safety, Xuanlin must also know the Qu family's industry. "As for why the North-South Grand Canal is also called the Yuwang Grand Canal, it is naturally the achievements of the people in building the Grand Canal in order to thank Emperor Changzhi."

"Do you have a map of the waters of the North-South Grand Canal?" Mo'er, who had been looking at the booklet, suddenly raised her eyes and asked Xuanlin.

"Yes, yes." Suddenly there was an additional audience, and Xuan Lin was flattered.

After he was stunned for a moment, he pulled out his feet and carried the light gong, returned to the room as fast as he could, and then ran back as fast as he could. However, when he ran back, he still had a sand table in his hand. "Little sister-in-law, this is the water map from Linlang City to the imperial capital."

Mo'er gathered around the table, her eyes resting on the sand table—a map of the waters of the Grand Canal made to scale. Whether it's a riverbed waterway or a town along the way, you can see it at a glance.

Mo'er carefully looked at the waterways of the entire North-South Grand Canal, and after a long time, she asked Xuanlin, "How many days will this voyage reach the imperial capital?" How many times did you stop sailing on the way? ”

"This waterway trip took 45 days as fast as it and more than 60 days as slow. Our Qu's cargo ships are all improved, and they can generally store water and grain for more than twenty to thirty days, so we will stop sailing once on the way to buy water and food," Xuan Lin said, pulling out the soft sword around his waist and pointing to a certain place on the sand table, "It's in Luoyang City." ”

Luoyang City!

Mo'er stared at the place where the sword in Xuanlin's hand was pointing, and fell into deep thought: If the other party wants to make a move, this day is enough!

"It seems that after that, we and Momoka will meet again." She closed the pamphlet and asked Xuan Lin, "What's so fun in Luoyang City?" ”

"The mansion of King Yu when he was the prince was in Luoyang. When we get there, we can go to the front of Yuwang's Mansion for a stroll, and by the way, we can go to the drunken Xiangju of Babaofang on the adjacent street to eat sour duck with sauce board. Xuan Lin licked his lips and made a look of unfinished, "Their duck is crispy and sweet in taste, so you won't be willing to put down the chopsticks when you take a bite." ”

As soon as he heard the delicious, Qu Tianlin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly put down the yam roll that still had half a mouthful in his hand, ran to Mo'er's side, and grabbed her fair-skinned Rouyi as if he was invited, "Lady, the sour duck with sauce is delicious." When you get to Luoyang, I'll take you there. ”

Mo'er felt warm in her heart, and she couldn't put it down to pinch Qu Tianlin's handsome face, and her red lips curved into a smile arc, "Okay, then thank you Fujun." ”

Qu Tianlin suddenly blushed, and a pair of black eyes stared at Mo'er's red lips in a daze, "Lady, can I kiss you here?" He asked, his bony fingers tapping at Mo'er's red lips.

"Boom!" The sound of touching the corner of the table sounded, and it turned out that Xuan Lin on the side accidentally kicked the corner of the table.

He had a vertical line on his face, and couldn't help but slander in his heart: The third brother is really, there are still two people in the room, and showing affection is not this show.

On the other side, Morning Frost's face was also like a ripe peach, red.

Until now, she still remembers that the young lady first took her through the secret passage hidden under the bathtub in the city lord's room, came to the Lin Pavilion, and was shocked when she saw the real city lord. At that moment, she finally understood why the young lady had two attitudes towards the new aunt on the day of the tea ceremony!

Chenshuang blushed and looked at Qu Tianlin, who was smiling like a big child begging for candy because of his success: I don't know why, she prefers this naughty and clingy city lord like a big child to the "city lord" who treats people politely and gently!
