The caravan traveled all the way from Guozhou and Quzhou in Shannan West Road to Wanzhou in Shannan East Road, boarding the ship from Wanzhou and going down the river, which really allowed Yang Yun to experience the extreme speed of "a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day".

This itinerary is also called "going down", which means going down the river, passing through Fengjie, Wushan, Badong to Yichang, which is the most turbulent section of the Yangtze River.

The boatmen are very experienced, and after decades of sailing, they are very familiar with every reef and every turbulence in this section of water, and they skillfully avoid critical moments, but they seem to be in urgent and dangerous situations.

Even the caravan itself has many people who are not adaptable, after all, not everyone is an expert, and there are newcomers like Yang Yun who are walking this road for the first time.

Walking to Qutang Gorge, the river splits the mountain, squeezes through the cracks, surging and worshipping, and discharges the ocean.

The peaks on both sides of the strait confronted each other, towering into the clouds, the sound of apes cried endlessly, the river wind swept the waves, frantically crashed into the bow of the boat, and the boat shook more and more violently, it was really like sailing in the ghost gate.

A few little Lori's faces were so frightened that they hid in the cabin and didn't dare to come out.

Yang Yun stood at the bow of the boat, feeling the majesty, steepness and deep beauty of the Three Gorges, and experiencing the surging passion of "the peak and the sky are connected, and the boat travels from the cave".

At noon, the fleet passed through Padang without docking at the wharf, but simply used dry food by the river, and then continued straight down Xiling Gorge.

At this time, there was no Three Gorges Dam, and the Xiling Gorge boat ride was still thrilling. This voyage is known for its many beaches and water rushes, and the dangerous shoals such as Xintan and Kongling Beach come one after another, and the fatal obstacles in the center of these rivers are formed by the collapse of mountains and rocks on both sides, some are caused by the alluvial sand and gravel in the upper reaches, some are the rock veins that stretch out from the shore, and some are the reefs that protrude from the bottom of the river, as long as they hit it, the ship is destroyed and people die.

In the dangerous place of the beach, the water flow is boiling, the bubble whirlpool is tumbling, turbulent and agitated, and it is thrilling.

Out of Xiling Gorge, the current gradually became lighter, and the tense faces of the boatmen showed a smile, and this fateful voyage was finally coming to an end.

"Brother Yang, we will go ashore when we arrive in Yiling, and we will purchase a batch of goods nearby when the time comes...... Now it is the season for autumn tea to go on the market, and it can be sold at a good price when it is shipped to Luoyang. ”

Lei Jiao stood at the bow of the boat and said to Yang Yun, who was enjoying the river view.

After experiencing the incident of the thief in Suizhou Fengtingyi, Lei Jiao's attitude towards Yang Yun became extremely respectful, and he didn't ask Yang Yun's origins, he took care of Yang Yun and a few little Loli along the way.

Yang Yun said with a smile: "If Lei Dangjia wants to purchase goods, he doesn't have to follow in detail, just tell him the time of departure...... After going ashore, just find a place to rest. ”

Lei Jiao said with a smile: "It will take a day or two to purchase tea, just enough to rest, and when the boat came down today, the brothers were unwell, but Brother Yang was in good spirits...... Have you been this way before? ”

Yang Yun shook his head.

Reggio sighed from the bottom of his heart: "That's really rare...... It seems that Brother Yang, you are a person who does great things, you have lived a handful of years, and you have seen countless people, but I have never seen such an extraordinary young man as Brother Yang...... Brother Yang's future is immeasurable. ”

Yang Yun smiled, he didn't think he was as good as Lei Jiao said.

He thought to himself: "If you are a human being in two lives, accustomed to seeing storms and waves, and can look down on everything like me, who will dare to be sure in the future?" ”

Lei Jiao didn't say anything more to Yang Yun.

Coming to Yiling soon, Lei Jiao had to arrange for the front and rear ships to dock and unload, as well as rest and buy tea, etc., as the leader of the caravan, Lei Jiao was heartbroken.

……

……

Yiling is the Yichang of later generations, known as the "gateway of the Three Gorges".

After the ship docked, Yang Yun took a few little Loli to stay in an inn outside the city.

Datang has not been in war for a long time, and such an important riverside pass as Xiazhou is actually completely undefended, and there are basically no checkpoints on the official road, and the people come and go at will, and commerce is developed.

Merchants from all over the country gather here to undertake goods from Shudi...... This is the starting point of the official road of Ezhou, Luzhou, Jiangning, Yangzhou and north to Xiangyang, Nanyang and Luoyang, the eastern capital.

The caravan buys tea, but does not enter the city, because the tea sellers in the city are basically "second-class dealers". The Liu family is very familiar with this trade route, and they have a wide network of people in Yiling, and they will go directly into the countryside to buy it, not to mention the cheap price, and they can also receive high-quality goods.

After disembarking, Nguyen Ngao was responsible for liaising with the people of the carriage dealer and loading the existing goods; Lei Jiao took Liu Tong, the steward of the caravan guard, to a nearby village to buy tea, and he went for several days; The second master, Zhang Lin, went into the city and sold some of the specialties of Shudi...... Yiling was not the terminal or main destination of the caravanserais, and only a small number of goods were actually sold in Yiling to make room for the tea to be purchased.

The goods in Shu are very good to sell in Yiling, especially the goods that come from Liu Fu are of high quality, and the goods in demand such as Shu brocade and Shu embroidery are directly bought by large business travelers, and they will be transported to the states and counties of Shannan Dongdao to sell, or continue to Huainan Road and Jiangnan West Road and East Road along the river, and make a lot of money difference.

Zhang Lin entered the city in less than a day, and several truckloads of goods had been sold, and there was no news of Lei Jiao's purchase of tea at this time.

When Yang Yun arrived outside the Shu land, he could finally let go of his heart, no longer worry about being recovered, he could leave all his troubles behind, and take a few little Loli to the surrounding markets to hang out.

Yang Yun has a lot of money, Xiao Loli has 20 pocket money per person, you can go to the market to buy anything you want, Yiling is a key point on land and water, the market near the dock is very lively, it is the autumn is cool, and it is also the harvest season, the market is very lively, in addition to the vendors selling along the street, there are many jugglers pulling the circle to perform, and there is no shortage of Taoist priests and monks.

Even in front of a large family outside the bazaar, a group of Taoist priests brandished peachwood swords, pretending to jump around, and commonly used props such as phosphorus powder and borax were constantly thrown around, attracting exclamations. Yang Yun stopped and observed, it was another group of charlatans who used tricks to deceive the ignorant people.

The common people did not understand the usual methods of Taoist priests, and when they saw the incredible scene, in addition to screaming and fleeing, more people knelt down to bow and worship, which deepened the arrogance of those Taoist priests.

"Master, if we do things instead, it will have this effect." Yidan is the most senior "Taoist" among several little Lori, she has been following Songmei for a long time, and naturally knows a lot of tricks to trick the eyes, and Songmei herself is also a leader in this industry, and the "big disciple" she taught is also full of confidence.

Yang Yun said with a smile: "Doing things for people is something that only Taoist priests who can't get along with it, it's too bad...... If we want to make money, we can go the right way. ”

Yidan was confused: "What way?" Do Taoist priests have any other ways to make money besides doing things? ”

An Lun also tilted his head and shouted, "Yes, Master, won't we do things in the future?" I heard that this industry is very profitable! ”

As a qualified fan of small money, she adheres to the principle of "being a fool if you don't make money", and has been encouraging Yang Yun to make more money, although she also knows that the money earned does not belong to her, but as long as the money is in front of her, she can count it, and she is satisfied.

Yang Yun said: "You'll know when you wait until Luoyang...... Not only do we have to open a liquor store, but we also have to do something new, and it is more profitable to keep it than to do it...... This kind of red and white thing is easy to break the blessing. ”

An Lun looked forward to the bright future after arriving in Luoyang, and said with a smile: "Yes, selling wine and sour plum soup will definitely make a lot of money." ”

"If you have money, you have food."

Yi Dan is more concerned about filling her stomach, her food volume alone is equal to the sum of Yang Yun's food consumption, which could have been turned into endless brute force, but Yang Yun didn't bring any goods on this trip, and Yi Dan didn't have a chance to use her special superpowers.

An Lun said: "Master, why don't we also learn from the caravan, go to the market to buy some goods, and transport them to Luoyang to sell...... This money is not made in vain. ”

Yang Yun shook his head with a smile: "We went to Luoyang to invest in relatives and settle down, this kind of trading of upside-down licensed goods is not suitable for us...... All you have to do is eat and have fun along the way! ”
