The canal is the most convenient, but not all ships go smoothly, the size of the ship, civilian ships, merchant ships, and official ships will affect the speed, even if it is an official ship, it is necessary to look at the size of the head.

However, Qian Yuan's ship is not small, it is the greeting of King Yu himself, Gao Gong's brother Gao Jie served as the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate and the governor of Caojiang, with this background, the official ship went straight to Nanjing, and the banknotes in various places were released as soon as possible.

The huge cabin has two floors, the guards are below, and several mothers-in-law, maids and Qian Yuan and his wife are on the second floor.

After lifting the curtain and looking at it, Qian Yuan hung up the curtain, "After Linqing, there is no need for a slender man." ”

Soon after leaving Beijing, the canal was difficult to pass, and he had to hire a slender man, and there was no such profession in later generations, and Xiao Qi really couldn't stand it with a soft heart.

Xiao Qi turned his head to look, the dense size of boats on the river outside was dazzling, the men the size of ants on the shore, the slightly larger carriages, the loud and scolded officials, the waving horse whips, and the chaos.

"This is the most desperate money on the canal." Qian Yuan said expressionlessly: "A merchant ship without a background is bankrupt if you are not careful. ”

This north-south canal was the main artery of the Ming Dynasty, which was very, very important, but this artery often had problems, and the biggest problem was naturally the Yellow River.

The flooding of the Yellow River has a history of thousands of years, and Qian Yuan is not a student of water conservancy, so there is nothing good to do about it, he is considering, how many people are supported by this Grand Canal?

Tens of thousands of Caoding, countless merchants who went south and north, and a large number of officials attached to the canal to suck blood, and most importantly, hundreds of thousands, millions of people on both sides of this canal.

Listen to these cities, Dezhou, Tai'an, Liaocheng, Linqing, Zaozhuang in Shandong, are not famous in later generations, but in the Ming Dynasty, they all relied on the canal to be famous, and merchants gathered.

How much pressure do you have to face if you want to change from water transportation to sea freight...... Qian Yuan pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, this is an almost impossible task.

Even if it is only for the sea to transport grain, it is useless for the canal to still assume the role of commercial use in the north and the south, just think about it...... The most important thing for the imperial court is to transport grain, and the grain can be transported by sea, and the household department is willing to spend so much silver to repair the canal every year?

Unless it comes time to make a life-or-death decision...... This thought flashed through Qian Yuan's mind, and now was not the time to think about that.

"Come on?" Qian Yuan asked with a smile.

"Come on!" Xiao Qi snorted angrily, asked Qingwen to take out the Go board, and carefully put a sunspot.

Qian Yuan didn't want to go down casually, and it wasn't even two minutes, "Don't think about it, you've lost again." ”

"Where?"

"Here...... One step, two steps, three steps...... Double-in-a-row. Qian Yuan sighed, "Invincible is so lonely. ”

Although he doesn't know anything yet, Qian Yuan is sure that this time on the ship will be the most leisurely days in the future, playing chess every day, chatting, creating people, and not changing a god.

Seeing that Xiao Qi was still angry with his mouth puffed out, Qian Yuan smiled and said, "You were too well-behaved in middle school, didn't you play backgammon?" ”

"Okay, good, whatever you choose, or play mahjong...... The Three Kingdoms killing is too advanced, let's play forty points. ”

Ten days later, the official ship passed through Xuzhou, Suqian, Huai'an, and Yangzhou, and when it arrived in Zhenjiang, Qian Yuan finally received a letter from Beijing.

Two letters, one is from his uncle Qian Zheng, and the other is from Suiyuan Xu Wei.

Qian Zheng didn't mention anything too much in the letter, only said that Emperor Jiajing had ordered, Lu Shusheng replied, and Ren Hanlin was the attendant and the prince of the country.

This old man has returned to Huating to guard filial piety in the thirty-first year of Jiajing, and it has been more than four years now, and he has finally recovered.

Qian Yuan had a number in his heart, Yan Song recommended Lu Shusheng, Xu Jie did not object, but later some people proposed other candidates, such as Yuan Wei and Li Chunfang, who wrote words for Emperor Jiajing in Xiyuan, these two are also senior Hanlin, and Lu Shusheng does not have many advantages.

But the color head still fell on Lu Shusheng's head...... Qian Zheng, who was far away in Beijing, couldn't help but think, what role did his nephew play in his father-in-law's recovery?

Qian Yuan sneered and turned the letter back, Yuan Wei didn't know very well, but he knew very well that Li Chunfang was a vacillating person, but he should have something to do with Xu Jie, although Xu Jie didn't say anything, but it should be him who recommended Li Chunfang.

Later, during the Longqing period of Xu Jie, it was Li Chunfang who took over the position of first assistant, and Xu Jie, the kind of goods that drove out his predecessor...... How can it be possible to keep an enemy instead of your own people to take over?

But now that Qian Yuan is far away in the southeast, Xu Jie's hand can't reach out anymore, so he pondered for a moment and then opened Xu Wei's letter.

After a few quick glances, a smug smile appeared on Qian Yuan's face, attracting Xiao Qi not far away.

"Got a baby?"

"What nonsense." Qian Yuan folded the letter and put it away, "I caught a few crucian carp last night, let's boil some fish soup, this is a serious wild crucian carp." ”

"Isn't there a fathead fish, I want to eat chopped pepper fish head!"

"Grandma, I really don't have chopped peppers, I let you eat them all the other day, you have to use chopped peppers for everything you eat!" Qian Yuan said with a bitter face: "I haven't bought this thing yet, so let's drink crucian carp soup." ”

"Thorny ......" Xiao Qi pouted and just shook his head, "That...... Craving for hash browns. ”

Qian Yuan walked over expressionlessly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Qi's nose, "I still want to eat baked sweet potatoes!" ”

"Hey, and corn on the cob......"

"I still want fried peanuts."

"Tomato scrambled eggs...... I can't eat this kind of dish that was everywhere in my previous life......" Xiao Qi hugged Qian Yuan pitifully, "Can you go find a tomato?" ”

Qian Yuan hugged Xiao Qi with his backhand and said kindly: "Dear, you can find me a plate of sunflower seeds first." ”

Seeing Xiao Qi's depressed expression, Qian Yuan comforted: "Bear with me, I've already asked people to find it." ”

"Really?"

"A few years ago, I met Yang Wen in Hangzhou and Ningbo, and it was he who brought chili peppers to the mainland, and there were sunflower sunflower seeds at that time, but unfortunately they were not planted."

"He brought it in history?"

"I don't know, probably not." Qian Yuan thought for a while, "As early as when I was in Hangzhou, I asked Yang Wen to let the news out, and this time I went back to the southeast and asked him to ask, maybe as soon as I arrived in Hangzhou, I could eat corn on the cob, roasted sweet potatoes ......."

boiled a pot of crucian carp milk soup with their own hands, Ke Qing and Raiden fried a few more vegetarian dishes, and Qian Yuan beckoned Xiao Qi to eat...... She still said no, she drank the most crucian carp soup!

After eating dinner all the time, the mother-in-law cleaned up and asked Xiangling to make a pot of tea, and Qian Yuan took out Xu Wei's letter again, and read it carefully.

What does it mean to have your wishes come true?

That's it.

Almost all of the ideas and arrangements were perfectly achieved.

On the second day of Qian Yuan's departure from Beijing, the lion cat in Xiyuan died, Emperor Jiajing wept in grief, made a gold coffin and buried it on the top of Wanshou Mountain, and ordered Zhu Hanlin in Xiyuan to write a speech.

Firmly remembering Qian Yuan's instructions, Xu Wei waved his success, and there was a saying in the text that "the lion turned into a dragon", and Emperor Jiajing was overjoyed.

What did Qian Yuan tell Xu Wei?

First, shameless.

Second, persistence.

Third, insist on shamelessness.

wanted to overwhelm Yuan Wei and Li Chunfang in front of Emperor Jiajing, and insisted on being shameless...... Only then can we win.

History has turned a small corner here, and it should have been Yuan Wei who came up this time, and then was immediately promoted by Emperor Jiajing as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

Xu Wei is no problem here, Zhu Dashou is more smooth, Emperor Jiajing has ordered the resumption of the feast day, of course, he himself is not to suffer, so that the Hanlin Academy selected four Japanese lecturers to teach for King Yu and King Jing, among which Tang Ruji, Zhang Juzheng, and Zhu Dashou were successfully selected, and the remaining one person is Pan Sheng, the eye of the Jiajing 20-year palace test list, this person has a great friendship with Xu Wei, and has also come to Suiyuan several times as a guest.

Qian Yuan curled his fingers and tapped on the table, the name of Zhu Dashou was prepared in front of King Yu and Gao Gong, as long as there were no major problems, such as Yan Song suddenly hanging up, Zhu Dashou should have more advantages than Zhang Juzheng.

Xu Wei wrote nearly 1,000 words in a sway, but he didn't say a few things in total...... I really know how to count words!

Seeing the end, a playful smile appeared at the corner of Qian Yuan's mouth, Emperor Jiajing issued an order, and Li Mo, the former secretary of the ministry, cut officials for the people.

Lu Bing still has some ability, and he rescued this teacher by force, the interesting thing is that he was released from prison the day before, and Li Mo walked out of Beijing the day after that, cautious and vigorous, and his body was great!

You must know that Li Mo died of illness in prison in his previous life, and Qian Yuan estimated that he was really the hand of Yan Shifan.

Of course, Qian Yuan can also be regarded as earning a personal favor.

"Young master, can you rest?" Keqing whispered.

Qian Yuan turned his head to look, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the surface of the river, and a burst of silver light shook and looked funny.

"Wait a little longer, get a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."

Lu Bing's favor...... Qian Yuan was really afraid that when he returned to Beijing, Lu Bing would already hang up, so since this was the case, let's ask for interest first.
