Chapter 171: By Land
Chapter 171: Overland
The Anning River Valley, the second largest plain in Sichuan in later generations, is also the largest windy area. At the entrance of the Anning River and the Jinsha River, a famous steel city - Panzhihua will appear in the future.
Several large magnets made by the Second Forest Department for the Land Temple were found here.
But now there is still a Jianchang Mansion in Dali between the two, which is Xichang in the later generations, Su You can only salivate and look at the surging river: "The whip is beyond the reach of ......"
Chen Yu has gone crazy these days, and he just lies on the deck to dry his baby when he has nothing to do.
It's really a treasure, gold and silver are too low-grade, what red and green rubies, rhino horn ivory, beeswax amber, these are all about the box.
I was reluctant to let the courier brother bring him back first, and he had to carry it with him to feel at ease.
If it's okay, take it out and show it: "Mingrun, come on, come on, you see there's a big bug in this piece of amber......"
Su You turned his head and smiled: "If I hadn't stabbed you in the waist, you would have offended Brother Gao, where can you exchange a sword for so many benefits?" ”
Chen Wei didn't admit this account: "It's obviously me who is righteous and bold, so the senior brother just handed it in." This is called chivalrous and high-spirited, valuing righteousness over wealth. ”
Su You stretched out his hand: "Then I like this piece of amber very much, give it to me." ”
Chen Yu hurriedly pressed the amber into the box: "Think beautifully!" What Brother Gao gave you is definitely better. Walk away, go away...... Oops, you let go of this amber thing, you can't ...... it."
Both sides of the river valley are flatland, looking at the continuous rice fields, this area is also an area of intensive cultivation, with a long history of rice cultivation, at least longer than Meishan.
It is already harvest time, the rice is falling heavily, and it is another bumper harvest year.
But the peasants toiled, harvesting in the fields under the scorching sun.
In fact, there is salt underground in this area, and no one knows about it now, and Su You is not ready to tell the people of Dali.
There are a lot of Zhuangzi along the way, many of which are the industries of the Second Forest Department, and the big ships began to buy new grains and new grains all the way.
The business has been well done.
Li Lianzhu has been playing with the rough measuring instrument, and Su You designed a measurement record book for him, recording the dates of various places along the way, the distance between the measurement points, the horizontal angle, and the height angle.
In the evening, Su You, Tether and Mr. Fan calculated the data together, made a triangular lock ratio map, and implemented it on a large piece of paper to turn it into a rough map.
The benchmarks were very early and the measuring tools were crude, so I mainly recorded the practice operations, and I didn't expect to be able to produce an accurate map in one trip.
After Nong Zhigao's incident, Mr. Fan has already regarded Su You as a successor.
While exploring how to make a map, Mr. Fan also explored the customs, customs, resources, contention between family branches, hatred, marriage, and war along the river...... Tell Su You like a few family treasures.
The wind was strong in the river valley, and the big ships were zigzag on the river, and the boatmen operated the sails to make the sails cut the wind flexibly, so that even against the current, the speed was not slow at all.
Three days later, the big ship entered a large lake, Qionghai.
Jianchang Mansion has arrived.
The Second Forest Department was in the north of Jianchang Province, but when the ship arrived here, it did not continue to move forward.
The further north they go, the greater the power of the Erlin Division, and they also have mansions here.
Jianchang Mansion is the distribution center of the procurement and transit of Dali horses from the Second Forestry Department, so although their mansion is located on the outskirts of the city, it covers a very wide area.
A dark-skinned young man stood on the edge of the mansion, with a high nose, a long waist, a thin face, a horn scarf wrapped around his head, a big silver ring on his ears, a tight jacket, and a short knife with a bright silver sheath hanging around his waist. can be regarded as looking forward to you back, my father talks about it every day. ”
Ah Mi was also very happy: "Brother! ”
The young man arched his hand at Chen Yu: "In Xia Ah Holie, this must be Su Mingrun, right?" My sister often thinks of you when she comes back, well, it's really heroic, worthy of my sister! ”
Chen Yu is stupid, where is this?
Ah Mi stomped his feet: "Brother! He's just a stupid scholar, this is Xiao You, Su Mingrun! ”
Chen Yu began to roll his eyes, hey! Your brother just said that his brother is heroic!
But this time it was Ah Holie's turn to be dumbfounded: "Xiao ...... How many ...... kids are It turns out that my sister is ...... Mother's Love ......"
Ah Mi stomped his feet: "Brother! ”
Su You couldn't help but start rolling his eyes, this baby's Chinese is not as authentic as Ah Homi's, and his expression is not good.
It was Mr. Fan who hurriedly came out to play a round: "Mingrun, this is the eldest son of the Great Ghost Lord of the Erlin Department, the Guide General of the Great Song Dynasty. Ah Lie, this is Su You Su Mingrun, Meishan Jiangqing family. ”
After speaking, Zhengse said: "Ah Lie, the transaction of my second forest department is mainly to deal with Meishan. Although Mingrun is young, we have always been thanks to him for being thoughtful. ”
Ah Homi took Su You's hand: "Yes, this trip to Dali, it was my younger brother who walked through the road of Gao Xiangfu, and Xiao Gao Xianggong issued us a card, and authorized the Second Forest Department to enter and exit at will in Dali." In the future, we don't have to report every time we go through the state, and our business can go further! ”
Ah Holie was overjoyed: "Really?! What my father has always wanted but couldn't, my little sister succeeded as soon as she came out, this is a great joy for my second forest department! ”
Ah Homi pursed her lips and smiled: "My sister doesn't have such a big ability, it's all the credit of Mingrun." ”
Su You said with a smile: "This is also the friendship between my sister and Xiao Xiangye, but I just met at the right time." ”
After speaking, he bowed his hand to Ah Holie: "But even if you get the card, when you pass through the state capital, you still have to say hello, and you have to give enough benefits to give it, and the business is just a favor...... Hi! With Mr. Fan here, where do you need me to talk more! ”
Ah Holie smiled: "Let's go, let's talk about it when we enter the door...... Mingrun, do you drink? There is a good wine in my Zhuangzi......"
Ah Homi put his hand on his head, angry and funny: "Brother, you are showing the wrong person, the Yongchun dew on the Zhuangzi was originally made by Mingrun......"
After another day in Jianchang Mansion, Mr. Fan handed over a part of the silver obtained from Dali's trading to Zhuangtou as a horse book, and Ah Homi and Ah Ho Lie straightened up the horse team, carrying the rice, salt, and various supplies from the big boat, and set foot on the mountain road to the Erlin Department.
Chen Yu and Chaogu are breathtaking at the scenery along the way, which is located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with a slightly higher altitude and a dry and refreshing climate.
The large pine forests were very envious of Chen Yu: "If Zizhan is here, I'm afraid he will be ecstatic." ”
Su You rode a jujube red horse, and when he heard this, he asked, "Yo, do you know Zizhan too?" ”
Chen Yu said: "Su Zizhan, are there any scholars in Meishan who don't know him?" My dad ...... Hey, forget it! ”
Su You was secretly funny, estimating that his eldest nephew was also the kind of child of someone else's family.
So he smiled and said: "Brother Ji Chang doesn't have to be presumptuous, this trip to Dali is not an adventure?" The Great Song Zhishi and Nong Zhigao, your father knows that with your participation, there must be light on his face! ”
Chen Yu was a little depressed: "What a ghost adventure, there is no shadow of me in the legend at all, it is obviously a sword that I gave to my senior brother, but it has become a jade dragon transformation god soldier descending from the sky." Ah, by the way, I've been obsessed with watching babies these days, and I haven't had time to settle accounts with you......"
Su You pinched the horse's belly and ran to the front of the team to find Ah Homi.
The pack team of five hundred horses is quite complicated to move, Su You Chen Yu followed Ah Ho Mi and Ah Ho Blazing, Li tied Chaogu to follow Ah Ho Lie and Mr. Fan, and in the past few days he has been learning the way of marching and camping to command and explore the outposts.
There is no reason to talk about it, wealth is moving, Su You is sure that in the surrounding mountains and wilderness, there are greedy eyes everywhere, and a little laxity may bring losses.
Therefore, this trip is not a simple transportation operation, but a completely paramilitary operation.
The trail winds along the slopes of the valley side for two days, crossing several streams and gradually shallowing the water, eventually allowing you to see the rocks and swimming fish at the bottom of the river.
At noon on the third day, on the slopes of the hills on both sides, several extremely high watchtowers made of stones appeared.
The second forest department has arrived.
