Chapter 214 Chengdu

The new ship started construction in November and is scheduled to be completed in May, and will be launched when the river rises.

However, Su You couldn't see the big ship launched, just in April, his cousin came to call him, and Mr. Zhang sent a letter, asking him to take Su You, Su Shi, and Su Zhe to Yizhou, and he wanted to meet.

Su You was very happy, and his first thought was that he could see Wei'er, so he hurried home to pack up all kinds of scraps.

As a result, Xue Zhong's boat was stuffed again, so that Sansu and his son almost didn't even have a place to sit.

Su Xun sat on a rattan box: "There are a lot of bottles and cans, I don't know and think you're moving!" ”

Xue Zhong also smiled: "In fact, there is no shortage of Meishan products in Chengdu Mansion now, and Engong is a bit redundant." ”

Su You said: "You don't understand, these are all good things, such as this soy sauce, but it has been dried for two and a half years of good soy sauce; For example, this sprout and mustard are the best flavored batches, and you can't buy them with money outside. ”

"There is also a folding fan, which is very different from the man's use, it is sandalwood planed into thin slices, and then carved into a couplet, waving the fragrance of the wind, which is a ...... that has just been successfully trial-made."

Su Shi began to rummage through the cabinets: "Where is it? This is a good thing, I want to ...... it too."

Su Xun was furious: "Zizhan! Mr. Zhang will definitely take the test this time, are you ready? Do you see how hard you work? ”

Su Zhe put down the book: "I also read "Historical Records" to change my mind, even if Bachelor Zhang takes the exam, it's too late to read it now, right?" is still Zizhan and Mingrun are at ease, full of confidence. ”

Su You didn't feel funny: "I'm just going to deliver soy sauce to Mr. Zhang, uh, to Mr. Zhang." It's only been a year and a half in school, and Mr. Zhang will definitely not be serious with me, but the two of you, you have to show some skills, otherwise my cousin won't look good. ”

The water quality of the Minjiang River is clear, the scenery is pleasant all the way, the humanistic language along the river is the local sound, there are only a few differences, and Suyou feels much more comfortable than the trip to Dali.

Xue Zhong introduced the villages and towns all the way, and he was really familiar with this area.

The Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project is not just a Dujiangyan, it is just a starting point.

After the perfection of successive dynasties, starting from that starting point, north to Hanzhou, south to Meizhou, across the Maojiang River water system, Tuojiang River water system, Minjiang River water system, in the entire Chengdu Plain, formed a huge fan-shaped water network.

Not only does it have irrigation functions, but also many large canals and canals, and it also has transportation functions.

From the day this water conservancy network was completed, Chuanzhong replaced Hanzhong as the new land of abundance, and the Chengdu Plain was free from drought and flood until Su You crossed.

Su oil is very interested in these, many channels in later generations have been abandoned, where such as the current structure is complete and carefully maintained, along the way can see a lot of gates, three Su father and son go ashore generally to visit local celebrities, bureaucrats and scholars. When Su You came ashore, he squatted in front of the hydraulic shed to inquire about allusions, and the important thing was to take a notebook to record it.

If the boat passes through Huayang Station, it will enter the territory of Chengdu Prefecture.

The road is very lively, along the river is a dirt road, the roadside is a waterfront tile house, many with curtains, are restaurants, shops, hostels.

There are also many high-style courtyards, Su You thought it was a big family, and when he inquired, he knew that it was the Sifang Hall.

The tall ship stopped at the head of the Wanli Bridge, and this wharf is more than three times larger than the Meishan wharf.

Wanli Bridge is a wooden arch bridge, Xue Zhong saw that Su You was fascinated, and said with a smile: "There is an allusion to this bridge, it is said that the prime minister ambushed Meng Shu back then, and wanted him to go back to settle the barbarians, but this Meng Shu was greedy for comfort in Shu and didn't want to go back." ”

"So the prime minister lied to him and said that he would let Zhao Yun send you to the suburbs to settle down, you don't need to go too far, you can go a stone's throw away, right?"

"Meng Shu thought of a stone's throw away, but he could accept it, so he came here with Zhao Yun."

Zhao Yun opened his bow and shot at the sky, and the arrow disappeared without a trace.

"Meng Shu walked and walked in the direction of archery, until he came to his own tribe, and only then did he find an iron arrow on a cliff."

But it turned out that General Zhao shot a magic arrow out of thousands of miles, and it was shot to Meng Huo's hometown, so this place was named Wanli Bridge. Therefore, the legend of the old man must be true. ”

Su You saw that there were pedestrians on the bridge, and many middle- and lower-class working people were still wrapped in white cloths on their heads, and said with a smile: "I heard that the prime minister is very admired by the Shu people, and this white cloth Baotou is an example, right?" ”

Xue Zhong nodded: "Yes, that's for Prime Minister Dai Xiaoli!" ”

The wharf is extremely busy, and the vehicles and ships are divergent, showing a vivid Chengdu version of the Qingming Riverside in front of Su You's eyes.

And it is even more lively than the Qingming Riverside Map, because there are many painting boats parked in the river that are obviously not merchant ships.

"Why are there so many ships? Chengdu people are so playful? "Su You felt curious.

"When it comes to playing, we Chengdu people have always been serious." Xue Zhong said with a smile: "Isn't this Qingming, the people in the city come out to worship their ancestors, go out, and go on an outing, until the eighth day of the fourth month, the Huanhua River is very lively, and we call it 'Dayou River' here." ”

"We are in Chengdu, there is a city in the month, a lamp market in the first month, a flower market in February, a silkworm market in March, a brocade market in April, a fan market in May, a fragrant market in June, a Qibao city in July, a Gui market in August, a medicine market in September, a wine market in October, a plum market in November, and a Taofu market in December."

"In addition to these big markets, there are four large gatherings in the east, west, north and south, and the shops are divided into two kinds, one is open in the morning and closed at night, and the other is closed at night and during the day, you have to play, Chengdu has twelve hours a day, and you can find something to eat at every hour."

Su You sighed: "No wonder Shijia mahjong sells so well, it seems that Chengdu Mansion is a huge market......

Xue Zhong said with a smile: "It's not just mahjong, even several long cards of the Cheng family are also extremely popular." Chengdu Mansion's Goolan Tile House, if there are no these things, the business is a few floors behind. ”

"But jade porcelain mahjong can't be beaten, it's generally mostly bamboo and wood, and the cow bone is already the top grade!"

Su Xun shook his head: "Don't enter Sichuan, don't leave Shu for the old, this is peaceful for a long time, and the Sichuan people are too lazy to be happy......"

The goods were exchanged for a few small boats, and a section of the Jinjiang River was walked up, passing by Xue Tao's former residence, and Chengdu City was on the other side.

This pier is also large, but it is all docked by smaller boats.

The building is majestic, and there are five city gates open on the city wall below, facing the wharf, and between the wharf and the city gate, it is a prosperous big bazaar.

Xue Zhong said: "I just said that in addition to the Moon Market, Chengdu also has four markets in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the building on the city wall is called Wumenlou, which is the largest Xinnan City." ”

As soon as the ship docked, many tooth men and porters came up to inquire about the market and business.

Cheng San had already waited here with a lot of empty cars, and when he saw a few people on the bow of the boat, he hurriedly greeted him, and greeted others in his mouth: "The owner has arrived, hurry up and unload the things, check the carriage and horses again, and a few stewards will go with me to greet them." ”

When a few people came ashore, Cheng San greeted him with a smile: "It can be regarded as arriving, Mingrun Mingyun, Zizhan Ziyou, hard work all the way." ”

Su Xun said with a smile: "The old shopkeeper has been waiting for a long time, and he has been playing all the way, where can he say the word hard work." ”

Cheng San said: "Bachelor Zhang is already waiting in the mansion, this is not a moment, we will enter the city, see the bachelor first, and then settle down." ”

Su You waved his hand: "I won't go, there are still a lot of things to send to the Jade Bureau, I'll go and see you later." ”

Cheng San was dumbfounded: "Uh...... Little master, is this rude? ”

Su You said with a smile: "What kind of character is Master Zhang, who will care about me as a child?" It's okay, you go quickly, I'll go to see my brother first. ”

Cheng San nodded: "The business has a lot of support from the Heavenly Master, and it is also appropriate to visit first, then we will divide into two ways, and the little young master remembers to come to the Mansion in the afternoon." ”

Su You responded with a smile and continued to sail with Cheng San.

The boat rounded the southwest corner of Chengdu and turned into a small river.

Su You turned his head and looked at a wide stone road across the river: "Huh? Is there such a good way to go? And so many small boats stopped? ”

Cheng San said: "That is the ancestral road, leading to the Han Zhaolie Mausoleum in the southern suburbs of the city, but we all call it Wuhou Temple, and the incense has been strong in recent days!" ”

Su You nodded: "Prime Minister's ancestral hall, you have to go to worship when you are free." ”
