"In Yangzhou, you can't bully Youwei, although she is your redemption, but no matter what, she is also the daughter of your teacher and sister, and she can also be regarded as your little junior sister, so as a senior brother, you have to take good care of her, you know? Anyway, we don't care about other reasons, if you let her be wronged, I will follow your teacher's example when I come back, and stop you from entering the door. Ya Niang said imposingly, Cao Yi had no choice but to nod frequently, made guarantees one by one, and verbally signed various treaties for the loss of sovereignty.

There is no way, Ya Niang almost said with Cao Yi's ears, but although Ya Niang has a knife mouth, her heart is excellent, and she is thinking about Yu Youwei and Cao Yi and others, "I am just unreasonable, I am protecting the calf, you are a boy, and you are a senior brother, it is natural to take care of my junior sister...... In the same way, if you are wronged outside, the master doesn't care about any reason, and of course your own baby must be protected. I'm not a big husband, I'm not a gentleman, I'm just a mother and a teacher who protects a calf, but you have to love each other outside, you can't quarrel, you can't make conflicts, and the most important thing is that you must come back safely, you know? ”

Although these words seem to be coquettish, Cao Yi is still deeply moved by the licking of calves revealed in and out of the words. After talking a few words on Shi Niang's side, Cao Yi went to talk to Gongye Yuanzhou for a few words, after all, all the trips on the road are responsible for him and the red sleeves, the red sleeves are in charge of the overall situation, and Gongye Yuanzhou is responsible for the implementation and defense, there are some things Cao Yi did not interfere in before, let them decide for themselves, but now that he is on the road, he still has to have a comprehensive understanding of the layout and itinerary, and it is best not to find any problems.

When Cao Yi was communicating with Gongye Yuanzhou here, the captain of the merchant ship, Wang Fu, who was the main person in charge of this trip, came over to talk to Cao Yi, he knew that although the girl named Red Sleeves was in charge of all the previous communications, but at this time, it was still the handsome boy in front of him who could decide things, because he often ran for luck and basically lived on the ship, so he had only heard of Jiangning's first talent, had not seen it, and naturally did not know Cao Yi, but he obviously knew Yang Gong, the prefect of Jiangning, Besides, because Yang Gong still has to go to the government office to do business today, he was still wearing an official uniform when he came, plus those guards, even if he didn't know him before, he could know what kind of official it was.

Wang Fu noticed that this son-in-law brother didn't have much of a low voice even in front of Yang Zhifu, but it was like a way of communication between juniors and elders, and it gave people the feeling that he was not afraid of Yang Zhifu at all, so there was only one possibility, that is, this son-in-law's family background was at least similar to Yang Zhifu, otherwise it would definitely not be this way of communication. In this regard, Wang Fu pulled out the young man in front of him, who only knew his name as Cao Gongzi, and pulled up the status in his mind.

"Young Master Cao, the old man has something to discuss with his son...... Wang Fu was a foot away from Cao Yi, and after Cao Yi and Gongye Yuanzhou stopped talking, he stepped forward with his fists and said.

"Wang Gong, no need to be polite,

Do you have something to communicate with? Cao Yi has a very good impression of this captain who treats people very modestly and acts in a style that is neither humble nor arrogant, and judging from the fact that he stopped at the right distance when he came over just now, and waited until he stopped communicating and noticed him before he stepped forward to talk, he is a person who handles things smoothly and does things without leakage.

"That's the case of Cao Gongzi, originally because you didn't charter the whole ship, so in order to be able to make a living, Lao Yu will generally take over the business along the way, but since the charter boat, Lao Yu has not taken this kind of business on this trip, but unfortunately, during the trip from Yangzhou to Jiangning, when passing through Runzhou, he put down the two girls to go home to save his relatives, and also promised to take them with him on the way back, and also collected part of the deposit, so this matter is more difficult to do, Lao Yu thought about whether the son could make it convenient, Keep the old name of "keeping your word", when I was berthed in Runzhou, I also brought these two girls, and I transferred the boat fare of the two of them to Childe, and reduced part of Childe's charter fee, Childe, do you think it is good? Wang Fu asked with a kind smile on his face.

"Of course you can, that's it, Wang Gong, you wait and talk to the red-sleeved girl, just say that the ladies will leave two empty cabins to come out and prepare them for them, and you don't have to give me their expenses, you give them back, you don't need to say that you will reduce the fees for us, they are all out to make a living, it is not easy for everyone, if you really feel that you don't want to go, you can buy some food and drink for the boatmen on the ship, and treat it." Cao Yi said with a smile at Wang Fu.

"In this way, the old man will thank the brothers on the ship!" Wang Fu clenched his fists and said, after a pause, he said goodbye: "Son, the old man will go to the boat first and go around again, and do the final inspection before leaving, and I will feel at ease after reading it once."

"So there will be Lao Wanggong!" Cao Yi also returned the salute to Wang Fu.

……

Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end.

Cao Yi boarded the merchant ship in the bitter cry of Tan Yun, stood on the deck, and looked at Tan Yun who was crying like a child, Mu Yue who silently wiped his tears, Raider and other Sikong Ye and Sikong Youyi, the people who stayed behind, as well as Mrs. Qin and Ya Niang who wiped away their tears and waved goodbye, as well as Yang Gong and Lu Gong who watched silently, the people on the boat waved goodbye to these people one by one, and the merchant ship slowly sailed away from the dock and entered the Yangtze River channel under the gaze of everyone on the dock.

And at this time, in the entire Jiangning City, one hundred and eight bells rang by the Jiming Temple, tight eighteen, slow eighteen, so repeated six times, although everyone is accustomed to the bell of the Jiming Temple once in the morning and once in the evening, but this time it has just passed from the morning bell, and it is far away from the evening bell, I don't know why the Jiming Temple suddenly rang in this time period. Only Cao Yi looked thoughtfully at the Jiming Temple in the distance, could it be that this bell was seeing them off?

Immediately, Cao Yi shook his head, revealing a self-deprecating smile, he is not a big person, how can someone else see off the first temple of the Southern Dynasty so ceremoniously, it should be a temple

What is happening in the temple, Cao Yi thought.

In fact, something important did happen in the temple, but half of the reason for the one hundred and eight bells ringing at this time was to see him off.

Abbot Qingyang stood on the top floor of the temple's Pharmacist Stupa and watched the merchant ships slowly departing on the dock, muttering words in his mouth, but no one heard what he was saying.

Since yesterday, the abbot of Qingyang performed his fate to faint, the first thing he did when he woke up was to let Cao Yi write the five words "Nanwu First Temple" into a plaque to hang, but it was not placed in the mountain gate, but in the Pilu Treasure Hall, just above the Buddha statue of the Pilu Dharma body in the middle, the two Bodhisattvas of Manjushri and Puxian on the left and right, the twenty heavens in the east and west, and the pattern of protecting all directions...... The abbot of Qingyang even ordered that from now on, all monks must have morning and evening classes in the Pilu Treasure Hall, and all of them must recite the mantra and seal the five words of "Nanwu First Temple".

In addition, these five-character plaques are placed here, and while Vilu Buddha is worshipped, these five characters will also be worshiped by the incense of all people......

But at this time, Cao Yi, who had already left Jiangning on a merchant ship, naturally would not know that he was just Lingxi who used a thin gold font to write "Nanwu First Temple", and it would be made into a plaque by Jiming Temple and hung on the Pilu Buddha. I would not have thought that when the abbot of Qingyang made the plaque, he would also engrave Cao Yi's inscription, so that the two words Cao Yi are equivalent to each other, and they can also receive the blessing of supreme mental power and the incense offerings of the people every day......

At this time, it is already the beginning of the second month of the lunar calendar, and some ice and snow in various places have begun to melt slowly, so that the water level of the Yangtze River has exploded a lot, from the upstream to Jiangning, after thousands of miles of rushing, the water potential on the river has been quite powerful, at this time, only these large volumes, the carrying capacity of large merchant ships and official ships dare to drive and transport. At this time, the shipbuilding industry of the Great Yan Dynasty was already very developed, whether it was river transportation on inland rivers or sea transportation outside the land, large and safe ships were needed.

In this era, Dayan's shipbuilding industry can be said to be the first in the world, since the capital of Bianjing, the imperial court has been transporting grain, silk, and goods from the south of the Yangtze River to Kaifeng through the canal, so a large number of boats have been built, most of the carrying capacity has reached two thousand stones, equivalent to more than one hundred tons in modern times, and can accommodate one or two hundred crew members, which is already commendable in ancient times, this is inland river transportation, if it is an ocean-going ship by sea, the carrying capacity is at least five thousand stones, and the ship can accommodate hundreds of crew members, if it is large, The carrying capacity reaches more than 10,000 stones, and can accommodate nearly 1,000 crew members.

And the merchant ship that Cao Yi and the others were taking at this time was completely in accordance with the official ship transporting grain, with a large amount of cargo and a capacity of nearly 200 crew members. Of course, Cao Yi and they don't have so many people, but the goods are full, so the draft of this ship is already very deep at this time, but even so, when it reaches the Yangtze River channel, it is still bumpy and shaking with the river, so that those who will get seasick will start their miserable journey.
