Not far away, the wide Jiangnan River runs quietly into the distance like a bright white silk.

It's just a pity that on such an empty river, there is no beautiful scenery of thousands of sails competing, let alone a hundred boats competing for the river

This article was born from the great project of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and I don't know when it will be able to play its real role.

With a long breath of turbidity, Xiao Han felt that he was becoming more and more like a qualified politician now, no matter whether he did anything meaningful or not, he had formed an inherent habit of worrying about the country and the people in advance.

"Let's go, take a closer look!" With a self-deprecating smile, Xiao Han took a few people and walked along the paved bluestone road towards the dock.

This bluestone road is very wide, and it looks like seven or eight carriages can walk side by side, but except for the narrow one in the middle, the stones on both sides have begun to grow moss, and it can be seen that the amount of use of this road should not be too large.

The wharf was open, there was no fence around it, Xiao Han and his party approached slowly, and the porters who were originally basking in the sun also stood up when they saw this.

Among them, an older man took two steps forward with a smile, arched his hand to Xiao Han, who was walking in front, and asked, "A few guests are very angry, I don't know if they are looking for someone or a boat when they come here?" ”

"Hehe......" Xiao Han saw that the person said politely, he also stopped, returned the salute politely, and said to the person who stepped forward: "Don't bother a few, a few of us are from other towns, I heard that there are some big ships here, so I specially came to take a look,"

"Oh, look at the boat? Then you have to go to the inner harbor over there, this is the river, and at this time of year, there are very few boats. ”

Those men themselves didn't expect these people who were dressed like rich children to bring them any work, and when they heard Xiao Han say this, they were not disappointed, and kindly pointed out the location of the port for them, and warned them that there were a few places where it was not good to trespass.

"Oh? Thank you for your advice! Or we're going to run around like headless flies. ”

Xiao Han liked these simple dock men very much, especially after hearing their enthusiastic guidance for himself, he thanked them again and again.

Seeing that the noble son in front of him was so polite, it was even more difficult for a few men to lie down in front of him and bask in the sun, so they had to stand there and continue to be polite.

The two parties came politely and politely passed.

A few simple-hearted porters didn't know why, and in the end, they were polite, and they were asked by Xiao Han about a lot of things on the dock.

It wasn't until someone called out to a few of them on the dock in front of them that these people woke up like a dream, quickly confessed to Xiao Han, and ran towards it quickly.

"Brother Xiao, do you think that boat is so strange? Is it also a sand boat? Li Yifu had just been listening to Xiao Han talking to those people about trivial matters, and he had been bored for a long time, but at this time, his eyes moved to the big ingot-shaped ship in front of him with those people, and finally raised his spirit, and looked up curiously to ask Xiao Han.

"Of course not."

When Xiao Han heard Li Yifu's words, he also followed those ships, but he also had his own shipyard, and although he was not proficient in the shipbuilding industry, he was not a complete novice.

At least, he still knows these most famous ships in the world.

"The one in the river is a lucky boat, usually sailing in the sea, you see he has two pointed ends and a low middle, so that he can resist the wind and waves, and he will not capsize easily at sea!

And the sand boats we are talking about are all square, which can be loaded with more things, and it is not easy to touch the bottom of the river. ”

Touching Li Yifu's head, Xiao Han patiently explained to him, and at the same time, he was also explaining to the purple clothes and Xiaodong beside him.

Li Yifu was very unimpressed by Xiao Han's action of touching his head, and when he saw him touching it again, he hurriedly shook his head, trying to get rid of Xiao Han's claws, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Oh?" How did the ship in the sea get here? ”

"Why can't the ship in the sea get here? It is not a fish, and those in the sea can only be in the sea, and those in the river can only be in the river. ”

Xiao Han felt a little crying and laughing at this naïve question raised by Li Yifu.

Although Runzhou is not near the sea, as long as you go a little north along the canal, you can borrow the water of the Yangtze River to go straight to the sea, so there are a few sea ships here, shouldn't it be an ordinary thing?

"I know boats can come in when there's water, but I've been here a lot before, so I've never seen a boat like this?" Li Yifu blushed a little when Xiao Han laughed, and couldn't help but bow his head and mutter.

It's just that his muttering voice is too small, including Xiao Han, no one around him heard it.

Canal, Fu boat.

A few short, strange-looking men with combed hair were now nestled in the dark, damp cabin with nothing to do.

I don't know how long they stayed in this small cabin, so that the whole cabin emitted a strong fishy smell, which made people smell and almost sickened!

"Boom Woo Woo ......"

Soon, a short man lying on the bed probably couldn't stand the smell, and gestured to the person opposite for a long time, but the language he used was not Chinese, but similar to the language of the Wa Kingdom.

As soon as the short man spoke, several other people spoke, and for a moment all sorts of strange tones mingled, like a hundred ducks squeezed into the room.

The sound in the cabin grew louder and louder, and the man who seemed to be the leader shook his head at first, and then sighed, got up and walked to the wall against the bed, and then pulled out a breathable lattice the size of a human head on it.

As soon as the small compartment was opened, a ray of light poured into the cabin with a stream of fresh air.

The short man lying on the bed had his eyes lit up, propped himself up, and put his head to the lattice, greedily breathing in the fresh air

The other people in the cabin, although they seemed to want to take a few breaths of fresh air, saw that the man leaned over first, so they had to follow behind, picking up some wind blowing from the side to take a few breaths

Such a strange place, such a strange few people, if they are a group of good people, it is estimated that fools will not believe it!

Not to mention the few of them, they all have strange hairstyles that are different from those of the Han people, and those exposed skin have many tattoos and scars!

Even the one who was lying on the bed was taking a big breath of air, and as long as someone approached and took a closer look, they would be shocked to find that he was not lazy in bed, but had to lie on the bed!

Because this person's pair of calves have completely disappeared from the knee position, only two flat trouser tubes are curled at will, which looks particularly awkward.
