Chapter 183: On the Pearl River
Zijian and his party walked, two hundred horses were sold by Su Lao, and the silver was given to Chunju Xia Zhu as pocket money, and Zijian took out another 20,000 silver to Su Lao, so that the two of them could live a better life here.
Because they want to "borrow a boat", it is inconvenient to take women, so they have to let them live here temporarily, and wait for the next time they come to Guangzhou Mansion to bring them back to Zhangjia Village. There will be other women in the future, and in this order, there may be the Nth lady in the future, uh, someone's shamelessness has broken through the sky.
Someone is looking for so many women in the harem, and he is not afraid of a harem brawl and a problem in the harem? There is such a thing as a brawl in the emperor's harem, and the women want to step on each other and get the emperor's favor. Zijian thinks that this kind of thing is not the emperor's waste wood, plus those women are full of food and support, and they have nothing to do, think about it, they can only stay in such a small place as the palace, and the women in it are not arrogant masters, let them gather in a small place, idle and have nothing to do, they must want to step on someone who is not pleasing to the eye, and be happy with it.
Zijian is different, in the future, he will not lock women together like the emperor's approach. His approach is very simple, that is, let each woman be responsible for the business development of a region, and tell them that how much money they can make is for her children, and if she wants her children to live a better life and have more money to use, then make good money. Seeing that other ladies give their children a lot of silver, they can only give a little, and in this case, they are not desperately trying to find a way to make money, and the harem calculates that the little thing can make money for the child.
Look, let the harem woman's eyes divert and don't think about calculating the other sisters, and there will be no competition for favor in the harem.
If you really meet a woman who likes to calculate, the method is simple, send her to a certain island, let her face the sea and calculate, and when someone is free, go to the island to see.
As long as you take a boat down the Pearl River, wait at a certain place, and see a big boat passing by to your heart, then get on the boat and ask the host to "borrow a boat".
Speaking of "borrowing a boat", there is also an allusion, that is, everyone often says that Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, what Uncle Liu Huang did, how Zijian learned, this is learning from the predecessors, is there anything wrong.
More than 20 small boats, drifting down the Pearl River, although it is a small boat, even if the smallest boat is loaded with ten volunteers, it is easy to buy this kind of small boat on the side of the Pearl River, it is a boat that has been used by people for a long time, Zijian bought it from the people at a high price, and there is no unwillingness.
Isn't Guangzhou Mansion an international city, it is rare to see foreigners, Zijian just saw a few Japanese people, well, someone is in the inn manor for three days, plus it is not a trade place, and there is time This time is not a trade time, it is strange to meet other foreigners.
Downriver on the Pearl River, the river is 100 meters, not big, if you reach the mouth of the sea, the river surface is spectacular.
There are ships passing by from time to time, and the most speechless thing is the ships above the countercurrent.
The power source of the sail ship is the sail, and the sail is often affected by the wind force, the wind direction, the boat against the current wants to go up, the speed can be imagined, if the wind direction is blowing against the current, the speed of the ship can be a little faster, if the wind direction and the current are along, the speed of the ship is hehe, can only drive the "of" sub-shaped route, from this side of the river obliquely up a little to the other side of the river, to the other side, and obliquely up a little back to the other side of the river, such a back and forth, must be from the original place to dozens of meters forward.
Think about it, if Zijian has a large cargo in the future, it will be transported from Haikou to Guangzhou City, with this kind of sailboat, the speechless speed may take half a month, with this kind of efficiency, what can Zijian say.
A large number of boats went upriver at a slow speed, and as a result, the river was full of boats, and the small boats of Zijian and his party almost collided with other ships a few times.
This situation is too familiar with the situation of highway traffic jams in later generations.
And Zijian is sure that there must be a lot of ships colliding in this situation, but the damage is very large from time to time, and the speed is there.
Fortunately, Zi Jian went down the river, the speed was okay, for the boat against the current, Zi Jian was gloating, how slow the speed was, just make a comparison, if someone walked by the river, after an hour, he would definitely walk much farther than the boat going upstream.
Along the way, I met a lot of suitable ships, most of them went upstream, and the draft of the ships was quite deep, and there were a lot of goods loaded on them! Anyway, there are many ships, but Zijian is not in a hurry.
Zijian held the binoculars and observed the ship for a few weeks, as if he was watching food and eating, and went up to "borrow" the boat when he fancied the boat.
Zijian: "There is a small island in the river in front of you, go up and take a rest." ”
It was the first time for Zijian to sit on a boat for such a long time, especially this kind of small boat, well, someone was a little seasick. Seasickness is something that is innate, not that you don't have a strong body.
At this time, a group of ships arrived at a point on the Humen Bridge in the later generations, and the river surface suddenly opened several times at this location, from the original river surface of a few hundred meters to more than a few or two thousand meters, the water surface was open, and the fluctuations of the tide became more and more large.
In addition, the boat purchased by Zijian has a shallow draft, and the waves come one after another, and the boat rises and falls with the waves, which has the illusion that life is worse than death.
Zijian was just a little dizzy because of his toughness, as for the other volunteers, they had all been "killed", one by one on the boat, the bile was cleaned, lying on the side of the boat retching, Zijian looked at Li Hu with disgust, when he vomited just now, this bastard didn't have time to get to the side of the boat, and squirted out on the spot, this bastard was close to Zijian, and a lot of vomit was on his feet, Zijian almost wanted to slap Li Hu into the water.
This bastard, you have to be a hero, before setting off from Zhangjiacun, Zijian told them that if you want to "borrow a boat", you must get on the boat, Li Xian listened, and the interested ones didn't follow, Li Hu was a bastard, and he promised that there was no problem at the time, who knew that he really got on the boat, and he became this bear-like, fortunately, the boat had no confined space, and the smell of vomit was blown away by the strong wind.
Hearing Zijian's order to go to the island, the volunteers struggled to paddle and rowed desperately towards the island in front.
The boat ran aground on the mud flat of the island, and the volunteers ran off the boat with cheers, and stood on the ground with the illusion that the earth was shaking, and their bodies were shaking, and some of them were falling into the mud.
Zijian kicked Li Hu, who was like a dead dog, and then got off the boat, stepped on the mud, feeling much more steady, and the symptoms of seasickness disappeared quickly.
There was no one on the boat, Zijian raised it with a kick, kicked the boat through a hole, and vented his unhappiness, this kind of boat has too poor ability to carry wind and waves, it can make people worse than death, and it can be used in the river, if it goes out into the sea, this kind of boat will be overturned by a big wind and waves.
The wind and waves here are not too big, but if you continue to drift down, you may have to capsize, and you won't be able to get on this kind of broken boat in the future, so I scolded secretly before walking to the island.
Now that the Volunteers are in this state, let them "borrow a boat", maybe they will be killed by others in one round, and they will give people heads, but Zijian didn't expect them to help.
The middle of the island was overgrown with weeds, and the volunteers passed by, startling a few unknown birds from time to time.
Zijian: "Be careful, this may be a poisonous snake, and no one will be able to save you if you are bitten." ”
This uninhabited island is a paradise for snakes, and if you are bitten by a poisonous snake, things will be in trouble.
Hearing Zijian's warning, the volunteers found the sticks and tapped the grass first when passing by, acting carefully.
When he came to the high place of the island, Zijian estimated that the island was more than 2,000 meters long and 600 meters wide.
Zijian: "Let's go, go to that place." There is a sandy beach and it is a good place to rest. ”
