Riding a horse, a horse chased after him.

Zhao Dezhao looked back and saw that it was Zhou Tong, the commander from Tangzhou (later Tanghe County).

Zhao Dezhao turned around. "Is there something wrong with the commander?"

Zhou Tong hugged his fists on his horse and said: "Stay behind, the minister is from Tangzhou, and he knows that there is a wooden bridge over the Deng River in the south, and he can cross the river alone." After crossing the Deng River, you can go directly to Tangzhou and cross the Tang River from Tangzhou. There is a grain post road from Tangzhou to Xiangyang, which can go directly to the mouth of the Tang River and the two estuaries where the White River meets. In this way, if you don't go to Nanyang, you can save a hundred miles of travel. ”

In this era, the most difficult thing is to cross the river, any small river, you can block the trip, and detour for dozens of miles.

So in general, even if you take a detour, you have to take a place with a bridge.

Zhao Dezhao asked: "Since there is such a straight road, why is it not marked on the map?" ”

"On the Deng River from Fangcheng to the south, the wooden bridge is narrow and you can't cross the car, and there are not enough boats to cross the river."

Zhao Dezhao understood, immediately turned around and walked towards Shen Yilun, who was in the car.

Shen Yilun also knew that Zhao Dezhao's two wives were pregnant, and when he saw Zhao Dezhao coming, he hugged his fists and congratulated. "Now that the two ladies are both pregnant, and the royal family has three generations, this is not only the joy of staying behind, but also the joy of the world."

Zhao Dezhao said: "Because of this, I want to go straight to the south from this place, not to Nanyang." This to the south, crossing the Deng River can not pass the car, so it wants to be separated from the transshipment envoy here. The transfer envoy took Wenchen and his family to Nanyang official road, and I assigned a hundred soldiers and horses to escort the transfer envoy. ”

Shen Yilun pondered for a while and said, "It's okay, it's the best of both worlds." In such a hurry, the old decay can bear it, and the cheap ones can't stand it anymore. ”

Zhao Dezhao looked at Mrs. Shen, who was smiling in the carriage, and clenched his fists apologetically: "Hurry up and whip up, it's hard to hurt the lady, we parted ways today, and the lady and her party can also go slowly, and it's not too late to go to Xiangyang in four or five days." ”

A lady can call her wife, but at this time, she calls someone else's wife more.

Calling one's wife among colleagues is cheap, and calling someone else's wife is respectful. But Zhao Dezhao's age difference is dozens of years, and it is more appropriate to call Shen Yilun's wife and son.

Mrs. Shen's surname is Yan, and she has no children in her life, but her husband and wife are affectionate. After forty, the Yan family took the initiative to take Shen Yilun's concubine Tian.

Tian gave birth to a son for Shen Yilun, named Shen Jizong, but he was still raised in front of Yan.

Shen Jizong was nine years old and was already a little adult, so he was held by the guards at this time and rode on a horse.

Sitting next to Yan was Tian Shi, who was less than thirty years old, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and at first glance he was from a small farming family.

Mrs. Yan is also in her fifties, and she doesn't care about the difference between men and women with Zhao Dezhao. She said with a smile: "Don't worry about the old slave if you stay behind, now the officials in Xiangyang are waiting to stay behind, and you must not miss the important affairs of the court because of the old slave." ”

Zhao Dezhao nodded, said goodbye to Shen Yilun, and pinched the little face of Shen Jizong, who was sitting in the arms of the guard, before leaving. "Learn to ride a horse as soon as possible, and after the age of twelve, I will enter Jinyiwei to study, and I will be the general of the Great Song Dynasty in the future."

Zhao Dezhao also has some understanding of Shen Jizong, and this little guy will also be a transfer envoy in the future, and he will be a fierce general.

And their family is good, his son married the county lord, and his daughter also married Zhenzong.

Shen Guifei lived to be eighty-three years old, and for a long time in the Northern Song Dynasty, she had a lot of influence.

After the soldiers were divided into two routes, all the cavalry, although there was a lack of supplies after reaching Nanyang, Zhou Tong arranged for the forward to go to Tangzhou to prepare first.

People can endure one less meal, but horses can't run without food and grass.

That night, Zhao Dezhao and his entourage arrived in Tangzhou, they did not enter the city, and stationed a post station five miles away from the city.

The Tangzhou side prepared grain and grass for the military horses to feed, and also prepared hot water for them.

It's just that there is no military camp to station, and most of them can only sleep in the fields of Liaotian.

Early the next morning, they hurried out of Tangzhou, and in the afternoon, they had already arrived at the mouth of the Tang River, the confluence of the White River.

Today, the two estuaries are a grain post with a large warehouse and a wooden pontoon bridge connecting several parts of the estuary.

When they arrived, they happened to meet Wang Pu and his entourage not long ago, and the boat behind them had not yet finished.

Knowing that Zhao Dezhao had arrived, he hurriedly arranged a ship for Zhao Dezhao and Tong Liang to board the ship, and now with the escort of the forbidden army in advance, Zhou Tong and their 3,000-strong forbidden army can hand over the formalities and return to Beijing after repair.

The Tang River and the Bai River meet at the mouth of the two rivers, and it is only more than 40 miles away from the Xiangyang Han River, and it is still smooth all the way.

"Stay behind, Madame's boat has just passed less than two miles, and we can catch up in a quarter of an hour by small boat."

"There's no hurry, I'm going to rest too."

Zhao Dezhao sat on the bow of a small wooden boat that could only accommodate seven or eight people, and his legs were shaking unconsciously.

Anything is good, but between the legs and the buttocks, a great sin.

Tong Liang was even more unbearable, as soon as he got on the boat, he lay in the cabin, not caring about his face at all, and he didn't have any image.

When he caught up with Pei Ge'an's boat, he couldn't get up, and was carried up by two guards.

Seeing Zhao Dezhao on the boat, Pei Ge'an hid on the second floor and sneered, which made Zhao Dezhao secretly frightened.

This woman is angry, and life is not easy.

She won't be unreasonable, but if she doesn't toss Zhao Dezhao, she is angry.

Zhao Dezhao can only see the move......

"I've seen the second brother."

"You're doing a good job." Zhao Dezhao patted Xu Yongchang on the shoulder and went upstairs in the gap of the suitcase.

Xu Yongchang was secretly happy, and when he saw Tong Liang who was supported by the two, he hurriedly greeted him. "The head of the temple suffers."

Tong Liang couldn't stand up straight, and was still bragging. "I didn't stop immediately, I ran for two and a half days, thousands of miles, and our family suffered a big crime this time......

Ling Jue came down, Linglong was at the top of the stairs, and the two saluted when they saw Zhao Dezhao. "I've seen the prince."

Zhao Dezhao nodded, hurriedly went up the stairs, and just as the second daughter was about to remind, he hit the wooden board on the second floor headlong and made a loud noise.

"Second brother be careful, this boat is too small......"

"Out of the way." Zhao Dezhao rubbed his head, climbed up the stairs in a few steps, and saw Chen sitting on the edge of the simple bed.

Chen is the oldest, but his life is the hardest, and he has always been careful.

When I saw Zhao Dezhao, I burst into tears. "The officials have worked hard."

Zhao Dezhao glanced at Pei Ge'an, stepped forward a few steps and gently grabbed Chen's hand. "Now that you are pregnant, don't cry anymore, it's not good for the child."

Chen quickly wiped away his tears and squeezed out a smile. "The concubine is happy."

Zhao Dezhao said gently: "I also heard about adults in Xuzhou, so father, don't do it." Before marrying me, you were the daughter of the Chen family, and now you are married to me, and you are the wife of the Zhao family. In the future, I won't think about his Chen family affairs, and we will live a sweet life. ”

Chen ignored Pei Ge'an, an outsider and a few maids, so he couldn't help but lean into Zhao Dezhao's arms and cried: "Yes, in the future, the concubine will be a husband and a child, and I won't think about anything else." ”

Patiently comforted this little pitiful, there was a tigress to appease, and Pei Ge'an was much more difficult to wait for than her.

In modern times, this woman is a godless lord.

Dad is a member of the rebel organization, and his brother is the leader of the organization's commando, and he dared to cooperate with the black boss at the age of eighteen to tie up Zhao Dezhao's vote.

It's just that stealing chickens and rice is not a recipe for rice, and he fell into the hands of Zhao Dezhao, and he was conquered again, so he followed Zhao Dezhao.

After following Zhao Dezhao, she is capable, ruthless, and ruthless, so she naturally comes out quickly.

In Singapore, she couldn't get past Yan Fangqing, so she found another way and went to South America to develop, and finally became the economic emperor of several countries.

General love and love, she won't be jealous or anything, but if it makes her unhappy, she will always make Zhao Dezhao unhappy.

And she is still very measured, and this kind of revenge will not go beyond the bottom line, nor will it make Zhao Dezhao really unable to get off the stage, or even annoyed.

So Zhao Dezhao has a headache when he thinks about it......

Chen fell asleep in a daze, Zhao Dezhao got up, walked to Pei Ge'an, who was sitting on the railing, and touched her head. "Bored?"

"It's okay, I watched a good show."

Her maid pursed her lips and smiled, forcing her to leave.

This boat is not a transport ship, it should be specially equipped by a large family. There are two floors up and down, and there are boats in front and back, which can allow four people to rock the oars at the same time, and the speed is not slow.

However, the practicality is very poor, the first floor is the living room, there is a small stage, a total of more than three meters wide, less than ten meters long.

The second floor is even smaller, less than three meters wide and only seven or eight meters long.

Chen occupies one end, and at the other end is Pei Ge'an's bed, both of which are improvised with wooden planks separated by curtains.

The Chen family has Xuanjue and Linglong waiting, and Pei Ge'an has four maids, all of whom have been following her.

As for the chamberlains and guards, they all live on the first floor.

Zhao Dezhao pinched her little face and said softly: "In this era, everyone has their own position, especially me, if I want to make myself more important and irreplaceable, having children is a basic condition." ”

"Don't think I'm still the same as I was at the beginning, I know a lot about this era now. Rest assured, I won't ruin the plan. ”

"But I know you're not happy......"

"Alright, mother-in-law. Now I only think about the industrial plan as soon as possible, and now that there are hundreds of factories to open, who cares about competing with a few women. ”

"It is impossible to have hundreds, start with the important ones first, and implement them slowly, and many factories will also open a laboratory first."

"Why?"

Zhao Dezhao sighed: "Lack of talent......"

The opening of a factory is definitely not just about building a factory and putting machines on it.

At present, the number of literate people does not exceed 5 percent, and the Song Dynasty is now small, and with Xichuan, it has a population of only 20 million.

That is, the number of literate people, not a million.

It is very difficult to find 10,000 of these million people, excluding the young and old, and then removing those who aspire to officialdom and fight wars.

There is still a long way to go to move directly from an agrarian society to an industrial society.

He and Pei Gean can only grasp one direction to develop now, and in the process, slowly cultivate the talents they need.

When the sun set, the fleet finally entered the Han River, and the Xiangyang officials, led by Cai Linghe and Liu Xiao, took several large ships and greeted them at the mouth of the river.
