For two consecutive days, Lin Jue was spent in the palace. Every day, he only went back to Lin's house to take a nap for a few hours, got up and continued to run to the palace. Not only to supervise the craftsmen to create those few things, but also to seize the time to find the entourage.

That day, the little prince volunteered to discuss with Ma Bin, but I don't know what method he used, Ma Bin actually agreed to go on an adventure with Lin Jue. After that, Shen Tan, the commander of the palace guards, volunteered to go to the soup for the prince. Shen Tan's martial arts are exquisite, and he is indeed a good hand, so Lin Jue naturally can't ask for it. In addition to these two people, five skilled martial arts players were selected among the guards, and Lin Jue formed an eight-person death squad.

Of course, these people are all rebellious people, and it is a little difficult for them to obey Lin Jue's command. Although on the surface, they all said that they obeyed the orders of the prince, headed by Lin Jue. But in private, these people are not interested in Lin Jue at all. Especially Ma Bin and Shen Tan, do they think that the prince thinks too much of this Lin family's son, what is the ability of this weak scholar? It's a burden to carry him.

Lin Jue didn't have the heart to think about this problem, after the team was formed, Lin Jue threw himself into the courtyard where skilled craftsmen were gathered, so that Ma Bin and Shen Tan wanted to discuss the itinerary with Lin Jue, but Lin Jue refused, and both of them were very unhappy.

Two days later, what Lin Jue needed was finally completed in overtime. When Lin Jue dragged out the heavy package, he looked like a thief carrying dirty things. No one knew what was in the package, not even the craftsmen who worked on it.

The little prince summoned the craftsmen to inquire afterwards, but these craftsmen didn't know what they had made in the past two days. The little prince thought they were lying, and angrily rebuked them to punish them. But after listening to their explanations, Guo Kun realized that Lin Jue divided them into different rooms and asked them to build a thing according to the drawings, and then Lin Jue took all these things, and he hid in a room for a long time, and then wrapped them in a package and took them away. As for those drawings, they were naturally taken away and burned by Lin Jue.

Guo Kun was very curious about what Lin Jue had come up with, so he ordered the craftsmen to restore the drawings from memory. So soon after, Guo Kun had a stack of strange things painted in his hand, all kinds of round, square, hooked, and tube-like things. It's all together, and I don't know what it is. Guo Kun hurt his brain for a long time, and finally tore these drawings to shreds in annoyance.

The departure date was set for September 22, and the day before, Lin Jue finally had time to take Lu Wu and Lin Hu to the street. But instead of going shopping, eating, and playing, they went to Dajingzi Hutong in the Yanqiao area in the northeast corner of Hangzhou. It is famous for its fireworks. Forty or fifty houses in the entire hutong are fireworks workshops, and few people enter them because of the bad smell and the frequent violent fires and explosions. Lin Jue stayed there all afternoon, and in the evening, Lin Hu carefully placed two heavy jars on the cart, and the three of them went home slowly.

……

In the early winter morning, the city of Hangzhou was shrouded in a cold frost and dew. The sky had just brightened, and a group of people were boarding the boat on the pier dedicated to the Liang Wangfu at the southern end of the East River. On the dock, Liang Wang Guo Bing and the little prince Guo Kun both got up early in the morning to see them off in person, and eight figures dressed in black were lined up, all holding a bowl of wine in their hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is inconvenient for this king to set up a banquet for you to practice, so he will see you off with this bowl of wine, and when you are triumphant, this king will celebrate your achievements with a feast. But drink this wine to the fullest, and I hope you will succeed immediately. ”

After King Liang finished speaking, he raised the wine bowl in his hand and drank it bitterly. Xiao Wang Ye and Lin Jue and other eight people also raised bowls and drank bitterly. This posture is quite a bit of a tragic sense of 'the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone'. When they had finished drinking, they threw their bowls into the river, said goodbye and began to board the boat.

Lin Juexing was at the end, still carrying one of his large packages. The package was heavier and larger, because it was stuffed with a lot of sugar biscuits, food, and a pile of clothes and other things that Green Dance had made.

"Lin Jue, you stay." King Liang said suddenly.

Lin Jue turned around and was surprised, dragged the package to King Liang and asked, "What else does the prince command?" ”

King Liang's face was silent, and he was silent for a moment and said: "This king asks you one last time, you tell this king honestly, you are sure that you will go." ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Lord Wang, the arrow is on the bow, but you came to ask these questions at this time." ”

Guo Bing frowned, leaned over and whispered in Lin Jue's ear: "This king just wants to know if he fell for you, and if you are just ashamed to get out." ”

Lin Jue sighed and said: "Lord Wang, don't doubt the use of people, what you said that day, why do you doubt me again now." The prince really doesn't believe me, but it's too late to give an order now. ”

Guo Bing frowned tightly and said, "Okay, do you tell me that this trip has a chance of winning?" Will it work? This king wants to find peace of mind. ”

Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "Lord Wang, in order to give you peace of mind, let me tell you that there is an eighty percent chance of winning this trip." Now the prince is relieved. ”

"Eighty percent? You're lying to the king. You're just talking nonsense for the sake of the king's peace of mind, aren't you? So if it's not for the king's peace of mind, but to tell the truth, what are the odds? ”

Lin Jue looked at Guo Bing quietly and said softly: "To tell you the truth, in my heart, the odds are ...... Ten percent, there is no possibility of failure. ”

"Ten percent?" Guo Bing was stunned.

Guo Kun on the side said coldly and angrily: "Presumptuous, are you entertaining us?" I'm not in the mood to joke with you right now. ”

Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "I didn't joke with the prince and the little prince, for Zaixia, once this trip fails, there is no place to die, so I will never allow this matter to fail." So for me, there's only one outcome, and that's instant success. Otherwise, I'm dead, and I have no other choice. I'm only eighteen years old, and I don't want to die yet, so this thing must be successful. This is the answer I gave to the prince. ”

Guo Bing and Guo Kun both looked at Lin Jue in a daze, and after a while, Guo Bing reached out and patted Lin Jue's shoulder and said, "This king believes you, this king doesn't think you are talking nonsense, what you said just now is your true words." Come aboard, and the king wishes you success. ”

"Thank you for your auspicious words, your lord, your little prince, you're going to say goodbye." Lin Jue arched his hand and turned around, dragging his large package towards the boat with great difficulty.

The wooden boat soon left the shore, and several boatmen rowed hard, and the wooden boat made its way down the river to the northern city. On the shore, King Liang's father and son also turned around and returned home with their entourage. Walking on the road, Guo Bing said to Guo Kun: "Kun'er, this Lin Jue is really not simple, and those words just now made me feel uneasy." He is right, but when there is no other choice, there is only one way, and it will succeed. He only thinks about success and doesn't think about failure, so in his eyes, this matter is 100% certain. The same is true of being a human being, sometimes thinking too much is looking ahead and backward, it is better to move forward, only to succeed, and not to think about anything else. ”

Guo Kun nodded and said, "What my father said is true, but it is always a little strange for this Lin Jue to come out of this Lin Jue's mouth." I'm afraid that if he just talks endlessly, but he has no real skills, then it will be a bad thing. ”

"Hehe, my son always seems to have some opinions about this Lin Jue, and he doesn't seem to look down on him. Whether it's lip service or not, this time you can see the real chapter. If he can really succeed this time, then this person is a talent. Then we have to win him over, a hundred times better than those eater staff. Kun'er, don't blame your father for being verbose, my father told you that you will collect talents in the future, don't collect some useless ones. For example, the Sima Qingyi and Dongfang Weiming who you recently stayed in the mansion can only write a few sentences of green words, what is the use? It's vain, flashy. ”

"Father, you are extreme, Sima Qingyi Dongfang has no idea that they have their strengths, so they naturally have their usefulness, leaving them will be of great benefit to the reputation of my palace. Father, can't they be beaten to death with a stick because they couldn't help in this matter? You can't let a rooster plough the field, but you can't let a cow croak for you. ”

"Hehe, my son has grown up, this metaphor is interesting. That's it, you can handle it yourself, your father is old, you will be the king of Liang in the future, and it still depends on you. ”

……

The winter sun is rising, and the water surface is sparkling. The air is cold, and when the sun shines, a layer of white vapor rises on the surface of the lake, as if the whole river is boiling.

It only took half an hour for Lin Jue and the others to leave the Beiguan Water Gate and enter the wide Grand Canal from the confluence of the four rivers in the city. The Grand Canal was built in the Great Sui period, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was very happy to show off his power and majesty in order to inspect the whole country, so he ordered the Grand Canal to be dug connecting the five major water systems. This project costs a lot of money, a lot of money, and millions of manpower. In every stretch of the river, there are many bones and bones of laborers buried. For the joy of one person, the whole world suffered.

Emperor Yang of Sui is actually not worth it, although the Grand Canal has been repaired, he did take a boat to the south to meet his preferences. However, because of the construction of this Grand Canal, the cost of money and money aroused public indignation, and rebels revolted in various places. When the capital of the Great Sui was captured, he died in Yangzhou. Like thousands of people who died on the canal, Emperor Yang of Sui also buried his life for the Grand Canal.

But it has to be said that although Yang Guang built the Grand Canal for his own selfishness, this left a huge wealth objectively for future generations. The Grand Canal runs from north to south, and the waterway is the most convenient mode of transportation when land transportation is extremely inconvenient. The construction of the Grand Canal connected the north-south trade routes, making the exchanges between the north and the south more convenient and fast, and playing an unparalleled role in military, economic and cultural aspects. It can be said that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the great Zhou Dynasty are inseparable from the benefits brought by this Grand Canal.

The surging canal, a section of Hangzhou is more than 200 zhang wide, and can pass huge ships. Hangzhou is the southern terminus of the canal, and the waterways here are even busier. The river is dotted with white sails, and the boats are shuttling back and forth, a busy scene.

Lin Jue stood at the bow of the ship with a surging heart, although there were no airplanes and cannons, no TV and movie computers, and no technology that could not be imagined in this era, but this era has its own charm. In fact, it is difficult to make a general comparison. The average person will definitely think that it is a blessing to live in the technological age of the later generations, but there must be people who want to live in this era. Life is an experience, especially a psychological one, not just a material one.

You don't see many people living luxuriously and materially, but they are at a loss and don't know the true meaning of life. Some even give up on themselves and destroy everything, including their lives. Lin Jue, who lived on Earth in that era, was one of them. Although the memory has been a long time ago, and many injuries have slowly faded, Lin Jue still does not want to recall everything at that time. Lin Jue feels that he is integrating into this era, and he likes this era more and more, even if it has the same pressure, hardships and even crises, but living with goals and motivation is the most important thing in life.
