After Fang Jing's brother and sister got on the passenger ship, Fang Jing knew that this passenger ship was basically not based on seats, but by positions, each position could seat about a dozen people, the ship was divided into three layers, one floor and nine warehouses, Fang Jing was embarrassed, and was ridiculed by Fang Yuan.

"Okay, don't laugh, my brother has never taken this kind of passenger ship, my brother used to take a cargo ship when he and Datou came back from Chang'an." Fang Jing had no choice but to explain to the little girl.

"Brother, can I go up to the boat and have a look?" The little girl was full of curiosity about the boat ride and asked Fang Jing.

"I'll accompany you, I'll be sure to hold on to the boat in a while." Fang Jing said to the little girl.

Fang Jing didn't know what the current flow of the Yangtze River was, but it shouldn't be much different from the previous life, but it was definitely deeper than the Yangtze River in the previous life, after all, the sediment alluvium of thousands of years must be the same, otherwise where did Chongming Island come from at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

After waiting for a while, the boat officially started, fortunately just down the river, only need to be at the helm, there is no need for rowing boatmen, this down the river, but it is a money-saving and fast trip, of course, the person at the helm must have good technology, otherwise it is not as simple as the ship capsizing, but the ship is destroyed and killed.

"Brother, it's so fast, you see, the people over there are so small." Fang Yuan stood on the third floor of the ship and pointed to the distance and shouted.

"Hold on to me, don't let me fall off the boat, or the fish in the river will bite you." Fang Jing looked at this little girl, some of her heads were big, and in the future trip, it was estimated that the little girl would be even crazier.

The brother and sister just stood on the top deck of the boat and looked around, there are still quite a few boats going down the Yangtze River, but for now, the size of the ships varies, and there are even many small boats, which are estimated to be just short distances.

Fang Jing also saw that there were big ships running long distances, of course, there were not many such ships, similar to the Wuya ships, and there were also many ships that ran freight, after all, this is the Yangtze River, and transporting goods from Shu to the most developed place in the south of the Yangtze River must be profitable, otherwise there would not be so many ships on the Yangtze River.

"Little sister, let's go to Yuezhou first, stay in Yuezhou today, and take you around Yuezhou City tomorrow, there must be some delicious food, fun and beautiful things there." Fang Jing shouted to Fang Yuan, who was excited.

The speed of the boat down the river is still very fast, the clothes and hair of the two people blown by the wind are messy, they have to shout loudly to speak, if they speak quietly, they are basically silent, this is also Fang Jing has to shout to say, Fang Jing is afraid that this little girl will not grasp the string of the boat with both hands and fall into the river, and she has to look at this little girl from time to time.

Fang Yuan didn't pay attention to anything, just turned his head and looked around, with a smile on his face, sometimes pointing to a place not far away and saying something to Fang Jing, of course, Fang Jing would also explain accordingly, although Fang Jing didn't know what was around the Yangtze River, or where he passed, Fang Jing's memory was not so good, he couldn't remember much, he could only explain to Fang Yuan according to some vague memories in his mind.

Yuezhou City, that is, now Yueyang, known as Baling in ancient times, or Yuezhou, a city formed by the Yangtze River, and a city formed by the lake, Yuezhou is bordered by the Yangtze River in the north, Dongting Lake in the west, it can be said that it is a city of rivers and lakes, along the Yangtze River can go down to Chuzhou and Ezhou, and in the south, you can go directly to the south with Dongting Lake and Xiangjiang River, that is, Jiangnan Road.

The straight-line distance from Jingzhou to Yuezhou is only one hundred and thirty or forty kilometers, but if you go along the Yangtze River, the journey can be more than two hundred kilometers, and the Yangtze River in this section of the journey, seven bends and eight turns, there is basically no straight line distance at all, fortunately, it is sailing on the Yangtze River, if it is by land, the distance may be farther.

"This little brother, dare to ask where to go?" A young man who was older than Fang Jing asked Fang Jing.

"Go to Yuezhou, why do you also go to Yuezhou?" Fang Jing was curious about how this young man could suddenly come and ask where he was going, and he wouldn't be able to talk to someone dressed like Fang Jing if he was dressed.

It's not that Fang Jing is a little xenophobic about this kind of person, it's just that this Tang Dynasty is like this, with a high status, a person like a wealthy family will basically not talk to someone like Fang Jing who dresses up like a Zhuang family, let alone someone like Fang Jing, and there are some different people.

Fang Jing was carrying a burden, a long sword was inserted in the baggage, a pair of black cloth shoes were worn on his feet, and a pair of pants from his previous life were worn on his legs.

"I went to Suzhou this time, I wanted to go to Chang'an, but I wrote from home that my mother was seriously ill and had to go back." The young man looked at the Yangtze River in the distance and replied to Fang Jing.

"The wanderer returns home, not to mention that his mother is seriously ill, this way is thousands of miles, and it takes half a month to go down the river." Fang Jing heard the young man say.

"The little brother is also a temperamental person, but unfortunately you only go to Yuezhou, if the little brother goes to Suzhou, you and I can go together." The young man looked at Fang Jing and said.

"My sister and I only went to Yuezhou, I'm afraid I can't go with you, and my little sister is just curious that she hasn't taken a boat, so she got on the boat to take a look." Fang Jing took the little sister and said in front of her.

"Little brother, it seems that his family background is not bad, this world is so big, he should take a good look." The young man looked at Fang Jing and said.

"My family is a Zhuang family, and this time I went to Yuezhou just to visit relatives." Fang Jing casually made up an excuse and said.

It's not that Fang Jing needs to make up an excuse, it's just that Fang Jing doesn't like to deal with people from non-Fangjia Village, the world is dangerous, who knows what kind of background this person is, not to mention that he has a little sister with him this time.

With Fang Jing saying goodbye to the young man, he went downstairs, and stood on the edge of the boat on the bottom with his little sister and looked at the banks of the Yangtze River.

"Brother, shall we go to Yuezhou?" Fang Yuan didn't understand why Fang Jing had to tell the person he didn't know just now that he was only going to Yuezhou, maybe Fang Jing didn't want to take her farther away in this little girl's heart.

"Little sister, walking outside, you can't say everything clearly, good people and bad people will not be written on your face, we only went to Yuezhou today, and it is not a lie to him, but I don't like to walk with people." Fang Jing explained to Fang Yuan, afraid that the little girl would not understand.

Fang Jing also explained to the little girl how the world is and how people communicate with each other, but she is basically telling Fang Yuan that she is not a person she knows, so try not to say it too clearly, unless you are from Fangjia Village, or someone who has known you for a long time, other outsiders, try to avoid talking less and listening more.

Fang Yuan has been listening to Fang Jing's words, nodding from time to time, like a very serious little girl, although Fang Jing will also teach the little doll at home to recognize words, but basically Fang Jing can't write a few traditional characters, Fang Jing also thought that after going back this time, he would discuss with the village, when the time comes, you can build a school, so that the little children in the village can learn to read and write, the school does not need to be too formal, but also according to the situation of Fangjia Village to build reasonably, after all, now the little babies in Fangjia Village have grown up, and they can help the family work.

Fang Jing's idea is actually similar to the elementary school in the previous life, teaching Chinese and mathematics, as well as nature, the language is taught by the village, and a textbook can also be formulated, mathematics, Fang Jing can teach it herself, naturally it must be taught by Fang Jing, and the village is not sure if it is not.

Fang Jing's assumption that the language does not need to teach too much Confucianism, and the mathematics uses Arabic numerals as much as possible, which can be switched with Chinese characters.

Fang Jing's idea is good, but for what to teach after the school in Fangjia Village is really built in the future, it is not up to Fang Jing to decide, after all, Fang Jing is just a junior, even if the village is to teach, it is also to teach some Confucianism.

"Little sister, when we go home this time, we won't come out again, and when the time comes, my brother will discuss with the village and them to build a school in the village, and the little children in the village will go to school, and you will also go to school and study." Fang Jing said his original plan to Fang Yuan.

"Brother, are you serious? Can I go to school too? Xiaocao also taught me a song before, called Reading Lang, and said that my brother taught them. Fang Yuan and the children in the village are looking forward to reading and reading, which may break the tradition of illiterate in a rural village.

"Yes, little sister, I taught the book to the big head and the little tree and the grass, and when you go to school in the future, this song will be learned." Fang Jing was now looking forward to it.

"Brother, then I must study hard, I have to recognize a lot of words, and when you are no longer at home, I can still write to you." Fang Yuan's heart was also full of anticipation.

"Okay, I'll wait for your little girl to write to me then, hahahaha." Fang Jing laughed out loud after speaking to Fang Yuan.

The passenger boat sailed in the river, and he couldn't feel the bumps when he sat in the boat, but he was suffering from the boatman at the helm, and there were more corners, and he basically needed to rely on the boatman to control the direction, and the boatmen had increased by several times, Fang Jing didn't know who the boat was, why didn't he see the people in charge of the whole ship, basically those boatmen were in charge, and the same was true for collecting money.

As the sun goes west, the boat sails on the surface of the Yangtze River, which seems simple, but only those who know how to operate this ship.

Time passed slowly, Fang Yuan said to Fang Jing that he was hungry, fortunately he bought some food before Fang Jing got on the boat, otherwise, the brother and sister would have to go to Yuezhou hungry.

"Boatman, when will this ship arrive in Yuezhou?" Fang Jing saw that the sun was already hanging on the top of the mountain, if it was going to Yuezhou at another hour, it would be difficult to enter the city, as soon as the sun set, the city gate would be closed.

"This little brother, turn a corner in front and walk a little further, and you can see Yuezhou City." The boatman pointed to the far bend in front of him and explained to Fang Jing.

"Brother, are you about to arrive in Yuezhou?" Fang Yuan felt too bored to take the boat this day, and only when he got on the boat for a while, did he feel the strangeness of this boat.

"It should be almost there, we will live in Yuezhou City tonight, just find a family meeting, eat something casually at dinner, and we will visit Yuezhou City tomorrow." Fang Jing told Fang Yuan about the approximate itinerary to Yuezhou.

"Okay brother." The little girl is obviously not very interested.

Two quarters of an hour later, Fang Jing took Fang Yuan's hand, stepped on the boundary of Yuezhou, looked at the city gate not far away, and walked towards the city gate with his steps, otherwise after a while, the city gate was closed, and the brother and sister had to live in some guest houses on the dock, although they could also live in people, but most of the conditions were not very good, after all, they were for some anti-living or boatmen, so they were basically shops, but there were no single rooms or upper rooms, and the rich people lived in Yuezhou City, but they would not lose their value in the dock guest house.

It's not that Fang Jing can't live in this kind of dock guest house, it's just that with her little sister, it's a little inconvenient, it's useless for Fang Jing to sleep anywhere, Fang Jing can sleep in the wilderness, not to mention the bed.
