In the early morning of this day, Wang Lun led the leaders of the families not to go to the Juyi Hall or the interesting school field, but went directly to Liangshan Water Village to watch the naval drills. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, after the Grand Canal was opened from north to south, a basin with Luoyang as the center and Guanzhong Basin was formed in the west; north to the important town of Hebei; To the south of the Taihu Lake Basin, it connects the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River, forming a huge canal system.

The Northern Song Dynasty set the capital of Kaifeng, and vigorously renovated and expanded the Cai River (Huimin River), Wuzhang River and Jinshui River, so that they and the Bianhe River converged in Bianjing, forming the famous "Bianjing Four Canals", these transportation channels played an important role in the politics and economy of the Northern Song Dynasty with Bianjing as the center.

In the second year of Chunhua (991), Song Taizong personally supervised the Bianqu Junyi after the break, and said with emotion: "There are hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers in Tokyo, and there are millions of people.

Wang Lun occupies Liangshan and is close to the canal, so he naturally pays attention to it, and this naval army is the most important thing!

In the duck mouth stall water village, I saw the three Ruan brothers and Yu Jiang, and a few small leaders flying on the grass, leading the water minions to practice kung fu. A team of minions, full of energy, some up, some down, shuttling back and forth. The warships, cleaving the waves, clashing left and right. One will be lined up in a goose-shaped array, and the other will be lined up in a line array. Suddenly scattered, suddenly gathered, flexible and changeable.

Ruan Xiaoqi stood on the bow of the boat with his bare shoulders, pointing and demonstrating. To fight on the water, use long-range weapons more, and if you get close to melee, it is not cheap. Ruan Xiaoqi first demonstrated his flying fork stunt, and he threw the flying fork as fast and accurate as an arrow, and won bursts of applause.

I saw that the humanoid targets seventy or forty steps away from Ruan Xiao were hit by his flying forks one by one. Stopping the flying fork here, "whoosh", Ruan Xiaoqi jumped like a tanuki, raised his hands with both hands, and stood at the top of the mast, his body as light as a swallow. Growing up in a water village, I like to play with water the most. Ruan Xiaoqi's body was vertical again, his hands were divided and closed, like an arrow, he plunged into the lake and made a circle of slight waves, and in the blink of an eye, it was as horizontal as a mirror.

The minions on the boat and the leader of Liangshan on the shore all looked straight at the lake, enough to smoke a bag of cigarettes, but they still didn't see Ruan Xiaoqi appear.

Li Kui likes Ruan Xiaoqi's naïve temperament the most, the two often eat and drink together, but they are in a hurry, and shouted in a voice like a bell: "Muddy account boys, don't hurry up and salvage your Ruan Qi brother!"

Li Kui is also a little watery, but he is not refined, and he said "poof" and jumped into the lake. Only then did everyone come back to their senses and frighten the minions.

Wang Lun knew that this underwater kung fu was Li Kui's shortcoming, and shouted: "Go into the water and get this black head!"

Li Zhu also shouted loudly on the side: "Li Kui, come up quickly, Xiao Qi is so water-based, it doesn't matter if you are in the water for three days and three nights!"

The shore seemed to be boiling a pot, Du Qian was in a good mood, laughed, and sang while shouting: "The black iron bull is not self-sufficient, and he is panicked when he goes into the water, Ruan Qishui swims, and the black cow panics in the water, and he is full of drinks, and he vomits when he goes ashore." Du Qian's singing lyrics were vulgar, revealing Li Kui's shortcomings, which caused a burst of laughter in Bo Nei and on the shore.

Looking at the middle of the lake again, the waves were turning, and I saw Li Kui jumping like a black fish in the water, drinking the water for a while. Grabbed a warship, breathed slowly, and just wanted to climb onto the small boat, but the bottom of the boat turned over.

Everyone was amazed, only to see Ruan Xiaoqi come out, grab Li Kui with one hand, and swim towards the shore like an eagle catching a chicken in the water.

Wang Lun, Li Zhu, Ruan Xiaoer and others stroked their palms and laughed, "Okay! Good! Good! ”

With the help of Ruan Xiaoqi, Li Kui finally climbed ashore, and kept shouting: "You group of birdmen, what are you laughing birds?" It's not to save Seventh Brother Ruan, I'll be like this!"

Ruan Xiaowu saw Li Kui like this, laughed louder and louder, pointed to Ruan Xiaoqi who came and went freely in the water, and Li Kui who was lying on the ground and spit water, and said: "Tie Niu, let's see who saves whom!" ”

The leaders of the family and the minions saw Li Kui like a chicken in the soup, smiling forward and backward. Li Kui also knew that he was embarrassed, grinned widely, and shouted: "What are the laughing birds, the little seven brothers are so water-based, so water-based!"

Wang Lun saw that the lesson he had given to Li Kui was enough, and he looked around at everyone and said: "Horses can be more dangerous, but plowing is not as good as oxen; Giant cars can carry heavy loads, and crossing rivers is not as good as boats; There is a special skill, brothers remember, don't overturn the boat in the gutter! “

The crowd was awe-inspiring.

While he was talking, suddenly a soldier hurriedly ran over, saw Wang Lun and Li Zhuyu and said, "Brother, Brother Ma Ling has something to report!" “

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Grand Canal north of Kaifeng was not the location of the current canal, but was directly west of the Qing River. "The Qing River is rolling down due east, and strong winds are blowing on both sides of the canal." These two sentences are the words circulated on both sides of the Shandong Canal, one is that the canal traffic in Shandong is prosperous, and the other is that the two sides of the canal are not peaceful.

After the Northern Song Dynasty established the capital of Bianjing, in view of the lessons of the Tang Dynasty's feudal towns, it adopted the strategy of "releasing military power with a glass of wine" and the strategy of strengthening the cadres and weak branches, carried out the so-called "integration" of political and military, and greatly expanded the number of forbidden troops in Beijing. "The master of Beijing is the foundation of the world. This is solid and strong, and it helps both China and foreign countries, and what is the trouble in the world". However, the direct consequence of this is that "today, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of war horses, and the Beijing division has gathered all the soldiers and people of the seven fallen countries." than the Han and Tang Dynasties, the people are ten times larger", which greatly increased the demand for food and other materials in Beijing. Therefore, the degree of attention paid to Caoyun is also unprecedented. "In today's situation, the country stands by the soldiers, the soldiers take food as their life, and food is based on Cao."

Due to the increasing military and political expenses of the Northern Song Dynasty, the annual transportation volume of the four canals in Bianjing, especially the Bianhe River, gradually increased year by year. Kaifeng is located in the middle of the world, and the water transportation is developed, but because of the large population, the material consumption is huge. Food, in particular, is consumed on a staggering day. Kaibao five years (972 years) the annual fee of the Beijing division is limited, the affairs are still simple, the annual transport volume of Jianghuai rice through the Bian, Cai two rivers to the Beijing division is only hundreds of thousands of stones, to the Taiping rejuvenation of the country six years, the Bianhe River will bear the transportation volume of four million stones. After the fourth year of Jingde (1007), the annual transportation volume of the Bianhe River was set at 6 million stones, and it was generally maintained around this number in the future. In order to ensure the completion of this huge transportation task, the mode of transportation is mainly based on program transportation. Boats are generally composed of 10 to 30 boats. There are several thousand boats on the Bianhe River alone, and there are no less than 10,000 public and private passenger and cargo vessels.

The Grand Canal was the north-south water artery for the Great Song Dynasty Emperor to transport imperial grain and other materials, and Wang Lun had long seen this piece of fat.

Wang Lun knew that this was Ma Ling and Yang Lin coming back from inquiring about the news, so he and Li Zhu went back to the Juyi Hall.

Seeing Ma Ling and Yang Lin, Wang Lun asked straight to the point: "How is the news of the two brothers, let's talk about it!" ”

Ma Ling took a big sip of tea, wiped his mouth, and said, "It's the autumn queen now, and there is an endless stream of ships transporting imperial grain to and fro on the canal. At that time, the ships transporting the imperial grain had a sign, and all the royal goods in the canal were either planted with the red dragon flag or the green dragon flag. It is divided into two fleets, called the Green Dragon Gang or the Red Dragon Gang. ”

Later generations Wang Lun also heard of the Cao Gang and the Qinghong Gang, but I don't know if it is the same thing. Wang Lun didn't ask too much, and continued to listen to Ma Lingyu's report.

"The officials who transported the grain were all personally sealed by the Imperial Court Transit Division, and they were granted privileges, and the road was unimpeded. Because of the lives of the central government, even the local governments are afraid of them. Their forces are intertwined and powerful, and the people on both sides of the strait are also afraid. These people beat and scolded the slender man who pulled the fiber, and the boatman and the slender man dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. ”

Hearing this, Wang Lun's brows moved, this is useful.

Yang Lin saw that Wang Lun was moved, and said on the side: "My brother sent me along the river to inquire about the royal grain transportation, and it has now been ascertained that at the Qingshen Temple Conference on October 15, there was a batch of imperial grain escort, and the timing was very good. “
