On the day when the Yang River crossed the Yellow River, Deng Inspector dispatched all the ships of his inspection department, as he said, as he said, as well as some boats from his brother's delivery office, to help transport them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the help of many boats, even though Yang He's team had a large number of materials and horses, they still transported them across the river in one go.

Among them, Deng inspected the big ship and made great contributions, he was a 300-material ship, in addition to carrying dozens of people, it could also carry 300 stones.

"Cao Boat Chronicles": "And if you build a ship with a thousand materials, you must use 100 people to drive it, and stop transporting 1,000 stones." ”

At this time, the standard of ships is like this, calculated by carrying capacity, and boats with a load of less than 400 stone are called shallow boats, which are convenient for driving on the Li River.

The four hundred stones and the above are called sea vessels, which can be transported in the river and by sea.

When the stone is dissolved, one stone of one hundred and eighty-eight catties is equal to one material, and three hundred materials are three hundred stones.

Of course, some people can be added.

However, after all, the Yang River team has hundreds of people, and there are a large number of grains and rice, all kinds of materials, etc., which are complicated to get on the boat, get off the boat, carry and unload, all kinds of things, come and go, and toss until the afternoon, before all the personnel and materials cross the river.

However, it is good to cross the river, and the experience of boats sailing on the Yellow River also makes the Yang River unforgettable for life.

The choppy river, the biting cold wind, and the magnificent scene seem to make people feel a tearful feeling.

That's what it's like to be in the arms of the Mother River.

There is a pier on the north bank of the river, which is where the ships of the Inspection Division are moored.

Then not far from the embankment is the Xin'an Inspection Division, which has the main hall, the officer's room, the instrument door, the archway, the public house, the teaching field and other equipment.

The Xin'an Inspection Division used to be a water horse station, but in the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, it was changed to a patrol department, and the water horse station was invalidated.

At present, the inspection department has one inspector, one collector, two soaps, and 30 archers.

However, Yang He felt that the number of soldiers inspected by Deng was not so much, at most twenty-three people, and the rest might be empty salaries.

He stood on the embankment and looked out, this side is similar to the south bank, the same is the embankment, the grid embankment, the structure of the remote embankment, the remote embankment and the embankment, are also dense with willow forests.

However, there may not be many river embankments here, so there are slightly less rivers and lakes, tidal flats, and sandy soils, but there are more saline-alkali lands, but the embankment is too high, and irrigation is not easy to cause.

The cold wind is howling, the weeds are undulating, and the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low.

There are also rivers that flow south and do not flow into the Yellow River, forming lakes near their banks, which are full of reeds and ditches.

These barren fields, barren beaches, and lakes and depressions can easily provide a large area of locust habitat.

Six or seven miles to the north are rolling mountain peaks, and there seem to be some villages of various sizes on the edges.

The Yang River looked around, and although the Yellow River was crossed at the moment, this place still belonged to Suining.

In the fourteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming government divided Zhaoyi Township in the southwest of Pizhou and its fourteen societies into Suining, and at this time, there were about Xin'an Society, Dongzhuang Society, Qingyang Society, Baishan Society, Huangshan Society and other societies in Suining County on the north bank of the Yellow River.

What you can see in front of you should be where the Xin'an Society of Zhaoyi Township is located, and from the east of the Qingyang Society, it is close to Yanwu Township on the border of Pizhou.

Then the northernmost Huangshan Society is close to the Xuzhou border and the Pizhou border.

Of course, at this time, Suining County was also under the jurisdiction of Pizhou, and together with Suqian, there were two subordinate counties under the rule of Pizhou.

Moreover, different administrative units of later generations, at present, townships, communities, markets, and towns are only geographical concepts, and at this time, they are called townships and societies, and only refer to a place in general, just as later generations called the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, Taihang Mountain, and the Yellow Mountain.

The Lijia system, or the grass-roots unit at this time, is a map system, and it is a tax-paying unit.

There is also a quasi-official road here, along the north bank of the Yellow River, leading from Pizhou to Xuzhou, and then the Xin'an Inspection Department is stuck on the side of the road.

The water and land are important and the official roads run through, and there are mountains and forests nearby, and bandits are easy to haunt and harass trouble, so it is really necessary to set up a patrol inspection department.

It's just that in such a large area on the north bank of Suining, more than 20 archers from the Deng Patrol Inspection District want to manage it, and they are indeed powerless.

……

When Yang He and others went to the embankment, Deng Sheng's younger brother Deng Guan also greeted him on the embankment, and his delivery office was only ten miles away from the inspection department, and only thirty miles away from Pizhouzhi.

The two brothers also look very similar, they both have a chubby face, and their official robes are also very similar, they don't look like officials, they look like businessmen.

They went down the embankment and entered the main hall of the inspection department to speak, Deng Guan was more talkative than his brother Deng Sheng, first of all, he greatly appreciated Yang Xianggong's great achievements in defeating the thieves, and said very exaggeratedly that Yang Xianggong was stationed in Zhaoyi Township, and the people of Li were worry-free.

Then he changed the topic and transferred to his delivery office, implying that his delivery had a large number of supplies and weapons, military uniforms, knives and guns, etc., and Yang Xianggong would definitely have a good price if he wanted it.

He also saw that this boatload of things surnamed Yang must be a rich man.

Yang He is also very interested in this, and the Mingji delivery station specializes in transporting military supplies and some tribute items, which is definitely a fat difference.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were three major post offices, express shops, water horse posts, and delivery stations.

This is the water horse post, that is, the post station, which specializes in delivering envoys and reporting military affairs.

The biggest feature of the express shop is that the official document is urgent, no matter how many pieces of the shop, regardless of day and night, cold and heat, wind and rain, must be "delivered immediately", not stranded.

According to the ancient law, they pass through a hundred quarters a day and a night, a shop every three quarters, and they must travel three hundred miles during the day and night, which all depend on people.

Finally, there is the delivery station, set up in the ninth year of Hongwu, specializing in transporting military supplies and other things, equipped with ambassadors and husbands, horses, boats and cattle, and can also get up and down their hands to reap benefits.

In the words of later generations, the three major postal systems of the Ming Dynasty, the express delivery shop is equivalent to postal express mail or registered mail, the water horse post is equivalent to the general mail, and the delivery station is equivalent to postal logistics.

The man surnamed Deng said that he had a large amount of military supplies, and Yang He must have believed it.

But at present, Yang He is not in the mood to listen to his sales, looking at the sky, he thinks it is better to rush to the abandoned village as soon as possible.

……

Yang He politely rejected the suggestion of the Deng inspection brother to send someone to guide the way, and he had already seen the Zhuangzi on the embankment.

However, he also agreed to the invitation of the two of them to hold a banquet in the inspection department tomorrow to receive the wind and wash the dust for themselves.

His team has been lined up at the side of the inspection department, and their respective things have been picked, and then Yang He ordered to set off, Han Daxia took Hu to find out the employment brothers, Zeng Youyu and Chen Qiuao opened the way in front, he and Minister Yang rode horses behind, and the younger brothers and sisters loaded them into the back basket.

Zhang Zhugong and the three of them held bird guns, and Yihu guns followed behind the horses, and then Han Guan'er, Luo Xianjue, Yan Dezheng and others followed, leading the war horses.

The old man of the indoctrination team carried a thin soft back, carried a rosewood official hat chair and followed with a small table.

In the end, Qi Youxin led the killer team, as well as women and children, young and old, and the baggage team, carrying a full burden and carrying the wounded.

Everyone had a relaxed smile on their faces, and when they finally arrived at the place, they had a home again.

They walked north along the inspection department, and this time it was close to Shenshi, but the sun was still in the sky, and as far as the eye could see, a patch of artemisia grass shone brightly, and occasionally saw salt purlins, drowning in the barren grass.

These vast and flat lands are basically deserted, and they are full of desolation.

However, it is much better than the south bank of the river, and at least you can see people. (To be continued.) )
