Zhen Qian arrived at Huang Sipu to replenish fresh water and food, immediately lifted anchor, and left less than four or five miles, a fishing boat rowed out in the reed beach by the river, quickly approached the big boat, the hanging basket was lowered from the boat, and soon pulled three people with cotton cloth wrapped in their heads to the boat.

Zhen Qian saw a Jianzhen monk in Daming Temple, that meeting was very unpleasant, the two of them couldn't scoop a pot at all, all beings were equal in his eyes, a flower and a world, a drop of water There are 100,000 living beings, walking is unwilling to kick the ants to death, cutting the flesh for the tiger This monk definitely did it, and it was the kind of one with a smile.

There is no way to talk about it, it doesn't matter if the concept is different, the important thing is that such a person still has a persistent heart and tenacious will, such a person is very terrible, life and death are a relief for them at all, and money is a joke, so Zhen Qian respects this monk from afar, and he can have less contact with it.

In order to reduce the trouble, the ships kept sailing out of the mouth of the Yangtze River, and only then did they look for a remote place to wait for the ships to send the Tang envoys back to China.

The estuary of the Yangtze River has always been changing, and every major river has experienced this situation, and the estuary of the Yangtze River was near Yangzhou 2,000 years ago. The Yangtze River estuary is mighty, but the riverbed ratio is very small, the flow rate is gentle, and under the influence of the sea tide, a large amount of sediment brought by the Yangtze River from the upstream forms sandbars and dams near the estuary, and forms sand spits on both banks.

This process may seem slow, but it happens every second of every day, and that's what it says about sand piling up into towers and dripping water through stones.

The Great Wall is not built in a day, Cui Sheng is now very skeptical of the correctness of this sentence, it has been more than a month in the wolf's den, and when he first came in, he found that the wolf's den was very mysterious, and it may take him a long time to understand here, but half a month has just passed, except for the A and B areas that are classified as secrets, he has stepped on every inch of land here with a pair of feet.

Following the in-depth understanding, Cui Sheng has been shocked by miracles and has nothing to say, if he didn't see those things with his own eyes, no matter who he said to him, no one would believe it, and he would definitely be beaten to death as a madman.

A cave the size of a room can be dug into the mountain in a day, and the houses and roads here are made of rocks and a kind of earth called cement, and the coal is used for cooking and heating, and there is something called biogas.

The first feeling here is that it is clean, everyone in the valley knows that the valley owner is a person who loves cleanliness, and in private it is a cleanliness fetish, if anyone has lice on his body and is seen by the valley owner, the valley owner will beat people if he can't eat, in order not to affect the appetite of the valley owner, the people in the valley have to accept the valley owner with a strange temper.

It's not just people who are clean, it's everything you can see, it's true at home, on the road, where you go to school, and where you work.

There is a river that runs through the east and west in the valley, it is not very big, but the water flow is very abundant, there is a reservoir in the upstream, there are lotus flowers planted in it, a lot of fish and shrimp are raised, countless waterwheels are erected on both sides of the river, I have seen some waterwheels before, they are used to irrigate farmland, but here is not exactly, the waterwheel here is more to replace manpower, rice, flour grinding, papermaking, ironmaking, etc., a waterwheel can replace the labor of dozens of people, the efficiency is very high, this alone is amazing.

The catch here is very fierce, but the people here call them to patrol, and the catch fast with a strange costume is nothing to wander around, which husband and wife will take a look at it if they quarrel, and the beautiful name affects the surrounding neighbors, and it is idle to beat the child on a rainy day, which is not good, it will make you say a so, the child is the future of the valley, what to do if it is broken.

Originally, I thought that I had to investigate secretly to find out the identity of the valley owner, but I soon found out that it was not a secret at all, but the valley owner didn't like to be talked about every day, and in the end it was rumored that it was forbidden to talk about the valley owner.

The valley owner is not mysterious, his own people said after drinking that there are many people in the valley who used to be slaves of the valley owner, but the valley owner does not like people to become slaves, so there is no such thing as a slave here.

Cui Sheng paid attention to the contact with several old people, and soon guessed the identity of the valley owner, which was correct with what he guessed at the beginning, the valley owner was indeed a local family, and none of those families had any secrets of their own.

Wang You turned out to be the valley owner's scholar, which made Cui Sheng immediately interested in Wang You, most of the people in charge of the valley were surnamed Wang, and at first they thought that the valley owner was also surnamed Wang. However, when he saw the names of many managers, the surname Zhen was also noticed by Cui Sheng, although it was inconspicuous, it occupied many important positions, which means that the surname of the valley owner is likely to be among these two surnames.

You must know that before the Tang and Song dynasties, although the family was suppressed by the imperial power and the imperial examination system, and the right to speak in the court became smaller and smaller, the power in the local area was still very large.

From the mouths of some people, most of the first batch came to Hengzhou, which is easier to guess, the surname Wang seems to have no status in Hengzhou, and the surname Zhen in Hengzhou is a big family, so there is no need to continue to guess at this time.

In the valley, as long as you abide by three things, you can be unimpeded, the first thing is to do your own thing, everyone in the valley will have something to do, and those who are unwilling to work will end up miserable; The second thing is not to ask about things that do not correspond to your level, which is related to your own life and safety, and the third thing is not to think that you can get out of here.

At first, he didn't believe it, but after seeing some of the valley layouts, Cui Sheng concluded that it was difficult for him to leave here.

It's no secret how many people there are in the valley, Cui Sheng roughly estimated, it should be almost 10,000, among which the number of craftsmen is the largest, and there are other craftsmen, relatively speaking, there are not many farmers.

The situation here is not surprising, Cui Sheng calculated that the cultivated land in the valley would not exceed three thousand acres even if it was fully utilized.

Strange horse-drawn ploughs, large water wheels, cocoons for sowing, and harvesters for harvesting rice all made Cui Sheng think that it was a fantasy.

Oh, my God! A farmer can easily plant 100 acres of land, but this is still because he is worried that other farmers will have no land to plant.

If you want to know the secrets of the valley, the best place is an agency called the Bureau of Statistics, before February every year, the valley has to make a thing called a statistical report, which has a lot of information, so much so that Cui Sheng is dizzy, so he will temporarily send some people from various departments who can write and calculate to help.

It seems that the most lacking thing in the valley is the reader, the status of the reader in the valley is very high, and the reason why Cui Sheng can quickly get in touch with many secrets is entirely because he knows words.

But when Cui Sheng was seconded to the Bureau of Statistics, he was completely dumbfounded when he saw those statistical reports, and he didn't know what was written on them except for the Chinese characters he knew.

However, the Bureau of Statistics obviously knew that such a thing would happen, and there were still five people in the same situation as Cui Sheng, and there was an experienced old man who learned by doing, allowing Cui Sheng to master many arithmetic secrets that were regarded as treasures by the family within a few days.
