Chapter 79: Divine Fortune Zhaogong Stone

(The above is wrong, Taihu Lake stone should only be four or five zhang.) )

The huge stone mountain, which is as high as four or five zhang, more than 30 zhang long, and more than 20 zhang wide, is carried by a huge ship with a length and width of dozens of zhang, cleaving the waves on the surface of the lake, moving slowly, and the huge waves seem to turn the entire lake over.

Such a huge ship, such a large rocky mountain, and not a tailwind, it is difficult to drive it with paddle wheels and oars alone, so thousands of thick ropes are hung on the hull, and thousands of people are desperately pulling on the shore of the lake, so that the ship can move forward slowly.

On the shore, thousands of men, shirtless, revealing tanned muscles, barefoot, thick ropes strangled in the flesh, shouted in unison, leaned forward desperately, and pulled the giant ship forward with great difficulty.

Behind them were hundreds of officers and soldiers, with whips in their hands, as if driving away animals, and they cursed and scolded along the way, and when they saw the slightest displeasure, they snapped down with a whip.

Hey~Yo Hey~Hey~Yo Hey~

The neat and majestic trumpet rippled in the sky above the lakeside, with a little desolation, a little helplessness, and a little sadness and indignation......

Zhao Hao was shocked by the scene in front of him for a moment, and the sad and long sound of the horn made him feel an indescribable sorrow in his heart.

"What song does they seem to be singing in the midst of their trumpets?" Zhao Hao turned to Zhao Ling and asked.

Zhao Ling's face showed a look of indignation, and he sang slowly: "The sky is vast, and the water is vast. Blood and tears are dry, and the sun is gone. Once you encounter Huashigang, you can't return to your hometown......"

Zhao Ling's hoarse voice added a bit of sadness and tears.

Zhao Ling sighed: "This is going to Bianjing, not to mention thousands of miles, trekking all the way through mountains and rivers, I don't know how many people can live......"

Zhao Hao stared blankly at the Taihu Lake Stone and was silent.

This is a stone that has been sealed!

At this moment, he was fortunate to meet him, I don't know if it was luck or sadness......

This piece of Taihu Lake stone carried a huge ship, thousands of servants, and the freight alone amounted to 300,000 yuan. In the prefectures and counties through which it passed, there were those who demolished water gates, bridges, and dug city walls, and the cost of destruction was even more incalculable.

300,000 yuan, which is enough for the annual livelihood expenses of 10,000 households, even for a large household like the four major prefectures in Jiangning, it is a huge amount of money, but it is only used to transport a stone!

What's even more outrageous is that Zhao Ji was very happy with the stone, and gave him the name "Shenyun Zhaogong Stone" and sealed the "Pangu Marquis", and because of this, the stone rewarded Zhu Mian and named him the envoy of the Weiyuan Festival.

In addition to transporting stones, there is also an ancient tree planted in the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Mian and others took a fancy to it, because the branches are huge, can not pass through the inland river bridge, can only be changed by sea, the result is that "the boat and the people are gone", the tree and the people are buried in the sea, becoming the ancient tragic version of the big tree into the city together.

It is no wonder that Fang La's Mingjiao will spread its power in the land south of the Yangtze River, and it will quickly sweep the entire Jiangnan after it is revealed. A group of untrained rabble, untrained in battle, occupied half of the Yangtze River in just a few months.

A great and prosperous Song Dynasty, the wealth of the whole country, unparalleled in the world, but Zhao Ji played with the stone to make the people miserable, the people unveiled the rod in all directions, and finally was lightly hit by the Jin people, like glass to smash.

Zhao Hao looked at the vast water surface and listened to the desolate and distant sound of the trumpet, and his heart couldn't help but be at a loss.

At this moment, he deeply felt the helplessness in his heart, he had no way to stop Fang La's uprising, nor was he powerless to prevent the tragedy of Hua Shigang from continuing to unfold.

Perhaps, according to the terrain at this time, he can summon a team of elites who are proficient in water, scuttle the giant ship that transports stones, and then sink the boulder and the ship into the water...... It's just that this is still useless, and the officers and soldiers are very likely to consume more manpower and material resources to salvage this sunken stone, which is counterproductive.

The seemingly omnipotent system, Zhao Gongzi, who was dominant in Jiangning City, looked so pale and powerless at this moment.

He did a number of good deeds every day and accumulated two or three hundred thousand merit points, but he could only watch these slender men do their best and carry heavy loads under the whip of the leather whip, and then die one by one on the way to carry the stones......

"The sky is blue, and the water is vast...... Dried ...... blood and tears ...... not allowed to return to their homeland"

The singing voice of nothingness came with the wind, like a sacrificial song given to him by the slender men.

One day, if you have a chance...... I, Zhao Hao, will never be willing to be free in front of me, I will see the sun when the clouds are cleared, and the Song Dynasty will be bright!

At this moment, his mentality has quietly changed after all......

**************

A ferry port outside the city of Hangzhou.

The ancient trees are green, the willows are hanging low, and on the waterway outside the city, a gorgeous merchant ship is coming slowly, with a big flag with the word "Zhao" on it, and it is hunting with the wind.

After more than half a month of traveling, Zhao Hao and his mother finally arrived in Hangzhou.

Hangzhou City, once the capital of Wu Yue and the Southern Song Dynasty, is one of the eight ancient capitals of China. Its beautiful scenery is known as the reputation of "paradise on earth", which is not inferior to Jiangning.

There is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the beautiful West Lake, the Buddhist holy land Lingyin Temple, and the seven-mile Fuchun River...... In addition, the brothel village of Qinglou and the romance of scholars are also comparable to Jiangning.

It's just that these don't have much attraction to Zhao Hao, and what he heard and saw along the way weighed on his heart like a big stone.

The Zhao family is in Hangzhou, so naturally there is no need to live in an inn, there are several Zhao family's houses in the city, and Xie Yun chose a house in the north of the city to live.

In the first few days, Xie Yun took Zhao Hao around to collect rent and settle the accounts of various stores, but found that Zhao Hao was not interested in these at all...... After a few days, the young master's rent was freed by thousands.

Xie Yun saw that this baby son was really not a businessman, so he also weakened his heart, so he simply let him move on his own, just don't mess around in the city.

Zhao Hao was bored, and as if he was in Jiangning City, he took Zhao Hao and a family slave, took a carriage, wandered around in Hangzhou, and appreciated the customs of this Wuyue capital nine hundred years ago.

"The water is bright and sunny, and the mountains are cloudy and rainy. If the West Lake is compared to the West, it is always appropriate to wipe it lightly. "Su Bai two embankments, willows and willows, the water ripples, the smoke waves are misty, the lake is painted and flailing, just like the Qinhuai River is as romantic and lively, the distance is the mountains are empty, the green and green are green, the beautiful scenery is like this, like heaven.

Zhao Hao drove on the shore of Xizi Lake, admiring the beautiful lake and mountains like Xizi, listening to the unique Wu Nong's soft words, and the depression in his heart was slightly relieved.

After visiting for a long time, it was already the middle of the day, Zhao Hao chose a nearby shop, ordered a table of dishes, asked for a pot of good wine, and invited Zhao Ling to drink together.

Harmonious, Zhao Hao tasted the exquisite wine and dishes on the table contently, only felt that the dishes of Suzhou and Hangzhou were slightly different from Jiangning, especially the West Lake vinegar fish, although it was carried forward in the hands of the fifth sister-in-law of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty, but at this time it was extremely famous, its fish meat is tender and beautiful, with crab flavor, fresh and sweet and sour, and it tastes unique.

This shop is not big, but because it is close to the West Lake, and the price is fair, it is thrifty and salty, and there are many dishes, including exquisite and delicious West Lake vinegar fish, as well as large pieces of cooked mutton and dog meat, so the business is excellent and almost full.

"Shopkeeper, come three catties of cooked mutton and make five-cornered wine." A rough voice attracted Zhao Ling's attention.

I saw a tall man, carrying a big blue baggage, standing in front of the shopkeeper and a head taller. After asking for wine and meat, he found a table, sat down, and the big burden slammed on the table, startling the person opposite and hurriedly avoiding it.

The big blue burden was extremely heavy, I was afraid that it was not sixty or seventy pounds, but this person carried it like he was carrying a bag of cotton.

And in the long baggage, a long object was inserted obliquely, although the thing was tightly wrapped in blue cloth, but Zhao Ling was well-informed, and he could see at a glance that it must be a good knife, I am afraid that it weighs twenty or thirty pounds.

Zhao Ling's expression tightened, and his eyes stared at the man more and more intently, and he even forgot to eat the wine and food.

A large plate full of steaming lamb was served, and then a large jar of wine came, and the man rolled up his sleeves and began to drink and munch.

Three catties of cooked mutton, the man swept away.

The jar of four or five catties of wine is also like a cow drinking water, carrying the wine jar to drink a few sips, then eat a few pieces of mutton, and a few more mouthfuls, after eating the mutton, the wine is also empty.

The whole process, but the kung fu of the small half of the incense, saw Zhao Ling's eyes straightened: "This person is really heroic!" ”

Zhao Hao was originally thinking about his thoughts, but when he saw Zhao Ling so moved for the first time, he unconsciously looked over there. Sure enough, I saw a big man in Tibet, who was getting up, lifting the big blue burden on the table, and was about to leave.

In a hurry, Zhao Hao didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly inquired about this person's attributes.

If you don't look at it, when you look at it, you will be stunned.

Damn, how could this person be here?

Zhao Hao was excited, suddenly rose to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Strong man, please stay ......"

Before he finished speaking, the man had already strode out of the store and disappeared into the crowd outside the door.

PS: There is one more chapter to live and die tonight......
