The water transport of the Great Song Dynasty has always been developed, mainly in the inland river ships in the south of the Yangtze River, and the giant oared sea ships are not bad, and the grain cloth in the south of the Yangtze River can go directly to Bianliang along the river, which is also the main material supply of the million-dollar city of Bianliang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even the boulders on Taihu Lake can be transported directly to Bianliang by boat, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which was dug in the Sui Dynasty, to be exact, the Grand Canal that runs through the north and south, began to be excavated in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was time for the Sui Dynasty to be truly large-scale integration.

The main motive of the Sui Dynasty to dig the Grand Canal was to strengthen local control, and the power of the clans in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was strong, and the passage of a canal could better control the power of the clans in various places.

In order to fight the war, this canal was the most favorable support for the northern border in the face of the various ethnic groups in the north, and even played an important role in the expedition to Goryeo.

In the Song Dynasty, although the canal passed through Cangzhou, there were not many ships coming to Cangzhou, because the sixteen states of Yanyun were already Liao, and the significance of going north was not great.

Zheng Zhi has no boats, can't walk the waterway, Cangzhou also has a lot of really rich places, Cangzhou does not have many goods that can be sold to other places, although Cangzhou is close to the sea, it is not a developed shipbuilding area. It is a sea boat, and there is only a small sampan for the people to fish in the near sea.

But at the beginning of spring this year, the Cangzhou waterway began to slowly have a boat, the big ship from south to north, just for the wine here in Cangzhou, from all over the grain to sell to Cangzhou, from Cangzhou to the south to sell the wine.

This is what Zheng Zhi wants, from Qingchi County to the west for more than ten miles, it is the canal channel, the wharf is still just a prototype, the river is also in full swing at this time, and a real wharf is slowly taking shape.

The whole Cangzhou is also in full swing, and there are migrant workers everywhere, ditches that divert water from canals, ditches that divert water from the old Yellow River, and wasteland that has been reclaimed everywhere.

Those old soldiers who were expelled from the army by Zheng Zhi were all organized by Zheng Zhi to open up the wasteland, whether they wanted to or not, in Cangzhou, not a single unemployed vagrant was allowed, but all unemployed were arrested and put in prison, and there was only one way to face it, that is, to open up the wasteland.

Although the means are tough, it is the emperor of Cangzhou Mountain, and Zheng Zhi has little resistance to it. As long as the foundation of the Cangzhou Shi clan is not shaken, no one has expressed any opinions, but more people have expressed their praise for Zheng Zhi's methods. The fact that the displaced people are tightly controlled naturally plays a very positive role in Cangzhou's public security.

Zheng Zhi rode from the dock to the school grounds, and as soon as he arrived at the school grounds, Yan Qing was already waiting.

When Zheng Zhi entered the school, Yan Qing quickly stepped forward to greet him, and said directly: "Xianggong, the person you brought my attention to has news." ”

Zheng Zhi was not surprised when he heard this, obviously he was also prepared in his heart, turned over and dismounted and asked, "How is it?" ”

"Many people in Liangshan secretly went south, and they came back recently, but they also brought back Song Jiang in Yunzhou, and now Song Jiang is already on top of Liangshan." Yan Qing said.

On the way to Liangshan with the people of Qingfeng Mountain, Song Jiang learned that his father had died of illness, and went home to mourn and found that his father had not died of illness.

During this period, Wu Yong also came to the rescue, but Song Jiang still went to Jiangzhou, and was taken care of by Dai Zong, Li Kui and others, and also got to know many characters along the way, urging the judges Li Li, Mingjiang Long Li Jun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Mu Hong, Mu Chun and others.

only wrote a poem for Song Jiang to get drunk in Xunyang Building, in order to express his depressed mind, but it was considered an anti-poem, and Song Jiang pretended to be crazy and stupid and did not escape this dynasty. Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong asked for help thousands of miles, Wu Yong led people to Jiangzhou to rob the law field, twenty-nine Hanzi Jiangzhou gathered righteousness, Jieyang Jiangzhou two sides of the Jianghu forces from then on to Liangshan, Song Jiang all the way back to Liangshan, since then Song Jiang Song Gongming, firmly sat in the second position under the cover of Liangshan.

Zheng Zhi nodded and said slowly: "The thief is very powerful!" ”

Of the people in the audience, only Zhu Wu heard it clearly, and replied: "Xianggong, what should I do now?" ”

Zheng Zhi looked around, his eyes were cold again, and said: "It's time to raise the sword, Baihu Mountain is the first to bear the brunt, Peach Blossom Mountain, Erlong Mountain, Baihu Mountain, these three mountains must be controlled first, and Liangshan must not go far away." ”

Everyone hadn't seen the cold light in Zheng Zhi's eyes for a few months, although they couldn't figure out why Zheng Zhi was so interested in this Liangshan, but they also knew that his father-in-law had a lot of plans.

Liangshan, why is Zheng Zhi so cautious, but Zheng Zhi has a bigger plan, and this plan is directed at Gao Yu. The hatred between Zheng Zhi and Gao Yu is already an inextricable deep hatred, and Zheng Zhi wants to use the problem of Liangshan thieves to solve Gao Yu's big trouble.

Luda heard Zheng Zhi say that it was time to use the sword soldiers, and said with a smile: "Brother, when will you leave?" The sprinkler family is so idle that the birds are out. ”

Zheng Zhi also said with a smile: "I will leave tomorrow, the army will not be ordered by the imperial court to pass out of Cangzhou, only I will wait for my brother to take a dozen people." ”

"Okay, brother is so good!" Luda has been really idle in recent months, and everyone in Jingluo Mansion is busy, but there is nothing that Luda can do, that is, Shi Jin is also busy, and only Luda has nothing to do.

"Go back to Jinglue Mansion first, and when things are arranged, go straight to Erlong Mountain tomorrow." Zheng Zhi said.

Then they turned their heads and went to the Jinglu Mansion.

Zheng Zhi convened a meeting to arrange spring ploughing, the construction of the wharf, the construction of the road from the wharf to Cangzhou, the training of new recruits in archery and equestrianism, the excavation of the salt pond in the spring and the boiling of salt, and the problem of salt goods in Shandong and Hebei.

As soon as things are done, Pei Xuan is naturally the best person in charge, and Pei Xuan must be the first of the hard-working talents around Zheng Zhi.

Spring is always bright, in early spring, everything has just recovered, there is still the taste of autumn and winter, between the fields, there is also a lot of dry yellow, but in this dry yellow, there is a touch of tender green vitality.

More than 20 rode on the official road, all the way to the west, to the northwesternmost border of Hebei East Road.

Horsemen, dressed vigorously, with narrow cuffs and trousers, well-fitting clothing, tight belts, and weapons either exposed or tightly backed.

On Erlong Mountain, more than 1,000 people and horses were trained tightly and orderly, although they were not as rigorous as the Western Army, but they were also stricter than the ordinary forbidden army. The people and horses on Shaohua Mountain are naturally here, but Chen Da Yang Chun went to Shandong with Wu Song.

Li Zhong and the people and horses of Peach Blossom Mountain were also on the road, and the five or six hundred minions were shuttling between the trails, and they came straight to Erlong Mountain.

Cao Zheng has been waiting near the official road for a long time, and it is still the small hotel, and now it is still Cao Zheng's business, specializing in the outpost of inquiring about the news of merchants coming and going.

Seeing more than 20 horses running from afar, Cao Zheng didn't have to think about it to know that Zheng Zhi was coming, and now on this official road, there are naturally very few people who can have so many healthy horses galloping.

Zheng Zhi, Lu Da, Shi Jin, Lin Chong, Han Shizhong, Sun Shengchao, Zhu Wu, as well as Lao Hu and Niu Da with more than ten personal soldiers.
