Chapter 119: The Yellow River

There are two roads from Tianshui to Lin'an, one is to Chang'an, Chang'an is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the road is developed, and Lin'an can be reached along the official road, but Liu Yuetian is reluctant to go to Chang'an, so he can only pass through Hedong and Henan counties from Tianshui, and pass through the Central Plains to Lin'an, this road is a densely populated area along the way, there are as many as a dozen cities with millions of people alone, it is the economic prosperity of the Great Zhou, Liu Yuetian naturally chose this road.

On this trip, Zhang Xingsan brought nine guards with him, ten people each rode a wind-chasing horse, and Liu Yuetian rode rhubarb, not to mention the grain, and also brought three huge glasses, each worth a hundred taels of gold.

In addition to Zhang Xingsan's group of guards, Liu Yuetian also brought five pigeons, of course, the pigeons are not for food, but for sending letters.

In this era, there are already pigeons, and human beings also know that pigeons can quickly transmit letters and start artificial breeding, but there are still very few pigeons that can really deliver letters, not that pigeons are stupid, but that the people who train pigeons are very rare, and they all belong to a sect called the Beast Taming Gate, the door people are called animal trainers, these people can not only train pigeons, but also dogs, cats, chickens, ducks and even large animals such as tigers and leopards, they have their own ability to control the beast and are arrogant, only those big forces can afford to invite them.

Previously, Liu Yuan had several animal trainers under his command, and these people and Liu Yuan's hidden guards were stationed in various big cities to collect intelligence at any time, and after Liu Yuan was destroyed, his subordinates naturally collapsed and ceased to exist.

Of course, the use of pigeons to deliver letters is very fast, even a thousand miles away can also be reached in one day, but the method of pigeon training is very mysterious, outsiders do not know, but for Liu Yuetian, the ability to train animals is unparalleled in the world, he came to this era has one of the first two personal skills is penetration: can instantly probe what the other party thinks, and at the same time tame the intelligence of less than ten percent of their own creatures, even if Liu Yuetian's intelligence reaches one hundred, but ten percent is only ten, no matter how stupid human intelligence can not be lower than ten, only animals, and almost all animals meet this rule, so to speak, these skills are simply specifically used to tame animals.

Pigeons, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, all animals are obedient and obedient in front of Liu Yuetian, they are beasts in the dense forest, and they will be docile like lambs when they are caught by Liu Yuetian.

Of course, in the eyes of Zhang Xingsan's small furnace and Shi Le, Liu Yuetian's various miracles are no longer strange.

Two days later, the group left Tianshui and headed towards Hedong County.

Hedong County is also nearly a thousand miles away from Tianshui, a few people are tired to find an inn to rest, to a location if there is a fun place to turn around, all the way to walk around took half a month.

On this day, everyone came to the edge of a big river, this big river is really wide, the narrowest place along the river is enough to see a hundred zhang, the river water presents the color of the earthy yellow, turbid abnormal, squatting on the bank and holding a pool of water is enough to have two percent of yellow sand.

"This is the famous Yellow River!"

Liu Yuetian looked at the big river and asked.

"That's right, Lord Wang, crossing the Yellow River from here is the land under the jurisdiction of Hedong County."

One of the guards next to him nodded in reply.

"I have heard of this big river since I was in Chang'an, and it rushes down into the sea for thousands of miles, and I don't know how many people have been fed along the way, but because of the turbulence and violence of the river, it has been diverted several times in hundreds of years, and each time it is a disaster, and countless people have died because of it."

The Great Zhou Dynasty has a vast territory, from south to north and from east to west are tens of thousands of miles away, among which there are countless mountains and rivers, the most famous is two big rivers, one is the Yellow River and the other is the Yangtze River, the two rivers go down from west to east, just like the two belts of the Great Zhou territory.

Since ancient times, the two rivers have been flooded, and I don't know how many people want to completely solve the floods, but in front of this dragon-like river, human beings are just weak ants, and they can't do anything even if the flood is raging.

Although the floods continued, the huge floods that swept away everything did not occur very often, and there were only ten times in the more than 700 years since King Wu of Zhou established the Great Zhou.

"Only ten times."

This is a text written by a historian thirty years ago, on average once in more than 70 years, and hundreds of thousands of people have died and millions of people have been displaced each time, but in the eyes of historians, once in more than 70 years, this is already a blessing.

"The Yellow River is so huge, to completely solve the flood with the current level of science and technology is tantamount to wishful thinking, only to set up reservoirs and dams everywhere, and then divert tributaries to solve it, when he is peaceful every day, I want to try it!"

Liu Yuetian looked at the Yellow River and felt something.

"My lord, there is no ferry here, just now I asked a passer-by, there is a ferry ten miles upstream from here, we can cross the river there."

Just when Liu Yuetian sighed just now, Zhang Xingsan had already sent someone to inquire about the news, and there were countless residents along the Yellow River in the Central Plains, so he naturally knew it by asking.

"Okay, let's go!"

Everyone walked slowly along the river, and after a while, they came to a small city, saying that it was a city, but in fact it was a bazaar formed by the ferry, there was no city wall to block, anyone could come and go at will, and after a long time, it formed a place of commerce, inns, taverns, casinos, and everything, just like a small city.

There is a stone monument standing next to a wide road, with four large black lacquer characters written on it: "Mengjin Ferry".

"Everyone, let's find a tavern to eat first, and then cross the Yellow River after resting."

Liu Yuetian entered the Mengjin ferry with the guards, one of them was a tall horse, and their extraordinary clothes attracted the attention of the people around them, but they didn't pay attention to it after looking at it twice, this is the only ferry within a radius of 100 miles, and many dignitaries and nobles often come and go, and Liu Yuetian's people are worth a few glances.

Everyone came to the front of a restaurant, the three-story façade is very spacious, the door sign is written "Xian Laiju" three big characters, the font is elegant and chic, quite a master's style.

"That's it!"

Several people dismounted one after another, two of them led the horses to find forage to feed, eleven horses, one Lu ten chasing the wind, just this horse is worth a thousand gold, naturally there must be someone to feed.

Liu Yuetian and others walked into the restaurant, and a bartender greeted them.

"What do you want to eat?"

"What do you have here?"

Zhang Xingsan asked.

"We are the largest restaurant in Mengjin, with all kinds of food from the north, south, east and west, as well as the Yellow River carp that has just been caught, which is the freshest."

"Okay, what are the best dishes for twenty, another bucket of rice, and is there a private room by the window upstairs?" I haven't seen the Yellow River, and the river has a flavor! ”

Liu Yuetian replied.

"Okay! The upstairs room is ready, a few of you come with me to ......! ”

The bartender could see that these people were either rich or expensive, and his shouts were exceptionally loud.

Everyone followed the bartender to a private room on the third floor, and the ferry was seen from a distance from the window.

"Not bad, line three, reward!"

Liu Yuetian waved his hand, Zhang Xingsan took out a piece of loose silver and handed it to the other party, this piece of silver is also about five yuan, which is worth a month's salary of the bartender.

"Thank you a few masters, thank you a few masters, the little ones bowed to a few masters!"

The bartender's mouth couldn't even close.

"Go, let's get the food served!"

Liu Yuetian waved his hand.

"Don't worry, the little ones will be arranged!"

The silver opened the way and everything was easy to discuss, and after a while, a table of meals was served, such as steamed carp, white chopped chicken, red stewed duck and so on.

"Come, let's eat!"

Liu Yuetian ordered everyone to pick up chopsticks and eat, these people are in the prime of life, and they usually train hard, and the amount of food is twice that of ordinary people.

"Little Five, Little Six, go and call Lao Tian and the old ghost up."

There were two guards watching the horses below who did not eat, and Zhang Xingsan ordered the two to replace each other.

The two of them walked down quickly, but after a while, there was the sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs.

"Lord Wang, it's not good, there's a gang of gangsters down there who want to steal our horses!"

A man ran into the private room and whispered.
