Chapter 452: Fuzhou

Jia Rudao's words made Liu Ru in a trance.

Yes, if it weren't for the people in the village, how could she have embarked on today's road, I think she should have married and had children a long time ago.

Jia Rudao saw that Liu Ru was silent for a while, obviously thinking about something, and did not speak again, waiting quietly.

"From Xiangyang City to Guangzhou? Wouldn't it be too much trouble."

After a long time, Liu Ru spoke up.

"There is no trouble, it's just that more than 1,000 people must have to take the sea route, Lord Ding must have seen it too, and it is certain that you will suffer some hardships."

Jia Yidao said with a smile.

Ding Daquan doesn't know the nature of the water, he vomited all the way to death, the people in Liu Ru's village live in the north of the Yangtze River, and they have never seen the sea at all.

But then again, there are a lot of clansmen in Liuru Village, and it is obviously the most convenient and fast way to go directly south from Xiangyang City to Qingyuan Mansion and then enter the sea by water.

"Then there will be Lord Lao, and I will also repair a letter to the people of the village."

Perhaps the biggest worry in her heart was solved, Liu Ru rarely smiled at Jia Rudao.

"That's what I promised you. However, "

"But what?"

"You look so good when you smile, there's no need to have a cold face every day, come and laugh again."

In today's era, Jia Rudao's smiling sentence can be regarded as Chiguoguo's flirting with a good woman.

A touch of shame flashed on Liu Ru's face, stared at Jia Rudao for a while, snorted coldly, turned around and left.

In the blink of an eye, a long month has finally passed.

Looking at the more and more ships appearing in front of him, Jia Rudao knew that he would soon arrive at Fuzhou Port.

During this month, except for three or five shore replenishments, the vast majority of people stayed on the ship most of the time. There are only three or five supplies, and the big guys take turns to go ashore to release the wind, not to mention Jia Yidao, even those sailors and soldiers who are on the ship all day long, facing the endless sea every day, are also depressed.

Fortunately, Jia Rudao took the opportunity to make the entertainment of backgammon, checkers, and Monopoly in later generations, and taught the sailors and soldiers on the ship, otherwise I am afraid that before they arrived in Guangzhou, it is estimated that there will be many people on the boat who suffer from depression.

These entertainments, especially the Song Dynasty version of Monopoly that was improved by Jia Yidao, are the most popular among these boring sailors and soldiers.

Every day, you can see soldiers lying on the ground on the five ships, either push-ups or sit-ups, or running around the side of the ship like crazy, and only by completing the punishment quickly can they continue to throw dice.

As for Xu Ruoxi, Shi Zhenxiang and others, Jia Rudao naturally taught them these gadgets.

Compared with the tall and tall of Go, although both Shi Zhenxiang and Xu Ruoxi can, it is obviously easier to play backgammon and Monopoly with a relaxed and happy and even a little gambling pleasure, and it is also more suitable for little melon girls to pass the time. Even Liu Ru has nothing to do these days, and Shi Zhenxiang is a big man in the last game.

Of course, Liu Ru, Shi Zhenxiang, Xu Ruoxi, and Huang Jiaoniang's daughters are much more orthodox than the sailors and soldiers on the ship.

Similarly, because there are enough people who can finish checkers at the same time, they are very popular with several women.

Even Ding Daquan, Yu Jie, Hong Wenhao, Zhao Yi, Zhou Bo and others were extremely interested in these gadgets thrown by Jia Nidao, and they were also a little addicted to Jia Nidao's whimsy.

When Zhao Yi asked to see him, Jia Rudao was accompanying Xu Ruoxi and Shi Zhenxiang to play Monopoly.

Xu Ruoxi and Shi Zhenxiang had a bunch of copper coins and small pieces of silver in front of them, while Jia Rudao, Huang Jiaoniang, and Liu Ru had only a few copper plates left in front of them.

The two girls of Luzhu and Chun Tao watched with great interest from the side, and from time to time they chirped and pointed out.

Now Xu Ruoxi's stomach is becoming more and more obvious, and the calculation time is less than three months before she will give birth, these days because of more activities, the improvement is a little better than before leaving Lin'an. The whole person was in a circle.

Hearing that Zhao Yi was out asking to see him, Jia Rudao smiled and threw the dice in his hand to Chun Tao, so that Chun Tao, who had long been eager to try, came on the field and walked out of the cabin.

"My lord, fifty miles ahead of the port is Fuzhou Port. However, "

"But what?"

"So far, I haven't seen any official ships from Fujian Road come to pick them up."

Jia Rudao looked at the various ships that gathered from all directions and headed towards the sea, and said with a smile: "Zhang Shu and the others should have arrived at Fuzhou Port, right?" ”

"My lord, according to the schedule, General Zhang and the others will have already arrived at Fuzhou Port this morning at the latest."

Zhao Yi frowned and replied respectfully.

"Then don't worry about it, follow these ships into the harbor, and we will go in by ourselves. Anyway, this time I came to find trouble, and it wouldn't be a big deal if they didn't come to greet them. ”

Jia Rudao said with a smile.

Even if Zhang Shu's Beiwei army did not arrive at Fuzhou Port, the officials of Fuzhou Port should have received the letter a long time ago, not to mention that from Qingyuan Mansion to Fujian, Jia Rudao walked leisurely for 30 days, and the Fujian Road should have received the news that Jia Nidao was about to pass by and would dock at Fuzhou Port.

No one from Fuzhou Port has come to greet him so far, obviously deliberately trying to give him a dismount.

"The last will obey."

Watching Zhao Yi leave, Jia Rudao shook his head, and the Fuzhou Port in the distance seemed to be in sight.

At the same time, Fuzhou Fujian pacified the embassy.

Specks of sunlight shine in the hollowed-out carved windows. The case of red sandalwood is a small purple gold furnace with sandalwood curling, and there are all kinds of celebrity laws on the case, dozens of treasure inkstones, all kinds of pen holders, and the pens inserted in the sea of pens are like woods. In each corner of the room were two half-human-high vases of Ru kiln, filled with a bag of white chrysanthemums like crystal balls.

There is a thick crimson brocade dotted with golden flowers on the ground, and the style is obviously not a product of the Great Song Dynasty, but rather exotic. The heat swept into the room through the thick tapestry, warm as spring. Four silver lampstands hung upside down on the four walls, and tall candles lit up the room.

A middle-aged man in a thin brocade robe on the side of the bookcase was splashing ink, and on his fourth Saturday, seven officials in purple scarlet official robes were lined up on both sides, stretching their necks and watching the middle-aged man with bated breath and a snake.

After a while, the middle-aged man quietly put his pen down.

"The adult's pen walks the dragon and snake, such as the clouds and flowing water around the plain paper, the exhibition of the Hanhai and the mountains is still beautiful, how can it be a good word."

"Yes, one stroke down, look at it as if a loose horse came into the air and disappeared; It is like a dragon flying in the sky, coming from nothingness and returning to the void, which is really wonderful. ”

"The word of the adult is not much better than today's family."

Seeing the middle-aged man put away his pen, several onlookers next to him were full of praise.

The square face and broad nose of middle-aged life, the narrow eyelids always give people a sense of drowsiness, and the two long sword-like eyebrows are bent straight to the edge of the temples, which gives people a sense of awe.

Wu Liang, the Fujian pacification envoy, has been serving as the Fujian pacification envoy for more than five years.

Although the rule of the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years was that the local feudal officials changed for three years, but to this day, perhaps the middle officials in the prefect and the prefecture are still the same as always, but the feudal officials such as the pacification envoys, the inspection envoys, and the system envoys in various places have actually become more and more difficult to move on schedule.

Beside Wu Liang were officials on Fujian Road, including those who were on the table for the punishment of prisons and transfer envoys.

Wu Liang seemed to be deaf to the praise of the official who was doing the job, put down the wolf in his hand, and an official in a purple official robe next to him hurriedly brought the copper basin that had been prepared long ago to Wu Liang to clean his hands.

"Then Jia Shixian has arrived?"

After Wu Liang washed his hands, a white-bearded old man in a crimson official robe presented a silk scarf diligently.

"Back to my lord's words, the more than 1,000 troops escorting Najia Shixian have already arrived outside the port of Fuzhou yesterday night."

A lean official with eyebrows like a bamboo pole and a provocative ear bowed in response.

It was Wei Xinzhi, the Fujian transit envoy, who spoke.

With the gradual prosperity of Quanzhou Port, there has been a faint trend of surpassing Qingyuan Port, and Wei Xinzhi, who has been a Fujian transshipment envoy in recent years, has also risen all the way in Fujian Road.

Every year, the tax and silver of the Fujian transfer envoy, that is, the Cao Division, to the imperial court are not much, but the pacification of the envoy is becoming more and more extravagant.

Therefore, although it is only a transfer envoy from Sipin, he is already one of the top celebrities in Fujian's pacification envoy's mansion.

"Where are all those individuals in the Yamen of the City Boss Division now? Sit it all down. ”

Wu Liang waved his hand to signal the five or six officials around him to be casual, and then sat down on the red sandalwood Taishi chair behind him covered with a whole tiger skin.

This tiger skin was also given to Wu Liang by Wei Xinzhi.

"My lord, the people in the Yamen of Fuzhou Port, including Quanzhou Port, have all been escorted to Fuzhou Port Prison after hearing the order."

This time, it was Lu Hong who was talking about the Criminal Prison Division.

As the head of the Constitutional Department of the First Road in charge of public security, weapons, rivers and canals, these things were basically arranged by Lu Hong.

"Xia Guan heard that Lord Najia exterminated a gang of water bandits in Qingyuan Mansion on the first day of the first lunar month. Qingyuan was rewarded by the emperor and promoted to the military department. ”

Wei Ming, the general judge of Fuzhou, stroked the three strands of white long beard on his chin, and said with a strange expression.

"Xia Guan also heard about it, it is said that Shi Xiang threw Yuan Lao's nephew to Qingyuan Mansion for inspection."

"The two young ladies and sons of Shifu are now on the ship of Lord Jia, and it is rumored in the capital, I am afraid that it will not be long before Lord Jia will call Lord Taishan Shixiang."

Several officials from Fujian Road who were seated opened their mouths one after another.

These people have a bunch of old officials in the court, and they have their own channels for all kinds of news in the court, although what they say is speculation, but they have already believed it a little bit in their hearts.

Wu Liang slowly picked up the jade tea vessel on the bookcase, and took a sip slowly.

"I heard that those water bandits are actually assassins, and they went for our Uncle Jia, and I never wanted to be caught by Uncle Guo."
