Chapter 198: Floods

"Please rest assured, Childe has a treasure map and a map, and if you can't find it again, that's my Weisan's incompetence, and my subordinates will definitely come out on top for Childe." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Wei San's words also reassured Wan Qiyang.

"That's good, we still have about thirty days to go, and it looks like there will be rain in the next few days, so we should be faster, because the rain is much less, and we are returning empty this time, and part of the river is still sailing downstream, so we should be shorter than expected." If you have any needs, you can find Senior Song, they are all their own people, and they must be harmonious! Wan Qianyang's words also let Wei San know the relationship between Song Changqing and Wan Qianyang's son.

"Childe rest assured, although we have stayed in Jinyiwei for a while, we still know more or less about the things in the rivers and lakes, so Childe can rest assured, Weisan came out on the boat this time and lost people, and he will definitely earn back face for Childe at that time!" Wei San is indeed a very smart and flexible person, he seems to be a little smaller than Wan Qiyang, and he is also a little smaller, but he didn't expect to be in Jinyiwei for four or five years.

"Okay, a few days ago, you get used to it first, you have to rest more, you should think you're practicing, the boat moves with you, just keep the center!" Wan Qiyang is actually teaching Wei San how to practice, if An Er hears it, he will definitely laugh at him.

"Go back and rest!" Wan Qiyang asked Wei San to go back to his and Li Chang's room.

In this way, Wan Qiyang also spent two weeks on the boat, during which the fortune boat also docked several times, Wan Qianyang also bought the three treasures of the study, he first drew a picture of the cemetery of Liu He, who he had paid attention to at that time, according to his memory, and also wrote down the detailed address of the ancient tomb excavated at that time, this time he only asked Wei San to bring out the gold, silver and jewelry inside, and could not destroy the tomb and other cultural relics.

During this voyage, Song Changqing also had many exchanges with Wan Qianyang, and at the same time, Wan Qianyang was also interested in Song Changqing's affairs in the rivers and lakes, anyway, everyone chatted and said everything. In the end, everyone is also familiar with each other, and even the title has changed a little, Wan Qiyang directly called Song Changqing Brother Song!

"Childe, in one day we will almost arrive at Huai'an Wharf, which is the junction of Huaihe and the canal, and it is also a very prosperous area." Song Changqing came over to chat with Wan Qiyang and play chess.

Wan Qiyang knew that this Huai'an was the hub of Caoyun and the key point of salt transportation, and there were Caoyun Governor's Mansion and Jiangnan River Governor's Mansion. Historically, together with Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou, Huai'an is located in the core area north of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province, adjacent to the river and the sea, and is a transportation artery for the south and north, with unique geographical advantages. Huai'an is full of humanities. In history, there have been great military strategists Han Xin, Han Fu Dajia Meicheng, female hero Liang Hongyu, "Journey to the West" author Wu Chengen, national hero Guan Tianpei, "Old Disabled Travels" author Liu He and so on.

"Childe, the guard officer on the ship said that he would stay here for another day, and he needed to register in the Caoyun Governor's Mansion for the record, because this time he went to the capital to send grain was only for replenishment, so there would be a separate ship, otherwise it would be like Caoyun was one after another, a series of ships, the scene was very spectacular, because I was afraid of encountering water bandits in some sections, so there were fleets in some sections. Childe, why don't we go to Huai'an City for a walk this day? Song Changqing suggested that Wan Qianyang go and have fun, and stay on this ship for more than ten or twenty days. It's really a little stuffy, he really admires the patience of this Wan Qiyang Gongzi, he is much younger than him, but he feels more calm than him, but how does he know that Wan Qiyang has to check the characteristics of these places on his mobile phone every time he goes to a coastal dock city, and then he will record it with a pen to make a backup, and he will go back to the capital in the future, so when he comes back, he has some initiative, so it is very necessary to make a record now.

"Okay, let's get off the ship, we are also familiar with the guards and sergeants on this ship." Wan Qiyang also wanted to get off the boat for a long time to stretch his muscles, not to mention that it was not easy to take a bath on the boat, not to mention that there was a woman in Song Changqing's team, it seemed that this woman was really Song Changqing's confidante, Wan Qianyang sometimes laughed at the two of them. Wan Qiyang just felt that these two people didn't seem to be willing to reveal the hidden friendship between them, it seems that Wan Qianyang still has to find a chance to find out, and then it would be better to match a marriage by himself!

A few people got off the boat, first of all, they were going to prepare a big meal, and the beaks on the boat really faded out of the birds, Wan Qiyang knew that this Huai dish was also famous. Huaiyang cuisine is the general name of Huai'an, Yangzhou and Zhenjiang cuisine; "Huai" is Huai cuisine, Huai'an as the representative of the Huai River region, "Yang" is Yang cuisine, Yangzhou and Zhenjiang as the representative of the Yangtze River (Yangtze River) region. Huaiyang cuisine was formed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was especially prosperous in the Qing Dynasty. Before the Ming and Qing dynasties, Huai'an and Yangzhou were both famous metropolises in the country, and they all had their own food culture and traditions. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, Huai cuisine was already one of the four classical Chinese cuisines that were well-known in China. After the Ming and Qing dynasties, Huai cuisine and Yang cuisine began to penetrate each other and gradually merge, and blended the northern and southern flavors in one furnace, thus forming a unified cuisine.

Huaiyang cuisine, along with Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine and Cantonese cuisine, is known as the four major cuisines of China. Huaiyang cuisine, which began in the Spring and Autumn Period, flourished in the Sui and Tang dynasties, flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is known as the "beauty of good taste". During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the development of Huaiyang banquets formed a climax. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the "Huai'an Mansion Chronicles" recorded: "Huai'an has luxurious food, exquisite system, hundreds of products in the market, and boasts of the river table." This "system" includes the specifications and rules of the banquet. In the "Huai'an Mansion Chronicles" during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was recorded: "To the north of the river, the banquet is very prosperous, and Huai'an (that is, Huai'an Prefecture ruled Shanyang County at that time, now Chuzhou) is the most." Folk or extended guests, furnishing abbots, playing music and miscellaneous Chen, Zhen's Baiwei, a feast is a few gold. "During the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods, there were more records about the Huaiyang banquet.

After everyone came to the wharf and went straight to the city, it was really crowded along the way, and there were more stalls on the side of the road to eat and play, it seems that the life of the people here still took a lot of advantage by relying on this canal, and the standard of living was also improved a lot.

They first entered a restaurant, at this time because it has not yet arrived, so there are not many people, and there are only a few tables, Wan Qiyang of course asked for a box, when he walked through the stairs of the box in the lobby, he heard one of the guests talking: "Brother Zeng, I heard that no, the Jingjiang River has flooded again, the river embankment has collapsed again, and many people have drowned!" Alas......"

Wan Qiyang came to the box and asked everyone to order dishes at will first, and ordered all the famous dishes here. Everyone was really happy, at this time Song Changqing said in Wan Qiyang's ear that he would take Irene to the restaurant inn to write a few rooms, because the ship will not set sail until tomorrow, so he slept in this inn at night, and besides, women have to be cleaned often, which is related to hygiene. Of course, Wan Qiyang agreed! At the same time, I asked what day it was!

Song Changqing calculated in his heart and said, "Childe, today is the third day of the seventh month. ”

Wan Qiyang knows that the flood in Jingjiang, Jiangsu Province has been more than a day or two days, they are still in Huaiyin, the area is in the upper reaches of the Jingjiang River, so there is still some prosperity here, and you can see the tragic scene in a day or two, Wan Qiyang also has some sad mood, but after a while, he will be relieved, he is now powerless, in fact, he is angry that in the history of the Jingjiang area often occurred floods, but the government is also indifferent, even if there is a disaster, there is no one to manage the aftermath, Anyway, the people are miserable!

On the first day of the seventh month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse (1626), the gale started from the northeast of the Jingjiang River, roared angrily, the roof tiles flew horizontally, the wood of the arch stood upside down, the river rose sharply, the city wall was submerged in the huge immersion of the waves, and the floating corpses belonged to each other. The flood receded on the eighth day. There are thousands of people crying and complaining, ten and nine people have drifted away, and there are many deaths and injuries among the old children. The grass is eroded, and the people are difficult, so they peel off the elm bark and eat, the elm bark is all the wild vegetables, and the wild vegetables are all the wheat leaves. There are beggars in all directions, there are those who go to the ravines to die, there are those who die by themselves, and there are those who cut wood and lift the pole, but the officials are indifferent.
