After the well-behaved daughter went down, only the husband and wife were left in the bow, but they heard Kong Jiao whisper: "Husband, there is a sentence that the concubine doesn't know whether to say or not." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhao Wuxian nodded: "What's the matter?" You just say it. “

"What the husband just said about Ziyu, I'm afraid it's not true......"

Zhao Wuxian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled disapprenorovingly: "I know, the master once said, don't talk about strangeness, force, chaos, and god, but children like these whimsical things the most, just say it and make her laugh, don't worry too much." ”

Kong Jiao was a little serious, she made a blessing to Zhao Wuxian: "The concubine once heard that King Zhou Cheng and Tang Shuyu were still children, and the two played, and King Cheng cut a tong leaf into a jade shape, and said to Shuyu: Yu will seal you with this." At that time, they only took this as a joke and did not take it seriously. But Zhou Gong said that the Son of Heaven has no jokes, and the words of the Son of Heaven are written in the history books, recited by workers, and called by scholars. So he sealed Shu Yu in Jin, which is the origin of the Jin Kingdom. ”

"The Son of Heaven has no jokes, and the husband, as the secretary of a big country, should not have jokes. Shu is still young and doesn't understand anything, so she can only listen to her parents' teachings, and her husband uses absurd rumors as a joke to make her believe it, which is like teaching her to deceive people. If the father deceives the daughter, the woman does not believe in her father, and the concubine dares to think that this is not the law of teaching the daughter. ”

Zhao Wuxian's original intention was why let the adult's dirty world disturb the girl's childhood? But Kong Jiao's on-line preaching made him speechless for a while. This woman has a bit of a feeling of "Zeng Zi killed Biao", maybe the people educated by Confucius treat their children's education so seriously?

He always doesn't like her, but I'm afraid there is a reason why he is too serious on weekdays.

But Wuxian was not annoyed, but smiled: "What Xian Mei said is reasonable, I have been taught, I should change it." ”

In fact, Kong Jiao originally felt that it was a bit too much for her husband to talk like this, and she didn't know how to end it, but she was relieved when she saw that Zhao Wuxian didn't think it was angry.

The two people at the bow of the boat were silent for a while, and after half a sound, Kong Jiao looked at the flying shores and said, "It's really fast......"

Zhao Wuxian also answered: "Yes, from Jianjin to Lanyuan, one hundred and fifty miles, it takes five days to take a car, and it only takes one day to go down the river by boat!" If it's downwind, it may be faster. ”

It was his pride, and he began to introduce her to the ship they were aboard with great interest.

The people of the Central Plains are not good at driving ships, and part of the shipbuilding experience of the Zhao family comes from the Onozawa robbers who were recruited, and part of it comes from Xu Cheng, who has been an official in the Wu Guozhou division for a long time. Therefore, the boat that Zhao Wuxian took was also copied from the Wu State, the model was "艅艎", which was a large warship that the prince was riding, and the bow was painted with the pattern of a crane [yi] bird, which had excellent navigation performance and could accommodate more than 100 people, among which more than half of the oarsmen rowed the boat, and it was like a centipede swinging its limbs and feet on the river.

But the Zhao craftsmen also made some modifications to it, such as turning the mast into a double mas, the dark red hull is slender, the sails are white like white clouds in the sky, at this time the wind blows and bulges, the bow is depicted as an eagle with wings spread, the wings include the hull of the ship, and the sharp beak is made of fine iron, which can directly crash into the hull of the enemy ship.

They were escorted by two large wings, that is, large warships, 12 zhang long and 1 zhang 6 feet wide, equipped with 91 soldiers, including 50 oarsmen. The hull is slender, and in addition to being propelled by manpower, a mast sail is added, and in the wind on the river, with a slight adjustment, it can get a lot of thrust, and when it is downwind, the boat can fly like a fly.

The Zhao clan now has three water divisions: the Great River Water Division, the Xilu Water Division, and the Langya Water Division, each with dozens of large and small warships, and the main task of the Great River Water Division is to protect the increasingly prosperous river transportation trade, as well as the Wei Canal that has just been dug; The task of the Xilu Naval Division was to occupy Onozawa in the upper reaches of the Jishui River and put pressure on the Qi National Boat Division; The Langya Boat Master was established by Zhao Wuxian against public opinion, because only he could realize that the future was full of opportunities and risks at sea.

Combined, although it is still a little difficult to fight with Qi and Wu Zhoushi, it is more than enough to protect the waters of the Zhao family.

After Zhao Wuxian talked endlessly, the little embarrassment just now was over, and the next half-day trip, the two were quite happy, and Kong Jiao did not refuse the married life after nightfall.

In fact, Kong Jiao looks beautiful, and it is very in line with the aesthetics of later generations, her figure of up to eight feet makes her stand out among women, and in the mouth of the Spring and Autumn People, a tall woman like her is called "Shuoren". "Shuo people, beautiful clothes", lit by candlelight, after taking off the deep clothes, a pair of long legs made Zhao Wuxian quite amazing, and it was also a beautiful thing to play with, but unfortunately there was no such good thing as stockings in this era, and she was too conservative......

In the early morning of the next day, with the mist slowly dispersing on the river, the fleet turned to the right, left the river, and officially entered the "Wei Canal".

What was presented in front of Kong Jiao was a very different scene from when she married into the Jin Kingdom......

……

"Wei Canal" is like a blue belt, leading the water of the big river from the abyss, flowing into the Pushui to the southeast, as long as more than 100 miles, this can be said to be the first artificial canal in the Central Plains, which is a miracle created by the blood and sweat of hundreds of people.

Originally, in Kong Jiao's impression, Weiguo was a richer state than Lu, but now it has not recovered from the post-war withering.

Kong Jiao went to the deck and looked into the distance, but saw that many places looked like undeveloped barren grass beaches, the villages were crumbling courtyard walls and houses, and the fields were overgrown with withered grass. Along the way, I also saw some patriotic people who cultivated the land, and these people gave the impression of being poor, wearing tattered clothes, and holding farm tools that were basically made of wood and stone. As for the guards who occasionally patrolled the river, there were many soldiers with vegetable faces, rusty weapons, and backs that could not be straightened.

Kong Jiao is accustomed to the uprightness and self-confidence of the Yecheng people, the tiger and wolf warriors of Zhao Jun Yulin, and the poor and cowering of these patriotic soldiers and civilians, this contrast is particularly strong.

She was a little shocked, but a female doctor who was a guard explained to her:

"Although it is only separated by a river, the territory of Weiguo and Zhao is different, from Chaoge to Yecheng, there are prosperous and densely populated people along the way. But this patriotic country, except for Puyang, which has the convenience of Weiqu and is still dense and prosperous, is deserted and barren everywhere, like a ghost......"

"Why is this happening?" Kong Jiao was very puzzled.

"Because Zhao Di has a secretary to govern, the monarch who defends the country is doing ...... mischief"

The female doctor patted her chest and was glad that she was taken captive to the Zhao family in the Great War ten years ago, and later became a Lingque healer, and since then she has no worries about starvation, and her distant relatives are still living a hard life in the country. However, she is also vague about why the recent situation of the country is like this.

Soon, a Yulin guard came to tell Zhao Wuxian: "The ship will go for half an hour, and it will arrive at Puyang." ”

"Maybe Puyang will be different from the way?" Kong Jiao thought so.

But at this time the wind stopped, and the white sail hung pitifully from the mast, not moving.

You can't move such a large boat with just a paddle, and that's where a slender man comes in.

……

The sky was clear, and on the banks of the canal, scorched by the scorched sun, a group of unkempt slender men wriggled like cattle on the banks of the river, and they struggled forward step by step along the embankment with heavy steps and yellow sand. Kong Jiao saw that there were old and young among them, all of them were dressed in tatters, their faces were haggard, the oldest was gray-haired, and the youngest young man had thin limbs, and his frowning brows could tell that he was exhausted......

Most of them leaned forward, which showed that they were all struggling, because the tonnage of the "bow" was really a bit heavy.

Kong Jiao was a little unbearable, and wanted to ask Zhao Wuxian to let the men and horses on the bow go down a little more, so that the advance of the slender men would be easier, but Zhao Wuxian's guard Qi Wan refused on the grounds of safety.

Zhao Wuxian didn't have much mercy for the Wei people who were not under his direct rule, they were not his people, these people, under the leadership of Wei Linggong, had fought against the Zhao clan for many years, and everything they paid now was just the price of the vanquished.

"The slender men all make a living by pulling boats, and compared to the Li people who are still struggling in the mud in the northern part of the country, they are really good, and the Zhao family is never harsh on wages. As a result, Weiqu has become an artery that pulls the economy on both sides of the strait, otherwise the situation of Weiguo is only worse than it is now. ”

Kong Jiao could only carry her daughter back to the cabin, she couldn't bear to see this scene, and at the same time prayed for a northwest wind soon, or the fleet would slide to Puyang as soon as possible.

Although the wind did not blow, Puyang finally arrived.

……

Kong Jiao originally thought that the place was poor, and it would be different when he arrived in Puyang, where the Wei Hou was located, just like the difference between the suburbs of Yecheng and the inside of Yecheng, but he didn't expect it to be the same.

After entering the city, it did not make people feel that Puyang had any brilliant weather, after a few rains in the spring, the loess road near the canal port was wet and the mud behind it was unbearable, and the alleys were also full of garbage, plus every household abandoned the ashes on the road and no one managed it, even with the wind, the dust immediately rose to the sky, so that Kong Jiao's mother and daughter who came here from Yecheng with a superior environment were very uncomfortable.

At the same time, she suddenly realized that Yecheng was already the best planned capital in the world......

Out of the Zhao clan's territory, the rest of the place is the same.

"Dry and dry, in the city of Jun. Su Si wished it, and the ...... of the six good horses "Aside from the glamour of the inner palace room of the Puyang wall, the Lilu where the poor live is not much better than the Weiqu along the way, the same tattered." Many beggars gathered in the city, and as soon as they saw outsiders entering the city, they immediately swarmed around them, and their mouths were pleading, but their eyes glanced at the merchant's cart luggage.

However, Zhao Qing's honor guard was not something they dared to covet, and the Zhao family stationed a division of troops in Weiguo, half of which managed the defense of the canal, and the other half was in Puyang, monitoring Wei Hou and Wei Guoqing's doctor.

The drums and horns were playing, stirring the chaotic air in Puyang, and Zhao Wuxian's car stopped in front of the newly built fortress next to the port of the Waiguo Canal in Puyang, and Zhao Yi, the commander of the Zhao clan stationed in the defense of the country, came to greet Zhao Shangqing with civil and military officials.

"Brother meets cousin!"

A middle-aged commander wearing gold-plated bronze armor, a red coat, and a scruffy beard bowed down, and there was a group of people behind him, not daring to raise his eyes to peek at Zhao Qing.

Zhao Wuxian helped him up, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Ziyin is plump, and he still has a beard." ”

Zhao Yi's erected sideburns covered the entire chin, thick as a lion's mane, the bun on his head was meticulously combed, and a pair of eyes dyed with wine-colored soaking were not as bright as they were back then.

He patted his bulging belly helplessly and said with a smile: "My cousin put me here to defend the country, and there was no fight, so naturally I was resurrected." “

"Maybe this year or next year, you'll be able to go into battle again."

After Zhao Wuxian said this meaningfully, he glanced at the barrier in front of him, this brick-covered small town was the base camp of the Zhao army's defense of the country.

"Let's go in, Ziyin, and talk to me about the current situation of the country."

Zhao Yi understood, followed Zhao Wuxian inside, and after the entourage behind him left a few steps away, he whispered in Zhao Wuxian's ear: "Don't hide it from my cousin, the current situation of Weiguo is like a boiling mouthful, we only need to add another fire, and the hot people's anger against Weihou can overflow!" ”
