Chapter 462: Where Did Shimizusawa Go?

readx;

Bozhou is probably the Liaocheng area of Qilu in later generations. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Song Dynasty belonged to Hebei East Road, and the state was governed in Chaoling. However, in the third year of Chunhua (992 AD), the Yellow River burst, and the city of Chaoling was destroyed by floods. Bozhou Zhizhi went to Xiaoshun to cross the west, and rebuilt Bozhou City here.

Because the Yellow River was diverted to Hebei Road, it separated the north flow and the east flow. Both the Daimyo Prefecture and the Bozhou Prefecture downstream prospered as a result. Most of the ancient cities were built along the river, which was convenient for water diversion and irrigation, and the transportation was also relatively convenient. It can be seen that the diversion of the Yellow River is not necessarily all bad, at least the Daimyofu and Bozhou have benefited from it.

For example, in the late Northern Song Dynasty, in order to prevent the Jin soldiers from going south, the Song army dug up the Yellow River, causing the Yellow River to seize the Huai into the sea, and the north flow of the Yellow River was cut off, and the Daimyo's Mansion immediately declined. It's just that the Yellow River in this era is really too unstable, sometimes it's like a beast, and the breach is still very scary.

The previous nest tomb was a bloody lesson, but fortunately, the current Bozhou City is relatively high, but there is no need to worry too much about flooding. Over the decades, it has become a large city on Hebei East Road. The number of merchants is also becoming more and more, and it is gradually prospering.

When Lin Zhao and his entourage entered Bozhou, they couldn't help but sigh, although they suffered from floods, Bozhou's business was still very prosperous, as if the impact was not very serious. However, Lin Zhao also knew that Bozhou was far away from the Yellow River after all. The damage will not be severe.

The Yellow River burst and the water flowed north, and the area north of the Daimyo Mansion was really hit hard. It can be said that there is a royal ocean, and the houses and land are all submerged in the river, so it can be said that the people are not able to make a living.

However, the situation of Hebei East Road, which is close to Qilu, is better, and Bozhou looks peaceful and has nothing to do with the flood. But a lot of the time. Just because things are connected by cause and effect and are not affected by the result does not mean that they are completely unrelated.

The reason for the breach of the Yellow River in the Daimyo Mansion may be hidden in this Bozhou. Lin Zhao came here to find the reason. But before that. They planned to go to Bozhou City first. Even if the noble son travels with the United States, it should have a look.

It was already noon when I entered Bozhou City, and I was already a little hungry when I was in a hurry along the way. Lin Zhao smiled: "Let's go, let's go eat something first!" ”

"Good!" Li Cheng immediately led Lin Zhao and others to the Deyue Tower in the city, which was a first-class restaurant in Bozhou City. There is a small lake behind the restaurant. Strictly speaking, it is a larger pond, so it has the reputation of being the first to get the moon near the water. Coupled with the architectural decoration of the restaurant and the high grade of the dishes, it has become the first restaurant in Bozhou, but it is still much worse than the Jiangnan residence in Bianjing.

The people who came to Deyue Tower were mainly local dignitaries and nobles, as well as wealthy businessmen and gentry who came and went from the south to the north. Only such a place. can be worthy of the identities of Lin Zhao and Mu Sihong.

After getting out of the carriage, Li Cheng and Yutong escorted Lin Zhao into the Deyue Tower, one left and one right, and several servants followed.

The guy who ran at the door saw the clothes of Lin Zhao and the others, and immediately said, "Two distinguished guests, please come in!" ”

"Hmm!"

"Is there a private room?"

The guy said apologetically: "I'm sorry, the private room is full, can you two meet in the hall on the second floor, I'll find you a seat by the window." You can see the lake, I don't know what the two of you think? ”

"Good!" Lin Zhao didn't care too much, he was relatively low-key when he went out this time, so he naturally wouldn't be the one who used strong words. Moreover, coming to Bozhou has the meaning of a clear and secret visit, and it is also beneficial to sit in the hall. A few casual gossip may be useful.

The man was relieved to see the two distinguished guests doing this. The most feared thing is that the distinguished guests insist and are not understanding, and they are always the ones who are embarrassed and angry at that time. He led Lin Zhao and Mu Sihong all the way to the second floor. I chose a position near the window, looked up, the water was rippling, and there were pavilions and pavilions around, and there was a faint sound of bamboo. It's also quite tasteful.

"Sit down, too!" Li Cheng and Yutong subconsciously stood on one side, there was a difference between dignity and inferiority, and they could only stand when the master was seated. Lin Zhao didn't have so many rules, and directly asked them to sit down, but the two of them insisted very much. There is no way, the habits formed by thousands of years of hierarchy cannot be changed in a moment.

Lin Zhao didn't force it, and immediately ordered the guys to open another table on the second floor and let Li Cheng and a few servants have dinner. As for Yutong, there is a difference between men and women, as long as they stay by Mu Sihong's side. There is a maid who pours wine and vegetables, which seems to be the regulation of a large family.

"What do you want to eat, two distinguished guests?" The man had the opportunity to take a closer look at the two guests, the man was personable and extraordinary. The woman is beautiful and moving, she is really a pair of young people. Even the servant maids who accompanied her were very good-looking, and they looked extraordinary!

"Pick up a few of your famous dishes!"

"Okay, the side dishes in our store are exquisite and delicious, and the two of you will definitely be satisfied."

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "By the way, I heard that there is a famous dish in Bozhou, what kind of fish leaps over the dragon gate?" ”

"Yes......" I don't know why, but at the mention of this dish, the guy's expression began to be slightly unnatural.

"Husband, I've heard about it too!" Mu Sihong said: "I heard that it is going to be cooked with the koi fish that is a specialty of Bozhou Qingshuize, it tastes good, let's taste it!" ”

"Hmm!" Lin Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, just this dish, the fish leaps over the dragon gate." Anything else is free, just have some exquisite side dishes or local specialties! ”

"Aren't the two distinguished guests local? But the first time you came to Bozhou? The man's face suddenly became a little unnatural.

"Yes, we are from Hangzhou, passing through the local area, and want to taste Bozhou specialties, is there any problem?" Lin Zhao pretended not to know, or asked.

The guy said with a smile on his face: "I didn't ask anything else, but this fish leaping over the dragon gate can't eat ......"

"Why? Is it more troublesome to make? Lin Zhao was puzzled and said: "Mrs. Zai likes it, I am willing to add another fee, please help." ”

"Thank you!" The guy told again and again: "I'm really sorry, it's not a matter of money, and it's not troublesome to make, but it's difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!" ”

"What do you mean? No fish? ”

"Yes, this fish leaping dragon gate must be the koi fish of Shimizu Ze to be delicious and authentic." The guy lowered his voice and said, "But Shimizu Ze doesn't produce koi fish now, we can't deceive you with shoddy quality, right?" We are well-known for our integrity and integrity, and we do not cheat. ”

Lin Zhao's heart moved, and Mu Sihong immediately said, "How come?" How can a lake hundreds of miles from Shimizusawa not produce koi fish? I can't be caught by all of you! ”

"Madame, keep your voice down!" The guy seemed to be very taboo about this matter, and immediately suppressed his voice to dissuade: "Madame is a foreigner who doesn't know anything, and there may be koi fish, but Shimizu Ze has already ......."

"How is that possible?" Mu Sihong said: "We are still going to Qingshuize to play!" ”

"Forget it, Madame, let's make another plan!"

"What the hell happened to Shimizuzawa?" Lin Zhao was puzzled and said: "Could it be that the Yellow River is flooded, and it has been flooded like Chaoling City." ”

"Don't ask too much." The guy waved his hand repeatedly, and it seemed to be a taboo topic.

"Hey, why can't you ask more, what's wrong with Shimizuzawa?" Mu Sihong deliberately asked in a loud voice.

The man seemed to be very embarrassed, and said, "If you really want to know, you can go and see for yourself, of course, I advise you not to go." ”

Lin Zhao and Mu Sihong glanced at each other, and Li Cheng next to him also knew it. They had already heard about the fact that Shimizusawa was enclosing the lake to create fields, and they just wanted to verify it. Before they came, they knew that Shimizuzawa's specialty koi fish was the signature dish of the former Deyue Building.

knew that there was none, but he deliberately said it, either to embarrass the buddy, or to say a few words. Others may not know the condition of Qing Shui Ze, but De Yuelou must know that the koi fish are gone, which is a fact that cannot be concealed. Especially if the guy is reluctant to talk more now, it means that there is something in it.

"Little brother, what about Qing Shui Ze? Can you tell the truth? Lin Zhao lowered his voice and said: "It's not a secret, I have the intention of making water in the next place, and I have taken a fancy to the clear water of your land, and I have the intention to ......."

"This ......" the guy shook his head and said in a low voice: "Distinguished guest, please go back, Qing Shui Ze is gone." ”

"Hey, there's no more of a lake!" Lin Zhao was immediately furious and shouted loudly.

"Not for anything else, because Qingshuize has become a fertile land, and the water of Baili Lake has long disappeared." Before the man could answer, someone shouted and explained why.

Lin Zhao turned around and saw a young man who looked like a scholar, with an indignant expression, as if he was very annoyed.

"Oh, Liangtian?" Lin Zhao's heart moved, and he pretended to be puzzled: "How did the lake become a fertile field......

"What's so strange about this!" The young man said in a loud voice: "Surround the lake and make fields!" ”

"Master Hu, don't talk nonsense!" The guy was very anxious, and hurriedly said to Lin Zhao: "Don't believe it, this person is just talking nonsense!" ”

"Who said it was gibberish?" The young scholar shouted, "I can't tell what they did?" ”

"Master Hu, be careful......" The guy seemed to be kind enough to persuade him.

When Lin Zhao saw this situation, his heart moved, this was a good start. If you find the bitter master, the rest of the things will be much easier.

"Hu Xiucai, what are you talking nonsense?" Unexpectedly, a few people suddenly walked out of the private room on the third floor, and when they saw the young man, they immediately scolded.

"Interesting......" Lin Zhao and Mu Sihong stood aside, completely in a state of watching the excitement.

The person upstairs originally accused the young scholar of scolding, condescendingly, glanced down a few times, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Mu Sihong's face, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and it was very hot.
