The members of the Fresh Art Troupe who took the boat are long gone, they have lived on the ship for three months, and they are already familiar with everything, fiddling with the newly issued muskets is what they love to do recently, the guards carry long guns, and the members of the group issue short guns, and they can practice their hands if they have nothing to do. There are 200 people in Yanglin's escort team who were taken to the merchant ship by Wang Erniu and Zhu Gangguan, and there are 200 and 500 internal servants brought by Li Chengqian who are responsible for guarding more than 100 water steamers in the top ten factories in the east and west, and 100 who are left to guard the small white building in the Furong Garden, so the ten ships in the headquarters of the art troupe need to be guarded by female soldiers with guns.

A big ship equipped with ten Shenwei cannons is Li Chengqian's ship, Yang Lin doesn't like that ship, because there are no epidemic prevention and health regulations on it, but he also has to go up to discuss some things with Li Chengqian, some officials who are humming and chirping on the boat and even dizzy and vomiting make Yang Lin feel very bad, don't rush to go down to the south of the Yangtze River with the prince if you can't sit on the boat! Yanglin's construction is to send these officials who are not suitable for boating back directly in Luoyang, and the waves of the sea will be several times stronger than the Yangjiang Canal in the flood season, and now they are dizzy, and when they get to the sea, they can directly find a coffin to lie in.

Yanglin's mention yì was recognized by Chu Suiliang, the chief of the East Palace, after learning that the long and slightly chubby long history was called Chu Suiliang, Yanglin was surprised for a while, history has changed too much, this famous calligrapher who can only be in the court in middle and old age can now be mixed into the East Palace Changshi, the prince Shaobao can be regarded as a third-grade high-ranking official.

It is really more useful to talk about serious things and find Chu Suiliang than to find Li Chengqian, I am afraid that Li Er has already discovered Chu Suiliang's talent, but all the high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty are now talented, so they arranged for him to Li Chengqian's side and put forward some old and pertinent opinions for this trip to Jiangnan. Besides, Li Chengqian, who recently got into a relationship with Cheng Yin, who got on the boat by nepotism, began to have some research on painting, and was in adolescence. Everyone knows what they like to see, there are a few boats in the fleet that are ridden by the original group of kiln sisters in Zuixianlou, as long as there is no serious business, Li Chengqian likes to go where to pass the boring sailing life, until Yang Lin ordered the guards to bombard the door panel of the ship with a musket, and Yan Zhan warned Gu Qingqing, Li Chengqian did not restrain himself.

"In Chang'an City, my father and queen mother are in charge of me, and even Xiaotai can follow you around, but I have to be trapped in the palace all day long to learn some boring things, and now I come out. Why do you still have to control me? Li Chengqian, who was escorted to the big ship by Yang Lin, said indignantly.

"Don't forget, you are the crown prince, your words and deeds are related to the national body, if it weren't for your identity here, I wouldn't be too lazy to care about you!" Yanglin did what Chu Suiliang didn't dare to do, and said what Chu Suiliang didn't dare to say, naturally he got Chu Suiliang's approval, but he kept following Yanglin's side, and Li Tai, who didn't know what to think, was a little disappointed in his eyes. As he matured, he probably wanted to see Li Chengqian make some ugly noise.

After Yang Lin told him about the situation in Luoyang, Li Chengqian remembered that he still had a daughter-in-law Hou Ying in Luoyang who had not passed through the door, and after he asked about the situation of the Hou family twice, Yang Lin confirmed that this guy was a sperm worm. Hey, it's all the fault of the color map, and the next thing, Yang Lin lost the mind to negotiate with Li Chengqian. It was much easier to discuss directly with Chu Suiliang and make a decision, the ship had not yet sailed to the first stop Luoyang, and the command of the fleet had naturally fallen into the hands of Yanglin.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, was prosperous in the Han Dynasty, and Cheng dù was no less than the capital of Chang'an. The highest period of permanent population was close to one million, and during the Three Kingdoms period, Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian broke through Luoyang and burned it to the ground, until Wu Zetian moved the capital to Luoyang again during the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and pushed the prosperity of this city to the peak, so the current Luoyang is definitely not comparable to Chang'an, and the population of two or three hundred thousand can only make him barely rank in the first-tier cities of the Tang Dynasty.

Take Weishui into the Yellow River waterway, enter the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and go down to the south of the Yangtze River is the general direction of the fleet, the big city Yanglin along the way is planning to hold a concert to promote their goods, Luoyang is the first stop, the fleet is still half a day away from Luoyang, Yanglin received the news that General Hou will lead Luoyang officials to greet him, this guy who rushed to Li Chengqian to be his father-in-law Yanglin's image is not very deep, it seems that his talent is limited to leading troops to fight, and playing politics and marriage is a trick he came up with that is not very clever, Yanglin already expected that Li Chengqian would not rebel, because he had changed history, so it was impossible for Hou Junji to rebel with him, his purpose was to sell things, make money, and collect grain, so he was not disgusted by the grand welcome ceremony organized by Hou Junji, and it was of course a good thing to gather more rich people at the dock.

When the fleet approached the Luoshui Wharf, Yang Lin really saw Hou Junji, who had chatted with him in the palace last month, judging from the clothes of the crowded crowd on the wharf, they were all in Luoyang City, and then some merchants were rich, Hou Junji was crooked this time, after a polite greeting, the merchants were looking for the goods they were interested in, he may not know that the small merchants in Luoyang City have coveted the goods produced by the top ten factories in Chang'an for a long time, Without his greetings, they went crazy looking for the goods they wanted, and the leaders of the merchant ships, Wang Erniu and Zhu Gangguan, were startled, thinking that they were going to rob them!

Li Chengqian, Yanglin, Li Tai and a subordinate official of the East Palace were invited to the carriage by Hou Junji, the affairs of the art troupe were dealt with by Xiliang and scorpions, Yanglin was not worried, the transaction in Luoyang will last for two days, and the commodity promotion concert will be held all day on the second day, Yanglin has a rare opportunity to visit the ancient city of Luoyang and live on the shore for two days.

After entering Luoyang City, I knew that this ancient capital was indeed not much smaller than Chang'an City, but it was less densely populated than Chang'an City, and Yang Lin, who was quite aware of real estate, felt that he should not find an opportunity to buy some real estate in Luoyang, so that the next ten or twenty years of war would not affect the city, and doubling the population was a trivial matter, and Luoyang City, which was flat, was the most suitable for building a house.

Hou Junji as the most powerful person in Luoyang City, his mansion is naturally the most magnificent, a pair of stone lions in front of the door do not know that it is on the mansion of the former Sui official, anyway, it is very grand there, the Hou family is standing on both sides of the stone lion early to greet the prince, not to mention, Hou Junji himself is not very good-looking, several children are quite neat, the eldest son Hou Jie and the eldest daughter Hou Ying are twins, both of which are similar to Li Chengqian's age, and the other two sons are similar to Yanglin, the second son is named Hou Xing, and the third son is named Hou Yi, As for the few little daughters who haven't woken up yet, don't mention it.

The ancients got married, and the parents said that they would be married to each other, Hou Junji proposed to marry Li Er when he lost most of Luoyangwei, Li Er naturally had nothing to do, and promised that once Hou Ying married Li Chengqian, the concubine position would not be able to run away, which was also regarded as a disguised compensation from Li Er to Hou Junji, the two groups of people first made a courtesy to Li Chengqian by the old and young of the Hou family, and then Li Chengqian gave Hou Junji and his wife a nephew ceremony, and Yanglin Li Tai naturally wanted to follow the salute, and arrived at Hou Ying, who was green like a spring peach. The two also called out to their sister-in-law in unison, and the ashamed Hou Ying's face was flushed, but it also made Hou Junji laugh.

The family banquet in the Hou Mansion is quite rich, Hou Junji even moved out a few jars of Yangjiang Daqu that he asked from Li Er, in fact, in the eyes of Yanglin, few people in the Tang Dynasty can make delicious food, what they eat is just a kind of heart, among the ten car gifts brought by Li Chengqian, nine and a half cars are the products of the top ten factories in the east and west, and the son-in-law came to contact the father-in-law's family, Yanglin and a subordinate official are naturally not good to interject, looking at Li Chengqian, who was smiling lewdly, he had to touch the alabaster on her daughter-in-law's face in person, and Yanglin didn't have much appetite, I talked to Li Tai about tomorrow's performance.

Hou Xing and Hou Yi are the closest people to Yang Lin and Li Tai on the escort seat, these two children are about eight or nine years old, which is the most playful age, but today their father gave them the most severe task, let them greet this colt Ye Yanglin, who is about the same age as themselves, and it is best to obtain his consent and join the art troupe.

If the second son is not a descendant bloodline, it was not valued in ancient times, Hou Junji felt that they could break into the side of the most favored second-generation team figures in the Tang Dynasty, even if it was successful, whether it could play a role in the future depended on the situation, the two children who ran to Yanglin's table with wine glasses like adults made Yanglin stunned, no matter how big or small, people first called you brother, and then asked for wine, Yanglin picked up the cup and said: "These two little fart children probably don't know Chang'an wine!" ”

After a glass was dried, Yang Lin looked at the two little brothers who fell in response to the sound and laughed funny, Hou Junji also laughed after understanding the situation, and praised the young age of the Heavenly Bestow Horse, who actually had a good amount of wine that could not be poured in a thousand cups, and wanted to accompany him to drink a few glasses in person, and drank the small one, and the old one came, and the identity of the patriarch was there, and Yang Lin had to take it.

"Brother, when is a thousand cups not drunk, just one cup, okay?" : When he woke up the next day, Yang Lin, who had a splitting headache, said angrily. He didn't remember how many cups he drank with Hou Junji, and he didn't remember when he promised to accept Hou Xing and Hou Yi, anyway, the two brothers came to Yanglin's bed early in the morning claiming to be subordinates, which made Yanglin discover Hou Junji's second ability, talking about things on the wine table.

Early in the morning, the Hou family began to clean up, and after breakfast, they had to go to Luoshui Wharf collectively, and the Luoyang City Commodity Fair will be held at the wharf, and there will be a large-scale performance held by the Tang Art Troupe. The third-class officials and city guards of Luoyang County began to beat gongs and drums early in the morning and shouted to the wharf.

Ten art troupe of the big ship five or five opposite, by the wooden plank firmly fastened together, deliberately leveled wide deck has become a large water stage, the mast of the big ship naturally as a place to hang advertising words, pull slogans, less than two meters away from the shore has already set up hundreds of stalls, this is all in the Qujiang pond practice, the band is fully equipped after the performance will begin, divided into two in the morning and afternoon, each two hours, the whole day of free trade of goods, take the grain discount exchange goods priority.

When the big girl, little daughter-in-law, and strong guy in Luoyang City gathered more than 10,000 people on the dock, the performance began, and this performance is destined to become a talking point for the people of Luoyang City for a period of time in the future. (To be continued......)
