In the fifth year of Huichang, in December, the sky was gloomy and snowy, and the canal leading to Chang'an was crowded with ships to enter Beijing, some of which were relatively large and heavy, and there were slender men who worked hard to pull the fiber. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info These are for transporting goods, or some are grain ships.

If you don't pull it like this, this canal has been slowly clogged up since the years due to the war, the embarrassment of stopping the court, the reduction of dredging, and the change of climate and terrain, so most of the passage is by boats. By the fifth generation, because of the lack of people to maintain it, it had been completely silted, so that Song Taizu had no way to move the capital here.

Among these boats, one of the boats, a burly man stood on the bow of the boat, it was Li Chen, "King, please go into the warehouse to avoid it, the king has entered the capital, it is already very dangerous, it is best to have as little contact with people as possible." Behind Li Chen, Fu Bo said.

'Fuber, do you know, I've been here for a long time. Li Chen looked greedily at the mountain, the water, this day, suddenly a cold wind blew, Li Chen saw white snowflakes flying in the wind in the corner of his eyes, and he felt in his heart, "What happened four years ago seems to be yesterday." In order to avoid people's eyes, he first went south, and then boarded a boat in Hanshui and went down the river. ’

That's been more than four years. Li Chen sighed, Fu Bomo was silent, there is one of the rules of ten thousand horses, you shouldn't know it, don't ask. He also knew that Li Chen just needed an audience, and it happened to be him, and if there was a dog next to him, he could play such a role.

Sure enough, Li Chen continued to repeat two sentences, but Fu Bo didn't hear it clearly at all, and he didn't plan to hear it clearly, so he was very competent to be a decoration.

Li Chenxiang has been here for a long time, whether it is this body or his thoughts. Needless to say, Li Chen himself has to think, Sheng Tang A, Sheng Tang weather, how many Chinese want to appreciate it, how many people are ringing to this dynasty. And this Guangtong Canal, as well as the Detong Pass that has just passed, one is the lifeline of Chang'an, and the other is the gate of Chang'an.

The Yellow River is here in Tongguan, turning the major bays, forming a natural barrier in the north, Tongguan is sandwiched between two mountains, like a giant, as if to tell those who have ill intentions towards the Tang Dynasty, with me, Chang'an can sit back and relax.

Guangtongqu worked hard to be a good nanny, transporting supplies from all over the country, including the rations needed by the entire Chang'an people. These things, how can Li Chen not yearn for them, without any of these two, Chang'an will not be Chang'an.

His body is also ringing, in the memory inherited by Li Chen, Li Chen has never been out of Chang'an, and the Sixteen Mansion is the longest place for him to stay, although he carves beams and paints buildings, has no worries about food and clothing, and lives a life of brocade clothes and jade food. But it's a big cage.

Although the original owner was a little stupid, the thought of breaking free from the cage has always existed in his heart. And Guangtong Canal and Tongguan, in his heart, is a symbol of freedom, if you can take a boat in Guangtong Canal, all the way down the water, after Tongguan, he is free. can stay away from those bullies and play tricks on his uncles and nephews.

(Although I have occupied the magpie's nest, you have been thinking all your life that you want to escape from that Chang'an, but you can't do it until you die.) I guess I didn't expect it to happen in that way. Li Chen secretly thought to himself that Li Chen, who had always wanted to leave, died, and was occupied by him, but he used another path to realize his dream of escaping from Chang'an. It's just that he's going back now.

'The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are on the surface of Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, the intention hesitated. Sad, the Qin and Han dynasties, the palace and thousands of rooms have been made of soil, the people are suffering, and the people are suffering. Thinking that his goal this time was to enter Beijing to become the emperor, Li Chen suddenly felt and said.

After this famous Deyuan song was read out by Li Chen, Fu Bo nodded frequently, and felt that he had not chosen the wrong person, such a king who was worried about Li Min was the one he should support the most.

Li Chen turned his back to Fu Bo, he didn't expect that he was coquettish, and inadvertently made Fu Bo more loyal to him, he didn't want to pretend to be forced, but he really felt it.

The closer he got to Chang'an, the more worried he became, could he be a good emperor and let the people live a good life? Every time there is a change of dynasty, it is the people who suffer. Will he be able to revive a declining country? He wasn't sure. But I had to do it head-on. Who could be more aware of the decline of the Tang Dynasty than him?

'Don't be coquettish here. Suddenly, a cloak was over his head, and he was a criminal, and he dared to swagger in the bow of the ship and show his head. ’

Hearing this voice, Li Chen smiled, turned his head and held the soft wattle, it was Xiaohong. is still so hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, obviously worried about the cold, worried about himself, but he doesn't say it directly.

Li Chen took Xiaohong's hand, shook off the cloak, pulled her in, and Da Yu shone on the two of them, just quietly watching the snow slowly drifting down.

Don't worry about Erniang, she can take care of herself. Seeing that Xiaohong seemed to be worried, Li Chen was relieved, "I'm just..." Xiaohong paused and said, "I've just never been that far away from her." ’

The two snuggled up like this for a while, and then walked into the cabin hand in hand, in the small cabin, there was a coal stove, which was steaming, and a woman with a slender figure and her hair was simply tied behind her head, holding a clip, and adding carbon to it. Turning his head and seeing the two of them coming in, he said angrily, 'What kind of fire do I still make, go and call someone in, but no one is called in, and I am also outside, if it is not cold, I will save some charcoal.' ’

'I'm cold, I'm cold. ''Oh, what have you done, take your hand away?'' ''I'm cold, and I'm going to find a comfortable place to keep warm.'' Li Chen stretched out his cold clutches to the woman, and the woman screamed to dodge, "Don't bully Xiaoxiao." Xiaohong dissuaded, but she didn't expect to fall into the clutches of the devil instead, and she couldn't help screaming.

Su Xiaoxiao was smuggled. Li Chen was separated from Suleiman in Basra, and after Suleiman helped Li Chen dispose of the goods, he had to send his goods to Baghdad for sale, and then he had to make a pilgrimage to Mecca.

Li Chen wanted to follow, but the road to Baghdad was not close, and the caravan had to walk for more than 20 days. It's been more than 40 days back and forth, Li Chen is annoyed, and he can buy the same in Basra, although the price is different, but it saves time. After thanking Suleiman, Li Chen led the pack team on the way home.

It's just that I didn't expect Su Xiaoxiao to hide on the boat and sneak back to Datang. Li Chen found people, it was too late. originally wanted to send people back, but because Li Chen had a good latitude and longitude along the way, he was not afraid of getting lost, so he took the shortest voyage and wanted to send people back, so he would be delayed for a month, so he had to let her follow.

I had planned to send her back when the next trade season began. Who knows, Suleiman had to believe that Song had arrived.

Suleiman gave Li Chen a lot of his property in Datang, and even sold the two sea ships to Li Chen. On the way back, Li Chen thought that the two ships were slow, and they had to load goods, which delayed time. So he left the two ships and went first, anyway, there were old qualified bows on these two ships, and he was not afraid that they would get lost or not come back.

As a result, because of Li Chen's purpose, there was a delay on the road for some time, and when he arrived in Guangzhou, the three ships met again. Then the bow brought back Suleiman's letter. The letter did not say that Li Chen wanted to send Su Xiaoxiao back, but asked Li Chen to take care of Su Xiaoxiao.

Suleiman planned to return to Datang again, because he suddenly found that he was used to being in Datang regardless of his living habits or language. Returning to his hometown for a short time satisfied his homesickness, and he wanted to return to Datang again. So, I asked Li Chen to take care of Su Xiaoxiao first, and he would go back next year.

As for why she went to Chang'an, it was very simple, because she hadn't been there. So in the name of her father dragging Li Chen to take care of her, she followed her for the exam.

After making trouble for a while, the two women went hand in hand to whisper to the side, leaving Li Chen alone, flipping through various reports in his hands.

On this trip to sea, he made a lot of money, and the three ships brought tens of thousands of yuan in income. The income is small, and the point is that he has opened up a golden channel with a good income, and many things can be done with a lot of money.

More than a month ago, three ships went out again. Two of the ships are Li Chen's new ships. The new ship, which was 25 zhang long and had a longer mast count of up to five masts, also set sail.

The construction of the ship took up to seven months. It will be built for so long because the length is too long, far exceeding the current Datang sea vessels. Liang Kuaihe is proficient in Lu Ban's technique to get up to gundam, and uses the splicing keel technology suggested by Li Chen. In order to test the strength of the spliced keel, they spent several months building a full-scale model and experimenting with it. After confirming that there was no problem, the ship was built, and the model was tested for seven months.

After that, it took a few more months of sea trials. The sea trials were completed perfectly, and the ship was not inferior to the Exocet in all aspects, in terms of speed and wave-resistant performance, and the wave-resistant performance and load capacity were even better. It was named the Sea by Li Chen.

Putting down this report on the plans related to the boat's travel, Li Chen picked up another one, which was the income report of the theater. The income of the theater, after Li Chen went to sea, there was a big dive. It's not that Zheng Peipei is incapacitating, but because there are many competitors.

Before going to sea, Li Chen showed his hand and pretended to use gunpowder to blow a boulder into pieces, which was very effective in scaring those hidden enemies.

Then he used a fake treasure map, the name of the fake Yang Gong's treasure, to the Silla people, wanting to say that he had been away for so long, and there would never be a fire in the backyard.

As a result, as soon as I came back, I found that the theater was facing a great crisis, and its income had plummeted. Zheng Peipei was so busy that she didn't get better. Finally, Li Chen came back. Not only did he come back safely, but he also brought back a large amount of goods, which temporarily alleviated the crisis.

But it will take a long time to go to sea next time, if Li Chen can't solve the competitors, the problem will only be more tricky, and then the theater will not only be unable to provide income, but he will also lose a lot of money every month. What should Li Chen do? (To be continued.) )
