Yang Nan's delicate face, the slightly upturned corners of his mouth with a bit of playful taste, the whole person looks full of aura, and he can suddenly make people feel sunny when he smiles...

It's a pity that he has lost a little weight, if he is a little fatter....... Zhao Shangchen quietly glanced at Yang Nan, and sighed in his heart that it was a pity, but he would never dare to reveal these thoughts in his heart.

As soon as Yang Nan sat down in the flower hall, he hurriedly went up and bowed respectfully: "Lady, you just said that it is beneficial for us that Wei Zhongxian is gone, and the day after tomorrow will pass the court, so can a certain father be released." ”

"It's not that easy." Yang Nan stretched out his jade hand, washed it in the basin brought by the maid, then dried it carefully, and then picked up a red cherry from the porcelain plate on the table and sent it to the small mouth.

"Mother, my father is in prison and has suffered a lot; The three of us brothers worked up and down just to rescue our father as soon as possible. If my father is released one day later, we will have one more day to sit still. Lady, please, you can go to the county government and talk to Ma Qingquan......"

"Say what? Do you think this is the barracks of Yerong City? Your father went to court and filed a case. Besides, Ma Qingquan is a member of the prince's faction, and it may not be useful to say it, do you understand? ”

"Ma Qingquan is the prince's person? Hiss ......"

Zhao Shangchen gasped. If it weren't for Yang Nan mentioning it, he never dreamed that Ma Qingquan, a small magistrate, would be related to the prince of the current dynasty.

Although Yang Nan's father has a high official position, he is a member of Prime Minister Li Linfu's faction, and there is no compatibility between Li Linfu and the crown prince, even people like him who have a little bit of contact with officialdom know about it.

In this way, even if Yang Nanken played her father's signboard to find Ma Qingquan, I am afraid that it will be in vain, and it may even backfire.

Zhao Shangchen panicked all of a sudden, these days he always thought that Yang Nan was there, as long as she was willing to come forward, she could always ensure that her father was okay, and now even this last life-saving straw could not be relied on, and he was suddenly mourned.

"Lady, what can I do? What can I do about this......"

"What to do? You're a pig! When I entered the door, I told you about Song County's falling into the water, did you really talk about me playing? ”

"Oh, go find Song Xiancheng to help......"

"You! Well, if you insist that you are a pig, I am afraid that all the pigs in the world will cry. Ma Qingquan is the prince's person, and Song Xiancheng doesn't even have a backer behind him, and he is an idle eater in the yamen on weekdays, don't you know this? Now Ma Qingquan wants to clean up your Zhao family, what is the use of you going to Song County? ”

"But, lady.......... ouch, lady, you are a bodhisattva of great mercy and compassion, if you have any ideas, you can tell so-and-so, as long as you can save a certain father, so-and-so will make you a cow and a horse......."

"Hmph, I'll make you stupid as a cow or a horse. Forget it, it's better to expect you to open your mind than to expect the sow to go up the tree, just remind you, on the first day of junior high school, let's go to Lingxian Temple to burn incense, who did we meet? ”

"When I met the official envoy woman surnamed Jin, lady, what does this have to do with Song County?"

"What were you telling me that day?"

"A certain ....... also said that the slut relied on the pampering of Arima Qingquan, the dog's eyes looked low, and the eyes were higher than the top on weekdays, domineering, and on the fifteenth day of the new year, she pretended to go to the temple to burn the first pillar of incense......"

"Tomorrow is a dozen?"

"Fifteen....... oops!" When Zhao Shangchen said this, a wave of blood suddenly surged on his angry face, and the whole person suddenly jumped three feet high, laughed loudly, "Lady, so-and-so understands, so-and-so understands." There is also a wooden bridge in the Lingxian Temple, so I will send someone to do it, hahahaha............."

Zhao Shangchen laughed excitedly, and his voice vibrated Liang Yu, but suddenly saw Yang Nan shaking his head with disdain while eating cherries, Zhao Shangchen's laughter couldn't help but stop abruptly, and the whole person was like a bulging balloon that was suddenly pricked with a needle.

"Lady, what's wrong, is so-and-so wrong again?"

"You're not wrong." Yang Nan glanced at him, then turned his head to Yahuan next to him and said with a serious face: "Cuihua, go and see if the pigs in the city are crying." ”

The girl named Cuihua had a purple face, trembling lightly, suffocating!

Zhao Shangchen was deflated, and said with a sad face: "Lady, what do you mean, you are a fairy, how can a certain ordinary man guess your thoughts, this .........."

"What is this, I just fished Song Xiancheng out of the water today, and tomorrow you will rush to fish up Ma Qingquan's favorite woman, and dare to make an appointment with the bridge of Xipu, right?"

"This ............"

"When I didn't say anything, pig!" Yang Nan grinned, no longer paying attention to Zhao Shangchen, who was killing his brain cells, turned his head to the girl next to him and said, "Cuihua, are there still cherries?" Bring some more. ”

On the way to Qiongzhou, Li Ang was asking Fang Daniu for riding skills. Another entourage, Fang Dayong, is the son of the old housekeeper of the Fang family, twenty years old, two years older than Fang Da Niu, but he is a head shorter, and he is not as skilled as Fang Da Niu's bow and horse.

Li Ang was taught the essentials of riding by Fang Daniu, and his sense of balance was better than ordinary people, and when he arrived in Qiongzhou at noon the next day, he could already beat his horse and gallop wildly, and he would no longer feel shaky.

Of course, it is still impossible to hide those difficult movements in the stirrup, which requires not only personal agility, but also a certain tacit understanding between people and horses.

Qiongzhou was founded very early, and Yizhou, Bajun (Chongqing), Juancheng and known as the four ancient cities of Bashu, or the hometown of Zhuo Wenjun, a talented woman in the Western Han Dynasty.

Now it is the time of the Tang Dynasty, and Qiongzhou is the first stop of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, where Li Ang goes, but seeing the boats fighting for the road, the carriages and horses blocking the road, and the business travelers gathering, it can be said that it is the first state in the south of Tianfu.

Qiongzhou has jurisdiction over seven counties: Yizheng, Linqiong, Pujiang, Linxi, Huojing, Anren and Dayi. The Fang family has shops selling salt in all seven counties, but they are all controlled by Fang Tongxing's people. When Leon and Francis arrived, the shopkeeper was polite on the surface, but in fact he was very cold.

Li Ang didn't care, along the way, he also found a characteristic of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the phenomenon of crows is extremely prevalent. Near those inns and post houses, almost all the places where they could write were inscribed with poems.

Some poems are fresh and elegant, some are majestic, some are difficult to understand, some are humorous, and of course, there are some crooked poems that make people very painful, after all, not everyone is Li Du.

Everywhere Li Ang went, he would always look at these inscriptions, and the reason why the readers of the Tang Dynasty were keen to write poems in inns, inns, and wine shops was mainly because of the lack of media for cultural transmission in this era.

With good works, if you want to spread it in the world, the best thing is to find a famous prostitute to sing, but there are only a few people who can afford to be a famous prostitute. These inns, inns, and wine shops are full of people, which is conducive to spreading, and they are not costly, so they have naturally become the best choice for scholars to become famous.

Think about it, every post road in the Tang Dynasty is full of all kinds of poems, all the way, like wandering in a sea of poetry, it is really worthy of the Tang Dynasty of poetry.

This ubiquitous inscription made Li Ang naturally think of a few lines of poetry in the afterglow:

The wine entered the bowels of Hao, and seven points made into moonshine,

The remaining three points roared into sword qi.

As soon as the embroidery mouth is spit out, it is half of the Tang Dynasty.

Francis was a little unimpressed by Leon's unscrupulous work, but he had no other choice but to believe him.

At noon the next day, the group of four finally came to the mantis col at the junction of Huojing County and Linqiong County. Here is about forty miles away from Qiongzhou City, and there is Baizhu water flowing through.

However, as far as the eye can see, every hillside is like a monk's head, bare, and all the plants and trees that can be used to burn the fire are almost cut down. Walking along the atractylodes water, you can see many abandoned salt wells.

Leon stopped his horse and looked down at the abandoned salt wells, but saw that the well was dark and dreary.

"How deep are these salt wells? Can salt still be produced? ”

Fang Daniu replied: "There are deep and shallow, the deep ones are five or six zhang, and the shallow ones are more than three zhang. Some also produce salt, some brine contains less salt, and the well is too deep, extracting brine is laborious and time-consuming, and the gains outweigh the losses, so they are abandoned. Most of the salt wells are mainly abandoned because there is a lack of firewood and grass in the surrounding area. ”

"Nothing else, help me buy all the wells that still produce salt. Xiao Fang, pay for it. ”
