Hearing Li Su mention his daughter's knowledge, Zhao Fu's face became a little sad, the person who taught his daughter Yifan is indeed a famous teacher, and he is also a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty, but if possible, he would rather his daughter be an ordinary person who doesn't understand anything.

"Your Royal Highness, the other party can't be regarded as Yifan's master, it's just that he saw that Yifan was talented and intelligent, so he taught her for a while, but it's a pity that this person Shenlong can't see the head and the tail, and now he doesn't know where to travel?" Zhao Fu sighed and said.

"Oh, who the hell is the other party sacred?" Li Su was curious, but he didn't notice Zhao Fu's strange appearance.

"The other party is Yuan Tiangang, Yuan Old Immortal!" Zhao Fu bowed and replied.

Li Su was very surprised when he heard it, he didn't expect Yifan's master to be Yuan Tiangang, no wonder he was so knowledgeable, although the other party was a magic stick, but not everyone could do it, astronomy and geography These are just the basics, and what kind of pinching and calculation must be done with one or two hands, otherwise how can it be so easy to fool others?

Just when Li Su was very unscrupulous and calculating the people of Dengzhou, on the winding Yellow River, there were several merchant ships going downstream, just reaching the section of the Bianzhou River, among which the largest merchant ship in front of it, there were several people standing in the bow, among which two people dressed as men in front of them climbed on the side of the boat, as if they were about to salvage something from the water, and behind them stood a short and fat merchant, and two other people in Taoist uniforms stood behind the three people, looking down and talking about something.

In this somewhat strange combination, it is obviously the two Taoist priests who are the leaders, the older Taoist priest looks fifty or sixty years old, his beard has become gray, his appearance is clumsy and thin, and three strands of long hair are sprinkled on his chest, looking like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world. The younger one looked to be in his thirties, extremely handsome and dashing, with a short beard on his lips. Handsomeness adds a bit of maturity, and if it is placed in the next generation, it can definitely kill a group of ignorant girls in seconds.

"Old fairy, please look, the water is coming!" The two men on the side of the boat turned out to be fetching water from the Yellow River, and after the short and fat merchant took it, he immediately sent it to the old Taoist priest and said with a flattering face.

The elder Taoist priest took the river water, stretched out two fingers and dipped them in the water, and waited for the water on his fingers to dry. With a gentle rubbing of his fingers, a few invisible strands of sand flew out from between his fingers and were quickly blown away by the river breeze.

"Well, the water in this section of the Bianzhou River is about the same as upstream. It's a little muddyer than last year. The old Taoist priest said with some concern, it turned out that he had just used this method to test the sediment content in the river water. The young Taoist priest next to him had a look of knowing this, obviously knowing that this was the result.

"Master Yuan, you have been monitoring the water of the Yellow River for many years, and now it is certain that the sediment contained in the water of the Yellow River is increasing year by year, and the reason is nothing more than the destruction of grass and trees in the upper reaches, if it is not treated in time. I am afraid that in the future, the troubles along the Yellow River will be more than ten times more serious than those now. The young Taoist priest said slowly.

"Well, yes, but the water is in better shape this year than in previous years, at least not as fast as in previous years, but I don't know why?" The elder Taoist priest rubbed the mud and sand in his hands. Said with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, this is thanks to His Royal Highness King Qi of our Tang Dynasty!" The young Taoist priest suddenly laughed.

"Chunfeng, this also has something to do with His Royal Highness King Qi?" The elder Taoist priest asked with a look of surprise. The identities of these two Taoist priests are not ordinary, the young one is the famous Li Chunfeng in history, and the current Taishi Ling of the Tang Dynasty. And the one who can be commensurate with him as a teacher, and whose surname is Yuan, is naturally the god stick Yuan Tiangang in Li Su's mouth.

"Master Yuan didn't know. Last year, His Royal Highness King Qi replaced firewood or charcoal with charcoal, now not only Chang'an, almost the entire Guanzhong region uses charcoal as fuel, coupled with the invention of cement, when building houses and palaces, it can also replace wood in many places, so since last year, Guanzhong and the Yellow River Shanghai have cut down trees, has significantly reduced a lot, I believe that with the promotion of coal and cement, the demand for trees in the Tang Dynasty will be further reduced, and then I will write to Your Majesty, requesting that the grass and trees in the Guanzhong area recuperate, It is believed that in a few years, the water of the Yellow River will become clear again. ”

Li Chunfeng's face was full of energy, and when he mentioned Li Su, his tone was also respectful, the reason why he agreed to go to Dengzhou with his master Yuan Tiangang this time was that in addition to wanting to see the little sister who was praised by the master, he also wanted to see Li Su, the king of Qi, in fact, he wanted to see Li Su last year, but unfortunately he never found a suitable opportunity, and it was too abrupt to take the initiative to visit, so he has not had a chance to meet until now, but it is different when he arrives in Dengzhou, his little sister's father is Dengzhou Don't drive, When the time comes, you can ask him to introduce you on your behalf.

"I see!" Speaking of Li Su, Yuan Tiangang also stroked his beard and smiled, "I have only been traveling abroad for a few years this time, but when I returned to Chang'an, I found that in the entire Chang'an City, whether it is a corner wine shop or the mansion of a dignitary, almost everywhere is talking about our King of Qi, I really can't wait to see each other as soon as possible, and the old man must take a good look at his face." ”

Seeing that the master rarely showed a trace of anxiety, Li Chunfeng also found it quite interesting, but when it came to physiognomy, he remembered a strange thing that the master told him, so he asked: "Master Yuan, you mentioned to your disciples last time that the faces of many dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an City have changed. ”

"Alas~, this matter is really incomprehensible for the teacher, when I was in Chang'an a few years ago, I met with many people, but when I returned to Chang'an this year, I found that many people's faces have changed dramatically, such as Li Jingye, the grandson of the British duke, although he was born rich and noble, but he died of the life of the sword soldier, and the second son of the house, is also a person who is difficult to die well, and even His Royal Highness King Wu, Princess Jinyang, etc., but now the faces of these people have changed, and they have all become the life of longevity and blessings, It's hard to figure out. ”

Yuan Tiangang shook his head and sighed, although people's fate is not fixed, but there is a context to be found, even if there is a change, it is very rare to jump out of this context, but now there are so many people at once, they have all rewritten their own fate, it is really incomprehensible.

"Master Yuan, don't be too distressed, in fact, I have also encountered this problem, I have calculated the national fortune of Datang before, and I probably know some, but now it is all messed up, for the national fortune after Datang, I can't even calculate it at all now, I have been studying this matter last year, but in the end, it is like falling into a fog, I can't figure out a cause and effect at all, and finally I can only give up helplessly." Li Chunfeng also shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Yuan Tiangang is the best at face-to-face, and Li Chunfeng is the most proficient in the art of calculation, this is not a trick used by fortune tellers on the street to deceive people, but a real university question, but these two kinds of knowledge are too profound, and they must have deep attainments in arithmetic, medicine, philosophy, etc., even if they are talented people like Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, they can only specialize in one subject, and in the entire history of the Chinese land, there are not many people who are proficient in this way, but many people use the name of physiognomy and arithmetic to cheat money and fame, and over time, and the reputation of the two sciences was ruined.

Speaking of this, the two suddenly looked at each other in unison, and then looked at each other and smiled bitterly, although there was no tangible evidence, but their intuition told them that this matter must have something to do with the magical King of Qi.

"Two immortal chiefs, the bow of the ship is windy, please come into the cabin, I have the best roasted tea here, this is from the roasted tea factory on the Qi Wangfu, compared with those later roasted tea factories, the taste is the most pure!" At this moment, the stocky merchant beckoned to the two of them from the shipyard.

This businessman's name is Qian Gui, as his name suggests, this guy is really a 'money cabinet', don't look at the family's parents, but it is the same as Wang Zihao, one of the top ten wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City, specializing in jewelry and jade and other luxury business, he has been instructed by Yuan Tiangang before, this time I heard that the old fairy was going to Dengzhou, and it happened that he was also going to Dengzhou with a batch of goods, so he immediately invited him to the door.

"Qian Gui, what kind of goods are you transporting, and you want to escort them personally?" When Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng heard this, they smiled and went into the warehouse to drink tea, Yuan Tiangang was familiar with each other, so he asked casually.

"Qi Yu old immortal, there is nothing particularly valuable on the other ships, I spent my efforts to get the five kings drunk and fireworks and other things, but our ship is full of perfume and mirrors, these two things alone cost no less than 100,000 yuan, if there is any accident, then I even have the heart to die." Qian Gui said with some exaggeration, with his net worth, if this cargo is gone, it will hurt his muscles and bones at most, and it has not reached the point where he has to die.

"Oh? Aren't you in the jewelry and jade business, why are you shipping all this time? Yuan Tiangang asked a little strangely.

"Hehe, old fairy, you are not a businessman, you don't know the market, if these perfumes and mirrors on our ship are transported to Dengzhou, they will be several times the profit when they change hands, and those maritime merchants in Dengzhou will be transported to Goguryeo or Waguo, these 100,000 yuan of goods can be sold at least one million yuan, which is much more profitable than jewelry and jade." When it comes to business, Qian Gui's eyes immediately lit up, although he is rich, but thinking about the sky-high price of one million, he is still drooling.

"It's a pity that I don't have a sea ship in my hand, and I'm not familiar with overseas countries, otherwise I would have sent it directly to Goguryeo." Qian Gui then said unwillingly.

Seeing this rich businessman looking so greedy, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng didn't have any contempt, they just shook their heads helplessly, and at the same time thought that it seemed that His Royal Highness the King of Qi's influence was really omnipresent, and even the merchant ship they were on was actually full of new goods made by Li Su.
