Chapter 70: The Long Mountain Carriage Rides
Yu Wenjing was carried to Yu Wenhua and in front of him. Hua Yun only whipped Yuwen Jing three times, but he used enough strength for each blow. Although Yu Wenjing was protected by armor, he was still smashed. However, Yuwen Jing was self-aware, and he didn't dare to cry in front of Yuwenshu after being beaten, so he had to come to Yu Wenhua and.
Yuwen Zhiji listened to it and asked, "Is that person eight feet tall, thin, and fair-skinned?" ”
Yuwen Jing nodded again and again and said, "Yes, it's him, it's him." ”
Yu Wenhua frowned and said, "Zhiji, do you know this person?" ”
Yu Wenzhi and his head said: "This person's name is Huayun, the new general of Yuhang Yingyang's mansion." ”
Yu Wenhua let out an "oh" and said, "Now that you know his origin, it's easy to do." After going back, let the third brother find a reason and dismiss his official first. ”
The third brother he mentioned was Yang Guang's son-in-law, Ma Yu Wenshi. Because of Princess Nanyang, Yu Wenshi and Yang Guang were very talkative.
Yuwen Zhiji smiled and said, "This time I can't." That Huayun was lifted up by my father's best efforts, if you dismissed his official, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of your father? ”
Yuwen Jing lost his voice and said: "Then didn't I call him a vain fight." ”
Yu Wenhua knew the grievances between the Yuwen family and the Yang family, and Hua Yun was not only the person who Yuwen Shu was protecting, but also Yang Wanxiang's position, so it was naturally impossible to make trouble again, so he said: "Then what do you want!" A Lang general let the little soldiers beat, and the face to come to see me, get out! ”
Yuwen Jing was able to sit in this position, all thanks to Yu Wenshu's relationship, seeing Yu Wenhua and angry, he had to swallow his anger and crawl out of the camp tent.
In just two days, Yu Wenkai has designed a real snow climbing plow, which can carry heavy loads and slide freely on the snow, and it is not easy to be damaged. With a wave of his hand, Yang Guangguang asked the Ministry of Industry to make 3,000 pieces for the use of the grain transportation troops. There are many craftsmen in Chang'an City, and 3,000 snow climbing plows are made in an instant.
The army stayed in Chang'an City for a total of three days, then reopened and continued westward. The grain transport unit was equipped with a new snow climbing plow, and was finally able to keep up with the footsteps of the army. From Chang'an City to the west, it was all under the control of the Great Sui, and the road was extremely smooth, and the speed of the march was also much faster.
Liu Ziqiu's horse was given to Hua Yun, and he had to join Gui Hai begging them to squeeze into a snow plow pulled by an ox. Seeing that the snow plow under the buttocks was almost comparable to the sleigh of later generations, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but secretly admire, this Yuwenkai is indeed a character, and he should get acquainted with him if he has the opportunity.
……
On the twenty-ninth day of the first month, Yang Guang's army arrived in Longxi County. In the evening of the same day, Li Jing's family also came to the Guazhou ferry in Jiangdu County.
Li Jing's original plan was to take the water route, but because of the cold weather this year, a thin layer of ice formed on the canal, and the boatmen were reluctant to travel far, so they had to take the land route instead, so it took more than ten days to reach Guazhou.
There are two ways to get from Guazhou to Yuhang, one is to take the newly opened Jiangnan Canal, and the other is to take the official road through Biling and Wu County after crossing the river.
When they arrived at the ferry, it was already evening, and although there were many boats on the wharf, they had all set sails, and no one would cross the river in the dark. There was a tea shop by the dock, which was full of people, both merchants from north to south, as well as sailors on board.
Li Jing knew that these were the easiest to listen to, so he helped Zhang Chuchen to find a corner in the tea shop and sit down. Zhang Chuchen's stomach carries the hope of the Li family, although it has not yet shown its nostalgia, it is enough to make Li Jing extra careful.
There are three sects and nine streams in the tea shop, and there are all kinds of characters, but a stunning beauty like Zhang Chuchen is not common, and countless eyes suddenly focused. It's just that Li Jing is dressed luxuriously, and there are a few house slaves behind him, and everyone doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.
A junior came over and asked, "What does the guest officer want?" ”
Li Jing took out a piece of broken silver and threw it on the table, and said, "I don't need anything, I only need to inquire about one thing, maybe a ship to Yuhang can be hired here?" ”
Xiao Er smiled when he saw Yinzi, and said, "I heard that the Jiangnan Canal has been opened, but there are not many people leaving. But you asked me the right person, I know that there is a newly opened car and horse shop, but this waterway. ”
Li Jing was overjoyed and said: "Which car and horse shop is it?" ”
Xiao Er pointed behind him and said, "There is a signboard, a long mountain carriage." ”
Looking in the direction of Xiao Er's finger, Li Jing hadn't seen where the Changshan carriage was going, but he first saw a bearded young man sitting on the other side of the tea shop, looking at it intently, obviously staring at Zhang Chuchen.
Li Jing was furious and clenched his fists and wanted to rise, but was stopped by Zhang Chuchen.
Zhang Chuchen got up and walked over, saluted the bearded son, and asked, "What is your surname?" ”
The bearded boy smiled and said, "A certain surname is Zhang." ”
Zhang Chuchen said happily: "The slave family is also surnamed Zhang, and I am willing to worship as a righteous brother." ”
The bearded boy was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "That's fine, but so-and-so has an extra sister." ”
Zhang Chuchen turned his head and called, "Lang Jun came to see my brother-in-law." ”
Li Jing also hurriedly walked over, greeted the bearded boy, and told each other their names. It turned out that this bearded boy was Zhang Zhongjian, the third son of Zhang Jiuling, a wealthy man in Jiangdu City, who worshipped a Kunlun slave as a teacher for five years, and his skills were not successful.
Zhang Zhongjian was a native of Jiangdu, and Li Jing inevitably asked him about the situation of Changshan Carriage and Horse Travel. Zhang Zhongjian didn't know very well, he only knew that this carriage and horse line had just been set up a few years ago, and it seemed to be from Yuhang, but he was quite bold and dared to run on any waterway.
Li Jing couldn't help but move in his heart, wasn't he going to Changshan Village, Yanguan County, Yuhang County? Could it be that this long roller coaster is run by Changshan Village?
Because he only met Zhang Zhongjian, he looked at Zhang Chuchen with some ill intentions. Li Jing didn't dare to have a deep friendship with him, so he chatted a few words in a hurry, then said goodbye and took Zhang Chuchen to Changshan Carriage and Horse Shop.
The face of the Changshan Carriage and Horse Shop is not big, and the inside is deserted, and it seems that business is not very good. Of course, it is indeed not easy for a newly opened carriage and horse dealer to do business at the Jiangdu ferry, where there are many merchant ships.
Seeing that a guest came to the door, a guy had already greeted him and asked, "How many guest officers, do you live in a hotel or hire a car?" ”
It turned out that there was a large area behind this long mountain cart and horse shop, and many houses were built for the men and merchants of the carriage and horse shop to rest.
Without waiting for Li Jing to answer, Zhang Chuchen had already preemptively said: "We are going to hire a boat to go to Changshan Village, if the price is right, we might as well stay here for one night." ”
A hint of vigilance flashed in the man's eyes and he asked, "Where are you going to Changshan Village?" ”
"Changshan Village, Yanguan County, Yuhang County."
The guy suddenly laughed and said, "It turns out that I am going to my hometown, and there happens to be a boat going there tomorrow in the shop, anyway, the boat fare can be waived by the way." Dare to ask if you are looking for relatives or friends? ”
"Looking for relatives."
"Oh, but I don't know which one you're looking for?"
Li Jing was already a little suspicious, and said, "If you are willing to take us a ride, what are you doing with this?" ”
"Whatever you want, whatever you want." The guy snorted and said, "Do you want to stay in the shop tonight?" There are also a few upper rooms in the store. ”
Li Jing just wanted to speak, but Zhang Chuchen glanced at him and said, "Since you don't charge us for the boat, you naturally have to take care of your business, so you will live here tonight!" ”
The house behind the carriage was very clean, the beds and bedding were all new, and it was evident that it had not been open for a long time. However, the service here is very good, and there is no need for Li Jing to order, there are already guys who have sent hot water.
Waiting for the house slaves to retreat, Li Jing said, "Out of the dust, don't you think that guy is asking too much?" It's not very reassuring to live here. ”
Zhang Chuchen asked rhetorically: "Pharmacist, how do you feel about your water nature?" ”
Li Jing thought for a while and said, "There are still some water-based, but it's not very good. ”
Zhang Chuchen said: "That's right. No one else is willing to take the Jiangnan Canal, only this one is willing to go. If this shop were to attack us, would you say it would be more dangerous on the boat or on the shore? ”
Although Li Jing is familiar with military books, he is not as good as Zhang Chuchen, who has been sold as a slave since he was a child, for these things on the rivers and lakes. After listening to Zhang Chuchen's words, Li Jing suddenly realized: "I understand, you mean to live in their store for the time being, if they are villains, we will see tonight." ”
Both of them were very careful that night, even bringing their own food and drink, and did not dare to eat anything in the store until dawn, and did not find anything wrong.
Everyone packed up and counted the house money, and some men had already led them to the riverside wharf. On the wharf, a large ship is quietly moored there, and more than a dozen sailors are moving goods and hoisting sails, a busy scene.
The bigger the boat, the smoother it will be. Li Jing was very satisfied with the ship and asked, "Man, is this the boat to Changshan Village?" ”
The guy laughed, "Exactly." The shop has a batch of goods to be transported back to Changshan Village, and if you pick it up on the way, the ship money will not be collected, so remember to take care of the business of the shop next time. ”
Li Jing thanked him and instructed the slaves to load their luggage onto the ship. The boat was large, and horses and vehicles could fit it. Li Jing didn't carefully help Zhang Chuchen to step onto the gangplank until the end.
Zhang Chuchen said with a smile: "Lang Jun, the slave family is not such a squeamish person, and he can go by himself." ”
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting from behind: "Boatman, don't go!" ”
The early spring morning was cold and a thin layer of frost was formed on the springboard. Zhang Chuchen was startled by this sudden shout, staggered under his feet, and if it wasn't for Li Jing's support, he almost fell into the river.
Concern is chaotic, it is said that Li Jing is usually very calm, but at this time, he couldn't hold back, and called two maidservants to help Zhang Chuchen, and he jumped ashore and shouted: "What kind of person, dare to be so rude!" ”
On the riverbank, a horse galloped in.
