A group of people went down Liangshan, took a boat from the waterway, and along the Guangji River can go straight to Tokyo Bianliang, the waves of the sailor Zhang Shun, and the two boxes of Zhang Heng brothers with a hundred elite sailors are also escorted all the way.

Guangji River, a Wuzhang River, one of the "Four Rivers of Caoyun" in the Northern Song Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty established the country, the southeast is not flat, continue to regulate the Qilu waterway, lead Beijing to the west, Suozhu water across the Bian, enter the east of Kaifeng City and merge in the Wuzhang River, in order to increase the amount of water. The old man dredged the river and set up dams along the stream to help transport. Kaibao changed its name to Guangji River in the sixth year. The Guangji River starts from the northeast Xiantongmen of Bianjing Waiguo in the west, flows east to the town of Hechae in Jeju and enters Yangsanbo, and connects to Jishui below. At the beginning of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Guangji River had played an important role, the annual volume of water transportation increased from hundreds of thousands of stones to six or seven hundred thousand stones, and the seventeen states of Tokyo were transported from the Guangji River to the Beijing Division, and the southeast was established, and the Guangji River was only transported to the military grain of Taikang, Xianping, Weishi and other counties. After the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River flooded southward many times, the waterway of the Guangji River was shallow and astringent, and the transportation capacity was greatly reduced, and it was abandoned in the Jin Dynasty.

Originally, Tokyo Bianliang was not too far from Liangshanbo, but now Chao Gai and others are taking the waterway, so it is less than five days to reach Tokyo Bianliang, and it is naturally impossible for so many people in Liangshan to go directly to Tokyo Bianliang with such fanfare, and everyone stopped not far from Tokyo Bianliang and went ashore.

This is also a small town, but the population is a little small, at most it is a land and water wharf, called Lijia Ferry, there are also a lot of restaurants and inns around, everyone got off the boat, and settled the accompanying sailors to the shore, Chao Gai and others rented a large courtyard here, three before and after, and it was more than enough to squeeze these people here.

After eating, resting for a while, seeing that there were still three days before the date of the poetry meeting, Chao Gai discussed a few people, and then planned to go to the city to go shopping, settled everyone, Chao Gai took Lehe, Shi Qian and the two people out of the mansion, rented a carriage, and drove the car from Shi Qian to Tokyo Bianliang City.

Seeing that the city of Tokyo is still so tall, people come and go, bustling, dignitaries, three religions and nine streams, you can see everywhere, carriages, sedan chairs, chariots, burdens from all over the world, all kinds of accents converge together, but it seems so harmonious.

There was a group of officers and soldiers standing at the gate of the city, there were almost ten people, and the chief at the head made an official hat chair next to him, drinking tea, while watching the pedestrians coming and going in and out of the city gate, the soldiers standing guard at the city gate were also loose and weak, looking impatiently at the pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate, and reprimanding twice from time to time.

Looking at the defenders at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Chao Gai shook his head slightly, and sighed vigorously in his heart, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the forbidden army at the root of the imperial city is so lazy, where can you expect the forbidden army in other places to win a big victory, it seems that the decay of the Great Song Dynasty has seen the inside of the bones, and there is no way to save it.

After sighing for a while, Chao Gai three people did not delay, directly into the city of Tokyo, to the inside is a lively scene, in this period, Tokyo Bianliang is the world's largest international metropolis, the streets are paved with bluestone slabs, the ditch on both sides of the water, rows of ancient houses, a dazzling array of shops, large and small buying and selling, all kinds of pedestrians come and go, shoulder to shoulder, fully show the style of an international metropolis.

Even if Chao Gai has been here before, he is shocked by the prosperity in front of him at this moment, which is different from the modern city with bright lights and high-rise buildings, and the Tokyo city in front of him is more thick and simple, more atmospheric, and more able to show the style of my Chinese nation.

I don't know if it's Chao Gai, Le He and Shi Qian, who have never been to Tokyo City, couldn't close their mouths in shock, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, looking east and west, looking at this novelty, looking at that one and being surprised.

The three of them walked along the street for another hour, feasting their eyes, it was not early at this time, and Shi Qian proposed to find a restaurant to have a good meal, and also taste the chef at the feet of the son of heaven and the little cook Ding Wuzhi on Liangshan Bo whose craftsmanship is good.

At the moment, three people looked for and found, found one, the largest restaurant in Tokyo City, called Taibai Building, take the meaning of Taibai Dou Wine Poems, and write a Taibai Lou is also one of the best restaurants in Tokyo, and it is also the most cultural restaurant in Tokyo.

As soon as the three of them entered the Taibai Building, Chao Gai felt different from other restaurants, not so noisy, and there was no sound of drinking and punching and drinking, but the polite and well-read cultural people who read poetry and books sat there chatting, pointing out the rivers and mountains, and impassioned words, which immediately attracted Chao Gai.

As soon as Chao Gai and the three of them entered the Taibai Building, a guy ran over, smiling all over his face, and said to Chao Gai: "This son, but he is here to eat and drink, please come inside." ”

When Chao Gai came over today, he deliberately changed into a cyan robe, with a jade belt tied around his waist, two silk silks hanging down from the left and right of the jade belt, a folding fan in his hand, where is there still the demeanor of Chao Gai, the king of Tota who scolded Fang Xuan, a young scholar who is alive and well-mannered, full of bookish atmosphere, and the time and the back of Chao Gai now, acting as a subordinate.

At the moment, the little two of the restaurant led Chao Gai and three people to the second floor, there were not so many people on the second floor, there were more than a dozen people on the second floor, Chao Gai found a place by the window, and the three of them sat down.

At that moment, Xiao Er's rags wiped the table, and then poured a bowl of tea for the three Chao Gai people, and asked with a smile: "What does this son eat?" Our Taibai House is one of the best restaurants in Tokyo, and there is no wine or food. ”

Chao Gai saw that Xiao Er was so enthusiastic, and he was in a good mood, so he said immediately: "In this way, take four of the vegetables and meat and vegetables that you are good at here, and then two pots of good wine, that's all, I can't wait until I call you." ”

"Well, this son, you will come later, and the little one will come when he goes." Xiao Er answered immediately, and then turned to leave.

"Brother, the restaurant at the foot of this Tianzi is really different from the small place, this decoration is magnificent, that is, the little two who run the hall are very enthusiastic, tsk." Shi Qian looked around and said vigorously.

Lehe next to him looked at Shi Qian's excitement, like a bun, he was also embarrassed, knocked on the table at the moment, and said to Shi Qian: "I said Brother Shi Qian, a little promising, after all, we are also from the mountains, and my brother ...... Childe is still here, I feel ashamed when I see it. ”

When he was talking, Xiao Er's two drinks and dishes were put on the table one by one, and the wine and food were ready, Xiao Er said politely again, and walked away with interest.

The three of them walked for so long and were a little hungry, and they began to eat immediately, and the three of them chatted while eating and chatting.

Satisfied, Shi Qian looked at the white walls around him full of poems and articles, and when his eyes rolled, he said to Chao Gai opposite: "I said Childe, you see that we have finally come to such a trip, so many people are writing and writing poems on this wall, you are much stronger than them, otherwise, Childe, you will also write a poem, so that we can also open our eyes." ”

At this time, Chao Gai was also in a good mood, drank some wine, slightly drunk, and saw that Shi Qian said, Lehe next to him also nodded in agreement, and waved his hand at the moment, saying: "That's good, pen and ink waiting!" ”

"Gotcha." Le He responded excitedly, then turned around and shouted to Xiao Er downstairs, saying, "Xiao Er, pen and ink are waiting!" ”

Le He's words, not only the restaurant's junior two heard it, but even the literati and writers who ate and drank here also heard it clearly, as soon as they heard that someone was going to splash ink here, they all put down their wine glasses at the moment, came to the second floor, and waited for Chao Gai's masterpiece.

After a while, Xiao Er brought up the pen and ink, and they thought that things like pen and ink were always prepared here.
