"Bianhe passes, Kaifeng Xing; The Bianhe River is wasted, and Kaifeng is declining. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

This folk song circulating in Kaifeng illustrates the relationship between the Grand Canal and Kaifeng. As an important part of the Grand Canal, the Bianhe River has played an important role in Chinese history.

Without the Bianhe River, there would be no 168 years of peerless prosperity in the Northern Song Dynasty; Without the Bianhe River, there would be no "Qingming Riverside Map" that has been passed down through the ages. A large part of this world-famous picture scroll depicts a scene by the Bianhe River.

The predecessor of the Bianhe River was the chasm of the Warring States period. The chasm was successfully excavated in the Warring States period, and it was a large-scale water conservancy project in the Central Plains at that time. The chasm connects the Yellow River and the Huai River, and Kaifeng has become a node connecting the Yellow River and the Huai River.

In 605 AD, Emperor Yang of Sui excavated the Grand Canal, and the Tongji Canal was an important section of it.

After the Tang Dynasty, the Tongji Canal was renamed the Bianhe River. In the Great Song Dynasty, the country's most important mode of transportation was still Cao Yun, and the Bianhe River played a huge role according to its extremely important geographical location. It can be said that a large part of the splendor of Tokyo City is brought about by the Bianhe River.

The Bianhe River runs through the city of Tokyo from east to west, "the first to inherit the big river, the rivers and lakes, the South China Sea, half of the world's wealth, and the department stores of the mountains, all from this road",

"Millions of stones in the Caojiang, Huai, Lake, and Zhejiang" became the "foundation of the founding of the country" of Beijing, and became the hub of transportation in Tokyo and even the whole country at that time.

Lu Huiqing went south by boat, and the sudden death of his mother made him have to give up the interests he was about to get, and now he is standing at the bow of the boat facing the wind, but the depression in his heart cannot be discharged.

Three years of worry. Looking back, it's already a matter of things and people, God don't bless, this sentence is the most emotional sentence issued by Lu Huiqing these days. This sentence can only be said silently in his heart, and can not appeal to outsiders, he even felt that his heart was faintly angry with his mother, Confucian education for many years told him that such anger is a great rebellion, although there is no one here, he immediately put on a sad expression.

Just past a salt ship. The most striking three-masted ship, the big square-headed ship, is an outsider. Coming up from the Yangtze River, transporting salt is its main job. Most of it only goes to Suzhou, and it can't enter the Bianhe River, so ordinary people call it a "salt boat". The name is the same as the real thing. The boatman called it "Big Loach Head", although the name is vulgar, the origin is very ancient. Most of these boats are painted with black, so the color is mostly black. These boats travel seasonally, because they need strong water and winds to move. The "ocean boat, the shadow like a white rainbow" depicted in Du Fu's poem may refer to this kind of water thing.

It was only a short time in winter, and the north wind was still strong, and the sails were full of wind. So the boat is very fast, the boat is comfortable to ride, and it is very stable even in strong winds and waves. Just now, I faintly heard the sound of silk and bamboo, which is a convenience only for rich and noble families.

Lu Huiqing is actually very envious, traveling on such a ship is like being in an active palace, but it's a pity that he is just a poor teacher of the country's eunuch, and he can't afford to pay for such a ship.

Own boat has a sloop. The hull of the ship is unusually delicate, and the head and tail suddenly converge. It makes people have a sharp impression that the whole body is black, and it is called "Wujiangzi".

Its specialty is not afraid of wind and waves, safety, this is Lu Huiqing's always requirement, he has never been willing to put himself in danger.

The structure of this ship is characterized by high masts, large sails, deep cabins, and sharp heads. The canopy is smaller than the hull, because there is a cabin guard outside the ship, the boat man is the same as the ship itself, it looks very clean, delicate, the ship is both by the wind, and the sails are made up and down, so the sails are more neat, and there are not many sailors on the ship, and only the sailors will pull the canopy, swing the oars, brace the penny, and will not swing the oars,—— oars are not commonly used on this kind of ship. Women can also steer the boat when the boat is empty. As for wanting to be comfortable, you can't do it, and Wuguan money can only have such treatment.

He hurried south, he had no long things, and the excess money had been deposited in the Great Song Dynasty, he only had a bill of exchange, and some were not enough, and the bill of exchange still needed to wait until Quanzhou to be used, and when he returned to his hometown, his wife and children still needed to be taken care of.

Thinking of the pride when she left home, Lu Huiqing was a little embarrassed as long as she remembered the eager eyes of her wife and children, she was a little embarrassed, she had been up and down in the sea for four years, and her bags were still empty when she returned home.

"God bless me!" This time, Lu Huiqing gritted his teeth and read out this sentence, and his eldest follower Ayou seemed to hear the master talking, and hurriedly asked, "What does the master command?" ”

Lu Huiqing waved her sleeves at him irritably, and simply sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, feeling more and more self-pitying.

If it weren't for Wang Yan's request to find a way to drag Yun Zheng so that his father could implement the "Farmland Water Conservancy Law" as quickly as possible, he would not have to spend a long four months on a useless monk, and these four months would be enough for him to study the operation of the Great Song Dynasty Qianzhuang, and then present his own insights to Wang Anshi, and finally get the position of Qianzhuang.

Lu Huiqing had long found that Qianzhuang was a place of extreme merit, as long as he had practiced in Qianzhuang for a few years, he would have found a good position among the three envoys, and if it was not for Wang Yan's request, he would not be willing to grudge with Yun Zheng no matter what.

Yun Zheng's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and lungs made Lu Huiqing extremely jealous, and the eyes in the heavy rain always startled him to wake up from his sleep. Who are they, Yun Zheng turned Wang Anshi's "Qingmiao Law" into Qianzhuang, which made Wang Yan angry, and fools can see that Qianzhuang's strategy is much better than "Qingmiao Law", just for the sake of a temporary fame, can he ignore the interests of the people of the Great Song Dynasty? Do people live for fame?

Lu Huiqing couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this, he found that there was something wrong with his thinking, obviously all he was thinking about was for the country and the people, but when it came to action, he would habitually deviate.

Xu Sheng is already mortal, and the waste is just used to die, and Lu Huiqing feels that there is nothing wrong with doing this thing by herself. As for bribing patients, it is indeed a bit unconscionable to ask Wugou to taste a bacon leg with white spots.

Wugou's gluttony was beyond his expectations, a monk with six unclean roots, he actually liked to use a knife to cut raw meat into thin slices and dip it in sauce to eat raw, the amount of food is still so large, a pork leg can be eaten cleanly......

This is his own trouble, he can't complain about it, now, this flower monk must have gone crazy and died like the pimpled person he saw when he was a child, right? Yun Zheng must have no intention of going to the court at this time, right? I'm not in the mood to change Wang Anshi's "Farmland Water Conservancy Law" beyond recognition again, right?

Who knew it was all their own doing?

Lu Huiqing sighed, looking at the big ship slowly moored at the ferry in front of her and pounding the boat board vigorously, the feeling of walking at night in brocade clothes was not good.

The sound of silk and bamboo on the big ship was even more complaining, Lu Huiqing felt that his body was cold, but when he looked up, he found that it had begun to snow in the sky, but he was reluctant to enter the cabin. The singing of the big ship is lingering, as if it is pouring out the sorrow of the world to this heaven and earth.

"The white gull asked me to park a lonely boat, is it a body, is it a heart? If the heart stays, what is the reason to lock the brow? The wind beats the small curtain and the light is faint, and the idle shadow is deserted, reminiscing about the old tour.

Is the old tour the old tour now? Flower outside the building, willow boat. Dreams are also dreams, dreams are not dreamed, cold water is empty. Desert yellow clouds, soaked kapok fur. No one in the capital is worried about me, tonight snow, there are plum blossoms, like I am sad......"

Lu Huiqing felt that every sentence of this song turned into steel needles and pierced his heart and lungs, which made him feel painful, and he couldn't help but let out a long howl, standing on the bow of the boat and singing: "Spring is the end of the snow in the South Building." Alarm the lantern period flower letter. Light rain and a chill. Leaning on the trunk. Don't lean on it. A look at a few heavy smoke and water. Where is Jinghua. Twilight clouds. (The famous Fujian Zi did not have poems handed down, in order to conform to the plot, he wrote a poem, but the result was too ugly, and he had to quote another Song man, Wan Qianyong's poems, no wonder.) )

The big boat suddenly fell silent, and I heard a crisp woman's voice coming from the big boat: "No wonder the strings of the pipa will break, it turns out that someone is eavesdropping, it seems that he is also an elegant person, since it is snowing at dusk, why not come up and drink a glass of wine?" ”

The sound was crisp like the chirping of a yellow bird, but with a strong sense of laziness, just listening to the sound, Lu Huiqing could think that this sound should come from the mouth of a stunning woman.

Now that the master's family has been invited, Lu Huiqing straightened up and said with a long smile: "Quanzhou Lu Huiqing is here, Mrs. is kind to invite, Lu Jifu dares to disobey!" ”

While speaking, a picturesque girl in green clothes climbed on the side of the boat and asked coquettishly: "Lu Huiqing, Lu Huiqing, Mrs. said that the boat is full of demons and monsters, and you dare to come up?" Beware of your flesh being devoured. ”

Lu Huiqing laughed and said: "If the demons and monsters are as cute as you, Lu Huiqing will have no regrets even if he is devoured." ”

A stout man grabbed the girl by the collar of the girl in green clothes and grabbed her back, and then walked out and hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Yaren, if it is freezing today, my wife has invited Mr. to board the boat." ”

Lu Huiqing saw that the servants were all polite and thoughtful, and talked elegantly, and couldn't help but be full of curiosity about this ship, there are many nobles in Tokyo City, and it is not suitable for a boat with only women, but this is the boundary of Suzhou, and there is no flag of rich and noble people on the ship, since it is a salt boat, it must be the family of a rich businessman, otherwise it would not be such a rude rash to invite a strange man to board the boat to talk, only those businessmen will be so indifferent to etiquette, such women are often wonderful people, even if it is a kiss Fang Ze is not a strange thing, Shangjia used concubines to open the way to find a relationship, it is not for nothing in Tokyo, thinking of the woman who spoke out, Lu Huiqing actually felt that her blood was pouring on her head, and she climbed the soft ladder thrown down by the strong man and got on the giant boat.
