Leaving Jinshan Temple, the warships of the Song army patrolling the river in Zhenjiang also began to come to greet and guide the way. And Yang Guang's hometown revisited the extraordinarily energetic outside and waved to the army.

Then the mouth of the river in front turns right into a tributary, not far away a few tens of meters long ...... Wooden walls block the way.

Wang Qiang was stunned: "What is this?" ”

Yang Guang smiled: "Lock! ”

Wang Qiang was surprised: "Blocking the enemy? ”

Yang Guang laughed: "Do you think that the canal is just digging a ditch in the ground?" It's a shame that you're still a modern person! ”

Su Su also smiled: "Brother Qiang, the ideal canal is of course to dig a ditch, but in fact it is impossible, although the topography of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is generally a plain, but there are still ups and downs, even if there is only a few meters of difference, the actual amount of work to dig a few meters is beyond imagination, so the lock is used to store water, and each section of the terrain is separated into a section of terraced pools. Brother Qiang should have seen it when he first went to Gezhouba. ”

Yang Guang said with a smile: "That is, there is still a mountain in the middle of the Panama Canal, that is, a pool staircase that goes up the mountain. ”

Wang Qiang is really ashamed: "I, I understand! ”

Yang Guang sighed: "But there are thousands of locks in the Beijing-Guangzhou Canal, which is really unpleasant. ”

Su Su smiled: "But in any case, the strategic significance in that era was undoubtedly equivalent to that of a railway. ”

When the Jin Sailing Boat arrived at the lock, hundreds of soldiers surrounded by gongs and drums on the shore, and a certain eight sedan chairs came over, and then someone on the shore shouted in unison: "Master Jia is here to welcome King Wu!" ”

Wang Qiang suddenly laughed: "Isn't it, it's still far away from Hangzhou, so far away to greet you?" ”

Yang Guang said with a smile: "As the prime minister, I personally went out of the city for hundreds of miles to greet him, this is too sincere!" There must be a life-saving task for us, so let the lion speak. ”

Wang Qiangle was happy: "It means that you can talk to him about anything?" ”

Su Su said with a smile: "Let me guess, one of the things that Jia Yidao is most afraid of is going to the battlefield, but there are always people who can't let him get off the stage and instigate him to go to the battlefield in front of the emperor. ”

Gan Ning said with a smile: "This Song Dynasty, always calling civil officials to go to war, it's really embarrassing for them, okay, leave it to this king." ”

While speaking, the soldiers patrolling the river respectfully invited the Jinjunk to dock, and then a tall and thin official with long "ears" on both sides of his hat came down from the sedan chair.

This is Jia Yidao? Wang Qiang suddenly remembered a "Cricket Prime Minister" played by Ge You when he was a child, and suddenly felt that the two were very similar when he compared them like each other! I'll it!

Jia Nidao took the lead in coming to the dock and made a bent over: "Jia Rudao greets King Wu!" ”

Gan Ning smiled: "I am Gan Ning, if Master Jia is interested, why don't you come to the boat to have a look?" But my boat is small, and there are too many people to squeeze in. ”

Jia Rudao was overjoyed: "That's what I mean!" So he turned back and stepped back to the right and left, and boarded the ship alone.

Wang Qiang smiled in his heart, which means that the letter from the Wuchang official to him made all the key things clear, and of course this kind of key matter is to talk about it alone.

Then Jia Rudao entered the cabin and introduced them one by one. Then he glanced back at the hatch.

Gan Ning smiled: "Taishi is really cautious, but it doesn't seem good to close the door directly and make a conspiracy to let the people on the shore see it?" ”

Tao Yuanming smiled: "Let's go to a good place, right?" An hour of talking in that place is only equivalent to the time it takes to go around here. ”

Jia Rudao was overjoyed: "Okay! ”
