Chapter Seventy-One: The Convergence of Three Waters

, Qin Mingyue said: "This method was actually learned when I traveled through that interesting girl's world in my previous life. ”

Xiao Rui became even more interested when he heard it: "Oh, then I want to listen to it even more, that girl's world is really magical, how much did you learn?" ”

Qin Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled: "That world is really amazing, I'll tell you slowly in the future." Let me start by talking about how to let Taoism feed itself. In fact, it can't be regarded as supporting itself entirely, but it can only subsidize itself. I plan to wait until a few years later, when the students of Daoxue have learned a little, and let Daoxue start a few businesses, such as making porcelain, woodware, ironware, stoneware, baking tea, weaving, opening restaurants, etc. In this way, the students study and sell the things they make. ”

"It's a little bit of a catch. Maybe there will be an industry that makes a lot of money? That one is worth ten. In addition, the talents we have cultivated are not cultivated in vain. In a few years, when the reputation of Taoism is established, people who definitely want to go to Taoism will be able to squeeze through the door, so we will put forward the conditions. ”

"We do not charge fees for people with poor family conditions, however, give them loans. That is, they can go to school on their own, and when they finish their studies, they have to pay back their study expenses little by little, and they can pay back 500 big money a month, or one or two pieces of silver a year, divided into months, dozens of months, and years. This silver can be used to continue the education of the next child. ”

"You can also let those who have great ability, become officials, and make a lot of money in business, return to the school, and let the school give them stone names and promote their reputation."

"A few ways down, isn't it possible to make up for yourself?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Your methods are good. In the future, students in Taoism who do not have a big profit can repay their school expenses by repaying their monthly loans. Those who use their ability can donate more money in exchange for fame or repay their long-cherished wishes. Not bad. Perhaps, your method will really allow Daoxue to support itself. ”

Qin Mingyue said with a smile: "These are all things in the future, we will plan slowly in the future, and now let's talk about the current things first." I've been talking for a long time, I'm going back to rest, and I'm going to go to the Sanshui Junction tomorrow. ”

Xiao Rui saw that Qin Mingyue was indeed a little tired, so he said, "Okay, you rest early." I'll write a post to both Li Tingshi and Governor Wang in a while, asking Governor Wang to come over tomorrow night, and Li Tingshi will come over the night after tomorrow. Tomorrow during the day we will go to the Sanshui Confluence. By the way, are you going to bring someone from the Daomen with you tomorrow? ”

Qin Mingyue said, "Yes." I have already told the people of the Daomen, not only will I bring the people I brought with me, but I will also go with the people of the Daomen of Ba Province. ”

Xiao Rui nodded, and the two of them said goodbye to each other after talking again.

Qin Mingyue went back to the room to rest.

Naturally, there are four faithful maids waiting for everything. All the furnishings in the famous garden are extravagant and luxurious, which can naturally make Qin Mingyue live very comfortably.

The next day, after Qin Mingyue got up refreshed, after eating and tidying up, he took the golden crown and jade leaves of the national teacher, and the priest's robe intertwined with gold and silver on the boat, and led a group of Taoist masters and Xiao Ruihao to march to Dujiang City.

Sitting in the carriage, Qin Mingyue leisurely admired the scenery along the way and came to the upper reaches of Dujiang City. It's far from the city and sparsely populated.

Qin Mingyue got out of the carriage, and the dignified priest's robe made Qin Mingyue exude a mysterious aura.

Qin Mingyue's back was straight, her eyes were deep, and she asked Mingxing Zhenren: "Mingxing Zhenren, you are the leader of the Daomen of Dujiang City, what information do you know about the intersection of the three waters?" ”

The old man said humbly: "This Dujiang City is mainly named because of Dujiang. The Dujiang River originates from the snow-capped mountains in the southwest of Ba Province, and is rich in water all year round. After passing through most of Ba Province, it finally flows into the Yangtze River. Therefore, this waterway connects many places in Pakistan Province, and ships on the river come and go frequently. ”

"In addition to the main Dujiang River, there are two other tributaries outside Dujiang City, one is the Mangjiang River that originates in the northern part of Ba Province, and the other is the Yushui River that originates in the western part of Ba Province. These two great rivers, in front of them, converge with the Dujiang River to form a spectacle. ”

"The water of the Mangjiang River has the soil layer of the upper reaches to carry it down, so the color is yellowish and turbid, and the jade water has a high mountain forest in the middle, so it has a lot of dead branches and fallen leaves, and the color is yellow and green, and the Dujiang River is the water melted by the snow-capped mountains, so the upstream color is clear. The colors of these three rivers are different, the water temperature is also different, gathered together, the three colors do not blend with each other, and they travel together for about a mile, only because of the reef under the riverbed, forming a natural whirlpool, gathering together, becoming the Dujiang River, flowing to the Dujiang City, and finally joining the Yangtze River. ”

Originally, such a confluence of three rivers was already a natural wonder, attracting many people from Ba Province in all dynasties to watch. However, in the last decade or so, there have been some changes here. ”

Qin Mingyue's eyes flashed: "Oh? What's changing? ”

Mingxing Zhenren said: "More than ten years ago, one day, at the whirlpool where the three waters meet, a treasure light suddenly appeared, and its light shined brightly in the bright sky, even in the daytime, it can be seen clearly from ten miles away. At night, it is more obvious, and the treasure light is very shining. ”

"This is a sensation in the entire province, especially the people in Dujiang City. Many people say that there is a treasure in the river that is about to be revealed. So, driven by interests, many people jumped into the river to fish for treasures. Although the water here is relatively dangerous, with rapid currents, many whirlpools, and reefs underwater, it is not that no one has ever been to this place where the three waters converge before. So, at the beginning, everyone didn't care, just focused on fishing for treasures. ”

"Of course, those who can go into the water are all martial arts and people who have achieved water skills. However, these people have seen all kinds of winds and waves. But it's all gone. When there are many people who die, this treasure light will go down. It no longer shines for ten miles, only a thin layer of treasure light is left in the whirlpool eye. ”

"Many people say that this is a treasure to be sacrificed, so the light no longer shines in the clear sky. Some people also say that this is a treasure that has been stained by human blood, so the treasure light has become smaller. Some people also say that this underwater is not a treasure at all, there are monsters left over from the former primeval world under this water, deliberately spewing out treasure light, attracting people to the past, and eating people. ”

"No matter what you say, anyway, these lives have scared a lot of people, and there have been a lot fewer people in the water in recent years."
