"Lou Baiyue should also contact me. Gu Chensha was not surprised, and when he opened the letter, there were four words on it: "Canal Wharf".

The inscription is a building word, and a shallow crescent moon is drawn.

There is no doubt that this is Lou Baiyue.

See you at the canal pier about the ancient dust.

"Let's go, get out of the palace and go to the canal docks. Gu Chensha handed the letter to Xiao Yizi: "Take it and burn it, this kind of letter is evidence for Jing'er, don't leave anyone with any handle." ”

"Yes. ”

The most prosperous place in the Dayong Dynasty is the capital.

And the most prosperous place in the capital is the canal wharf.

The first of the merits of Emperor Tianfu is to "dig a canal to pass through the four directions", and he reigned for 14 years, started this major project, and completed this matter in just ten years.

There was once an emperor in ancient times, who used countless manpower and material resources to open the north-south canal, which lasted for 30 years, making the people's livelihood miserable, the whole world was opposed, and finally the country was killed.

But the Emperor Tianfu is different, as soon as he ascended the throne, he opened the canal, but it stimulated the people's power, so that the hungry people have food to eat, and they can get wages, so as not to cause chaos, and in the process of digging the canal, if they encounter the blockage of the mountain, often within a few days, the mountain will disappear without a trace.

The river that is difficult to open was cut open by a huge force overnight, and the land was rowed into a river.

Hundreds of people call it a miracle, and after a few years, they all know that the Emperor of Tianfu has the destiny of heaven, and the ghosts and gods are secretly transporting their strength and listening to the emperor's dispatch.

With the excavation of the canal, the throne of the Emperor Tianfu became more and more stable, and in the end, no one could shake the people's aspirations.

Originally, the Emperor Tianfu was the illegitimate son of the people, and he ascended the throne after a tragic killing, after all, his position was unstable, and the undercurrent was surging in the court, but as soon as this canal came, it ran through all directions, and miracles appeared, and immediately people's hearts were like iron.

Moreover, the opening of the Sifang Canal has eliminated countless floods and droughts, and the people have guaranteed their income from drought and flood, and the materials from the Quartet can be continuously transported to the capital, making the merchants prosperous and living countless people.

Gu Chensha stood on the pier, looking at the ships coming and going, full of emotion.

It can be said that none of the emperors of the past dynasties can compare with today.

The canal is thousands of zhang wide, and at a glance, the smoke and waves are vast, and the water depth is even more than 100 zhang, and boats can pass through no matter how deep the draft is. It's not that kind of small river at all, and it's not something that can be done by manpower.

On the canal, there are boats everywhere, there are small canopy boats, and there are five-tooth ships, in addition, there are also angry whale ships with a very deep draft, which are the sailors of the imperial court, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

Of course, the most striking thing is the latest ironclad flywheel developed by the imperial court, the ship is not big, wrapped in iron armor, and the bottom is a wheel, driven by fire steam, spinning, as fast as an arrow from the string, and traveling thousands of miles a day.

This was the vessel used by the imperial court to carry the newspapers and the recitals, which could be transmitted to the provinces along the canal.

With the canal, the imperial court had much more control over the region.

Countless novelty goods were transported to the capital from all over the country and unloaded on the wharf, which was well organized, very orderly and orderly.

In the past, the docks were dirty and messy, and they were controlled by gangsters all year round.

In the tenth year of Tianfu, the imperial court issued a decree to ban the folk gangs, and a large number of evil gang leaders fell to the ground.

"Newspapers, newspapers, today's newspapers, the imperial court issued another proclamation, strictly prohibiting private gold and silver transactions, all goods are settled in paper money, and if there is disobedience, the family will be imprisoned. Many newsboys shouted waving newspapers in their hands.

"This world is indeed well governed. ”

Gu Chensha thought secretly in his heart, although he didn't have much affection for the emperor, he admired his way of governing the country very much.

The royal family has no flesh and blood affection, each prince was born and left his mother, there are a large group of wet nurses, palace maids, grandmothers, eunuchs to take care of, a little older, he lives by himself, studies and martial arts, brothers are suspicious of each other, and they must not be heart-to-heart.

The father and son of a small family are filial piety, and the brothers are harmonious, and the royal family will never have it.

The royal family rules the world with "filial piety", but the royal family does not have "filial piety", which cannot but be said to be an irony.

But this can't be helped, the weight of the throne, the artifact of Sheji in hand, and the power to kill the people of the world, have to let go of this family affection.

"If there is a country, there is no home. Gu Chensha sighed slightly in his heart.

"Master, the letter only said that there was no time at the canal wharf, so are we stupidly waiting here?" asked Xiao Yizi.

"You are too underestimated to look at the Lou family, I'm afraid that as soon as I leave the palace, I will be watched on my whereabouts, and people will naturally come to see me. "The ancient dust and sand can see it thoroughly.

Sure enough, before he stood for long, a boat came by the wind and waves, docked on the side of the pier, and a man came up, and when he walked in front of him, he asked for peace: "Nineteenth master, please follow me on the boat, my master is in the middle of the river, and the banquet is ready." ”

"Lead the way. Gu Chensha knew that this was the servant of the Lou family, stepped on the rocker and got on the boat, and Xiao Yizi followed behind.

The boat suddenly flew away, like an arrow, and in a blink of an eye it reached the center of the river.

This servant steered the boat steadily, and carried the oars like flying, but did not stir up the slightest splash, but used dark energy. The level of kung fu is beyond the reach of idle people, but I am afraid that it is still above the little Yizi who has taken the "Tiger Wolf Pill".

A small slave of the Lou family has such strength, no wonder he can control the government and stand tall.

A large building ship appeared in the center of the river.

This building ship is jet black, but it is actually wrapped in black iron, which is sturdy and durable, and has the ability to fight on the water.

From the small boat to the big boat, there is no weather inside, carved fence jade, painted red and gold, the fragrance strikes, all around are inlaid with large glass, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, the breeze comes slowly, boating on the river, it can be described as a rare enjoyment.

The ship has four floors, the first floor is for the master, the second floor is for the maidservants, the third floor is the galley, and the bottom is for the sailors.

The ship is also powered by a flywheel, which runs with mechanical power and walks like flying in the water.

The so-called flywheel is a mechanism made by Tiangong-in, which only burns fire oil and is driven by the power of hot vapor expansion. It's a change like never before.

The building boat is like a black tiger lying on the river, which can accommodate hundreds of people, and the storage of food can support everyone's living needs for ten days and a half, which is simply a small mansion.

The people on this ship are all powerful and powerful, and even the women are agile and rigorous, like an army.

"The Lou family has made great achievements, and they all use the military rule of law in the mansion, so the atmosphere is thriving. Gu Chensha thought in his heart, he has been reading all kinds of books hard, and he has recently become smart and smart, so he can see the big from the small.

"Stand down, all of you. ”

When the voice came, the servants all retreated, and the man who brought the boat said to Xiao Yizi, "Father-in-law, please follow me downstairs, and wine and dinner are prepared downstairs." ”

Xiao Yizi saw Gu Chensha nodding, so he followed.

There were only two people left on the upper floors of the ship, a man and a woman.

The woman's nature is Lou Baiyue.

She has her back to the ancient dust and sand, and wears a light blue cloak, which seems to have the deep temperament of the sea.

"Tianfu this dynasty, open the east-west-north-south canal, through the east and west of the river, the emperor ordered the Yangtze River, and the north and south rivers are named Tianhe. ”

Lou Baiyue's voice was calm: "For this reason, the emperor also wrote shocking words on the day the canal was opened." ”

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, the waves are sweeping away the heroes, the success or failure of right and wrong is empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. On the white-haired fisherman Jiangzhu, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze, a pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, how many things in ancient and modern times, all pay to talk and laugh. ”

She read the words slowly, and the smell of desolate history came to her face.

This poem was written by the Emperor Tianfu, and it spread all over the world, making the literati bow down.

Gu Chensha also loves the vastness and heaviness of this poem, and often enjoys it secretly.

But at the moment, he didn't know what Lou Baiyue meant, so he just listened quietly, and when she finished chanting, he smiled: "I don't care about reading, I can't talk about poetry, do you have anything to do with me today?"

"Ancient dust and sand. Lou Baiyue turned around, her figure seemed to be taller than a few months ago, and her temperament had also undergone a radical change, and her cultivation seemed to have been completed: "Although you pretend to be crazy and stupid everywhere, you can't hide it from people with a heart, you are not stupid, and a real fool can't live now." ”

"What do you want?" Gu Chensha immediately looked suspicious, quite panicked, and his body was also a little stiff, this was the Tao Obscure Technique that he had practiced for so many years, how could he be easily provoked to show his original form?

"I think you already know that I am befriending you at the behest of the emperor. What do you think?" Lou Baiyue spoke casually, as if this marriage event had nothing to do with him, and he was talking about others.

"No, no, no" Gu Chensha waved his hand and retreated, even more frightened, as if he had encountered a snake and scorpion, although he got the news early, he didn't know what medicine Lou Baiyue was selling, and it was not impossible to set up a trap in case it was not good for him.

As early as a few years ago, this woman let other princes beat her, which is by no means a good kind.

"Although it is the emperor's will, but today is a private meeting, there is no need to be restrained, besides, you are the prince, I am a courtier, if this gesture is spread, I am afraid that I will be impeached by the imperial history as a courtier. Lou Baiyue waved his hand, and his tone was a little condescending.

According to the rules, Gu Chensha is the prince, and Lou Baiyue's gesture is very disrespectful.

But Lou Baiyue is arrogant, even for other princes, someone once complained that she had no courtesy, but was praised by the Emperor Tianfu and said, "This woman is a proud prince and has the demeanor of the ancients." ”

It can be seen that she is much favored by the emperor.

"What does the Emperor have to order?" asked Gu Chensha, although he had a stunt, he still showed a cautious and obscene appearance.

"You look so annoying. Lou Baiyue's face was gloomy: "Although I Lou Baiyue looks down on the men in the world, but today's saint is eloquent, suppressing evil spirits, destroying demons, helping the common people, and Anbangguo, and making the women of the world have a bright day, sweeping away thousands of years of obsolescence, no matter how unambitious you are, you should also inherit the emperor's bloodline." ”

Gu Chensha was just demented: "What are you talking about?"

"I met with you today, and I mainly asked you. Lou Baiyue's eyes looked down from above: "Do you have the ambition to get ahead in the future?"

"Get ahead?" Gu Chensha took two steps back again: "I am now a prince, a golden branch and a jade leaf, a dragon son and a phoenix grandson, what do you want to get ahead?"

"You, the prince, are not as good as the commoners, even if you are a wealthy family in the countryside, you have dozens of servants, go out to drive and horses, the house is full of gold and jade, you can open your mouth for food, and you can stretch out your hands for clothes. And you can't live in a panic, pretending to be crazy and stupid, Taoguang is obscure, even if you are alive, you are a nest, don't you want to change everything?" Lou Baiyue's eyes were tightly fixed, trying to see through something.

Gu Chensha shook his head again and again: "It's good now, I don't want to change." ”
