Chapter 8 History on the River
The flooded water, also known as the Tongtian River, according to Ruban, is the confluence of this flooded water from the endless and towering snow-capped mountains in the west of the western pole of Shu, and its source is unknown to anyone. In this place, it and the Min River, which passes through the CD Plain, converge, and the water is suddenly more powerful, so the world calls it the Great River.
There is a great river in the north and a great river in the south.
The county seat of Yandao is the place where these three rivers converge, located on the south bank of the river. Further south, the terrain rises steeply, and the mountains stretch to an unknown place. It can be said that this city is an important node in the southernmost part of the CD Plain. After passing the Yan Road, it entered Zhuti County in the Nanzhong region, which is not the traditional Shu land category.
Gao Lin and Gao Xiangdu were still children, and when they saw such a vast river for the first time, they couldn't help but cheer. At this time, more than two months have passed since the death of their parents, and Gao Ming and Wang Tianyun's careful care of them still has this journey, which makes them forget the grief of losing their parents for a while. This made Gao Ming and Wang Tianyun feel a lot more relaxed in their hearts.
Compared with the big river north of Shangluo, the water of this big river is more vast and turbulent. In the Yandao, the widest part of the river is tall and 100 zhang, and the turbulent river water stirs up countless water vapor, covering the water surface in a white expanse, and the scene is very spectacular.
No monk can leap across this vast river, not even Gao Ming, not even in the online games of that world. The only way to cross this river is by boat. The river is too vast for any skilled craftsman to build such a long bridge.
Gao Ming and the others are now crossing the river on a large boat that is more than ten zhang long.
"Can you know where this great river flows?" Gao Ming actually knew the basin of this great river best, he just wanted to see if this person was really that erudite.
Listening to Gao Ming's question, Ru Ban raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a bright voice: "Take a boat down the river from here in Yandao, pass through Jiangyang Ba County, and enter Jingzhou after Badong. Back then, Shang Zhaolie attacked Wu, and the navy army took this road. It's a pity that Yidu, which had just come out of the mountains of Yizhou, was burned by Lu Yi, the general of Eastern Wu, and returned with a fiasco. It's a pity. ”
"Oh," Gao Ming likes to learn about the history of this world the most, and he can't help but be interested when he hears this. Not only because he has not forgotten the mission he came to this world, but also because he was very interested in history in the first place. "Your Majesty said quickly, don't play tricks again. ”
Ru Ban saw that everyone was looking at him expectantly, and his heart was extremely useful. He has not been bad at talent since he was a child, but he is only an eighth-grade cultivator so far, and the bad thing is that he uses his energy on other miscellaneous things and has no intention of cultivating. And the reason why he was hired to the county guard mansion is also because he is really knowledgeable, especially the history and customs of Shudi, and Ru Ban can know it well.
"I think that Dongwu betrayed the covenant and took advantage of the Northern Expedition of the Shu Shang generals to attack Jingzhou, and then killed the Shu Shang general Guan Fei and occupied the entire territory of Jingzhou. Shang Zhaolie and Guan Fei are famous as monarchs and ministers, and Enruo brothers. Ignoring the opposition in the country, he mobilized the strength of the whole country to crusade against Soochow and avenge Guan Fei. But the path of Naba Mountain is so narrow, the hundreds of thousands of troops of Shu Shang cannot pass through quickly, and the front and rear companies and camps are hundreds of miles long. ”
Lu Yi, the general of Eastern Wu, saw this, he took advantage of the fact that the vanguard of the Shu Shang army had just come out of the mountain pass, and the rear army was still hundreds of miles away, and suddenly attacked with fire and defeated the Shu Shang forward battalions. At that time, the vanguard defeated army broke and fled, and the rear army was still advancing the army, how could it win in such a situation. As for the sailors of Shu Shang, due to the turbulent water in Bashan, there was no place on both sides of the strait to camp on the shore, so they could only watch the robe on the shore being chased and killed by Dongwu on the boat and could not save each other. ”
"It's a pity. Ru Ban said here and sighed, "Zhao Lie Xiongtu is roughly not inferior to Emperor Wu of Zhou, after defeating Zhou Wu in the battle of Hanzhong, he was waiting to march on two roads to seize the two capitals, but he didn't want to suffer such a crushing defeat in Yidu, and two months later, he died of illness. This destiny is not in Zhaolie, this destiny will eventually return to the Great Jin. Don't hide it from the prince, our people in Yizhou have been hurt by Zhaolie so far, and hate that such a wise monarch has failed to achieve great things. ”
Looking at Ru Ban's slightly depressed expression, Gao Ming couldn't help but laugh dumbly. He has never been part of this world, and he doesn't even know anything about the history of this world. Before I met Wang Tianci, I couldn't even touch the book. After meeting Wang Tianci, he was busy cultivating all day long. It was only when he met this wonderful person that he heard about the history of this world.
The boat they were in had no sails, and was only paddling slowly by a few boatmen on either side.
Gao Ming stood proudly at the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, and changed the topic and asked Ru Bandao, who was also standing at the bow of the boat: "I don't know what is the main livelihood of the Yandao here?"
"There has been an ancient tea horse road on this side of the Yandao since ancient times, connecting our Shu and Nanzhong, Ningzhou, and even Jiaozhi and even poison and other places. The tea, salt, brocade and porcelain produced by us are the most popular items among these merchants, and the jade, agate, ivory and other items on their side are also liked by the rich people of our Shu region. ”
Ru Ban said this, and his face showed a proud look again, "Don't hide it from the prince, the wealth of Shu, in your opinion, although you don't dare to say that the first is in the world, but you don't lose to Luoye City and other places." Not to mention that the rich merchants of Shu County are like clouds, even the rich merchants of Qianwei Jiangyang and even Hanjia Guanghan are also everywhere. In and out of the carriage into a team, the entourage is like a cloud. What's more, Peiyu Dai Jin, intended to be a prince. Not only because of the abundant products of Shudi, but also because of the ancient tea horse road, together with the north and south, has created a large number of wealthy merchants. The country of abundance, our Shu land deserves it. ”
"Oh. When Gao Ming heard this, he was also happy in his heart. After he and Wang Tianyun had a wedding in Wuyang, the Wang family not only gave Wang Tianyun a lot of dowry, but also distributed dozens of slaves. Shu is full of displaced people, and there are many people who plant grass on the roadside to sell their children and daughters. Except for Nianqiu, who are old people, the others have just been bought. This makes Gao Ming, who has never lived such a big family, secretly worried. As an otaku, he can't farm, can't invent and create, and along the way, he is very worried about his future livelihood. At this time, listening to Ruban's words, it was like seeing the sun through the clouds.
He had never been a boss before, and he always had the mindset of a part-time worker. At this time, he suddenly reacted, isn't he the boss now?
These slaves use good words, they are employees who earn money for themselves, not a burden for themselves.
"It's better to do business, business comes quickly. Gao Ming thought excitedly, "The salt, brocade, silk and other things in Shu have always been bestsellers." It seems that it is extremely correct for me to decide to come to Yizhou. ”
"Shame, auntie, why are there so many bare-assed people over there. "When the boat was about to reach the shore, someone had already taken the rope and flew to the shore to give it to the slender men by the river. When these slender men pulled the fiber, they were almost naked, and several people carried the thick rope on their shoulders and shouted the horn to move forward.
Gao Ming and Wang Tianyun asked Gao Lin and Gao Xiang to call him his uncle-in-law and aunt. Seeing this scene at this time, Xiao Gaolin covered her eyes with both hands, but her fingers were slightly separated and a small slit was slightly separated, looking curiously at this scene that she had never seen before, and shouted crisply.
Wang Tianyun saw it, and with a "ah" on her lips, she hurriedly asked Nianqiu to take Xiao Gaolin back to the cabin. It made Gao Ming laugh.
This is finally here.
