The outlet of a distant river. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A group of half-sized children who were playing in the evening saw their fleet in surprise and envy, and did not run away, much better than the ones they had seen when they had just left the city.

The small boats on the edge of the estuary were busy getting out of the way, so as not to block the turn of the fleet.

Hou Ruifeng looked at it with a telescope and asked, "Your river embankment has just been repaired, right? Those guys are fishing at the mouth of the river is a bit dangerous, the boat is a little small, and it will be capsized." ”

"Yes, after the truce of the two years, we will have time to repair the river embankment, those people are very well watered, most of the people who fish on the boat can swim across the Yangtze River, Shangxian don't worry. Sun Qing replied.

"Hmm. Hou Ruifeng nodded noncommittally, it is nonsense to talk about safety norms in this era, and he won't say anything.

Moreover, these are all small things, eating is the big problem, and in the binoculars, the group of mostly bare-haired half-sized children and little girls in shabby clothes have not very good complexions and look very thin. Most of the shirtless men on the fishing boats who were looking curiously also showed their ribs.

But the look is okay, not only the children are happy, but the adults are also more relaxed, that is, there are a few old guys with a depressed face,

Of course, this is also temporary.

Hou Ruifeng's modern era has summed up the situation in ancient times, and knows that if the pressure on land and food is not released internally, there will definitely be war.

And now that the three countries have large populations and sufficient soldiers, they are facing greater pressure, and if they don't fight their brains to divide the winners and losers, no one will want to develop, and the elbow will be too great.

"Thankfully, my words worked, and they were able to give them a temporary truce. However, if you don't find something to do for them, then even if there is no war, there is still no way to talk about cooperation, so let's do something that makes the three parties feel that they are profitable at a glance. ”

Hou Ruifeng thought for a while, the boat came to the mouth of the river, and then rushed in directly without stopping.

This is a branch of the Yangtze River, which leads directly to the seashore and is a small estuary.

Upon entering the river, rolling hills and hills begin to appear on both sides, with large woods and some wooden buildings, as well as some small boats.

"In front of it is the salt factory, and the people here basically help the salt factory except for farming and fishing. Sun Qing saw that Hou Ruifeng was very interested, so he introduced the situation here one by one.

"Salt farm, is it drying salt or boiling salt?" Hou Ruifeng handed the telescope to Sun Yu on the side and asked casually.

"It's all boiled salt, it's a bit troublesome to dry salt, and very little is obtained. Sun Qing replied.

"Wow......"

Sun Yu followed Hou Ruifeng's example and put the telescope in front of his eyes, and was immediately stunned, the situation in the mountains and forests in the distance was clearly visible, and the birds that could never be seen could see it clearly.

He hurriedly asked Hou Ruifeng: "Shangxian is this...... What's this magic weapon?"

"Telescopes, Liu Ding and Cao Fu have put one there, this one will be left when I leave, but the lenses should be careful, don't fall them, and cover them when they are used up." Hou Ruifeng instructed, these telescopes are civilian, easy to scratch, if you don't pay attention, they will soon be scrapped.

"Thank you, Shangxian. Sun Yu sincerely thanked him, of course he knew the usefulness of this thing, he had fought more battles than the Guan brothers, although he was under heavy protection, but he also understood the power of the telescope.

Hou Ruifeng nodded, and said to Sun Qing: "Boiling salt is still too wasteful of firewood and pots, when I have time to get you a set of salt drying methods, it is better to go south to the sun, drying salt is the long-term way." ”

"Thank you to the immortals, thank you to the immortals. Sun Qing suddenly smiled and made a gesture.

"What's polite, by the way, where is your power now?" asked Hou Ruifeng curiously.

In the history he studied, Sun Wu's forces once reached Vietnam, and now it would be much better if they could reach Vietnam, where there are a lot of good things.

"In Cochin. Sun Qing replied.

That's in northern Vietnam.

Hou Ruifeng said: "Yes, the fishery and agriculture there are quite good. ”

"Agriculture is not good, fish are everywhere. Sun Yu scanned around with a telescope on the side, and he could interject and speak.

Sun Qing's complexion changed slightly, Hou Ruifeng didn't care, Sun Yu had been fishing with him for an afternoon, and he was relatively familiar, there was nothing wrong with this. He said curiously, "Didn't I hear that the rice there is very good?"

"It's okay, it's not as delicious as what we grow, and most of those guys don't grow either. Sun Yu didn't see his father's face and continued.

"That's right. Hou Ruifeng nodded, the pressure of survival there is not much for the time being, and it is normal for there to be fewer planters.

"And the climate there is not good, people are prone to diseases, and it is not a good place. Sun Qing added.

"Is it mosquitoes and miasma?" Hou Ruifeng asked casually, then took out a large bag of seasonings from his backpack and handed it to a middle-aged eunuch on the side, "This is a condiment, add this when you can cook, it is all subdivided, there is a basic introduction, if you don't understand, come and ask me." ”

"No. The middle-aged eunuch had been standing on the side for an afternoon, and naturally knew the importance of Hou Ruifeng in front of the prince and the emperor, so he respectfully accepted it, and retreated to explain, of course, they would definitely experiment first, but this is a trivial matter.

Only then did Sun Qing speak, "Well, mosquitoes are too powerful, if you are not careful, you can bite people to death." ”

"What a place to be. Let's have a piece of toffee. Hou Ruifeng took out a packet of toffee and distributed it to everyone around him.

Although he ate a lot at noon, he was also a little hungry after fishing for so long, and after chewing two bites, he said, "There is no solution to the mosquitoes for the time being, do you want to drive a boat to the north? There are also some good plots there." ”

"Walk through. The prince chewed the toffee in his mouth, finally put down the binoculars, and said vaguely, "There are a lot of natives there, and if you don't send an army over, you won't be able to grab good territory." ”

That's right.

During the conversation, Hou Ruifeng had a general impression of Sun Wu's power, he looked at Sun Wu very well, after all, their position would be the best if they ignored the Central Plains War, and the potential for development could be rapid even in this period, which was very promising.

At this time, the big ship sailed in front of a village surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The village is on the east side of the river, and there is a large bay at the bottom of the mountain, which stretches to the foot of the mountain, and the water gradually clears, revealing the pebbles below, and the shallowest part is probably only at the foot of the mountain.

And in the shallow water, there are more bare-fed little babies playing, surrounded by some women washing things and clothes.

"How far are we from the beach?" asked Hou Ruifeng.

"About two hours. Sun Qing replied.

Hou Ruifeng saw that there was a good dock in front of him, so he said: "Let's rest here first, and then leave after eating, it will be dark to arrive anyway." ”

"Okay. Sun Qing nodded, and immediately asked the eunuchs around him to handle it.

The little babies and women in the shallow water area were looking curiously at this time, they had seen a lot of big ships, because there was a good wharf next to this place to load and unload salt, timber and grain, so every year they had seen a lot of big ships, and they were not too surprised by this line of boats, but they were a little surprised by the delicacy of the big ships.

"What kind of flag is that, it's so beautiful. A little girl who was beside her mother asked.

"I don't know, but it's definitely a big man, you can see the color of the flag, what kind of words is it on it?" said a fast-mouthed thin aunt on the side.

"I don't know. The women around shook their heads.

"It's a god, God!" said a swarthy boy in his teens who was still playing in the water with a bird in the water.

Tianzi?

The women around were stunned for a moment, and their sensitive faces changed, and they picked up the things that were washed, and hurriedly stood up and ran home, and those who were playing in the water also shouted loudly, so that the others understood the importance of the matter, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

The place where Hou Ruifeng got off the boat was not deep, and he could see the chaotic situation there, shook his head, and walked over with Sun Yu and a team of guards and eunuchs.

Sun Qing ordered some things and food at night on the boat, but he didn't follow, and his physical strength was not allowed to run around all day, so this situation would be handed over to the prince.

And here Li Zheng was startled by the chaos under the mountain, and when he went down the hill, he was muttered twice by the women who came back, and he was even more frightened and frightened, and hurriedly ordered his grandson, who followed him, to say, "Go back and kill the ducks and geese, and then bring them down." ”

"Oh. Li Zheng's grandson was in his 20s, tall and strong, and he was a little scared when he heard the words of the women, but now he heard that he didn't need to go down for the time being, and suddenly turned back with a relaxed face.

"Alas......" The gray-haired Li Zheng sighed, despairing of this grandson who can only eat and fight. Then he saw that the other party had sent a group of soldiers over, and immediately greeted him.

But before he approached, guards and eunuchs stepped forward to stop him, and the eunuch said lightly: "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Immortal, you are the Lizheng here, tell me not to disturb people." ”

"Yes, yes. ”

Li Zheng heard the eunuch's words, and his body, which had just cooled down, began to sweat again, and hurriedly turned back, this time it was not something that some ducks and geese could send away, and it was necessary to get a few sheep from Xu Laocai in the village.

At this time, there were still a few unreasonable boys standing in the water, looking at the village who was nodding their heads, not knowing what was going on.

"Brother, let's go home too. There was also a skinny Lori hiding in the shallow grass on the shore, estimated to be a little over three years old, and whispered to a little baby who was estimated to be just walking by the water.
