Zhu Yunwen silently strengthened his thoughts in his heart. It was only then that another wave of worry soon arose. What if the third child doesn't send someone to find him?

Or maybe the people he sent out are stupid and can't find himself? It's time for me to find an opportunity to send my news.

In an instant, Zhu Yunwen had the idea of creating opportunities for himself. In an instant, his face darkened.

In this gang of thieves, Qiu Niang was the only one by his side, and all the other people he could contact were from the White Lotus Sect, and he had no chance to send the news out at all.

Qiu Niang sat aside, peeling a yellow, orange, orange, red and gorgeous persimmon with her head down. The tender flesh was exposed, and Qiu Niang had a smile on her face and sent the persimmon to Zhu Yunwen's eyes.

"Erlang, eat a persimmon." Zhu Yunwen looked at the persimmon in front of him, his eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his face: "I thought of it!" Qiu Niang blinked blankly and asked, "What did Erlang think?" Zhu Yunwen shook his head.

This is something that needs to be done at the right time. He twisted his waist and started from the soft couch, and took the persimmon that Qiu Niang peeled for himself: "You rest for a while, I'll go to the outside deck to blow the wind." Qiu Niang nodded, turned around and took a gray-blue cloak from the side and tied it on Zhu Yunwen's shoulder.

"It's windy outside, Erlang won't get cold." Zhu Yunwen smiled at the corner of his mouth and patted the back of Qiu Niang's hand: "I know." After saying that, he lowered his head and nibbled two mouthfuls of persimmons, and when he stepped out of the cabin door, a whole persimmon had been sucked into his stomach.

Standing at the door of the cabin, Zhu Yunwen pinched the persimmon skin and threw it away. The orange-red persimmon skin drew a parabola in his vision and disappeared below the deck beneath his feet.

Not long after, there was a commotion from below deck. Zhu Yunwen had also walked to the deck railing and walked along the aisle on one side to the bow of the boat.

On the bow mast hangs a merchant flag with the word 'Jia'. A small merchant ship with hundreds of materials, there is not much cargo under the hold, and the draft is not too deep.

It's just that Zhu Yunwen can tell that this ship was also built by Longjiang Shipyard. The samples on the ship are everywhere revealing the fixed style of the official shipbuilding of Longjiang Shipyard.

Zhu Yunwen quickly walked to the bow of the boat, grasping the railing with both hands, looking at the lively and crowded water in front of him.

It was late autumn, and there were more merchant ships on the canal than usual. At this time, there are not many days before winter, the south is still acceptable, but the north has begun to cool down.

In addition, it is winter, and it will be the end of the year. Most of the people from all over the world can only rest for a while at this time.

Chinese New Year, for the people of the Central Plains, is always a custom that is rooted and difficult to get rid of. It is precisely because of this that there will be more merchant ships on the canal full of goods from all over the world, and these merchants will deliver the final batch of goods to their destination before the northern rivers freeze over, and earn enough money for the last silver of the year, so that they can go home for the New Year.

On both sides of the canal, it will not be long before there will be a canal station belonging to the yamen of the transshipment envoy, first, to check the suspicious ships on the canal, and second, to ensure the safety of the canal.

The places where these canals are located sometimes turn into small markets. Although there may not be a wharf on the canal, it is possible for ships to dock and go ashore to buy something that is in short supply.

On the water, the official express ships of the local government and the Yamen of the Transshipment Department traveled faster than the merchant ships, maintaining the smooth flow of the canal, the artery of the empire.

Roads, waterways, and transportation determine the speed at which a nation's wealth operates. Looking at the busy canal in front of him, which generates countless values at every moment, Zhu Yunwen suddenly thought of an article he saw in the imperial court newspaper not long ago.

The article is about the influence of official roads, waterways, sea and land on the court and the world. At that time, Zhu Yunwen didn't feel much impact.

No matter what, the goods can get to one place after all. It's just that now seeing such a busy scene of merchant ships coming and going on the canal, Zhu Yunwen has a little more different feelings.

The relationship between transport and the economy seems to be far closer than I had previously thought. So, this is also the reason why the imperial court began to build that kind of new cement road.

I heard that the imperial court is also working on a faster freight cart that can pull more goods. The third child is really doing practical things one by one.

Zhu Yunwen sighed in his heart.

"What is Zhu Gongzi thinking when he stands here, looking at the canal?" Liu Zongsheng's voice came from behind, with some curiosity.

Zhu Yunwen immediately turned around and bent over: "Taibao." ”

"I have said to Zhu Gongzi many times, you and I don't have to worry about these common so-called false courtesies. Although you and I are very different in age, we are like-minded, so what about calling me brother? Liu Zongsheng smiled, put one hand behind his back, and also walked to the bow of the boat, and slapped the other hand on the railing.

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said softly: "Mr. Liu is a person with great ambitions, how dare Yun Wei talk about it with his peers." Even if he bluffed this anti-thief leader and could attract the other party to think about it with his brother, Zhu Yunwen never dared to take it seriously.

Liu Zongsheng didn't force it, and the more Zhu Yunwen understood the rules so well, the more he valued it. He also looked at the busy canal and said, "What was Zhu Gongzi thinking before? But what are we waiting for? ”

"The road!" Zhu Yunwen waved his hand to the river on the bow of the boat and said: "When I looked at the busy scene of merchant ships in the canal before, I thought of the situation in Shanxi Province, and I want Mr. Liu to pay more attention to it at that time. ”

"Roads?" Liu Zongsheng's brows furrowed slightly, revealing a puzzled gaze: "Can Zhu Gongzi exonerate me for one or two?" He can expect to get more ideas from different angles from Zhu Yunwen.

At the same time, Liu Zongsheng had to sigh that the education of the Son of Heaven was really incomparable to ordinary people.

Zhu Yunwen is used to such conversations. Fortunately, he hasn't done anything else in Fengyang City over the years, but the imperial court's palace newspaper is a must-see.

Even, after staying in Fengyang City for a year, he could even get the newspapers printed by the book and newspaper bureau that Xie Jin had made.

Whether it is Di Bao or Wen Bao, he has mastered a lot of things about the third child over the years.

That's why. He was able to gain more trust and respect again and again in Liu Zongsheng, the anti-thief leader.

Zhu Yunwen's eyes sank, revealing the calmness and contemplation that would only be revealed when he had a conversation in the past.

"Mr. Liu, we can now compare the world to a person, a giant." Compare the world to one person.

Liu Zongsheng's eyebrows raised slightly. This is the first time I have heard such a statement. The curiosity in his heart suddenly increased.

Zhu Yunwen continued: "If the world is a person, then these official roads and water channels can be regarded as the bloodline in this person's body. If the blood is blocked, the person will inevitably get sick and there will be problems in the body. To ensure the smooth flow of these bloodlines, these people, goods, soldiers and horses walking on the road can go where they should go in time. ”

"It's nature." Liu Zongsheng responded. Zhu Yunwen changed his mouth at this time: "However, as you can see below, Shanxi Road is a heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys that are about to be blocked!" If it is not handled properly, the great cause of the gentleman will be hindered, and our expectations will end in failure! Zhu Yunwen first grabbed people, and then shocked Liu Zongsheng.

Sure enough, Liu Zongsheng's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness. His voice also became solemn: "Zhu Gongzi! Please elaborate on this! Zhu Yunwen shook his shoulders and looked at Liu Zongsheng: "Mr. Liu, we all know that the Shanxi Road runs from north to south, the land is long and narrow, the loess high slope on the west side blocks the road to the west, and there are also Taihang Mountains on the east side. Two mountains and a river, the terrain is extremely dangerous, and a river in the middle of the river enters the yellow. In this kind of terrain, no matter whether you enter or leave Shanxi Road, there are only a few passes that can be used by us. Originally, I watched the situation in Shanxi Province, and the passes everywhere could block the invasion of the imperial army. However, the imperial court can also garrison troops with Tongguan, Huaiqing Mansion, Zhending Mansion, and Baoding Mansion, which can block the road of our Shanxi Road to the south and east! As for the north end, Mr. also knows that it is Datong Mansion and Shanxi Xingdu Division. It is one of the nine important towns of the imperial court, and has always been governed by the imperial court. I'm afraid that we don't have much strength to borrow from in Datong Mansion. In this way, the way in and out of our waiting for us to be completely cut off by the imperial court. Liu Zongsheng's face quietly became ugly.

Points that are beneficial to Shanxi Province will also be used by the Ming Court. As long as the two ends of Shanxi Road, which runs from north to south, are blocked by the imperial court, then the imperial court has the possibility of surrounding and sealing Shanxi Road.

Liu Zongsheng said in a deep voice: "Master Zhu! Zhu Yunwen looked up. Liu Zongsheng's face was solemn: "Please also ask Zhu Gongzi to solve this dilemma!" Zhu Yunwen was silent for a moment.

In Liu Zongsheng's thought, this would be a dead end. Zhu Yunwen pinched the time, nodded and said, "Please let me think about it again, sir." Liu Zongsheng nodded hurriedly: "Zhu Gongzi just thinks!" Think carefully! "The reason why the Holy Sect wants to go to Shanxi Dao is to do those Jin merchants who are rich and rival the country, and what they are doing is also those remnants of the former Yuan outside the Guan.

Shanxi Road is going to go anyway. This dilemma must be solved no matter what. Zhu Yunwen pondered for a long time.

In fact, the life or death of these anti-thieves is not their own business at all. However, in order to lay eggs through the shell and take Qiu Niang back to the sky, this top matter of his own family still has to continue to turn around with these anti-thieves.

When Zhu Yunwen pinched the time, calculating that Liu Zongsheng had been waiting for about the same amount of time, he spoke: "Pingyang Mansion!" After waiting for a long time, Liu Zongsheng, who got this place name in Shanxi Province, couldn't help frowning: "Pingyang Mansion? ”

"Yes!" Zhu Yunwen nodded in a deep voice: "Pingyang Mansion!" If Mr. Liu wants to start an incident in Shanxi Province, he must control Pingyang Mansion as soon as possible! At that time, whether it is crossing the river to attack Guanzhong, or going north to the river into the loop, it can be dealt with calmly. Liu Zongsheng's brows furrowed, he didn't speak, he was trying to recall the terrain of Shanxi Road, but he couldn't be exhaustive.

As for Kanyu. At this time, it seems that things like Kanyu have always been available only in the imperial court and the government.

Ordinary people can't get these things at all, let alone their own court thieves. Zhu Yunwen glanced at Liu Zongsheng, knowing that the other party did not know the topography of Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi Road, nor did he know how to take the route he said to enter Guanzhong and go north to the Hetao.

He looked around and took a torch from the side that had burned out last night. Zhu Yunwen took the torch, pointed the dark end at the splint, and began to depict the terrain of Shanxi Road in front of Liu Zongsheng's eyes.

At the beginning of the first year, Liu Zongsheng didn't know what Zhu Yunwen was doing with a torch stick in his hand. But when the zigzag lines were connected together, Liu Zongsheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

This is the topography of Yamashi-do! Liu Zongsheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look at Zhu Yunwen, who was bending down and continuing to draw the topography of Shanxi Road.

I've really picked up a treasure this time. Zhu Chongba is really old, and even such a civil and military emperor can be deposed.

He should be replaced by himself! Under Liu Zongsheng's excited gaze, Zhu Yunwen outlined the terrain of the entire Shanxi Province with little effort.

On the deck, the pitch-black carbon ink outlines the terrain of the two mountains and one river in Shanxi Province.

Mountains and rivers, state capitals, official roads, post roads, and guards are almost all outlined on the plywood by him.

"Mr. Liu, what you see in front of you is Shanxi Road." Zhu Yunwen introduced in a very calm tone. Thanks to the third child.

If it weren't for the opportunity for him to go out of the palace and follow Cao Guogong to learn military affairs. In order to be able to suppress him, he made up for the world's popularity, and what he did was to try to suppress him in military affairs.

Although in the end, he did not beat the third child. However, these things that I thought were useless at the beginning still worked.

Liu Zongsheng suppressed the shock in his heart, slowly squatted down, and approached to check the terrain of Shanxi Road depicted by Zhu Yunwen.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen also paused, holding the torch in his hand and pointing to a few places.

"Mr. Liu, this is Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi Province, which can lead to Taiyuan Mansion to the north, and Henan or Guanzhong can be crossed by crossing the river to the south. When entering Henan, you need to beware of the imperial court soldiers and horses in Shaanzhou. In the customs, you can cross the river from Puzhou City, seize the Chaoyi City of Shaanxi Province, and then seize the Tongzhou City, and you will have a foothold. If the imperial court deploys a large army in this southward place, we can also go north from Pingyang Mansion to the north at that time. Take Ronghe, Hejin, Jizhou, Yonghe, Shilou, Yongningzhou, Linxian, and then go west into the Hetao. ”

"Zhu Gongzi's great talent is the luck of the Holy Sect!" Liu Zongsheng turned his head, looked at Zhu Yunwen with a calm face beside him, and said words of praise from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Yunwen stood up and bowed over: "Yun Wei will not give up on Mr. Liu, what he has learned in his life, I only hope to help Mr. achieve great things!" Liu Zongsheng nodded, and took a deep look at the topography of Shanxi Road outlined by Zhu Yunwen on the ground.

He took a deep breath and stood up with his hands clapped on his knees. His gaze solemnly looked at the smiling Zhu Yunwen.

"If I get into trouble, Mr. will be the No. 1 military advisor of my Holy Sect, just like in the late Western Han Dynasty, Wuhou was to Liu Bei!" Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly.

It seems that he has won the trust of this Liu anti-thief. He bowed slightly: "Mr. Yun Wei Xie appreciates." Liu Zongsheng was already heartily laughing loudly: "Military advisor! Let's talk to a certain person, what should a certain do first when he goes to Shanxi Road? ”……………… Recommended commuter passes
