The water of the waves is clear, the vast water, and the thousands of sails are racing.

This is the second day that Zhang Chong and others got on the ship.

Yesterday, 50 of them carried 200 stone grain on the dock and got on the boat, and then everyone lined up in two shifts under the command of Pavilion Chief Sun Xun and headed all the way to Zhu'a County.

Their next supply point is there.

Zhang Chong changed shifts today, so he went to the deck with his father.

The cao boat under their feet is a sixteen-oared sailboat about 20 meters long, with the word "Cao" flag and a small flag book "Jinan Guoli City Transfer".

This little dad is whispering to Zhang Chong:

"Second son, I thought about it for a day yesterday, pondered your words that day, and felt that what you said was right, it is indeed 'Those who achieve great things must do not do anything for others.'"

That day, as soon as the fifty of us arrived at Sun Tingchang, the old man asked us to nominate a leader who recognized the grain.

Since Emperor Guangwu dismissed this pawn, the world has been sent to us, not only to pay this money, but also to practice service, and even the boat on the water capsized, but also to the head of the grain to compensate.

Therefore, every time they are transferred to the service, everyone does not regard this grain difference as a flood beast, for fear of breaking the family and destroying the door.

On that day he was going to receive this errand, and I was going to stop it. But Kai said:

'People in the world have always seen that they can advance and retreat when they know the difficulties, so few people do the difficult things in the world.

And the reason why a hero is a hero is not because he was originally, but because he has done heroic deeds and can benefit the people of the world.

Now everyone is afraid of this kind of food, but I feel that this is an opportunity. Others are afraid of difficulties, I face difficulties, I do what others are unwilling to do, dare not do, I have virtue for them.

Plus, snakes can't be headless. That Sun Tingchang, I don't think it's a person to rely on, so this way, we still have to rely on ourselves. ’

At that time, when I heard this, I would still be skeptical. But after a day, I understood. The man on this boat is the smallest. But everybody loves to hear you. Second son, I can be regarded as convinced. ”

Blowing the river breeze, Zhang Chong just smiled shyly at the thumbs up of his little father.

Since he knew that this was the end of the Han Dynasty, he knew that a great uprising was about to break out in the Kanto region.

I know that in another half a century, there will be no one in ten, only five million.

He just wants to seize all opportunities and resources, and he is not sure where his future direction is, because his current class is too low.

Whether it is to fight the world or to take refuge in one party's forces, there is no chance. If he didn't get a crowd soon, he wasn't sure how long his family would live.

Therefore, this time he transferred the labor of the grain, not only to look at the distribution of the powerful along the coast and understand the social network along the coast, but also to firmly grasp the team of 50 people.

Even if the practice is over, everyone will disperse back to the township, but the relationship is still there.

That's why he claimed the errand of the ship's handle, and he was never lazy all the way, and he kept rocking the oars in the barn with the pungmen.

I didn't change shifts until this meeting, so I took the time to come up and take a good look at this Jishui.

In Zhang Chong's previous life, because of the diversion of the Yellow River, Jishui, one of the four desecrations in the world, has disappeared.

But at this time, this water can be described as one of the world's largest rivers.

In the Warring States Period, all the food and goods in the world converged in Linzi from this way, making Linzi of Qi a number of famous capital conferences.

Later, the Qin and Han dynasties were unified, and the water, land and sea goods in the eastern part of the Kanto region were also transferred to the capital by Jishui to supply those imperial relatives and nobles, officials and students, and their servants and concubines to enjoy, and the scale became larger and larger.

At the beginning of the former Han Dynasty, there were only a few hundred boats running on the Jishui River.

Later, when he came to Emperor Xiaowu, he had to transport four million stone of corn beans into Beijing a year.

You must know that so much grain can feed millions of people for four months, and the people in the capital who receive money and eat rice together are less than 200,000. The rest was hoarded in the barn and eaten by the rats.

And I don't know how many people in the world can't even eat a mouthful of wheat rice.

Don't talk about this, the small people are hard, haven't they all been like this since ancient times.

In short, since Xiaowu, this number has to be transferred to Beijing every year, plus the annual transfer of port money, cloth, this Jishui boat is more and more.

As far as Zhang Chong saw now, there were already more than 50 boats. Half of them are from Le'an County, and the rest are from their Jinan country.

Le'an County is the county to the east of them, which is farther away from Aocang, so they set off earlier.

The twenty of them formed a flotilla, which was also a standard sixteen-oared galleon. They set out from Linji, carrying corn, lacquer hemp, fish and salt, and the money from the entire Le'an County last year, all the way against the water.

The boats of Jinan are the same, and they are all about the same. It's just that they have iron officials in the city, and they produce iron, so they transport more iron.

Zhang Chong and his boat specially transported rice, and the 200 stone of rice was tied into 200 loads of straw and stacked neatly in the warehouse.

The ladies had never seen so much food in their lives, and a few of them were smirking when they slept.

Because there's everything in your dreams!

At this time, Sun Xun, who was on the same boat, also went to the deck with the support of his servants.

He had a separate compartment underneath, and when he got on board, he stayed with his young servant and did not come out.

Pickles, wheat rice, and water and wine were all sent to him by Zhang Chong.

It's really fun.

After he came up, he first said hello to Zhang Bingnan. Then he walked up to Zhang Chong, patted his waist, and sighed:

"Sure enough, it's old, it's not as good as before, it's been weak since I got on the ship this time, it seems that the next time I'm going to serve, I'll let Lao Zhang take it."

Lao Zhang is a thief in his pavilion, his Zhang is not Da Sangli Zhang, but he can't write two Zhangs in one stroke, and he is also Zhang Chong's uncle.

Zhang Chong handed over a horse zazi with a look of eyes, and joked while helping Sun Tingchang to sit down:

"Pavilion chief, this is the old man who is strong, loyal to the marquis, and decisive victory in the south of the land; Pavilion chief, thousands of miles to transfer and replenish supplies, and do not lose loyal to the marquis. Besides, such an important matter as Cao Yun still has to be brought by the pavilion chief, and my uncle is afraid that it is a little worse. ”

Loyal to the marquis, Fubo General Ma Yuanye.

Zhang Chong's words made Sun Xun's goatee tremble. I really didn't find that the little second child of the dog family spoke so cleverly and obediently, and he was a good seedling.

He waved his hand, half showing off and half mentioning to Zhang Chong:

"The stone cub is clever, and my uncle will teach some personnel today.

What is Human Resources? That is, in addition to state affairs, it is personnel.

We are tired or not tired of thousands of miles away, and we are not bitter, but it has personnel.

I don't hold my grandson, leave my old wife, and work tiringly, on the one hand, Shijun is in charge, on the other hand, just for this.

Wait for the future, just watch, don't squeak, and see what Uncle Kai is doing. ”

After speaking, he squinted his eyes and did not speak, letting the servant rub his shoulders.

And Zhang Chong and Xiao Dad looked at each other, unable to understand, so they simply stood behind Sun Xun and watched the scenery along the road, thousands of sails racing, and hundreds of boats competing for the current.

At this time, the fleet had already sailed out of Jinan and entered Pingyuan County.

Their next stop is Zhu'a, which is the junction of the three counties of Jinan, Pingyuan County and Taishan County of Yanzhou, and it is also the southern gate of Licheng.

Since ancient times, we must keep the calendar, and we must first keep the blessing of the city.

Because this place is bordered by Jishui in the east and Mount Tai in the west, it is in the throat of the mountains and rivers, and the military value is extremely important.

Therefore, when Geng Yi, the general of the Guangwu faction, begged Zhang Bu to divide Qingzhou, Zhang Bu sent his party Feiyi Tun army to go down and divide his troops to Zhu A, which was to take a fancy to the military value of Zhu A.

However, General Geng was too fierce and attacked the city from Dan and was not hit. But no matter what, Zhu Ah still belongs to the battleground of soldiers.

But just when there were still ten miles of waterway from Zhu'a. Zhang Chong found that the fleet began to stop one after another, and the captains were shouting and shouting there.

Even the captain of Zhang Chong's own ship began to hold up, and someone else had already lowered the stone anchor.

Just when Zhang Chong was puzzled, he saw a scene that shocked him.

At this time, from the reeds by the river, Pitang, in short, anywhere you don't notice, at this time there are boats sailing out.

They work in groups of three or two, each of them finds a corresponding target, and they lean over.

Zhang Chong was about to shout: "Water bandits." ”

Seeing Sun Tingchang, who was sitting in a precarious position, suddenly got up, he shouted at a small wooden boat that was coming: "I didn't expect that this year, it will still be your old Jiang." ”

It was a thin man who was shouted at him, and his appearance was not amazing. It's just that there is no hair, so people can know that they have committed a punishment at a glance.

He would be holding a penny, followed by three small wooden boats. He glanced at Sun Xun on the boat, didn't say anything, just asked someone to throw a hemp rope and lean together.

Only then did Zhang Chong realize that the two knew each other. After that, he saw that the man who was supposed to be rocking in the warehouse also came out.

They carried twenty stone millet on their backs, and under the leadership of a black man, they handed it down one after another.

"Grass, this is smuggling."

Zhang Chong immediately understood. He didn't dare to say much, just watched the Heifu gang do their work.

These people are in the rising sun next door, and they are another hill among their fifty servants.

And this leading black man. It is said that he was requisitioned by the county to be a county pawn, and he also has some means in the township, so several of them are headed by him.

And Zhang Chong paid attention to this person because this person also has skills, and he is "the first knife to be mastered". I should have practiced it when I was a county pawn.

This black man has always been dissatisfied with Zhang Chong, thinking that he is a doll, knows something, and should be the leader.

But what should he do? He thought it was a fool to do this.

After unloading the burden, the prisoners Lao Jiang and Sun Xun nodded, and then led three small wooden boats and disappeared with a whizz.

At the same time, there were other wooden boats that disappeared, as if the scene had never happened before.

Zhang Chong pondered this in his heart, he didn't ask Pavilion Chief Sun, he knew that this old official would definitely not say it.

But he was sure that this matter of stealing and selling grain was definitely not something that a pavilion chief of a hundred stones could do.

You must know that just now, more than 50 boats have stopped, and this has already involved two counties.

Zhang Chong made a bold guess, and he estimated that the entire river was eating this bowl of rice.

And, he also found out about it. It's just that the bald old Jiang obviously didn't give money!

Is there such a thing as credit?

It seems that this trip is getting more and more interesting.

Zhang Chong pondered here, and the voices of the captains over there shouting "start the boat" also sounded one after another.

The fleet finally continued to sail towards Zhu A.
