Chapter 174 Yangzhou Hangou is full of bones

Wrapped around his waist for 100,000 yuan, he rode a crane down to Yangzhou.

If you can have this, heaven and earth will be a flat boat.

On the canal shrouded in light mist, three official ships came from the north.

On the big ship at the head, Li Xuan stood at the bow of the boat, standing proudly.

The black robes showed off his seven-foot-tall posture thoroughly, and his right hand rested on the long sword at his waist, as if he might strike at any time.

With a white sash wrapped around his right arm and a black hat, he had a handsome face, and a pair of sharp eyes looked at the entire river in front of him.

The river breeze blew, faintly carrying a fishy smell.

As far as Li Xuan's eyes can see, the long river is vast, and on the canal, ships come and go, thousands of sails, and the sails are slender, and they are extremely busy.

Turning sideways, Li Xuan's gaze had already fallen on the slender household on the right side of the river,

In June, the slender households on the ditch wore only a thin vest, and pulled the heavy cargo ships northward with great noise.

"Hangou!" Li Xuan whispered softly, the current river is the famous ditch.

Hangou is the most difficult section of the river on the entire Grand Canal, it is good to go south with the water, but there are many difficulties to go north against the water.

The hot weather in summer is nothing, but in winter, it is cold and bone-chilling.

When the weather gets worse, I don't know how many people will die on the side of the road.

"Lang Jun, there are twenty miles ahead of Yangzhou." A clear and crisp voice suddenly sounded behind Li Xuan.

Li Xuan turned around, and his eyes were on a palm-sized melon seed face.

There is not the slightest pink on his face, but his cheeks are ruddy, his eyes are cold, and he wears a light cyan ripple round-necked robe, dressed as a man, and looks very chic.

Although Xu Wan'er is dressed as a man, her slender waist and elegant posture can be seen at a glance that it is her daughter's home.

Especially the tip of her nose is very upturned, and with her delicate facial features, she looks like she has a comfortable beauty, which is unforgettable.

She looks like a lonely beauty without opening her mouth, but when she opens her mouth, she is very choking: "Further ahead is the Sanwan water, hundreds of feet long, cramped and unhindered, the water is plummeting, and the boats coming and going are all in danger, I don't know how many people have delayed their trips, and I don't know how many slender people have sunk to the bottom of the river because of this."

"Why isn't the Yangzhou Thorn Mansion open for repair?" Li Xuan was a little surprised, such a river, as long as it is repaired, I don't know how much more convenient it will be.

Yangzhou set up the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the Metropolitan Governor of Yangzhou was either led by the prince or given to the deceased ministers, so all matters inside and outside the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were responsible for the long history.

At the same time, the governor of Yangzhou concurrently served as the governor of Yangzhou, handling all affairs inside and outside Yangzhou.

Shi Dou Xuande, the governor of Yangzhou, was born in the Dou clan of Longxi, and was a relative of Empress Taimu, the wife of Li Yuan, the ancestor of Tang Gaozu, and was a trusted minister of the emperor.

The weight of power is no less than that of the governor of Yizhou, Li Xiaoyi, the general of Zuo Qianniuwei.

"It takes a lot, it takes a long time, and it delays the luck, who will do this kind of thing," Xu Wan'er stood there, her eyes wandering, and her gaze fell on the slender households on both sides: "Besides, there are them, once Sanwan is opened, I don't know how many people will lose their livelihoods because of this, and I don't know how many people will lose the opportunity to make oil and water because of this, so even if someone wants to do it, it will definitely not be able to do it."

The most important thing is the last sentence, the whole Yangzhou does not know how many officials want to fish for oil and water from this river, and if there is a little less here, they have to make up for it from other places.

"And the Cao Gang." A sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Wan'er's mouth, which was unusually clear.

Xu Wan'er is a native of Yangzhou, but she was sold to Luoyang in her early years.

Although Yangzhou thin horse began to prevail in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it did not appear in the Ming and Qing dynasties, in fact, in today, Yangzhou thin horses have appeared for a long time, some people are very evil, prefer thin and young daughters, naturally there are people to satisfy this hobby.

Xu Wan'er was sold to Luoyang when she was very young, but she was born thin and weak, she couldn't gain weight no matter how much she ate, and it didn't take long to pick up customers, so although she was both beautiful and artistic, she was still a clean person.

"Cao Gang!" Li Xuan took a light breath and looked into the distance, Li Xuan said softly: "The Cao Gang rose in the former Sui Dynasty, since the opening of the Grand Canal, it was formed by the fiber households on both sides of the strait for their livelihood, Yangzhou has always been the base camp of the Cao Gang, and we will deal with the Cao Gang sooner or later."

Li Xuan had a clear feeling that the Cao Gang must be in touch with the Tianyin Sect.

In other words, the Tianyin Sect will definitely not let go of the Cao Gang.

Since Chen Shuozhen raised troops that year, the DPRK and China began to strengthen their control over Jiangnan.

Li Zhi and Empress Wu, as well as the hundreds of officials in the court, did not treat the people of Jiangnan more harshly, but reduced taxes, so that Jiangnan has been prosperous in commerce and trade in recent years, and the phenomenon that the poor people at the bottom cannot survive is becoming less and less.

However, there are few, and they are barely able to eat half a meal, and a large number of people still live at the bottom, especially the households on both sides of the canal.

These people are all strong and powerful men, as long as they can pick on what they pay attention to, the slightest provocation will be a big mess.

At that time, under the command of Li Zitong, Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou, there were many slender households.

Not to mention that in later generations, there is also the legend of "Mo Dao Shiren has one eye, inciting the Yellow River to rebel in the world".

If Li Xuan was a member of the Tianyin Sect, he would definitely not let go of the Cao Gang and their subordinates. new

This time when he came to Yangzhou, in addition to visiting Shi Dou Xuande, the governor of Yangzhou, Li Xuan also wanted to see how much the Tianyin Sect had infiltrated the Cao Gang.

If it affects his trip to Wuzhou, perhaps this cancer should be cleared in advance.

"Lang Jun, mung bean soup is here!" A joyful voice came from the cabin, followed by a plump and round Qiqiao who walked up from the wooden ladder.

I saw Qiqiao wearing a light cyan petal pattern round-neck suit, holding a tray, on the tray, there was a small white porcelain bowl, and a bowl of mung bean soup was in the bowl.

Watching Qiqiao come up, shoulder to shoulder with Xu Wan'er, the two women who were also dressed looked like a pair of sisters.

Li Xuan stretched out his hand to pick up the porcelain bowl, looked at the green cold bean soup, drank it clean in two or three sips, put down the porcelain bowl, Li Xuan smiled and said, "It tastes good."

"There are several bowls below, Lang Jun, I'll serve them for you." Qiqiao turned around and was about to go down, Li Xuan grabbed him, then pulled him to his side, scratched his nose and said, "It's good to drink some mung bean soup, it's easy to have diarrhea if you drink too much, besides, we're going to Yangzhou soon."

"Oh!" Qiqiao nodded, looking up at the end of the river in the distance, and a majestic city loomed.

"It's my luck." Xu Wan'er walked to Qiqiao's side and said softly: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the Jiangnan Cao boat has gathered in Yangzhou in February every year, entered the Bianhe River through the Huai River in April, and arrived at the mouth of the river in June and July.

"It's the credit of Yu Xiu." Li Xuan looked back into the cabin.

On the window side, Yu Ze was playing against Wang Bo, both of them were good at each other, fighting wits and courage, fighting to the death.

"Speaking of which, along the way, I won't see the next game of Go from the prince?" Xu Wan'er looked at Li Xuan with some curiosity.

"Go is exhausting and exhausting, and if you have that mind and time, it is better to ponder and ponder people." After a pause, Li Xuan's eyes turned cold, and he said solemnly: "I will only stop in Yangzhou for three days, visit some old ones, and the governor of Yangzhou, and after purchasing materials, I need to rush to Runzhou, visit Runzhou Thorn Shi to Qingyuan, and then rush to Changzhou, visit Changzhou Thorn Shi Shen Qian, and then go to Hangzhou, this king is still thinking about whether to rush to Yuezhou first, visit Duan Gong, the governor of Yuezhou, and then go to Wuzhou, time is very tight."

Hangzhou is very close to Wuzhou, but Li Xuan doesn't want to enter Wuzhou from Hangzhou so quickly, he needs time to add extra pressure to some people.

"Whoa!" The corners of Xu Wan'er's mouth twitched slightly, even if she had been a Qingqi person for so many years, she hadn't seen anyone say that she would go to see this assassin today and the governor tomorrow, but this is the truth.

"Yangzhou, a prosperous place since ancient times, in such a city, there must be countless stories, I hope these stories will not be caught up by us."

Li Xuan was a little lighter, when he came to Jiangnan this time, the emperor put it on the table to attract attention, and he didn't know how many people were staring at him, and he was afraid that there would be a toss.

But sometimes, tossing and tossing is a good thing.
