As soon as the icebreaker passed, a channel opened up on the river, and more than a dozen large ships were already lined up on the water.

The big ships were lowered on the ladders, and thousands of barefoot men were carrying sacks on them, which were full of goods from the north that needed to be transported to the south for sale.

This is the Qi family's cargo ship, and it has to go back and forth from the south to the north several times a year. Fruits, salt, and spices from the south were transported to the north, and by the way, snowy specialties from the north were purchased and shipped back to the south. The Qi family is in Yangzhou, and the prosperous Jiangnan is their paradise. Kyoto is too cold and commerce is not thriving......

Each cargo ship can carry thousands of people and millions of pounds of cargo. The strong load capacity causes it to be slow.

From the north to the south, it is necessary to travel dozens of large states, and the distance is more than tens of millions of kilometers. The scenery on both sides of the strait is infinite, and the customs and customs are stopping. Every time the big ship goes to a big state, it has to stop for a while to replenish supplies and other supplies. So the trip will take at least two months.

The boat on which Zhou Sheng and others were riding can also be called a passenger ship, carrying not goods, but passengers going to the south. Some of these people are relatives, and some are doing small businesses. The difference between the price of goods in the north and the south is very large. In the north, you can buy more than 10 catties of rare earths for a penny, and in the south, a catty of rare earths can be sold for 30 yuan.

......

"Woo~~"

The ship's horn sounded a few times, and the fleet set sail.

The current is from south to north, so the fleet is going against the current. Fortunately, the speed of the water is not large, otherwise the fleet would have been slower.

Many travelers stood on the deck and looked around. Just got on board and everything was fresh. This is an inland river boat, and the boat surface is also very stable, unlike the rough waves on the ocean, and the boat sways left and right. Despite this, there are still many people who get seasick, their legs are weak, and they vomit a mess.

Zhou Sheng stood on the side of the boat, holding on to the railing, and saw the scene on the river.

The two sides of the strait are white, and the mountains are wrapped. There are ice holes on the ice that have not thawed, and fishermen in cotton jackets are catching fish with scoops. The fish are frozen and can be scraped up with a scoop......

The big river, the big mountain, a magnificent, who is the lord of ups and downs!

Just as Zhou Sheng was sighing, a boatman next to him suddenly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.

The passenger was a middle-aged fat man, and when he suddenly fell ill, the people around him immediately hid far away, formed a circle and stretched their necks to watch the excitement. No one came up to take care of it, and they were all afraid of getting into trouble.

"The sheep are crazy, they are all cramping......"

"It's like a cigarette addiction, and those who smoke a lot of cigarettes are sick."

In the archipelago above the South China Sea, there is a beautiful plant called Forget-me-weed. Smoking the tobacco made of this flower and plant can make people flutter and forget all their worries and sorrows. It is a psychotropic drug that can be addictive.

After taking a sip, I can't quit.

The middle-aged man went to dig out his purse with trembling fingers, his head was not very bright, and he couldn't open the mouth of the purse.

Zhou Sheng squatted down and opened his purse, and inside was a medicine powder, which was Wushi powder, which was made of forget-worry grass.

Seeing Yaosan, the middle-aged fat man's confused eyes flashed with excitement, and his trembling hands directly stuffed a packet of Yaosan into his mouth. After a while, his body gradually returned to normal, and his eyes returned to clarity. stood up and wiped a handful of foam from his mouth, took Zhou Sheng's hand and said excitedly: "Little brother, it's really xiexie, I didn't expect to get a little seasick as soon as I got on the boat, which caused this smoking addiction to ......"

In order to thank Zhou Sheng, this person actually wanted to invite Zhou Sheng to smoke a lot.

......

......

In a large but somewhat damp cabin, a middle-aged fat man lay on the bed, pipe in hand, spitting smoke. There was also a weasel next to it, sniffing for smoke. At this time, the middle-aged man spat a cigarette into the weasel's little head.

One person, a weasel was so happy that he got carried away, and he probably forgot what his surname was.

Most of the rest of the room is an iron cage with small animals inside. Snow wolf cubs, weasel children, fox cubs, squirrels, voles.

The middle-aged man's name is Qi Mao, and he is a child of the Qi family. When I was young, I ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, broke my body, and contracted the problem of smoking again, and my savings were all spent. I asked my family for money, and after my family gave it a few times, I never gave it again. I had no choice but to do some small business, sell small animals, and make some money to buy big cigarettes.

His own fleet will not charge him money for the ship, and this time and again, the profit is quite large.

According to Qi Mao's words, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, so he gave his precious tobacco soil to Zhou Sheng to share.

Zhou Sheng took a puff with his pipe and frowned slightly, this little bit of Forgetfulness Grass had no effect on his spirit at all, there was no sense of anesthesia, it was estimated that even if he smoked a ton, it would be a very few things.

"It's a waste of life to smoke this thing, but for me, there are few things that can anesthetize my soul."

The room was filled with smoke, and the small animals in the cage were also contaminated with a lot of habits, all of them were sick, and their nostrils were vigorously sniffing the smoke in the air.

......

Zhou Sheng took a look at these small animals and was ready to pick one with aura as a pet. Through the iron cage, he reached in and stroked the fur of a snow wolf cub.

The wolf cub was also sick and looked a little tired. Snow wolves are suitable for the cold environment, and they like to be in the ice and snow. Although it was not warm in the cabin, it was quite hot for the snow wolf.

The tribes on the ice field like the snow wolf, but they are also afraid of the snow wolf, and worship the snow wolf as a totem. Whenever food is scarce, wolves will attack the village and eat many people. Many villages are unable to protect themselves, and at this time, the old people will go out on their own and feed the wolves with their own meat, so that they will not harm the village and leave a way for future generations to live.

The wolf is fierce and cunning, and although this little wolf cub is not yet mature, it has already revealed its true nature. A row of small tender teeth opened, biting Zhou Sheng's fingers. Whining, Zhou Sheng's fingers can not be bitten, let alone baby teeth, even an adult wolf can't bite his skin.

After counting the row of small baby teeth, Zhou Sheng nodded with satisfaction: "The mouth is good, there is no tooth decay, and he is a good cub."

opened the cage and released the wolf cub, and saw it roaring frantically at Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng pinched its neck, ready to educate it. The bloody means in the middle will not be mentioned. Within a moment, the wolf cub was subdued by Zhou Sheng. Lying at his feet, screaming, coquettish, the tail behind him was erected.

"My mother is also from the Ice Plain, but unfortunately, I left early~~"

Zhou Sheng's eyes flashed with a hint of deep sadness.

Although the woman only fed him for a few days before she died, Zhou Sheng's feelings and thoughts for her could not be suppressed. Later, the lame maid named Lan Gu, a hard-working woman who had raised him for three years, also left. In the world of Nuoda, I never felt warmth again.

"I'll go, I have half of the blood in my veins. The day I become sanctified will be the time to go!"

Zhou Sheng is not stupid, his mother betrayed the northern tribes back then, and those people must have hated him to the core. If you don't have the strength, it's just going to die. If you become a saint, even if those people hate it, you have to grit your teeth and endure it.

Zhou Sheng's grandfather, uncle and the like must still be alive, and he also wants to go and see it.

The wolf cub was given a name, and it was called Dabai, because it had white hair all over its body, without any variegation.

In the boring itinerary, it was too depressing. King Jing and Liu Yang were locked in the house all day to study the Shijie map. Zhou Sheng has nothing to do, except for meditation, he came to Qi Mao to smoke two puffs of cigarettes, he has no addiction to smoking, he is just addicted to his mouth.

Qi Mao is also very cheerful, a good friend, he will not secretly brush your little stumbling blocks, what to say. However, this person's body was hollowed out by tobacco and alcohol, and according to Zhou Sheng's estimate, he would not live for two years......

......

The fleet stopped several times on the way, and Zhou Sheng took the opportunity to go ashore and feel the customs and customs of various places.

And so the time passed......

A month later, the fleet came to the Qinling-Huai River line, which is the dividing line between the north and the south.

At the confluence of the Grand Canal and the Huai River is a crossing, where fishing boats are dense, no ice is visible on the river, and the temperature is much higher. The passengers took off their thick cotton clothes and celebrated the smooth journey.

To the north of the Qinling Mountains, there is a white snow. To the south, there is a verdant green leaf overgrown with citrus trees.

The orange is born in the north of Huai, and the orange is born in the south of Huainan, which is a big and sweet orange. One mountain, two landscapes, and only here can you see them.

Zhou Sheng and King Jing stood side by side, looking at the south of the Yangtze River from afar, and felt a lot of emotion. The two were born in Kyoto all their lives and have never traveled far away. Zhou Sheng has no chance, and King Jing is under house arrest in Kyoto. When you see the exotic scenery, of course, you have to sigh with emotion.

"One moment we were still in the north, and the next moment, we were going to Jiangnan, is there anything you want to say?" Zhou Sheng took a sip of spirits, and had a feeling of dancing in the sky. In life, sometimes you should indulge for a moment......

King Jing said: "I'm thinking about how we can kill Li Zecheng and break the foundation of the Huaiyang Grand Canal......"

Zhou Sheng shook his head, sighed and poured himself a drink there.

......

......

A big white-haired wolf came out of the cabin, and after a month of feeding, this wolf cub had been fed by Zhou Sheng to be strong, and its body was about the same as that of a calf.

The snow-white canine teeth and green eyes make people tremble when they look at it.

The reason why Dabai grew so fast was because Zhou Sheng fed it a lot of pills and medicinal materials. Raising a dog can also take care of the house, and raising a wolf is also useful, and it is estimated that it will be able to be a mount in two days.

"Huh~~"

Da Bai Haode licked Zhou Sheng's cheeks, and then lay on the deck lazily basking in the sun, the aura in his eyes was rich, he had learned to think, and he was about to open his mind. There is also no longer so rejection of the warm environment......

After crossing the Qinling Mountains, I came to the south of the Yangtze River.

There is a warm smell of spring in the air, red flowers and green grass on both sides, a green mountain, and the snow is gone.

There is a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River, small streams, and large rivers criss-cross, and the amount of water in the Grand Canal is also abundant. The air was faintly damp, and it should have rained just now.

On the south bank of the river are several tea mountains, on which large tea trees are planted, and tea picking girls with baskets on their heads are accompanying them in two or three.

On the turbulent river, aquatic spirits leap out of the water and play freely.

After a few more walks, a tall bronze figure appeared in the middle of the river. The bronze figure was thousands of feet tall and stood in the water, the surface of which could only reach its chest. The bronze man's face was blurred, but he could see that he was a middle-aged man, with a threatening face and a tall figure.

The fleet sailed past, and the big ship was half the size of a bronze man's head.

After looking carefully, Zhou Sheng realized that the inside of this bronze figure was made of stone, not solid copper. If such a large bronze figure were to be cast entirely of copper, it would cost a lot of silver. It is much cheaper to use stone as raw material.

King Jing pointed to the bronze man and said, "This is the statue of Li Zecheng." We are almost at the end of the river, and every 100 kilometers there is a statue of this which is used to detect the sediment in the water. If there is too much sediment in the water, the water is not deep enough to reach the waist of the statue, then this section of the river is not qualified, and the officials in charge of the area will be beheaded. The laborers who dig the rivers are also punished, and one out of every hundred people will be chosen, and the beheading will be be......headed."

Zhou Sheng nodded, in order to maintain efficiency, this kind of high-pressure policy can only be adopted.

The water in front of us was muddy, and there was a lot of yellow sand in the water, and the digging of the canal disturbed the low sediment.

A longitudinal cordon has been drawn on the water, and the river is several kilometers wide, and only the middle is less than 300 meters wide where boats can be navigated. As for beyond the cordon, it is the construction of the river section.

......

Towards noon, a military ship took over the flotilla.
