Yangjiatan is a huge lake and marsh that flows through the middle of the Yangshui River, and it is also the watershed of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangshui River.

Counting from the Wuxia Gorge hundreds of miles west of Gongcheng, through Gongcheng, Yangdu, to Yangjiatan River section, it is the middle reaches of Yangshui River, the river is relatively gentle, the water is deep and the river is wide, and the maximum feasible building boat of more than ten zhang.

From Yangjiatan to the east to the extreme east of the Great Zhou Dynasty - Wanghai City on the East China Sea, this section of the river that is thousands of miles long is the lower reaches of the Yangshui River, the river is as wide as a lake, the water is as deep as the sea, and it can sail more than 20 zhang of giant sea boats.

Because of the unique geographical location of Yangjiatan, it has become an important transit place for goods since the city was built in Yangdu, and after hundreds of years of construction, it has gradually developed into a characteristic city with a strong commercial atmosphere, known as a shopping mall.

In the Yangjiatan River section, there are many wharves and docks, and almost all the wharves are full of all kinds of boats, including high-side point-bottomed sea boats as big as a hill, and all kinds of low-side flat-bottomed building boats, of course, those elegant shapes and richly decorated pleasure boats are indispensable.

Although it was only early in the morning, the wharf in Yangjiatan was already very busy, with loading and unloading numbers coming and going, and there was an endless stream of ships leaving or docking.

At this time, a large red building ship slowly approached a wharf in Yangjiatan, and people who have been running water transportation for a long time can see at a glance that this is an official ship.

Although it was an official ship, Shen Liu, who was the dock dispatcher, didn't care too much, and still shouted as usual to allocate berths for the other party and arrange mooring.

On the ship, Fang Yuan, dressed in gray, stood against the railing, looking at the busy scene around him, he couldn't help but sigh: "This big week is really prosperous, except that there is no industrial revolution, just talking about the standard of living, compared to the country in the previous life, I am afraid it is not much better." ”

As for why Da Zhou failed to build a steam engine and entered the era of great industry, in this world, I am afraid that except for Ji Xingran, who doesn't know where he is, only Fang Yuan knows best.

When he and Ji Xingran first crossed that time, they didn't have the idea of playing steam engines and muskets, after all, one represents productivity and the other represents force, but they soon found that the physical knowledge they learned in their previous lives seemed to have some deviations in this world.

For example, in the underground of this world, there is neither coal nor oil, of course, this is not the most critical, after all, it is okay for a steam engine to burn wood.

But when the two racked their brains to design and build a rudimentary steam engine, intending to develop their ambitions from now on, they were desperate to find that the expansion power of steam in this world was much smaller than that of the earth.

The steam engine they made, although it can also convert chemical energy into kinetic energy, but the conversion rate is surprisingly low, a huge steam engine, like a children's toy, can move it on its own, expect it to drive something, but don't even think about it.

In the same way, they also worked hard to find and refine a variety of raw materials for gunpowder, but these, whether they looked, touched, or smelled, were the same as gunpowder on the earth, but they did not have the power of gunpowder on the earth.

At that time, he thought that their method was wrong, but slowly he understood that it was because there was a slight difference between the laws of this world and the laws of the world in which the earth was located, and it was this subtle difference that determined in the dark that the two worlds would inevitably take different paths.

Just when Fang Yuan touched the scene and was thinking about the past, Wu Yaqian walked out of the cabin, came straight to Fang Yuan's side, and said softly: "I have already asked people to do what you ordered." ”

Fang Yuan turned his head to glance at Wu Yaqian, nodded and said, "Well, after buying all the things, we can leave for Wangdong City." ”

"Is Wangdong City your destination?" Wu Yaqian asked indifferently.

"It's not. Fang Yuan denied it, he hadn't forgotten that he had said to Wu Yaqian that he would let the other party leave when he arrived at his destination, but his destination was not something that could be reached in a short time, because his destination was the earth.

Since recovering his memory, in addition to missing Lin Shuya and hating Ji Xingran, Fang Yuan would often think of his mother who stayed on Earth, even more than Lin Shuya.

He had secretly vowed a long time ago that he must go back to the earth to see, even if it was just to sweep his mother's grave, because his mother is the person who loves him the most in this world.

"Oh. In response to Fang Yuan's negative answer, Wu Yaqian just sighed casually, and then looked at the black sea ship not far away, which was much taller than the boat under her feet.

Fang Yuan was not surprised by this strange princess's strange behavior, seeing that she was fascinated, he turned around and returned to the cabin, he wanted to hurry up and meditate to restore the true yuan, and when the things were bought back, he still had to study alchemy.

"That's not enough time. Fang Yuan sighed in his heart.

Just when Wu Yaqian was looking over the railing and Fang Yuan entered the cabin to cultivate, Shen Liu on the dock sneakily left the dock and came to a large warehouse on the edge of the dock.

The warehouse was filled with large and small bags of all kinds of spices, and several young men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes were facing a bag of open spices, tasting their heads.

If Fang Yuan was here, he would definitely be surprised to find that most of these people present, he actually knew most of them, those princes, they were all seen by him at the incense grabbing meeting in the Lingering Incense Pavilion, but except for Shen Yushu, he didn't know anyone else.

As for the two women present, he also knew one of them, it was Yan Yun'er, who was dressed simply, had a beautiful face, and was quite heroic, that is, his former eldest apprentice.

"Brother Shen, can you let my brother have more of this batch of spices?"

It was Gongzi A who spoke, and he learned yesterday that Shen Yushu had brought several ships of good spices and medicinal materials from the South China Sea through his connections, so he begged to come to the door with a dead face and asked to join the gang halfway.

"Jia Hongliang, you're too shameless!" Shen Yushu didn't have time to refuse, but he was scolded by a blue-clothed boy next to him, and the one who spoke was the prince who was with Shen Yushu in the Liuxiang Pavilion before.

This spice business was originally set up by Shen Yushu and several people, and everyone's interests have already been clearly distributed, if it weren't for it

The forces of the Yamen patrolling the Yamen in the Jia family will help to do business in the future, and this time nothing will allow Jia Hongliang to sit back and enjoy it, but

Who knew that this product was not satisfied, and even wanted to share more benefits.

"Wang Zhuojun, I'm talking to Brother Shen, what are you talking about?" Gongzi Jia shouted without showing weakness.

The Wang family is a family that has only risen in Yangdu in recent years, and it is rumored that the biggest backer behind it is Wang An, the head of the inner factory, but the A family is rooted

Patrolling the yamen, the news is the most well-informed, so he knows that Wang An does not take care of the Wang family as much as everyone imagined, and the Wang family usually does

Most of it is a bit of a fox and a fake tiger.

"You ......"

Wang Zhuojun was about to have a seizure, but Gongzi Yi next to him stood up and said: "Brother Wang, Brother A, make money with anger, make money with anger, this spice business is not a one-shot deal, we have to do it for a long time, so the distribution of benefits is better to be fair and reasonable." Although Gongzi B is persuading, he is biased towards Gongzi A in and out of his words, and everyone present can naturally hear it.

"Yi Yinglang, you are as shameless as the one surnamed A. A delicate female voice sounded, it was the other person present besides Yan Yun'er

A young girl.

"Miss Tantai, you have been wronged. Gongzi Yi cried out with a bitter face.

This Miss Lantai is the granddaughter of Wenlin Wenlin, one of the seven elders of Wensheng Academy, and her father Tangtai Feihu is Dali who is in charge of the prison

Siqing, not to mention that she is still a charming eldest lady, for her, Gongzi B really can't be provoked, but Gongzi Yi can't be provoked, but

It doesn't mean that others can't be messed with.

At this time, Gongzi C, who joined the gang with Gongzi A, opened his mouth and said: "I think Brother B is right, this is a long-term transaction, and the benefits should be distributed according to future investment and contributions, and it is just right to start with this first batch of goods." ”

"Your A, B, and C families are really worthy of their reputation, are you crazy about money?"

"That is, this first batch of goods, except for Brother C, Brother A and Brother B have not made any efforts, in my opinion, the current division has taken care of the two of them. ”

"How did you talk to you?"

"What, you still want to do it?"

"Do it, do it, who is afraid of whom, come!"

"Come on!Who's afraid of whom?!"

“......”

Looking at the young ladies who were about to fight, Shen Yushu had black lines all over his face, and secretly swore in his heart: "I won't do business with these Yanei in the future." ”

At this moment, Shen Liu walked in, lay on Shen Yushu's ear and muttered a few words, Shen Yushu's eyes instantly lit up, right

Wang Zhuojun, who was about to fight with his sleeves, said loudly: "Brother Wang, do you remember the girl Wu I told you before?"
