Silk threads of rain fell on the yellow, orange and orange gold one by one. All the sailors and dart masters stuttered up to watch, and the people on the other ship craned their necks to watch. No one has ever seen so much gold, and even if they did, it was in a dream. All the complaints stopped, and the boatload was silent.

Zhu Yushi pinched a gold bar between his fingers and held it up to show it to everyone. Everyone's eyes were raised with his fingers, and they looked straight at the gold bar. Zhu Yushi said: "Everyone knows what this thing is. "No one speaks, only fools don't know what it is. Zhu Yushi continued: "In troubled times, only gold is permanently preserved, so a gold bar is enough to buy a house and land, Brother Hong, it is yours." As he spoke, he threw the gold bar to Hong Daquan. There was a commotion in the crowd, and they all looked at Hong Daquan. Hong Daquan took the gold bar and checked it in his hand, bit it twice with his teeth, and exclaimed excitedly, "It's really gold, it's full of real gold, is this a reward for the villain?" Zhu Yushi took out two gold bars, handed them to him personally, and said: "It's been hard for three days of heavy rain, and these three are your compensation." "Hong Daquan has been a fisherman all his life, and he hasn't even seen silver a few times, so how he doesn't like it when he gets three gold bars, and he doesn't stop saying thank you.

The crowd immediately exploded, and two sailors went up to grab the gold bars. Zhu Yushi had already grabbed their wrists first, and the two screamed in pain and squatted on the ground. Zhu Yushi let go of his hand with a smile and said, "One person has three roots, everyone has a share." I'll divide it, but I'm not allowed to rob it, understand?" the two sailors nodded in fear. Zhu Yushi took out six gold bars and divided them with them, and said loudly: "The storm has been going through three days, so each person will be issued three gold bars first, and every day the storm lasts in the future, one more gold bar will be issued until it is over, and everyone will say that it is good!" The two boats of people cheered in unison: "Good! Great." Zhu Yushi said: "I have only one request, that is, everyone must obey my command." Anyone who agrees with this will line up to receive the money. ”

No one disagreed, and for a while on the deck you pushed me and hugged me, making a mess. Zhu Yushi said: "There is gold, don't squeeze it." He who crowds does not give gold. His words were like a holy decree, and everyone stopped crowding and consciously lined up. Sailors and dart masters on another boat also set up pontoons to line up. The people who received the gold bars were all elated, and they were still anxious and nervous in line, for fear that the gold bars would be distributed. Zhu Yushi saw that the next person to receive it was Boss Hu, and he was surprised and quipped: "Brother Hu received the gold bar, don't embarrass me anymore." Boss Hu said with a haha: "Don't dare, don't dare, Brother Zhu is so generous, I admire it." ”

Zhu Yushi smiled, took out five gold bars to him, and said, "You are the boss, give you two more, please take care of your brothers, don't pick on your sons." Boss Hu said happily: "Of course, it's easy to say." Zhu Yushi also sent five gold bars to Xiao Yan and Lu Ning, but Pei Zifu and Li Xiao insisted on not wanting it. After everyone had finished handing out, there was still a small half of the gold bars in the box.

The storm ended for two days in a row, and Zhu Yushi distributed gold bars to everyone every day. The sailors and dart masters were grateful to Dade, and no one mentioned the return of the voyage. The storm finally passed, the sun was shining on this day, the wind was warm, the blue sea was even the sky, the sea and the sky were the same, everyone was in high spirits, in a good mood, raised the sails and set sail with the wind, several leaders sat on the deck eating the newly caught sea fish, drinking the rice wine brewed by the fishing village, laughing again and again, and the relationship was much closer.

Luo Tianchu and Liu Shaoqing entered the territory of Henan and traveled west along the Yellow River. Luo Tian first knew that Zhu Yushi's ship would pass through here, so he stopped by to check it out first. The water of the Yellow River is red and yellow, long and long, the riverbed is wide, and the water surface is calm. At dusk and sunset, the river is shining with gold and the fishing boats are rippling, which makes people yearn for it. Luo Tianchu bought three carps from the old fishermen on the shore, and learned from the chat that the Qi State had drawn strong men from Qilu and Qilu in order to expand the army, and all men over the age of fifteen and under the age of fifty-five had to serve for three years without compensation. At this order, the strong men in both places fled to other places, leaving behind only old and weak children. Thousands of acres of fertile land between the rivers have been uncultivated and turned into wasteland. As a result, there was a shortage of food in Qi State, so the people increased their taxes, and for a time the people were not able to make a living, and there were many uprisings and rebels in various places. More people moved with their families to seek refuge in Guanzhong or the south. The people of the Yellow River valley are slightly better, they have been fishermen for generations, and there is still fish to eat.

The two sons of this old fisherman were forcibly conscripted into the army, the eldest son was killed by the Song army commanded by Yue Fei in the Battle of Xiangyang, and the second son was only recently enlisted, but he had been transferred to attack Tongguan, and his life and death were unknown. Luo Tianchu asked: "Does the old man hope that the Jin soldiers will win or the righteous army in Guanzhong will win?" The old fisherman smiled and said, "I only want my baby to live." It doesn't matter who the fuck wins or loses. Luo Tianchu sighed slightly and nodded yes. The old fisherman sighed: "It's not easy for that Luo boy in Guanzhong, as long as my baby is fine, I hope Luo boy wins and has a long face for our Song people." Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "That Luo boy can win, and I hope your baby will go home safely." The old fisherman said: "I hope so, by the words of the little brother." Looking at the direction of the two of them, could it be that they are also going to Guanzhong?" Luo Tianchu said: "Yes." The old fisherman said: "The two ministers are like good people, and the old man advises them not to go any further." Luo Tianchuqi said: "Why?" The old fisherman said: "A few days ago, a prince of the Jin Kingdom came, mobilized the army to block all the roads leading to Guanzhong, and did not let any pedestrians go, and also detained people and tortured them. ”

Luo Tianchu frowned and said, "Torture?" The old fisherman shivered, looking very scared and said, "Yes, it's really cruel, the old man is afraid to think about it." Luo Tianchu asked: "What kind of criminal law is it?" Why do you want to torture innocent pedestrians? The old fisherman shook his gray hair and said, "Who knows, the Jin people are a group of beasts, even women and children, hey, the old man really can't bear to say more." Luo Tianchu said: "The old man said that it doesn't matter. The old fisherman sighed, "Cut the noodles." Luo Tianchu was puzzled and said: "What is shaving noodles?" The old fisherman said: "It is to cut off people's faces with a knife, do you say that it is scary!" Luo Tianchu only felt that his hair stood up, and said: "Even the faces of women and children are cut?" The old fisherman wiped his tears and said: "Isn't it, it's too cruel." ”

Luo Tianchu's head was clouded for a while, and he suddenly understood the reason why the platinum people used this kind of criminal law, and he must have been afraid that he would make up as someone else to fool him through, so he simply cut off the skin of the people and examined them, and would rather kill them by mistake than miss them, but why did he hurt women and children? Maybe it's just that Jin Bing is entertaining himself, this prince must be a perfect vulture, and only he can do such a miserable thing, he must chase all the way to find himself and can't catch him, so he simply intercepts on the road and waits for the rabbit. The old fisherman looked at his angry look and sighed: "It's useless for Xianggong to be angry, it's better to leave as soon as possible, there are no mountains and forests nearby, there is no road to detour, and the river is also blocked, so it is difficult for boats and boats to travel, so they can only go back the same way." Luo Tianchu was shocked: "The river is also blocked?" The old fisherman said: "I don't know what kind of wind the Jin soldiers smoked, and stopped the upstream with a huge chain, all the boats could not pass, and they also searched the big boats." Luo Tianchu broke out in a cold sweat on his head, thinking that the Jin people must have guessed that Yunbao was taking the waterway, if the Yellow River was blocked, how should Zhu Yushi's fleet pass?

The two said goodbye to the old fisherman and continued their journey westward. Along the way, Luo Tianchu frowned, stood still, and said, "No, I want to go and see the iron lock, otherwise Xiao Zhu and they will suffer a big loss." Liu Shaoqing said: "Tongguan is not far from here, and now the war is tight, you can't delay." It's up to me to help Zhu Yushi. Luo Tianchu was surprised: "What does Brother Liu want to do?" Liu Shaoqing said: "I have my own way, you don't have to worry about it." Luo Tianchu knew that Liu Shaoqing had made a promise, but he never promised easily, nor did he promise for other people's affairs, it can be seen that he has indeed regarded himself as a friend, and it is redundant to thank him, so he nodded and said, "I'm sorry Brother Liu, please take care." Liu Shaoqing bowed slightly, then turned to leave.

Liu Shaoqing walked upstream along the river, and after ten miles, he saw the iron chain across the river, which was the thickness of a bowl and deeply embedded in the stone wall at both ends. Fifteen small warships lined up, and even if one of them broke through the chains, they could not escape the pursuit of the warship. There were still five or six unlucky Song merchant ships parked on the docks, and Jin Bing was unloading boxes of goods from them, apparently trying to take them for himself. Twenty or thirty Song merchants were kneeling on the ground with their heads in their hands, sweating profusely, not even daring to raise their heads, and there were already several corpses lying sideways beside them, all of which were their acquaintances.

There is a Jin State camp built on the shore, and the largest tent has a green dragon tooth flag on it, and the one who lives in it must be Wanyan Wushu, it seems that he can only be held hostage again to coerce the Jin army to remove the chains, and the difficulty is that Wanyan Chang is escorting him, so he can only wait until he goes to bed at night.

After making up his mind, Liu Shaoqing jumped on a big tree and fell asleep leaning on the branches. The psychological quality of these people is excellent, and they can sleep peacefully even if something big happens. When he awoke, it was already dark, and he took the sword of despair behind him and came to the river, which was still a mile from the dock. He doesn't like to swim, he doesn't like to get his clothes wet, and he doesn't like to wear wet clothes, but he grew up on Penglai Island, the water is excellent, he jumped into the Yellow River, dived into the depths and swam forward against the current. He swam under the dock deck without breathing, and slowly surfaced. The eyes scanned the surroundings alertly, and only after making sure that it was safe did he gently climb onto the pier, the sound of the water coming out of the water was muffled by the rushing Yellow River, and the Song Dynasty merchants who turned their backs to him were unaware. Liu Shaoqing squatted silently behind a businessman, and no one paid attention to his presence. (To be continued.) )
