There are many chariots and horses in the north, and there are many boats in the south.

Since the establishment of the Dagan Dynasty, there have been many laws and regulations on waterways. In addition to the imperial boats and ships, merchant ships have also been strictly controlled. They are repaired every five years and built every ten years. The attainments of these ships are sophisticated that they are complicated. Even if they use wood, they can build wooden ships of more than ten feet.

Su Yang is now riding a passenger ship.

The environment is worse than the official ship, but the price is cheaper than the official ship. There are men and women in the large cabin, and there is only a partition in the middle. Su Yang bought the first cabin, but the overall environment is not much better.

Lao Jun has been working on the boat for many years, and now he is familiar with the road when sitting on the passenger boat. He is busy and has to come to Suyang from time to time to deliver tea. The first time he does this kind of business, he is quite enthusiastic. In contrast, the remaining crew members are lazy and can't raise much energy at all.

Su Yang lay in the cabin, lying until the evening was approaching, and woke up from the meditation. He stood up from the cabin with a clear divine light and leisurely demeanor. After closing the cabin door, he came all the way to the deck.

It was dim and dusk smoke was rising. Su Yang saw the canal gathering slowly, and he didn't care. He was preparing to leave the boat quietly when it was darker.

There are many people standing on the deck now, most of them are men. When women come out of the cabin, they are all old women with gray hair and hunched figure. At this time, they no longer care much about the difference between men and women. They are also safe when they go out and will not incur the danger of being rude.

"Our whole village was gone because of that fire..."

A man in his forties sat on the deck and said to the person next to him: "Now I will take my mother, wife and son to Jinhua to join my uncle's house. When I get there, I should have a temporary place to live and make a living."

"So that's it..."

"This candle must be guarded against."

The people on the boat expressed deep sympathy for the man's affairs.

"Where are you, I keep hearing the coughing sounds over you..."

"I took my wife to Jinhua for treatment. Her illness has been treated in Hangzhou for many doctors, but she still hasn't recovered."

Another person said: "We heard that there was a doctor in Jinhua who saved people with great skills and cured the disease. So we took our wife to see it."

"Isn't there a doctor Chen in Hangzhou, who is very powerful? I heard that as long as you give enough money, he can treat any disease."

The name of Doctor Chen in Hangzhou is still widely spread.

"fart!"

The man said angrily: "I took a few medicines from him, but there was no improvement. When we went to find him again, he actually brought a bowl of water. I don't know what kind of god he worshiped, so I murmured there, prayed for a long time, and then asked my wife to drink the water. After drinking it, it didn't work. I took a lot of money from my family for nothing. Now, with this little money, it's enough to run to Jinhua..."

While complaining about Dr. Chen, a two or three-year-old child ran to the front and reached out to pull the person. The person said he could leave the people around him and go back to the cabin first.

Everyone has their misfortune and their happiness...

Su Yang's heart was inexplicably filled with this sentence and couldn't help but laugh.

"Sir, this is the fish just made."

When Lao Jun saw Su Yang standing on the front deck, he quickly brought a fish over.

Su Yang saw that the fish was fried and roasted on iron slices. The two sides were golden and oily, which looked very attractive. He nodded and took the plate. Lao Jun quickly brought the rice to Su Yang. Su Yang sat in front of the deck, fishing with rice, looking at the scenery on both sides, and started to eat comfortably.

The fish is crispy and the rice is refreshing. Although the taste is not excellent, it does have a unique flavor.

"I have been on the fishing boat for so many years, and my best bet is this grilled fish."

When Lao Jun saw the delicious food of Su Yang, he said, "It was just that when he was grilling fish at home, he was reluctant to put oil on it. Now he came to this passenger ship and didn't feel sorry for using oil."

This is the difference between public and self.

Su Yang chuckled.

"It smells so good..."

A Taoist priest wearing a gossip clothes was about fifty years old, with a bad appearance and a gourd hanging around his waist. After walking to the deck, he saw Su Yang who was eating here. He walked to Su Yang and reached out to pick up the fish.

Su Yang reached out to hold the fish, easily let the Taoist priest pass, placed the fish in front of several children on the deck, and smiled and said, "You're so greedy, you can eat it."

When the children saw Su Yang let them eat, they didn't care whether the adults around them agreed. They just started to tear them up. Each of them was one handful of fish. Su Yang didn't even move a few chopsticks, so they gave these children a handful of their fish.

"You, prepare such a fish for Master Dao!"

Seeing that the fish was gone, the Taoist priest reached out and grabbed Lao Jun's collar, and spoke very arrogantly.

"This fish is going to collect money on our boat."

When Lao Jun saw the Taoist priest, he quickly replied: "If the Taoist priest wants to eat, as long as you pay, we will prepare it for you immediately."

Their ship can manage all the grain, rice, fish and meat, but it is natural to pay for it.

"Why didn't he pay?"

The Taoist priest pointed at Su Yang and said dissatisfied with Lao Jun: "I heard clearly inside. You gave this fish to him, so if you can give it to him, you can't give it to me by Dao Master?"

This Taoist priest spoke quite unreasonably.

"I did it, I treat you."

Lao Jun saw the Taoist priest pointing at Su Yang and said, "This gentleman has great kindness to me, I just repay you a little, and you, the Taoist priest, have no friendship..."

Lao Jun was quite helpless about such a Taoist priest who was pestering and beating him up, so he could only tell him about his feelings and tell him about his etiquette.

"Bad!"

When the Taoist priest heard Lao Jun say these words, he cursed and let go of his hand holding Lao Jun's collar, and pushed him back, staggering backwards. When he was about to fall, Su Yang reached out to hold Lao Jun's back, so he never let Lao Jun fall.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

The Taoist priest stepped on the deck and made a sound, extremely heavy. Each step made the ship sway left and right. After a few steps in a row, the Taoist priest was already standing at the bow of the ship. With his legs left and right, he shook the entire ship left and right. The people in the cabin ran outside in panic, looking at the Taoist priest standing on the bow of the ship.

"Master Dao!Master Dao!"

The owner of the passenger ship hurriedly ran out of the cabin, and when he came to the front, he kept bowing and said, "Master Dao, if we have something to do with you, please tell me, we must correct it, and never shake the board. There are more than 50 people on our ship. Once the ship capsizes, we will all die without a burial place!"

The river is turbulent and the water is overturned. If a person falls in at this time, no matter how good the water is, he cannot be used. In history, there have been countless cases of boats being destroyed and people being killed on this river. The boatmen are also well aware of these principles. Therefore, when they saw that Taoist priests had supernatural powers and swaying boats here, they quickly ran out to stop them.

"You guys have nothing to do to me."

The Taoist priest stood in front of the deck and said leisurely: "I can't think about it myself...I don't want to live anymore..."

"Master~Master~"

The boss was so anxious that his eyes were filled with tears. He looked at the Taoist priest and said, "I've knelt down for you. Please take your magical powers. I remember you want to take a boat, and I have collected a few less money from you. The place you are going to should be the Liancheng in front. This is about to arrive at your home. What else do you have to think about? "

When talking about this, the boss's tears fell down.

"Why can't I think it through?"

The Taoist looked at the Liancheng in front of him and said, "I am practicing in the Taoist temple in Liancheng. This time when I went out, I promised our sacrificial master that I would convert one thousand taels of silver to build a bridge for our sacrificial master. But now when I go out, the silver is far from enough. I have no face to go back to face the sacrificial master, and the fellow villagers in Liancheng, so I want to die."

Speaking of the sadness, the Taoist priest laughed.

Now the ship owner knew that this Taoist priest was seeking money. He came to the bow of the ship to make so many movements just to seek money.

The ship owner turned around and looked at the people on the deck cabin. To be honest, the people who could be on his ship were not wealthy. If the rich ones were either chartering the boat himself or taking an official boat, they would never take such a small passenger ship, and they would be so angry that they were innocent.

Now that I saw the people on the boat, the ship owner felt very reluctant. He turned around, looked at the Taoist priest, and said, "Master, how much money do you still lack?"

“Not much, no more.”

The Taoist chuckled and said, "You can build a grand bridge by putting together all the money on the ship."

The ship owner looked at the people on the deck cabin again, and felt that he couldn't bear it. But now that people are under the eaves, it would be good to save their lives. He could only say helplessly: "Everyone should make up the money and build a bridge, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue for us..."

The people on the ship either had a fire at home, only a little money left, or they went out to see a doctor, and they were getting life-saving money. They all had difficulties, but when they heard the conversation between the two, they knew the current situation. If they did not follow the Taoist priests, they would be afraid that they would sink into the river now.

The people on the boat had no choice but to get together and prepare to get the money.

"You don't have to get money."

Su Yang shouted, "Isn't it just to repair the bridge? Repair! I can build the bridge alone!"

Su Yang's shout stopped the people around him from making up money, looked at the Taoist priest and said, "Master Taoist, where are you going to build this bridge?"

"Just build it on this river."

When the Taoist priest saw what Su Yang said, he was quite displeased. He pointed to the vast river in front of him and said, "I want to build a bridge, and I can pass the boat below, and walk from above, and communicate with the north and south of Liancheng. If there is such a bridge, I will die without regrets."

The water surface is vast and hundreds of feet long. It is difficult to build a bridge here.

"good!"
