"Old Master Zhou is a literati. Giving some gold, silver, jewelry and so on is too vulgar. I'm afraid people don't like it! I read a few ancient books in the study. Uncle Zhong will see if it is appropriate? As for Miss Zhou..." Li You was confused for a while and decided to contact him first. "I remember that when she was a child, she gave her the picture of the lady from Pei Kaizhi, a former dynasty, to whom we had? You can do the rest of the pieces!"

"Young Master is good at choosing these two things! Master Zhou and Miss Zhou will definitely like this!" Uncle Zhong is from his hometown. He is a member of Li You but is not restricted. After praising him, he said, "Don't worry about the rest. I will do it for you in the past two days! Recently, Jiya Village got a few four treasures of study. I went to collect them and send them together with you. Add some ginseng Polygonum multiflorum for the old lady. No one can speak!"

"Well, that's it!" After purchasing gifts and preparing for the trip, he told Li You in detail what to pay attention to after entering Beijing. After five or six days, Uncle Zhong reluctantly sent them away.

There was a lot of noise when entering Beijing this time. The people who accompanied him were headed by Xu Guang, plus Xiao Zhao and Shuang'er, and the rest were guards and dozens of servants. They brought as many as two ships with gifts.

"Young Master! I wish you a smooth journey here and a successful successor to inherit the title as soon as possible!" At the dock, Uncle Zhong bowed and bowed to him. He wanted to help the Earl's Mansion take care of the family business at home. The only task to accompany Li You into Beijing was to Xu Guang.

"Uncle Zhong, you are old, don't have to blow the wind on the dock! Go back and rest early! Don't worry too much about the affairs of the Imperial College, if Mr. Xu is there, there will definitely be no problem!" When Li You thought of going out to visit a great country, he was quite excited. After saying a few words to Uncle Zhong, he ordered someone to untie the cables and set sail.

"Little Master, let's take a boat from Jia River first. After seven days, we will arrive in Qiantang before walking on the canal! You will arrive in the capital after about a month of sailing along the canal! It will take two months to start school in the Imperial College, and the time is enough!" Xu Guang once accompanied the old Master to Jiazhou and Beijing many times when he was young. The route was very familiar. "If you want to go ashore to rest and appreciate the prosperity of Zhucheng, you can go there. Just a trip. It is not advisable to stay for too long!"

When I sail during the day, I go ashore to stay at night! When I am on the boat, there are Xiao Zhao and Shuang'er playing music to cheer up. When I go ashore, there are servants who have arranged their quiet residence first and provided local delicacies! Xu Guang arranged his itinerary along the way in an orderly manner!

Although it was a little slower, it was much more comfortable than traveling in the previous life! Li You was also very satisfied with the arrangements along the way, but it was too quiet along the way. There were neither bandits and water bandits coming forward to rob, nor corrupt officials blocking ships and extorting them, which made him feel less exciting and a little bored.

When asked about Xu Guang, he laughed, "You little lord, you don't understand!" He pointed to the flag flying in the wind at the bow of the boat, "With this flag, the officials along the way knew that you were from the Bo family in Jiazhou at a glance! They didn't have time to curry favor with each other, so how dare they disturb them? As for those bandits and water bandits, they are also goods that bully the soft and fear the strong. There are so many strong men on our boat, and we are obviously officials. If we get into trouble, they will wait for the government to send troops to encircle them! So even if we look at our boat, they can only endure it for their lives!"

Oh? Li You was even more curious when he heard this. Since the officials along the way were cursing to see them come to visit? Xu Guang was also happy to answer Li You's doubts. After hearing his question, he immediately explained, "You little lord, you don't know. Now the court is divided into three factions: aristocratic families, nobles and poor families! Of course, we are of the noble family; and the lands that have passed by these days, these officials are either from aristocratic families or from poor families. They are not on the same journey with us, so it is not easy to be too intimate!"

"But when we were in the city, they also sent someone to come and have a post to visit. The four-gel salmon you ate yesterday was sent by the magistrate of Lanxi County!" Xu Guangfu said the trick, "Along the way, we will pass by several noble fiefs, and they will send someone to invite you to the mansion to speak! There are many things on the boat behind, but they are all prepared for them!"

Faction problem! Li You suddenly realized it, and then he thought that the party struggles in the Great Wei Dynasty were serious enough! He was a young man who had not inherited his title and was so careful, and he didn't know how to deal with officials from other factions at work. The efficiency of handling political affairs is not optimistic!

Along the way, I saw that the people on both sides of the Jiashui River were full of food. I guess they were hungry on weekdays! This is the case in the richest Jiangnan area of ​​the Great Wei Dynasty. The more barren northwest and northeast are still unknown! Li You shook his head in his heart. Fortunately, he has been sympathetic to the people since the old master, and the lives of the Jiazhou people are quite decent! This not only makes him quite proud.

After a few days of travel, the fleet finally arrived in Qiantang. According to Xu Guang's arrangement, after arriving in Qiantang, he had to visit the local nobleman, Changhua Bo Qian's family!

"The Changhua Bo Qian Sa and the old master of the Imperial College were classmates with the Imperial College! After leaving the Imperial College, they also served in the Northwest Army! Later, they became friends with the eighth worship!" When they were about to arrive at the dock, Xu Guang introduced the relationship between the two families to Li You. "Changhua Bo is now in charge of Qiantang, and he is also in charge of the Qiantang area, but also in charge of the canal. With him taking care of you, your affairs in the capital will be much easier!"

Mayor Qiantang and the leader of the canal management team, this official position will not be low for future generations! Li You sighed in his heart, wondering how he would entertain himself when he arrived in Qiantang?

While speaking, you could already see the pier outside Qiantang City. From a distance, you could hear someone shouting, "Is the boat a little lord from the Bo family in Jiazhou?"

Xu Guang stood up and walked to the bow of the boat to look out and came back, "Little Lord, Mr. Qian Hua, the eldest son of Changhua Bo family, is here to pick you up! According to the relationship between our two families, you should call him brother!"

Qianhua? This name is very good. It is obvious that he is a person who is not short of money! Li You put his clothes on and walked to the dock, bowed from afar and replied, "It's my younger brother Li You, is Brother Qian Hua on the opposite side?"

As he spoke, he had arrived at the dock. Li You walked down the deck. A man with a handsome appearance and noble appearance was looking at him with a smile.

I knew in my heart that this was the Qian Hua just now, so I hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to him, "My brother Li You pays homage to Brother Qian!"
