The waves of the Yangtze River in August were turbulent, but the wind blowing from the ocean to the land still slowly pushed it upstream. There was no time to stop in Yangzhou. It was not easy to sail against the current for two thousand miles. Moreover, Yun Ye had already received the Tang News, and His Majesty the Emperor had already
After going on the Jinniu Ancient Road and arriving in Hanzhong, they will take a boat down the Han River. Their journey to Yuezhou is much easier than that of Yun Ye. One is going down the river and the other is upstream. Li Er
The message given to Yun Ye was that he didn't like to wait for others. When he arrived in Yuezhou, Yun Ye should wait on Yunmengze with the Emperor's name.
Not only Yangzhou cannot be stopped, but also all the cities passing by. It is necessary to drive day and night to reach Yuezhou before Li Er arrives.
The emperor had a lot of red tape when traveling, but this time, he completely abandoned those details and left the prince to supervise the country. He took the queen and countless concubines to travel with him. Also accompanying the emperor were the Sixteenth Guards.
This is actually Li Er's first tour of the two lakes.
It was just an excuse to come to see the Emperor to inspect the navy. He had brought most of the civil and military personnel of the entire dynasty, and he knew that the emperor had begun to set his sights on the south. Now in Dading in the north, the nearest barbarians are in Blackwater.
To the north, if the remaining Turks want to raid again, they need to break through at least three lines of defense. What's more, they are already planning to follow the old path of the Huns, which is to seek a new settlement westward.
Now the envoys of the Western Turks are in Chang'an, hoping to obtain funding from the Tang Dynasty to give them the strength to carry out a protracted Western expedition. They have promised that there will never be a Turk again in the land of Beihai.
This expedition is not only about the Western Turks, but also the extremely weak Xue Yantuo, the barely surviving Tuyuhun, and the Uighurs who are wandering on the grasslands and have been almost killed by Hou Junji. They are preparing to form the most powerful army to go to the west.
Try your luck.
I heard that the distant Western Roman Empire was in decline and the vassal states were in civil war. It was time to go to distant places to seek a place for their people.
The strength of the Turks is stronger than that of the Western forces. However, whenever the Central Plains dynasty completes the replacement, the Central Plains dynasty is the most powerful. Countless bloody facts prove that the grassland people, who have always been invincible, are at this time.
There is no way to fight against it. If you have a bad neighbor, it is more in the interests of your own people to move away as soon as possible.
They firmly believed that they would get all the help they needed from the Tang Dynasty. As the person most familiar with the national conditions of the Tang Dynasty, Elder Tuyuhun firmly stayed in Chang'an and waited for the meeting with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
They were not the only envoys who stayed in Chang'an. Ludongzan, the Prime Minister of Tubo, came to the Tang Dynasty again with a large number of gifts and the most sincere heart. His only request was to be able to pray for Zampo Songtsen Gampo.
Marry a princess.
Envoys from the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong and the Japanese Kingdom were also in Chang'an. Honglu Temple paid no attention to them except for arranging food and accommodation for them. The Ronghuanu, who was unwilling to remain unknown, took her staff and visited the noble officials of the Tang Dynasty every day.
, being too poor, the only gift they could afford was their own embroidery.
Perhaps their tenacity won the respect of the officials of the Tang Dynasty. No one ever refused their gifts, and no one refused to meet with Ronghua Nu. In every meeting, Ronghua Nu tried her best to tell them the sufferings of Goryeo and the sorrow.
There, everyone in the audience burst into tears.
She also went to the Imperial College to talk and to the Hongwen Hall to talk. Only Yushan Academy ruthlessly rejected her request to talk. Ronghua Girl just outside Yushan Academy, told every student and gentleman she met about the war brought to Korea.
disaster.
Everyone sympathized with Ronghua Nu. Some noble ladies even held a charity sale and gave all the money to Ronghua Nu, hoping that she could use the money to buy some food for the poor hungry people of Goryeo. The food in the Tang Dynasty was too much to eat.
Well, that money should be able to buy a lot of food.
Ronghuanu also visited the prisoners of war at the road construction site and brought a lot of clothes and food. The people of the envoy worked day and night to make Goryeo clothes and food and gave them to the prisoners of war, telling them that Goryeo had not forgotten them.
As long as the war officially ends, she will definitely ask Datang to repatriate these suffering people.
Many prisoners of war prostrated themselves under her skirt and kissed her shoes. Unfortunately, after the meeting, they still had to continue the most arduous labor under the whip of the overseer. Apart from getting some spiritual comfort, their situation did not improve in any way.
.
Chang'an became a place for those envoys to show off their skills. In this environment, Li Er began his first southern tour, leaving these noisy envoys in Chang'an and preparing for a trip that was beneficial to the body and mind.
The fleet was still sailing on the river. When there was no wind, it had to rely on giant oars and livestock on both sides of the river to drag the giant ship forward. In dangerous places, only the naked trackers pulled the ropes to drag the ship through the rapids.
The Emperor is different. There are two huge waterwheel-like wheels at the stern of the ship that penetrate into the water. The livestock on the ship pull the crossbar and drive the wheels to rotate. Although it moves slowly, a behemoth like it cannot be towed at all.
moveable.!
Yun Ye watched the Princess sailing in the water like an old cow, and his heart was full of resentment. What in the academy can turn a teapot into a real steam engine? A large group of people have been studying for three years, and so far they can only make a teapot.
Taking a grasshopper boat and running slowly in the water has no practical application at all.
The damn Unicron should be the kind of existence that breathes thick smoke like a devil coming to the world, instead of stumbling like a demented old man without wind like it is now.
"Marquis Yun's requirements are too high. Aren't you satisfied with the speed of going upstream? There is no wind, and there is nothing anyone can do. The two water wheels surprised me. Now we have passed Ezhou and are about to reach Jiangxia. In Han
We are waiting for His Majesty's arrival at Shuikou." Zhang Liang likes eating bananas very much, and in a short time he ate a whole bunch of bananas by himself.
Seeing Yun Ye looking at the pile of banana peels, Zhang Liang laughed and said: "I have lived in the north for a long time, and I am really happy about the good fruits from the south. My sons and I have already eaten all the fruits on my boat. I am just surprised that you
How can you store bananas for three months without spoiling? I refrigerated them, but they all turned black and spoiled."
Yun Ye smiled and said nothing, and took Zhang Liang to the back cabin. When he saw the fruit trees in the house, Zhang Liang almost went crazy. He just took some fruits to enjoy on the road. Yun Ye simply planted the fruit trees on the boat.
Looking at a lychee tree loaded with fruits packed in a huge wooden barrel, I couldn't say anything except cupping my hands to show admiration.
"Mr. Zhang, I have put a lot of effort into this. The lychee tree was planted in the wooden pot two years ago just to wait for this day. The banana tree is relatively boring. As long as the idea does not damage the roots, it will be carried with the soil.
Just put it in a pot, and the bananas on the tree will slowly ripen. This process can last for at least half a year. Of course, the banana tree will die after half a year.
It is said that oranges grow south of the Yangtze River, and oranges grow north of the Yangtze River. This is a wrong statement. As long as the various growth conditions of the plant are met, bananas can also be grown in the north, but the cost is too high and it is not worth it. "
"My brother is so luxurious. Aren't you afraid of those sour men who came with His Majesty saying nonsense?" Zhang Liang still felt that this was too much. He thought that it was too unfair for him to be described as extravagant before, and he was with Yun Ye.
In these days, except for the lack of beauties, the remaining enjoyment is almost the best in the world. Just eat a banana. There is no need to bring the banana tree to the boat, right?
"Mr. Zhang, I paid for these things myself. You see, I paid the farmer copper coins to buy the banana tree, so I don't owe the farmer anything. I paid the fruit farmer copper coins to plant the banana tree, so I don't owe the fruit farmer anything to transport these."
I also paid the porters and trackers in various places for my things, so I didn’t owe them anything. As for my money, I earned it openly and honestly, so I didn’t owe anything to the country. Since I didn’t owe anyone, and there were countless others.
People have benefited from this, so why should I worry about criticism from those people? In other words, it’s none of their business that I spend my own money.
"It's not right, it's not right, it's such a big mistake, frugality is the best policy. Even if you spend your own money, those people will find excuses to criticize you. This is how I came to comment on my lack of virtue.
You must be on guard."
Yun Ye smiled but did not answer, and continued to walk back with Zhang Liang. There were not only fruit trees on the Princess, but also various Lingnan specialties. Huge crabs were spitting bubbles in the water tank, and lobsters were entangled with their claws.
Yun Ye dug out a black egg from a box of soil and said to Zhang Liang: "This is a kind of mushroom, called the pig mushroom. It is most delicious after being roasted over charcoal fire. Unfortunately, there is also a kind of fish called Slender Bone Dragon, which can be eaten
After that, the fragrance lingered on my lips and teeth for three days, but it was very difficult to catch. If I weren't worried that Your Majesty would become addicted to it and cause the death of the people in Lingnan, I wouldn't even let it go.
Mr. Zhang, look at these scallops. They all have their mouths open, which means that each one of them is alive." After Yun Ye said these words, he took a branch and poked it gently, and the scallops started to fly.
Closing the shell is very neat.
"What's the use of this shark?" Zhang Liang suddenly looked up and saw a huge shark nesting in a water tank. He looked at him with wide eyes. He was startled. After walking away, he pointed at the shark and asked Yun Ye.
There are and uses.
"This is for Wei Zheng. The old guy caused me to wander around Lingnan for three years. How can I not avenge this? In order to make His Majesty look good, I have to use a shark as a gift."
"Hahaha, Lao Wei is miserable. The gifts given by others must all be good things, but he was the only one who received a shark. It's really interesting."
"Mr. Zhang misunderstood. I just told Wei Zheng what kind of existence he was facing."
"You compared yourself to a shark?"
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, you and I are the two most ferocious giant sharks in the sea!"
