Chapter 794 Crossing the River (Congratulations to the leader of KKRGUN!)
The journey from Jiangzhou Prefecture to Beijing is not short.
Aaron had asked Gu Juren before about the specific route. After all, he was the only one in Luzhou Ji who had experience in going to Beijing to take the exam.
According to what Gu Juren said, you can first go to Jinshi City by land, and then change to the water route to go north, which will take a lot of effort.
Jinshi is an important town in the south of Dasong, with a population of hundreds of thousands. It also has Zhongshan Dragon Pan and stone tigers, which is known as the foundation of the emperor.
Especially after the opening of the Grand Canal from Jinshi to the north, communication between the north and the south became much more convenient.
Scholars traveling to Beijing to take exams can directly take a boat, which is much better than before.
"The beautiful land in the south of the Yangtze River, the golden and stone imperial state."
Taking Xiaoyu all the way to the vicinity of Jinshi City, Aaron couldn't help but sigh.
The city walls are made of huge stones and are very strong.
Not only that, to the west is the natural danger of the river, and there is a river center island in the river, also called Caishiji, which is extremely convenient for the defenders to defend.
To the east of Jinshi City, there is a purple green mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is a Xuanwu Lake, which is very beneficial to the defenders and is also a tourist attraction.
"Not to mention Feng Shui metaphysics, from a military and reputation perspective, this place is also a good foundation... No wonder some people always say that Jinshi City has a royal aura!"
Aaron's eyes lit up.
Although Jinshi City was prosperous, he just watched around outside and did not enter the city.
Aaron has now figured out the essence of 'qi number point', which is obedience!
In other words, there is no destiny in this world, but the common people are ignorant and voluntarily follow the strong, rely on themselves, and ask others to take charge of their own destiny... Such contributions are made layer by layer, and finally gathered in one person, a result is formed.
The so-called court system and 'mandate of destiny'.
Understanding it this way, if you go to the market to show off, you can at most create a sensation. How many people can you really attract to die for you?
'So... if you want to deceive big people, you still have to sneak into the court! Under the system, the official level is overwhelming... If you are told to die, you have to die! If you dare to disobey, the so-called three feet
Wang Fa is designed for this!'
'This is the beauty of the system, so all heroes and heroes bow to it...'
The reality is that people will not die if they don’t watch the fun and imitate the immortals.
But if you don’t listen to the official laws of the government, your family will be destroyed in minutes!
Comparing the two, they are actually more likely to be driven by the government than they are without a strict system.
Aaron thought about it and realized that if he wanted to master this kind of power, it would probably be possible, but he would have to establish his own system and be the master.
In other words...you still have to rebel!
There are a lot of troubles... It's not as efficient as going public through a back door and borrowing chickens to lay eggs!
‘Rebellion can be done later, but we must first deceive people to gain momentum...’
Aaron ordered Xiaoyu to walk around the city, and received many surprises during the process.
Probably from today onwards, the legend of the ‘Great Immortal of Tiger Power’ will also spread in Jinshi City.
…
Xuanwu Lake.
pier.
Hoho!
With the roar of a tiger, the originally bustling dock immediately fell into commotion.
Aaron Shishiran rode Xiaoyu, quite like a street tiger, all the way to the dock. Looking at the endless lake, he couldn't help but sigh: "What a Xuanwu Lake."
"This Taoist Master... please collect this mount, we are afraid of it."
An old boatman was more courageous. He glanced at the tax collector who was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. He stepped forward and cupped his hands in a very humble manner.
"Don't be afraid...my Xiaoyu is quite well-behaved."
Aaron looked at the boat owner: "I want to charter a boat to cross the river... I wonder which company can take it?"
"Does the Taoist priest want to bring his mount with him?"
The boat boss asked.
"Exactly!"
As soon as he said this, the boatmen around him shrank their heads in fear.
On the contrary, the boss of the ship thought for a while and said: "Where does the Taoist want to go?"
"Of course it's the capital!"
Aaron smiled and said: "Although it is better to go to the capital by water, my horse is too impatient, so I will just cross the river and ride it overland..."
'That's true...'
People around me nodded secretly: 'Who dares to sit in the same boat with a tiger without fear of being eaten in the middle of the night?'
"In that case, let me see the Taoist cross the river!"
The ship boss thought for a while, clasped his fists and said, "We don't need the few dollars of ship fare. We should all pay homage to the Taoist priest."
"That being the case, thank you very much."
Aaron performed a Taoist ritual, which he had recently learned unexpectedly.
The boss's boat was parked on the pier. Aaron was also an old sailor. He took a quick look at the bottom and sails of the boat and knew he was an old craftsman. He nodded.
Xiaoyu roared and jumped onto the deck, making the whole ship seem to sink!
"Xiaoyu!"
Aaron barked again, and the white tiger lay down obediently, which was amazing.
"Taoist Master, please take care of your spiritual pet. The old man's wife and daughter are still on board."
After getting on the boat, the boss of the boat cupped his fists and smiled bitterly.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyu is very well behaved."
Aaron saw a small figure in the cabin, but he just pretended not to see it and did not enter the cabin. He smiled and answered.
"Set the boat!"
With a shout from the boat boss, he held a long bamboo pole and drove the boat away from the dock.
…
It wasn't until the ship entered Xuanwu Lake and turned into a black dot that several horses came to the pier, and several wealthy young men in splendid attire jumped down from them: "Where is the white tiger? Where is the Taoist riding the tiger?"
People around them recognized that these were all famous second-generation ancestors in Jinshi City. They usually had nothing to do, they just got together to have fun, and they had caused a lot of troubles.
At this time, someone shouted: "Master Lin is late. Taoist Qihu has already rented a boat and crossed the river. I heard that he is going all the way to the capital!"
"It's indeed the Qianqiu Banquet!"
"Brother Le, what do you think we should do?"
Several teenagers looked at Lin Le, the leader.
This Lin Le was born in a noble family and was the hereditary son of Guangyang Marquis. He had the highest status among the gang of dudes. He thought about it and said unwillingly: "We heard the news in the city and got there with great difficulty. How could we miss it?
I’ll keep chasing!”
"good!"
All the dandies cheered and hurriedly rented a boat to cross the river...
…
There were no waves in the lake, and Aaron stood on the bow of the boat, blowing the breeze, looking contented.
On the contrary, the boat boss was secretly wondering, why did the Taoist priest look like he was used to being on the water?
"I have heard..."
Aaron thought for a while and said: "When the waterway was rough before, the boat boss would often take the passengers into the water, and then ask the guests if they wanted to eat flat noodles or wonton noodles?"
The boss of the ship was so frightened that his hands shook: "The Taoist priest was joking..."
I thought that even if there were water bandits, who would dare to rob you?
If that's really the case...I'm afraid we're not treating the passengers to noodles at all, but inviting Bai Hu to eat meat, right?
Aaron smiled dumbly and ignored it.
At this time, I saw a little head sticking out of the cabin, but it was a little boat girl. Her timid eyes were black and shiny, staring at the white tiger, as if she wanted to touch it, but she didn't dare...
