Thousand Island Lake is now a 5A-level scenic spot. The song "Thousand Island Lake My Love" by a certain star named Cai has sung the voices of many old immigrants. However, opportunities and dangers are hidden under this clear water. Just say Mao Watermelon, it ranks among the top three scary things I have seen in my life. If there are any local veteran fishermen, you should know that what I am telling you is true.
Seven days later...
"Yunfeng, look at it! This place is so beautiful!" Xiaoxuan said excitedly.
I looked at the scenery ahead and said, "Yes, it is indeed beautiful. This is a good place to retire."
My vocabulary is limited, so I can only describe the scene as a lake and sky of the same color, with clear water and white clouds. The Qiandao Lake in front of me is so big that I can’t see the end at a glance. The few of us standing on the shore are too small.
This place used to belong to the territory of Danyang County, and Chuncheng was established probably in the fifth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Not to mention big cities like Hangzhou and Suzhou, if you want to say which place in the county has the most powerful scholars, it must be here.
In such a big place, from ancient times to before it was flooded, a total of 3 top scholars and 308 Jinshi were produced. This is not counting the second place in the top prize, but also the geniuses of San Yuan and Shang Ren.
"Tongqiao Tiejing Xiaojinshan, Shixia Academy Huolongshan, five lions live in Jiumen Bridge, and half an acre of square pond educates literary heroes."
In the past, not only the scholars here were great, but the martial arts practitioners were also great. It can be said that both men and women were brave. Fang La was from here. Chen Shuozhen, the first woman who dared to call herself emperor, also rebelled here. And the tombs where these literary heroes and military generals were buried after their death were Most of the graves have also sunk under the water in front of me.
We still use the old method, first find a place to stay, and then Brother Yu and I approach the locals as tourists and get information from the local population.
I said I was here for a trip, so I spent 500 yuan to find an old fisherman in his sixties who owned a boat as a tour guide. His name was Zhou Yingtai.
The old man accepted the money from me and said happily: "Young man, you two have come to the right place for me. Old man, I grew up here and I know every plant and tree here."
Twenty years ago, no one cared about boating on the lake during the day, so we got on his boat and played in the lake.
Brother Yu pointed into the water. I looked over and saw that the water was shallow in some places. Standing on the boat, I could even see broken bricks and tiles underneath.
"Uncle, you are a local, didn't you immigrate?" I asked.
The old man rowed the boat and said with a smile: "Moved! I didn't go to Jiangxi, I moved closer! But I'm not very lucky. If I had moved to Xiaoshan Airport, I, old Zhou, would have been a multi-millionaire!"
He smiled and said: "I remember when I was only twelve or thirteen years old, my mother dragged me away with two quilts on her shoulders. The slogan everyone shouted at that time was: Bring less old furniture! Bring more new ideas!"
Brother Yu asked: "Old man, the country you moved to should have subsidized you a lot, right?"
"Hey! Don't mention it! At that time, the housing subsidy was based on the head of the family! One hundred and fifty yuan was given to each head of the family! It was paid all at once!"
I said, "That's quite a lot. My monthly salary wasn't much."
He nodded first, then shook his head and said: "At that time, the water came down several days faster than the government planned. If people don't leave, they will drown. No matter how much money we give, we are not willing to leave our homes and become refugees, but the country has not forgotten it." For us, the new national policy came out last year, and every household is given a subsidy of 600 yuan a year, which can be received for 20 years."
I smiled and said, "What a good thing, young people are short of money to find a wife."
"Getting a wife? Do you expect 600 yuan a year to get a wife?"
He suddenly put down the oar and said excitedly: "At that time, Jiangxi was rich! Jiangxi had many mountains and fields! But we in Zhejiang were poor! So the country resettled us Chun'an people in Jiangxi! The situation is different now! Jiangxi is not as developed as Zhejiang! Moreover, The bride price for marrying a wife in Jiangxi is quite high! The starting price is at least 100,000 yuan!"
