Zhao Xun was an imperial envoy from the imperial court, and the official ship he traveled on was naturally a very high-end building.
This kind of building ship has an extremely deep draft, and there is a risk of running aground even if it encounters a reef in the canal.
But Zhao Xun doesn't need to worry too much, because he has Sixth Senior Brother with him.
As a master of Kanyu Feng Shui, Senior Brother Six also has a unique skill, which is the ability to see through objects.
Sixth Brother can use perspective all the way and avoid the channel with reefs reasonably.
Zhao Xun had to lament that he had so many skills that he could not overwhelm him.
Being a slash youth is sometimes really good.
At least there are more possibilities when you need them.
"Brother Mingyun, look at how prosperous the area around this waterway is. There should be many people making a living on it, right?"
"Indeed."
Zhao Xun nodded and said with emotion: "As the saying goes, you rely on mountains to eat and water to eat. The Grand Canal connects the north and the south. Almost all the people along the coast depend on it for their livelihood. If the Grand Canal one day is blocked by sediment, hundreds of people may be affected. A giant of ten thousand people.”
The waterway transportation in the Great Zhou Empire was very developed, mainly divided into water transportation and sea transportation.
The so-called water transportation refers to the transportation of goods through the Grand Canal.
Shipping, on the other hand, transports goods by sea.
Water transportation was very prosperous when the Grand Canal was first dug hundreds of years ago, but as time went by many drawbacks gradually emerged.
The most obvious one is the obstruction of waterways caused by sedimentation.
The court and local officials spend countless amounts of money on dredging every year. As for the manpower consumption, it is even more difficult to estimate.
Another very serious problem is that governments at all levels and the wealthy gentry are trying to exploit people at all levels.
As long as one relationship is not managed well, no business can be done.
As a result, the money that can be earned from a water transport trip is really limited, and it is even possible to lose money.
Gradually, merchants with little connections no longer wanted to do business by water transport, but chose sea transport.
Compared with water transportation, sea transportation is faster and pays less taxes. It can be said that it is crushed in all aspects.
If it weren't for the recent uproar about the incidents of sea monsters eating and hurting people along the coast, the water transport would probably be even more deserted.
After all, saving one's life is more important than making money.
Making money but losing your life is the most painful thing in the world.
I have to say that taking a boat is definitely the most comfortable way to travel in this era.
Since taking the boat from Huangzhou to the water route, even the censors who had been complaining began to become quiet.
Zhao Xun took an attitude of ignoring these guys.
No matter what he does, he is the best at talking.
This is Zhao Xun's evaluation of these censors.
Zhao Xun didn't ask them to help, as long as they didn't cause trouble.
"Junior brother, you are in a good mood."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan came to the deck at some unknown time and walked leisurely towards Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun looked back and was really shocked.
It turned out that the third senior brother took off the hairpin that bound his hair, and his long black hair fell away.
When the river breeze blows, his hair is fluttering, and Zhao Xun can't help but think of a person...
That's right, it's Nie Xiaoqian!
Zhao Xun had always thought that the third senior brother looked like the same person, but he could never put his finger on it.
Now, the third senior brother looks like this famous female ghost.
Good guy, when Zhao Xun first met Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou, Sixth Senior Brother was dressed as a Confucian scholar and carried a box behind his back. He looked very much like the scholar Ning Caichen.
Zhao Xun even once wanted to arrange a drama and let the sixth brother appear in his true colors.
Now, Ning Caichen is here, and Nie Xiaoqian is here too, and they just form a couple.

"Well, I think Third Senior Brother is in a good mood, otherwise why wouldn't he even bother to tie his hair?"
"Junior brother sees everything clearly."
Long Qingquan proudly raised his chin and said with a stern voice: "This time I got a serious illness, but it made me understand a lot of truths. In the past, all I could think about was pursuing spiritual practice. The ultimate. I am already at the second level, but I really want to break through and enter the first level. Because there is a world of difference between the first and second levels."
The third senior brother paused for a moment, then continued: "But now that I think about it, what a stupid idea is this? There are super-grades above the first level. If I enter the first-level, I will definitely want to enter the super-grade. What about after the super-grade? Isn't that right? Do you want to get a higher score? You, like Shan Chang, Yuan Tiangang, and Zheng Jie, are all super-grades. Which one of them is higher and which one is lower? So this is an endless appeal. Even if you are really the best in the world, won't you give birth to heaven? The idea of a fight with God?"
I have to say that Third Senior Brother is a very thoughtful person.
"So I think life itself is the most important thing."
The third senior brother raised his head and said, "I especially like what you said, junior brother. Do you know which sentence it is?"
"Which sentence?"
"Life must be lived exquisitely and with a sense of ritual."
The third senior brother sighed with emotion: "I now understand that if it is just to live, it is no different from the walking dead. In the past ten years, although I had no worries about food and clothing, except for pursuing the ultimate in cultivation, I was indifferent to other things, and even my clothes were I don’t wash my vagina even if it turns black. What’s the point of living like this? Or can it still be considered living like this?”

Damn it, Zhao Xun thinks that the third senior brother is just a philosopher.
These words can only be said by a philosopher.
"So Third Senior Brother, what are you pursuing now?"
"Pursue the feeling of being alive, that kind of smoke, that feeling of breathing."
The third senior brother, Da Che, realized: "I used to hate the pyrotechnics and pursue the immortal energy. But this is very stupid. Not to mention whether mortals can become immortals through practice. Even if it is possible, they can go to heaven and earth to live forever. But without the seven emotions and six desires, and become as cold as stone, what’s the point of that kind of life? But the fireworks are different, you can feel the bitterness, happiness, and many subtle touches. I figured it out, I imagined a A mortal lives like an ordinary person. As for the realm of cultivation, just let it happen."
The person who can say such a thing is absolutely extraordinary.
Zhao Xun even suspected that the third senior brother was a time traveler.
But if you think about it carefully, it's impossible.
If the third senior brother is really a time traveler, he will definitely be able to judge that Zhao Xun is also a time traveler from the many details of getting along with Zhao Xun right away, and he will not act like this.
"That's what I'm after."
Zhao Xun nodded and said: "Third Senior Brother, you are good. If you live in the way you want, I think your cultivation level will also improve as a result."
Although Zhao Xun didn't know where the third senior brother's cultivation limit was, he must be able to reach the first level.
Haoran Academy needs first-level experts other than the mountain chief. Zhao Xun feels that compared to the senior sister, the third senior brother is more likely to be the first to enter the first-level realm.
