This escort took the water route, not Surabaya, but first the Guangji River, then went north via Dingtao, entered the Beiqing River, and headed towards Liangshan. I was lucky enough to reach Beijing, which is Damingfu, but it was a pity that I didn’t have the opportunity to go to this place I yearned for. Take a walk around the Holy Land.
Who among those who have served the people would not want to salute in front of Tiananmen Square? Unfortunately, there is no Tiananmen Square now, and Damingfu is only a northern state capital, and has not yet become the economic, political and cultural center of the country.
After Sun Shubo and Liang Shiguang were stabbed by Xia Song because of Wang Deyong, they had a knife held to their necks and rushed to the store. They simply asked Secretary Huang to treat their injuries, and then were escorted by the soldiers of the Tianwu Army themselves. Sent to Shouzhou to do hard labor.
The time was a few days earlier than Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan came out with fifty escorts to escort the escorts. It was better to say that he was out for a spring outing. He had neither money nor escorts. He had a great time traveling around the mountains and rivers. The treasure ship was sailing on the canal. At first After traveling for more than ten days, we finally arrived at Shandong Dili Realm.
Shitou had never heard of the escort industry before. The group of people traveled in great style. It didn't seem like they were out on business, but more like they were out for sightseeing. Why not just have a group of big men on such a big treasure ship? How many girls are you bringing out?
Moreover, he traveled to Shandong as soon as he came. With this skill, if he transported some grain and medicinal materials to sell them in these places, he could earn more than 10,000 yuan?
However, Liang Chuan dispelled his doubts with just one word. Do you think others don't know how to transport grain? Do you know how much tax is charged on shipping goods on this canal?
Emperor Taizu Wude established the Fifteen Roads in the World, and Shandong belonged to Jingdong Road. During the Xining period, Jingdong Road was divided into two parts, and the seat of East Road was Yingtianfu, which is Nanjing. The current seat of governance is Songzhou, which is the land of Longxing in the Song Dynasty, which is almost the current Shangqiu, Henan.
The waterway in Jeju suddenly narrowed, the water level in the river became shallow, and the water and grass on both sides were overgrown. Compared with the majestic and vast river of the Surabaya River, it looked more like a natural and unmaintained wild ditch that was about to be silted up.
After all, this is also an important hub between Jingdong Road and Bianjing City. This scene is completely different! Looking at the homes and fields of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, they are desolate and dilapidated. The farmers on the fields are in withered clothes and dull eyes. They are a little at a loss when looking at the huge treasure ship in Liangchuan.
They had seen a lot of canoes, but they had never seen such a big ship.
This place was the land of Qilu in ancient times. Since ancient times, it was thought to be a land rich in fish and salt. It was a must-win place for military strategists to conquer the world. In the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao made his fortune by occupying the two states of Qing and Yan, and then he started to sweep all the way. At this moment, there is no trace of wealth in sight.
Most of the escorts were born in the Central Plains of Bianjing. At this time, Bianjing was the most prosperous in the world. Seeing the depressed scene like Jingdong Road, it was inevitable that everyone felt sad. This was originally an ideal place for people to live in peace. Now it is with The neighboring countries of Liao have turned into this situation, which is really inappropriate.
The accident happened quickly. As soon as the treasure ship passed Dingtao, Jeju tax collectors set their sights on Liang Chuan, the fat sheep.
Several small sampans that were almost sinking in the waterway lay across the water, blocking the way of the treasure ship. On the ship were two old men wearing standard soap clothes. The clothes were as ragged as hay, and they flashed yellow teeth. There is endless greed in his small eyes.
Liang Chuan stood on the bow of the boat, and as soon as he saw this posture, a bad feeling came into his heart. He has seen many people like this. Countryside people dare to collect tolls after blocking the road. This phenomenon is not uncommon even when Liang Chuan is at work, let alone where Gao Di is far away!
Shitou shouted at the escort: "Do we have an escort from Shandong here?"
Everyone looked at each other, only one bodyguard who was slightly taller than the others came out and clasped his fists and said: "Second master, I am a true Yizhou native!"
Yizhou is Langya, the ancestral home of Zhuge Liang and Wang Xizhi. The name has changed over time, and it is now called Linyi.
Shitou said: "I remember your name is Ma Xun, right? Come over and see what this is doing?"
Ma Xun went to the side of the ship and took a look. He patted the stone on the side and said, "Leech from the Dog Government!"
Liang Chuan said: "There will be more along the way?"
Ma Xun cheered, tilted his face to the side with some embarrassment and said: "Jingdong Road is also the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, a land of etiquette, but the government here is extremely bureaucratic, and it still exploits merchants and people along the way. , The big boss has seen it along the way. There is no half of the prosperity of the world now. The life of the common people is getting worse day by day. I am not afraid of the big boss’s ridicule. I, Ma, have no ability to serve the country in this land and soil. I can only stay far away. Let’s go to Bianliang. According to me, there are many tax points that block rivers to collect taxes! Just go past the Jeju boundary and enter Yangshanbo. There is no need to worry about these blood-sucking scum there in the eight hundred miles of water!"
Ma Xun's expression of being ashamed of his hometown immediately made all the bodyguards feel united with the enemy Kai. The bodyguards shouted: "Master, why don't you let us go down and teach these government lackeys a lesson!"
Liang Chuan suppressed everyone's indignation and whispered: "How to teach them a lesson? Submerge them in the river or tie them up? Let's go out to make a living. To put it bluntly, it is no different from going to someone else's territory to beg for food. I don't want to hear it from you again in the future. Talking about fighting and killing!"
A group of people ignored a few people on the river, which made them very unhappy. They were already shouting and cursing on the river: "Where did you people come from? Stop the boat quickly, Jeju government conducts a routine inspection!"
After Liang Chuan signaled, Xia Dehai had no choice but to dock the boat, put down the partition and let the three people get on the boat.
The three people boarded the ship. They thought that the ship was huge and that it should carry countless gold, silver, jewelry and rare treasures. Even if it didn't, there should be countless goods. Unexpectedly, as soon as they boarded the ship, fifty bodyguards plus a team The team members were blocked.
The escorts and the experienced members of the team all exuded a fierce and unruly Jianghu aura, which instantly suffocated the three of them, causing them to huddle against the side of the ship like helpless little red riding hoods.
"You are brave! Retreat quickly!"
Liang Chuan smiled heartily and said: "Everyone, step back and forget about our hospitality!"
Each of the bodyguards seemed to have a blood feud with the three little officials who had set up the card. They stared at the three people with eyes that could almost spit out fire. Liang Chuan deliberately wanted the bodyguards to give these three people a blow and walked slowly away. He came to the three of them and said, "We are all from the countryside. Country folk don't know etiquette. Don't be offended, sir!"
The three of them said angrily: "If you don't understand, just be honest and don't urinate to see who's territory is here!"
This sentence suddenly ignited the emotions of all the escorts. Liang Chuan looked around, and then everyone put away their expressions. Liang Chuan apologized and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't you know the name?"
One of the people in the middle snorted coldly and said, "I am Song Xiangquan, the land and water transport envoy to various states on Jingdong Road."
The escorts couldn't help but feel awe-struck. The officer's big name somewhat frightened them.
The transport envoy was the highest chief executive along the route. In the Song Dynasty, civil power was used to control military affairs. He was also responsible for transporting money and food to the capital, and his power was boundless.
Liang Chuan just laughed dryly and heard the man continue to say without taking a breath: "The shipping department of Jeju Prefecture under my command, Caojie Lou, is very expensive."
Everyone was just stunned, seeing that he was still not finished speaking, dragging another oil bottle and saying: "Sima Xun, the river patrol officer under the tent!"
A small official who is like sesame seeds and mung beans! The name of the move almost made everyone laugh out loud! After claiming his own name, he was demoted several levels in a row. Everyone thought he was a high-ranking official, but they didn't expect that even with such a thing, he turned out to be inferior!
Ma Xun heard that his name was just one word different from his own, and he could be considered half of his family, but he was such a dishonest person. He was so ashamed that he wished he could crawl into the cracks in the planks on the deck.
"It turns out to be Lord Sima, disrespectful and disrespectful!"
When Sima Xun saw Liang Chuan being polite, the two people's auras ebbed and flowed, and their bodies seemed to be a little taller. He immediately asked: "What cargo are you pulling on this boat? Do you know that you must pay filial piety when crossing this river!"
Be filial!
Shitou really wanted to kill this wretched Sima Xun with a knife, but Liang Chuan was not surprised and said: "Your Excellency, this ship is not a merchant ship, so it took a few of us to Shouzhou to do some hard work, and we will be back soon!"
"Hmph! Don't hide it from me!"
Liang Chuan said: "I have Master Xia Songxia's documents here!"
Sima Xun was so angry that his beard trembled and said, "What about the summer bamboo shoots?" Sima Xun ignored Liang Chuan at all, took the document handed over by Liang Chuan and put it into his arms without even looking at it, and continued to shout: "I told you It won’t work for you in Jeju even if the King of Heaven comes to Jeju!”
Liang Chuan just watched helplessly as the important amulet given to him by Xia Song was 'confiscated' by Sima Xun. He wanted to reach out and get it back, but even though he was close at hand, he was unable to do so!
In order to ensure that Liang Chuan's trip would go smoothly, Xia Song would take his documents to the local government for help if there was an accident on the way. The letter was also very straightforward. If there was anyone who was difficult to stop him along the way, don't blame him Xia Song. You're welcome.
Sima Xun has been the local land lord of Jeju for decades. He doesn't care whether the person who descends to earth is Guanyin Bodhisattva or Manjusri Samantabhadra. Coupled with the fact that he was illiterate, the letter Xia Song sent to Liang Chuan to protect himself was just like a piece of straw paper! He wouldn't go and see it, and he didn't believe Liang Chuan's words. Even if it was really Xia Song, could it be that Xia Song would come to Jeju to confront him?
Sima Xun walked through the crowd and walked into the cabin. As Liang Chuan said, there was no cargo at all on the boat. There was an old man and a woman in the cabin, and they were extremely simple and had no aura of wealth at all.
There was not even a ballast stone in the huge cabin, just a few black iron pipes!
"What's this!"
Sima Xun didn't know that this was an artillery piece made by Liang Chuan, and he had never seen such a thing before, so he could only question Liang Chuan.
"What is this pipe for?"
Liang Chuan patted the dark cannon pipe: "Hey, sir, this is the pounding pipe used for pounding rice cakes in our hometown. Just put the rice noodles into the pipe and pound it hard with a wooden stick."
Sima Xun put his hand into the core of the cannon tube. He could use one hand to hold some bread and eat it, but now it was as black as if he had dug out the chimney in his house. It was so black that it was shapeless. This black tube could still be used to smash Pounding rice? You can still eat the mashed ones!
Sima Xun was furious, this boy was clearly amusing himself! Such a big ship must not be that simple. There is only one waterway leading to Jingdong Road. If you are pretending that you are not transporting goods, I will not believe that you came back empty-handed!
Xia Song's letter is not easy to use, so we can only do our best! This Sima Xun is obviously a hungry wolf. If he doesn't get any meat, he will definitely dig a hole in the boat and turn it over!
Liang Chuan had already noticed this guy's expression, found an opportunity where no one could see him, took out five golden melon seeds from his pocket, handed them to Sima Xun and said, "Sir, please be accommodating!"
Sima Xun weighed it in his hands and opened his eyes suddenly. He almost thought that he had seen it wrong. He was so happy that he almost wrote the word greedy on his face and almost told others that he had benefited!
Shitou was furious, Liang Chuan must have used money to clear the way again! In the past, it was okay to treat people with humiliation every day because I didn't have a good personality. Now, after all, I know a lot of high-ranking officials in the court. Just saying hello will make this dog official of Jeju Prefecture very happy! Why do you need to sell your face to these stupid people?
Liang Chuan held the stone that was about to explode, but politely said to Sima Xun: "Master Sima just took away the document from the villain, can you return it to the villain?"
Si Ma I want you to look good!”
It would be okay if he couldn't understand this letter. Now that it's fine, Sima Xun took the letter back. If a normal person saw it, he wouldn't dare to think that nothing happened. Xia Song is a person with a good face. If He knew that the people on Tokyo Road had treated him like a fart, and the fury of thunder descended, making life worse than death for officials at all levels in this area!
Liang Chuan still had a smile on his face and looked at the stone and said to Xia Dehai: "It's almost tonight. Look, we have spent a few golden melon seeds along the way, and I'm afraid we will get back even more!"
Shitou said angrily: "Third brother, I'm afraid you didn't see the faces of those three people just now!"
"You haven't seen it before. There are people like this everywhere. We are considered to be people of status now. If we are angry with them every day, it will make our situation smaller!"
Shitou and the bodyguards seemed to be wearing the same pants now, and they all wished they could go back and kill the three thieves. Liang Chuan stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the scenery on the shore without saying much. The treasure ship passed through Jeju, and the water in front of him suddenly opened up. The vast expanse of water and sky connected with each other and he could see the endless distance!
After seeing such an impressive scene, Liang Chuan murmured, "Have we reached the sea?"
Ma Xun said from the side: "The boss has misunderstood. This place is the Liangshan Mountain with eight hundred miles of water!"
Everyone could not help but stand beside the boat with fascination and admire this magnificent scenery! The long smoke and water, the faint clouds and mountains. Not looking at the brightness of the sun and moon, only the water and sky are the same color. The setting sun is melting gold, the river is rippling, and the boats are disappearing in silhouette. The red polygonum flowers are everywhere, and the green reed leaves are everywhere. Two pairs of swan geese, whining at Shazhujitou, face to face with wagtails, sleeping tiredly by the bank of Baiheting. The fisherman put away his fishing rod and the boatman held his bamboo pole. There were no disputes on the water, only abundance and peace!
Liang Chuan smiled and said: "My name is Liang Chuan, but I was born in the mountains and have no connection with Sichuan. This place is called Liangshan, but there are 800 miles of rivers. It seems that it is most appropriate for the two of us to change our names!"
When the escorts Xia Dehai, Luo Xian and the stone man heard this, they all stood on the bow and laughed loudly. Liang Chuan was hearty and uninhibited, and his open-mindedness really made people feel close to him!
Liang Chuan's interest aroused, and he suddenly thought of a song that was very suitable for the occasion, and shouted in an extremely heroic voice:
Grandpa was born between heaven and earth! Don’t be afraid of the court or officials!
Cast a sky net over the water! Inside the turtle bastard's hood!
Grandpa was born between heaven and earth! If you don’t seek wealth and honor, don’t be an official!
Live a life in Liangshan! Delicious and delicious!
Grandpa was born between heaven and earth! Kill thieves and officials for fun!
What can the King of Hell do to me? So what about Guanyin Bodhisattva!
It's hard to bear the nonsense in the world, just for the sake of a strong character in life!
I can kill indiscriminately with my sword, so why not die tomorrow morning?
When Liangchuan's song started, the entire Liangchuan Park was as quiet as an audience. The voices from eight hundred miles away were muted, and it became a stage for Liangchuan alone. This song was originally a fishing song sung by the Ruan brothers, a hero from Liangshan a hundred years later. This water mooring is perfect for the occasion. Everyone on the treasure ship was fascinated by it. In addition, the uninhibited and free and easy lyrics in the lyrics are easy to understand. Which man would not cheer for it!
Liang Chuan only sang once, and all the bodyguards followed Liang Chuan in singing loudly. Singing this song alone did not have the momentum of walking alone in the world, and the whole boat sang in unison. The heroic spirit instantly fills the space between heaven and earth, and the rolling sound waves make people feel so passionate!
