Liang Chuan purified the new batch of salt, and the two immediately set off on the road to Tangyouzhou.
Carrying too much money is too ostentatious.
Before leaving, Liang Chuan took part of the money and added a big stone on top. This small temple really wouldn't attract anyone's attention. Liang Chuan felt relieved that the money was hidden here.
Tangyou means the sun in the Nong language, so Tangyou Prefecture is also called the City of the Sun.
Usually places that dare to have such a domineering name are not too bad, but when Liang Chuan arrived at this damn place, he realized that there is no worst or poorest place in the world, only worse and poorer places!
Ande Prefecture and Guangyuan Prefecture are still towns after all, but Guangyuan Prefecture has a smaller population. This Tangyou Prefecture is simply a primitive tribe!
Many people inside still live in thatched huts, temporary and simple thatched huts, not even bamboo stilted buildings.
The two of them walked around, but there was no place selling salt!
After asking about it, I found out that salt dealers are too lazy to come to such a ghost place because the people here are too poor. It is a waste of time and money to open a shop here. The salt dealers only transport salt during the monthly market. Come here and sell it secretly.
The two of them walked around and bought some meat first. They ate the roasted chicken for a few days. Although it was delicious, it couldn't stand the torture. Liang Chuan already had some problems with his excretion. If he didn't eat some green vegetables, he would be afraid. The intestines are blocked! Barbecued food is the most likely to cause internal heat. If you eat too much, the harm will become apparent.
Liang Chuan bought some wild vegetables from the mountains, spent less than a few cents, and bought a fat duck, as well as some yak meat that was said to be shipped from Dali and Tubo. The meat fiber looked very thick, so he bought it back to prepare. Make a pot of broth and drink it.
This kind of yak meat is actually not very tasty when made into soup. If you have the opportunity to make it into air-dried bacon, it will have a more flavorful flavor. But the two of them were wandering around, and there was no chance of making dried meat.
There is no place selling salt in the city, and there is no place like a hotel or restaurant. Liang Chuan has never stayed in a hotel.
He heard that the culture of restaurants and brothels in the Song Dynasty was the most outstanding, and countless famous works by literati were born there. However, he looked at the shabby situation of this place and did not want to live there.
He was afraid of encountering a restaurant like Zhang Qing's in Cross Slope. It didn't matter if he ran out of money, but he was afraid that his life would be risked in it.
The two of them entered the city at dawn and walked around the city, but couldn't find even a decent store!
Without in-store consumption, Liang Chuan would have no way to sell the salt he had on hand!
Moreover, people in Tangyouzhou seemed to be afraid of salt sellers. When Liang Chuan walked into their store and explained his intention, the boss was not only unhappy, but also looked frightened!
Even if Liang Chuan asked him why he was afraid, he wouldn't tell him. He just kept urging Liang Chuan to leave.
Although Liang Chuan didn't find out, he could probably guess it.
Someone here must have a monopoly on selling private salt. Not every place is peaceful and you can do business with peace of mind. Some people will not tolerate you getting involved in their interests and territory?
As soon as the two of them came out of the shop they were looking for, a group of Nong people came to the door with their guys. Liang Chuan and A Yue hid in the dark and saw all this with their own eyes.
The Nong who came to the door asked sharply: "Where is the man who sold salt just now?"
The shop owner was also puzzled: "When I turned around, why did the two people disappear?"
Thinking that the shop owner was amusing him, the farmer yelled, "I'm telling you, old man, only the chieftain can sell salt in this place. If you let me know that you sneak salt in from other places, I will dismantle your place first." Bird Shop, kill your whole family again and hang your heads at the intersection for public display!"
The shop owner quickly apologized and said, "Master, you, the little ones, and a hundred little ones don't dare to mess up the chieftain's affairs. As soon as I heard that someone was selling smuggled salt, I immediately went to inform the chieftain." Already!"
The nongren continued to yell and curse unhappily: "Damn it, but the salt seller still got away. It's all because you, old man, are not doing things quickly. Why did you go there earlier? You two must be colluding, thinking I want to get benefits but also want to be a good person!"
The owner of this store is also a responsible person. He originally thought that it would be better to do less than to do more.
Just confess. I never wanted to offend such a living king of hell. Liang Chuan was furious when he looked at it. What kind of worldly behavior is this? If someone is so unreasonable, no one will take care of him?
At this time, he couldn't control it. The two of them stayed motionless and hid behind the house for a day. The so-called most dangerous place was the safest place, and then they immediately left Tangyouzhou under the cover of night the next day!
Liang Chuan knew that public security in ancient society was very poor. People with power and money were above the law. They could run rampant in the countryside without being punished, but he did not expect that they could go so far. What was the difference between them and the Lord of Hell here? If they don't get along, they'll fight and kill each other. Will the people still have a way to survive?
What he fears most is encountering this kind of scene. There is no reason to say that it is life and death! They can't stay in this place any longer!
It is true that selling smuggled salt is illegal, but it must be handed over to the government for trial. Are these underground firing squads taking away the responsibilities of government officials themselves?
This place is simply a paradise for bandits and rebellious elements. They can find any excuse, raise a big flag, and dare to claim that they are doing justice for heaven. Just a little time!
Seeing Liang Chuan's nervous look, Ah Yue, a half-year-old child, still didn't know what it meant to have a difficult life and a sinister heart.
However, in the past few days of contact, she only knew that being with Liang Chuan made her feel safe.
He would go wherever Liang Chuan went.
Liang Chuan took Ah Yue and walked downstream along the river. Going back upstream was the source of Yujiang River, Guangyuan Prefecture.
It is said that the river reaches the end of the sea, and in the middle reaches Yongzhou, where the Guangnan administrative office is located, which is considered the most prosperous place in Guangnan.
However, Liang Chuan did not want to go to Yongzhou at this time. There was a Yongzhou Escort Bureau in Yongzhou. Although he was not sure about the exact time when the Escort Bureau appeared, he was sure that the Escort Bureau was definitely not a product of the early Northern Song Dynasty. Escort Bureaus appeared in this era, and then they had to Finding someone with the same name and surname as yourself is absolutely extraordinary! He doesn't want to explore what the escort agency has to do with him. If something good happens, it won't be his turn!
Even if he goes to Yongzhou in the future, it will be the time when he is ready to find out everything. He will never go at this time!
If this is a dangerous place, aren't you looking for death? It doesn't matter if he dies, but what should he do if he still has A Yue, a sister-in-law?
The two found a boat by the river. As soon as they got on the boat, the captain stared at Liang Chuan. It was obvious that he knew Liang Chuan. When Liang Chuan saw the captain's eyes, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately thought to himself, "It's not good, I'm afraid he'll get on a pirate ship again." !
The boatman was very old, and it was a bit difficult to ferry on the river. He stared at Liang Chuan and smiled along the way. Liang Chuan was not worried about anything else. Just on this vast river, if something happened, where would they flee?
Little girl Ah Yue was riding a boat for the first time in her life. She looked around excitedly. The waves on the river were relatively stable, but the waves were still shaking the little girl at a loss.
There were fish jumping out of the water from time to time on the river, and Ah Yue excitedly pointed them out to Liang Chuan.
How could Liang Chuan still be in the mood to look at the scenery? His hands were full of sweat!
nervous!
His eyes were also fixed on the old boatman. When the boat arrived in the river, Liang Chuan thought that if he really came to seek revenge, or if the water thieves robbed money, he would be ready to take action. Fortunately, he had a hatchet with him!
While thinking about it, his hand had already touched the handle of the knife!
The old boatman has been on the river for decades and has seen countless people. He has never experienced any kind of storm. He can understand Liang Chuan's expressions and movements at a glance.
He smiled at Liang Chuan, opened his mouth and said, "Did my benefactor forget me?"
Liang Chuan was startled. He had traveled through time and borrowed someone else's body. How could he remember who was in front of him?
Liang Chuan smiled hoarsely.
"Look at my memory, I got the wrong person!"
How could the old boatman remember it wrong!
That day, the water thieves on the Zuojiang River found his boat and told him that two Han people would come to sit on his boat in the near future. After they got on the boat, they would ask him to support them. Upstream, these water thieves are going to cause trouble for the two Han people.
He didn't know what the grudge between the water thief and Liang Chuan was.
I don’t want to know, the old boatman only knows that these water thieves are extremely cruel, their methods are even more ruthless, and they kill people as if they were nothing! If he doesn't obey, his life will be gone!
The old boatman followed the water thief's instructions and actually waited for Liang Chuan and the others on the Zuojiang River. Taking advantage of the two men falling asleep after boarding the boat, he pushed them upstream and wanted to hand them over to the water thief. Unexpectedly, this little move made Liang Chuan... After discovering it, he thought that he would shed a layer of skin even if he didn't die this time, but he didn't expect that Liang Chuan actually gave him a sum of money and sent him away!
The old boatman had been relying on boats to make a living all his life. There was no way to survive on the Zuojiang River. Taking the money Liang Chuan gave him, he ran to Yujiang to continue making a living. As things happened, he met this benefactor on the river again!
It's just that my benefactor seems not to remember him. It's strange that nearly a year has passed. How can my benefactor remember this little old man like me?
As soon as Liang Chuan denied it, the old boatman immediately felt that he was in trouble!
Who would dare to bring matters up to the table that would offend the water thieves? Liang Chuan was quick to deny it. Thanks to his lifetime, he was not as good as a young junior.
"The official is going to Qiyuanzhou this time. The place has not been very peaceful recently. I advise the official not to go!"
"Why, did something happen there?"
"People from the south come to our Song Dynasty from time to time recently. Old man, I have seen such a scene before. This is because the Yue people in the south are preparing to stir up trouble again. There may be another war!"
What!
Liang Chuan kept calling him unlucky, who the hell wrote this script? Time travel shouldn't be for enjoyment, why are you either a bandit or a war? How can you survive in this troubled world? People are worse than dogs!
