After talking to Li Changji for a long time, I also understood a lot of things about Zhou Linling, and I had a deeper understanding of my wife.

Although Li Changji kept the two of them for dinner, both of them refused, he told Li Changji that he would probably go back the day after tomorrow, and Li Changji didn't say anything, just asked him to take care of Zhou Linling and don't let this girl suffer. He nodded and told Li Changji that he would, so there was no need to worry about this.

After the two of them had dinner at Lord Huang's house, they also told Lord Huang and his wife about leaving here the day after tomorrow, Lord Huang nodded, let them come here often to play if they are free, they don't have to worry about food and accommodation, they are welcome to live here at any time.

The next morning, they went to Kunming Pool, although this season is not the season to swim in the lake, but the rich and noble people in the capital do not care about this, Kunming Pool still sings and sings, silk and bamboo play, it seems to be very lively.

They also rented a small boat and played on the Kunming Pond.

The water of the lake is clear, and the trees by the lake are reflected, as if in a painting.

He held the boat, Zhou Linling sat on the bow of the boat, and said to him with a smile: "Do you remember the legend of Fengcheng?" At the beginning, with the help of Danzhu, King Wu unified the southeast and asked Danzhu what he wanted, and Danzhu finally chose Shi Qiang, a beauty, to go boating on the South Lake together, at ease. ”

"This Danzhu is not there, but the beauty is on the side, this Danzhu is not as happy as me."

Zhou Linling's face flushed, and she said softly: "Husband, you know how to make fun of me, I am just Pu Liu's capital, how can I be called a beauty?" ”

He smiled and said to Zhou Linling: "If you are all in the posture of Pu Liu, there will be few beauties in this world." ”

When Zhou Linling heard this, she lowered her head shyly and no longer refuted anything.

Looking at the wide Kunming Pool, he thought of the situation when Emperor Wu trained water masters here decades ago.

After a while, he looked into the distance and said, "Since Emperor Wu, there has been no emperor training sailors here?" ”

Zhou Linling nodded and told him that the cost of training a sailor was huge, and the Yu Dynasty's finances could no longer support the training of a sailor.

Speaking of this, she began to explain that the reason why this sailor was more difficult to train than the cavalry was the boat, and the boat used by the Yu Dynasty was naturally not a small canopy boat, but a large ship.

The price of such a ship is tens of thousands, and if the exercise is damaged, the cost of repairing it is not a trivial matter.

A sailor naturally has more than one ship, the Dong'an sailor has thirty big ships and fifty small boats, this family background is still spelled out by the Wei Dynasty for three hundred years, and the Yu Dynasty wants to get it, at least after a hundred years.

Zhou Linling said this, and naturally sighed, it was really a mistake for Han Bai to let the Youyan Water Master be destroyed, if the Youyan Water Master and the Yi'an Water Master were still there, the Yu Dynasty would not be subject to King Cao.

He didn't say anything, but thought of a fundamental problem, the continent of this world is not blocked by the ocean, and it is still quite difficult to develop water undertakings.

After all, the world can achieve the purpose of exchange by land, so why do you bother to think about how to trade by sea?

Maritime trade is very risky, although he doesn't know what the current ships of the Yu Dynasty look like, he also thinks that at most they are offshore ships, and they can't sail more on the sea.

He also thought about whether there was only this continent in this world, and he couldn't pay attention to it at once.

According to the theory of superplates, there is only one plate in the world.

Without other continents, this sailor would naturally not be able to develop.

He asked how many countries there were on the sea, Zhou Linling thought about it and told him that there was a country in Beihai, which was the sworn enemy of the Yu Dynasty, claiming to inherit the legal system of the Wei Dynasty.

There are thirteen countries in the East China Sea, and these thirteen countries have a general relationship with the Central Plains, and the Yu Dynasty does not have a fleet to crusade against them anyway, and these small countries do not obey the Yu Dynasty.

The difference between this world and the earth is that it has long been known that there are Westerners, and they have been in a stalemate with Westerners for nearly 2,000 years, so it is very difficult to develop a tributary circle.

The Central Plains did not want to be a vassal state, almost all of them were conquests everywhere, and then they were given to the prince as fiefs.

Except for the Yu Dynasty, the princes of other dynasties all had military power and could mobilize troops to quell the rebellion.

Paddled to the middle of Kunming Pond, there were more boats here, and they could hear the singing from inside the boat.

"It's a scene of singing and dancing, how I hope this can continue like this, at least until we die, the world won't be chaotic."

Hearing this, Zhou Linling said with a smile: "Xianggong, the world will not be chaotic too quickly, the general saint is mediocre, and there will be a crisis when the traitor gets power. ”

He did not refute this, he did not agree with this statement, this is a typical Confucian view of history, that the foundation of the maintenance of the dynasty is on the monarch and the minister, and do not know that the contradiction between the classes is the root of the demise of the dynasty, Jiaxi in those years, the continuous civil uprising, shows that the contradiction of the Yu Dynasty has reached a sharp level, and now it is just the prime minister to ease the contradiction, if you don't want to solve this contradiction, then the Yu Dynasty will naturally perish.

He has no way to resolve the contradictions, and now he does not even know at all the intensification of contradictions, if it is about annexation, the phenomenon of annexation here is not very serious, and the popular rebellion he knows about is not due to the lack of land.

While he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a scream, and then a servant girl shouted from the boat: "Someone has fallen overboard, someone has fallen overboard." ”

They looked at it, and sure enough, there was a man struggling not far away, and he rowed the boat over, and then stretched out a penny, let the man grasp, and slowly pulled the man to the side of the boat.

He didn't dare to jump down rashly to save people, this drowning person would struggle, and when you went to rescue, if you didn't pay attention, you would be caught by him and unlucky.

When the man got on the boat, he shivered with cold, and he handed him his clothes, and when the man put them on, he barely felt better.

At this time, the man's boat also came over, and several people came down from the soft ladder and asked worriedly: "Childe, are you okay?" ”

The boy shook his head and said to him: "Thank you for saving your life, I don't know what your Excellency will call, I will come to thank you after your birthday." ”

He said no, even if he didn't help, these servants would come down to save him, and it was just a gesture, and if he was too worried, he would be embarrassed.

Seeing him say this, the boy shook his head, he must repay him for saving his life.

Childe invited him to his own boat, he thought about it, did not refuse, and went down the soft ladder with Zhou Linling to this big ship.

The ship is also relatively elegant, except for the necessary things, there are no other superfluous items.

The boy told them to sit here for a while, and then went to the back cabin to change their clothes.

After waiting for a while, the boy walked out and introduced himself as Wang.

Hearing this surname, he knew the origin of this Wang Gongzi, although there are many people with the surname Wang in the world, but there are only so many who are rich and glorious.

Wang Gongzi also said that he is the second son, and he came to the lake to play today, but he didn't expect to stand on the railing of the boat and enjoy the so-called wine of the ancients, but unfortunately fell into the water.

Speaking of this, Wang Gongzi couldn't help touching his nose and said that if he hadn't rescued him in time, this prince would have become a guest on Heboza.

He explained again that he was just a gesture, he didn't have to care too much, and if he didn't save himself, the people who swam in the lake would also save him.

Wang Gongzi insisted that he would repay, so the two went back and forth on this issue.

In the end, Zhou Linling reluctantly told Wang Gongzi that they had received their wishes, and if they really wanted to repay, they could just invite them to have lunch on the boat.

Wang Gongzi nodded, and immediately asked the servants to go to the capital in a small boat to prepare dishes, and then asked them where they came from.

He said that he was from Lingshui County, and he came to the capital this time to marry his wife, and he was going back soon.

Wang Gongzi smiled and embarrassedly asked which prefecture Lingshui County was in. Hearing him say that when he was in Yi'an Mansion, Wang Gongzi smiled and said, "Isn't that the place under Lin Kuiru's jurisdiction?" In this way, I will repair a letter to him, and let him say it to your magistrate. I have heard many things in the capital, saying that the local magistrates are lawless, wantonly oppressing the poor and taking money. Although I can't deal with these county officials, I can scare them, and it would be better for you to have my letter. ”

He didn't want to dwell on this topic more, and asked Wang Gongzi what he was doing here, he remembered that the Yu Dynasty had a rule that except for the prince of Guogong, other princes were not allowed to enter Beijing casually.

Wang Gongzi smiled and told him that he was also here to get married, and he was married to the daughter of the Duke of Xianguo, the county lord of Danyang.

There is an unwritten rule that the daughters of these princes will be crowned county lords. As for the reason, Emperor Gao didn't say it, and the courtiers around him naturally didn't dare to ask.

It is normal for the princes to marry each other, but there are very few marriages between the princes, and everyone is worried that if they are not careful, they may be charged with colluding with the feudal town.

Of course, he said congratulations, but Wang Gongzi was very sad about this matter, and talked about his pain with the two of them.

This Danyang county lord is rumored to have the virtue of no salt, Meng Guangzhixian, although these two are virtuous, but they are indeed famous for their ugliness, Danyang county lord is compared with these two people, although there are some exaggerations, but what can be affirmed is that this is by no means a beauty, not even a middle-aged person.

In addition, there are rumors that this Danyang county lord is very fierce, and when he is angry, he chases his brother with a kitchen knife and cuts people.

Although the authenticity of this matter cannot be examined, the mention of his sister by the prince of Xianguo is the same as mentioning the tiger, which makes everyone believe that this matter is indeed there.

This marriage was decided by Wang Gongzi before he was born, so he naturally had no choice.
