When Li An heard this, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, these fishermen are indeed very smart and know how to get the most out of themselves, because the reef in this era has a lot of fish resources, so every time they go out to sea to fish, they can catch a boatload of all kinds of marine fish, and fill every corner of the fishing boat.

Because it is too full, everyone's fish are crowded together, so when they reach the shore, these fresh sea fish become dead fish and can only be sold for the price of dead fish.

But there is no way to do it, if it is to ensure that all the marine fish are stocked, to provide sufficient space and seawater for each fish, then the capacity of the fishing boat will be reduced too much, but it is even more uneconomical, so for the maximum benefit, they can only catch as many fish as possible, and use the advantage of numbers to earn more money.

Of course, it is true that ordinary fish are like this, but if you encounter particularly valuable fish, or the size of ordinary fish is particularly large, then it is another matter, this is called a strange commodity to live in, the price can be sold very high, and the price of live fish is even higher, so once you encounter a particularly valuable fish, the fishermen will be like serving their ancestors, pick them out alone, use clean sea water to feed them, and even change the sea water for them on the way, which can be said to be very well served. It is to make these strange fish reach the shore alive and then sell them at a price that satisfies them.

In fact, whether it is a precious fish, an ordinary fish, or an extra-large ordinary fish, they are all about the same, but the price is too far apart.

This is determined by the market, all unique fish are strange goods, there are always some wealthy people, in order to show that they are different from others, willing to spend ten times, or even a hundred times the money, to buy different fish.

It's as if if you eat a particularly large fish, you can live for decades longer than others, or if you eat a precious fish, your status will be even more noble.

In the eyes of many wealthy people, being able to buy the rarest fish is a good omen, and for this good omen, they would rather spend more money

Or, there are also people who feel that only in this way can they reflect their status, if the poor eat what they eat, then how to reflect their aristocratic status and reflect their own differences.

Therefore, the fishermen catch the sea fish and rare species, as long as they are transported to the most luxurious Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, they will always be snapped up.

Li An didn't want to disturb the fishermen's work, so he ordered the fleet to maintain formation and slowly pass through the Nansha Sea, all the way north.

At this time, the express train, the speed is still not fast enough, and the long-distance bus of later generations is not much different, the biggest advantage is that it can keep running, day and night, this is the real advantage, even if it goes slower, but as long as it travels day and night, it can also reach the destination in a relatively short time.

Li Hanlu and Li Ya'er spent most of their time in the inner room of the private room along the way, looking at the various scenery outside through the transparent car window.

The feeling of different scenery constantly passing by is very pleasant, especially when passing by the more scenic sections, it can make people have a very comfortable feeling.

Because in summer, the temperature of Chang'an City is also very high, so there is almost no difference between the climate of the south and the north, but at this moment it is autumn, and the temperature of Chang'an City has begun to decrease, and the temperature in the south does not mean to decrease in the slightest, so the further south you go, the more you will feel that the temperature is rising.

In addition, the environment in the south is also very different from the north, the scenery in the north gives people a very rough feeling, while the scenery in the south is relatively mild, even the rain seems so gentle, the rain on the body is like really caressing people's faces.

Li Hanlu and Li Ya'er have always lived in the north and have been to the southernmost place, which is estimated to be about the same latitude as Chang'an City, and they lack the necessary understanding of the real Jiangnan.

This time, they have arrived at a very southerly position, and the scenery they see along the way makes them very excited, because many of the scenery is impossible to see in the north.

"Sister, where are we and how far are we from Guangzhou?"

Li Ya'er has been on the train for several days in a row, and asked while looking at the scenery outside.

Li Hanlu naturally didn't know too much, smiled, looked at the window, and said: "I seem to have seen the sign of Ezhou just now, this should be Ezhou, we have walked more than half of the distance, and we have to walk half more." ”

"Ahh It's only half the way, and Guangzhou is really far away. ”

Li Ya'er pursed her mouth, not like an adult at all.

"Ezhou, Ezhou, Ezhou doesn't have the Yangtze River Bridge, since we have arrived in Ezhou, that is, we will be able to see the Yangtze River Bridge soon!"

Li Hanlu suddenly thought of something, and her expression was quite excited.

The Yangtze River Bridge in Ezhou was built by Li An himself, in order to build this super large bridge across Ezhou, the Tang Dynasty court mobilized huge manpower and material resources, and spent huge financial resources, it can be said that in order to build this bridge, it took a lot of money, but the value of this blood cost is very valuable, if it were not for this bridge, the railway would be broken to Ezhou, so that the goods in the south of the Yangtze River will be difficult to quickly transport to the north, and the economy of the south will be greatly dragged down.

In short, the Ezhou Yangtze River Bridge, for the Tang Empire, is an extremely important bridge, for the safety of this bridge, the imperial court specially set up three hundred soldiers to guard the bridge, responsible for the safety of the bridge, the camp is located at both ends of the bridge, the main battalion of 200 people, the deputy battalion of 100 people, three shifts a day to patrol the bridge, more people during the day, slightly fewer people on duty at night, but at least not less than 50 people.

In addition, there is a military camp of 3,000 people more than ten miles away from the bridge, and once a situation occurs in the bridge area, the soldiers in the barracks can come over at any time to reinforce to ensure the absolute safety of the bridge.

In order to improve the efficiency of freight transportation as much as possible, the bridge is not subject to night bans, and it is open for 12 hours of day and night.

As for the toll, after several reforms, it was finally determined, that is, the train passes directly and does not have to stop, and the carriage and other vehicles on the upper level need to pay a certain fee before they can pass, as for the caravan, the money paid is more, ordinary pedestrians are free to pass, but pedestrians on horseback need to get off the horse and lead them, otherwise, it will be regarded as a carriage, then they will have to pay money.

The carriage and horse lanes are relatively wide, and the sidewalks on both sides are relatively narrow, after all, they are all free to pass, just be able to pass, and think about how good the treatment can be.

Just like the asphalt road of later generations, the specifications of the road paved in the middle for the car are relatively high, and the quality is relatively guaranteed, and the quality of the bicycle road on both sides of the green belt is very worrying, under normal circumstances, it will not take a few years to drop the stones, after all, the middle road is for the car to go, the quality is of course higher, and the grip of the car is relatively large, if the quality is not good, it will soon rot, so that the person responsible for the construction will not be able to eat and walk, and the sidewalks on both sides are not of good quality, Bicycles are also difficult to cause too much damage to the road, drag on for a year and a half, the road surface is broken nothing, anyway, the leaders are driving the middle of the road, and will not go to the sidewalks on both sides, so, the sidewalk will not have much impact if it is broken, at least, it will not have so much influence, how much wind and waves can the poor set off.

Of course, if the bicycle lane is really only bicycles walking, even if the quality is a few grades worse is not too big, there is no ten or eight years can not be broken, but the bicycle lane will inevitably have cars occasionally passing, and this kind of road surface quality that can only carry bicycles, how can it withstand the friction of the tires of the car, so that there may be damage in half a year, and it is not even as good as the dirt road, after all, the dirt road is relatively smooth when it is dry, and it will not bump when riding, and the road full of stones, it is more tragic, on such a road car, is a great torture.

Li An many years ago, has invented the bicycle, although, at that time the bicycle was a wooden frame, the wheels are relatively hard, riding such a bicycle is more tiring, but after so many years of development, the structure of the bicycle, resulting in great changes, among them, especially the tire has changed the most, since there are inflated tires, the resistance of riding has been greatly reduced, at the same time, the bumpiness has also been greatly reduced, in short, the new bicycle and the bicycle of later generations are not much different, It's a lot more comfortable to ride a bike like this than a car.

It is precisely because the performance of bicycles has been greatly improved, so, in Chang'an, the capital of Datang, you can already see a lot of people riding bicycles on the street, even more than horseback riders, but because of the limitation of production capacity, so, in the rest of Datang, bicycles are relatively rare, Luoyang City is slightly more, and the rest of the city can have more than a dozen cars.

Ezhou is a relatively remote place, so, the bicycles here in Ezhou, almost invisible, every day from the governor of Ezhou will pass through the bridge, in addition to the train at the bottom, the upper layer is the carriage and caravan carriage of the caravan, on both sides are the people on foot and a small number of people leading horses.

Of course, there are also horseback riders who feel that they are high, and they are not willing to take the sidewalk, so they can only pay money to buy a road, and then, riding a horse through the bridge from the middle of the road, the speed and momentum are good, if there are occasional bicycles to pass, then, it will definitely cause many people to look sideways.

The bridge of Datang is still very strong, under the supervision of Li An's parents, even the upper sidewalk with the lowest technical requirements has been accepted many times, and the quality is absolutely good, not to mention pedestrians on foot, even if the ironclad car is trampled on, there will be no problems with the quality, and there will be no gravel flying around.

"Hey, why did you slow down, and you're going to stop again."

Li Ya'er was looking at the scenery outside the window, and suddenly noticed that the scenery was moving more and more slowly, and then, soon the train turned a corner and entered the temporary parking area of a large station, ready to receive supplies.

The demand for materials for passenger trains is relatively large, so it is necessary to replenish every day, all kinds of food and water, as well as the fuel that the train urgently needs, must be replenished in time, otherwise, the train will not be able to operate normally.

It takes time to replenish these supplies, so every time you stop, you need to wait for half an hour for all the supplies to be in place.

When supplying supplies, the passengers on the car, according to the regulations, are not allowed to get off the bus to rest, otherwise, once you don't get on the bus in time, it is not very bad, but everything is an exception, the staff on the car and the distinguished guests in the private room can get off the car to stretch their muscles, after all, the number of these people is relatively small, as long as you send a few people to follow, call them back in time, if everyone gets off the car to play, then you can't call one by one.

"Stop, let's go down and breathe! Everything is good here, it's just that the air isn't fresh enough. ”

Li Hanlu will take everyone out of the car to breathe every time he supplies in the vehicle, but he will leave two people in the private room to watch the luggage to prevent someone from sneaking in and stealing things, in any era, there will inevitably be thieves on the train, after all, in any era, there will be scumbags who are lazy and lazy, these people are just unwilling to make a good living, and choose to steal and rob.

"Wow, the bridge, what a big bridge! This is the Ezhou Yangtze River Bridge that my sister just said! It's huge! Let's go up and have a look. ”

Li Ya'er saw such a huge bridge for the first time and said in amazement.

Li Hanlu greeted the entourage behind him, and everyone walked towards the bridge together, in addition, there were many passengers who got off the bus, who were also attracted by the grandeur of the bridge, and they all walked towards the bridge.

There are still a lot of pedestrians on the bridge, but there are still more caravans in the middle, and there are fewer pedestrians on both sides, and Li Hanlu and these people have to walk on the sidewalk at the farthest side, so it will not be crowded, and the width of five steps is still very spacious for pedestrians.

There were fifty or sixty passengers who got off the train, and almost all of them ran to the bridge, and among them, many literati had already begun to recite poems, although the poems were relatively ordinary, but it was good to be able to compose poems.

Even, there are some prodigals who are not honest, when they are composing poems, they add Li Hanlu and Li Ya'er next to them to the poems, so that the magnificent bridge and river, as well as the beautiful beauties, are all integrated into one poem.
