Huaizuo Mingdu, Zhuxi is the best place, and the saddle is less stationed at the beginning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In the past, Jiang Kui was slow in Yangzhou, three sentences, it was over, Yangzhou was prosperous and famous in the country, but at that time, the golden soldiers went south, and the lives were devastated, so the buckwheat was green, very desolate, but the people of the country were very tenacious in survival, like grass, wildfires could not be burned, and the spring breeze blew and reborn. In the past, the Huaihai area north of Yangzhou Chen soldiers millions, the two sides of the confrontation, Dayue Taizu from the north of the army, Huaiyang around the former dynasty mourning the elite soldiers all wiped out, since then the destiny of the Qing dynasty, this war, will be Weiyang around a hundred years of savings almost exhausted, fortunately, so seventy or eighty years of recuperation, the prosperity of the twenty-four bridges can be seen again.

From the waters of the Yangtze River in Zhenjiang Mansion to the northeast direction again, only to see the vast space and water between the two banks, there are green on both sides, a trumpet-shaped estuary, the boats come and go endlessly, this place is the passage of the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River, the south end of the Tongji Canal, not only Xue Pan this kind of big ship with the flag of the government, small boats and sampan canoes are endless, there are many fishermen who have caught many green shrimps, purple crabs and golden carp in the Yangtze River, the oars are thrown quickly, firmly chasing the official boats, "Official, official!" There are excellent appetizers! ”

Several people surrounded Xue Pan's official ship and walked with the waves, just to deter Xue Pan's boat with the banner of "Jinling Weaving Mansion", so he didn't dare to be presumptuous, Xue Pan looked around, very interested, so he called people: "Buy it, the big guys will try it, this good thing just caught on the Yangtze River, but it is better than the family." ”

Everyone did not persuade, Hengzhi could have eaten in Jiangdu Station, but the post station on this waterway, how to compare to the Yangtze River fresh, the uncle spoke, naturally Gaole, someone hurriedly put down the soft ladder, and took those river fresh, the purple crab was very large, it was even bigger than Xue Pan's round face, so he hurriedly took it down and made it, the green shrimp was just scalded with boiling water, chopped with soy sauce and vinegar and dipped in the ginger and dipped in it, the purple crab choked with soju, chopped into eight pieces, mixed with sea salt, salty and fresh, and the carp was cooked in pickled vegetables, So simple and very delicious, Xue Pan opened a jar of Shaoxing rice wine and poured himself to drink, but it was very pleasant.

Occasionally, the song of the warbler sounded, Xue Pan was very interested, stretched out his long head and looked at the river, only to see a lot of sails painted red, there were many grease and powder women leaning on the mast, towards Xue Pan kept throwing flattering eyes, waving bright handkerchiefs, Xue Pan stopped eating, stood up, "Yo, these girls are really fresh, why are they so lively?" ”

He couldn't help but lean outside, staring at the pink boats carefully, Yin Tianzheng on the side smiled and said: "Uncle, these are the most popular sisters on the canal, the body is very soft, on the boat, if you take advantage of the wind and waves, one high and one low, but it is more refreshing than in the clouds." ”

Xue Pan couldn't help but feel that the little devil in his heart suddenly wanted to move, "This is really a little bit ...... to see."

Mama Wang's cough sounded very timely behind her, "Yin Huyuan," Mama Wang said majestically, "You are not allowed to talk to the uncle about these inconsequential words," Yin Tianzheng hurriedly bent down and quietly fled to the side, and Mama Wang said to Xue Pan again, "I remember what my brother and wife told me, but I came to Yangzhou on an errand." ”

Xue Pan smiled dryly, "Naturally, it's an errand, don't worry, Mama, isn't this entertainment?" Naturally," Xue Pan pretended to be honest and honest, "Yin Tianzheng is very disagreeable, and he actually wants to take me badly, it's really damned, I'll punish him for using the eagle claw skill to go down the Yangtze River to catch a few pigs and dragons for me." ”

Yin Tianzheng frowned sadly, "That pig dragon is infinitely powerful, although the small one can do a little trick, but it is not a fairy character, it is better for the uncle to invite the old fairy in the dream to come, maybe give the uncle a fishing rod, and the pig dragon will take the bait." ”

Before Xue Pan could say anything, a faint noise suddenly sounded in the wind on the river, and Yin Tianzheng, who was still laughing, had a tense face and said to Xue Pan, "This is the whistle of the Yangtze River Sailor!" ”

A few people hurriedly looked towards the river, only to see the pink ships that were still trying their best to solicit business around the major official ships just now, and heard the whistle from afar, like frightened birds, they flew out from the center of the river, ready to approach the river, and became rammed by the big ships, these ships spread out like pink flamingos, except for a few ships with official bodies standing still, the rest of the merchant ships and cargo ships were busy avoiding it, but this mess, for a while, even if it was the Yangtze River estuary in Yangzhou, it was a vast tight, It also became a pot of porridge.

Xue Panqi said, "Is it the whistle of the Yangtze River Sailor?" Is it the whistle that makes the big guy so messy? The officers and soldiers of this sailor division are too domineering, right? ”

"It's not that they are domineering," Yin Tianzheng explained, "This is the whistle of the Yangtze River Navy Division to arrest key criminals and conduct military affairs, and when they hear such a whistle, all ships have to be avoided." ”

The whistle is getting closer and closer, only to see a lot of brightly colored flags rising in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, obviously, the Yangtze River sailor is about to arrive, the ships at the mouth of the Yangtze River are becoming more and more chaotic, a few sampans accidentally touched Xue Pan's boat, some rolled over on their sides, some entered the water, a lot of chaos, Xue Pan frowned and said: "We have peace in the world here, what military affairs do we want to do there." ”

"This military affairs are also related to external affairs," Yin Tianzheng said again, "Although the ships of various countries are now unhindered by trade, they must not come in and sell goods without paying taxes at the port, let alone Yangzhou, there are many private foreign merchants in Jinling, and the most important military affairs of the Yangtze River Navy Division is this." ”

Xue Pan suddenly realized, "It turned out to be an anti-smuggling," an errand that can make money, it is normal for the big guys to be so frightened of the sailors, "No wonder the big guys are so nervous, it must be that many of these ships are foreigners who come in privately." ”

Yin Tianzheng instructed the nurses again, "Put some on me when you see it!" We are also serious officials, don't be underestimated, but we can't cause trouble! If there is a question, reply quickly, lest you be blackmailed! He said to Xue Pan again, "They are the most powerful on the Yangtze River, we are the dragons crossing the river, so we don't have to compete with them for any length." ”

Xue Pan nodded, "What you said is that if you want to let it, it doesn't hurt to let it go, I can watch the play, we naturally don't have any foreigners here, huh?" Where's my wine? ”

"Brother has already drunk several cups, and he can't drink anymore."
