Chapter 41 Huaiyang New Wind
"My lord, this is Yangzhou?"
There are more and more passenger ships going south along the canal, and it used to be "fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March", but now, whether it is March or not, the man with the flying ticket in his waist has to go down to Yangzhou.
Although the young man at the bow of the boat shouted "sir", but his adult was not necessarily old-fashioned, but equally young and handsome, and his beautiful hair moved slightly with the wind.
"A dream ...... in the old Jiangdu"
After chattering, the man with a slightly lonely look in his eyes looked at his son and patted his shoulder, "Here in Yangzhou, I have an acquaintance and a great talent, if the eldest brother can worship him as a teacher, it would be the best." β
"Who are you talking about?"
"Jianghuai celebrity Li editor-in-chief."
Hearing his father say this, his son showed a look of surprise, obviously not expecting that his son still knew such a person.
The girls in the cabin who already liked the father and son, when they heard that their father actually knew "Editor-in-Chief Li", their eyes were full of autumn water and apricot eyes.
The sound of the rattling water is endless, not far away by the embankment, waving the long pole of the duck catcher is shouting ducks, to a gate, there is a trestle bridge of civilian boats, but there are more river ambassador signboards, obviously also get the approval.
I saw that the boats that docked at random were mostly small fishing boats or small cargo ships.
You can even see the boatlady in green clothes and linen, very skillfully carrying baskets of duck eggs onto her rocking boat, and then the other party is carrying a basket of other things from her. Or printed and dyed green cloth, or white silk that is not counted.
"It is said that Huaiyang is rich, but in the past, I just heard about it, but now when I see this boat lady dressed up and trading, I know that it is better to see than to hear."
As he spoke, the father pointed to a boat lady, "Big brother, you see, that woman is actually a person who loves to dress up, and others don't really see it, but if you get it in your hand, you will know that what is on the head is not a copper Chuan, but an old Jin Chuan." β
Although the young man was listening, he didn't care, his mind was full of the words "Editor-in-Chief Li", if it weren't for the shipowner shouting "dock", his soul would not have returned to its place.
After landing on the shore, the young man said in surprise: "How can this place be the same as the capital, and there are actually passengers and goods?" β
"Hahahaha, what did this Xiaolang say, it was Huaiyang and Su Yang who divided the passengers and goods first, and then passed it to the capital."
There was a strong man next to him, with a horizontal knife at his waist, but he was tall and hearty, and he didn't make people feel afraid. I saw him clasp his fists at the father and son and said: "I'm on an errand, don't pass it first, and we'll meet again in the future." β
After the father and son returned the salute, the strong man strode straight into the city.
Yangzhou is a big city, although it has been war-torn for a long time, but now it is recovering well. Not only Yangzhou, but Chuzhou is also recovering very well, and the industry and commerce of Huaiyang and Yangyang are revived, not losing much to Suzhou and Hangzhou.
"There are so many new workshops outside the city, compared to the capital, it is not far behind."
It is not easy to live in the capital, and young people are very touched, but when they look at the boundary of Yangzhou, it is even more disturbing, and they know that the housing prices in Jiangdu are afraid that they will not be too low.
"Two, do you want to find a guest house for a short time or find a house to live in for a long time? I am a native of Jiangdu, and I make a living as a Chinese, and I am clear about the yard of the house outside the city. If you look for a change, you will not disappoint the two of you. β
The father and son were about to enter the city, but a person suddenly popped out and sold to the father and son. As he spoke, he handed over a piece of paper, only to see what was printed on the paper, but it was the rent of various houses inside and outside the city, as well as the price of the hotel where the wine store was staying.
After only a sweep, the father frowned slightly: "When the old man came before yesterday, he didn't see it as expensive. β
"Oh, the old guest also said that it was the year before last, and the year before last, the three houses in the east of the city, without pavilions or buildings, have more than doubled now. As the saying goes, 'today is different from the past', I see that the old guest is also a scholar, how can I forget to 'carve a boat for a sword'? β
When the young man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, he never thought that in this Yangzhou territory, a small guy who is a middle-aged person, he also knew "carving a boat for a sword".
"Too expensive, too expensive, don't don't. Besides, the old man also has friends here in Yangzhou. β
When the little guy who made a living heard this, he smiled, put the printing paper back directly, and then made a gesture at the father and son, turned around and went to find the next one.
"This ......"
The young man couldn't cry or laugh, and his father shook his head and said, "I have long heard that Jianghuai is contaminated with the evil spirit of the demon capital, and sure enough, it is true. β
Just mentioning the word Demon Capital made the young man excited, and he hurriedly asked: "My lord, I heard that 'Editor-in-Chief Li' and Zhang Jianghan are old friends, but is there such a thing?" β
"It is true." seemed to be recalling something, and after organizing his thoughts, he said to his son, "In the old years' Zhongyi Society, the person Zhang Liangfeng relied on the most was 'Editor-in-Chief Li'. The rice paper produced by Zhongnanshan in Xijing, and the person who handled it was the 'Editor-in-Chief Li'. β
"'Editor-in-Chief Li' must be Zhang Jianghan's siblings."
"This is not bad, the old man has been with Zou Guogong for many years, Xue Li was still in Chang'an at that time, these two people are looking for a 'knife', and Tai is half looking for an old man. Therefore, the old man knew that Zhang Liangfeng did not have much contact with the eldest son, but the second son and the third son were more in line with Zhang Liangfeng. β
As he was talking, he saw a carriage out of the city gate, and before the father and son could react, they saw the handlebar type shouting at them: "Brother You Shao! Get in the carβ"
The father and son were stunned for a moment, but after a closer look, the father clapped his hands and shouted: "What a Li Fengjie, he actually started to be a driver!" β
"What kind of chauffeur, this is a tribute to the sage of Confucius, and I will make you a 'royal hand'."
"Hahahaha......"
Laughing loudly, Li Feng, who was called Brother You Shao, took his son's hand, came to the carriage, and introduced: "Big brother, this is 'Editor-in-Chief Li'." β
"Ugh! Seen, seen...... The little nephew has seen Li Jiangbei! β
"What Li Jiangbei, I have known you for many years, so there is no need to be like this."
"The little nephew has seen Uncle Shi."
"Ha, what a boy!"
Li Fengjie patted the young man's shoulder, "When Brother You Shao took you to the forage field in the west of the city, you were only so old, I never thought that in the blink of an eye, the smart children of the Shangguan family are now so big." By the way, Brother You Shao, what about Erlang? β
"Tingzhang is still in the capital with her mother. This time, I brought Tingzhi over to see Huaiyang's style. β
"It's good to come, and if you come, you can stay for a long time. I also heard about Brother You Shao. You are a jinshi, don't care about anything. Even if there is no errand in this situation, I am afraid that it will not be possible in the future? He, the king of Wei, presided over a capital city that was upside down, he was really mediocre and incompetent, and he was only worthy of reciting poems with a group of old literary insects. β
In the stunned eyes of the father and son, Li Fengshu said to himself, "I know that Brother You Shao likes to be an official, if you don't dislike it, go to Lao Li in Yangzi County to help." It's not very interesting to stretch out your hands and feet in Yangzhou. β
"Brother Desheng is now Jane in the heart of the emperor."
"What's that?"
Li Fengjie shook his head, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Brother You Shao, if you want to stay in the capital, it's not impossible, but now stay in Yangzhou for a while." Wait for me to write to my brother, and when I get the news, I will inform you again. β
"Yi ...... Appreciate. I'm ashamed, but the Shangguan clan can't be left without me, so I have to work hard. β
"Understand, understand, understand."
Li Fengjie smiled and patted Shangguanyi's shoulder, and then said directly, "Hengzhi, I also want to use your writing now, Brother You Shao, who doesn't know that Shangguanyi's pen is a must?" β
"Oh? What is the stake? β
"It's still all things in the Western Xinjiang, I wanted to tout the eldest grandson Chong, but there was not much ink in my chest and abdomen. Who would have thought that Brother You Shao was coming, he really deserved such a thing. Brother You Shao, help me write an article, the eldest grandson Chong's 'Su Wu on the couch' is not good, how can it be 'Zhenguan Genggong'. β
"Okay, this is easy, and the ceremony will live up to the trust."
"Whatever you want, give money."
When Shangguan Yi heard this, his face suddenly trembled, and he wanted to say it but didn't want to say it.
