"What is Brother Yang looking at?"

Yangzhou, or the current name of Guangling City, in a heavily guarded restaurant, Li Gao asked Yang Feng curiously.

The latter is holding a wine glass, with a strange smile on his face, looking at the bustling streets below, at this time Yangzhou has a population of nearly 500,000, that can definitely be described as bustling, last year's typhoon passed through the light of the capsized merchant ships amounted to more than 1,000, you can imagine how prosperous it is. This city is the center of the Tang Dynasty in the south, where there are not only the Guangling Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Huainan Road, Guangling County, and even the salt and iron transfer envoys, the core of the military, political and financial powers, and the wealth of the entire Huainan Jiangnan is concentrated here, and then transported to Chang'an to maintain the operation of the capital of the Tang Empire.

The rice that Yang Feng ate in Chang'an was transported to Chang'an from here.

"I'm thinking, if one day you set up a shelf there, and then tie these people to it and cut the meat with a knife and sell it for five cents a catty, and the person who was cut is not even dead, and he sees his meat being cut and sold but has no strength to scream, what kind of scene will it be at that time, ah, I forgot to say one more thing, the dog meat sold next to it is fifty cents a catty!"

Yang Feng said indifferently.

As he spoke, it was as if a gust of wind was blowing.

"Yang, Brother Yang, you really know how to laugh!"

Li Gao's face turned white, and he squeezed out a reluctant smile and said.

"Joke? Maybe there will be such a day? ”

Yang Feng said with a wine glass.

After saying that, he drank it all.

Two hundred years later, Yang Xing besieged Yangzhou, Qin Yan Bishi Duo trapped Yangzhou, day and night to search for the residents in the city and put them in the market, cut meat and sell, the sold people were unable to wail to death, Yangzhou City was broken only a few hundred households.

"The troubled times are like this, fortunately, we were born in this prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty!"

Shi Liuhui, governor of Yangzhou, said.

Although Yangzhou has a metropolitan governor's mansion, there is actually no metropolitan governor, or the metropolitan governor is not here, because the metropolitan governors of the metropolitan governors everywhere are actually Li Longji's sons who are led by Yao, and the metropolitan governors of Yangzhou are Li Qi, the king of Yangzhou, but these princes will not go to the station, but the long history will replace them to perform their duties, so the governor of the Yangzhou metropolitan governor's mansion of Sanpin is basically the boss of this Yangzhou, not only the seven state armies of Huainan and the east and west provinces of the south of the Yangtze River under the jurisdiction of the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, It also has a number of functions and powers such as supervising officials in the jurisdiction.

"It's easy for prosperous times to change into troubled times!"

Yang Feng said indifferently.

Immediately after that, his crow mouth was closed, and then he lay there to look at the scenery, and behind him Li Gao quickly changed the topic and studied shipbuilding with Liu Hui and others.

There is, of course, a shipyard here.

And Li Gao's task to go south is to promote Yang Feng's boats on the canal, and the boats built in Yangzhou in the future are in accordance with the boats provided by Yang Feng, of course, Yang Feng does not need to care about how Li Gao works, he is only responsible for providing technical advice to be his consultant, people don't need to ask him, his boats have been tested for thousands of years, and they are the best ships on the canal, whether they are on the Yangtze River, the canal or the Yellow River, they can easily navigate.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty carried the canal, the Bianhe River and the Yellow River route, and finally took the Wei River to Chang'an.

This is the lifeline of Datang.

Later, Li Xilie occupied Bianzhou and cut off the shipping of the Bianhe River, Tang Dezong could not even provide the military rations of his forbidden army, so that the forbidden army was on the verge of mutiny, and later Han Rong transported grain to the north, and the news of the arrival of the fleet in Shaanzhou reached Chang'an, and Tang Dezong hugged his son and cried with excitement.

Therefore, any changes that can help this transportation line, Li Longji will not hesitate to take action.

This line is too important.

Just when Li Gao and others were talking about official business, there was a commotion on the street outside, and then a group of bald heads came from a distance, led by an old bald head with kind eyebrows, constantly greeting the excited crowd on both sides, just like a modern star appearing.

"Who is this?"

Yang Feng asked the Guangling Taishou beside him.

"This is Master Jianzhen!"

Taishou looked down and said with a respectful face.

"Hasn't he gone to the Wa Kingdom yet?"

Yang Feng said unexpectedly.

"General Yang also knows about this? Master Jianzhen wanted to go to the Wa country several times, promote Buddhism and promote the teachings, but has not been able to do so, and the sage wants to preach and teach the Wa people, and does not want it to cross eastward. ”

Taishou said.

"Four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain! Xiao Yan, who starved to death, didn't know if he would go to the Western Heaven Elysium at this time? ”

Yang Feng said sarcastically.

After speaking, he propped up the railing with his hand, jumped up in the stunned gaze of Taishou, jumped directly from the third floor, and suddenly fell in front of Jianzhen wearing his purple eggplant, this old monk's concentration was excellent, but his eyelids rolled, and then returned to normal, and then saluted him and said: "Poor Dao has seen Your Excellency, I don't know what Your Excellency has to teach!" ”

"A certain Yang Feng, the word Fengsheng, a loyal general, a broken leaf guard and a capture envoy, give a purple robe and a gold bag!"

Yang Feng said proudly with his hands behind his back.

"Poor Dao has seen the general!"

Jianzhen saluted again.

Of course, he will not be bluffed by a four-grade loyal general, this old monk was also highly respected in Chang'an back then, he has seen many relatives of the emperor, and in Huainan he is a leader of Buddhism, and there are tens of thousands of disciples and grandchildren, so he will not take a four-grade official seriously.

"I want to help the master cross to the east, I don't know if it's possible?"

Yang Feng suddenly put on a smiling face and said.

"Poor Dao does have this intention, but I don't know if I can withstand the waves at sea when I am old."

Jianzhen said quite surprised.

"This matter is easy, this time with the heir King Cao came to build a new type of sea for the imperial court to supervise, all of them are huge ships that can sail into the open sea and wade into the ocean, such as flat land, the master only needs to wait for a year, he can build a few in advance, and then only need to temporarily transfer one."

Yang Feng said.

"General, can you go to Daming Temple for a while?"

Jianzhen said immediately.

"I'll visit another day!"

Yang Feng said.

That's it, of course, this old monk has to be sent to the Wa Kingdom, not only to the Wa Kingdom, in the future, he and Gao Xianzhi's Tang version of the East India Company will also open up the Wa trade route, this old monk is very respected after arriving in the Wa Kingdom, and it will be very convenient to have him as a middleman This company will carry out trade in the Wa Kingdom, and then there will be more and more Tang merchant ships to the Wa Kingdom, and there will be countless ships and sailors familiar with the sea situation on this voyage, and when the Tang Dynasty conquers the Wa Kingdom, there is no need to worry about shipping.

Yes, he was preparing for the conquest of the Wa Kingdom.

The people of the country would greet Master Jianzhen like a sage, and Master Jianzhen would let the light of the Dharma shine on the country like a sage, and none of them would have thought that the demon would follow this sage to that land in this way.

As for the motivation to conquer the Wa Kingdom......

Isn't that enough, the world's largest silver producer before the discovery of silver in South America and the world's largest gold producer before the discovery of gold in Australia? No matter how much it is not enough, plus the most important source of copper in ancient China, as long as the control of the Wa State, these three currently common precious metals can be continuously mined and smelted, with the backing of the gold, silver and copper mines there, there is a strong backing for playing modern banks and paper money, not to mention that the Wa State will enter the age of firearms in the future, so the Wa State still has a large amount of vital sulfur.

Of course, this will have to be said in the future when he becomes a powerful minister.

Standing on the streets of Yangzhou, looking at Jianzhen in the distance, Yang Feng showed a smile on his face, as if he saw countless slaves of the Japanese Kingdom, under the whip of the Tang colonists, in the gold mountain of Sado Island, the silver mountain of Iwami, and the scene of the copper mountain of Ashio as cattle and horses.

It's definitely a sight!

"Let's go, there's a fight!"

Suddenly, Zhao Qian's shout sounded in his ears.

"Uh, what are you doing again?"

Yang Feng looked at her speechlessly.

After entering Yangzhou City, this little goblin is like crazy, when did she see such a prosperous city when she came out of the ravine in Qianzhou, even Nanping is just a small city at this time, Yangzhou is the first city in the Tang Dynasty, carrying Yang Feng's money bag She will be happy, in fact, since entering the city Yang Feng is still the first time to see her, anyway, there is no need to worry about her safety, she not only has four Anxi Army veterans by her side, but also a group of tribal warriors, her father is married to a full three hundred house slaves.

"Let's go, our people are fighting on the docks!"

Zhao Qian happily pulled him and said.

"Why the fight?"

Yang Feng asked.

"That, that, let's go!"

Zhao Qian pulled him and said.

It's obviously related to her, this little goblin is not Ansheng's, it is estimated that he is causing trouble again, Yang Feng is not interested in caring about the cause, he is bored and he is looking for something! Then he followed Zhao Qian, and soon arrived at the dock outside the city, at this time the dock was already full of people, even Li Xiu was there, she was looking at the crowd with a solemn face, and there was a local official standing next to her, and a strong man in the crowd was fighting with a veteran of the Anxi Army with his bare hands, it was obvious that the veteran of the Anxi Army was not an opponent, he had been beaten to a bruised nose and swollen face, but he was just fighting hard there.

"Interesting!"

Yang Feng said unexpectedly.

Because not only this veteran of the Anxi Army, but also six or seven of his subordinates and Zhao Qian's house slaves in the crowd were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and the strong man was obviously only one person, although he also had scars on his body, but he was not so miserable.

"General Yang!"

Seeing him coming, the official hurried to catch up.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Your family quarreled with a little lady at the dock, and beat the little lady, this person is his guard, so he started with your family, the lady of the Li family said that the people of the Anxi Army will not rely on the official position and solve their own affairs, because they don't use the equipment, they can't do anything big, and the contemptible people don't care, I don't want this guard to be extremely brave, and they are all defeated by them!"

The official said.

Only then did Yang Feng notice that there was a gentle girl standing behind the man, but there was a palm mark on her face.

Yang Feng glared at Zhao Qian.

The little goblin stuck out his tongue and quickly took a step back.

At this time, the veteran of the Anxi Army was also defeated, and walked to Yang Feng with his head down and pleaded guilty, and the man still stood there with pride, looking at Yang Feng's illustrious purple robe without fear, the girl also saw it, and then took a few steps forward to stand beside him, and looked at Yang Feng quietly there, although he was gentle and modest, and his ladylike demeanor was like that, but with an awe-inspiring aura, it could be seen that he was not from an ordinary family.

Yang Feng took a few steps forward.

"This little lady, I apologize to the little lady on behalf of the clumsy Jing, if you need compensation, please speak up."

He said to the girl.

"The general is polite, and that sister is just unintentional."

The girl replied.

"Contemptible Yang Feng, the word Fengsheng, a native of Zheng County, Huayin, don't know the surname of the little lady?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Concubine Xu Yao, from Yuhang County."

The girl said.

"Little lady, what do you want?"

Yang Feng asked.

"General, you and I have never known each other in our lives, this matter is over, please don't go over."

The girl said.

"Well, you can't go, although it was her fault for clumsy Jing to beat you, I have apologized, and you have accepted the apology, but he beat me so many brothers, you can't just leave!"

Yang Feng looked at the man and said.

"General, as a man, his skills are not as good as others, what can he say."

The man said.

"I love to hear this, in fact, I also said this to others, that guy is still lying in bed, but since you beat my brother, then I have to get back this face for my brother, you can rest assured, I took off this purple robe to fight with you, you will leave if you win or lose, but if you lose, after sending this little lady home, you have to go to Chang'an, follow me in the future, if you win, of course, I have nothing to say, this bag of gold cakes is my loss to you."

Yang Feng said with the money bag.

"How does the general want to fight?"

The man said.

"It's very simple, I stand still, just force me to make a move or step with both feet, and you win."

Yang Feng said.

"Isn't the general joking?"

The man said.

"No jokes!"

Yang Feng said.

"Then please advise!"

The man saluted.

The girl quickly stepped aside, and then the people around her also retreated, leaving the middle to the two of them.

"General, it's time to do something!"

The man said.

Yang Feng nodded indifferently.

The man unceremoniously punched him in the chest, Yang Feng dodged sideways and at the same time pushed his right knee up against his chest, the man's left arm was horizontal, but Yang Feng's strength was too great, and he was suddenly pushed away and took a step back.

He stood there and looked at Yang Feng in shock, but then he let out a long roar of surprise, took off his upper clothes and stepped forward again, his fists almost hit an afterimage, and in the blink of an eye, he threw more than a dozen punches at Yang Feng one after another, Yang Feng shook rapidly like a spring that rebounded back, and also avoided all his attacks in a very short time.

The man laughed even happier, and slammed straight into him with a loud roar, just when Yang Feng twisted his body to avoid the moment his right leg swept, Yang Feng's right leg blocked outward at the same time, the man's right leg was forced to land on the ground at the same time, both fists came out, Yang Feng's side of his body was squeezed in between his two fists, and then his shoulder hit his chest, the man grabbed his arms and swept inward, sideways to avoid Yang Feng's shoulder while his right knee went all out.

Yang Feng's left knee was also pushed out, and the two knees collided, and the man immediately flew upside down, and Yang Feng, who broke free of his hands, couldn't help but retreat......

"General, your feet are on the move!"

The girl behind him said happily.
