The Middle Route Army led by You Yong and the Eastern Route Army led by Ao Yi will take five days to arrive here at the earliest, and there may not even be time to rest, and the East Route Army will cross the river directly!

But so far, not a single horse road has been paved on the river! Xuanbao does not blame Dingbaizhan for being unfavorable, he knows the difficulty of this task, and the conscription of ships and wind and waves are practical difficulties that cannot be ignored!

However, if Ding Baizhan can't complete the task within the specified time, Xuanbao will also punish him mercilessly! But when he can help, he will not stand idly by.

Xuanbao told Ding Baizhan his thoughts, but he didn't expect Ding Baizhan to say with a bitter face: "The emperor doesn't know, the last general has already sent people to the other side, but as soon as several villages in Linjiang saw us passing, they went home and closed the door, and let the skin of their mouths be worn out, but they didn't come out, and they returned in vain several times!"

It seems that the difficulty here is still beyond Xuanbao's imagination, but at the moment, there is only this method, which can complete this task within the specified time, and you can't give up just because you have eaten a few deflated!

As for the impression of Xuanjun, Jiangnan and Jiangbei are simply heaven and earth! Because of the distance from Kyoto and the fact that the people are familiar with it, they naturally regard Xuanjun as their own and support it very much.

However, across the north bank of the Panlong River, there is not much contact with the south of the Yangtze River, the news is blocked, and it is very close to Kyoto, and the Xuanjun is deliberately portrayed as a bandit and robber who kills people without blinking an eye and does not lose money, so the people are very defensive about the Xuanjun!

On the north bank opposite the lotus ferry is the water village known as the Eighteen Docks, and the eighteen villages have relied on the river for generations to eat, and every family has a boat, and everyone is a good hand in the river! However, because the information was not well-informed, they were deceived by the Yin Dynasty, and they thought that the Xuanjun army was really a group of robbers who saw something to rob, so Ding Baizhan even sent seven or eight groups of lobbyists, but they did not recruit a boat, but almost fought with the people in the village!

Xuanbao already had a plan in his heart, saying that he had to go to the other side of the river, and now everything was centered on the smooth crossing of the river by the army, even if he paid gold and silver to buy, he had to buy a boat!

"You pick a few eloquent ones, come with me to the other side!" Xuan Bao turned his head and confessed to Ding Baizhan, looking at these ships on the river, estimating how many more ships would be able to use.

When Ding Baizhan heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately knelt down in front of Xuanbao and said: "The emperor can't! How can the emperor let the emperor do this little thing himself! Please rest assured that the emperor will complete the task within the time limit, otherwise he is willing to make amends for the emperor's sins!"

"Remember, I Xuanbao wants you soldiers to follow me, not to gamble with your heads at every turn! I want you to live well, and all of you can enjoy all the rivers and mountains that have been fought with our hands when the world is calm!" Xuanbao frowned and looked at Ding Baizhan who was kneeling in front of him.

Ding Baizhan's eyes turned red, and he lowered his head and said, "The last general is guilty! Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this little matter..."

Xuanbao waved his hand and said: "This is not a trivial matter! If you don't run to the other side, you don't know what kind of person my Xuanbao is, and they don't know what kind of army my Xuanbao is! I want to use these eighteen docks as the first stop for the Xuanjun army to enter Jiangbei, which is of far-reaching significance, don't think about it! Do as I say, go and choose a lobbyist, I will set off in half an hour, and come back before dark!"

Hearing Xuanbao say this, Ding Baizhan also understood the emperor's intentions, so he had to agree, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it immediately!"

Xuan Bao walked to the river, stood on a boat, watched someone use a wheelbarrow to pour sand into a boat, and said to Ding Baizhan a little strangely, "What is this?"

Ding Baizhan hurriedly explained: "These ships are of different sizes and have different waterlines. If the disparity is too great, fill it with sand and make it sink and balance it with the other ships!"

I see!Xuan Bao nodded. This method of laying the ship path was learned by him after fighting the Japanese birds, but the Japanese warships were built according to the specifications, and it was easy to find the same ships when laying the way, so it was very easy to build.

However, in this case, it is very cumbersome. Even if most of the ships of the Kiss Legion are captured Bird Boats, they can only build some of them, and the rest will have to be adjusted manually!

"Okay, you are busy with yours, you don't have to accompany me, I'll go around the town, you picked someone to let them go back to the camp, and wait for me at the gate of the camp!" Xuan Bao waved his hand at Ding Baizhan, it could be seen that he was very busy, and many people wanted to discuss things with him along the way, but they were stopped by him with his eyes.

Ding Baizhan was a little hesitant, this emperor came to his territory, once something happened, he couldn't afford to be guilty!

Xuan Bao smiled, turned his head to look at him and said, "What? Are you still afraid that I will be assassinated under the noses of tens of thousands of troops?"

Seeing through his thoughts, Ding Baizhan smiled embarrassedly, thinking about it, it is indeed the case, what assassin who is not long-eyed would be so stupid and dare to be unfavorable to the emperor in front of so many Xuan troops? Besides, he has not seen the emperor's ability, and ordinary characters really can't get close to him!

"Then the emperor is careful, the last general will retreat first!" Ding Baizhan bowed to Xuanbao, Xuanbao nodded, turned around and walked towards the town.

It's not the first time I've come here, the last time I didn't stay in the town for a long time, I couldn't find a place to stay, and I still lived in the suburbs.

Now walking in the town, I still feel that this place is much more deserted than the last time I came, after all, it is just a small town, not as prosperous as Nanping, and most of the people on the street are poor peasants, wearing coarse linen clothes, no silk and satin, but the faces of the people are relaxed and smiling, showing a slight satisfaction in the poverty.

For them, life is hard, there is nothing more comfortable than this, there is nothing more comfortable than this!

This is also a place that is slowly rising, because of the war and once a little deserted ferry, will become more lively with the pacification of the world, maybe soon this lotus ferry will have a town, become a city!

Most of the facades on both sides of the street are closed, and even if they are open, they are not shops like big cities.

It seems that when I first came to Xuanbao, I had already seen that there was no fixed business area here, basically it was a market, and there would be a market every ten days and half a month, and today was not the day to catch the market, so it seemed relatively deserted.

This is the case on the main street, not to mention the side street of the alley next to it! Xuanbao didn't see a few people when he walked around, and occasionally heard some women sitting at the door talking, only to know that the young and strong forces in the town had gone to the river to help, so it seemed that this place was so deserted.

After a while, Xuanbao has a number in his heart about the landform of the entire lotus crossing, there is a lot of room for development here, Xuanbao wants to sit firmly in the capital of Beijing, the lotus ferry, the lotus ferry, these ferries connecting the two sides of the Panlong River must make it prosperous, and the road must be smooth, so that the whole world can be under the control of the Xuanjun!

When I walked back, I was still walking through the alley, and strangely enough, from time to time I encountered a few people carrying wooden purlins and door panels walking out of the gate, ignoring the scolding of the women behind them.

I met another one in front of me, an old man with gray hair, who walked out of a courtyard with a long door panel on his back, followed by a woman with a pale face, grabbed his arm and said, "You still have no end? You have dismantled three door panels, and you have to carry the last one away?"

The old man snorted, and without even looking at the woman, he bowed and walked forward. Seeing that she couldn't stop him, the woman sat down on the ground, clapped her legs and cried: "You ruthless man! You are a robber! I have not given up after you have demolished my house, and you have not even left a single door panel!"

Xuan Bao frowned, walked in front of the old man, blocked his way, and asked him coldly, "Where are you going to carry this door panel?"

The old man looked up and saw that a young junior was blocking in front of him, and after observing his words, he knew that he was not an ordinary person, but he was very raw, and he also frowned and asked him, "Who are you?"

"You don't care who I am, I just ask you, what is the use of demolishing someone's door panel? Don't you even let go of the door panel?" Xuan Bao frowned and looked at the old man, but now looking at him face to face, he found that he only had gray hair and more wrinkles than people of the same age, but it was not the old age he imagined, at most he was in his forties!

When the woman saw that she had a helper, she immediately got up from the ground, took Xuanbao's arm and cried, "Childe, you have to make the decision for me! He took away all the food and drink from my house, and now he wants to take the door panel of my house.

A trace of anger appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he was about to scold when he glared at the woman, but Xuanbao was furious, glaring at the middle-aged man and shouting angrily: "What a bold man! What kind of crime should you be guilty of robbing people's houses in broad daylight? I think you are really tired of doing such evil deeds under the noses of tens of thousands of Xuanjun! Where is the Lotus Crossing Governor County? This aunt, please go to the county government and invite the public to come here, I will take care of this matter!"

The country that was finally laid down was actually wronged by such a group of young people and ruined their reputation, so it's no wonder that Xuanbao is not angry!

This ferry town, this is the hub of transportation, the gathering place of information, one thing, one sentence, after hundreds of thousands of people or even thousands of people preached, I don't know what it has become, if this thing falls in the ears of the people in Jiangbei, I don't know what it will become!

When the woman heard Xuanbao's words, she was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth, and was speechless for a long time. Xuanbao thought she was frightened, and comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll make the decision for you!"

"My lord!" the two men dressed as servants seemed to hear the voice and ran over quickly.

Xuan Bao nodded, and without waiting for the two of them to stop, he said to them: "Where is the magistrate of your lotus crossing? Tell him to come here immediately! I will also ask him, how did he become this parent official! There are still robbers in broad daylight, or is it under the nose of Xuan Jun, is it really bullying Xuan Jun's blindness?"

The two men looked at each other, looked at Xuanbao with their eyes, and then looked at the middle-aged man with the door panel on his back, and one of them frowned and said to Xuanbao: "Who are you? Are you from Xuanjun?"

Before Xuan Bao could speak, the middle-aged man next to him said, "Zhang Feng Wang Hai, what are you doing here?"

The person who asked Xuanbao just now was named Zhang Feng, and he hurriedly arched his hand to him: "My lord, General Ning sent someone to invite your lord to the barracks!"
