readx;?“ But this cabin is so cramped, and there is nothing to hide, how can this work?" Yun Yi was ashamed and annoyed, and stomped his feet and said hatefully: "This boat is too, how could it not take this into account?".

CM "I said Miss, we're going out, do you really think this is at home? Or will it be a little bit, on this big river, you can't always need convenience and have to stop the boat and dock, then it's okay?" Wu Feng was funny and angry, "I said young ladies, we are sneaking in secret, are we focusing on the overall situation, do you want to overcome it for the time being?".

In this case, I am afraid that I can only overcome it temporarily as Wu Feng said, but other things are easy to do, except for Leng Ruoxing and Gu Mingxia, who are still yellow flower girls, if they are in the same cabin, there is not even a curtain of doors, but they want to let them do that kind of shameful thing in front of Wu Feng, but it is difficult for them to suffocate them to make them comply.

Although the waterway from Huanggang to Jiujiang is wide and smooth, but because Huanggang and Jiujiang have in fact belonged to two different spheres of influence, although the Taiping Navy in Jiujiang is not very strong, they rely on the dock base, and have been able to carry out daily patrols and inspections, and the Imperial Navy in Huanggang seems to have no indication to the Jiujiang Taiping Sect Navy that is close at hand, allowing them to crisscross the neighboring mansion, and the two sides maintain a strange state of peace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But this does not mean that the two sides turn a blind eye, the ships going east from Huanggang are not also subject to the inspection of the Jiujiang Taiping Naval Army, and the same is true for the ships going west from Jiujiang, although this kind of inspection is often a formality.

cm saw a few women tidying up in the cabin, Wu Feng came to the bow of the boat alone, the two men were standing at the bow of the boat and looking ahead, while talking, seeing Wu Feng coming out alone, they also smiled and said hello.

cm: "The two of you are quite leisurely, is this waterway safe?" Wu Feng also sat casually on the deck next to him.

cm: "Hehe, this is a strange question, has Ye never walked through this waterway?" a man asked with a smile.

CM "Oh, I've walked before, but I haven't walked this way in a while, so it's pretty stable, right?" replied with a smile on the fly.

Although it is now under the control of the Taiping Army, the Cheng Da General of the Taiping Army seems to be a little different from the Taiping Army in the north, he has not confiscated the property of those landlords, nobles and merchants, and I heard that he still gets along well with them, and even the military discipline of the army under his command is much better than that of the Taiping Army in the north. It turned out that the empire had a lot of centigold and miscellaneous donations in addition to the tariffs, but after the general took control of Jiujiang, only the normal tariffs were retained, and even the centigold and miscellaneous donations were canceled, which was a great news, and the merchants were cheering, and even those of us who had been begging for a living on the water for a long time were stained with a lot of light. The man said with some emotion, "I just don't know how long this general Chengda's policy can last, he really doesn't look like a general of the Taiping Army." ”.

CM man's emotion aroused Wu Feng's great curiosity, this Cheng Dayou has always been one of the focuses of Wu Feng's attention, since the beginning of Lu Long's battle, Wu Feng has been full of interest in this person, and he was able to break through his encirclement and successfully escape at the last moment, which is a big shock in itself, especially when Wu Feng's army has taken the lead. This guy later showed his skills in the Battle of Heshuo, surrounded and annihilated the third and fourth legions of the empire, and laid the foundation for the rule of the Taiping Sect in the Heshuo region. It seems that the rumors that the Taiping army's top brass can no longer control him are not groundless, at least his current policy is very different from the Taiping army's current policy of digging up floating wealth, equalizing the wealth and poverty, and dividing the land in the Heshuo and Beiyuan regions.

cm: "It seems that General Cheng is still popular in Jiujiang." Wu Feng also smiled and touched the situation quietly.

cm" can't be said exactly. Although the merchants and those gentry agreed with his approach, I don't think they necessarily really supported him, after all, our empire is the right master of this land, although these Taiping people took these measures for some reason for a while, but it is difficult to say what they will do later. The poor families in the north began to divide the land and property, but Jiujiang did not move, and the poor people were naturally red-eyed and hated this Cheng Da general. This person's heart depends on whose person's heart it is. "The man is obviously a seasoned old shipwright, and he is quite eloquent, and he speaks of these things in a good way.

Seeing that Wufeng was quite interested in Jiujiang, the boatman glanced at Wufeng and endured it for a while before saying: "If the uncle wants to do some business in Jiujiang, he doesn't have to worry about anything else, but it is not easy to avoid the inspection of the Taiping military tax inspectors. ”.

Seeing that the other party regarded himself as a businessman in the smuggling business, Wu Feng did not say anything, but followed the other party's words and said: "Well, even if this is the case, there is no need to take these risks, these Taiping soldiers can't figure out their rules, if they lose their lives for a small profit, it is not cost-effective." I just don't know what other special rules there are in this Jiujiang Mansion now? Don't let me go to Jiujiang Mansion and I won't be able to get out of it there. ”.

CM "Uncle don't have to worry so much, if you talk about anything else, in fact, this Jiujiang is much better than the situation in other provinces of our five lakes, at least those patrol sergeants will not come to harass these passing ship merchants, and there are many fewer bandits and water bandits who rob houses, hehe, in this Huanggang, Yueyang, Anqing, where will these things not happen?" The boatman pursed his lips and sighed: "It is said that our five lakes are still the land of fish and rice, and the poor have encountered a famine year, and it is not the same as only going to flee and beg, and now it is not easy for anyone to live this day." ”.

The emotion of the boss of the cm boat made Wu Feng a little surprised, he didn't expect that even the situation in the Five Lakes area would be like this, if the fertile land known as the granary of the empire could not even be fed by the people living on it, then how to support the survival of the empire? .

cm: "Boat boss, I don't understand what you say, although I rarely come to these five lakes, but this has always been the granary of our empire, speaking of which, it should be much better than Kansai and the north, how can I listen to you, but it seems that I can't even afford to eat?" Wu Feng asked pretending to be surprised.

cm: "Alas, the uncle is a foreigner, so he probably hasn't come to us for some years." These years can not be compared with the previous years, although the tax is heavy in the past few years, but as long as God opens his eyes, the wind and rain are smooth, the villagers can still get a few surplus grains, but now it is good, the years are not good, either floods or droughts, small disasters continue, big disasters often come, a little savings of the villagers have long been tossed up, can not go on only to sell the land, when the tenants hire farmers, but in the past two years, the north and the south have been in the war, and the big families are also panicking, especially the south of Baling and the Jiujiang have changed their owners, this Huanggang, Yueyang, Anqing, Wen Ning's big families are not afraid, in addition to getting their property and family members to the south or west, the land rent is also soaring, and the water doesn't know what will happen if the Taiping Sect and the barbarians in the south come in, and they don't all want to get two more to live in peace, which is bitter for the villagers. ”.

CM took a breath, and the boat boss continued: "Although our five lakes are a good place to grow crops, there is also a disadvantage, that is, the water is not too much, a few years ago, there was a flood, and many ditches and culverts were washed away, and the officials did not care. You said that if this day goes on like this, there will really be a catastrophe, and you will still have it?".

cm Wufeng was silent, he also knew that the situation in the Five Lakes region had deteriorated in the past few years, and there was no longer the grand scene of the granary of the empire in the past, but when he heard the boss of the ship say this today, he knew that this situation was actually much more serious than he imagined. I know that even in the Five Lakes area, there are many peasant immigrants to the northwest, which was simply unimaginable before, and the gentry and merchants in the Five Lakes area also have a large amount of capital pouring into the northwest, especially in North Luzon, the number of wasteland purchases and reclamation in the south and east of North Luzon has skyrocketed, which is obviously caused by the capital injection of the big landlords and nobles of the Five Lakes, which is also a reflection of these people's disapproval of the empire and the situation of the Five Lakes.

CM The entire Wuhu area has actually shown a kind of hollowing, the gentry and businessmen lack confidence, on the one hand, they have withdrawn and transferred funds and property, on the other hand, they have intensified the oppression of farmers, and the aging and disrepair of water conservancy facilities is the bane of the consequences that may be caused by a catastrophe, the only unlucky ones are only farmers, and if that situation really occurs, I am afraid that the five lakes will immediately become a fire bucket.
