Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2689
Fang Jun once traveled to Xi'an, and he would not miss such scenic spots as "the distinction between Wei and Wei is clear". Where the two rivers meet, what you see is that the Wei River is turbid than the Jing River.

"Modern Chinese Dictionary" also interprets the idiom "Jing and Wei are distinct" as: "The Jing River is clear, the Wei River is turbid, and when the Jing River flows into the Wei River, it is clear and turbid."

However, "Kong Yingda Shu" once said: "It is said that the Jingshui is clear as the Weishui, so we see that the Jingshui is turbid."

In Western Jin Dynasty Pan Yue's "Xizheng Fu": "In the north there is Qing Wei Zhuo Jing, and Lanchi Zhou Qu", which has been called Jing Zhuo Wei Qing.In Shen Yue's "Bayong Poems" in the Qiliang period of the Southern Dynasties: "Don't be in the Zhuohe River, love the Hengqiao in the Qingwei." Wait.

In the works of Du Fu, Du Mu and others in the Tang Dynasty, it was also called "Zhuojing" or "Qingwei".

In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was also called "Qingwei" in Lu You's poems...

This is obviously not because the words of the old man were wrong, because it is still possible for one or two people to be wrong, but it is naturally unreasonable for so many writers to be "wrong".

But Fang Jun's eyes are not blind...

Then there is only one possibility, that is, the Jingshui and Weishui have undergone earth-shaking changes in the past thousand years, which has caused the Weishui to become more turbid, which makes the originally "turbid Jingshui" appear clear instead.

Some people even speculate that due to geological changes in the Guanzhong area, the water of these two rivers may have been "almost easily turbid" in the past thousand years...

……

The fleet sailed past the confluence of the two rivers, and the river suddenly opened up. The white sails on the boat were raised and filled with the river wind, and the speed of the boat suddenly increased. Many heavy and slow cargo ships are left behind.

Li Tai couldn't help sighing: "This boat travels on the water like a galloping horse. I heard it was also built by Erlang?"

Although Fang Jun and Du He are all "Erlang" here, whenever people don't use their surnames but only call "Erlang", they are calling Fang Jun, which has been "conventional", and even Du He himself has no objection, after all In terms of power and status, he is indeed far inferior to Fang Jun.

Fang Jun said modestly: "What is the virtue of this humble minister? They are all designed and manufactured by the craftsmen of the Jiangnan Shipyard. At best, this humble minister just raised some opinions. But His Highness knows the goods. Although these ships are quite different from sea-going ships , but it is also quite different from the current inland river boats. It has a heavier load, faster speed, and more stable driving. With a little modification, it can become an extremely luxurious building boat. His Majesty once intentionally modified several boats for him to travel around. Why don't Your Highness buy a few more ships? Don't worry, the Jiangnan shipyard is the property of Weichen and Hejian County King. Your Highness will buy ships at a huge discount, which will make you more valuable."

Li Tai laughed angrily: "Mother! The sales are all sold to the king? It's not impossible. I will get ten or eight ships and send them to the king's mansion later, but the money is owed first, and I will wait until the king's hand." If you have more money, let’s settle together.”

Fang Jun said awkwardly: "I can't bear the small profits... By the way, when you established the 'Datang Culture Promotion Association', in order to communicate with the world's waterway stations, Weichen has already donated a batch of dozens of Ship, you haven't paid a penny."

The foundation of the "Datang Culture Promotion Association" is the post stations all over the country, and from this as a node, it radiates to the state capitals all over the world.There are many waterway stations among them. For the convenience of transportation, Li Tai forcibly picked out dozens of boats from Fang Jun and Li Xiaogong. Miser" Li Xiaogong felt distressed enough.

Li Tai said disapprovingly: "How do those sampans compare with this class of warships? Dozens of them together are nothing more than one hundred and eighty thousand pieces. What do you, the 'God of Wealth', care about?" This warship has superior performance, and this king really likes it."

He is now in charge of the entire "Datang Culture Promotion Association", and has opened many county schools and township schools in various prefectures and counties around the world. The site selection, construction, teachers, etc. of each school cost a lot of money. 20 to 20, although most of the money and food came from "begging", but the amount passed on was too large, which improved his vision, and he no longer took the money of more than [-] to [-] as a serious matter.

Fang Jun didn't say a word, but shook his head like a rattle.

Du He stood blankly aside, wanting to arrange flowers but couldn't find a chance.

I think he is also a child of a family at any rate, and his father was once the chief assistant, but he usually thinks that he is very rich if he has tens of thousands of dollars in his hand. It is often only tens of thousands of dollars to buy a house. How could he answer tens of thousands of words?

My heart is both depressed and discouraged, the gap is a bit big...

However, he has become more determined to follow this group of people. Compared with the Guanlong nobles who claim to be deeply rooted, these people are obviously more energetic.

The cook in the cabin was already preparing lunch, the fleet galloped all the way, and soon arrived at the place where it merged into the Yellow River, the fleet gradually slowed down.

The Yellow River roars all the way from the north, and here comes a big turning point, turning eastward, making the river channel here wide, but the current is fast.

Facing the Guanshan Mountain from the south of the Yellow River, the towers of Tongguan are indistinct. On the last section of the waterway where the Weishui River enters the Yellow River, there is a river barrier to search for ships traveling to and from the Weishui River to ensure the safety of Guanzhong. The narrow river course is densely packed along the right bank. There are ships waiting to cross the border.

Under the envy and amazement of these ships, the navy fleet went straight forward, before arriving at the barrier.

Several huge large-scale boats were parked on the river, and countless small boats shuttled back and forth in the river. Officials in soap-colored official uniforms on board were shouting and shouting, busy checking the passing ships, and saw a group of warships with pointed white sails. As they approached, they didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly separated a few small boats and let them go after going forward for inspection, but they were stopped by the semaphore of the red and green bright flags on the upper boats.

The official stood on the boat with a puzzled look on his face, the guard actually wanted to check it himself?
It seems that this warship is carrying a big man...

The fleet slowly approached the checkpoint, lowered the sails, lowered the anchor, and the ship stopped steadily. After a while, an official ship in the distance approached and came up close. A group of people stood on the deck and faced Looking around here, a small official pulled out the springboard and put it on the side of the warship, intending to board the ship for inspection.

Fang Jun and Li Tai also walked onto the deck, followed by Du He to watch the excitement, and several princesses looked out with great interest in the cockpit.

On the deck, soldiers from the Navy and the Right Guards were already waiting in battle with their helmets and armor on. Seeing Fang Jun waving his hands, several people rushed forward quickly, with their hands on the diving board, and their arms competed fiercely. Lifting the diving board down, the gangsters were already climbing towards this side on the diving board, only halfway up, one end of the diving board was lifted, and they fell straight into the river, the little officials didn't have time to react, "Plop, plop, plop, plop "The dumplings generally fell into the river, screaming and thumping endlessly.

Fortunately, since they are officials on the river, they all know how to swim, so there is no danger of drowning...

However, this action caused an uproar among the ships docked on the shore waiting to pass the customs. In an instant, almost everyone rushed onto the deck, looking excitedly at this side.

This Tongguan waterway has always been called "Ghost Gate Pass", not because it is so dangerous, but because several Tongguan guards are masters who do not enter the oil and salt, and the interrogation is extremely strict, no matter which company you are or what big people are behind it Support, as long as the goods transported and sold are slightly out of range, you will be fined and confiscated, or you will be directly imprisoned without any sympathy.

It seems that there is no one who dares to throw the officials who boarded the boat for inspection directly into the water.

Most sailors sail in the East China Sea, and merchant ships in inland rivers are hardly seen, so they feel very strange to the dragon flag hanging above the bed, but after all, there are people who know the goods, excitedly shouting: "It's a navy, Royal Navy!"

"Isn't that right? Look at the one standing on the boat, isn't that Fang Erlang?"

Fang Jun is famous all over the world. These merchants have been in and out of Guanzhong all year round. Many people have seen Fang Jun before. At this time, people shouted loudly. When they looked closely, they really looked like...

Then someone took pleasure in other people's misfortune: "Haha, mother! These Tongguan guards are all so reckless, and they are usually extremely arrogant. Today, it is considered that they have met the head of the bar? If you dare to treat Fang Er as you did to us Overbearing, I'm afraid it will break a big tooth!"

Putting it on here, Li Tai frowned and said: "It's just an inspection according to the law, why bother to get angry?"

I was a little puzzled by Fang Jun's overreaction.

Fang Jun stood on the ship's side, blocked by a few personal soldiers in front of him, and shouted at the approaching official ship: "Who is the old man?"

A general on the official boat put his hand on his waist saber, stood upright, and responded loudly: "This is the general guarding Tongguan, Qiu Yingqi!"

Fang Jun then turned his head to Li Tainu and said, "Hey, the enemy is coming."

Li Tai frowned tightly, a member of the Qiu family?
That's really Fang Jun's opponent...
