Daming heir

Chapter 505
Zhu Yunwen silently firmed up his thoughts in his heart.

It's just that a wave of worry soon arose.

What if the youngest guy doesn't send someone to find him?Or maybe he sent out all idiots, what should I do if I can't find myself?
I should find an opportunity to send my message out.

In an instant, Zhu Yunqi had the idea of ​​creating opportunities by himself.

In just an instant, his face darkened.

Among this gang of thieves, Qiuniang was the only one beside him, and all the people he could get in touch with were from the White Lotus Sect, so he had no chance to send the news out.

Qiuniang sat beside her, lowering her head to peel a bright yellow and orange persimmon.

The fresh and tender flesh was exposed, and Qiuniang showed a smile on her face, and sent the persimmons to Zhu Yunqi.

"Erlang, eat a persimmon."

Zhu Yunwen looked at the persimmon in front of him, his eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his face: "I thought of it!"

Qiuniang blinked blankly and asked, "What did Erlang think of?"

Zhu Yunwen shook his head.

This thing still needs to find a proper time to do it.

He twisted his waist and started from the soft couch, took the persimmon that Qiu Niang had peeled for himself: "You rest for a while, I'll go outside on the deck to blow some air."

Qiuniang nodded, turned around and took a gray-blue cloak from the side and tied it on Zhu Yunqi's shoulders.

"It's windy outside, Erlang don't want to catch cold."

With a smile on the corner of Zhu Yunwen's mouth, he patted the back of Qiuniang's hand: "Understood."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and gnawed two mouthfuls of persimmons, and by the time he stepped out of the cabin door, a whole persimmon had already been sucked into his stomach.

Standing at the cabin door, Zhu Yunwen held the persimmon skin and threw it away.

The orange-red persimmon skin drew a parabola in his line of sight and disappeared below the deck beneath his feet.

Not long after, there was a crash from below the deck.

Zhu Yunqi had also reached the deck railing, and walked along the aisle on one side to the bow.

A commercial flag with the word "Jia" is hung on the bow mast.

A small merchant ship with hundreds of materials, there is not much cargo under the cabin, and the draft is not too deep.

However, Zhu Yunqi could tell that this ship was also built by Longjiang Shipyard.The sample preparation on the ship reveals the fixed style of the official ship of the Longjiang Shipyard everywhere.

Zhu Yunxuan quickly walked to the bow of the boat, holding on to the railing with both hands, looking at the lively and crowded water ahead.

It is now late autumn, and there are more merchant ships traveling on the canal than usual.

At this time of year, there are not many days before winter, and the south is not bad, but the temperature in the north has already begun to cool down.In addition to the winter, it will be the end of the year.

Most people from all over the world can only rest peacefully for a while during this season.

For the people of the Central Plains, celebrating the New Year is always a custom that is hard to get rid of.

It is precisely because of this that there will be more merchant ships on the canal that are full of goods from all over the world. These merchants will send the last batch of goods to the destination before the northern river is frozen, earning enough for the last day of the year. A sum of money, or go home to celebrate the new year.

On both sides of the canal, there will soon be a canal station belonging to the yamen of the transshipment envoy, firstly to check suspicious ships on the canal, and secondly to ensure the safety of the canal.

The places where these canals are located sometimes gradually evolve into small markets.Although there may not be a pier on the canal, it can also allow ships to dock and go ashore to buy something that is in short supply.

On the surface of the water, the local government and the official fast boats of the transfer department moved faster than the merchant ships, maintaining the smooth flow of the canal, the artery of the empire.

Roads, waterways, and transportation determine the speed at which national wealth moves.

Looking at the busy canal in front of him, which generates countless values ​​at every moment, Zhu Yunwen suddenly thought of an article he read in the court newspaper not long ago.

The article is about the influence of official roads, waterways, sea and land on the court and the world.

At that time, Zhu Yunqi didn't feel much influence.

No matter what the goods are, they will eventually reach a place.

It's just that now seeing such a busy canal with merchant ships coming and going, Zhu Yunqi felt a little different.

The relationship between transportation and economy seems to be far closer than I thought in the past.

Therefore, this is why the imperial court began to build that new type of cement road.

I heard that the imperial court is still researching a faster freight car, which can pull more goods.

The third child is really doing practical things one by one.

Zhu Yunwen sighed in his heart.

"Young Master Zhu is standing here, looking at the canal, what are you thinking?"

Liu Zongsheng's voice came from behind, and he was somewhat curious.

Zhu Yunwen immediately turned around, bowed his hands and said, "The Taibao."

"I have told Mr. Zhu many times that you and I don't have to worry about these common courtesy. Although you and I are very different in age, we share the same ambitions. How about calling me brother?"

With a smile on his face, Liu Zongsheng also walked to the bow with one hand behind his back, and patted the other hand on the railing.

With a smile on his face, Zhu Yunwen nodded and said softly: "Mr. Liu is a man of great ambition, how dare Yunwen dare to be compared with his peers."

Even if he bluffed the anti-thief leader and could attract the other party to want to be his brother, Zhu Yunxuan would never dare to take it seriously.

Liu Zongsheng didn't force it, but the more Zhu Yunwen knew the rules, the more he valued them.

He was also looking at the busy canal, and said here: "What was Mr. Zhu thinking about before? But what I'm waiting for?"

"the way!"

Zhu Yunwen waved his finger to the river at the bow of the boat, and said, "I was watching the busy scene of merchant ships on the canal before, and I thought of the situation in Shanxi Province. I want Mr. Liu to pay more attention."

"the way?"

Liu Zongsheng frowned slightly, showing doubts in his eyes: "Mr. Zhu, can you release one or two for me?"

He can expect to get more ideas from different angles from Zhu Yunqi.

At the same time, Liu Zongsheng had to lament that the education of the emperor's family is really incomparable to that of ordinary people.

Zhu Yunqi was used to such conversations.

Fortunately, he didn't do much other things in Fengyang City these years, but he must read the palace newspaper of the imperial court every now and then.Even after staying in Fengyang City for a year, he could even get the newspapers published by the Book and Newspaper Bureau that Xie Jin got.

Whether it is Dibao or Wenbao, these years have allowed me to master a lot of things about the third child.

That's why.

Only then can I gain more trust and respect from Liu Zongsheng, the anti-thief leader, time and time again.

Zhu Yunwen's eyes sank, revealing the calmness and contemplation that would only be revealed in every conversation in the past.

"Mr. Liu, we can now compare the world to a person, a giant."

Compare the world to a person.

Liu Zongsheng frowned slightly.

This is the first time I have heard such a statement.

The curiosity in his heart suddenly became stronger.

Zhu Yunxuan continued: "If the world is a person, then these official channels and waterways can be regarded as the blood vessels in this person's body. If the blood vessels are blocked, this person will inevitably get sick and have physical problems.

Only by ensuring the smooth flow of these blood vessels can the people, goods, soldiers and horses walking on the road go where they should go in time. "

"It's natural."

Liu Zongsheng responded.

However, Zhu Yunwen changed his mouth at this time: "However, from what I see now, Shanxi Road is a heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney that is about to be blocked! If it is not handled properly, Mr. It's a failure!"

Zhu Yunwen was the first to win people, and then shocked Liu Zongsheng.

Sure enough, there was a sharp edge in Liu Zongsheng's eyes.

His voice also became dignified: "Young Master Zhu! Please explain the truth in detail!"

Zhu Yunwen shook his shoulders and looked at Liu Zongsheng: "Mr. Liu, we all know that Shanxi Road runs from north to south, the land is long and narrow, the high loess slope on the west side blocks the road to the west, and the Taihang Mountains stretch on the east side.

Two mountains sandwich a river, the terrain is extremely dangerous, and a river in the middle flows into the Yellow River.

With such terrain, no matter entering or exiting the Shanxi Road, there are only a few passes for us to use.

Originally, I saw the situation in Shanxi Road, and the various passes could be used to stop the imperial army from invading.However, the imperial court can also garrison troops with Tongguan, Huaiqing Mansion, Zhending Mansion, and Baoding Mansion, which can block our way to the south and east of Shanxi Road!
As for the northern end, the gentleman also knows that it is Datong Mansion, the capital of Shanxi Province.It is one of the important towns on the nine borders of the imperial court, and has always been under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.I'm afraid we are in Datong Mansion, and we don't have much strength to borrow.

In this way, my way of entering and exiting was completely cut off by the court. "

Liu Zongsheng's face suddenly turned ugly.

What is beneficial to Shanxi Road will also be used by the Ming court.

As long as both ends of Shanxi Road, which runs north-south, are blocked by the imperial court, it is possible for the imperial court to surround and block Shanxi Road.

Liu Zongsheng said in a deep voice, "Young Master Zhu!"

Zhu Yunwen looked up.

Liu Zongsheng's expression was solemn: "I also ask Mr. Zhu to solve this dilemma!"

Zhu Yunwen was silent for a moment.

When Liu Zongsheng thought that this would be a dead end.

Zhu Yunwen squeezed the time, nodded and said: "Please allow me to think about it again, sir."

Liu Zongsheng nodded quickly: "Young Master Zhu, just think about it! Think carefully!"

The reason why Shengjiao went to Shanxi Road was for those Shanxi businessmen who were wealthy and rival countries, and for those remnants of the Yuan Dynasty outside the pass.

Shanxi Road is going anyway.

This dilemma must be solved no matter what.

Zhu Yunwen pondered for a long time.

In fact, the life and death of these rebels has nothing to do with them.However, in order to lay eggs through the shell and bring Qiuniang back to the sky, the most important thing for her family is to continue to make amends with these rebels.

When Zhu Yunwen pinched the time and calculated that Liu Zongsheng was about to wait in his heart, he just said, "Pingyang Mansion!"

After waiting for a long time, Liu Zongsheng, who got the place name in Shanxi Province, couldn't help frowning: "Pingyang Mansion?"

"Yes!" Zhu Yunwen nodded in a deep voice: "Pingyang Mansion! If Mr. Liu wants to cause trouble on Shanxi Road, he must control Pingyang Mansion as soon as possible! At that time, no matter whether it is crossing the river to enter Guanzhong, or going up Hetao along Hebei, it will be difficult for him to control Pingyang Mansion immediately." It can be dealt with calmly.”

Liu Zongsheng frowned and didn't speak. He was trying to recall the topography of Shanxi Road, but he couldn't go into details.

As for Kanyu.

At this time, such things as Kanyu have always been available only to the imperial court and the government.Ordinary people can't get these things at all, let alone the imperial rebels like myself.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Liu Zongsheng, knowing that the other party didn't know the terrain of Pingyang Mansion on Shanxi Road, and he didn't know how to take the route he said to enter Guanzhong and go north to Hetao.

He looked around and took a torch that was burned out last night from the side.

Zhu Yunwen took the torch, pointed the dark end at the splint, and began to draw the terrain of Shanxi Road in front of Liu Zongsheng's eyes.

At the beginning of the first day of the new year, Liu Zongsheng didn't know what Zhu Yunqi, who was holding a torch in his hand, was doing.

But when the crooked lines were connected together, Liu Zongsheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

This is the terrain of Shanxi Road!

Liu Zongsheng's eyes were shining, and he couldn't help looking at Zhu Yunqi who was bending over and bowing his head, continuing to draw the terrain of Shanxi Road.

I really found a treasure this time.

Zhu Chongba is really old, and he can depose even such a civil and military emperor and grandson.

It's time for Daming to be replaced by himself!
Under the excited gaze of Liu Zongsheng, Zhu Yunqi outlined the terrain of the entire Shanxi Road with little effort.

On the deck, the pitch-black carbon ink outlines the north-south terrain of Shanxi Road, where two mountains sandwich a river.

Mountains and rivers, state capitals and cities, official roads and post roads, and guard passes are almost all outlined on the plywood by him in detail.

"Mr. Liu, what you see before you is Shanxi Road."

Zhu Yunwen introduced it calmly.

Thanks third.

If it hadn't been for the opportunity he had sought to get out of the palace and learn military affairs from Cao Guogong.In order to be able to suppress him, I made a lot of troubles in the world, and all I did was to try to suppress him in military matters.

Although in the end he did not beat the third child.

However, these things that I thought were useless at the beginning, I didn't expect that they still played a role.

Liu Zongsheng suppressed the shock in his heart, slowly squatted down, and got closer to check the terrain of Shanxi Road depicted by Zhu Yunqi.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yunqi also paused, holding the torch in his hand and pointing at several places.

"Mr. Liu, this is Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi Province. From here, you can go north to Taiyuan Mansion, and cross the river to the south to enter Henan or Guanzhong.

Entering Henan, you need to beware of imperial soldiers and horses in Shanzhou.Entering the Guanzhong, you can cross the river from Puzhou City, seize the Daochaoyi City in Shaanxi, and then seize the Tongzhou City, and you will have a foothold.

If the imperial court deploys a large army in this place going south, we can also go up Hebei from Pingyang Mansion at that time.Go to Ronghe, Hejin, Jizhou, Yonghe, Shilou, Yongningzhou, Linxian, and then go west to Hetao. "

"Young Master Zhu's great talent is a blessing to the Holy Cult!"

Liu Zongsheng turned his head, looked at Zhu Yunqi, who was beside him with a calm face, and praised him from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Yunwen stood up, bowed his hands and said, "Mr. Liu won't give up on Yunwen. What I have learned in my life, I only hope to help him achieve great success!"

Liu Zongsheng nodded, and took a deep look at the topographical map of Shanxi Road outlined by Zhu Yunqi on the ground.

He took a deep breath, clapped his hands on his knees and stood up.

He stared solemnly at the smiling Zhu Yunqi.

"If I start an incident, sir must be the No. [-] military adviser of my Holy Cult, just like the Marquis Wu was to Liu Bei in the late Western Han Dynasty!"

Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly.

It seems that I have already gained the trust of Liu's anti-thief.

He nodded slightly: "Thank you Mr. Yun for your appreciation."

Liu Zongsheng laughed heartily and loudly: "Military teacher! Tell me again, what should I do first when I go to Shanxi Road?"
