Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 103: The Little Incident of Going North
Princess Xunyang took advantage of her free time to come to Dantu to pick out some silk for herself, but when she arrived, she heard that "Xia Daosheng came from afar to give Ye Liangchen a big beating", so Princess Xunyang didn't even have time to buy silk and rushed all the way to the county government office.

"Ye Lang~"

When she saw Ye Liangchen, who looked haggard, she was also shocked by his haggard appearance. She quickly walked up to him and sat beside him. Before she could ask him anything, she heard Chenzi speak: "Expand shipping... shipbuilding..."

Seeing his stupid and mad attitude, Princess Xunyang was frightened and quickly shook Ye Liangchen: "Ye Lang, don't scare me..."

"He's right! Shipping is the top priority. Dantu has an outlet but no seagoing ships! I want to build seagoing ships! I want shipping!"

"Okay, okay, let's do shipping and build ships... calm down!"

Princess Xunyang was now extremely worried. Seeing Ye Liangchen acting like a madman, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. Although she really didn't understand why they had to build ships and start sea transportation, the problem was that Ye Liangchen kept muttering that it was not right, so she could only follow his instructions.

But seeing him like that, he must have been very angry with Xia Daosheng. That damn guy really relied on his talent to do whatever he wanted. Did he really think that no one in this world could control him?

"Ye Lang, don't worry. I will go back and tell my father to punish Xia Daosheng."

"Punish? What can we punish him with? Hahaha, that's really funny... punish. He is now a favorite of Prince Teng, how can you punish him?" Ye Liangchen felt sick when he heard the princess' perfunctory words, and even said without caring about his manners: "No one can punish him, not even Your Majesty, he is so rampant! How can you punish a lunatic!?"

Seeing Ye Liangchen's look, Princess Xunyang was speechless. She just sat there holding his arm and comforting him gently.

"I want silver, lots and lots of silver!"

Ye Liangchen suddenly shouted, then stood up, broke free from Princess Xunyang's hand and ran out. Princess Xunyang's expression gradually became aggrieved, but she finally ran out with him.

"Speaking of which, Ye Liangchen is also pitiful. As a top scholar, he should have started as a fifth-rank editor, but now he has ended up as a seventh-rank county magistrate."

On the ship, Miss Tang sat there looking at the endless sea. Although the coastline was not far away, she could still feel endless loneliness and emptiness when she turned her head. They would have to stay on the ship for more than ten days, and they would go crazy if they didn't have someone to chat with.

"It seems that my Tang Bao really doesn't understand officialdom." Xia Lin leaned back in the chair with his head raised, his feet resting on the side of the boat, basking in the sun and swaying gently with the swaying of the boat. "What is a fifth-rank editor? Let alone a fifth-rank editor, even if he is a fourth-rank scholar, what can he do? Old Guo is a third-rank official. He dared to fuck Gao Shilian's mother directly in the court, and then he was fined three months' salary. Gao Shilian couldn't even fart, and he couldn't do anything to Old Guo. When the imperial power was not centralized, the officials who were sent out had the best life, such as the seventh-rank county magistrate Baili Hou. When the imperial power was centralized, the officials in the capital were powerful, but no matter how powerful the officials in the capital were, as long as the emperor was not so incompetent, they could basically not touch those with military power."

Miss Tang pursed her lips and said, "You officials are really cumbersome."

"Let me tell you a story about the twelve gold medals."

Miss Tang perked up when she heard this. In the past, when she was doing business, the days on the road were extremely boring and she could only rely on the scenery and imagination to get by. But this time, going out with Daosheng was completely different. He seemed to have countless stories in his mind, but he was a bad person. At night, he would either talk about ghosts and monsters, or about bed, such as mountain ghosts, painted skins, and Jinlian and Daiyu. People were scared and ashamed, but could not help wanting to listen to him continue.

"Marshal Yue whispered something to the Geng brothers, which was: A tiger sits in the deep forest, and in an instant the river turns upside down; a bee blows three times, and in an instant the fire and smoke fly. It is exactly: The general's three arrows will conquer the Tianshan Mountains, and the Pixiu will succeed in one battle. I don't know what Marshal Yue said, and I will find out next time!"

Just as she was listening to this thrilling story, Miss Tang was concentrating on hearing the words "next chapter", which made her feel uncomfortable all over. She looked at Xia Lin with eyes full of the words "hurry up for more".

"Let me drink some water. My mouth is dry."

When Xia Lin took a sip of tea, he heard Miss Tang say, "Which dynasty is this story from? How come I have never heard of it? It's about the Jin and Liao peoples, but it's thrilling and exciting. I want to hear more. How come you, a stinky scholar, have so many stories in your mind?"

"I just guess when I have nothing to do." Xia Lin leaned over and swung his feet: "Do you want to listen?"

"miss you!"

Xia Lin chuckled and pointed at his face: "Then Tang Bao has to give some benefits."

Miss Tang reached out and pinched his face: "Is that enough? If not, there's more."

Xia Lin was pinched so hard that he cried out in pain, and begged for mercy: "Enough, enough... Dear sister, please let me go first. I make a living by my face."

Seeing him like that was quite funny, Miss Tang sneered and let go of his hand: "You still rely on your face to make a living, aren't you ashamed?"

"I didn't take the imperial examination, but if I were to take it, I would definitely get the third place."

"Hmm?" Miss Tang was puzzled: "Why is it the third one?" "The first one is the top scholar, the second one is the second scholar, and the third one is the third scholar. Find a different one among these three."

"Second place, it's two words."

Xia Lin nodded and said, "Yes, it's the runner-up. The tragedy of the runner-up is that everyone knows the No. 1, but no one knows the runner-up. But the third place winner is different. A third place winner must not only be talented, but also good-looking. I tell you, the value of this third place winner is no less than that of the No. 1. If Lao Zhang had not been implicated in the fraud case, he would have been at least a third place winner."

Miss Tang nodded: "I see, no wonder I heard so many people are vying for the title of Tanhua Lang, it turns out they are all for the reputation of being both talented and handsome. The stinky scholar is really disgusting."

"Hey! Again?"

"You are not a scholar, you are a ruffian, a bad seed, a bastard!"

Miss Tang seemed to be scolding, but in fact, she was just acting like a spoiled child. Xia Lin went up to grab her, but she dodged him. Then the two of them ran around and played on the boat, one in front and the other behind.

Miss Tang, the noble and cold head of the family, is only nineteen years old. Even the most repressed nature will eventually break out...

As the ship sailed north, we could clearly feel the cold weather. When we woke up and walked out of the cabin, we found that there was frost on the deck.

This was a cold wave, the sea was foggy, and Miss Tang stood at the stern looking up at the sail. Xia Lin walked up to her and put his coat on her: "Tang Bao, what are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking if the boat was faster, we could save more money. That day you told me the story of the banana leaf fan. I wish I had that banana leaf fan too. I could bring the boat to the shore with just one breath."

Xia Lin did not interrupt her fantasy, but stood by and said: "Why don't you imagine yourself as a female monkey, and travel a great distance with one somersault."

"You are the monkey!"

Xia Lin whimpered, jumped onto the side of the ship to look out, and then quickly climbed up the mast: "Ape God, start!"

"Get down quickly, it's going to be bumpy ahead, and falling down could be fatal!"

Just as they were about to reach Tanggukou, the weather suddenly changed. It began to snow lightly, and the temperature began to drop rapidly after the sun disappeared.

"The weather this year is a little strange." Xia Lin climbed down from the mast: "It's only been a few months and it's already this cold."

"Well, it's a little strange. It's not even October yet."

It turned out that Xia Lin's bad luck was indeed effective. The temperature dropped to around minus 15 degrees Celsius that night, and heavy snow fell from the sky, freezing them in the port.

It was impossible to unload the cargo if the snow didn't stop, but it looked like it would take three to five days. Looking at the gloomy weather and the misty snow, Miss Tang was really anxious, but Xia Lin was very calm. He leaned against the hatch and said with a smile, "Can you get some food?"

"What are you going to eat? I'm so anxious. I don't know how long it will take in this weather, and you still have the mind to eat..."

Xia Lin rubbed his nose and said, "It's just a small problem. We can just celebrate the New Year on the boat."

Miss Tang turned around and walked over quickly to cover Xia Lin's mouth. "Don't talk nonsense on the ship. If the ship god really agrees, then we may really have to spend the New Year on the ship this year. Quick, write a few letters while you can still send them back. I'll hire a courier to take the letters back."

Xia Lin said "oh" and started writing four letters. One was to Chun Tao, telling her not to worry. One was to Tuoba Qian, telling her not to worry. One was to Guo Dad, telling her not to worry. One was to Lao Zhang, asking him to prepare for the ghostwriting test after the new year and to be careful to prevent anyone from messing with him. He also asked him to go to Fuliang Academy to get information when he had nothing to do to see how the students there were preparing, to pay attention to the recent policy changes, and to urge Lao Zhang to find a woman quickly, so that Xia Lin would not die without a grandson...

Lao Zhang's letters alone were worth twice as much as the other three letters combined. Xia Lin even gave Lao Zhang a prediction for the topic in them. He didn't even take such care of his own academy.

However, this also fully demonstrates his trust in the four giants of Fuliang Academy...

What was Xia Lin's son doing at this moment? He asked people everywhere to find out which ship had the best technology, and the information he got was Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and Jiujiang.

Jiujiang? Ye Liangchen was a little confused when he heard the news. When did Jiujiang build seagoing ships?
