Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Fang Jun once traveled to Xi'an, and he would not miss sights such as "Jing and Wei are distinct". Where the two rivers meet, what you see is that the Wei River is turbider than the Jing River.

    "Modern Chinese Dictionary" also explains the idiom "Jing and Wei are distinct" as: "The water of the Jing River is clear, and the water of the Wei River is muddy. When the Jing River flows into the Wei River, it is clear and not muddy."

    However, "Kong Yingda Shu" once said: "The Jing water is said to be clear while the Wei water is clear, so the Jing water is turbid."

    "Ode to the Western Expedition" by Pan Yue of the Western Jin Dynasty: "In the north there are clear, turbid and turbid Jing, and Lanchi Zhouqu", which is already said to be Jing, turbid and turbid.  In Shen Yue's "Eight Poems" written in the Qi and Liang Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties: "Farewell to the North Mang in the Zhuo River, and love the Hengqiao in the Qing Wei." Ren Fang also wrote a poem, "I have Jing and Wei, but I am not Yang Yang in the clear."  wait.

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

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

    This is obviously not because the words of the old friend are wrong, because it is possible that one or two people are wrong, but so many literary giants are all "wrong", which naturally cannot be justified.

    But Fang Jun¡¯s eyes are not blind either¡­

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

    Some people even speculate that due to geological changes in the Guanzhong area, the water of these two rivers may have become "severely turbid" over the past millennium

    ¡­¡­

    The fleet passed the intersection of the two rivers, and the river suddenly opened up. The white sails on the ship were raised and filled with the river wind. The ship's speed suddenly increased. The pointed bow broke through the river water and cut through the waves, as if flying on the water.  Leaving many heavy and slow cargo ships behind.

    Li Tai couldn't help but sigh: "This boat sails on the water as fast as a galloping horse. I heard that it was also built by Erlang?"

    Although Fang Jun and Du He are both "Erlang" here, whenever everyone calls them "Erlang" without using their surname, they are referring to Fang Jun. This has become a "convention". 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: "How can I be so virtuous and capable? They are all designed and manufactured by the craftsmen of Jiangnan Shipyard. At best, Wei Chen only made some suggestions. But His Highness knows the goods. Although this class of ship is very different from a sea-going ship  , but it is also quite different from the current inland river boats. It has a larger load capacity, faster speed, and runs more smoothly. With slight modifications, it can become an extremely luxurious building boat. His Majesty once intended to modify a few boats for him to travel around the world.  , Why don¡¯t Your Highness buy a few more ships? Don¡¯t worry, Jiangnan Shipyard is the property of Weichen and Hejian County Prince. Your Highness will definitely get a big discount on the ships you buy, giving you great value for money.¡±

    Li Tai was so angry that he laughed: "Mother! Are you selling all the goods to me? It's not impossible. I'll send ten or eight ships to my palace later. But I'll owe you the money first. When I get it,  If you have enough money, let¡¯s settle it together.¡±

    Fang Jun then said: "I can't afford this small profit It is said that when you established the 'Datang Culture Promotion Association', in order to connect the world's waterway stations, Weichen had already donated a batch of dozens of waterways.  You haven¡¯t paid even a copper for the boat.¡±

    The foundation of the "Datang Culture Promotion Association" is the stations all over the world, which serve as nodes and radiate to the state capitals all over the world.  Many of them have waterway stations. In order to facilitate transportation, Li Tai snatched dozens of boats from Fang Jun and Li Xiaogong. Fang Jun was just a master who didn't take money seriously, but he took "  "Scrooge" Li Xiaogong felt very distressed.

    Li Tai said disapprovingly: "How do those sampans compare with this class of warships? Dozens of them add up to only one hundred and eighty thousand yuan. How can you, the 'God of Wealth', take this seriously? On the contrary,  This warship has excellent performance, and I like it very much."

    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 across the country. Each school building costs a lot of money to select the location, construction, teachers, etc., and he often spends money on it.  One hundred thousand and two hundred thousand, although most of the money and food came from "begging", but the amount passed was so large that his horizons improved, and he no longer took the money of more than ten or two hundred thousand seriously.

    Fang Jun said nothing, but shook his head like a rattle.

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

    I think he is also a child of a noble family, and his father was once the chief minister, but usually someone with eighty thousand yuan in his hand feels very rich, and buying a house usually only costs tens of thousands of yuan, so it is ten thousand yuan to open his mouth and shut up.  How could he handle tens of thousands of words?

    I feel depressed and discouraged at the same time. The gap is a bit big

    However, I have also become more determined to follow this group of people. Compared with self-proclaimed roots,With the arrival of the Guanlong nobles with solid foundations, these people are obviously more energetic.

    The cook in the cabin was already preparing lunch. The fleet was speeding along, and soon it reached the point where it merged into the Yellow River. The fleet gradually slowed down.

    The Yellow River roars all the way from the north. It makes a big turning point here and turns eastward. Although the river here is wide, the water flow is fast.

    On the Guan Mountain facing Huang Nannan, the towers of Tongguan are indistinct. On the last section of the waterway where the Wei River enters the Yellow River, a river checkpoint is set up to search for ships traveling to and from the Wei River to ensure the safety of Guanzhong. The narrow river is densely packed along the right bank.  It was full of boats waiting to cross the border.

    The navy fleet moved forward under the envy and amazement of these ships, arriving before the river barrier.

    Several huge high-rise boats were parked on the river, and countless small boats were shuttled back and forth in the river. Officials in soap-colored uniforms on the boats were shouting and shouting, and they were busy checking the passing ships. They saw a group of menacing warships with pointed white sails.  Coming, they didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly separated out a few small boats to be inspected before being released, but they were stopped again by the red and green bright flags on the big boats.

    The officials stood on the boat with puzzled faces. The guard actually wanted to inspect it himself?

    It seems that this warship is carrying important people

    The fleet sailed slowly to the checkpoint, lowered the sails, dropped the anchor, and parked steadily. After a moment, an official ship came towards them in the distance. When they came closer, a group of people stood on the deck and faced  Looking around here, a clerk pulled out the gangplank 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 closely by Du He to watch the excitement, while several princesses looked out with interest from the helm.

    There were already soldiers from the navy and the right garrison on the deck, wearing helmets and armor, waiting in full formation. When Fang Jun waved his hand, several people rushed forward quickly, putting their hands on the springboard, fighting with their arms, and forcefully  He flipped the springboard down. On the springboard, the clerks were already climbing towards this side. They had only climbed halfway when one end of the springboard was lifted up and fell straight into the river. The clerks had no time to react, "Plop, plop, thump."  "The dumplings usually fall into the river as well, screaming and flopping endlessly.

    Fortunately, since the officials on the river are all good at water, there is no risk of drowning

    But this move caused an uproar among the ships docked on the shore waiting to pass the customs. In an instant, almost everyone rushed onto the deck and looked excitedly.

    The Tongguan waterway has always been called the "Ghost Pass". It's not that it's so dangerous, but it's because the several Tongguan guards are all masters who can't get in. The interrogation is extremely strict. It doesn't matter which company you are and how big a person is behind it.  Support, as long as the goods transported and sold are slightly over the limit, they will be fined and confiscated, or they will be directly imprisoned, without any mercy.

    "It seems that there is no one like this who dares to directly throw the officials who come on board the ship into the water for inspection."

    Most of the navy sailed in the East China Sea, and merchant ships on the inland rivers were rarely seen, so the dragon flag hanging above the bed felt very strange. However, there were people who knew the goods and shouted excitedly: "It's the navy.  Royal Navy!"

    "Isn't that right? Take a look at the person standing on the boat. Is it Fang Erlang?"

    Fang Jun is famous all over the world. These merchants have been traveling to Guanzhong all year round. Many people have seen Fang Jun before. At this time, people were shouting loudly. After a closer look, he really looked like

    Some people gloated: "Haha, mother! These Tongguan guards are all very arrogant. They are always extremely arrogant. Isn't it true that you have encountered a gang leader today? If you dare to treat Fang Er like he did to us.  You're so arrogant, I'm afraid a big tooth will break!"

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

    I am a little puzzled by Fang Jun¡¯s overreaction.

    Fang Jun stood on the side of the ship, with several soldiers blocking him in front of him, and shouted to the approaching official ship: "Who is this old man?"

    A military officer on the official ship held a sword on his waist, stood tall and loud, and responded loudly: "This is the guard general of Tongguan, Qiu Yingqi!"

    Fang Jun turned around and said to Li Tainu: "Hey, the enemy is coming."

    Li Tai frowned, a descendant of the Qiu family?

    That is really Fang Jun¡¯s enemy
