"Going downstream isn't that fast." Princess Jincheng sat on a chair on the deck and looked at the scenery on both sides of the river.
Right now, she wanted nothing more than for the captain to spread his wings and fly back to Chang 'an. She didn't have any memories of the scenery along the way.
This place was at the end of Jiuqu. There were people grazing, so it was a good place to graze horses.
There were also people waiting at the pier by the river with things. They were going back east, and the boat was coming back from the west. They could take them with them.
Therefore, there were four boats carrying things in the group. The things were given to Jiuqu, and the other things and people were loaded.
There should be more boats, but they were requisitioned by Princess Jincheng's group. They had no choice but to let the people who were used to the number of boats suffer.
There were no sailboats on the Yellow River. There were only steamers and propeller boats because they couldn't find so many boatmen.
"Jiuqu is really rich in water and grass." Chi Dai Pearl praised, but there was no praise in his eyes.
He knew how much Tubo blood was in the lush water and grass. The most tragic battle took place here.
This was the first time Tubo saw the power of an explosion and the helplessness of setting up a formation.
As for the scouts, they had never won a single battle and were always eaten up for no apparent reason.
"In the future, the entire Yellow River basin will have a place to live." Princess Jincheng saw the small town and the people going in and out.
With the walls to block the wild beasts, they could sleep peacefully at night.
"Nunu, when we reach Chang 'an, will the Li Family Zhuangzi have a place to live?" Chi Dai Pearl still didn't have a clear idea of Zhuangzi.
The newspaper had written about the situation of Zhuangzi in the Tang dynasty. There were many fields, but few houses. The hired tenants lived some distance away from their homes.
How many times bigger was Li Yi's Zhuangzi? The farmers lived in the surrounding areas and built fences. It seemed to be worse than her own Red White Palace.
"Li Family Zhuangzi has the Imperial Plantation to the north. We can arrange for people to live there. The rest will live in Li Family Zhuangzi." Princess Jincheng knew the size of Li Family Zhuangzi.
From Li Family Zhuangzi to the east, all the way to Pure Flowers Palace, it now belonged to Li Family Zhuangzi.
How many people can live in Chang 'an? The Li Family Zhuangzi was older than Chang 'an.
All the Winged Knights and horses could stay inside.
"It's noon and the weather is hot. Let's go back to the cabin for lunch." Chi Dai Zhu Dan found that the sun was too bright and stuffy.
Last night, it was drizzling. The sun shone down and the water vapor rose. There was a lot of grass around, so there was a thin layer of fog on the grass.
"That's right. It's been raining a lot recently, and the Yellow River has a large volume of water. I hope there won't be any damage along the way."
Princess Jincheng said as she got up and took Zhu Dan into the 'house'. This ship is quite big, some ships can only hold a dozen people.
Today, they were eating hotpot. The altitude was lower, and the temperature of the water was higher.
For every thousand meters of elevation, the boiling point of water would decrease by three degrees Celsius. Therefore, in many places of the Tang dynasty, the temperature of boiling water was less than 100 degrees Celsius.
The current place was less than two thousand meters above sea level. Boiling water could be used, so there was no need to bother with the pressure cooker.
…
"Giddy up! Hyah! Make way, the imperial court is in a hurry, make way … "A group of six people was moving forward at high speed.
They had been running for two days to reach one stop every ten miles.
From Chang 'an to Ezhou, the straight-line distance was about 1,500 miles. Obviously, they couldn't fly, so they could only run according to the road.
In some mountain roads, the horses didn't dare to run as fast as they could for fear of falling down on the road.
Except for going to the toilet, the six people spent all their time on the back of the horse, including sleeping.
Four people were responsible for watching the horses. Two people lay on the back of the horse and closed their eyes for about two hours. Then, they changed people and ran all the way.
In the past, their monthly salary was six dans of grain and pickles. Now, in the Tang dynasty, it was part of the salary.
If converted into money, they could get 500 yuan a month. If they delayed things, they would be beheaded.
Now, they didn't give grain, pickles, or soy sauce. They directly gave the lowest level three dans, which was about 100 yuan a day.
Other people worked hard and earned more than 20 yuan a day. It was already good enough. They didn't need to work that much.
Their value was reflected at this moment. They could sleep on the horse. The urgent news was like fire.
When it was Li Yi, he drove from Xi 'an to Wuchang. It was twice as fast as the current messenger. There was a highway.
They reached the riverside. Ezhou's administrative center was Jiangxia County, where Yellow Crane Tower was located.
Yellow Crane Tower was in Jiangxia of the Tang dynasty, not Wuchang during Li Yi's time. Wuchang during Li Yi's time was far from Wuchang County of the Tang dynasty.
Echeng and Huangshi during Li Yi's time were the places covered by Wuchang County of the Tang dynasty.
The six people got off the horse. Their legs were weak. They put on life jackets. The people at the water stop didn't dare to delay. They didn't look at the weather and directly took them out.
It was raining now. It had been raining for several days.
The waves of the Yangtze River were rolling. Other boats stopped, but this small boat was shuttling. Two people were rowing, and one was in charge of the stern.
The sailing route was slanted and rushed down the river. If it wasn't so, it would have been overturned.
When they reached the port, the nine people breathed a sigh of relief.
The person steering the boat told the six people to go ashore first. They followed and didn't go back. It was too dangerous.
The six people got on their horses again and rushed to the administrative center.
There were many people on the shore. The people were piling up sacks to see which place might be washed away. They first filled up the sacks with sand. They wanted to protect the embankment.
"Stop, here. My provincial governor is here. The provincial governor is not in the administrative center."
The six horses ran three miles. Someone heard their shouts and shouted back.
The six people quickly turned back and saw a man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat under a straw shed. They couldn't tell his age.
"Provincial Governor Lu?" The captain of the six people asked.
"Look at the seal!" The other party didn't say whether it was him or not. He carried the official seal with him. It wasn't suitable to find a paper to print it, so he directly showed it to the other party.
The captain frowned and looked at it. He tried hard to make the words look normal.
The captain's eyes hurt. He nodded and said, "His Majesty's decree."
He handed over the letter. There was a lacquer seal on it.
"Let's go back to the administrative center." Provincial Governor Lu felt inconvenient.
"Look at it immediately. We can't delay. It's Li Family Zhuangzi." The captain knew some things.
"Ba Shui Li Family Village?" Provincial Governor Lu asked.
"Look! Li Dongzhu wants to pay. Quick! "The captain was anxious and passed him a knife.
Provincial Governor Lu looked at the lacquer seal and felt that there was no problem. He took the knife and opened the letter. He was slightly stunned and looked at it again.
He raised his head and looked at the captain. The captain frowned, "Why are you looking at me? If someone dies, no matter how many heads you have, it won't be enough. Don't think that you will be fine just because you are from the Fanyang Lu Family. "
"Men, pass down the order. Tell the people to bring their things to higher ground. Don't care about anything else. When the rain stops and the water level drops, the Li Dongzhu from the Li Family Zhuangzi in Chang 'an has promised to pay compensation. Tell the other prefectures. Send the letter."
Provincial Governor Lu didn't dare to delay. If the captain called out the Fanyang Lu Family, it might implicate his family.
The order was passed down. There wasn't enough time to write the announcement. Even if it was written, there was nowhere to post it.
The entire E Prefecture started to move. The news spread to the other prefectures.
The other prefectures didn't see the letter, and it wasn't meant for them. Hence … they followed the instructions. After all, the Fanyang Lu Family had endorsed the letter.
When the commoners heard the news, they hurried to spread the word. Every family and household packed their things and prepared to leave. They headed to higher ground. There were many mountains nearby.
