According to a news, the loyal and brave man who was born and searched for treasure for the Daxia court last year greatly damaged the authority of the Daxia court, but Pan Long was not happy.

On the contrary, he felt a little sad.

The result of this matter did not meet his wishes.

"There's no way! How can it be possible if everything goes well? It's a good result for me..."

He sighed and came to the ferry outside the town.

At this moment, the town he is in is called Longxidu, which is located about a hundred miles below Tianfu Gorge, Tongtian River.

The river water connecting the Tian River flows from Tiannu Gorge. As the river becomes wider, the water continues to soothe. In addition, the terrain here is good, a large ferry is built.

Normally, civilian ships sailing along Tongtian River start here, go downstream, pass through prefectures and counties, and finally enter the sea at Longweitan, Yangzhou, and enter the East China Sea.

Pan Long’s plan for this trip was to take a boat east to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is the most prosperous place among the nine states in the world. Even in the Warring States Period, he never experienced the war. In recent years, most of Pan Long lived in remote and poor places, and even slept in the wind like a savage in the wilderness. It was time to see the prosperity of the world well.

Yongzhou is almost the poorest place in Jiuzhou, and he has seen it.

Yizhou was almost the weakest place in the Daxia Dynasty's rule, and he had seen it.

Now, it’s time to see the most prosperous place in the Daxia Dynasty.

Only by comparing the situation everywhere can we judge what state the Daxia Dynasty is currently in and can we find the real fatal key of this behemoth.

...If it really exists.

According to the plan, Pan Long will take a boat to Yangzhou to take a good look at the flower world of Yangzhou, and then find a mountain to absorb the qi to practice. During the practice, he will also return to the world from time to time and take a look.

Only by stretching and relaxing can we go further.

He had been waiting for Longxie Ferry for about half a month, but the ferry had not set off yet.

Going east along Tongtian River, you will drive to Yangzhou, and you will have more than 10,000 reefs, bandits, demons... Ordinary ships cannot bear it at all, and ordinary boatmen cannot withstand these dangers. Only the elite sailors led by masters can drive those particularly reinforced large ships.

Of course, such flights will not be available at any time. According to the rules, one is about one per month and ten per year.

During the two flood seasons of the Spring and Autumn Period, large ships do not depart.

The river flows very fast in Tongtian River, especially during flood seasons, the river roars like a tiger descending a mountain. Many poets of all time have written poems to lament that there are all the allusions of "A thousand miles of Jiangling return in one day" and "Come on a boat, looking into the sea, riding fog and flying clouds".

In that case, those who are desperate and those who are in a hurry can challenge them by taking a small boat, but the big boat will never set sail.

It is also okay to take a large boat during the flood season, and then go down the river for more than 200 miles. When you arrive at the place where "Return to Zhu Ferry", large boats will berth at any time all year round.

It is also a famous scenic spot on Tongtian River, with several allusions that have been passed down through the ages. If Han Feng was also walking with Pan Long, he would definitely get off the boat and go ashore, take a look at the calligraphy left by poets of all generations, and sigh carefully.

But Pan Long himself did not have this leisure and elegance. At most, he would bring some delicious food from all over the country. For example, Han Feng had never forgotten the thin slices of Yangzhou, and bought some, sealed them in magic weapons, and took them back to taste them for him and opened his eyes.

After waiting for a few more days, the ship finally arrived.

There are third-class cabins on this ship, and two first-class cabins. It has a wide area and a great view, which is enough to accommodate more than a dozen people. There are formations in the cabin, which are not only free of bumps, but also warm in winter and cool in summer. In addition, the servants and maids who are waiting for orders at any time, they are really at home, and going out is no less than enjoyment at home.

Such a cabin is naturally exclusive to high-ranking officials and nobles. If you don’t have a high enough status, you can’t book even if you have money. Even if you can’t live in an empty space, you won’t let the cat and the dog live in.

The second level and the third level are much simpler, just spend money.

Of course, there are huge differences in treatment.

Pan Long spent a lot of money to book a medium-class cabin. The room was about the same as the ordinary inn, with neat beds and complete tables and chairs.

There is a very large bed here, and there is a foldable small bed on it. Use both beds to sleep with three people. If you squeeze in, four people may be fine. When eating, you can have four people at a table.

There is also a small toilet in the room, and every morning there are servants who change the toilet. But you have to go to the shared bathroom to take a shower, and the time is pre-ordered, which is a little inconvenient enough.

Sitting next to the table, opening the window, the height is just on the deck, you can browse the scenery on both sides of the strait, which is very comfortable.

The lower class cabin is very poor, with a small space, eight people per room, with tables but no chairs, so there is naturally no toilet. When Pan Long booked a room, he asked about the situation in the lower class cabin. The ticket shopkeeper looked at his figure, shook his head, and said, "With the size of the guest officer and the bed in the lower class cabin, you have to curl up to sleep."

This completely dispelled Pan Long's idea of ​​saving money or experiencing life, so he obediently took out a lot of money and booked a medium-class cabin.

But calculating the price, if he traveled all the way to Yangzhou with his legs, the number of cars, horses, food and accommodation along the way was not a small amount, and it might not be much cheaper than the medium-class cabin.

On the day of boarding, Pan Long got on the boat with a small bag. After opening the door according to the bill, he saw that the windows were bright and the cabin was very neat.

He nodded with satisfaction, put down his luggage, returned to the deck, and sat on the bow of the boat to watch the fun.

Soon, a first-class passenger arrived. The rich family had about twenty-five or six passengers, with two women and a child, and there were seven or eight servants. What was most surprising was that he had a lot of luggage and brought boxes one by one onto the boat, and there were endless streams. Pan Long couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Just going out, do you need so much luggage?

Moreover, how many boxes are quite heavy, is it gold, silver and treasures?

What are you going to do if you bring so much gold, silver and treasures out?

There were many banknotes in the Daxia Dynasty. Isn’t it much more convenient to keep money as silver notes?

Although you have to pay a handling fee of varying amounts when redeeming the banknotes, it is at least convenient and safer than taking a long journey with a wealthy family!

He was wondering here, a tall and strong man came over and said a little rudely: "Friend, we are not engaged in business without capital on this ship!"

Pan Long was stunned for a moment and asked back: "Why do you feel so?"

"If it weren't for the people in the green forest, who would have estimated the size of other people's boxes one by one?"

Pan Long was a little embarrassed and explained: "I just haven't seen anyone bring so much luggage when they go out..."

The man obviously didn't believe him at all, and frowned and said, "The person who came was a customer. Since you bought a boat ticket, you are the customer of our Dajiang Company. No matter what business you did before, as long as you are well-behaved on this boat, everything else has nothing to do with us. But I want to remind you that our Dajiang Company has been doing the Tongtianjiang passenger transport business for nearly a hundred years. Although there have been ships attacked or even killed or robbed, they have never let a murderer escape!"

"Just on this ship, there are six innate masters at any time. When necessary, we can even ask several real masters along the way to attack our ship, which is not worth the loss."

He said and turned around and left, not arguing with Pan Long about whether he was a robber.

Pan Long shook his head and sighed.
Chapter completed!
