Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

They traveled from the capital to the southwest, and on their way back they had to go horizontally from the southwest to the southeast and then return.

Because he was with Zhang Zijin, Zhao Yuanzhen would not leave the Daliang Dynasty or go to the Southwestern Yi.

Along the way, I traveled through Youzhou, Qinzhou, and also went to Qiongzhou, Wuzhou, Guangzhou, Chaozhou, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Wenzhou, Taizhou and other southern prefectures and cities.

There were many mountains, prefectures and counties along the way, and by the time we reached Taizhou, another year and a half had passed.

These are all coastal cities, and they experienced the feeling of eating all you can of seafood along the way.

Even Guo Jing and Huang Rong ate seafood along the way, not to mention Genghis Khan.

During this period, Zhao Yuanzhen discovered many minerals, most of which were just marked, and only a few were sold occasionally.

Even so, her points amounted to more than 9 million.

I think it should be enough for the time being.

Zhao Yuanzhen has asked the system to set the time of all the 10 newly ordered large warehouses to be in still state.

For Zhang Zijin's travel notes, Zhao Yuanzhen chose both sea and land transportation.

People travel between prefectures by boat, and travel between county towns within a prefecture by horse-drawn carriage.

This was the first time Zhang Zijin saw the sea.

I was excited for a long time, and wrote more and more travel notes, which became more and more detailed.

His writing style is getting better and better, no longer immature and much more mature.

Zhao Yuanzhen also helped take photos of many beautiful places and made them into pictures to give to Zhang Zijin.

It may be released along with the book in the future.

After writing the travel notes in Taizhou, Zhao Yuanzhen took them all the way to Yangzhou.

Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March.

It was March, the spring of the year, and the scenery in Yangzhou was breathtakingly beautiful.

Different from the distinct four seasons in Yanshan Prefecture, Yangzhou has the appearance of a delicate young lady, making people feel that the wind blowing over is gentle.

The silk from Yangzhou is of the best quality, and now that we are here, we certainly cannot miss it.

Several people planned to stay in Yangzhou for 3 months and bought a lot of cloth.

Zhao Yuanzhen bought a lot of all kinds of fashionable and classic materials, as long as they were available and good-looking.

He was also generous enough to select a few batches for Qingfeng and Mingyue.

Lan Ying thought about going back and asking Zhang Qingyan to help her make a few sets of clothes, as her knitting and needlework skills were indeed not as good as Zhang Qingyan's.

Zhao Yuanzhen even took a few people to the Qinhuai River and boarded a pleasure boat.

Of course, she wasn't here to lead Zhang Zijin astray, she just brought them here to listen to music.

The songs sung by artists from Yangzhou have a bit of the Wu dialect feel and are particularly beautiful to the ears.

The food in the painted boat was also good, so Zhao Yuanzhen came to listen for several days in a row.

There were two little girls who sang very beautifully.

Zhao Yuanzhen became interested and wanted to buy it and take it back.

But after talking to the maid in the houseboat, she asked for 1000 taels each.

This is too expensive. The musicians she bought before were only more than 100 taels each. This price has increased by 9 times.

After some further bargaining, she finally paid 1800 taels of silver and took away the two little singing girls she liked very much.

Zhao Yuanzhen also wanted to buy two men with good singing skills, but she never met the right ones.

There was no need to rush, so Zhao Yuanzhen let Zhang Zijin and Qingfeng go and get to know Yangzhou City on their own, while he himself lingered in the pleasure boat listening to music every day.

"Come out quickly, that lady is here again, everyone hurry up."

"Really? Wait, I'll be there soon."

"I'll go as well."

A group of girls and men who heard the news went to Zhao Yuanzhen's houseboat.

She has been hanging out in pleasure boats lately, looking for people to sing and play music for her. She is generous with her money and will even redeem herself if she meets someone she likes.

This is a thousand times better than serving those troublesome and perverted men.

Everyone rushed over to sing for Zhao Yuanzhen. Even if they couldn't redeem her, it would be good to get some reward money.

I don’t know where this lady came from. Judging from her voice, she doesn’t sound like a local, but rather an outsider.

That day, Zhao Yuanzhen took Lan Ying to listen to music in the pleasure boat as usual. Suddenly, there was a noise outside the pleasure boat.

"I want to see who is so bold as to rob my people? Surround them."

A man's arrogant voice came over, and Zhao Yuanzhen frowned, as she was disturbed from listening to the music.

"Lan Ying!"

Zhao Yuanzhen called Lan Ying and asked her to solve the problem.

"Yes, ma'am."

After so many years of tacit understanding, Lan Ying left immediately.

He walked outside the pleasure boat and spoke to the people who gathered around him.

"Who is making noise here? You are disturbing my wife's music. Leave now!"

Zhao Yuanzhen has booked this pleasure boat for a month, so it is impossible for you to open it to the public during this period. The only people who come here are those who want to cause trouble.

"Also, this pleasure boat is reserved by my wife. Who let you on board?"

Lan Ying looked at the servant rowing the boat at the bow and gave him a serious look. When the servant met Lan Ying's gaze, he turned his eyes away uncomfortably. There was nothing he could do because he was the eldest son of the prefect's family. Who would dare to disobey him?

"Who do you think you are? How dare you ask us to leave? Our young master is the son of the Yangzhou prefect, and you can't be so rude to him. Get out of here if you know what's best for you!"

Lan Ying rolled her eyes, walked forward and kicked the person who was speaking off the pleasure boat.

The man was floundering in the water.

"Help...Help...I don't know how to swim..."

After floating up and down for a while, the servant on the pleasure boat jumped down to save people for fear that the situation would get out of hand.

A young man in his 20s, dressed in fancy clothes and waving a fan, came over.

He glanced at Lan Ying, who was just a pretty maid, and then looked away with disinterest.

"Oh, you are so brave. I haven't seen such a blind man in Yangzhou for a long time. Come on, smash it for me. If you catch him, chop off his feet."

He doesn't take Lan Ying seriously at all. Anyone who dares to touch him will have to pay the price.

When Lan Ying heard this, she became furious.

He took two steps forward, kicked down the man who was rushing towards him, pulled out the wooden stick in his hand, and started beating the man who was rushing towards him.

What she practiced the most was swordsmanship, so even though she used a wooden stick, every move she made was still a sword move.

She was very strong, and even though she used a wooden stick, the people she hit felt very painful, most of them had broken legs and arms, and lost their ability to fight.

The people on the pleasure boat were originally there to watch the fun. Everyone knew how powerful Master Fang was, and when they saw that they were about to lose the match, they quickly asked someone to report to the police.

When Mr. Fang saw this, he found that all the people he brought with him were knocked down.

Suddenly I became interested.

"He does have some skills, no wonder he's so arrogant. What a pity."

It's a pity that nothing can be done under his chassis.

"It's a pity. He has a human skin but can't do human things."

Lan Ying didn't let him off. She walked over and hit Mr. Fang on the leg with a stick.

Master Fang didn't expect that this little maid would dare to touch him. He was caught off guard and fell to his knees on the ground.

There was a sharp pain in my leg, as if it was broken.

"Ahh! Damn it! Someone, catch her for me."

Unfortunately, all the people he brought were lying down and had no fighting power left.

Lan Ying dragged him to the deck next to her like a dead dog, then clapped her hands.

"Get out of here right now. If you disturb our lady from listening to music again, I will do more than just break your legs."

Master Fang was sweating from the pain. What made him even more furious was that in Yangzhou, he, the son of a prefect, was actually beaten. If this were to be made known to others, it would be a huge joke.

"Come here, come here, go to the government office and call for help, surround this place and capture those people. I will kill them today."

Fang Yunqi was filled with hatred, and he was afraid that his leg was broken.

The servant next to him who was less seriously injured quickly crawled over to call for help.

"Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and call someone."

"Get lost now."

Lan Ying glanced at the few people who could only feel helpless and furious, clapped his hands and walked away in disgust.

He returned to the houseboat and nodded to Zhao Yuanzhen.

"Solved, ma'am."

"Ah."

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't pay much attention and continued listening to the music. She wanted to find a few people with good voices and singing skills to bring back to Beijing.

There are quite a few people coming to the painting boat to sing today, 25 men and women in total.

Zhao Yuanzhen is listening to them one by one.

A few people who heard the noise came out, took a quick look, then hurriedly saluted and left.

"Ma'am, I have something else to do suddenly, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Then seven or eight people followed.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a look at the seven or eight people who walked out and said nothing.

"If anyone has anything else to do, leave now."

Zhao Yuanzhen spoke and five more people left.

"Okay, for the rest, Lan Ying will give each of you 20 taels of silver. Keep singing."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Thank you ma'am for the reward."

Those who stayed were very happy, because this was 20 taels of silver. Although their business was quite profitable, the maids took the lion's share, and those of them who were not so famous took the smaller share, and could not get much silver every month.

All the tips from the customers were given to them as their own, so the 20 taels were all theirs.

How can we not make them happy?

The next person to sing sang even harder.

This lady, when she has a reward, she really gives it!

After listening to less than three songs, there was noise outside again. This time, Lan Ying did not wait for Zhao Yuanzhen to speak and went out to check.

I saw a group of soldiers surrounding the pleasure boat and then forcing it to go ashore.

Mr. Fang had been carried up in a sedan chair.

"Someone, take her down and cut off her feet and hands."

When Master Fang saw Lan Ying coming out, he ordered the officers and soldiers to arrest the person directly without waiting for the pleasure boat to dock.

"If you want to arrest me, you have to have a reason. Which law of the Daliang Dynasty did I break?"

Lan Ying asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Which law? Hahahaha, if you mess with me, you're breaking my law, bitch. Today I'm going to let you know who you can't mess with. Take me away!"

Lan Ying looked at Mr. Fang, whose face turned pale with pain, but he was still saying harsh words, but he lacked any momentum.

Fang Yunqi was indeed in great pain. If it weren't for his powerful anger and hatred, he would have gone back screaming.

Now he just wanted to catch her, chop off her hands and feet, and throw her into the river to feed the fish.
