On that day, Yang He crossed the Yellow River. As he said, inspector Deng dispatched all the ships of his inspection department, as well as some ships from his younger brother's delivery station, to help transport them together.

With the help of many ships, even if the Yanghe team has a large number of supplies and personnel, they will still be transported across the river in one go.

Among them, Inspection Commissioner Deng made great contributions. He was a 300-material ship. In addition to carrying dozens of people, he could also carry 300 stones of cargo.

"Cao Chuan Zhi": "If you build a sea ship with a thousand materials, you must use a hundred people to drive it, and you will only transport a thousand stones of rice."

This is the standard for ships at this time. Calculated by load capacity, ships with a load capacity of less than 400 stones are called shallow ships, which are convenient for transportation by the Lihe River.

Four hundred stones and those on board are called sea ships, which can be transported on the river and sea.

In the Ming Dynasty, the material was used as stone decomposition. One stone was 188 kilograms equal to one material, and three hundred materials were the load of three hundred stones.

Of course, you can also add some people.

However, Yanghe team has hundreds of people, and there are also a large amount of grain, rice, various materials, etc., and they are on board, off the ship, carrying, unloading, and all kinds of things are complicated. They come and go, and they are all struggling until the afternoon before all the personnel and materials have been crossing the river.

But it’s good to cross the river, and the experience of the boat sailing in the Yellow River will be unforgettable to Yang He forever.

The surging river water, the biting cold wind, and the magnificent scene seem to make people feel a tearful feeling.

That's the feeling of driving in the embrace of the mother river.

There is a pier on the north bank of the river, which is the mooring place for the inspector's ships.

Then not far from the embankment is the Xin'an Inspection Office, which has the main hall, official room, ritual gate, archway, public hall, churchyard and other equipment.

The Xin'an Inspection Office was once the Water Horse Post Office. In the 45th year of Jiajing, it was changed to the Inspection Office, and the Water Horse Post Office was abolished.

At present, the Inspection Department has one inspector, one clerk, two Zaoli, and thirty archers.

However, Yang He felt that inspector Deng did not have that many soldiers, at most twenty-three people, and the rest might be empty.

He stood on the embankment and looked at it. It was similar to the south bank. It was the structure of the embankment, the grid embankment, and the remote embankment. The remote embankment and the embankment were also densely covered with willow forests.

However, there may not be many river water here, so there may be fewer dams along the rivers, lakes, mudflats, and sandy soil, but there are more saline-alkali land, but the dam is too high and irrigation is difficult. Looking at it, the artemisia is dense like a grassland, and there are layers of salt purlins that are vaguely visible.

The cold wind whistles, the weeds rise and fall, and the wind blows the grass low and there are no cattle and sheep.

Some rivers flow southward and cannot flow into the Yellow River. They form some lakes near the river embankment, with reed marshes and some ditches along the lake.

These wilderness fields, deserted beaches, and lakes are full of depressions, so it is easy to provide locusts with a large area of ​​life.

Six or seven miles north is a continuous mountain peak, and there seem to be some villages of varying sizes on the side.

Looking around Yanghe, although he crossed the Yellow River, this place still belongs to Suining.

In the 14th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming government transferred Zhaoyi Township, southwest of Pizhou and its fourteen communities into Suining. At this time, there were about Xin'an Society, Dongzhuang Society, Qingyang Society, Baishan Society, Huangshan Society and other communities in Suining County on the north bank of the Yellow River.

What I saw in front of me should be where Xin'an Society of Zhaoyi Township is located. From Qingyang Society to the east, it is close to Yanwu Township, which is located in the Pizhou border.

Then the northernmost Huangshan Society is close to the boundaries of Xuzhou and Pizhou.

Of course, Suining County was also under the jurisdiction of Pizhou at this time, and together with Suqian, there were two counties under the jurisdiction of Pizhou.

Moreover, administrative units in different future generations, now rural areas, clubs, clubs, and towns are just geographical concepts. At this time, they call villages and clubs, and only refer to a single place, just like later generations called Yangtze River, Yellow River, Taihang Mountain, and Huangshan Mountain.

The Lijia system or the grassroots units at this time are all mapped, and they are tax units.

There is also a quasi-official road here, which leads from Pizhou to Xuzhou along the north bank of the Yellow River, and then the Xin'an Inspection Department is stuck on the side of the road.

There are important water and land, official roads run across the road, and mountains and forests nearby. Bandits are prone to appear and harassment and troubles. It is indeed necessary to set up inspection departments.

However, there is a large area like the north bank of Suining, Deng, who is really powerless to inspect the 20 archers who want to take care of him.

...

When Yang He and others climbed the embankment, Deng Sheng's younger brother Deng Guan also greeted him on the embankment. His delivery office was only ten miles away from the inspection department and only thirty miles away from the Pizhou government. It was very convenient to visit relatives and friends and communicate with each other, and to come and go.

The two brothers also look very similar, both have chubby faces and their official robes are also very similar, neither like officials or businessmen.

They went down the river embankment and entered the inspection department to speak. Guan Deng was more talkative than his brother Deng Sheng. First of all, he highly praised Yang Xianggong for his great achievements in defeating the bandits. He exaggeratedly stated that Yang Xianggong was entering Zhaoyi Township, so that the people would have no worries.

Then he changed the topic and moved to his delivery office, implying that he delivered all the large amount of supplies, weapons, military uniforms, swords and guns, etc., if he wanted, the price was absolutely discounted.

He also saw that this person with the surname Yang must be a rich man.

Yang He is also very interested in this. The delivery station of the delivery center specializes in transporting military supplies and certain tribute items, which is definitely a fat man.

During the Ming Dynasty, there were three major post office institutions, emergency delivery shops, water horse offices, and delivery stations.

The water horse post in this inner city, also known as the post station, is specially used to deliver passengers and report military affairs.

The task of delivering official documents for emergency delivery of specialized documents is relatively simple, but the shops are also the hardest to live. The biggest feature of urgent delivery is urgent. No matter how many documents are, no matter how many documents are, no matter how many days and nights, cold and heat, wind and rain, they must be "delivered immediately" and must not be left.

They still transfer their powers according to the ancient method, and they traveled for 100 junctions a day and night, and walked for 300 miles a day and night. This is all based on people's journey.

Finally, the delivery office was set up in the ninth year of Hongwu. It was specially designed to transport military supplies and other items, equipped with ambassadors and checkers, as well as horses, boats and cattle, and you can also get the benefits.

To put it in the words of later generations, the three major postal systems of the Ming Dynasty, emergency delivery shops were equivalent to postal express delivery or registered mail, water horse posts were equivalent to general postal mail, and delivery stations were equivalent to postal logistics.

The Deng surnamed said that he had a large amount of military supplies, and Yang He must have believed it.

However, at present, Yang He is not in the mood to listen to his sales. Looking at the sky, he thinks it is better to arrive at the abandoned village as soon as possible.

...

Yang He politely rejected the suggestion that Inspection Brother Deng sent someone to guide the way, and he had already seen the village on the embankment.

However, he also agreed to the invitation of inspector Deng and the other two to hold a banquet at the inspection office tomorrow to welcome him.

His team had already lined up by the inspection department, and they had their own things to pick. Then Yang He ordered his departure. Han Daxia brought Hu to work with his brothers, and he had met Chen Qiuao in front of him. He rode his horse and Yang, and his younger brother and sister put them in a basket.

Zhang Chugong and the other two held bird guns, and the winged tiger gun followed behind the horse, followed by Han Guaner, Luo Xianjue, Yan Dezheng and others, leading the war horse.

The elderly man in the education team carried a soft and soft back, carrying a rosewood official hat and chair and a small table to follow.

Finally, Qi Youxin led the killer team, as well as women, children, young and old, baggage team, etc., carrying a lot of loads and carrying the wounded.

Everyone's faces were filled with relaxed smiles, and finally they arrived at the place and had home again.

They walked north along the inspection office. At this time, Shen Shi was approaching, but the sun was still in the air. Looking up, a piece of artemisia shone with its wormwood, and occasionally saw salt purlins, submerged in the weeds.

These vast and flat lands are basically abandoned and desolate.
