He was tied and led, like a beast, took it off the deck, locked in a dark cabin, and tied it to a rivet on a bulkhead. This way of treatment is no different from the black slaves and piglets in the slavery era, but Li Manhou has not yet felt humiliated because there is a reasonable explanation, that is, these people misunderstood.

Li Manhou was naive at this time and thought that once he explained the whole story clearly, they would definitely let him go and most likely give him some preferential treatment. After all, he was also a rare guest! A rare guest who returned to the Song Dynasty from the 21st century!

After calming down, Li Manhou had basically accepted the reality of coming to the Song Dynasty. Of course, he was still a little difficult to adapt to instinctively and always felt that it was unreal. But he was a very rational person. If he had not really reached another time and space, he would have been unable to explain why the traces of modern civilization suddenly disappeared completely!

So he didn't resist or struggle. He was still wearing a tight diving suit and tied up in many colors. He simply leaned on the cabin to rest and sorted out his thoughts.

Gradually, he became more interested. How did he come to this era? He is not a superstitious person, but he firmly believes in mysterious events. The environment he grew up in was the Archaeology Institute, which is a place full of mysterious legends. His major was history and was full of all kinds of mysterious legends. Later, he was engaged in the treasure hunting industry, which was even more popular with all kinds of bizarre and strange legends. Therefore, he did not believe that there were gods in the world, but he believed that there were phenomena in the world that science could not explain. It was obvious that he encountered such mysterious phenomena now.

Li Manhou was very interested in this. He wanted to explore it immediately and wanted to solve two mysteries. First: How did he come? It was unreasonable that he suddenly crossed a thousand years from the 21st century to the Song Dynasty. Even if it was a thunder, he could at least use energy to distort time and space to explain it. He pulled the stones in the Bian River and was inexplicably pulled by the Song Dynasty. Second: Can he go back? If he could, he would have to go back. This principle is very simple. Although in modern civilized society, there are also various troubles, no one is willing to completely escape from modern civilization. Most of the fantasy poems and intellectual men and women in the distance only go on a short trip, which really sent them to the primitive African wastelands, and they would probably cry and shout for help.

Li Manhou believed that once he explained the situation to these Song Dynasty people, they would definitely let him go. After all, the Song Dynasty was the most civilized country in this era. According to statistics, the Song Dynasty had never killed literati in four hundred years.

He believed that the people of the Song Dynasty would reason, at least not hurt themselves, because he could not find any reason to do so. No matter how he looked at it, he would not hurt the people of the Song Dynasty.

After revealing his identity to the Song Dynasty, he can also tell the Song Dynasty people in advance some historical experiences and lessons. Maybe he can really learn some lessons from history, at least avoid some tragedies.

To be honest, Li Manhou had a good impression of the Song Dynasty. If he had to go back to a certain ancient dynasty, even if the Song Dynasty was not ranked first, he would be at least in the top three.

Although the historical reputation of this dynasty is not good, and it is even dogmatically described as poor and weak in textbooks, it is worth discussing. To talk about poverty, the Song Dynasty was the richest country in human history before the industrial age, and other countries were incomparable to other countries in the same period. Even the two major dynasties after the Song Dynasty were actually much worse than those of the Song Dynasty in terms of per capita. Therefore, Li Kuanhou did not recognize the saying that poverty was weak. To talk about weakness, the military industry and military technology of the Song Dynasty were all at the peak of the times. The so-called eighteen weapons were crafted by the Song Dynasty people. Publishing military monographs like "The General Yao of Wu Jing" was also the pinnacle of the ancient world. The reason why it gave people the impression of weakness was that the opponents of the Song Dynasty were too strong. The Liao Kingdom in the north and the Khitan in the northwest were probably all rampant characters. It was already quite difficult to be with such an opponent.

Li Manhou said that the Song Dynasty was at least comparable to the so-called "rich and strong" dynasty like the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was not only rich, but also more reasonable in its use of wealth. The salary and generosity of the Song Dynasty to officials was the highest in ancient times. Although it failed to play a role in maintaining integrity with high salaries, the corruption in the Song Dynasty was much better than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In addition, the Song Dynasty also established one of the earliest welfare systems in human history. The Song Dynasty established the Huiji Bureau, the Huimin Bureau, the Huimin Bureau, and other Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau in various prefectures and counties, and allocated transfers every year to purchase medicine for free to the poor. It also built an Anlehu that specializes in caring for homeless people. It introduced poverty alleviation policies, and if a baby is born in rural areas and below the seventh grade of the city, the government will give 4,000 yuan subsidies.

If there is any happiness index survey in this era, then the people in the world who have a Song Dynasty household registration are probably the highest happiness index.

The culture of the Song Dynasty was also relatively open. Although it was not as bold as the Tang Dynasty and the national spirit tended to be restrained, it was still much more open than the later Ming and Qing dynasties. The Song Dynasty's civilization was very inclusive. Although it was not as good as the Tang Dynasty, elites of all ethnic groups in the world could be officials in the court, it also allowed and attracted merchants from all over the world to trade in the Song Dynasty. The scale and scope of the sea trade of the Song Dynasty were larger than that of the Tang Dynasty. The same was true for the city, which had both military and commercial functions, was abolished in the city, and the cities were more open, free, and commercial activities were less restricted, more active and prosperous.

If modern people like Li Manhou came to the Song Dynasty, they could do more things than other dynasties, were less restricted, and felt the least suppressed. So Li Manhou also accepted that although it was not a good thing to come to the Song Dynasty, it was at least not the worst outcome compared to being exiled to other eras.

What's more, he is still lucky enough to go back, thinking that as long as he explains the problem clearly, he can find his way back. He has experienced many bizarre things, and the process of exploration is often full of fun, and in the end he will get a reasonable explanation. But he just wants to communicate and explain with the other party, but he can't wait for people on the left and right, and those who wait start to be anxious: Why no one comes to talk to him? Why no one comes to ask him something? Why no one comes to contact him? Are you not curious about who he is? Where is he from? Why is he coming here? At this time, he vaguely feels that the boat is moving, and it is a little abnormal.

The ship is actually moving all the time. The water surface is not static. Of course, the ship cannot be static. The direction and frequency of movement seem to be different, and the ship seems to be driving.

Don’t they plan to salvage Hua Shigang?

Li Manhou’s question was also a question in the next cabin at this time.

An oil lamp was lit here to give a bright spot in the dim cabin, and two people sat at a wooden table.

One of them was wearing black clothes, and the light hit the black clothes, which seemed to be sucked in, making him look sinister. But his face looked particularly white, with long faces, dense wrinkles on his eyes and foreheads, and other places were also very loose, like a piece of sick pork.

Another man was wearing iron armor, reflecting the light, emitting a faint cold light. His young face was full of vitality, looking healthy and handsome. However, such a handsome face was worried and even anxious at this moment.

"Is there anything unknown to the official Cai?"

At this time, the officer wearing Infantry Armor questioned the old man in soap clothes.

Cai Bo said: "But do you doubt I won't take advantage of the flower stone gang?"

The soldier nodded.

Cai Bo said: "Zhu Tixia, you are the confidant of the prime minister, and I will not hide it from you. How can this flower and stone gang be fished out? We are equivalent to Jiangnan, and we have requisitioned thousands of civilians before we salvaged it. Now there are only thirty boatmen and hundreds of boatmen. How can we fish out?"

Zhu Tixia was worried: "If you don't take it away and lose the flower stone gang, you and I can't afford it?"

Bo Cai picked the flowering wick casually, without any turbulence in his tone:

"It is a mistake to mention the rule of law. It is not a loss, it is a fall from the river!"

Zhu Tixia said, "Isn't this all the same? If the prime minister asks for guilt or even alarms the emperor, it will be a serious crime!"

Cai Bo sighed: "The Prime Minister is afraid that he can't ask you and me for your sins anymore. Even if he is the emperor, he is afraid that he will not have much thought at this time!"

Zhu Tixia frowned: "Is the rumors true?"

These days, there have been a lot of news. The Jin soldiers in the north went south and the court suffered repeated defeats. What is even more worrying is that the prime minister Cai Jing was impeached and deposed. Zhu Tixia was not very concerned about the former. In his opinion, it was just another Chanyuan alliance. The great Song Dynasty has not had any major destruction in the past few years, but it has a great sign of revival. However, Cai Jing's dismissal had a great impact on him.

Cai Bo snorted coldly: "It's true. The prime minister was framed by a traitor and retired."

Uncle Cai never expected that it would have changed so much after only one year of his trip to Jiangnan. When he left, Cai Jing was still at his peak. When he didn't want to return, he was dismissed.

Zhu Tixia sighed: "After all the achievements, the prime minister still retires, what can I do?"

Now Zhu Tieshi is still thinking about the credit. He originally collected this flower stone and made a great contribution. Who would have fallen into the river. He couldn't help but feel a wave of ominousness, which made Cai Bo lose his patience.

He shouted coldly: "Don't mention the credit again! If you want to survive, you will bite it to death. Flower stones are falling into the river!"

Seeing that Cai Bo's tone was stern, Zhu Tixia did not dare to say much. Cai Bo is Cai Jing's close relative. Even if a person like Cai Jing left the country, it would not be his crime. Besides, Cai Jing has not stepped down once or twice. Maybe it will be restored to his post in a short time. However, Zhu Tixia was very puzzled. Isn't falling into the river the same thing as losing? If the superiors pursued the matter, no matter how big the crime was, why would it be fine if it was said that it was falling into the river?

Uncle Cai was too lazy to explain, so he slowly got up, and Zhu Tixia quickly helped him.

Only then did Cai Bo regain some calmness and had a little patience to explain to Zhu Tixia: "If you fall into the river, you can fish it up again. If you don't catch it, you will have your own weighing. Falling into the river is not human, but monsters are responsible for the work. Do you understand?"

After saying this, Zhu Tixia suddenly became transparent.

"Is the monster referring to that mermaid?"

Cai Bo nodded: "Go and try the first trial!"

Zhu Tixia quickly responded, and he picked up the oil lamp on the table and shone the road.
