Chapter 832 Rewards
The chilly spring breeze blows on the river.
From Shu, the Yangtze River is extremely steep. The name of the Three Gorges is daunting, but it still cannot stop the merchant ships that make money.
The two states of the Gorges are located in the Three Gorges. When the Three Gorges Dam was not built, the Yangtze River was extremely wide in sight. Even the curved Three Gorges boundary was like a big lake.
From Baidi City, Kuizhou to Nanjin Pass in Xiazhou, the total length is nearly 400 miles. The strange peaks on both sides of the road stand steeply, with cliffs facing each other. From west to east, it is Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge, and Xiling Gorge.
Since February of the fifth year of Shenwu, after Xingyuan Prefecture officially entered Shu, Xichuan and Badong Prefecture had Hanzhong as their gateway, and since then it has become the mainland without any harassment from war. As a result, Shu merchants have become increasingly diligent in their exchanges.
Although it was spring, there were no less than a thousand boatmen coming and going around the Three Gorges, each wearing short clothes, straw sandals, and shouting numbers, adding a lot of help to this prosperous business.
With the help of a boatman, ordinary boatmen can also slowly sail the boat, so that the boat will not be destroyed and people will die.
On this day, a blockage near Nanjin Pass suddenly started. Hundreds of merchant ships of all sizes were in the waterway, and they were unable to move in front and behind. Thousands of watermen had no choice but to get off the boat and search for some wineries and teahouses to eat in the low land along the coast.
People in nearby mountains and rivers are usually boatmen, but today they also ask their mothers to set up pot racks and cook some mountain delicacies, which makes a lot of money in vain.
At this time, two or three tall merchant ships suddenly came from behind the long fleet, with soldiers faintly visible on them, and a huge Pan-shaped flag fluttering in the wind.
Later, there were also flags with the words "Xichuan Recruitment Envoy, the Left Army Governor, the Zhongwu Army Governor, and the founding country Langzhou Marquis, which made everyone avoid it.
After a while, the crowded waterway forced a wide road to pass slowly.
"Boom--"
Suddenly, a huge roar came from Nanjin Pass, and many ripples appeared on the surface of the Yangtze River. All the watermen and boatmen were startled and returned to calm and started to eat as usual.
"Wen'er, go and see what's going on!"
On a giant ship, Pan Chongche was studying military books. Although he was cheerful and generous, he was a military general, but he cared more and more about studying in the past two years. The Song army was not without famous generals. The battle was becoming more and more difficult, and he had to study one or two before he could take on the heavy responsibility.
"Yes!" A thin boy, eleven or twelve, quickly responded.
He was the adopted son, heir and future heir adopted by Pan Chongche. To others, this adopted son was a scholar, which was very different from him.
Pan Chongche loved him very much and devoted a lot of effort to his practice of learning literature. Instead, he deliberately did it.
His merits are now second to none in the entire Tang Dynasty.
It would be fine if he was a eunuch, but he adopted his heir again, then both the court and the emperor would be extremely afraid of him, but he was reluctant to give up his achievements, so he wanted to take measures to make his adopted son's knowledge.
In this way, he could not inherit his power in the army, but he had a lot of care, which must be very suitable.
Pan Wen nodded and then took a few soldiers off the ship and started inquiring.
"See Yanei!" The boatman on the shore saw that it was a thin Yanei, and saw that he had come down from a large ship under Pan, and hurriedly saluted.
