Chapter 764 Suhang
"Your Majesty, you have been hugging me for a long time, let me sleep in my hug!"

"Yourong, this place is already on the Grand Canal, you can no longer call me Your Majesty."

"Then how to call it, you can't just call it by name."

"It's good to call her husband, Zhen... I'll hug Yiyang for a while, she just fell asleep, and she hasn't slept well yet."

The boat moves very slowly on the Grand Canal, and sometimes in order to avoid ships, it also makes a short stop in the Grand Canal.

Li Zhi stood at the bow of the boat, watching the merchant ships on the Grand Canal pass by like weaving, and it was so lively.

After the completion of the Grand Canal, the traffic between the north and the south will become more and more dependent on this place. If you go by water, the cost of transportation will drop a lot, and the ships on the water can carry goods that cannot be compared with horse-drawn carriages on land.

This allowed the business of the Grand Canal to prosper day by day. By this time, many towns along the Grand Canal had sprung up because of the Grand Canal. Waterway traffic arteries in various places, towns grew from scratch, from small to large, like mushrooms after a spring rain.

In order to serve the merchants on the canal, even this canal has derived a special service ship. As for what kind of ship, I personally understand it.

No wonder a later poet would say.

Forget about this river in the Sui Dynasty, and it has been Lai Tongbo for thousands of miles.

The Sui Dynasty died for this river, and now, in less than a hundred years, the prosperity of this canal has witnessed the wisdom of Emperor Yang of that year.

Li Zhi is considered a beneficiary, at least now he doesn't have to suffer from the carriage and horses when he goes to the south of the Yangtze River. If he really took a carriage, he would not dare to come with the little princess in his arms, because the carriage and horses would be extremely bumpy.

Sailing during the day, or sleeping on the boat at night, or staying overnight in the inn on the shore, or even staying overnight on the boats that provide special services in the canal, of course, if the money is enough.

The convenient transportation brings about the rapid prosperity of both sides of the strait, and also speeds up the efficiency of north-south transportation.

A few days later, the big ship has arrived in the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou. It is the time of fireworks in March, and there are scenes of singing and singing, but there are always catkins flying in the sky that make people feel disturbed.

After going ashore, Li Zhi and Concubine Shu brought only two maids to accompany them, naturally they were the most trusted Xinruo and Yue'er.Concubine Shu is holding the little princess, a trio of wealthy families.

He randomly found a high-end inn here, and Li Zhi took two of the best rooms.

"Yourong, it seems that it's not a coincidence that you came here."

"Husband, why do you say that?"

"Didn't catch up with Misty Rain!"

"Fortunately, I didn't catch up. My husband may not know the rain in the south of the Yangtze River. Sometimes it doesn't bring sunshine all at once, and the most fearful thing is that it will last for several months. Yourong has encountered it a few times before, and the wooden furniture in the house is all bruised." Layers of mildew."

"It's really that serious, wouldn't it be possible to grow mushrooms at home?"

"Where mushrooms will grow, my husband will talk nonsense."

When Li Zhi was free, he took a maid to sit in the lobby below. When it was time for dinner, there were basically no vacancies here. The south of the Yangtze River is rich and rich, and Suzhou and Hangzhou are the richest.

Arriving here, Li Zhi has a deep understanding. From the place where he is sitting, he can see the flow of people on the street. People at several tables in the store are talking about various things. Li Zhi listened for a while, only in a few directions .

Examinations, business, official administration, ordinary people at this time can talk about some marginal state affairs, and the imperial court is not strict about this, and it can even be said to be very open.

In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere was open, not only in one aspect, but in all aspects.

After experiencing the turbulent years of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, the country was stable at this time, the government was clear, and the people could basically live and work in peace and contentment.

Listening to their discussion, Li Zhi knocked on the edge of the table unconsciously.

There were a few scholars sitting together, maybe because they had drunk too much, someone stood up and recited a poem, and everyone cheered.

When drinking, one old and one young walked in from the door, and by looking at their attire, no, by looking at the things in their hands, they knew they were singing.

Generally, when this kind of big inn is busy, there are always some entertainers who sing here to add to the fun, and ask for a few money for life by the way.

"Xinruo, how is she singing?"

"Your Majesty..."

As soon as the word "bi" was uttered, Xinruo hit his forehead. Along the way, he kept making mistakes. Look at Concubine Shu, how easy it is to call her husband now.

"Singing very well, son!"

In Li Zhi's hand, he took out several Kaiyuan Tongbao and awarded them to the father and daughter who sang the song.

It is not easy to ask for a living, but Li Zhi also rewarded copper coins according to the rules. If he really rewarded silver, it was not because of the lack of a few taels of silver, but because of money, sometimes too much would cause trouble.

Li Zhi listened here for a while, paid for the meal, and went upstairs.

In the past few days, Li Zhi has been like this, and there are occasional nasty things in the inn and on the streets outside, such as stealing and molesting women, such as bullies beating people in the street, but generally speaking, it is quite peaceful here .

As for the nasty things, there are no such things anywhere, as long as they don't make too much noise, Li Zhi will take a look.

On this day, Li Zhi saw someone molesting the little lady who was singing an opera. Several people tried to stop him, but the old man was kicked and lay on the ground unable to get up.

The two of them took the weeping little lady upstairs, and they didn't know which family's young master had taken a fancy to it, so blatantly in broad daylight.

"Let my daughter go, I beg you to let my daughter go, all the money will be given to you, all to you."

Unable to get up, the old man lay on the ground and hugged someone's leg tightly, begging.

"Who cares about your worthless money? To tell you the truth, my son has taken a fancy to you as a girl. This is a blessing for both of you, father and daughter."

"Sir, what should I do?"

"It's so blatant, it must have a lot of background!"

This was the first time that Li Zhi saw people robbing women in broad daylight so blatantly in this inn, Li Zhi got up straight away.

"Young master, look at your appearance, you are not a local! I advise you not to worry about this matter, these people are the Xiao family's servants, who can provoke the Xiao family in this area."

"Which Xiao family?"

"Which Xiao family is here in Jiangnan? It's best not to interfere with his family's affairs."

In just a short while, the evil slave kicked over the old man again and walked away.

Li Zhi saw this group of people went upstairs, and brought the maid upstairs as well.

Pushing open the door of his room, Li Zhi took the little girl in Concubine Shu's arms.

"Your Majesty, why is it so noisy outside?"

"Go take care of your family!"

Concubine Shu immediately realized something, and when she walked out of the room, the door of a guest room over there was kicked open, and the slaves outside the door saw this woman, so they dared not fart.

What a fart!This is my own lady, and I don't know why she appeared here.Shouldn't Miss be her Concubine Shu in Chang'an Deep Palace?How did you get to Jiangnan.

Don't say stop these house slaves, they dare not report a letter to their sons inside.
