Chapter 176 The stranger on the river

The weather is gloomy and the cold wind is thrilling.

Su Yang was wearing a straw raincoat and a hat, and rowing a boat down slowly. The boat was only more than ten feet long. There was a cabin in the middle, blocked by thick curtains in front and back. Yan Ruyu was huddling inside, without taking jewelry in the City God Temple, and bought another boat, buying local duck eggs, ducks, and daily necessities from Qinyou. Su Yang, who resigned from his job and had no ancestral property, gradually felt that poverty was approaching.

My adopted son hasn't paid me for several months.

Su Yang rowed a boat and said in his heart.

It is already mid-September now. Because the weather is not good, the smoke blocks the sky on the river, and the color is lost everywhere. The cold wind blows, making Su Yang feel cold.

Ruyu, let’s figure out whether we can make money in Yangzhou.

Su Yang said: I can't even afford your salary, you won't leave me.

Yan Ruyu, who was in the cabin, laughed and said: Since I have followed you, I will naturally share the joys and sorrows. A little poverty will not let me run away. I will not leave unless you drive me away.

That's good

Employees don’t have to pay wages, but Su Yang is worry-free. As a leader, his favorite is Yan Ruyu, a conscious subordinate.

After leaving Qinyou, the next stop is Yangzhou. Su Yang planned to make some money in Yangzhou and then go to Jinling. As for the ability to make money, Su Yang can cure diseases, sell characters, and even open the tongue to know, and give a storytelling to the fellow villagers in Yangzhou. However, in comparison, it is naturally the most profitable to cure diseases.

The rice is ready.

Yan Ruyu shouted in the cabin.

Su Yang put down the oars and walked into the cabin. The cabin was not big, and there was a table, a stove, and a pot of orchids bought in Gaoyou. As for the bedding where you stayed at night, it was rolled aside.

On the table were steamed silver carp, two bowls of rice, dried fruits bought in Gaoyou, half a duck, two duck eggs, and warm wine on the stove. The inner capsule is empty and the living standard has not yet declined. How similar to the Jia family before the bankruptcy.

At that time, Su Yang said: Green water rice, fragrant rice, green purses and purple scales, and he still enjoys himself in it, and he wants to be true to me.

Life is really good!

Yan Ruyu looked at Su Yang and saw Su Yang dressing up in a straw raincoat, she couldn't help but say: You are not afraid of the cold, why should you wear such a heavy dress and wrap yourself tightly?

hehe.

Su Yang took off his straw raincoat and said: This is called not leaving the masses.

Yan Ruyu smiled and shook her head.

When you arrive in Yangzhou, you will cover up your appearance.

Su Yang said to Yan Ruyu: If I make money, I will take you around Yangzhou and let you see how the book village in Yangzhou is.

Yangzhou has always been the center of culture and commerce. Marco Polo's travel notes said: When he came to Yangzhou, he almost thought he had entered a fairyland. In Yangzhou, all industries were prosperous and the cultural atmosphere was excellent. In history, there were cultural people like Bai Juyi, Du Mu, Ouyang Xiu, and Su Shi. If according to normal history, in a few years, the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou would appear here.

The book town in this place is naturally unusual.

After hearing this, Yan Ruyu nodded naturally. She was able to go to places like Yangzhou and see the book town here, so she naturally had no objection.

Speaking of Yangzhou, Su Yang couldn't help but laugh again: The ancient poem said it well, I have to ride a crane to Yangzhou. Now I am going to Yangzhou, but I have to think about making money first.

When truly rich people arrive in Yangzhou, they buy luxury houses, squandering from the Grand Canal to the West Lake.

Maybe you can ask the God of Wealth to learn the technique of turning stones into gold from him. After learning it, you will walk on earth to help you with your causes and conditions, and you will never be bound by money again.

Yan Ruyu gave Su Yang an idea.

Many Taoist alchemists can do the ability to turn stones into gold, but if they use them, they will inevitably have the answer from the God of Wealth. Otherwise, if they use the stones into gold, they will be deducted corresponding blessings and honors, which is equivalent to using their own blessings to enjoy themselves. If they give them the money to turn stones into gold, they will also cause disasters, and they can only be avoided unless they can do more good deeds.

A post from "Zhen Sheng" in a Chinese Studio specifically talks about this matter. Zhensheng's money that was made into gold was taken away by Jia Sheng, and he was really criticized by the God of Fortune. Fortunately, Jia Sheng has been accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, which has saved Zhensheng from punishment.

No need.

Su Yang smiled and said: When I come back from Jinling, I will be a little god of wealth.

All Chen Yang's military expenditure was swept away. This large amount of money was enough to marry Chunyan Jinse and still have a surplus. Jinse married him, and Guyuan was his own. The money earned by the Weaver Girl Spinning Machine also fell into Su Yang's hands. He would never have such a dilemma.

Dingdang

Yan Ruyu held the copper coin in her hand and raised a divination, saying: The God of Wealth is not optimistic about you.

I usurped the throne and printed money by myself!

When the two of them were talking, they also started to eat. Although Yan Ruyu's skills were not as good as Sun Li, the food she cooked was also quite good. After eating a few bites of food and drinking a sip of hot wine, I really felt the freedom of the fisherman in the poem I just read.

After dinner, Yan Ruyu washed it inside, and Su Yang once again wore a straw raincoat to the outside of the cabin. After a while, it began to drizzle outside again. Su Yang's hand swayed the pulp, but he did not use his true energy, but he was shaking it gently for a long time.

When practicing Taoism, what is Tao?

The principle of nature of everything is Tao.

Just like this rowing, there is a rowing path. Su Yang has now vaguely grasped this threshold.

Little man

The boatman arrived beside Su Yang at some point, and the boat was oaring a little, pushing Su Yang a little, and the boat just happened to escape the dark stone under the river.

Su Yang's oar hit the stone, and he knew that it was this person who helped him, so he quickly looked at it.

The boater rowing on the boat was a boatman in his forties. He was wearing a coarse cloth short jacket, but he was very energetic. He was holding a boat in his hand and was walking side by side with Su Yang's ship. He said: When rowing, you must be focused and not be tempted.

Su Yang listened to the teachings and asked about this person until the boss finished speaking.

What is the name of a father-in-law?

Su Yang asked with a smile.

The surname is Zhang.

The boatman replied: I have been rocking the boat in Zhenjiang for decades. Now, the official warships are shaking around on the Zhenjiang River. I cannot be quiet there, so I escaped here to hide from the quiet.

It's quite elegant.

What is the official ship doing on Zhenjiang?

Su Yang asked, Could it be that the King of Qi discovered Chen Yang's traces and wanted to deal with the true prince before Su Yang.

have no idea.

Boatman Zhang shook his head and said: Since ten years ago, officials have been patrolling here. They seem to be looking for something, but more and more people come in, and they are noisy all day long, without a moment of leisure.

I started looking for it ten years ago, so the one I was looking for must not be Su Yang, and it has nothing to do with me, so Su Yang felt relieved.

So, according to you, can the waterway from Yangzhou to Jinling still be taken?

Su Yang asked.

Can leave.

Boxer Zhang said: The official family has a road for the official family, and we have our own path. We can completely avoid the official family and go to Jinling along the waterway. Do you mean it?
