"Nothing can stop me. My yearning for freedom, my life is full of imagination, and my heart is full of no worries..."

On the bow of the boat, there was a male voice and a childish voice. The two of them sang together, but the same song was sung in two tunes.

Shangguan Wan'er asked Xue Chongxiu in wonder: "Where did you learn the minor tune? Guli is weird, and who sang the right song of this father and daughter?"

“No one sang correctly.”

Xue Chongxiu commented calmly, then carried a teapot to pour tea for Shangguan Wan'er: "Madam, Master, try it. This is a flower tea made of roses. It is functionally radiant, beautiful and nourishes the skin, and regulates blood and energy. Because the petals are rich in fragrance, drinking the lips and teeth will leave fragrance. I think it is easier to use than the chicken tongue fragrance and is better for the body."

"Is that so? I'll try it."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and picked it up and smelled it. The fragrance was so strong that it was added with honey. It was fragrant and sweet, which was a different taste than the tea soup.

The three women made a tea tasting together and chatted. On the other side, Zhang Changzong took the baby to play for a while. Seeing that her eyelids had begun to collapse, he saw that it was time to take a nap. He coaxed him in and gave it to the wet nurse to take a nap.

"Madam, Master, Xiu'er!"

Zhang Changzong jumped in with a smile, but didn't even look at it. He picked up Xue Chongxiu's water cup and drank it in one gulp of the cow. After the filling, he frowned and disgusted: "What kind of tea is this? It's sweet and fragrant? It's not delicious, let's change it to someone else."

Xue Chongxiu glanced at him in anger, but didn't say much, and just asked the people who were serving him next to him to bring him water again. Zhang Changzong was satisfied and sat casually, asking, "I just asked, I will be able to go to Yangzhou tomorrow. After so many days of boats, I can go down and take a walk. I asked A Song, A Liu and the others to accompany their wife and master to go down for a walk. Most of the fresh goods transported from Guangzhou are concentrated in Yangzhou, and then transported from Yangzhou to all parts of the country. There are many new things. We want to stay in Yangzhou for three days. The wife and master can take a good look. If you have any choice, I will send them."

Zheng waved his hand and drank tea quietly. Shangguan Wan'er curiously took out the map and looked at the place name on it: "Is Yangzhou here?"

Zhang Changzong leaned over and pointed to the map to explain: "Yes, it's here. Master sees that it's right on the edge of the Yangtze River. From Yangzhou, down the Yangtze River, it's the estuary. The inflowing ocean is called the East China Sea. From the estuary to the north, there are more places to go. Walk along the coast, you can go to Qilu, or you can continue northward, passing through Cangzhou, Goryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Japan. Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty conquered Goryeo, and the Taizong of this dynasty conquered Goryeo. During the Gaozong period, he joined forces with Silla to defeat Baekje, and sent troops from both water and land. This route was taken by the former Sui envoy Pei Wenlin to Japan."

Xue Chongxiu added: "This route is relatively mature, with many helmsmen, sailors, and navigators, and rich experience. We took this route from the beginning."

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, stared at the car picture carving, and asked again: "Where is Guangzhou? What route is it taking?"

Zhang Changzong clicked the map and said, "There are more places to go to Guangzhou, Master, please see."

Most of the sea ships departing from Guangzhou are ocean shipping, and there are several routes. From the South China Sea, follow the east coast of the Indochina Peninsula, cross the Gulf of Siam, and head south along the east coast of the Malay Peninsula. You can go to Sumatra and Java; you can also go from the Strait of Malacca, cross the Bay of Bengal to the southern end of the Indian Peninsula. From this route, you can go to the West Coast of the Indian Peninsula, walk from the West Coast of the Indian Peninsula, walk from the Khomuz Strait, go to the Arabian Peninsula, and then go from the Red Sea from the Arabian Peninsula, and go to the East African coast.

This route is the famous "Marine Silk Road" in later generations. As a half of the natives of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Changzong had been bombarded so many times in the news of later generations, so of course he knew it.

Zhang Changzong always thought that ancient navigation technology would not have great development until the Ming Dynasty. Without sufficient technology, it would be impossible to support Zheng He's seven voyages to the West. However, after checking the information, he realized that shipping was not unique to the Ming Dynasty and was already very hot in the Tang Dynasty.

After becoming an indigenous person of the Tang Dynasty, relying on his frequent visits and exits to the palace and being favored by the queen, he looked up a lot of books and materials collected in the palace. Based on what he knew in his previous life, he also found out and analyzed many things.

Xue Chongxiu is also a very economical person. He can see at a glance that the Tang Dynasty cargo warehouse and cabinet shop were very prosperous businesses. In addition, her mother was still Princess Taiping. If she wanted money and power, no matter which industry she joined, it would be easier than others. As she accumulated like this, she would invest in the shipyard when she had money, she would vigorously develop shipbuilding technology and prepare for ocean voyages.

Xue Chongxiu smiled and looked with a different look, and interrupted: "Our fleet, Goryeo, Silla, Baekje, Japan, and even the farthest Arabian Peninsula, the Indian Peninsula have all been back. After a year of preparation, before the monsoon season comes, I plan to send a fleet to the East African Peninsula this year. In order to strengthen the fleet, I and Liulang will be here in person."

Zhang Changzong also looked excited and nodded repeatedly: "That's right! I want to go on the coast of East Africa, but I don't know how many years it will take to come back, so I can't get rid of it, otherwise I can't go in person."

East Africa during the Tang Dynasty, Arabian Peninsula during the Tang Dynasty, and Indian Peninsula during the Tang Dynasty, just thinking about it makes me fascinated. I feel excited to witness history, but I hate him that I can't walk away!

Xue Chongxiu nodded in agreement with an excited and regretful expression. No wonder these two were so co-starred, and they all had a little fearless adventurous spirit in their bones.

Zheng smiled, shook his head, but didn't say much. Shangguan Wan'er was stunned. Looking at the excited couple, she asked puzzledly: "What are you so regretful? Isn't Liulang's purpose? Why has it turned into an ocean sailing again?"

Uh... How can this explain the sense of accomplishment of a prosperous career, successful career, and the excitement of creating a scene? However, it is really hard to say about the generation gap! Zhang Changzong and Xue Chongxiu looked at each other, and both of them felt a little painful when they didn't know where to start.

In Zhang Changzong's mind, being an official and leading troops to fight and become a general was just a job he had no choice but to do, but not his career, and so was Xue Chongxiu. In the minds of the two, sea transportation was the career they really were interested in and wanted to do in this Tang Dynasty.

Shangguan Wan'er's question made the two of them dimly ask. Zhang Changzong patted his forehead and explained: "Ocean shipping is an industry that we are particularly interested in. Xiu'er has invested a lot of energy and energy. Of course we are happy with results! Right? Xiu'er?"

Xue Chongxiu nodded with a smile. Even if they travel through time, they are still human beings. They are not so unique after traveling through time. Seeing through the world, they still have likes and dislikes, and there are things they particularly want to do. Both of them believe that protecting everything they care about is not inconsistent with wanting to participate in and develop shipping. Even if a good plan is planned, they can complement each other. While achieving the goal, they can also take into account their interests and develop their careers well. This is not inconsistent.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be half-spent from a basin of cold water, Shangguan Wan'er chuckled and said with relief: "It's great, it's really good. You two have been older than the children in the other places since childhood. No matter what you do, they are self-disciplined and hardworking. Now, they are so excited that they can't help themselves. This is the first time I have seen you. I think you really like this?"

The young couple nodded together, and they were very neatly lit. As quiet as Xue Chongxiu, his eyes were bright and his expression was slightly dreamy: "Master, Liulang and I want to leave our mark on this vast sea."

Zhang Changzong nodded. At this point, he and Xue Chongxiu were very in tune with each other. Both of them believed that in any situation, people should be kind to themselves, do what they want to do and like to do. Even in order to survive, Xue Chongxiu had to leave behind her favorite music and go to business. Zhang Changzong had to lead the troops in a armor and a knife, but these things did not hinder them from living a life they liked to live.

Because whether Zhang Changzong is a general or Xue Chongxiu goes to do business, it is essentially to make himself live a more comfortable and happier life, and to protect everything he cares about, but doing this does not mean that they have to give up on themselves and sacrifice everything. If that is the case, it is putting the cart before the horse.

Shangguan Wan'er was born with a delicate heart. If she didn't understand it before, she now understood it. She smiled again, her eyes were envious and moved, and she sighed: "It's great, no, it should be excellent. It's really great to have something you love, and I am the same."

Zheng also sighed with emotion on his face and said, "Now it seems that you and the two of you can live a clear understanding. You should learn from you."
