Chapter 281: Gangneung Wharf!
"Are you in Jiangling so soon?" Li Yin was a little surprised. Although he knew that the speed of this yacht was very fast, it was too fast. The distance between Jiangling and Yizhou is about 1,000 miles, and it takes 20 hours. It\'s here. According to this speed, it only takes two or three days to reach Ryukyu. This yacht is really not worth it. Li Yin thinks this way, after all, time is life.
"It\'s only half the speed. Because we are worried about the danger of driving in the inland river, we only control the speed of the yacht at half. When we reach the sea, we can sail without hindrance." At this time, Li Ran\'s voice came Come.
Li Yan was silent when he heard the words, as expected, technology is king.
"Let\'s eat on the pier!" Li Yin made a decision. Since the Tang Dynasty, his life circle has been on a route from Chang\'an to Yizhou. At this time, he really wants to see what other places look like. , and Jiangling Wharf is also one of the most prosperous wharves on the Yangtze River transportation line. Seeing Li Yin coming out, the guards immediately contacted through the walkie-talkie to form a tight protection net to protect Li Yin. The guards in the front row went to the pier and began to disperse the crowd on the pier. At this time, Li Yin began to regret again. But compared to the time saved, the embarrassment of being surrounded by people is nothing. Besides, what they are really curious about is the yacht, not just a few of them.
Squeezing out of the crowd under the protection of the guards, the whole picture of Jiangling Wharf appeared in front of Li Yin\'s eyes. As the merchants in Yizhou said, the prosperity of Jiangling Wharf is not inferior to that of Yizhou. As a transit point between Yizhou and Yangzhou, the business of Jiangling Wharf mainly focuses on food and accommodation. Warehousing is the main focus, because many merchants choose to hand over goods, eat, and stay here, and then continue on the road the next day. Li Yin and the guards only walked a short distance and passed many residential buildings.
"Your Highness, I have inquired. The most famous restaurant here is called Yuxiaolou. It is not far away, and it is said that our Yizhou dishes are available there, and the ingredients used are all bought from Yizhou. Your Highness might as well go there to eat." Wu Wei left for a while and came back soon, but went to inquire about news. Wu Wei heard the words and said: "Then wait a moment, Your Highness, I will go to the restaurant to book a table now, it is said that the business there is very good. Every day there are too many people to eat."
Li Yin nodded, although the single room on the speedboat is also very comfortable. But staying inside all day long is also very stuffy, and now I can walk around when I come out. To get some fresh air, he took Liu Yanyu for a casual stroll around the Jiangling pier while admiring the beautiful scenery here.
"Your Highness, this Jiangling Wharf is very prosperous, but I always feel that this place is different from Nanhe Wharf. I can\'t tell you what the difference is. It\'s really strange." After being trafficked from Silla to Yizhou, she stayed in the boat and never saw the scenery along the way. When she was in Yizhou, she just stayed in the palace and never went to other places. At a glance, she was still very impressed, and she said after comparing it with Jiangling Wharf.
Li Yin\'s eyes flicked over those sweaty, ragged dock workers with miserable faces, and he said: "Although this place is prosperous, the people are very poor. Not only a few pennies, but also being exploited by the government and bullied by those wharf bullies." Li Yin\'s eyes finally stopped on a dock laborer who was really beaten by Jiangling Wuhou.
Following Li Yin\'s gaze, Liu Yanyu showed a sympathetic look, as if remembering something, her eyes were slightly red, and she said, "Your Highness, can we help that person?"
"Why? People like this here are like this, we can\'t help you enough." Li Yin looked at Liu Yanyu suspiciously.
"This reminds me of my father. He also worked as a contractor on the pier. In order to support our family, his waist was deformed by the pressure, and the pain was unbearable at night." Liu Yanyu said sadly.
Since coming to the palace, Liu Yanyu has never revealed her life experience, but she did not expect to open her heart today, "Then how did you get trafficked to the Tang Dynasty?" Li Yin continued to ask.
"Because of the long-term work, my father still had problems with his waist, but he still went to the pier secretly to make a living without telling us. The doctor said that it would cost a lot of money to treat him, and he couldn’t continue to do this kind of heavy work after he was cured. In order to treat my father, I went to a human trafficker, because it is said that Silla maidservants are very popular in the Tang Dynasty, so I... "Speaking of this, Liu Yanyu shed tears.
Another poor person, the sentence that I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in a troubled world is really not nonsense. In such an era, human life is really worthless, "So that\'s it, don\'t cry, maybe later you How about going back to Silla to meet your father!"
"Really!" Liu Yanyu, who was sobbing softly, suddenly raised her head, then lowered her head dejectedly, and said, "Your Highness must be joking with this servant."
Li Yin said seriously: "This king is not joking. Now our fleet in Yizhou is sailing freely on the sea, and we can go anywhere. Maybe I will go to Silla to meet your queen! Then you will You can go home and visit relatives." Li Yin narrowed his eyes with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Yanyu revealed an excited expression, and couldn\'t help grabbing Li Yin\'s hand: "Please, Your Highness, please go to Silla!"
Li Yan was taken aback, feeling the girl\'s smooth skin, his heart skipped a beat, looking at Liu Yanyu\'s and Lin Yuner\'s almost similar faces, he couldn\'t help but sigh in his heart: "This girl is really beautiful!"
As if feeling something wrong, Liu Yanyu pulled her hand back, her heart was beating wildly, her face was covered with red, and she became more and more charming.
At this embarrassing moment, the people who were beaten by Marquis Wu suddenly let out a scream. It turned out that Marquis Wu pulled out a knife and stabbed the people in the leg. Li Yin finally couldn\'t stand it anymore, why? It is said that he also has a moral yardstick in his heart, and after this limit, he can\'t ignore it.
"Stop!" Li Yin shouted when that Marquis Wu was about to stab him a second time.
This powerful shout stunned everyone on the pier. This Marquis Wu was a first-class bully on the pier. Later, he spent money to wear official uniforms. As long as they refuse to pay the protection fees of these wharf contractors, they will be beaten and kicked, and no one dares to provoke them.
Hearing this voice, Marquis Wu turned his head, showing a ferocious face. No one here dared to talk to him like this. He looked at Li Yin, then at the dozens of guards around Li Yin, his eyes finally stopped On Liu Yanyu\'s body, a hint of obscenity suddenly appeared, and he said: "My lord, at first glance, you are a rich family, why bother with the life and death of this dog slave, no one who meddles in this pier is good It\'s the end." Facing the dozens of guards behind Li Yin, he showed no fear.
This is a ruthless character. Li Yin thought to himself that he couldn\'t see any fear in the eyes of this bully, and his evil temper immediately came up. He said: "If I have to take care of it, you take this... What about me?"
With a sneer, the bully said: "Do you know who I am? Don\'t think that with a few guards, you have the final say here. Don\'t leave the pier if you annoy me." I thought Li Yin was just passing by business trip.
"Bold!" As soon as his words fell, the guards around Li Yin finally couldn\'t bear it anymore, and drew their knives out of their sheaths one after another. As long as the bully said another word, the horizontal knives would be bloody.
The bully\'s face suddenly darkened, and he felt a little uneasy. These guards were too fierce. They were definitely not the guards brought by ordinary business travelers.
"Okay! I\'ll bypass him once for this untouchable!" The bully backed away slowly, he believed that if he continued to bump into this rich man, the guards would kill him mercilessly.
After the bully with the identity of Marquis Wu left, Li Yin checked the contractor\'s injuries, and asked the guards to give him two hundred coins to let him go back to see the wounds. To bring him more trouble, enough is enough.
After going through this incident, Li Yin was also in a very unhappy mood. At this moment, Wu Wei rushed over and said that he had already reserved the restaurant and asked Li Yin to eat.
Li Yin wanted to eat early and leave early. This place is not Yizhou after all, so as not to get in trouble, so he followed Wuwei to the inside. On the way, Wuwei was very angry when he learned about the incident on the pier, saying that as long as he was there, he must let the bully go. After suffering, Li Yin just shook his head and remained silent.
After a while, a group of people arrived at the Yuxiao Tower, which is known as the most luxurious in Jiangling City. Li Yin looked inside, and it was indeed crowded with merchants, but when Li Yin saw the pair of poems on both sides of the restaurant, he was stunned. !
