The days of sailing on the river are actually quite boring. Although it is a new type of magnolia boat that can carry six or seven hundred people, it is far inferior to many ordinary diesel fishing boats in later generations.

The cabin was small and not fast, and the driving experience brought by the hard sails was not very good. The wind on the river was a little stronger and it was already shaking. Li Xiao couldn't imagine what the ship would be like when it arrived at the sea.

But the elder Wangtou said that the improved Mulan ship was already quite good, which made him speechless.

However, the only advantage of sailing on the river is that you can taste a lot of fresh rivers.

When you are sailing and fishing, the Yangtze River is really pollution-free at this time, the water surface is extremely clear and there are many fish in the river. With one net, you can always catch a lot of fish. Even if you are bored, you can jump into the river to take a bath and swim.

Steam, braised, boiled, stewed in a large pot, fried...

The bored Li Xiao simply acted as a chef. His skills were nothing to say. The 200 people on the boat, except for Zhao Chiman, were all left to eat the fish made by Li Xiao every day.

Today I caught a lot of fish, which were very fat and fresh. Li Xiao directly asked a few teenagers to chop the fish into large pieces, then add some ginger and cook it in a large pot, then throw some green onions and some chili down.

On the edge of the large iron pot, bake a ball of dough cakes on it.

When the fish tastes good, the cake is cooked. The cake is soaked in delicious fish soup and big chunks of fish meat, which tastes so refreshing.

"Mr. Lang, let's talk about another chapter on the Gods' List."

A group of guys sat on the deck with shirtless weather. The weather was hot and the bilge was hotter, so it was still cooler on the deck. Unfortunately, the deck was not big, so I could only take turns to come up to eat and cool down.

While eating, listening to Li Xiao’s talk about the Gods List was their biggest hobby these days. Especially when they were practicing, they felt that they were the most enjoyable.

"Where did you talk about yesterday?"

"I talked about the wine pond and meat forest." Someone said immediately.

Li Xiao smiled, and while petaling a piece of bread, he began to talk about the List of Gods. Telling this story is not completely boring. When he left the capital, he promised to pass through the Shengguan Temple of the Daozong and Yuse. After leaving the capital, he would continue to send the manuscript of the List of Gods back to Chang'an to ensure that the newspaper was serialized.

"The book is followed last time......"

Li Xiao said, and then a group of people listened below, and someone was responsible for recording. Li Xiao would do a check, make some additions and modifications, and then send them back to Chang'an. Now he is used to being a hand-off manager, and he has no time or interest in writing the Gods' List himself.

After one chapter of the book, the guys were reluctant to leave and went down to the cabin. It was time to change to another person to come up to have a meal and listen to the story. However, Li Xiao only talked about it once in each chapter. The second chapter was usually taught by two young men Zhang Cong or Liu Suan who copied the books for him. What they said was not as good as Li Xiao, but it was better than those who didn't.

"Sanlang, it's not far ahead to Yangzhou." Zhao Chiman came over.

“So soon?”

"This ship is fast, and Lao Wangtou's skills are good. He drove the ship very fast and was sailing all night long. He wished he could go out to sea to try the power of this ship right away."

Li Xiao looked at the vast river surface ahead and couldn't help but sigh, "With a hundred thousand sticks, I rode a crane to Yangzhou, and Yangzhou, which is rich in Jiangnan, is about to arrive."

"Yangzhou Governor Fang Renyu has sent a boat to greet him."

Fang Renyu was the late clan brother of Fang Xuanling. He was Wang Shichong in his early years and later changed to the Tang Dynasty. He served as the governor of Shizhou, the governor of Shanzhou, and the governor of Yangzhou. When Li Xiaogang discovered that he had traveled through time last year, his predecessor was actually chased by the soldiers of this governor of Fang.

At that time, in Jiangnan, Wuzhou Governor Cui Yixuan and Fang Renyu attacked Chen Shuozhen's rebel army from south to north, strangled the rebels composed of the hungry people who were affected.

Fang Renyu was the chief minister of Yangzhou last year. Later, he was implicated in the case of Fang Yiai's rebellion and was exiled to Lingnan. As a result, the case changed again not long after. Even Fang Yiai's brother Fang Yizhi recalled the capital to restore the Duke of Liang State, and Fang Renyu was restored. He was promoted to the governor of Yangzhou with his achievements in quelling the rebellion last year.

If it weren't for Fang Renyu and Cui Yixuan, Li Xiao wouldn't have been chased and fled and died in the end, and Li Xiao wouldn't have had the chance to come to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xiao was not grateful to Fang Cui and the others, but only disgusted.

"The wife of the governor Fang is the Wang family in Taiyuan." Zhao Chiman reminded him again.

The Wang family in Taiyuan was unattainable before, but now it has a bit of a rat crossing the street. Queen Wang was deposed and the former father-in-law Wang Youren was demoted to a commoner and exiled to Lingnan, which caused great trouble to the Liu family in Hedong and Cui family in Xuzhou.

Fang Renyu was demoted to Lingnan because of his nephew Fang Yiai's rebellion. He was lucky and was recalled halfway.

But now I don’t want something happening to Wang’s family in Taiyuan, my wife’s family, and it’s really raining all night.

Fortunately, Fang Renyu's wife is the queen's aunt, and she is closer to Li Xiao's brother Wang Fangyi, and she is Wang Fangyi's aunt.

Fang Renyu also knew that the Chang'an earthquake had caused the Taiyuan Wang Empress to collapse.

Li Xiao is the emperor's favorite minister, which is well known to everyone, and Li Xiao and Wang Fangyi are sworn brothers. Fang Renyu couldn't help but seek medical treatment at this time, and even Li Xiao didn't let him go, wanting to get along everywhere.

"How is the governor of the House?"

"There is a good reputation, honest and fair person, and has a lot of officials, and has many officials and lands. He has always had a good reputation." According to Zhao Chiman, if it weren't for a brother named Fang Xuanling, Fang Renyu would have been in the court as the Minister of the Shangshu or the Nine Ministers long ago.

It was just because Fang Xuanling was afraid of criticism that he had always suppressed his brother before, allowing him to serve as the governor in various places for many years.

However, although the governor of Yangzhou is also a governor, he is not an ordinary governor. Although Yangzhou is not one of the three capitals of the Tang Dynasty, it is richest in the southeast, and its wealth is even higher than that of the northern capital Taiyuan and the eastern capital Luoyang. It can also show that his ability is recognized.

"Are you familiar with Wuzhou Governor Cui Yixuan?" Li Xiao asked suddenly.

"Guoshi Cui was born in the direct lineage of the Cui family in Qinghe. He joined Li Mi at the end of the Sui Dynasty and later advised Li Mi to return to the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of Zhenguan, he served as the doctor of the Left Secretary. He once had the chief of the Han Palace. After ascending the throne, he was appointed as the governor of Wuzhou." Zhao Chiman was quite familiar with Cui Yixuan's situation.

Li Xiao’s expression was not very good.

"I traveled to Jiangnan and returned to Guanzhong last year. When I was in Jiangnan, I saw Cui Yixuan with his own eyes the cruelty of the hungry people who led his troops to guard the rebellious hungry people. He tyrannically and brutally killed and changed the people, just like Zhu Can."

Zhu Can was also a rebel king at the end of the Sui Dynasty. This man was famous for his fierceness and cruelty, and was capricious. He loved to kill and even slaughter people the most. He once called himself Emperor Chu at the end of the Sui Dynasty. He led a rebel army to swarm the people everywhere and attacked cities and land everywhere, like locusts.

This person is different from Li Mi, Dou Jiande and other anti-kings. This person has no intention of managing and has no intention of truly establishing a regime. He is just a robber and a murderous demon king. He knows that he robs and kills people everywhere, and does not farm, or guards the city or base. Anyway, it is like locusts. He robs wherever he goes, and eats all the land and goes downstairs, killing people as military rations.

Although Cui Yixuan was born in the Cui family in Qinghe, he was also easy to kill.

He led his troops to encircle Chen Shuozhen's rebel army, which was very cruel and killed as soon as he caught it. He once killed thousands of people at one time, not even letting go of women, children and children. He was most hated among the rebel army.

When Li Xiao was surrounded and suppressed by the Tang army of the north and south. If Cui Yixuan hadn't killed him so hard, many people would have thought of surrendering, but who dared to surrender when he killed prisoners?

"Cui Yixuan's reputation is indeed not very good." Zhao Chi said. He didn't like people like Cui Yixuan very much. If you have the ability, go to the border to defend the border country and fight against the Northern Barbarians and Eastern Captains. Can you kill all the hungry people who have no food to eat after the disaster and have to rebel?

That is, those who are so cruel.

"I don't like Fang Renyu, nor Cui Yixuan, so I don't see anyone. We pass by Yangzhou without entering, and sail directly to the sea and sail along the coast to Dengzhou." Li Xiao sighed, and many scenes of the first arrival of the Tang Dynasty flashed in his mind.

At that time, two troops of Fang Renyu and Cui Yixuan were surrounded and swept the north and south. Li Xiao and his rebels fled everywhere like stray dogs all day long, and people were captured every day.

It was better to fall into Fang Renyu's hands, but when it fell into Cui Yixuan's hands, they were basically cut off and were taken to the bastard for credit.

"Has the governor Fang met, either? He has sent someone to welcome him by boat."

"not see."

"Then what's the reason?"

"Just say I'm in a hurry to go to the sea to go east to take office."

Fang Xuanling's brother is not Fang Xuanling. After the last rebellion case of Fang Yiai, the Fang family was finally pardoned by the emperor, and only Fang Yiai was killed. The others were pardoned and even regained their posts. However, the Fang family was no longer as good as they were back then.

If you really want to blame, you can only blame Fang Xuanling for choosing the wrong way back then. Fang Xuanling chose marriages from various places. He married the daughter of the Fanyang Lu family among the five surnames, and his brother Fang Renyu took the Wang family in Taiyuan, and his eldest son Fang Yizhi married the Du family in Jingzhao, the second son Gao Yang, the princess Shang Taizong, the third son married the daughter of King Jing Yuanjing, and the fourth son married the Wu family in Jiangnan.

One of the two daughters is married to King Han and the other is married to the son of Zheng, Xingyang.

The brothers and nephews of other branches of the Fang family also married famous relatives of the noble family, causing his relatives to be married to the court and the country.

He himself is the prime minister. He has been in power for decades and has been spread all over the world with his disciples and former officials. It is already a taboo to engage in marriage like this.

After all, he is just the prime minister, not Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong can marry all the prime ministers and ministers of the court, but if you, a minister, do this, you will be a little over.

This is also the fundamental reason why Changsun Wuji immediately cleaned the Fang family after Emperor Taizong died and after Li Zhi came to power.
