Chapter 1066: People’s Livelihood Is Simple and Unaware
"Is it possible to pass through here without taking the mainstream? We are a ship sent by the imperial court to the front."
"Yes? Will Baishi's ship get stuck? We are bringing military supplies."
"I'll give you a penny to tell the truth and don't hit anyone. I believe it."
"I really give you money, thank you, you don't need to step on it."
"It's been several days. You're here and you're not going to work anymore?"
On the Yellow River, two boats were moving quickly, but I don't know how many tributaries and rivers there are. I would like to ask.
The other party said that through the tributary connection, he could reach the front in one breath.
They were asking the fishermen who set up shrimp pots at night. They asked for money and the other party wanted to beat them.
Then the other party's son got on the first boat and wanted to help guide the way and pedal together.
There are countless tributaries here, one of which is not considered to have been destroyed and changed, and the other is not part of the Little Ice Age. The weather is so warm that even Tubo can grow a large number of crops.
"Are you from the Tang Dynasty?" One of the people pedaling the boat got out of the way, and he wanted to pedal. If he didn't let him pedal, he wouldn't show him the way.
"Nonsense, I am not from the Tang Dynasty and I will care about your life and death? You almost entered the lake and you have to come back."
The young man pedaling the boat was the first time he played with this kind of boat and pedaled hard.
His leg muscle strength is not bad because his family uses a paddle boat.
The feeling of paddling is that the arms are paddling, but in fact, the feet and waist also need to use strength, especially when going against the current.
Now I am holding the handrails with my hands and stepping hard with my feet. It feels novel.
"Then do you know what the situation is now? Have Datang suffered any losses?" The man on the propeller boat asked about the situation.
"The Tibetans were driven away. In the past, when we came here, we had to give the Tibetans money and sometimes sell some things."
The locals did not shy away from the fact that they had transactions with the Tibetan people.
"What now? Are you making less money?"
"Now, when it comes to fishing, the Tubo people don't know how to fish. The fish there are pretty good. We give us things in exchange for fishing opportunities, but they don't catch us either..."
This person introduced the situation, not to mention that Tang Dynasty and Tubo were fighting fiercely.
In fact, local people can bribe the Tubo people through some means and then obtain benefits.
The Tubo tribe is near the water and can get benefits, so why bother to arrest people? If they are arrested, no one else will come.
The two sides formed such a balance, just like when Li Yi on the other side of the world said that the army of the world's most powerful country would fight in Afghanistan and then pay the protection fee for passing by.
Cooperation will not be affected during war, and you will pay what you have to pay.
"Can we arrive before dawn?"
"We'll be there in a moment. You don't know where you are now, do you?"
"We are transporting military supplies."
"Will I help if you don't need military supplies? I finally called. From now on, we, Datang, have the final say here. I can fish as much as I want."
"Is the battle fierce?"
"Where can we go to fight? The Tibetans have all run away."
"Ran?"
"The ones who were beaten and run away heard a rumble and rumble. I heard that someone called, oh, Tashi Kure. In the end, less than 300 people ran away.
Then when the other families saw that so many of you were beaten like this, let's run away too, and they all ran away.
Now we are shouting across the river to our troops, the wind should be better, blow westward, blow slowly, and the hot air balloons will go over and blow them up. "
"You still know this?"
"Who doesn't know? Let's draw a picture now, a picture of water. When we finish the drawing, we can tell the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty that they don't have to stare at the main stream of the Yellow River to launch a sneak attack."
"Is it okay not to go mainstream?"
"What are we taking now? To take the main stream, we have to go around from below. It takes more than 20 days. No, for your boat, it takes five or six days.
What kind of ship is this of yours, and why is it so fast? To sell or not? You can rent it, it’s like flying. "
"Rent a boat to fish?"
"My boat is enough for fishing. We want to send things to the Tang soldiers in front. Think about it, if we take it, we don't have to give benefits to Tibet.
We can fish as much as we want in the area occupied by our own people, and I can also go ashore to pick mushrooms. The mushrooms here are good. If I bring a bow and hunt two game animals, I will have meat to eat when I get home. "
"This boat can't do it, it's special."
"I know, we just want a steamboat with two big wheels. We saw it last time, and that one is pretty good. But the arms of the paddle boat are tired, and we don't have the strength to pull the bow when we row.
Walking against the current or on a smaller river is just as tiring. My family wants to hunt two more skins this year, as my nephew has just been born.
Before winter comes, make some clothes for him so that he doesn't freeze to death. Children get sick when they freeze. "
"I believe they are hunting when we get there. No matter how many skins they want, give them to our little nephew."
"Okay, I believe it. Most people don't want to see this boat. It belongs to Lijiazhuangzi?"
"Feathering Flying Cavalry."
"It's you. You agreed to give me the skin and I'll give it to my nephew. I won't take advantage of you. When you come over from now on, I'll watch the river at any time and help you lead the way."
"There are ten coins here, do you recognize it? If you do, take it."
"Admit it, but you can't take it. Do you look down on me? I want the skin to give to my nephew. You are Yulin Feiqi, with powerful bows and arrows, and excellent riding skills."
"Sure, when you get there, I'll hunt for you myself."
"That's what I mean. When I go to the place, I will cast two nets and give you fish to eat. If it weren't for my little nephew, I wouldn't want anything."
"and you……"
"We're here, no, don't fire your arrows, Fei Qiu, I'm a local from Tang Dynasty, come here with a torch." The local suddenly shouted.
There were sparks flickering over there just now, and he immediately understood that the other party was going to launch a rocket.
"Password!" shouted over there.
"How can I know the password? I'll bring the Imperial Guards." The locals were furious.
"ABCDE, Imperial Guards." The Imperial Guards on the boat shouted back.
"Wait." The other side responded.
"Will I be silenced?" The locals wanted to jump into the water.
"No, besides, you can't swim faster than us if you jump in. We have waterproof flashlights and water goggles."
"I'll pass if I shout this password in the future? I'll remember it, what should I do?"
"No, you'll know when you see it."
The cavalry came over with torches.
"Small group." The cavalry was the Imperial Guards.
"Old monkey, hurry up, two boats, three groups of sky-high monkeys on one boat." The people on the boat saw the other side's appearance.
"It's so damn fast. UU看书www.uukanshu.net Are you tired? Go quickly. We'll be there in a quarter of an hour. Stay close to this side. Tubo has been pushed to the other side of the river. "
"Do you have any skins? My brother's nephew is born. I don't have any good gifts. Give him a sheepskin and at least six rabbit skins."
"One yak skin, wait a minute."
A large yak skin was delivered, and it was also a large bundle after folding.
The guide stopped pedaling the boat and hugged it from the back, grinning foolishly.
This yak skin will be a great gift when the nephew is one month old.
The whole yak skin was spread on the ground, and the little guy was placed on it. It was considered a heaven and a earth.
The yak skin was too big, and it would be the nephew's property when he got married in the future.
A yak skin is equivalent to a house, and two people can sleep together.
With the sheep and leather given by others, life began to get going.
