The Grand Canal is surging and wide, stretching for thousands of miles. The mast sails on the river are like wind feathers, swimming back and forth on the vast river surface that is endless.

After leaving Lin'an Prefecture, Bo Yi's big ship flowed down the Grand Canal, with sails in full swing.

Along the way, from the bright sunshine to the bright moon and the sparse stars, the wind was smooth, and when the night was shrouding all over the fields, we had already arrived at the east bank of Taihu Lake in Pingjiang Prefecture.

A section of the Grand Canal from Lin'an Prefecture to Zhenjiang Prefecture is called the Jiangnan River, with a waterway of about 700 miles.

It probably goes from Lin'an Prefecture to the south, bypass the east bank of Taihu Lake, pass by Pingjiang Prefecture, and finally arrive at Zhenjiang Prefecture to cross the river. This section is also the busiest channel of the Grand Canal, with ships coming and sailing, and business connections are not stopped.

On the bow of the boat, Bo Yizhi and Lian Shanfu stood under the moonlight, looking at the endless spring in the south of the Yangtze River, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

"Along the way, there are fields crisscrossing by the canal, pink walls and black tiles, and mulberry trees and fields. Don't blame Wanyan Liang for saying that he would hit Jiangnan no matter what he said!" Lian Shanfu said in a low voice.

Bo Yizhi looked at everything in the distance and nodded, "Jiangnan has been a prosperous place since ancient times! Half of the world's taxes come from here, so we can support such a luxurious and wealthy Song royal family!"

"Yes, the water system in the south of the Yangtze River is open and there are endless merchants! Look at the goods in Lin'an Prefecture, it is really large and beyond the reach of the upper level!" Lian Shanfu sighed.

Bo Yizhi's eyes were set in the distance of the wider river bank, and the lights of others in the fields were already shining like stars.

In the south of the Yangtze River, due to the low terrain between the river and Qiantang River, lakes and lakes have been everywhere since ancient times and the water systems are complex. Canals connecting rivers and lakes have appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Later, after thousands of years of digging and dredging, the Jiangnan River began to look like this.

During the Daye period of Emperor Yang of Sui, this monarch, who seemed to be criticized by later generations, had created great achievements for future generations for descendants for generations.

He spent a lot of money to dredge and connect the old canals from Tongji Canal, Hangou, Yongji Canal and Jiangnan Canal, and finally achieved a smooth canal system between north and south.

However, after the Song royal family crossed south, because the Yellow River broke its dike in Yangwu, the Jin people allowed the Yellow River to flood, causing trouble to extend the Huai River. The Huai River often caused floods. The Huai River was changed from the canal to the south and eventually led to the Grand Canal.

The Tongji Canal section gradually became silted into land.

"However, the canal detours from the Huai River to the north and then passes through the Bian Canal, and finally goes to Dadu, and then transfers to land in the middle, which is really a bit of a mess! If you can directly connect Hangou and Yongji Canal and go down the river, you can save the journey.

More than one-third!" Bo Yizhi said in a deep voice.

This was his first trip to Jiangnan. He saw all kinds of scenery and people's livelihood along the way.

Let’s not talk about the others for now, the connected Grand Canal alone has become increasingly cramped due to frequent wars in recent decades.

Although the Jin Kingdom has been destroyed, the south of the Huai River is still a confidant of the Khan.

This war will break out one day, and then, probably the peaceful Grand Canal will cause bloody storms again.

Lian Shanfu turned his head to look at Bo Yizhi, with a little meaning in his eyes. He silently leaned closer and said, "Maybe one day, Bo Xiang can suggest this to Khan! At that time, all the wealth in the granary in Jiangnan will belong to my Great Mongolia.

country!"

Bo Yizhi glanced at him with a flat look, but his eyes were quiet and he didn't take his words. Then he turned his eyes calmly elsewhere.

Lian Shanfu pursed his lips, and a trace of light turned almost invisible to the corner of his eyes, and also turned his head to look at the water color on the river.

Their boats stopped in the water far away from the water yard. The night was sunken, and all the boats traveling far away rested.

Bo Yizhi and the others were chatting at the bow of the boat for a while, and then they all dispersed to rest.

Back in the cabin, Bo Yizhi did not stop immediately, and sat in front of the cabin pane again, looking up at the clear and bright moonlight, but inexplicably remembered that day, under the peach tree of the Zhenjiao Temple, he and Zhao Chonghuan were together.

Looking at the moonlight in Lin'an.

At that time, the crescent moon was like a string, hanging high above the top, as if it was reaching out to touch.

Just like the boy around you at that time.

Such a person who can be unforgettable!

But, is this boy a man or a woman?

Bo Yizhi sighed softly, maybe in this life, he will be trapped by this problem and cannot extricate himself.

After sitting silently for a moment, he turned around and lie down on the couch.
