Chapter 103: The true nature of a man

The Grand Canal, a Grand Canal that has been dug to Dahua for nearly two years, is more than 3,000 miles long. It starts from Shuntian Prefecture in the north and goes to Hangzhou Prefecture in the south, flows through Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and runs through five major water systems of Haihe River, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River, and Qiantang River. It goes straight from the North China Plain to the Yangtze River Delta. The terrain is flat, rivers and lakes intertwined, and fertile fields are thousands of miles long. Since ancient times, it has been the main grain, cotton, oil, sericulture, and hemp production area in China. The Grand Canal is densely populated, densely populated, and towns, and has developed commerce. It can be said to be the most important river area in the Central Plains. Big cities such as Tianjin Wei are gradually formed because of the Grand Canal.

The most interesting thing is that the flow directions of the various sections of the Grand Canal are different. The section from the capital to Tianjin Wei flows southward, while the section from Tianjin Wei to Dongping Lake in Tai'an, Shandong flows northward. Therefore, Zhuo Bufan and his party took a horse from Tianjin Wei to board the boat, and they went upstream along the way until they passed the Dongping Lake area and went southward again.

It was safe and sound when you passed Hebei and Shandong until you passed Xuzhou. However, it made Zhou Tongxiao nervous when passing through Dongping Lake, because it was the famous place where the Liangshan gathered and righteousness. It has been a place where water bandits have been there since ancient times. Fortunately, I didn’t see any thief. Thinking of the thief, Zhuo Bufan thought of the thief being chased by bandits known as the Eight Kings. It was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Zhuo Bufan recorded the tobacco-smelling Lao Budhi in Taiyuan City. Sooner or later, I will return to Taiyuan to talk to you about the past.

Zhuo Bufan is much more relaxed and happy along the way than Zhou Tong. This time he left the capital and left home. In addition to being reluctant to leave, he felt more free and happy with the sky and the sea leaping. In the future, he can truly work hard in this different world according to his own wishes, and there is another beautiful/girl/mother by his side. Fu Wansheng is the first beauty in this world who plans to stay together forever. He has come into contact with many beauties. Princess Changping is a master who can only see from a distance. Xiao Yuhuan is charming, but after all, a brothel woman is missing now.

The beauty of swordsman is still a dream and doesn't even know her name. Little Lingdang is a hidden pain in her heart. If she doesn't do it well, she has returned to Hami now. Only Fu Wanting, who is a very talked with her, is now with her side. The only thing that is the only drawback is that she has a very annoying big light bulb beside her, Fu Hong. This girl is staring at her tighter than Wanting's parents. She doesn't let her go to Lei Chi for a step, saying that she must wait until the wedding night can only hand over her lady to herself. Damn, should she take a chance on the road and sell this girl?

Of course, this is just Zhuo Bufan's resentment. Fu Wansheng deeply agrees with Fu Hong's concern and is also a very opinionated person. It seems that this bottom line must be adhered to, but this does not prevent the two from enhancing their relationship and talking about a beautiful life.

Zhuo Bufan and Fu Wansheng talked a lot along the way, and even told her a lot about her time. She felt that this freedom of ancient times was satisfying, but Fu Wansheng was fascinated by his advanced world. Of course, she did not tell her that she was from that distant future world. Even if Fu Wansheng was smart and intelligent, she might not be able to accept this. Moreover, as she lived in this world for a longer time, she gradually felt like a dream in her previous life.

"Bufan, that world is so good." Fu Wanxuan snuggled beside Zhuo Bufan. Now, she seemed to fall in love with Zhuo Bufan's shoulder and sitting on the bow of the boat. The world in Zhuo Bufan's mouth, China has no war or hunger, there are four wheels walking like a flying carriage, and there are iron-skinned birds that can carry hundreds of people to fly in the sky. It is really like a fairy tale world.

"Yes, the beauties in that world are not like now. They don't go out of the door without going out. Then they are more sexy than who wears less clothes, tsk tsk." Zhuo Bufan smacked his lips and smiled.

"Oh." Fu Wanen's face turned red and she covered her mouth and smiled: "Can their husbands be happy?"

"Well, they might not be happy about this, but they would not be happy either. It is a society where men and women are equal."

"Men and women are equal? ​​It's so good." Fu Wansheng's eyes flashed again with a light of longing and murmured: "All things are born and men and women are divided into different worlds. Why are there always different levels?"

"Uh", Zhuo Bufan looked at the beauty/girl/mother around him, and sighed in his heart that this wife looked like a philosopher. In his own era, she was an amazing woman. Because she talked about women's issues, Zhuo Bufan then said: "Yes, in that world, women also have to work, advocate equality between men and women, and men can only marry one wife..." As soon as he said that, Zhuo Bufan realized something was wrong.

Sure enough, Fu Wansheng's eyes were bright and he said happily: "Really? That's really, very good..." As he said, he looked at Zhuo Bufan with some resentment, "If we were too good in that world, you only have me, I only have you, I will serve you for the rest of my life, and you will never share your kindness to others. Since ancient times, the popular love has been a story of two men and women, White Niang Xu Xian, Seven Fairies and Dong Lang, turning into butterflies and flying together, aren't it all like this?"

Looking at Fu Wansheng, Zhuo Bufan was almost slapped himself in the face. It would be fine if he was a dedicated person, but from his previous life to this life, he knew that he was not such a person. He was the one who was willing to plant more big trees and expect the beautiful scenery of the forest to look forward to the ancient polygamy life. He was a little fickle, but this was his true thoughts and personality. Moreover, this was not in ancient times, and it was an era that was in line with his true nature. It was not that he didn't love it, but it was okay to love a few more.

"This, this, is not the case." Zhuo Bufan scratched his head and said, "That world also has its hypocritical side. Most men are lustful and fickle. Although the law of that world stipulates monogamy, many men will secretly raise mistresses outside when they have money. Well, they are secret wives. The more money they have, the more they will raise. Moreover, because these mistresses and fours are not protected by the law, they will have many very serious social problems!"

"Ah? Yes, what's the problem?" Fu Wanen said in surprise.

"You think, the mistresses must also want to be justified like the one in the family, right? Don't say that many women are just greedy for money. As long as they have some feelings for men, they will naturally not be willing to live in the shadow of others secretly for the rest of their lives." Fu Wan'en nodded. This is natural, at least, the concubines here don't have to worry about this.

"So, the conflict came. If a man was unwilling to divorce, he wanted to get rid of the mistress and the little girl. If the little girl was unwilling to give up, he would go and make trouble. Oh, these messy things came. Even in the end, he would join the man to murder the person in the main wife, the man killed the person in the mistress, the mistress assassinated the person in the main wife, and the mistress assassinated the person in the main wife, and he killed himself and shot him in the random mess..., tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, there are really too many such things in that world." Zhuo Bufan smacked his lips with a heartbroken expression.

"Oh," Fu Wanen covered his mouth in fear. It was so scary. He turned his eyes on him and became a revenge because of taking a concubine. This was not worth it. Thinking of this, Fu Wanen grabbed Zhuo Bufan's hand in fear and said, "It seems that our era is better. As long as you are happy, as long as you still like me, it is good to have more sisters to accompany you."

Shanya, Zhuo Bufan quietly wiped away the sweat beads from the forehead, reached out to wrap his hand around his soft and slender waist, and said intimately, in the future, he would never talk much about equality between men and women again.

The old ship owner at the helm of the stern suddenly shouted: "Call, you are in Xuzhou ahead and you need to replenish some rice, grain, oil and salt. The horse also needs to replenish some forage. It will take half a day. You can get off the boat and have a trip to try the deliciousness of the place."

Zhuo Bufan's eyes lit up. This place was not far from his hometown. He had been here. Of course, this was based on modern standards. In ancient times, a journey of hundreds of kilometers was considered far away. Xuzhou has been a place that must be fought for by military strategists and the center of merchants. The key road of the East and West Yellow River, the south Beijing Hangzhou canal transport, and the "Jiuzhou canal transport, the thoroughfare of the five provinces" refers to this place. It is the "Taoist base, the hometown of the Tianshi" and the birthplace of Chinese Buddhism. The earliest Buddhist temple in China, the "Futu Ren Temple", was born here.

Along the way, Zhuo Bufan almost had to go to such a visit every time he arrived. This is different from traveling like a lantern and war in his previous life. This is a real step-by-step and slow appreciation. The wonderful feeling is naturally never before. The leisurely natural scenery and the real customs and customs are all in sight. Not only Zhuo Bufan, but Fu Wansheng also likes it very much. When he heard that he was about to stop in Xuzhou, he suddenly became happy and was busy entering the cabin with Fu Hongdian to sort out and dress up.

Zhuo Bufan shook his head. No matter what dynasty, girls always love beauty and trouble. Soon, you can see the dock ahead.

This ship is not small. It is a flat-bottomed wide-warehouse ship that can be loaded with people and cargo. It specializes in this Beijing-Hangzhou transportation with shallow water and sand. The cabin is in front of it, where people live, and the ceiling is exposed on all sides. It was originally a place for loading, but now it carries three horses and a two-wheeled carriage. Although it is crowded, it can be barely enough. The carriage is actually much faster than the ship. However, as long as there is no urgent matter and it is just right for the way, it is not uncommon for rich families to load the boat on the boat. The waterway is much more comfortable than the carriage.

When approaching the wharf, there are many ships from south to north and crowded, most of which are cargo ships, and many of them are still grain ships escorted by officers and soldiers. They are all official grains transported from the south to the north. The transportation of grains from south to north is originally one of the most important functions of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

Zhou Tong and Zhuo Er also wanted to go ashore to move their muscles and bones, so Zhuo Bufan asked him to put the package in the gold spinning wheel on a horse and get off the boat. He was worried that he would have such a lot of gold on the boat, not to mention that the gold spinning wheel was of great use.
