Chapter 204 Seed

Chapter 204 Seed

In summer, the blue sky is dotted with white clouds, the temperature in Jiangning is pleasant, and the city is leisurely and leisurely. In the bright summer sunshine, there are shades of trees on the roads and courtyards, and birds fly on the riverbed. During the period, pedestrians come and go in the ancient city, and the voices of artists telling stories, playing and singing resound in restaurants and tea shops. The aroma of green tea is mixed with the sound of friends gathering and talking, and it becomes a part of the picture scroll of this season.

It was afternoon, and the courtyard on the side of the city smelled of cooking tea. The shade of the sycamore tree made the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard mottled. It was also in this courtyard that the voice of the boy was ringing. with.

"... Mencius said that the people of the region do not use the borders to seal the borders, the country does not use the dangers of mountains and streams, and the world does not use the benefits of military revolution. Those who gain the way will be helped more, and those who are not. It is the most reasonable thing, but since ancient times, those who help a lot at a time may not necessarily gain the way. , we can see from this sentence..."

The boy is not tall, and his face looks childish. He is about eleven or twelve years old. He is just wearing a white gown and a neat scarf on his head. He looks like a mature little adult.In fact, at this time, the children of ordinary families did not have much to see in the world when they were eleven or twelve years old, and they always wore the child's double-horn bundle, that is, the bun with two sides separated. Because it looks like a horn, it was called "Zongjiao" in ancient times. , There is also a sentence in the Book of Songs that "the banquet of the chief horn, Yanyan Yanyan with words and laughter".

However, there are always various distinctions in these matters. At this time, children are usually crowned between the ages of fifteen and twenty to show they are adults.However, if it is a farming family, there are often those who get married and have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Many people have to bear the burden of the family before they are fifteen.If it is a child in the city, after he started school, he knows more things, and he often regards himself as a literati. At this time, the society is full of literary style, and some children and teenagers who can write a few poems often dress up in Confucian clothes and scarves. It seems that she is also full of vigor, as long as she dresses up simply, no one will say anything.For example, it is not surprising that fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers speak eloquent words, point out the country, and accompany each other to court prostitutes.

The boy who was talking in the courtyard at this time was Zhou Junwu, one of Ning Yi's disciples. He used to be a lively child, but in the past year, he seemed to have matured.Of course, no matter how mature an eleven or twelve-year-old child is, there is a limit to how mature he is, but the main reason is that he has some ideas in his heart, and he no longer spends his days playing around like in the past, so he consciously "grows up". At that time, he looked like a young scholar, but he seemed a bit heroic.

At this time, he was standing there talking, thinking while speaking, organizing his words, naturally to answer the questions of the elders in the courtyard.In the shade of the trees, Qin Yuyuan and Kang Xianzheng finished a game of chess, asked a few words casually, and then he made a discussion on the "debate of the great way".On the side of the courtyard, there was also a girl sitting on a low stool watching this scene. The girl was not very old, she still wore a double bun on her hair, and her pink and white summer dress set off her slender waist and light yellow With small feet in ivory-white embroidered shoes, the girl rested her chin on her hands, and watched the scene with a slight smile. She held a round fan in her hand. Since the weather was not too hot, she only occasionally fanned the hot water on the small stove next to her. teapot.This is naturally the little princess Zhou Pei.

It has been several days since Ning Yi left Jiangning.Although the young couple still have a name in Yushan Academy, they have basically separated from their study there. As before, their studies are basically controlled by Kang Xian. The master and his son acted as professors.Zhou Pei has not yet reached Ji, but she is "old" after all, and her study progress is only as she likes, and the requirements are not strict, but there are still quite requirements for Xiao Junwu.

Of course, although Zhou Junwu is often bullied by his powerful sister, Zhou Junwu is still smart, and his studies are not top-notch, but they are also at the middle level, so he won't be too bad.

"The Debate on the Great Dao" is a very interesting topic. This topic was not proposed by Qin Yuyuan and Kang Xian, but was drawn up by the young man based on a few words that Kang Xian said. They also looked at each other and smiled.

"It's full of flowers," said one.

"Too big for nothing," said another.

The evaluation was not good, but as a test of the juvenile's ability to think independently, it finally passed the test. Xiao Junwu also knew the characters of the two grandpas, so he rubbed his ears and smiled.In fact, after Master went to Suzhou and Hangzhou, the grandpa of the Qin family will also leave for Beijing. When I came here today, I saw that some things had already been packed.The grandpa son-in-law came to play chess in the past few days, and he was probably planning to see him off.

"After your master left, you transferred to study with some masters in the palace. I'm afraid the progress is different from that in Yushan Academy. You can still keep up with your studies, do you understand?" Qin Yuyuan laughed.

"Understood." Zhou Junwu bowed and laughed, "Actually, Mr. Zhang and the others have already tested the progress of the students, and they also talked about the following courses, and they also told the previous ones. It's just that it is Afterwards, when the masters talked about it, the students always felt that they knew a lot better. The master used to teach a lot of irrelevant things eloquently, but now that I think about it, he often talked about the previous class. I’ve covered the rest of the stuff, so although there are many things I haven’t learned yet, once the masters talk about it, they feel very familiar and easy to understand. It’s just... hehe, it’s a bit boring.”

Having said that, the two old men looked at each other with a smile, and then put on a straight face.Kang Xiandao: "Don't be complacent, Mr. Zhang and the others are also great Confucianists today, and they are quite knowledgeable. Everyone teaches in different ways. Although you think you understand something, you may not be able to learn the true meaning of Mr. Zhang's knowledge. Although it sounds understandable, but the more it is like this, the more you have to think carefully.”

Jun Wu nodded respectfully: "Yes, Master said the same when he left. He said that every teacher has his own ability. As a student, you should learn to think and learn good things. As for what is meant by Well, it always needs to be verified slowly in future practice. It doesn’t matter how active your ideas are, but you can’t be arrogant.”

"It's really hard to find a master like Li Heng..." Qin Yuyuan laughed, Kang Xian shook his head angrily, Zhou Junwu looked a little proud of this master, and the little princess who held his chin on the side smiled , eyes narrowed into a line, as if thinking about something.Qin Yuyuan then tested Junwu's mastery of the Four Books, chatted with Kang Xian for a while, made a pot of tea, and when he was about to start a new chess game, he talked about Ning Yi again.

"Before Liheng left Jiangning, he told him about going to Beijing, but Liheng seemed to have some concerns in his heart. In fact, what he thought was always difficult to grasp. In the past, he only talked about doing things, not about saving the country and the people. From my point of view, it seems that he has some concerns about the Dao in his heart, so he is cautious."

Kang Xian nodded: "He is very capable of doing things. It's just that I can see in the past that he always doesn't take it seriously for the secular officialdom. If he can figure it out and help you, you are in the capital, and doing various things will not hinder you." Also less."

Qin Yuyuan shook his head slightly: "Liheng has always been calm in his work, but his style is often radical, but his goals are often radical and thorough. But he has such ability himself, and he probably understands it in his heart. He told me before leaving , if he really wants to come out to do something, even he himself doesn't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. For example, I have been thinking recently, what will be the end result of uniting the Jin Dynasty against the Liao Dynasty, I don't know. Knowing whether it will be another Liao Kingdom, sometimes, good intentions may not necessarily lead to good things."

"At least there is a chance. The Jin and Liao countries are fighting. As long as we seize the opportunity and win a few battles, we can regain the mountains and rivers. But if we are still unable to win in such an opportunity, it will not be a matter of you alone. "

"If this is the case...the country should perish..." Qin Yuyuan frowned, remembering this sentence.In fact, if ordinary people say it, these words are really a bit outrageous, but it doesn't matter here, Kang Xian also frowned.Qin Yuyuan lowered his voice, "Actually, I think Li Heng is worried about this."

"Ok?"

"What he thinks in his heart has always been the same as his style of doing things, simple. I heard him say this sentence that day, it seemed to be a joke, but it may not be true. Perhaps in his view, I am so weak in the future, if so There really will be a day when you can't seize such an opportunity, and this kind of family and country... will die..."

"How could it be so..."

"The opportunity has already been given. I will cooperate with Li Xiang to rectify the military affairs when I go to Bianjing. However, I am afraid that there are still many difficulties to do it well. Heh, since ancient times, the affairs of the world have been small changes. There are countless difficulties, and those who want to make big changes, nine times out of ten, will find it difficult to return. He said: "Your future is uncertain, so I won't mess with you." Think clearly, he has this insight, I am afraid that he has thought about how to do it, how to seize this opportunity, and the difficulties. He may think too hard and have prejudices, so he is hesitant. In my opinion, this is the It's the reason he kept shirking."

"Someone has to do it if it's difficult."

"The more intense things are, the more changes there are, the harder it is to know the outcome. Liheng probably feels that his style of doing things is too drastic. After all, he has never entered the political arena. He only relies on his imagination, fearing that he will be too persistent in the future, so he started to live in seclusion. Nian. I think about it these days, and that’s the only reason.”

"Heh, if you think you know something before you have done it before, isn't it too arrogant?" Kang Xian said with a smile.

"If someone else, I would say the same thing. In their early twenties, even if they think highly of themselves, they only think that they can be a county magistrate in the future. But Liheng, I can't say it. This time, he acted old and hot. Among the younger generation, I only saw him in my life. He was born with the ability to see what people think, and he can control it to achieve his goals. If this person is in troubled times, he will be a hero. His ability to recognize and control is what I really appreciate. This time I invited him to Beijing, he may not be really repulsed, but on the one hand he has awareness of the difficulties in the future, on the other hand he is aware of his own actions. With awareness, because he is afraid of doing bad things, he has restraint, in my opinion, it is not shrinking, but just makes me appreciate him more."

The old man smiled again: "However, I don't worry if he is born or not. With this ability, he will come out sooner or later. Let him figure everything out first."

The two talked at this time, but did not avoid Zhou Junwu who was next to them.After all, he is different from ordinary students. If it is an ordinary student, respecting the teacher is the most important thing. The two of them will definitely not talk about his master in front of him, but Jun Wu is the young prince of Kang Wangfu after all.Although it is said that the Wu Dynasty had strict management over the master, on the other hand, Zhou Junwu was still a disciple of Kang Xian. Kang Xian’s wife, Princess Cheng Guo, owned a large number of royal properties. Although Kang Xian and Zhou Xuan also had children and grandchildren, these properties will be To pass it on, you need to nod from above. Junwu is actually to be cultivated as one of the managers.After all, Ning Yi is a person who is too difficult to grasp. If something happens in the future, the evaluation of the two at this time will become a great reference in Jun Wu's mind.

Of course, it was also because it was a positive evaluation that the two of them would talk about it. When they were talking, Jun Wu also frowned with a hesitant expression, and only laughed when he finished speaking.Qin Yuyuan glanced at him with a smile: "Jun Wu just discussed the debate on the Dao, and some of them are Li Heng's views, right?"

Jun Wu hesitated slightly, and then nodded: "Master also said it, but... above this paragraph, Master seems to be hesitant to speak."

"Hehe, your master is afraid that he will frighten you if he speaks too violently. He, I am afraid, will say that the Dao is the one that is easy to use after it is used up, and it is useless. However, Junwu, you follow Liheng, I think that what I learned the most is not the four books and five classics, but how to see and think about things. You think that many things taught by Master Zhang and the others have become easier to understand, of course it is because Li Heng mentioned it, but The main thing is that you think better."

Jun Wu nodded vigorously.

"However, learning to think too early may not be good." Qin Yuyuan smiled, "Actually, people who read books and read and write, in the end, let people broaden their knowledge and learn how to think. As long as you really learn how to think, you can learn how to think. To learn other things, you learn by analogy and get twice the result with half the effort. Your master has always taught you to learn to think as soon as possible, so he told those stories and guided you to use your brain. In this way, you can learn faster. But you are too young now, I don’t have enough experience, I think too much, and I’m actually biased. In the end, I’m afraid I’ll be arrogant. I feel that Mr. Zhang is not as good as Mr. Ning, and then I feel that what Mr. Zhang said is not reasonable enough, and I may even start to feel that the articles of the ancient sages There are fallacies... When you have your own ideas, you start to be arrogant and arrogant! Junwu, you have to remember these words clearly."

Qin Yuyuan had always been generous and kind to his juniors. Just now when Kang Xian said that Junwu's exposition was "big and useless", he only said "flowers and flowers", but when he said it, his expression became serious, and in the end, he even became a bit stern.Jun Wu also quickly sat upright with a solemn face, listening to the teaching.After a while, Qin Yuyuan's expression slowed down.

"So generally speaking, when teachers teach students, they just let you remember at the beginning, and then let you think about it when you are really old and can really see something, so that your foundation will be much more solid. Of course, I am not Said that your master taught you wrongly, just look at the things he told you, you can see that he also attaches great importance to it. He has some control, but you are a child after all, and Grandpa Qin is about to go to Beijing, so I want to tell you about it again It’s a good thing to think about it after a while, but as your master said, don’t be arrogant. Even if you don’t think so, even if you think it’s old-fashioned, you must remember it carefully. As long as you can remember it, you will grow up later. , Confirming one by one, you will also find out why others think that way, and you will find out the reason behind it, and by doing that, you will definitely find out the benefits of it.”

The young man saluted solemnly: "Jun Wu remembers."

"That's good." Qin Yuyuan smiled, "However, what you and Liheng learned at the beginning, although you also studied the Four Books and Five Classics, I'm afraid it's not the main reason. How about the study of Gewu, Junwu, do you think it's useful? ? Now I should have some insights."

"Useful, useful." Jun Wu has always been lively, and he just accepted the test and listened to the teachings, and he also seemed positive, but when he talked about Gewu, the little boy's face suddenly seemed to light up, nodding and nodding again, "Gewu is, Gewu that is……"

He seemed to want to promote this concept to others, but it was difficult to organize amazing words for a while, Qin Yuyuan smiled and said: "Oh?"

"Uh, Gewu is... Master said something, physics... oh, the foundation of Gewu is to make bold guesses."

"guess?"

"Well." Jun Wu nodded, "No matter what you see, you can guess what it is, and then make a formula or theory that can be used, but this theory must be universal, as long as there is one If you don't deserve it, you have to overthrow this guess, and then continue guessing..."

"Just guessing?" Qin Yuyuan frowned, understanding these things.

"Well, it's generally better to use deduction, but the master said that you must have imagination. If you don't understand something at all, if you want to understand it, you have to guess first. Well, as the master said, there are some basic things. Reasonable, for example, a straight line can be drawn between any two points; the straight line can be extended arbitrarily..."

Jun Wu started chirping and quacking about the basics of Gewuxue that he had learned. It could be seen that the little boy was almost preaching, as if he wanted to promote the "very reasonable" Gewuxue to the grandpa of the Qin family through his narration. The old man listened to those simple truths: "Is there any need to guess about these things?"

"This is the basic composition, Grandpa Qin, Gewuxue can't be taken for granted. Although the theory can be guessed, the verification process must be rigorous, step by step, and each step must be absolutely accurate..." Jun Wu vigorously promoted The concept learned from Ning Yi, "These things can be made into very complicated things step by step. Grandpa Qin, everything in the world came from this way. After learning it, we can know what we call things. Why can levers Conduction... force, let's put a stone here as a fulcrum, press down hard on this side, and the other side will rise. We can calculate how high it will rise, and then put a gear on the other side, the gear How will it move, there can be another gear after the gear, and then add a lever, just like a waterwheel, a windmill, we can make very complicated things..."

"Aren't there already waterwheels and windmills?"

"But it can be more complicated. Grandpa Qin, you don't know, Master designed a very simple thing for us, starting with a water wheel, adding levers, gears, and then we make a printed board, and when the board is lifted up, it will There is a brush that brushes the ink on it, and then the board is pressed down to print a page, the board goes up, and there is another claw, which pulls the printed page away, pulls another sheet of paper, and then bangs Reprinting... bang reprinting, Master said this is called an assembly line..."

After all, the little boy's eloquence is not very good, and the words are too complicated, and he danced: "Of course, we also have to consider the toughness of the paper, the uniformity of the ink, and the wear and tear of the machine. But these can be calculated, even if it is paper, as long as we get it Know why paper can become paper. We can make better paper. Master said that it is because of plant fibers or something. We still don’t understand. Oh, you can also calculate the quality of iron, Grandpa Qin, you You know, the reason why iron is hard and brittle is because there is something that can be burned in it, that is, carbon, the less carbon, the more resilient the iron, it is not easy to break, and it is not easy to rust..."

Qin Yuyuan was already looking at Kang Xian at this time. Regarding Ning Yi's Gewu, he didn't ask too much at the beginning, and he used to be a little disapproving.But at this time, an outline was gradually heard.Kang Xian must know what Jun Wu learned from Ning Yi, the two old men looked at each other, Qin Yuyuan said: "Bold guess, but use the most serious derivation, every step must be buckled... "

Kang Xian nodded: "Specifically, I can't see too much now, but some of the things that Liheng and Junwu said, I have people here to write down and think about it. Now there is a pamphlet, and tomorrow I will let people Let me show you, to be honest, it’s just guessing and derivation, if you really do it, it’s extensive and profound. But... I’m afraid there will be some troubles, you can help think about it.”

Qin Yuyuan nodded.Jun Wu next to him didn't understand what "trouble" meant. He felt that there would be trouble in completing the derivation, so he was still talking excitedly.

"Grandpa Qin, have you ever wondered why kites fly into the sky? Why do Kongming lanterns fly into the sky? Because when the wind blows, the kite is tilted at an angle, because this angle will decompose the force into a backward and a forward direction. Up, as long as the wind keeps blowing, it will always generate an upward force. As long as we can make a big wing, move forward, and reach a certain speed, we can fly...Of course, Master said that this requires more tenacity. With the combination of materials, as long as we can understand the principle of bellows, we can make better bellows, raise the temperature of the furnace, make better iron, and produce cloth that is not easy to break, anyway. How about it, we have been thinking about it recently, as long as there is a large wind receiving area and a high speed, we can fly... I will definitely be able to make a big kite that can fly..."

When he said this, there was some fanatical longing in his eyes. The two old men were thinking about the content of his words for a while, but they didn't notice this expression. Then Jun Wu shook his head again: "Of course, this is a long time later. Things are going on, the development of basic industries will take a long time..." He repeated Ning Yi's words.

"Anyway, when Master is leaving, let's think about a few things. First, we now know that everything has a force in it, but...how did this force come from..." He jumped on the ground "As soon as we jumped up, we immediately fell down. Why did we fall down? Why did the apple fall down? Why did the earth pull us? Why didn't we float up..."

"This, Liheng also let you think about it?"

"Well, this is just thinking about it. Of course I want to think about it. I also feel strange now... The second question is why when we are at the beach, when we see the boat sailing away, the mast is always the last to disappear..." He typed With a shiver, "Grandpa, this is very scary. We see that everything is straight. If the mast always disappears last, it means..."

Jun Wu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then took out a piece of paper, with a strange and terrifying light in his eyes, he tilted the paper to form a small arch bridge, and cut it in the middle with his hand: "The higher side is the ground." , the lower side is the sea, grandpa, our world has a slope, it is like a circle, it slides down towards the sea, if it slides to ninety degrees, grandpa, what do you think it is... I think On the other side of the sea, there must be a big hole, maybe like a big funnel, but the sea water didn’t pour into that big hole, and this reminds me of Master’s last question, why is there a force holding us...Grandpa, although we don’t I know the reason, but we didn't fall because of the force that held us... But why did the world become like this, the teacher must be thinking about these reasons, so he asked us..."

The world is tilted, and there is a big hole on the other side of the sea. Qin Yuyuan and Kang Xian thought it was unbelievable, but combined with the fact that the masts of ships on the sea are the last to disappear, it is really scary...

Jun Wu shook his head: "However, Master said that we just wanted to play around with these two questions. He was probably afraid of scaring us, but he didn't know that we had already figured it out so quickly... However, Master's third question , is the most important."

Qin Yuyuan was also a little interested at this time: "What did Li Heng ask?"

Jun Wu stood up, walked to the small stove where water was being boiled and made tea, squatted down, and looked at it for a while: "Master said, physics...uh, one of the most important development paths of Gephysics lies on this teapot... "

"teapot?"

"Yeah." The little boy nodded and looked back at the two grandfathers, "Master forgot, he mentioned it to us casually before...Grandpa Qin, if the mouth of the teapot is blocked, we will press the lid to prevent the teapot from venting. Can we hold it?"

"I always have to vent my anger, I'm afraid I can't hold it back."

"The air will push the lid open, and there will be a force here. If the teapot is bigger, the force will be even greater... Master taught us, as long as we use levers, gears, and such and such things, we can always use this force." Spread the word, as long as you can make this kind of thing, it's just like Master said..."

The little boy jumped up, turned around and smiled, "Master once said that manpower is sometimes poor, and animal power is also sometimes poor. No matter what kind of horse you have, the carriage can only go so fast at most, because no matter how powerful it is A horse is just a horse. But the combination of lever gear and these things makes the machine different. A water wheel has much more strength than a horse, but the water wheel cannot walk. The first goal of Gewuxue is the power that is easy to carry source!"

Words such as what machine, what is easy to carry, what power source, etc., are basically Ning Yi's way of speaking.Ning Yi has been here for so long, and he has basically melted into this era, but when he talked about a lot of new things, he ignored the grammar of this era. Anyway, whether you can understand it or not, he doesn’t force it. Jun Wu has been with him for so long, so he wrote down all these sayings and regarded them as the guidelines for learning Gewuxue.Because he remembered these, when Ning Yi said it, he soon understood it.

"One day, I can fly to the sky..."

The little boy looked at the teapot and murmured something.After a while, the girl sitting by the small stove raised her round fan and slapped him on the forehead.

"Okay, I haven't learned arithmetic well yet, I keep thinking about these things. I still dream of flying to the sky, don't die! Master scolded you a few days ago, saying it's dangerous, don't think about it anymore!"

"Woo." The little boy covered his forehead, looked at his sister resentfully, and muttered, "This is my ideal..."

It’s hard to say whether the idealistic boy was woken up for a while. Qin Yuyuan and Kang Xian thought it was unheard of, but it was quite reasonable. On the other hand, they also found it absurd. Wu said that the earth is a funnel-shaped inference.Not long after, Qin Yuyuan said slowly: "If you are on the grassland and see people riding horses, then it is the same in any direction. Why? If you think about it this way, is the earth round?"

He thought about it, and then laughed: "It's nonsense, it's nonsense, but such thoughts are quite interesting, ha ha."

Kang Xian was also stunned for a while, then smiled and said: "Interesting and interesting, if it is round, what does the other side of the earth look like? Wouldn't everyone fall down? Don't they all live backwards?"

Jun Wu was quite distressed for a while, the two laughed for a while, their expressions became weird, and then changed the topic, they are all very wise people, although they didn't know the Western logical thinking form before, but People think that things are the same, given the conditions and principles, and strictly making inferences, they can adapt in an instant.For a while, I didn't dare to think about this question.

"I just heard Jun Wu keep talking about us, it seems that besides you and Xiaopei, there are other people who are learning this physical science?"

"It's okay." Jun Wu nodded, very proud, "In addition to me and my sister, there are also two juniors in the school, and the youngest son of the Kaiping county government. I told him recently, and he also thinks it is very important. Reason, I want to make a kite with me recently, oh, right, and Kang Luo also thinks Gewu is very interesting... So we have established the Gewu Party a few days ago, and now there are six people. I am the leader of the party! "

Zhou Pei's round fan slapped his younger brother's head again, but he smiled and said nothing. The two old people were a little funny for a while, not to mention the two juniors in his school. At the age of [-], he usually runs behind Jun Wu, but he pulls him in. Kang Luo is Kang Xian's little grandson, who is currently eight years old.Jun Wu was quite popular among the kids, so he immediately pulled them in.

"It seems that this Gewu Party will develop very quickly." Qin Yuyuan nodded.

"Xiao Qi and Xiao Xin in my family may not be able to escape..." Kang Xian laughed and made a joke about the children in the family. Among the grandchildren in his family, Kang Qi was seven years old, Kang Xin was five years old, I'm afraid I can't escape the fate of being developed into the Gewu Party...

During the joke between the two old men, Xiao Junwu also became slightly angry, and decided not to give Kang Qikang a new chance to join the Gewu Party. Anyway, they are also stupid. He is very strict in recruiting party members, because every time When a developer comes in, he will give a good description of the future prospects, which is like flying to the sky.

There must be such a day...

In the afternoon of summer, there is still about 800 years of history before the real vehicle that can fly into the sky in another period of history. cake.

Some things have taken root and sprouted in silence, and they can no longer be waved away...

At the same time, the person who dropped the seed at will had already crossed Zhenjiang by boat.They originally sailed eastward from the Yangtze River by boat, stayed in Zhenjiang for a few days, and then set off to go south along the south of the Yangtze River.The boats in this water area are busy, and the current is not in a hurry, so they sail slowly and leisurely. After passing through Danyang for a day, they will enter the boundary of Changzhou.
