764 Big Brother Li Fell from the Sky
However, he made a note of it in his heart.
Wait…
When he inherited the throne, be it Liu Yichen or the Liu family, they would all disappear.
However, before that happened, he had to endure, endure, and endure!
Yuwen Feiye had been consoling himself the entire time.
Li Fazhi was very observant. He immediately said to everyone, ” Your Highness, Young master Liu… young lady, young master, please board the ship. We’ll watch this courtesan competition and chat. How about that? ”
Yuwen Feiye nodded. Liu Yichen turned to Lin yuelan and asked, ” little sister, what do you think? ”
Lin yuelan nodded and said, ” I’ll do as you say. Thank you, young master Li!”
Lin yuelan didn’t refuse to board the ship.
After that, the group of people quickly arrived at a large boat that was about 20 meters long.
Lin Yuelan looked at these big ships. Although they didn’t have any modern oil tanker facilities, they did have sails, but they hadn’t been raised yet. On both ends and sides of the hull, there was a hemp rope as thick as an arm tied to it. it was obvious that in addition to using sails and manual paddling, this ship also needed manual pulling force, commonly known as a yobo!
Lin yuelan sighed slightly.
Although it seemed a little cruel, the construction in this era itself was at this level, so everything needed manpower.
In the beginning, Emperor Sui Yang had dug the Grand Canal for big ships to travel, and then eat, drink, and had fun on the ship. However, if the ship were too big, it would be impossible to move it by relying on oars alone, so they could only rely on human strength to pull the ship. Thus, the ones who suffered were the farmers.
It seemed that she had to think of a way to build a half-man-powered and half-mechanized big ship. Otherwise, it would be all kinds of trouble to go to some places that were far away by water.
Thinking of this, Lin yuelan recalled the structural design of the modern big ships.
“Miss Yue ‘Er! ” seeing Lin Yuelan in a daze, Jiang Zhennan immediately called out worriedly. When he saw Lin yuelan looking back at him, he immediately asked with concern, ” miss Yue ‘Er, do you get seasick? ”
Lin yuelan shook her head, “No, I didn’t! ”
“Oh, that’s good!” When Jiang Zhennan heard this, he seemed to be relieved.
When he saw that Lin yuelan didn’t say anything, he thought that she was seasick.
There was a large space at the bow of the ship, and it was surrounded by some bright silk cloth. As for the flowers, they were made with floral cloth or colored paper.
For this, Lin yuelan admired the wisdom and deftness of these people.
Just now, when she saw the fresh flowers on the ship, she thought they were real flowers. She was wondering where the flowers had come from in this cold winter.
Now that she got closer, she realized that they were all fake flowers cut out and tied up. They were simply the ancient version of plastic flowers.
However, Lin yuelan was even more puzzled.
Usually, when a courtesan competition was held, wouldn’t it be held in the spring when the flowers were blooming?
Why did they choose to do it in the cold season, and especially in the lake? Weren’t they afraid of freezing to death? Especially those top prostitutes who wanted to participate in the competition. They wanted to participate in the singing and dancing competition and show off their stunning beauty, so they had to wear less.
Of course, Lin yuelan was only puzzled for a moment. After all, no matter what season these people competed, it was none of her business.
Then, a short square table was placed in the middle of the boat. On the table were some fruits that were strange to others but not unfamiliar to Lin yuelan, such as purple grapes and saintess fruit.
There was also a stove on all four sides of the table so that people wouldn’t freeze.
“Everyone, please take a seat!” Li Fazhi greeted them. Of course, Yuwen Feiye had to be the one to sit in the prestigious seat.
After that, Liu Yichen, Li Fazhi, Lin yuelan, and Jiang Zhennan took their seats in order.
Jiang Zhennan’s position was at the end of the line.
Liu Yichen secretly glanced at Jiang Zhennan, who sat down without even frowning. He was still a little surprised.
In terms of status, Jiang Zhennan’s position was even higher than Liu Yichen’s.
After all, one was a general who had real power, while the other was a merchant who had money but a low status.
Of course, Jiang Zhennan didn’t point it out. He didn’t have any dissatisfaction. He was just happy to watch the show.
