Okay, when she arrives near Sanmenxia, she will go directly to Xingyang after changing to carriage.
But the two children are young and the carriage is too bumpy. If you can take a boat, try to take the boat as much as possible. The time spent on the way is nothing, no hurry anyway.
After getting off the boat, Dou took Li Shimin and Li Xuanba to visit Sanmenxia and Dizhu Mountain.
Dizhu Mountain is only nine meters above the river. In fact, it is like an iceberg, and it still has a large volume under the water.
Dizhu Mountain is located in the middle of the river, and is the biggest “killer” in the Yellow River.
On the reef at the base of the main pillar, dynasties have dug three passages, called “god”, “ghost” and “people”. Canal transport ships can only pass smoothly along these three passages.
But in the turbulent river, it is impossible to see the situation under the river and the ships are difficult to turn. How difficult is it to not deviate from the passage?
Therefore, the three gates of “God”, “Ghost” and “Man” also mean that “God”, “Ghost” and “Man” are difficult to overcome.
Li Xuanba is actually a chatterbox and has a strong desire to share. Otherwise, after he paid off the debts owed by his parents, the retirement job he chose would not be an editor of a marketing account.
Due to his sub-healthy state of the body and being tired after speaking too much, Li Xuanba vented all his desire to share towards Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked up at Dizhu Mountain, listened with relish, and asked about the gossip about Dizhu Mountain from time to time.
Dizhu Mountain Reef has always been a good place to cross the river, so it is also a place that military strategists must fight for.
Li Xuanba knew all the several battles of crossing the river in Dizhu Mountain. Li Shimin was excited when he heard this, and wished he could have a fight.
“But Ah Xuan, since the canal transportation is so difficult, why not take the land transportation?” Li Shimin was puzzled.
Li Xuanba explained to his second brother the difference between the cost of canal transportation and land transportation.
[However, after the Sui Dynasty, the navigation conditions of the Yellow River were even worse. When transporting grain from the east to Guanzhong, the section from Luoyang to Shanzhou could only take land, and then switch back to water from Shanzhou to Chang’an. Oh, Chang’an is Daxing. 】
Li Shimin was stunned, then reached out and covered Li Xuanba’s mouth hard.
Li Xuanba “woo woo woo”, his face turned red.
He was curiously guessing what Saburo was saying to Erlang. When Erlang was so excited, he saw this and quickly saved Li Xuanba from Li Shimin’s claws.
She blamed, “Erlang, why are you bullying your younger brother?!”
Li Shimin said, “I didn’t bully you, mom, you don’t know what he said… Forget it, mom still doesn’t know.”
Li Shimin tried to carry his hands behind his back, looking up at the mainstay and sighed.
He could only bear such pain.
Seeing Li Shimin’s reaction, Dou asked in confusion: “Sanlang, what did you say to your Erlang? “
Li Xuanba said “honestly”: “I only talked about the difficulty of canal transportation. “
Dou was even more confused. He only said that the water transportation was difficult. What was Erlang excited about?
But no matter how she asked, Li Shimin and Li Xuanba’s “confessions” were very consistent.
It was the water transportation, and he said nothing except the water transportation!
Dou was helpless.
The twins only shared secrets with each other since childhood. Even if she was a mother, she felt a little sad, what could she do?
After getting on the carriage, Li Shimin and Li Xuanba immediately “reconciled”. Li Shimin came to his younger brother again, continued to listen to his younger brother’s stories, and bit his ears from time to time, asking his younger brother questions that he would not let his mother hear.
