    Hearing Li Min mention his daughter's knowledge, Zhao Fu's face became a little sad. The person who taught his daughter Yifan was indeed a famous teacher and a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty, but if possible, he would rather his daughter be an ordinary person.  People who don¡¯t understand.

    "Your Highness, the other party cannot be regarded as Yifan's master. It's just that he saw that Yifan was very talented, so he taught her for a while. It's a pity that this person has never seen the beginning of the dragon, and he doesn't know where he is traveling now?" Zhao Fu sighed and said.  .

    "Oh, who is the other party?" Li Min was curious and didn't notice anything strange about Zhao Fu.

    "The opponent is Yuan Tiangang, the old immortal Yuan!" Zhao Fu bowed and replied.

    Li Min was very surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Yifan's master turned out to be Yuan Tiangang. No wonder he was so knowledgeable. Although he was a magician, not everyone can be a magician. Astronomy and geography are just the basics for entry, and what else?  You need to be good at calculating and calculating. Otherwise, how could it be so easy to deceive others?

    Just when Li Min was unscrupulously plotting against the people of Dengzhou, several merchant ships were sailing down the winding Yellow River. They had just arrived at the Bianzhou section. Among them, the largest merchant ship in front was  There were several people standing on the bow of the boat. Among them, two people dressed as waiters in front were crawling on the side of the boat, as if they were about to salvage something from the water. Behind them stood a short and fat businessman, and two others in Taoist uniforms.  The man was standing behind the three of them, talking with his head down.

    This somewhat strange combination was obviously led by the two Taoist priests. The older Taoist priest looked to be in his fifties or sixties. His beard and hair had turned gray, and he looked ancient and thin. He had three strands of long beard hanging on his chest and looked fairy-like.  Feng Daogu looks like an immortal who doesn't eat the fireworks of this world.  The younger one looked to be in his thirties, extremely handsome and handsome, with a short beard on his lips.  His handsomeness is coupled with maturity, and in future generations, he can definitely kill a group of ignorant girls in an instant.

    "Old god, please look, the water is coming!" The two men on the side of the boat turned out to be fetching water from the Yellow River. After the short and fat businessman took it, he immediately brought it to the elderly Taoist priest and said with a flattering look on his face.

    The elderly Taoist priest took the water from the river, dipped two fingers in the water, and waited for the water on his fingers to dry.  Rubbing his two fingers gently, a few invisible traces of sand flew out from between his two fingers, and were quickly blown away by the river wind.

    "Well, the water in this Bianzhou section is similar to that in the upper reaches. It's a little turbid compared to last year." The elderly Taoist priest said with some worry. It turned out that he had just used this method to test the sediment content in the river water.  The young Taoist priest next to him looked like he had known this before, obviously he had known this would be the result.

    "Master Yuan, you have been monitoring the water of the Yellow River for many years. Now you can be sure that the sediment contained in the water of the Yellow River is increasing year by year. The reason is simply the destruction of vegetation in the upper reaches. If it is not treated in time, I am afraid that this will happen in the future.  Along the Yellow River, the suffering is ten times more serious than it is now." The young Taoist priest said slowly.

    "Well, yes, but the condition of the river this year is better than in previous years. At least it doesn't become turbid as fast as in previous years, but I don't know why?" The elderly Taoist priest rubbed the sand in his hands.  He said with a confused look on his face.

    "Haha, I have to thank our Highness King Qi of the Tang Dynasty for this!" the young Taoist priest suddenly laughed.

    "Chunfeng, this actually has something to do with His Highness King Qi?" the older Taoist priest asked with a surprised look on his face.  The identities of these two Taoist priests are not ordinary. The younger one is the famous Li Chunfeng in history, who is currently the Taishi Ling of the Tang Dynasty.  And the person he could call his teacher, and who also had the surname Yuan, was naturally the magic stick Yuan Tiangang in Li Min's mouth.

    "Master Yuan doesn't know something. Last year, His Highness the King of Qi used pebbles to replace firewood or charcoal. Now not only Chang'an, but almost the entire Guanzhong area uses pebbles as fuel. Coupled with the invention of cement, this strange thing, when building houses and palaces,  , can also replace wood in many places. Therefore, since last year, the felling of trees in Guanzhong, Yellow River and Shanghai has been significantly reduced. I believe that with the promotion of coal and cement, Datang's demand for trees will further shrink in the future.  , then I will write to Your Majesty, requesting that the vegetation in the Guanzhong area be rehabilitated. I believe that in a few years, the water of the Yellow River will become clear again."

    Li Chunfeng's face was full of energy, and when he mentioned Li Min, his tone was full of respect. The reason why he agreed to go to Dengzhou with his master Yuan Tiangang this time was not only to meet the little junior sister who was praised so highly by his master, but also to meet him.  As soon as he met Qi Wang Li Min, he actually wanted to meet Li Min last year, but unfortunately he never found a suitable opportunity. It was too abrupt to visit him, so he has been putting it off until now. However, it is different in Dengzhou.  Well, the father of his little junior sister is Dengzhou Biejia, so he can be asked to introduce him to him when the time comes.

    "That's it!" When mentioning Li Min, Yuan Tiangang also stroked his beard and smiled, "IThis trip has only been a few years, but when I returned to Chang'an, I found that in the entire Chang'an city, whether it was the street corner wine shop or the mansion of the dignitary, almost everywhere was talking about our King of Qi. I really can't wait to meet him soon.  See you, I must take a good look at his face then.  "

    Li Chunfeng was also quite amused when he saw the master's rare expression of anxiety. However, when he mentioned his appearance, he remembered a strange thing that his master had told him, so he asked: "Master Yuan, you mentioned this to your disciple last time.  , saying that the faces of many dignitaries in Chang'an City had changed. I couldn't figure out the reason at the time, but have you figured it out now?"

    "Alas~, this matter is really puzzling to me. When I was in Chang'an a few years ago, I met many people. But when I returned to Chang'an this year, I found that many people's faces had changed greatly.  For example, the grandson of the British prince Li Jingye, although he was born rich, died at the hands of a sword. The second son of the prime minister was also a difficult person to die in peace. There were even His Highness King Wu and Jin Yang.  Princess and so on, but now the faces of these people have changed, and each of them has become a person with a long and blessed life, which is really confusing."

    Yuan Tiangang shook his head and sighed. Although people's destiny is not fixed, it has a context. Even if it changes, it rarely escapes from this context. But now, so many people have changed themselves.  His fate is really incomprehensible.

    "Master Yuan, don't be too distressed. In fact, I have also encountered this problem. I have made calculations about the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty before, and I probably know a little bit about it, but now everything is in chaos. As for the national destiny after the Tang Dynasty,  I can't figure it out at all now. I have been studying this matter last year, but in the end it was like falling into a fog, and I couldn't figure out the cause and effect at all, so I had no choice but to give up." Li Chunfeng also shook his head and smiled bitterly.

    Yuan Tiangang is the best at fortune telling, but Li Chunfeng is the most proficient in the art of calculation. This is not a trick used by fortune tellers on the street to deceive people, but a real university knowledge. However, these two knowledges are too profound and difficult to understand.  Arithmetic, medicine, philosophy, etc. all require profound attainments. Even highly intelligent people like Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng can only specialize in one. In the entire history of China, there are  Not many people are proficient in this art, but many people use the name of physiognomy and arithmetic to cheat money and reputation. Over time, the reputation of these two disciplines is ruined.

    Having said this, the two people suddenly looked at each other in unison, and then smiled bitterly at each other. Although there was no concrete evidence, their intuition told themselves that this matter must be related to the magical King Qi.

    "Two Immortals, the wind is strong on the bow of the ship. Please come into the cabin quickly. I have good fried tea here. This is produced in the fried tea factory in Prince Qi's mansion. Compared with those later fried tea factories  , the purest taste!" At this moment, the short and fat businessman just now greeted the two of them in the ship's warehouse.

    This businessman's name is Qian Gui, and as his name suggests, this guy is really a 'money chest'. Although his parents are not very good, he is one of the top ten wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City, just like Wang Zihao, specializing in jewelry and jade.  In the luxury goods business, I had received guidance from Yuan Tiangang before. This time I heard that the old god was going to Dengzhou. It happened that he also wanted to deliver a batch of goods to Dengzhou, so he immediately invited him to his door.

    "Money is expensive, what kind of goods are you transporting, and you actually need to escort them personally?" Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng smiled and went into the warehouse to drink tea. Yuan Tiangang was familiar with each other, so he asked casually.

    "For the information of the old god, there is nothing particularly valuable on the other ships. They are the Five Kings Drunk and fireworks that I spent all my efforts to get. However, our ship is filled with a boatload of perfumes and mirrors. The cost of these two things alone is very small.  It cost no less than one hundred thousand yuan. If something unexpected happens, I will even think about dying." Qian Gui said exaggeratedly. With his wealth, if the cargo of this ship is gone, it will be injured at most.  His muscles and bones are moving, but he has not yet reached the point where he must die.

    "Oh? Aren't you in the jewelry and jade business? Why are you shipping all these this time?" Yuan Tiangang asked a little strangely.

    "Hey, old fairy, you are not a businessman and do not understand the market. If these perfumes and mirrors on our ship are transported to Dengzhou, the profits will be several times higher if they are resold. However, those maritime merchants in Dengzhou will transport them to Goguryeo or Japan.  These 100,000 guan goods can be sold for at least one million guan, which is much more profitable than jewelry and jade." When he mentioned doing business, Qian Gui's eyes immediately lit up. Although he had a rich net worth, thinking about the millions of guan  The price is sky-high, but my mouth is still watering.

    "It's a pity that I don't have a sea ship in my hands, and I'm not familiar with overseas countries. Otherwise, I would have sent him directly to Goguryeo." Qian Gui then added unwillingly.

    Seeing the greedy appearance of this wealthy businessman, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng did not show any contempt, but shook their heads helplessly, and at the same time thought, it seems that thatHis Highness the King's influence is so ubiquitous that even the merchant ship they boarded was filled with new goods produced by Li Min.  (To be continued)
