Li Ye had been waiting for almost a day, and bought eggs and cakes at a nearby stall at noon. In the afternoon, he slowly appeared on the other end of the river while taking the ship of the Prince Consort's Mansion. The officials of the Maritime Bureau immediately greeted him because the mast was under the royal banner of the Prince Consort's Mansion.

The escort was the guard of the Prince Consort's Mansion, and there were more than 20 boatmen and servants.

These people will probably stay in Kyoto for a few days and then head south. Be respectful and respectful, any cargo entering and leaving the Kaiyuan territory from the wharf must be inspected and the Maritime Bureau will be assisted by the Maritime Bureau.

This time, my sister-in-law sent her this time, as in previous years, all of them are southern specialties, including Gastrodia elata, walnuts, some unique dried fruits, as well as excellent rice and several calligraphy and paintings.

The most expensive ones are the two boxes with straw stuffed outside and antiques and jewelry wrapped in silk cloth. Li Ye is not very familiar with these, only knows that there are a few sets of porcelain, with smooth and clean surfaces and exquisite craftsmanship. Some of them are jade products, including bracelets and cups. The most conspicuous one is a brush washing.

The head of the yard guard was Jiao Shan, and according to Princess Qing'an's instructions, he told Li Ye one by one, which ones were given to him, and which ones were given to the Queen Mother's birthday, and what were they all.

At the end of the day, Li Ye realized that almost all the items in this boat were given to him. The only one who celebrated the Queen Mother's birthday was the jade pendant, which looked like a treasure.

His sister-in-law is really good to him. If someone meets the Queen Mother's birthday, he will definitely try his best to please him. He thought that the sister-in-law gave him something by the way, mainly to give the Queen Mother's birthday gift. Now it seems that giving the Queen Mother's gift is by the way.

Bai Juan was also attached to each box of those walnuts. It was written in beautiful fonts, saying what the effect is and how to eat it. I must be afraid that the guards would not remember so much, so I wrote it carefully.

Li Ye brought not enough servants. He didn't expect there were so many things, so everyone worked together to carry the goods onto the carriage, and then asked several servants to rush home and then come.

Li Ye and two girls were waiting at the wharf. He also arranged for them to stay in the royal palace for one night, but the carriage was definitely not enough, so Li Ye asked Yan Shen to lead the way and took more than a dozen people to walk first. Everyone on the boat could not go, and someone had to live in the boat to guard it at night.

While waiting, Li Ye started chatting with the head of the ward guard named Jiaoshan, the son-in-law mansion. Since the ward guard dared to let him take on this job, he must have trusted him very much. After all, it took several days to go north to the water road day and night, and the vast river along the way was called every day and day, and the earth was not effective. In recent years, there have been many troubles. He did not dare to let him take on this job without ability.

Li Ye asked him about the situation along the way and the situation in the south, and he answered truthfully.

According to him, there were indeed water bandits on the waterway, but they were not so bold that they dared to attack a big ship like them.

Most of these bandits are fishermen who have lived by the river for generations. They usually make a living by fishing. Some of them are brave and dare to fight for their lives. If they see a small boat with few people, they will not leave any living things. People who die in the vast river cannot find any corpses, and there is no evidence of death, and the government cannot send troops.

So he also told him that if he goes south in the future, he must not take a boat, and he should bring more people.

Afterwards, he talked about the situation in Luzhou. When he talked about Jiaoshan, a big man with wide shoulders, frowned: "You don't know, Prince. Luzhou is very chaotic now, people are in panic, and the prince-consort's mansion is not at peace.

In April this year, someone rebelled in Ansu Mansion. Luzhou was connected to Ansu Mansion. Less than a day after leaving the city, he arrived at Ansu Mansion. The rebels were struggling with more than 100,000 people. During those days, the gates of Luzhou were closed for several days, so we didn't dare to go out."

"More than 100,000!" Li Ye was a little surprised. He had heard of the rebellion in the south this spring, but it did not cause much storm. He did not expect that the situation would be so serious. Rebellion of more than 100,000 is not a joke, but why did it calm so quickly? Li Ye was a little puzzled: "Is there really more than 100,000 or rumor, why did it quell so quickly?"

"It's the real prince. I've been to the head of the city on the order of my husband to see it. Those people are dense. There are hundreds of miles outside Suzhou City. All the hills are people. At night, it's bright in the sky." Jiao Shanhou said fearfully: "But the rioters are all from the family, including men, women, young and old. There are only two young and strong men in the ten, but they do look scary."

Li Ye, Qiu'er and Yue'er were fascinated by it. After all, they had never seen such a scene before. Jiao Shan suddenly felt novel when he heard it.

"Every time the thief passes, the villagers either hand over the food and go with them. Those who don't leave will be killed. No matter how much the food is handed over to the Holy Lord, the rest must be distributed equally to everyone.

So they were more and more crowded. When they arrived in Luzhou, the prefect ordered the city gate to be closed and did not let people outside the city come in. People in the city could not go out and thieves could not attack them. They would not scold them every day. The villages around Luzhou City were either killed by them or mingled with them.

Later, they spent a few days trying to conquer the city, but they had no car at all. The armored guards were just the personal guards next to the leader of the Holy Lord, so they had no choice but to bypass Luzhou City and go north."

Li Ye nodded. It seemed that the rebellious leader, that is, the Holy Lord, was not at all of a high level. If people continue to be disintegrated, it would be impossible for them to go far.

"What about later?" Yue'er asked quickly.

Jiaoshan smiled with big white teeth and said, "What else can be done later? They couldn't capture the city, and there were so many people. Soon they lost their food. At first, they ate the bark, and the bark was eaten up by the people in front, and there was nothing to eat behind them.

Many people were forced to come, tens of thousands of people walked for dozens of miles and several mountains. How could the Holy Lord see it? He walked away and dispersed, and many people ran back secretly.

Some of them were caught and killed by the Lord's people, but they could not catch them once they were caught. They wanted to go north to Pingzhou, where the city walls were not high, so they could grab the grain by rushing in.

But when people were still on the way, they mutinized because of the food distribution, and their own people started fighting. In the end, there were not many people left when the officers and soldiers left. The Suzhou prefect picked up a great contribution."

"Many people died," Li Ye asked.

Jiao Shan nodded: "There must be tens of thousands. The officers and soldiers killed some, but many of them starved to death. The Holy Lord forced so many people to gather together. Even if they only had to pad their belly, they would have to eat tens of thousands of kilograms of grain in a day. The thief did not have so much grain. The people in front had bark to eat, and the people in the back could run away secretly. The middle was miserable, and those who had no food could not escape. At the worst, they all started to eat people."

Li Ye sighed: "After all, most of them are just ordinary people. Did the Holy Lord catch it?"

Jiao Shan shook his head: "I don't know. Some people said they were killed by the officers and soldiers while the chaos was in trouble, and some people said they didn't kill them and ran away. They didn't know. Not many people have seen him, and in the end the mountain was full of corpses, and those who were killed and starved to death, they couldn't tell the difference at all."

"That's fine. This killing will be peaceful." Yue'er had a sad face after hearing this for so long, and finally laughed out loud.

Qiu'er frowned and shook her head: "I'm afraid it may not be..."
