Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 186 Water Bandits
Chapter 186 The Water Bandit
Come back home?

When Qin Yang said this, he obviously said it subconsciously.

But hearing it in the ears of Princess Changle made her shy again.

Qin Yang was unaware of this, seeing that everything was tidied up here, he led the people back.

He shared a car with Princess Changle, and when the car entered the county town, Princess Changle also looked out from time to time.

To be honest, Youzhou County City is far inferior to Chang'an City in terms of scale.

After the shock of the new district, looking at this county town, the sense of surprise is also gone.

But the people walking on the road all had hope on their faces, without numbness at all.

This alone is surprising.

Princess Changle couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The people here look contented and happy, living and working in peace and contentment."

"Is it because it is close to the Northland, so it is more open-minded by nature?"

Qin Yang couldn't help laughing, and said: "When is it because of this reason, whether the people live well or not depends on whether the local government is a good person."

"If you don't behave like a human being and continue to pay all kinds of exorbitant taxes, no matter how open-minded you are, you will be forced to death."

"On the contrary, if the government is a man, the people will have a way to live, and they will naturally be able to live and work in peace and contentment."

These words are not rough.

Princess Changle nodded, and then deliberately laughed at him: "It sounds like you are boasting?"

Qin Yang smiled heartily, and said confidently: "I'm good at what I do, of course I can boast!"

Princess Changle couldn't take her eyes off such a confident young man.

After a while, she looked away, and then said: "Are you busy these few days? If not, I want to go around Youzhou before leaving. Can you accompany me?"

"Naturally."

He can still spare this time.

Princess Changle just came with the angel group for a while, and when the angel group left, she had to go too.

At most, it would only be half a month. If he couldn't spare such a little time, it would be too much.

Besides, he is the king of Youzhou, not the governor of Youzhou, Zhang Yunji is responsible for all the big and small matters!
He was very reassured and planned to push all the recent affairs to Zhang Yunji. Qin Yang had already figured out where to go with Princess Changle for half a month on the road.

The four counties he has gathered in his hands are all tourist attractions.

He can also take Princess Changle to see the process of planting, picking, and canning excellent fruit trees.

There are relatively few things to play here in the county city. It is enough to take the other party around the city and see the situation in the city.

If there is really anything to play in May, it is probably the Grand Canal not far from Youzhou County.

It is a grand canal from Youzhou to Hangzhou. The river is wide and the scenery on both sides is not bad.

Wouldn't it be beautiful to take a boat ride, listen to music, and enjoy the scenery?

With this in mind, as soon as he returned to Youzhou Prince's Mansion and settled Princess Changle down, Qin Yang called for the head craftsman.

At the same time, several officials sent by Zhang Yunji to work for him were also called.

"Are there cruise ships near the Grand Canal?" Qin Yang asked directly without any nonsense as soon as they arrived.

The craftsman shrank aside and didn't say a word. The matter he was asking now had little to do with him.

After being called, the first few officials looked at each other, and they all had a bad feeling.

"Your Majesty, you asked the cruise ship, do you want to go to the Grand Canal?" an official asked.

Everyone else looked at Qin Yang, waiting for Qin Yang to answer.

Qin Yang replied: "That's right, it was winter when I came to Youzhou, and I never had a chance to go to the Grand Canal. Now in May, it's a good time to swim on the river, so I plan to take people there to have fun."

He saw the hesitation on the faces of these people, and asked keenly: "What? But what's the problem?"

Another official replied hesitantly: "Your Majesty, if you're just playing around, then it's nothing."

What do you mean?
Just playing nearby, no problem?
This subtext means that if you go to a distance, there will be a problem?
Qin Yang thought of this, so he asked directly.

The two officials who spoke first hesitated and did not speak.

It was another official who pointed out the matter bluntly at this time.

"My lord, this matter is actually related to the water bandits."

said the official with a sigh.

"The Grand Canal runs from Youzhou to Hangzhou, and many passing merchant ships will go through the Grand Canal."

"Because the Grand Canal passes through many places and cannot be managed uniformly, some water bandits have emerged."

"They are running around, hit them here, they go to another place. Beat them elsewhere, they go again."

"And if you beat them hard, you will be retaliated after a year or so."

"It's always been a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no reason for a thousand days to guard against a thief."

"Back when Yan... that one was still there, he once beat up the water bandits. As a result, that one is gone, and the water bandits took revenge. Now the waterway in Youzhou, the merchants dare not leave easily. Big caravan, we need to take care of them along the way."

"My lord, they come and go without a trace. They are brave by nature. It's better not to provoke them."

There is such a thing?
Qin Yang hadn't paid attention to the Grand Canal before, and he didn't know that there were such arrogant water bandits in his territory!
No, it's not his territory either. After all, from what the officials said, these water bandits are obviously looking for their homes and doing harm everywhere!
After destroying the entire river, no one tried to unite and wipe out these water bandits?
Qin Yang thought it was incredible, but the three officials didn't seem to be joking.

Qin Yang was silent for a while, and said: "This king knows. So, there are actually cruise ships on the shore, right?"

An official replied: "There are not only cruise ships, but also official ships."

Qin Yang nodded, then waved them back.

The three officials thought that this was a reminder to the queen, and the king understood it in his heart.

After they left, Qin Yang sat there silent for a while, and suddenly asked the craftsman leader: "You said before that you can repair ships, right?"

The craftsman was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, the villain can indeed repair boats, and he has built small boats before."

"The official ships in Youzhou were all supervised by you with your disciples and grandchildren, right?"

Because the ships are all from the shipyard, but whether it is a private ship or an official ship, they will add something and repair it at any time.

In this case, it is natural that each has a craftsman who can do these things.

The craftsman hurriedly answered yes.

"I have something for you to help pack on the ship, but you need to keep this matter a secret. Bring someone you can trust to install and repair the thing that the king told you within three days. I will reward you a lot."

"Yes."

Three days later, Qin Yang boarded a two-story cruise ship with Princess Changle, who had already traveled around Youzhou.

Princess Changle looked at the ship and felt that there was something wrong with the ship, but when she looked carefully, she couldn't see anything wrong.

She asked, "Is this a cruise ship?"
