This is not the Datang I am familiar with

In this era, when paying, the coins issued by the government are generally used, but now Kaiyuan Tongbao is used.

Silver is already a valuable thing. How can ordinary people use it directly? Although it is also a common currency, it is mostly exchanged into coins first. At this time in the Tang Dynasty, the purchasing power of currency is still quite strong. The broken silver that Chen Fang took, It is enough to feed and clothe a family for several months.

"Young master, your accent is not from the local area. You should be from the north. You don't know that there are strange things all over the sea. A while ago, a fisherman in Zhoushan dug a few dog paws from the rocks by the sea. A snail, but that thing is dark purple, like a ghost's claw."

Gooseneck barnacles, Chen Fang heard what the man in the young couple said, and immediately knew what he was talking about.

Goose-necked barnacles are also known as delicacies from hell, and they are somewhat different from the dog-clawed snails produced near Zhoushan. The first is the color, and the second is the shape. Fishermen are used to seeing dog-clawed snails, so they are very excited when they see goose-necked barnacles. I feel strangely long.

Chen Fang casually tossed the piece of broken silver to the man, the silver was regarded as buying news.

The man got the broken silver, and immediately beamed with joy, looked at his wife, happily weighed the broken silver in his hands, and then put it into his bosom.

Chen Fang threw out a piece of broken silver, and at this time took a small brocade bag on his body. The bag was specially taken out this time, and it was full of broken silver, which was convenient for rewarding on the road.

At this time, the bag was opened and thrown in front of the three of them. The three of them naturally saw the white and broken silver inside, and they all looked at it excitedly.

"I don't think you're talking nonsense when you say you've heard about strange things by the sea. You can get a piece of silver."

Chen Fang opened his mouth lightly, and the three of them rushed to tell Chen Fang about the strange things at the seaside.

When Chen Fang saw it, he stopped quickly.

"Take turns, this is a mess, I can't hear it clearly. Let's start with you!"

Chen Fang pointed to the woman in the young couple.

"My dear guest, how big is the biggest crab you've ever seen?"

"The washbasin is big!"

"Ah, the distinguished guest has really seen it?"

Chen Fang wants to say that he has not only seen it, but also eaten it, isn't it the king crab!

Although this food is expensive in later generations, with Chen Fang's purchasing power, it is still possible to eat it a few times.

"Crab with a big face, where did you see it?"

"A fisherman on the beach caught it in the sea. At that time, he said it was a crab general from the Dragon Palace, and he released it back into the sea. There were many people who saw it at that time. It is absolutely true. It is as big as a washbasin."

Chen Fang also exclaimed in his heart, it wasn't the size of the crab, but this Australian-made thing appeared in the southern China Sea.

Then there can only be one situation. Beihan not only discovered America, but also Australia.

It seems inappropriate to use discovery here, but it should be said that the Northern Han Dynasty had already sent people to Australia, and the appearance of this Australian species on the coast of Huaxia can only prove that this thing was brought here accidentally or intentionally by a ship.

And the gooseneck barnacles mentioned earlier, because they are good at clinging to the hulls of whales or boats, may also have been unintentionally brought to China's coastal waters by sea ships.

Chapter 655 Traversing is Really Not Simple

Originally, the water quality required for this thing to survive is excellent, but in this era, the water quality is not bad anywhere on the earth, and there is no such thing as pollution.The water quality problem is extremely easy to solve, so as long as this thing goes wherever it goes, it can basically survive and multiply.

Through these two new species, Chen Fang has realized that the overseas trade of the Northern Han Dynasty was much busier than previously imagined, and there were ships sailing in the coastal waters of Huaxia, otherwise these species would not have arrived in the coastal waters of Huaxia from other places.

Chen Fang also had to lament the slackness of Datang's coastal defense when he thought that there were ships from the Northern Han Dynasty sailing by the coast of Datang, not once or twice, but often, but Datang didn't know about it.

However, there is no way around this. Coastal defense in this era is basically like this, and there is no such thing as radar in the later generations. Who knows that ships pass by a few nautical miles or even a dozen nautical miles.

Chen Fang also guessed based on the reproduction of new species that there were ships from the Northern Han Dynasty that often passed through the coastal waters of the Tang Dynasty.

Otherwise, he would not know!

The involvement of species, on the one hand, is due to natural causes, and on the other hand, it is man-made. For marine species, human activities can easily cause species involvement. Of course, this can be divided into intentional and unintentional.

At this time, it seems that the appearance of emperor crabs and gooseneck barnacles was mostly unintentional. Then, the frequent shipping in the Northern Han Dynasty can also be seen.

At this time, the young couple both got a small piece of silver. The small businessman was in a hurry. Chen Fang looked at him and pointed at him.

"The strange things that happened by the sea you mentioned just now are these two things, right?"

"No, it's a large shellfish. You haven't seen it. It looks very similar to a man's."

"where?"

The wife of the young couple asked, obviously curious.

"Your husband has it, but you don't."

The little daughter-in-law blushed instantly, and she didn't know that the peddler was talking about the man.

Fuck, Chen Fang almost cursed out, geoduck, I didn't expect this thing to actually appear on the coast of Huaxia.

This is something from the Americas, and it appeared on the coast of China at this time, naturally because of shipping.

It seems that the marine activities in the Northern Han Dynasty had caused the migration of a large number of marine organisms.On the one hand, this shows the frequent ocean activities, and on the other hand, it also shows that Chen Fang can really eat geoduck.

Before, Chen Fang wanted to bring Wu Meiniang and the others to the beach to eat oysters and geoduck, but he knew that there were no such things along the coast of China, and the origin of these things was not in China.

I didn't expect to have it at this time, and the quantity is considerable. Otherwise, the fishermen would not have caught it. It is really a scarce commodity. It is so easy to find and catch it.

Moreover, geoducks are not easy to catch. Later generations will use high-pressure water guns to catch them. If they can be caught at this time, one can imagine how much they have multiplied.

You must know that the coastal fishery at this time is still in its most primitive state, and it is completely fished by manpower.With just a few small fishing boats, they dare not go to far seas easily.

All of these can be caught and caught, which shows that these species are not uncommon in the coast of China.

As long as these things are discovered, they already have a certain quantitative basis.

Chen Fang chatted with the three of them for a while, and gave away a lot of broken silver. Naturally, everyone chatted happily, and the three of them couldn't stop thanking them.Actually speaking, the information Chen Fang got from them was not measurable by a few taels of money.

At this time, he bid farewell to the three of them, and then returned to Wu Meiniang's side.

"What's the matter, Chen Fang?"

"It's nothing, Mei Niang, I'm going to the beach this time, I'll treat you to something good."

The boat has already landed on the south bank, and the pier here is also very busy. Wu Meiniang and her party have naturally attracted countless eyes when they landed. This group of people are already dressed luxuriously, and it is even more rare that this group of people are all top-notch in appearance. Of course, the maids are top-notch , can not be called the best.

There is a carriage and horse dealer near the pier. They hired a carriage and said where they were going, and the group got into the carriage.

There, Wu Meiniang waved to Chen Fang, and Chen Fang went to Wu Meiniang's side, the carriage started to drive, and the destination was the shore of Taihu Lake. In fact, it might not be possible to arrive that day, even if it arrived, it would be very late.

As soon as Chen Fang got into Wu Meiniang's carriage, Wu Meiniang grabbed his hand and pulled him into his arms.

"I saw something wrong with your complexion on the boat, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, it's nothing. I just heard a lot of strange things happening at the seaside. I think we might see a lot of weird things when we go to the beach this time. I think it's interesting. Your Majesty lived in Yangzhou before. Have you ever been to the seaside?"

Wu Meiniang shook her head. In this era, the region is closed and people live near the coast. There are many people who have never seen the sea.In later generations, there are not a few inland residents who have seen the sea.

Chen Fang didn't tell Wu Meiniang what he was worried about, because it involved what later generations called the Great Geographical Discovery, so he explained it to Wu Meiniang.Don't bother me, and I can't explain how I know it.

It's better not to talk about it, it will only increase troubles, and it will also make people doubt themselves.

In the end, these things can only be buried in my heart.

Chen Fang thought about it at this time, after all, the early traveler still had the advantage. Seeing that the Northern Han Dynasty had already started conquering America and Australia, people in the Tang Dynasty didn't even know there were these two continents.

This is the gap!The two continents supported the Northern Han Dynasty, and it became increasingly difficult for Chen Fang to guess the strength of the Northern Han Dynasty.

There, Wu Meiniang's hand gently caressed Chen Fang's palm, and then let that palm taste her soft figure. Chen Fang caressed the landscape, but at this moment she didn't think much about it.

Suddenly Chen Fang realized something about the Northern Han Dynasty.

Shipping, sailing, ships.

If the ocean shipping in the Northern Han Dynasty was really frequent, how advanced were their ships, especially the sea-crossing ships that sailed between continents?

You must know that the sea transportation between continents cannot be carried by small ships, and for large ships, the requirements for shipbuilding technology are extremely high.

In the era of great navigation, it was the Ming and Qing dynasties in China. Could it be that the shipbuilding industry of the Northern Han Dynasty at this time has made the Tang and Western Qin can only look up to.

Shipping also involves a lot, such as the understanding of waterways, such as the understanding of the ocean climate, such as the understanding of the ocean wind direction in each season.

There are many more, such as ocean currents, turbulent currents, monsoons and so on.Only then did Chen Fang realize that he had underestimated the former traveler, the one who transmigrated into Liu Xiu, he might have been a navigator, otherwise why the Northern Han Dynasty focused on the exploration and conquest of the New World.

As for the almost death of the Northern Han Dynasty, it was probably just because the one who had just come to this world was not used to it!

As expected, there is no such thing as a simple traveler. Later generations randomly pull out a person.His psychological insights are far from comparable to those of this era. After all, he has received nine years of compulsory education, has been exposed to modern commodity logistics management, and modern industry and military development.

Chapter 656 Guess

Chen Fang leaned against the wall of the carriage, Wu Meiniang threw herself into Chen Fang's arms, Chen Fang caressed the jade woman's body, but his mind wandered all the way.

At some point, the cherry lips were moist and softly stuck to Chen Fang's lips, and Chen Fang woke up from his trance.

Looking at Wu Meiniang at this time, she was looking at herself with seductive eyes like silk, those eyes were full of tenderness and charm, and she was staring at herself closely at this moment.

And her own hand was pressed tightly against her daughter's provocative place.

Chen Fang patted Feng Feng's buttocks with the other hand, and then squeezed Wu Meiniang's body.

"It's in the carriage!"

"But Meiniang wants to!"

"I think so, but I want to taste the taste of your cherry lips."

"Hi, Mei Niang promises you."

Chen Fang caressed her delicately combed temples, stroked her daughter's cheek with her palm, and pinched her unparalleled daughter's face with her index finger and middle finger.

"Chen Fang, just this once, don't let Meiniang do this kind of thing in the future."

Chen Fang patted Wu Meiniang's forehead.

"Do it once and get used to it."

Wu Meiniang stretched out her hand to pinch Chen Fang, and was slapped on the phoenix's buttocks again. Then, Chen Fang held her in her arms and patted the phoenix's buttocks several times.

"Your courage is getting bigger and bigger!"

"It will be bigger in the future, you are my woman, listen to me."

"it is good!"

The convoy moved forward until it was dusk, before arriving near the shore of Taihu Lake, which was the center of the former Wuyue Land, and it was also the place where the famous Wuyue struggle for hegemony was fiercest.

The surrounding area of ​​Taihu Lake is regarded as an important node in the historicization of China. In fact, this lake area has been constantly changing in history. Before Wuyue, it was actually a river alluvial plain. In fact, the Taihu Lake area has been continuously decreasing.

This is the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the time when the area of ​​Taihu Lake was the most prosperous.

In the twilight, Wu Meiniang and her party arrived at the edge of Taihu Lake. At this time, the stars and the moon were just right, but the light was limited after all, and people's eyes could only see a vast water area, reflecting the brilliance of the stars and the moon.

Chen Fang stood with the three princesses by the lake for a while, but in fact, it was mostly Taiping.When the little girl saw the lake water, she felt a little unable to walk.

We all know that the little girl likes to swim in the lake, but I really dare not let her board a boat to go down the lake in the dark.

Looking at the vast lake at this time, there are a few fishing lights floating in the distance, and it is no longer possible to see things further away.

"Taiping, let's go back!"

Chen Fang put his hand on the little girl's shoulder and called her softly.

"Okay, you must accompany me to the lake tomorrow!"

"Okay, I will accompany you!"

Taiping stretched out her arms, and Chen Fang hugged her. This little girl is very attached to Chen Fang, second only to her mother.

The place where he lived at night was a rented mansion near the lake. Since he didn't intend to disturb the local officials, he naturally didn't let the officials arrange a place to live.

The house is very large, with five in and five out, and a specially designed garden.

After Chen Fang went back, Chun had already rushed over and led Chen Fang to the place where he lived.Dingyu and Fengyi were already waiting for him over there.

Practicing swordsmanship, Chen Fang went to Wu Meiniang's residence, but he didn't need to come today, the queen who was already serving in the carriage almost shed tears.

But after all, I got used to staying with her for a while at night, so I still came at this time.

Wu Meiniang was busy there, Chen Fang watched her rinse her mouth, and asked Xiaoyu next to her, she had already brushed her teeth and rinsed her mouth several times.Chen Fang smiled, waved his hand, and let Xiaoyu go out.

"Wash up and serve me later."

"Don't even think about it! Just once, and you are not allowed to come again in the future."

"The carriage told me to listen to me, but now I don't listen."

"It's easy to talk about other things. Let the maid do that. You can choose the maid by my side."

Chen Fang sat on the chair, leaned there, watched Wu Meiniang busy for a while, then put down the teacup, and sat beside Chen Fang.

"Chen Fang, Mei Niang sees that you don't seem to be interested all the way, what's wrong?"
