However, this kind of project is systematic and grand. It cannot be completed overnight, and no matter how anxious one might be, it can't be rushed. Wang Shouzhe simply boarded the slightly larger boat on the inner river, standing on the high pile of rice bags, and followed the waterway of Fenggu Farm back to the Wang Family's Main Residence.
The boats on the inner river are very small, and this largest one is only about six zhang long. It reaches its limit merely by carrying four or five hundred dan of grain, with a carrying capacity far less than river boats. Furthermore, it does not use sail power but relies solely on the boatmen paddling and poling.
Fortunately, the water flow on the inner river is stable. With the combined effort of paddling and poling, the boat can barely move, yet it took more than an hour to traverse the winding twenty-li river channel. Comparing with Earth's speed, it is only equivalent to more than two kilometers per hour.
