Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 563 Vote to the North Country, Share Wealth and Honor

Han Silang is a fisherman by the river. Not only is he a fisherman, but his family has been fishermen for generations.

But the life of the fishermen by the big river is much better than that of the fishermen by the big river.

In addition to the absence of perennial wars, this has a lot to do with property.

Of course, Han Silang doesn't know what the Little Ice Age is. He only knows that his ancestors said that the weather on both sides of the river and even in the entire Jiangnan West Road has begun to improve.

The Little Ice Age was not entirely a bad thing for China, which has a vast land and abundant resources.

After the climate turned cold, Jiangnan Road, which was originally densely covered with swamps and plagued by miasma, gradually became more livable.

There is an inaccurate analogy. The temperature in the Central Plains of Henan and Guanzhong is equivalent to that of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai in later generations.

Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are equivalent to Lingnan.

Lingnan is as hot as Nanyang.

As for Nanyang, if ordinary people go, it is really close to death.

During the Little Ice Age, temperatures generally dropped and the climate changed accordingly.

The Central Plains, especially Guanzhong, Hexi, and Longyou began to suffer from drought and less rain, while the south of the Yangtze River became more livable, and even Lingnan was far less humid and hot than before.

This heavenly power is actually the reason why the Dashi Bohai Kingdom was short-lived, the Southern Han Dynasty was quite prosperous, the population increased rapidly, and the Jinghai Jiedushi began to fight for independence.

Under the might of the sky, the Northeast where the Bohai Kingdom is located has become colder year by year, unable to support a rich cultural power.

In the past, it was a place where birds don’t shit, and exiled prisoners would rather commit suicide than go to the Land of Cochin, but it gradually became suitable for human habitation and became more and more prosperous.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Han Silang for the time being. He only feels that the products are beginning to be abundant. Many surrounding swamps have been reclaimed into paddy fields, and rice, chicken, duck and fish seem to be easier to come by than before.

Therefore, even if he is a bottom-level fisherman, Han Silang is still very satisfied. He hates all unnatural changes in his heart.

For those Zhou people who suddenly appeared and then occupied the Eastern Capital, that's how he saw it. He wished that all the Zhou people disappeared now.

"Han Laoyuan! Han Laoyuan! Go to Dongdufu!" On the bank, a strong man from his family was calling Han Silang.

correct!Han Silang's name is just what Han Silang called himself. Not only is he an outsider, but even his parents and elder brothers are called him by Laoyuan and Laoyuan.

Turtle is a kind of big turtle, with sharp-billed monkey cheeks, beeping, and dark, it fits perfectly with Han Silang's image.

So Laoyuan became the official name of Han Silang who didn't even have a name.

Han Silang was very displeased when people called him that, but he never liked to make noise, let alone quarrel with others, so he raised his neck and stretched his head out to see what the strong man in his family had to say.

This appearance really looks like an old turtle.

"Hey! Look at what this is?" The strong man from the family shouted very proudly, and then shook the things in his hand.

Han Silang saw it for real now, and his envious eyes began to burst into flames.

What the strong man of the family was carrying was a large roll of suet, a large piece of bacon, and two white cloths on his shoulders, not burlap but white cotton.

Han Silang swallowed hard. These fishermen, in fact, have no shortage of small fish and shrimps, and their food is better than that of ordinary farmers.

But for things that are not produced in the river, such as mutton fat and bacon, they are extremely eager.

Han Silang was thinking, if he could fry a little fish in mutton oil every day, it would be like a fairy.

As for the two bolts of white cloth, it goes without saying that Han Silang doesn't have a full set of clothes yet, and the underwear on his body has been mended badly. Two bolts of white cloth are enough for the whole family, including his wife and daughter, to make a whole body. up.

But the strong man was a little unhappy, he felt that Han Silang was a little blind, and he didn't see the most important thing after looking for a long time!
So the strong man hurriedly put the bacon on the grass, he was reluctant to put the mutton fat, it would be a pity if it was stained by weeds and leaves.

Putting down the bacon, the strong man patted his waist hard with his free right hand, and there was a sudden sound of metal collision.

Han Silang heard a thrill, this is the sound of copper coins, the sound of copper coins he has been thinking about day and night!
This poor fisherman with skin as black as coal and ugly as an old turtle suddenly rushed towards the strong man. If he didn't like words, he would be gone in an instant.

The strong man of the family was startled by Han Silang, thinking that Han Silang was coming to steal his money, and wanted to hit Han Silang with the sheep oil in his hand, but he was very reluctant to see it.

Fortunately, Han Silang didn't come to grab something. He rushed to a place five or six steps away from the strong man, and knelt down with a plop.

"Second brother too! Where did you get these money, and show Lao Yuan the way!"

Han Silang knew very well in his heart that although this strong man in his family was born strong, he would be a dragon in the water, but his family had few brothers, and he worked hard all by himself. He was almost thirty without a wife, and his life was worse than that of his family. Not as good.

This time I got so many benefits, and even mentioned the word Dongdufu, so there must be some way to get it.

The strong man rolled his eyes, "Then you got something, you need to thank a certain bowl of sheep oil."

"Success! Just give me a bowl of sheep oil!" Han Silang agreed.

The strong man suddenly felt that he seemed to have found a way to get rich, so he gritted his teeth.

"Then go and ask the patriarch to call people over, and thank each person with a bowl of sheep oil, and I will take you to get the money."

. . . .

At sunset, in this small fishing village called the Han family, the fishermen returned from Jiangdu Prefecture with a full load.

It's just that the strong man's second-hand businessman didn't succeed. The brothers in the clan knew that it was the Zhou Guoguan of Jiangdu Prefecture who showed kindness, and they all refused to give a bowl of mutton.

However, although the strong man didn't get any oil from his brothers, they all benefited, and they walked back very happily.

That night, these poor peasants became rich for the first time. They fried fish in mutton oil, fried bacon in mutton oil, and had enough brown rice. If they were willing to spare some, they even brought chicken and goose to fry.

Adults who only eat sigh and prodigal, while children smile happily.

They didn't even wait until the next day. After eating, the women got together. They shared an oil lamp, scissors and wooden rulers in the clan, and started making clothes.

The children couldn't sleep either, and they waited for their mother to make their clothes.

At this time, the poor, many families, could not change new clothes once a year, and their desire for white cotton clothes was unimaginable to future generations.

However, this joy disappeared after only one night. The children who were reluctant to take off their new clothes were still clamoring for fried chicken, and the men had long been summoned by the patriarch.

The patriarch of the Han family is a short and strong man with several scars on his face. It is said that they were left when he fought with Wu Guoshui division. In addition, he is ruthless and ruthless. He is well-known in several nearby fishing villages.

So at this time, not only the fishermen of the Han family surrounded him, but also the fishermen of Li, Chen, and Cao villages around him.

There may not be hundreds of young men at the scene, all of whom grew up by the river and have good water skills.

The head of the Han family had a gloomy face, and he was blaming the strong man who was the first to come back to report and wanted to be a second-hand dealer.

"Yesterday, I refused to let you go, you insisted on going! How easy is it to get gold back money, white cotton cloth, rice flour, grain and oil?
It was all from the officials of the Eastern Capital, and it was the money of the prince Nanchang King. We have taken their things now, and there has been news from Jiangning City that anyone who takes these goods will be rebellious against the party and will be executed! "

The faces of the fishermen around them turned pale immediately, and the words "rebel against the party" and "execute all" struck their hearts like thunder from the nine heavens.

The whole family just got the property yesterday and celebrated happily, but today they have turned against the party.

Han Silang was also frightened. He trembled and said in a trembling voice, "Why don't we return the things, if so."

But before Han Silang finished speaking, the patriarch gave him a contemptuous look.

"Go back? You ate it in your stomach, and your whole family passed it on to you. How can you return it? Even if you cut your stomach open, you won't go back."

The crowd was silent again, and some timid ones had already begun to cry. In the silence, the first strong man who went to collect the things suddenly yelled.

"I won't return it! Even if I can return it, I won't return it. This is obviously because the officials are incompetent. I was sent to the Eastern Capital by the Zhou people. I lost my things. It was the Zhou people who asked them to go to the Zhou people."

The reason why the strong man exploded was very simple. He had already made an agreement with the family in Caojia Village yesterday night. If he sent the half hanging money and two white cloths, they would marry their daughter to him.

The strong man was almost thirty, and he finally had the hope of marrying a wife, but this was suddenly shattered, and he wished he could die on the spot.

When he yelled, the unhappy people around him also yelled. Under the conscious or unintentional guidance of the patriarch Han's son, their topic gradually changed from being labeled as rebellious against the party to dissatisfaction with the court.

At this time in the Southern Tang Dynasty, although it was not in the period of the later master Li Yu, in order to fight the Northern Song Dynasty to raise military expenses, even the goose had to pay taxes for laying two eggs a day, but compared with the Central Plains and Nanping, it was very Heavy.

The more people talked, the more furious they became, and the more they talked, the more grief and indignation. In the end, everyone felt that they couldn't live anymore. Even the patriarchs of Li and Chen couldn't help yelling.

The fire is here!
The patriarch Han suddenly interrupted everyone's discussion irritably, "The matter has come to this, what effect can shouting and scolding have? Your life will be lost, so what's the use of being angry?"

Photographed in the "prestige" of the patriarch Han, all the fishermen immediately fell silent. The patriarchs of several families glanced at each other, knowing that the patriarch Han has always had a way, and they all bowed their hands together.

"Brother Han Liu, is there a way out for this matter? You are used to big scenes, and even killed Wu officials. Give us farm slaves some advice!"

The patriarch Han coughed and pretended to be hesitant.

"Let's talk about it first. I'm going to leave this road, and the family members will follow suit. But whether you can walk or not depends on you."

The head of the Chen family twitched his eyelids, and the first thing he thought of was, he looked at the head of the Han family dumbfounded.

"Sixth brother, you want it." The head of the Chen family said, pointing to the north.

"That's right!" The head of the Han family nodded sharply and said: "We have taken the money and goods from the Zhou people, and we have no way to survive. If the Zhou people lose, the emperor and king of Jiangning City will definitely not spare us.

He is not benevolent and I am not righteous, so it is better for us to help Zhou people, maybe there is still a way to survive.

Even if you lose, you can follow the Zhou people to Chuzhou. They abolished the general levy and miscellaneous taxes in Chuzhou. It is better to go to Chuzhou than to be exploited here. "

A look of hatred flashed in the eyes of the head of the Chen family. At the beginning of the year, his eldest son was rammed into the river by an official boat with people and fishing boats, and his bones were never seen. He beat the whip and threw himself into the river when he came back.

In fact, the head of the Chen family had long wanted to give up his life and kill a few officials to avenge his son and daughter-in-law.

"Brother Han Liu, I've done it with you. My brother-in-law is working in Taizhou and can open the east gate of Taizhou. Why don't we go and sell Taizhou to the Emperor Zhou and fight for great wealth!"

Rao, the patriarch Han who had been prepared for a long time, was also shocked by the proposal of patriarch Chen.

If this is done well, that would be a great achievement!He remembered what the Zhou official said to him.

"The Son of Heaven wants to establish the Tang Dynasty, but there is only a shortage of boat operators. If you can bring in a hundred people, you will immediately become the captain of the navy, and if you bring in five hundred people, you will be the Marquis of Duyu. The prosperity is just around the corner. It only depends on how brave you are." Not too big."

Patriarch Han's eyes shot out the extreme desire for wealth, he reached out and grabbed Patriarch Chen's hand, and said in a low voice.

"You and I each summon our stable nephews, and let them all press their fingerprints, and vote for the Emperor of Zhou together, and share wealth and honor!"
