The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 181
Huang Han said: "Huo Qubing, the champion of the Han Dynasty, said with great ambition, 'The Huns are not destroyed, so there is nothing to do with your family? , which woman can bear it? Haha..."

Ma Xianglin slapped his thigh and shouted loudly: "What a 'Eastern slaves are immortal, no one can take care of his family!' Brother Huang is really a hero. How old is my brother? If you don't dislike it, how about we marry Jinlan?"

Huang Han was willing to make friends with the white-armed soldiers, and of course he was so happy to worship Ma Xianglin, a loyal minister and good general, and said: "Brother loves you so much, how dare you disobey orders, let's set up an incense table here to make a sworn brother, shall we?"

Xu Guangqi and Zheng Guochang heard Ma Xianglin's yelling and hurriedly asked about the situation. Xu Guangqi was very happy when he learned that Huang Han had gone to illness from Bihuo, and he also came to have a drink with the closed disciples.

At this time, Zheng Guochang took the opportunity to solemnly say to Xu Guangqi: "Master Xu, there is a little girl Xiu'e under my knees who has not left the cabinet. How about asking your lord to be a matchmaker to tie the knot with the high student Huang Han?"

Zheng Guochang is too shrewd, no wonder he became a great official of the Ming Dynasty when he was less than 50 years old. Sure enough, he has two brushes. Huang Han, a valiant warrior, worshiped under Xu Guangqi's family, so he naturally took off his vulgar coat of warrior. It will be a good story.

Xu Guangqi heard the words and said: "This is a good thing! It is his blessing that Huang Han can marry Ling Ai as his wife. Tomorrow, I will meet Huang Han's father in Kaiping Town. At that time, I will definitely finalize this matter. "

The two of them didn't hide, their voices were very loud, Qin Liangyu was overjoyed to congratulate the two lords when he heard it, Ma Xianglin over there was sworn to Huang Han while he was drunk and didn't hear it, a large group of generals were booing.

However, Qin Yuyi heard Qin Liangyu and Zheng Guochang's conversation very clearly, and her face turned pale in an instant. Zhang Fengyi also heard it. Seeing the little girl's tottering appearance, she was shocked and hurried forward to help her.

I saw Qin Yuyi's big teardrops rolling down, and said in her mouth: "Sister-in-law, I feel bad..."

This is simply taking love with a knife!Why did Zheng Fantai ask Mr. Xu to protect the media at this time?Zhang Fengyi immediately felt extremely disappointed, and quietly helped her sister out of the banquet hall.

In the evening, in the mansion of a former Yongping rich family arranged for Qin Liangyu to use temporarily, the old lady sighed after hearing her daughter-in-law explain the ins and outs.

I blamed myself in my heart for not caring about my daughter's lifelong affairs, why I didn't see her thoughts.

If he had opened his mouth even an hour earlier, with Zheng Guochang's position, how could he have the nerve to mention the matter of marrying his daughter to Huang Han?It is really a pity that a good marriage has just missed.

Qin Liangyu comforted Qin Yuyi, who was told by her sister-in-law that she had broken her mind and had already cried into tears, and said:

"Hey! Fate is really something that can't be forced, and Huang Han was full of joy when he saw it for his mother. Who knew that at today's banquet, Zheng Fantai asked Xu Shilang to be a matchmaker in public, and my mother was happy to congratulate them at that time. on."

The tearful Qin Yuyi said pitifully, "Mother, can my daughter ask you one thing?"

Seeing the child he raised who had always been strong crying sadly, Qin Liangyu couldn't bear it, and said softly: "Don't cry anymore, just say what's on your mind, as a mother, I agree, don't hold back your body."

"Daughter misses the marriage and does not blame others. I just ask my mother not to raise her in-law's family for her daughter again. The daughter does not marry. The daughter wants to serve her mother all her life."

Qin Liangyu knew that Qin Yuyi's heart should be pierced at this time, so she could only coax her and said: "Mother will not force you, having a good daughter by her side all day long is what mother wished for!"

It is normal to say that Daming has three wives and four concubines, why would Qin Yuyi be heartbroken when she saw that Zheng Fantai was going to betroth his daughter to Huang Han?
That is a misunderstanding of many people. The Ming Dynasty did not have three wives and four concubines at all, but one wife and multiple concubines. Concubines did not have any protection. They were not too different from slaves. The main wife of the head of the family had the right to sell concubines as commodities.

The Qin family and the Ma family are the big chieftains in the middle of Sichuan, and they also exist like the emperor of the land. With Qin Yuyi's identity, she absolutely cannot become anyone's concubine. Huang Han has Zheng Yue'e as a big wife, and naturally declares that Qin Yuyi is useless.

Huang Han knew that it was impossible to fall in love freely in the Ming Dynasty, and he never thought about it at all. He was seeking greater power, and now the entire capital is full of ordinary people who have lost their property and homes.

As long as there is enough food, many war refugees can be taken in. After this year, these people will become the source of their strength in the future.

To save tens of millions of Han Chinese in this troubled time at the end of Ming Dynasty, it is far from enough to rely on force alone, and the goal can only be achieved by increasing food.

This is an addition, and it is only on the basis of an increase in the total amount of food that more Han people can be truly saved.

Instead of just letting the people under his command and the people in his jurisdiction have enough food and clothing while the total amount of food remains unchanged, it will not help. There are 10 people alive here, and [-] or more will die somewhere.

Huang Han believes that there are several ways to solve this problem. The first is of course to increase grain production as much as possible.

With Xu Guangqi's spare no effort to help, and with the capital and acres of land looted during this period of time to promote, high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and maize, that is, corn, will soon become popular in Yongping Prefecture.

Next year, we will choose high-quality fields close to water sources to promote the cold-resistant rice successfully researched by Xu Guangqi. Although the total amount of these good fields is less than [-]%, planting rice will increase the grain yield by [-]% to [-]%, which is equivalent to [-]% more good fields.

Another thing is to ask for protein from the sea. A few days ago, Huang Kezao went to the seaside to buy sea fish products. The method of making sea fish like canned food for later generations is really good. In the future, Huang’s own ceramic kiln will mass produce about ten catties. Clay pots are available to coastal fishermen at low prices.

Liaodong Bay is a traditional fishing ground. It is an important fishing ground for small yellow croaker, hairtail, and prawn. In this era, the aquatic fishing industry is extremely underdeveloped, and the damage to fishery resources caused by marine fishing has not occurred at all.

The vast Liaodong Bay fishing ground has an area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers, and the fishing ground resources are particularly rich, such as small yellow croaker, hairtail, prawn, jellyfish, hairy shrimp, crab, mackerel, yellow croaker, red sea bream, plum boy, green scale Fish, mackerel, Spanish mackerel, etc. are innumerable.

Huang Han also thought of a way to increase the enthusiasm of coastal fishermen to go fishing, that is, to increase the purchase price by paying money, so that the remuneration they get for their labor can be more than [-]% higher than before.

If there is no profit, it will not be early, and the sea fish caught by the fishermen will not worry about the market and sell at a good price, so more fishing boats will go to sea. They will naturally repair fishing boats, build new boats, and seek more efficient fishing skills when they earn money. The industrial chain will be formed soon.

The last thing is to find ways to organize a large-scale fleet to import food from Japan or Annan. As for whether the Japanese and Dayue people starve to death, Huang Han has nothing to do with it.
