The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 100 The Early Development of the Great Xia Navy

A year is long and short.

Gao Huaiyu spent half a year recuperating from the knife wound. The [-] sailors added by his emperor's brother-in-law have now been practiced. They are all tanned and spend half of the day splashing about in the water, killing each other. The enemy's ability is not allowed to fall for a day.

The supply of food and grass on the shore was also provided in a timely manner. They could also grow some fruits and vegetables by themselves, and even raised piglets. There was no shortage of prey on the island, and seafood was eaten at every meal.

In addition to basic food, grass and weapons and equipment, after Xia Hongdi became emperor, he naturally took control of the firecrackers in the military department.

My brother-in-law digs gold and boils salt for himself on that remote island.

Later, when the Japanese attacked, my brother-in-law was seriously injured. In a rage, Xia Hongdi not only added [-] troops, ten sea ships, but also equipped my brother-in-law with [-] firecrackers. From now on, the sea will be conquered by my brother-in-law. .

Gao Huaijin took his more than 5 sailors, and during this year, he did not only train troops but also train troops.

In their spare time, they searched Shieldfish Island and the nearby islands. There were no large gold mines, but a few small gold mines and silver mines were found.

They raised the treatment for the black slaves who mined the mines, gave them enough to eat, and didn't beat and scold them casually. These people worked very hard.

The salt cooking in the salt field did not stop, and the scale was even increased. The emperor transported more than 1000 salt cookers from the shore, and the amount of salt produced more than doubled.

The reason why he didn't stop training for a moment, Gao Huaijin also figured out something: their family has no military power in Shu, and there are many general headquarters who have fought with brother-in-law.

On land, their Gao family had no advantage, so at sea, he had to find a way for his family, a way that no one else could replace.

From time to time, they can also meet some merchants who do sea trade, judging from the pieced together information.

To the west, there are still many countries they don't know about. He thinks, perhaps, the navy will be the sharpest weapon of Great Xia in the future.

Therefore, gold mines and salt bars are all money trails, and he didn't care too much. He even asked the Ministry of Finance to send people to guard the gold mine. They don't mix with these accounts, they are the guards of the gold mine!
The fact that the Gao family is not rare does not mean that others are not rare!

Daxia's salt industry is mainly located in Jiangnan and Haiyan, but these are basically controlled by major families, and outsiders will not be easily interfered, and the royal family has nothing to do with them.

There is also a place of production in Bashu, Jingyan, which is under the control of the imperial court now, thanks to the fact that the emperor has stayed in Shu for more than ten years, and the Yue family has military power.

With the continuous shipment of sea salt from Dunyu Island to the shore, the common people have affordable official salt to buy.

The salt industry in the south of the Yangtze River has lost its former toughness. The imperial court has been unable to understand what they have done on the salt tax for many years.

In Lingnan, on a certain island at the southernmost tip, the head of the Ouyang family is throwing a fit.

"Amin, what do you think has become of the things I asked you to do before? Over the past year, what has our family been suppressed like? Ah! If you hadn't watched Po Wen come out of the delivery room with my own eyes If you are full, I will doubt whether you are my seed!"

"Father, I was wrong. I didn't expect those pirates to be taken away by the court. You said, the court has never fought at sea before. Who would have thought of it? My son hasn't done it yet. I understand what's going on!"

"Could it be that our rivals leaked the secret? We must not be the only ones who knew about those firecrackers back then! Besides, how did the imperial court find the location of the shieldfish island? How could it be such a coincidence? You sent it with your front foot, and your back foot was caught It's over!"

"It's not impossible, dad. Our sales in the salt field have dropped by [-]% this year. The new emperor has a really big appetite. The official salt has never been cut off. If this continues, our salt will also have to be sold." It's the same price as official salt!"

"Hmph, this shieldfish island is only that big, we can't do anything to them, there is always someone who can take care of them, like you"

The Ouyang family, as a top-ranking family, although the eldest prince Ning Wang they supported was defeated in the battle for the throne and went into exile overseas, but the foundation of the family for hundreds of years is not so easy to collapse.

After Xia Hongdi came to power, all the officials of the Ouyang family who were officials in the imperial court were fired. However, they have been in business for so many years, and there are still many hidden clues, and they can basically know all about the court's movements.

The salt field is also the most important pillar industry of the Ouyang family. Apart from the salt industry, the Ouyang family also had the most money houses in the Great Xia Dynasty. It is said that Uncle Lu Wang’s family is a great imperial merchant, but in terms of wealth, the Ouyang family is the richest man .

Now, the general environment is not good for the richest family.

Patriarch Ouyang scolded King Ning a hundred times every day. As for his daughter, Concubine Shu, he let her die, she was already an outcast of the family.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian are still imprisoned in the temple. With them, there are also their daughters-in-law and the whole family, except for their son (man).

Cuihua doesn't know how outrageous their butterfly fans are. A dynasty with military power on land, just because they want to find a few members of their family, now also pays attention to the sea, and has trained a sturdy navy.

She can't care about anything now, it's the twelfth lunar month again, and her workshop has finished making this year's gray noodles, and it's time to prepare for the New Year.

In the twelfth lunar month, I have to make all kinds of preserved meat for the New Year, and I have to give gifts to people I have dealings with. In short, I am very busy.

Yuan Laoer and Yuan Laosan, who had been away for nearly a year, also returned to the capital. They completed their tasks this year very well.

The toilet workshop in Lingnan is making a lot of money every day. These two people have successfully completed the task, and now the people sent by the Ministry of Industry are in charge of the management.

Mrs. Ma's face is flushed these days, and she yelled, asking the kitchen to provide her sons with various soups and waters. There is a kind of thinness that means mother thinks you are thinner.

She was even more envious of the daughters-in-law of the Hu family. Two of them were pregnant with their second child, and one was married on the same day as his family. Her family could not be left behind.

The birth made Fan Qinghe, the second daughter-in-law, scalp numb. She hurt her vitality when she gave birth to her third head, and it didn't take long for her to recover. Can she get pregnant?

Sister Yuan's pregnancy was a bit difficult, she vomited up all the bile, and Ding Jia was so anxious that she was afraid that Ding Doudou would not be able to take care of her, so she sent Ding Doudou to Cuihua, and asked him to be with the twins Play.

For this little cousin who is a few months younger than them, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu are very big brothers, they don't bully Doudou, and they are willing to play with him.

As for why the third and fourth heads are beaten, people say: Brother is bad, grab cakes, beat brother!
Sister Yuan's morning sickness was finally relieved by Cuihua's sugar garlic, so she could only drink porridge with sugar garlic, and she didn't dare to touch meat. Still losing weight day by day.

Ding Doudou had to moan when she was sleeping at night, and she had to find her mother when it was dark, so Cuihua had to ask the two elder brothers to help her. Big Brother and Ertou Brother told them stories, so interesting stories!

He had a great time with his two elder brothers during the day, and the dishes cooked by his aunt were also very good.

The three children all ate the same meal, and Cuihua acted as a referee for them.

"Well, for this lunch, Doudou ate the most vegetables and the cleanest food. Doudou is the king of food for this meal. Auntie rewarded Doudou with a small cake, which you two don't have! "

Xiao Wu said nothing, hum, he doesn't like to eat vegetables, if it wasn't for growing taller, he could just eat meat and balls every day.

Xiao Liu is not happy, he doesn't like vegetables as much as his brother, but compared to meat, vegetables are still not so delicious, he can't compare with Doudou, woo, there is no small cake, so unhappy.

Ding Doudou narrowed his eyes with a smile, biting the small cake with his small teeth, eating deliciously, he ate so many vegetables just to get his aunt's reward, hehe, he doesn't like vegetables that much either.

Cuihua can't see the expressions of the children, it's really a meal, and she has to fight wits and courage with them!
The vegetables that can be eaten in Daxia are not as rich as later generations. The common ones are:

Dozens of cabbage, bean sprouts, mustard greens, lettuce, cucumber, wax gourd, leek, eggplant, radish, lotus root, gourd, bracken, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, etc.

In order to let these bear children eat more vegetables, Cuihua had to smuggle vegetables into space frequently.

Because the vegetables in the space are so juicy, they are very different from Daxia's at first glance. On weekdays, Hei Wa is very strict with her.

She had to change the appearance of the vegetables. The eggplant boxes and lotus root clips needed to be arranged, but she didn't dare to give them more fried ones.

Everyone is tired of eating boiled cabbage heart. For winter melon and radish, even space dishes, the taste is sweeter, but the original taste of the dish is still there.

They were very disgusted with the delicacy of Pea Tips, Xiao Wu immediately closed his mouth: "It tastes bad, don't eat it!"

Xiao Liu exclaimed: "Green, green, weird!"

Ding Doudou followed suit: "It's not good, it's not good!"

What about chopping cabbage into fine pieces, adding minced meat, and making dumplings?What about cutting lotus root into small cubes and steaming meat patties?
That's okay, because it still tastes like meat when you eat it like this!

Hei Wa didn't have this patience: "If you don't like eating food, then father will take you to the Zhuangzi and ask you to go to other children's homes to have a few meals, and see if you are still picky eaters!"

If these boys were not too young, their father would send them to the village.

The big head and the second head looked at Zhi Le, they ate in the front yard most of the time, and Mr. Fan, Xiao Chuan, Xiao Shan and the others also made nutritious meals in the small kitchen.

Aunt Qiu played her role in this autumn and winter season, and made a lot of medicinal food. Old man Fan was very happy to eat it. He must eat the medicinal food well to live a long life.

The little grandniece in the family has learned to look good now, and he can take it seriously, even if the marriage with the Yuan Mansion fails in the end, the skills he has learned can't be faked.

In the future, people will say that this is a girl who was brought up by a few nuns from the palace. They are noble and noble, and they can also climb up. Mmm, I have to write a letter to talk to my brother.
