The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 81

In Kunning Palace, Cuihua was still talking with Empress Gao, drinking tea and eating snacks, very relaxed.

"Your Majesty, the courtier's wife has lived in the village since she was a child. Only after she got married did she realize the difficulty of being a wife. Every family in every village is similar."

"The conditions in the family are better. If the man is more promising and can earn money to support the family, he is a favorite, and there are thousands of choices for a wife."

"However, in such a family, when the daughter-in-law gets married, she not only has to wash, cook, raise poultry, have children, but also honor her in-laws. There is no free time all day long."

"If you meet those good-for-nothing men, first of all, they have no skills, and second, they don't want to work hard. They can't even get day laborers. How can they talk about supporting their families?"

"It's even more difficult for the daughter-in-law at home. In addition to the above housework, she also has to grow food on the ground. She has to cut pigweed in summer and collect firewood in winter. Just to earn some copper coins for the family, she can't even eat enough after working so hard. And leave the good ones for the boys and men to eat."

"What's the most difficult thing? Those who can't give birth to a boy, don't know whether these families will have a son to inherit the mud house or something? They keep saying that they want to pass on the family!"

"Mother-in-law and men hate her so much, and beating and scolding is commonplace, and some even get divorced and go back to her natal family. This is the case with the elder sister of the minister's wife's family. Even the dowry was deducted, and my eldest sister was driven back. Home, my family was so angry back then that I almost burned his house down!"

"What's the most irritating thing? Those days just passed a little bit, and those who earned a little more money also grew a flowery heart. Maybe someday I will bring you back a younger sister. How many daughters-in-law can be tough? Get married and go home? The one who can choose to remarry is not a widower, an old bachelor?"

"The above is the life of the daughters-in-law in our village. You said, the courtiers are a little capable, how can you not miss them and give them some ways to make money?"

"That's why, starting from the oyster sauce shop, you have been trying your best to get a wife!" Empress Gao was thoughtful, trying to understand some of Cuihua's actions.

"That's right, the minister's wife always thinks, give them a chance to earn money to support their family, and make their lives easier. They are tough when they make money, mothers-in-law and men always think about it before they quarrel, don't they?"

"To put it bluntly, even if you can't have a son, earn a little more dowry for your daughter, or save some pension money for yourself, and when you get old, can't you spend money to buy a filial son?"

The words are not so nice, and the words are so desperate, but this is the truth, the truth for so many years!

"I am ashamed of saying this. This should be what I should have thought of first. Sure enough, I have always felt that life is boring before. Listening to you talk about the lives of these ordinary farmers, why don't I eat it?" Minced meat!" Empress Gao sighed.

"Then how can I blame you? It's just that the courtiers are more familiar with them, so, ma'am, these noodle shops, you can take the trouble to support our daughters-in-law of the Great Xia Dynasty!"

How can the queen refuse such a plea, and discuss with Cuihua in detail, where to build workshops, and give these working places to women who meet those conditions.

With things to do, Empress Gao started to get busy again. She didn't have much enthusiasm for the emperor at first, and now she didn't even have time to accompany her for meals, which made the new emperor doubt herself for a while. The empress seemed a little sullen. up?

On Shield Fish Island, Gao Huaiyu's [-] sailors are splashing in the sea. Most of the recruits he recruited this time are boys from the fishing village.

"Report, General, there is news from Monkey Island that there are more than a dozen sea ships approaching in the distance, which look like Japanese ships!"

"Just take this shield fish island, why hasn't anyone come to ask me for a long time, hehe, Erwazi, your general, I have a chance to meet these bastards!"

"Pass down the order, the whole island is on alert, pay attention to concealment, send these bastards to me ashore, and let the brothers prepare the guys. If the first battle is not good, I want you to look good!"

General Gao, who was originally a bit refined, has now developed into a rough guy. He is really high and let the birds fly. On this island, no one restrains him, and he has to let himself go.

The person who came this time was Kinoshita Tengjiro, 25 years old, who was also a second-generation official in Eastern Japan and a son of a military family.

They always come to Shieldfish Island to patrol several times a year, and they also collect some filial piety by the way. Everyone still has business dealings. Those black slaves are trafficked by them. The gang of pirates on Shieldfish Island are rich and willing to spend money. .

Those dry goods are also prepared for them. The Japanese love seafood the most, especially dried shield fish. The quality of this island is the best. They have to bring a lot back every year and sell them to other nobles at a high price.

Because General Gao killed the pirates cleanly enough, Tojiro Kinoshita hadn't noticed that their back garden had changed, but he didn't respond when he was playing the semaphore.

"General, there is no response from the island. These pirates need to be taught a lesson!" The subordinates were indignant. Are these pirates going to heaven?
"Well, it's possible that they went to work on the west bank, and not long ago they bought firecrackers from a family of theirs. It seems that the fishermen in Daxia will suffer!" Kinoshita Tengjiro forgave the gang of pirates generously, I am happy to see the Daxia people being robbed.

"General, you are so merciful, these pirates are all Daxia people!" The subordinates were puzzled that their general let them go so easily.

"Hey, whether it's from Daxia or from Dongying, those who can cooperate are all friends!" He was also thinking that they had sold a lot of black slaves recently, but he didn't know if Shieldfish Island still had enough to eat. Gotta go.

Kinoshita Toujiro had been to Shieldfish Island a few times, but he didn't pay attention to this group of pirates. Their force value could crush this group of mice.

The emperor of Great Xia is not a smart person, and their territory is too big, and they look down on the islands, which is why these pirates have been multiplying on this island for several generations.

Caught off guard, in such broad daylight, as soon as their boat docked, there was a massacre.Of course, Tojiro Kinoshita is not a vegetarian, he is known as the number one warrior in Japan.

He brought more than 3000 Jingwei with him on this cruise, and all of them were people who had seen blood. Soon the Japanese took control of the situation, and the Daxia Navy was killed in cold sweat.

Gao Huaijin also left the scene. He was going to meet the guy who was very good at using knives. The bosses on both sides just spotted each other in the crowd at a glance, and approached each other excitedly.

After dozens of rounds, neither of them got any benefits. Tojiro Kinoshita's right leg was pulled by a knife, and Gao Huaijin's left arm began to bleed. Both of them began to face up to the strength of their opponents.

In addition to the newly added [-] sailors, the old people have also grown up on the battlefield in the past few years, and they have produced talents in actual combat. This can be understood by looking at the battle situation that has gradually returned from the battlefield.

The two sides fought for an hour, and each injured more than 2000 soldiers before giving up. Kinoshita Tojiro was seriously injured, and was carried back to the ship by his dead soldiers, leaving three ships behind, and the largest ship escaped.

Gao Huaijin was also badly injured, the wound on her left arm was boneless, the wound was turned over to both sides, and she was also slashed on the back, bleeding profusely, her face was as pale as a ghost, the foolish soldier would cry to death up.

Several people hurriedly carried his general to find the imperial physician, and an imperial physician was ordered to come to this island. Empress Gao specially sought benefits for her younger brother, so she was worried about the island so far away.

Shangguan imperial physician is not too old, he is 45 years old, and he is famous for traumatic nationals. Because of the smallpox before the little emperor, the imperial hospital suffered heavy losses, and several old imperial physicians and their families were punished.

Shangguan's family also had several generations of imperial physicians, and felt that the water in the palace was very muddy, so they had the intention of retreating. This time when Empress Gao sent someone to inquire, they took advantage of the situation and wanted to keep the son of their family with the best medical skills.

The Empress Dowager of Shangsheng is still alive, who knows, she will go crazy again one day, I can't afford to provoke her, the Tai Hospital is dead now.Still waiting to see the new emperor, as many as half of them retired and returned home.

The Shangguan imperial physician was very calm. The wound looked scary, but it was actually not that scary, but he lost a lot of blood and needed to replenish blood.

Gao Huaiyu, whose wound was treated, bared his teeth: After finally getting together 1 people, why do you have to make up for me from time to time?He and the Japanese are endless!

The post on the cement official road in Daxia is fast, and the news delivery is more than twice as fast as before.

In a few days, Xia Hongdi received a military report from his brother-in-law: The Japanese attacked the island and killed 860 people from our Great Xia Navy. Our army counterattacked, leaving 520 people behind.

Xia Hongdi informed the matter at the Great Court Conference, and everyone reacted differently. Some were indignant and wanted to fight against Dongpu, some accused Gao Huaiyu of improper command and lost more than 2000 soldiers, and some were worried that Dongpu would come to declare war. country!

The new emperor ignored these noisy ministers, Qiankun made his own decision, and directly added [-] troops to Dunyu Island, and allocated ten sea ships to General Gao.

He also enjoyed the sweetness. In less than a year, the gold mine has returned more than 5 taels of gold to him, and the salt field has also exchanged more than 300 million taels of silver. This mere [-] navies are not enough!

The brother-in-law also hinted that he wanted to send people to check around the shield fish island, just in case, a few more gold mines were unearthed, and these few more would be enough to feed the entire Daxia army.

The most important thing is: if he can't defeat a small country, what use is his throne?The sea, the island, the future is great!
