Chapter 319 0316 [Navy Instructor]

Zhao Fujin burped and asked doubtfully: "Husband, Hai Cuo is so delicious, why aren't they sold inland?"

Today's meal really conquered her stomach.

It's not that she can't eat delicious food in the palace, but the deliciousness of seafood is completely different from the freshness of chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep on land.

For example, take the clam tofu soup. The only ingredients are clams and tofu, a small spoonful of salt, and a little chopped green onion.

Such a simple cooking method makes the soup extremely sweet and delicious.

As the most favored emperor, Zhao Fujin was naturally lucky enough to taste seafood, but they were all sea fish.

The fish caught from the sea were killed and bled on the spot, then sealed in ice and rushed [-] miles to Tokyo.

The taste of such seafood has been greatly reduced.

Moreover, improper cooking method is also a very important reason.

After all, stir-frying has only been invented for a short period of time, and many cooks still don't know how to do it.

Han Zhen replied: "There are no more than two reasons. One is the cooking method, and the other is transportation."

Marine fish are better, but seafood such as sea cucumbers and abalone are something that the rich don’t know how to eat and the poor don’t know how to cook.

Because of its strange appearance, rich people disdain to eat it.

It doesn't matter to the poor people along the coast, but they can't do it right.

This is similar to pork. If Su Dongpo hadn't been a good talker and forcefully promoted pork, I'm afraid fewer rich people would eat pork now.

Zhao Fujin said with some regret in his tone: "If you want to eat Haicuo in the future, you must come to the beach."

Han Zhen chuckled and said: "If you wait for the first half of the year, when the highway is repaired, seafood will be sold all over Shandong. In the future, people along the coast will also have another way to survive."

In fact, the cement plant has been built a long time ago and has been put into use. There are even many bags of cement stored in the warehouse.

As long as the summer harvest is over and there is a slack season, workers can be recruited to build high-speed cement roads.

As for whether the wealthy businessmen and common people will accept these seafood, it is easy to handle. Let Jinzouyuan cooperate and publicize that eating seafood can improve virility and beauty, so that they will rush to buy it.

No man can resist the temptation of aphrodisiac, just like no woman can resist beauty.

"Great!"

Zhao Fujin said happily: "I can send some to my sister to try."

"Which sister?"

Han Zhen asked curiously.

Zhao Fujin replied: "Of course it's Sister Fujin. When I was in the palace, I was the closest to Sister Fujin and treated me very well."

The two sisters, Zhao Fujin and Zhao Fujin, were both children of Empress Mingda, so their relationship was naturally close.

In fact, Zhao Fujin also had a sister, Emperor Anshu, who died in the third year of Daguan at the age of five.

Speaking of Zhao Fujin, Han Zhen became interested and asked: "I heard that Emperor Maode was the most beautiful emperor in the Song Dynasty. How does it compare with Fujin?"

Zhao Fujin tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said seriously: "Sister is more beautiful."

Han Zhen smiled and said: "I have never seen a woman more beautiful than Fu Jin. I'll have a chance to meet her."

"Hmm~"

Being praised by her husband in public, a flash of shame flashed in Zhao Fujin's eyes, and he recalled: "Okay, I will let my husband meet me then. When I was a child, Sister Fujin treated me very well. At that time, my sister always had a smile on her face. , later got married, and although he often returned to the palace to visit me, he never smiled."

Speaking of this, Han Zhen remembered something and asked with confusion on his face: "Su Yi, why haven't your three family members arrived yet?"

In March, he asked Song Huizong to send Jiang Suyi's parents and family members.

It's been three months, why is there no movement at all?

Hearing this, Jiang Suyi smiled bitterly: "My parents have lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. They only said that Shandong is bitterly cold. I'm afraid that I won't get used to living there, so I won't come."

Zhao Luzhu whispered: "My father wrote a letter saying that my grandfather is ill in bed and they can't leave. They have to stay at home to take care of my grandfather, and... they won't come either."

He was not used to the bitter cold in Shandong. To put it bluntly, he felt that Han Zhen was a traitor and could be destroyed at any time.

Besides, a daughter who is married off is a waste of water.

You may not be able to enjoy any wealth after coming here.

Their families are well off and have considerable wealth in Jiangnan, so it is normal for them not to come.

Han Zhen didn't care, but said: "It's okay to stay in Jiangnan. I'm afraid you won't be able to adapt to the sudden change of environment. Qingyi, what's the situation like with your parents?"

It was a bit strange that Fu Qingyi's parents didn't come.

Fu Qingyi said matter-of-factly: "The rice has just been planted, but they are reluctant to part with it. They want to wait until the summer harvest before coming back."

It's outrageous, but it makes sense.

"Alright."

Han Zhen smiled and nodded.

Seeing that Han Zhen didn't mean to blame, Jiang Suyi and Zhao Luzhu couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, they were also very aggrieved.

Song Huizong threatened their parents' lives. The two of them risked their lives to confess to their husband and saved their parents' lives. But now they disliked them, making them no longer human beings.

Fortunately, my husband is reasonable.

Thinking of this, Jiang Suyi quietly took a look at her husband, feeling happy in her heart.

My husband is good at everything except himself.

Although people are already fourteen years old, they always say that they are still young.

……

The next day.

After breakfast, several little girls went to the beach to play again.

Last night they heard what Han Zhen said about chasing the sea and picking up seafood, which made their hearts itch.

So early in the morning, I carried a bamboo basket and a small bucket, saying I was going to catch the sea. Han Zhen took Lao Jiu and other personal guards with him and rode their horses to the navy's training ground.

Arriving at a remote dock, I saw a warship converted from a passenger ship, parked quietly on the sea.

Hundreds of sailors, under the command of an instructor, are practicing on the deck.

These sailors were all shirtless and their skin was tanned.

Especially the instructor, whose dark body shone in the sun, and whose lower body was extremely stable, as if there were roots growing under his feet, firmly rooted into the deck, and could not move an inch no matter how the warship swayed.

You can tell at a glance that he has been practicing at sea all year round.

Han Zhen did not get down immediately, but sat on the horse and quietly observed the training method.

After a while, Lao Jiu muttered: "Although I don't know how to fight in the water, this training method is less formal and more gangster. I'm afraid this person was a water thief before."

Han Zhen said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether he is a water thief or not, as long as he has real ability."

After saying that, he clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse under him immediately ran towards the dock.

The sound of horse hooves disturbed the sailors who were practicing. The instructor in charge of the drill looked at the sound and saw a heroic and domineering man, sitting upright on the horse, looking at him quietly, his sharp eyes like two sharp swords, piercing his heart. , making his breathing stagnant.

Yesterday, he received news that the county magistrate was here, so he immediately recognized the person in front of him.

I saw the coach taking a running start and leaping high into the air.

While in the air, he grabbed the hemp rope hanging from the mast and used the strength of his run-up to swing towards the dock.

About three or five steps away from the pier, he suddenly let go of his hand, did a backflip, and landed firmly on the pier.

"Kuang Zixin has met the county magistrate!"

Kuang Zixin bowed and clasped his fists, greeting loudly.

Han Zhen looked at him condescendingly. He was only twenty years old and could not be considered tall. Although his skin was dark, his eyebrows were handsome. He seemed to have been at sea for a long time. His feet were a bit slender and his shoulders were broader than ordinary people. It is a result of long-term swimming training.

Han Zhen said in a casual tone: "You are very skilled. Who did you hang out with before?"

"..."

Kuang Zixin hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully: "The younger one was previously the fifth boss under Haihuhu."

Han Zhen asked: "Since you are a pirate, how come you landed ashore again?"

Kuang Zixin smiled bitterly: "I dare not hide it from the county magistrate. Life at sea is not easy. I have to eat one meal and not another. Now that merchant ships have learned a lot, they travel in groups, and the guards are well-armed. It is not easy to catch one." A fat sheep, but due to the uneven distribution of the spoils, internal fighting broke out. The sea tiger died, and the brothers ran away and scattered. I thought that I couldn't stay at sea anymore, and my mother was old, so I planned to go back to the shore to find a job as a recruiter. Work errands to make ends meet, marry a wife and have children, and provide for your mother until she retires."

"It just so happens that Qizhi County is recruiting naval generals, so I'll give it a try."

The so-called beck and call refers to the leader of the sailors.

He is mainly responsible for managing sailors. When encountering pirates, he also needs to organize sailors to fight against them and protect merchant ships.

Hearing this, Han Zhen chuckled and said, "It's quite sincere. If you dared to tell a lie just now, your head would be in a different place now."

Kuang Zixin's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Han Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Why, don't you believe it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed under the morning sun.

Kuang Zixin's reaction was not unpleasant. His legs seemed to be equipped with springs and he jumped back several meters with great strength.

Just as he stood still, he saw a strand of hair slowly falling from the air.

Kuang Zixin touched his forehead and looked at Lao Jiu with horror in his eyes.

What a quick knife!

To be selected by Han Zhen as a personal guard captain, how could he not have two brushes?

Although Lao Jiu's boxing and kicking skills were not ranked high among Nie Dong's group of brothers, his sharp knife skills made him superb.

Above the battle formation, there are not so many bells and whistles.

When wielding a knife, it is important to be quick, accurate and ruthless. If you are slow, you will die, if you are quick, you will live. It is as simple as that.

After joining the army for more than ten years, he fought with the Xixia people no less than a hundred times. The fact that Lao Jiu was able to survive unharmed shows his strength.

Lao Jiu slowly put the steel sword into its sheath, looking a little surprised: "You are quite agile in your body skills."

He originally wanted to chop off the opponent's hair bun to show off his power, but he never thought that the opponent would react very quickly and only cut off a strand of hair.

Gollum!

Kuang Zixin swallowed his saliva and said quickly: "The county magistrate has something to ask, so he is humble and dare not hide it."

Han Zhen nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Besides my mother, are there any brothers or sisters in the family?"

Kuang Zixin replied: "I have a younger sister who is not yet married."

Han Zhen had enough time to calm down and said: "Mom, I will receive support from Yidu, and then I will help your sister find a good marriage."

"This... many thanks to the county magistrate, I can't thank you enough."

How could Kuang Zixin not know Han Zhen's intentions, which were both a favor and a hostage?

Han Zhen slowly suppressed his smile and said seriously: "I don't care if you were a thief or a soldier before, but now that you are under my command, you must abide by my rules. Lao Jiu, tell him my rules."

Lao Jiu shouted: "Obey, obey, still fucking obey!"

"Humble and understand!"

Kuang Zixin responded solemnly.

The words have been asked and the power has been given. It’s time to inspect the goods.

Han Zhen got off his horse and ordered: "Get on the boat and see what you are capable of."

"Yes!"

Kuang Zixin quickly ordered the soldiers on the ship to put a plank on the dock.

After confirming that the board was firm, he bowed and said, "Please, County Magistrate!"
