  Chapter 1305 One hundred and four Re-run the weaving field

For several days in a row, Su Yao was on the big boat at sea. At first, she thought that the people on the seaside were facing nothing more than pirates and pirates, but when she actually got to the sea, she realized how difficult life is for fishermen and ordinary people. and thrilling.

  When they go to sea, they not only have to face the unpredictable weather, the unknown deep sea waves, but also face the elusive pirates. The biggest wish every day is to see the sun the next day safely.

   This made her feel a little depressed.

  Xiao Heng took the cloak for her and put it on her. Seeing that she was still standing on the deck looking into the distance late at night, he asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at those dots of fishing fire." Su Yao sighed softly, with a bit of melancholy on her face: "Your Highness, I always thought that I was very smart, but then I realized that many things can be done without being smart, and even more It doesn't work if you have power or influence. For example."

Xiao Heng put his arms around her shoulders, followed her gaze and looked into the distance, seeing that she stopped talking, he took her words softly: "For example, pirates, Japanese pirates, for example, common people Your livelihood, like the latest batch of sailors in training, isn't it?"

It is really rare to have a person who understands oneself, Su Yao turned her head and looked at Xiao Heng, leaned into his arms and sighed: "Yeah, sometimes I think, our hard work seems to be too much." Slow, the effect is too slow. These people, one by one, still make me sad."

Xiao Heng stretched out his other hand to stroke her hair as a gesture of comfort, and rubbed his chin on the top of her head: "There is a long way to go, but things in this world have to work hard to have hope. I believe that in time, I will definitely make the people no longer suffer from the Japanese plague, and will be rich and happy!"

  Su Yao's hair was blown by the sea breeze, and her mood was also a little better by the wind, so she nodded with a smile: "Yes, there is hope through hard work, and we will definitely be able to do it."

   Just like the rebellion in Yunnan, it lasted for so many years, and several generations of emperors failed to complete it, but didn't they do the same?

  Everything requires double effort.

  Seeing that she finally cheered up, Xiao Heng looked at her with a smile on his face: "You have been in a bad mood these days, and I know it's because of the mess that the Japanese pirates made before."

After the Ningbo Rebellion, many people in Baishitan were displaced. Those Japanese pirates also plundered many women and left for the sea. Along the way, Su Yao kept seeing women who were rescued or escaped by themselves. And children.

  No matter how difficult it was, they never gave up and always wanted to go back to their hometown.

   It's just that these women are obviously having a hard time, and after they come back, they have to bear a lot of gossip and tribulations.

   Speaking of this, she lowered her eyes: "Speaking of this, I just wanted to discuss it with you. I want to help a group of these women."

  The folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty were like this. Women were taken away by pirates and Japanese pirates. Although they were very lucky to be able to come back, some people still couldn't accommodate these women in their homes.

  These women came back, and their lives were miserable.

  Xiao Heng knew what Su Yao meant without further words, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You mean weaving field?"

  Before in Yunnan, they helped those native girls who could barely survive in this way, so that they could support themselves by themselves.

Su Yao nodded. This matter has been in her mind for several days. She has been thinking about these things recently. Now that it was brought up, she simply finished her thoughts: "Zhejiang is rich and prosperous, but it is different from Yunnan. There have already been many weaving farms, but the ones built by our court are naturally different. The weaving farms we built are still the same as those in Yunnan. We recruit female workers who are willing to learn, give them the skills, and let them They rely on their own skills to earn remuneration, anyway, we provide looms and fabrics, and then pay them wages, so that these girls can afford to eat, and finally have a way to go."

   This was something she had thought about for a long time before.

Xiao Heng also thought the same way, and he very much agreed with Su Yao's idea: "The reason why I thought of bringing you here before was because I thought of this possibility. These girls are actually not of high status. After all, it is too risky to go to sea. Gao, the girls are basically not allowed to go. They usually live a bad life. Now that something happened, their situation is even more difficult. Now you can re-run the weaving field here, and they can support themselves. After earning money, no matter whether they want to go back to live with their family or not, at least they have a choice, which is a great thing."

  People really have to find something to do to be happy, Su Yao's heart was swept away when he heard this, he jumped up and hugged Xiao Heng, and kissed him on the chin.

Xiao Heng was startled, and when he came to his senses, he stretched out his hand to hold Su Yao who was about to run away, pinched her chin with a half-smile and forced her to face him: "Why, Concubine Taisun Do you want to run away if you treat me so frivolously?"

  Su Yao looked at him and unconsciously wanted to laugh, and couldn't help but bury her head in his arms and laugh out loud.

  The two quarreled for a while, before Xiao Heng led Su Yao back to the cabin, and then carefully ordered Jinping to send hot soup from the kitchen.

   Su Rong happened to come up from the cabin on the first floor. Seeing that they were both wearing cloaks, he asked, "Are you guys going outside to get some wind?"

  The sea breeze was very strong in the middle of the night, and he couldn't understand why the two of them had to go outside.

  Xiao Heng looked at him helplessly and shook his head, thinking in his heart that there is a reason why his brother-in-law has been single all this time, look at this stupid mind.

Su Rong didn't know that she was being complained about, so she sat across from Su Yao and said to her, "I've already counted it clearly. In fact, more than 3,000 people were taken away in the Ningbo Rebellion, including more than 2,000 women. , there were more than nine hundred children, and there were two or three hundred people who ran back one after another, and those who escaped could not return to their homes."

   Few parents or parents-in-law will feel that the child is lucky to come back alive.

  Su invites them to feel unreasonable about this, but it is meaningless for you to force them to accept these girls in this kind of thing. Instead, you have dug a bigger hole for these girls.

  So Su Yao didn't feel too angry. Hearing this, he told Su Rong what he thought, and said, "Brother, I want to go to Baishitan Village with you tomorrow."

  Look at the local situation, and then you will know what else needs to be prepared.

  Su Rong has no objection, although he wants to see Qi Tianyou's selected soldiers, but this kind of thing itself can't be rushed, not bad for a few days.

   It was Xiao Heng who had to rush there ahead of time.
