The gentry were very enthusiastic, rich and powerful.

For them, the Japanese pirates will not be eliminated in a day, and their good days will come to an end.

In the past, they mainly lived on the land to grow crops. Occasionally, they also operated some oil, wine and mulberry sales.

In fact, the reason why they opened their eyes to the Japanese pirates was because the silk they produced was often acquired by some inexplicable people.

According to the information circulated secretly by many people, these people are most likely to be private businessmen.

When the sea ban was strict, it was actually harmful to the gentry.

After all, in this vast ocean, you can't get a little benefit.

But when smuggling began to appear, it was more or less beneficial to many gentry, because people found that the demand for silk and porcelain on the market had increased.

After all, the smugglers need to bring a lot of silk and porcelain to the sea.

Once these two things are in demand, the demand for silk and clay naturally increases for the sake of institutional silk and porcelain.

Silk needs to be planted with mulberry. Whoever has more land has more mulberry trees and has silk in his hand.

Clay was dug from the mountain, but who owns the mountain?

So in essence, the so-called smuggling is by no means simply a matter of a few daring smugglers.

This is a hidden chain of interests.

Overseas, a group of Japanese warriors who could not survive and some desperate people were recruited. These people were the basis of smuggling and the guarantee of the force of smuggling ships.

As smuggling activities become more rampant, more and more desperate people and wandering warriors come here, entrenched in the southeast islands, forming a bond between each other, and occasionally, conflicts break out due to uneven distribution of stolen goods. Of course, there are many more Japanese pirates who will sack Daming's coast.

Can it be on land? Because of these smuggling merchants, many landlords and gentry benefited more or less.

As long as some people are willing to buy their own silk and clay, who cares what the other party is, pirates and private business? They did not hinder themselves after all, did they?

But now it ’s different. For the gentry in Ningbo, selling a little more silk and clay can earn a few dollars. There are Jinshan and Yinshan in the sea. Every few days, the ships in the water village will take this Jinshan and Yinshan. Moved in, this silver is just like the one I picked up.

Let ’s talk about the candle made of whale oil. It is now popular in the whole of Jiangnan. It is scrambling everywhere. The price is twice as high as that of ordinary candles. However, the same candle can burn more times than ordinary candles, and it is brighter. Or, in short supply, after dealing with the whale, I do n’t know how many candles to make when I change hands. Does n’t the money make my own money? Is there a conscience?

Everyone was indignant, and the news spread from the prefectural government office, and the people's feelings were boiling.

Not only gentry, but many businessmen are also anxious. Although they have no power and no power, they have invested money and can only be divided into small profits, but such a good deal, even small ones, are impressive.

There are still many people, many people, who had been suffering from the farming, but because of the processing of whales, wax, clothing, as well as the production of canvas and iron anchors, this is a prosperous industry. Follow the lords to work, although the life is still hard, but obviously the days are much better, and I can eat a full stomach every month, and actually pay a little wages.

Well now, actually because of the **** pirates, no longer go to sea.

What to eat without going out to sea?

Everyone was in trouble, and the scholars began to express their feelings, demanding that the prefects of the prefectural government be warned to keep the party safe.

The gentry asked for money and assistance to help the Japanese.

Many strong men organized together, carrying sticks in groups of three or five, and instructed to patrol the coast.

Popular stomping, went home to study books for Beijing's children, pirates harmed people, my son was in the middle of the DPRK, he had to be compassionate to the nostalgia, and the people in his hometown were suffering.

In the middle of the night, in the Houya shed, Wen Yan's life took the charcoal pot. In the charcoal pot, the anthracite coal transported from Jingli was burnt. After cleaning up the big yellow croaker, the internal organs were removed, and after a layer of butter was applied to the inside and outside, it was placed on an iron shelf.

He slowly moved the iron frame, and the yellow croaker gave out an inexplicable strange fragrance. Wen Yansheng gently sprinkled salt on the roasted half-cooked fish and his favorite chives.

However, this chive is not easy to sprinkle, it must be chopped very fine, such as powder, lightly sprinkle, so that it is stained with oil, otherwise, it will easily fall into the charcoal basin.

Seeing the anger of the gentry in the day, Wen Yansheng was very happy, so he warmed up the wine specially, and roasted the fish for wine.

There are thirty-two ways to eat this big yellow croaker.

But still uncomfortable.

This grilled fish is the most luxurious. Such a good fish will shrink by half when it is grilled, but this taste, especially after being sprinkled with pepper and scallion, 啧啧 ......

Of course, Wen Yansheng is an exquisite person. He deliberately raised the iron shelf a bit higher. In this way, he is not afraid of the flames burning the fish.

Anyway, I can't eat hot tofu, and slowly roast it with a simmering fire, which is delicious.

After turning the iron frame a few times, Wen Yansheng took a side of the hot rice wine, took a sip, breathed, then shook his head and began to hum: "Dang Li Dang, Dang Li Dang, Dang Li Dang Miles and miles ... When talking about Shandong hero Wu Erlang, go home and pass by Jingyanggang, Jingyanggang and Jingyanggang ... "

He sang the Shandong Kuaishu, but he used the Henan accent. In many places, it was a little vague.

Anyway, he doesn't do any art, just trying to be happy.

After singing a few words, he took a sip of rice wine, his stomach burned a little, his blood boiled all over, and his body was comfortable.

Then, continue to grill the fish.

He enjoys the process, and of course, looks forward to this result.

But at this time, someone came in a hurry: "Master, then Mrs. Chen, please."

"What?" Wen Yansheng smiled slightly, although in his tone, it was an unbelievable look, but in his eyes, he smiled with a smile: "He said so much in the day, and he came back in the night, could he know his home Are you grilling fish? "

"He said something important."

Wen Yansheng regretted that he first took the oil brush and applied oil to the fish before saying, "Call in."

For a moment, Chen Taigong came trembling slightly.

Wen Yansheng is also serious about grilling fish.

Chen Taigong's face pulled down: "Wenzhi Mansion, the enemy is at present. This is even deeper in the middle of the night. How can Wenzhi Man also grill fish?"

"Hungry." Wen Yansheng answered lightly.

"..."

This reason is indeed very powerful.

"Come, Mr. Chen, please sit down, Mr. Chen, drink?"

"Old," Chen Taigong sighed, "I can't eat anymore, my body is unfavorable."

Wen Yansheng was relieved. It seems that he is old and can't drink wine. This grilled fish can't be eaten arbitrarily. Don't eat something wrong.

"Mr. Chen is here, what is your enlightenment."

Seeing Wen Yansheng's beauty, she took a little bit of patience and sprinkled the chopped green onion to the fish, and wanted to brush teeth, but he still suppressed the anger in his stomach: "The old man came here, thinking of something suddenly, overseas The pirates are rampant, but on the land, there is no guarantee that there are no people who colluded with the pirates, otherwise, what climate can a group of pirates have. "

"Well ..." Wen Yansheng nodded and nodded, "It makes sense." But he was very busy and turned the iron shelf, fearing that the fish would burn.

Chen Taigong patiently said: "The old man is thinking, can we have such thieves in our Ningbo Office? The old man is uncomfortable when he thinks that the Japanese pirates are wreaking havoc in the township. It should be reported to the court and the people of An'an. This is what the gentlemen should have. "

Wen Yansheng raised his thumb toward Chen Taigong: "Mr. Chen Lao is admiring this country's words."

Chen Taigong thought for a while: "The old man has been in Ningbo for a long time, but he feels suspicious that there is a family. In Ningbo, he has been buying silk or finished silk for many years, almost how much, how much, and never talk to people. After receiving the price, the place of these silks and silks is unknown. Of course, the old man did not accuse him of being a Japanese party, it was all from the villagers ... right? "

"Yes, yes, yes ~ www.readwn.com ~ Is there anything suspicious?"

"Another time, his son was married, the older man was older, and he was invited to sit in the seat, but he was invincible, so he was taken to the back room to rest, but guess what?"

"There must be a lot of overseas treasures that I have never seen before.

Chen Taigong patted his thigh: "Wen Zhifu was right, that's how it was. He actually saw a lot of rhino horns and many strange things. The old man looked at him in the past, and he is also a scholar, and he is good for generations. After Zhong Zhongliang, it should be reasonable to not collude with Japanese pirates. Therefore, I did n’t think deeply, but when I think about it later, I feel more and more suspicious. "

"Oh ..." Wen Yansheng saw that the fish was cooked, and took off the grilled fish anxiously, but because he was accidentally next to the red iron brazing, the hot fangs grin, he took the fish out with pain, and said with a painful face: "Chen Lao Mr. Say early, this family member is suspicious. If you check it, you will know that if you are a private businessman, you can still find out something. "

Chen Taigong said with a smile: "Yeah, turning his house upside down, I will understand everything, so-called extraordinary times, doing extraordinary things. Oh, this man's surname is Zhang, we are from Laotang, Yin County. The old man is tired. Oh, he ’s too old to fall asleep easily, so he has to go back to rest. Wenzhifu, civilians and civilians in Ningbo, can be entrusted to Wenzhifu. "

Wen Yansheng counted the place names and the surnames.

Wen Yansheng said: "It is really a feat for Mr. Chen to report private business. In the future ... the government will ask Mr. Chen for credit."

Chen Taigong was a little embarrassed, and he shook his head busy: "Don't dare, can't dare, this is the merits of Wenzhifu, this is the local people, cough ... If it wasn't for the ravages of Japanese pirates, slaughter our people, the old man really can't open At this point, Wen Zhifu is still a good secret agent. "
