Zhao Yu was escorted back to the shore by the 'heavy soldiers', even if everyone knew that His Highness was extraordinary, it was difficult to go into the water again. Fortunately, there was a seafood feast on the beach to soothe his wounded heart. In my previous life, I could only look at the drooling two-foot-long lobster, the small pot-like sea crab, the chopstick-long prawns, the nautilus that has been listed as an endangered species and cannot be eaten even if you have money, and the turtle meat that has never tasted the taste. In this era, this place is not a problem, and the 'prawns' who were known as thirty yuan in the previous life only had the fate of being abandoned on the beach and dried into shrimp skin.

"Your Highness, taste the taste of oysters again!" Looking at His Highness's joyful eating, Zheng Yong handed over another shellfish that was bigger than a large pot.

"This ...... Is this a clams? Zhao Yu was frightened, he had only seen this thing from the museum in his previous life, and he was a little uncertain about it.

"Yes, that's the clams." Take a closer look to determine the authenticity.

"Oh, it's precious, isn't it?" Zhao Yu knew that the clams were on the same level as the panda in his previous life, let alone eating it, I was afraid that if he touched it, he would go to prison, and its value was equivalent to that of agate and amber, he asked suspiciously.

"Your Highness, this is not worth anything, it is a common thing, I just want Your Highness to taste a rarity, this is still small, and the big one can be used as a bathtub." Zheng Yong pointed and pointed.

"Really!" Only then did Zhao Yu find that the pots containing the dishes were made of clams and husks, which showed that it was really not a rare thing, so he tore off a piece with his hand and chewed it.

"Your Highness, you must be cautious about eating, don't eat too much." As soon as Zhao Yu tasted something, he was taken away by Wang De and refused to let him eat again.

"Get out, let this king eat dried fish every day in the house, fool me with dead fish as fresh fish, and now let this king eat enough!" Zhao Hao saw that the food he had just eaten was taken away, and he couldn't help but scold, and picked up another big lobster, no matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to take it from his hands.

"Hehe, Your Highness loves to eat, and your subordinates just let people send it to the mansion every day!" Seeing that His Royal Highness skillfully unscrewed the big ao, pulled out the shrimp claws, pried open the back shell, and took out the shrimp meat with his hands, a series of actions were very skillful, and he must have eaten it often. Seeing this, Zheng Yong smiled and said, it can be regarded as relieving Wang De.

"That's a good feeling, this seafood is only beautiful when it is fresh, and it is the freshest when it is steamed!" Zhao Hao's mouth was stuffed with shrimp meat, nodded vigorously, and said vaguely after trying to swallow. When he arrived in this era, he knew that the imperial diet was not the best food in the world, and it was all to fool the princes and grandsons who had not eaten the food outside, otherwise there would not be an emperor or queen mother who had eaten some country snacks and praised them loudly, and then it was used by others to play as a signboard. In this era, the means of transportation are backward, and the seafood sent to the capital has become stinky fish and rotten shrimp, so there is very little seafood to eat in the palace.

"Yes, Your Highness, I think so!" Huang Fu nodded vigorously when he heard this.

"When you were in Jiazi that day, didn't you complain all day long about eating dried fish and rice!" Zhao Hao glared at him and said.

"Your Highness, at this time, at that time, where is the dried fish fresh fish delicious!" Huang Fu said with a smile.

"You are not the same as this king, some people don't give them food, and some people can't get out, won't they go and get them to eat themselves?" Zhao Yu was a little strange and asked puzzled.

"Your Highness, the food in the army is customized, and only pork and mutton are allowed to be supplied, but there is no fresh fish, and if you want to eat it, you can only buy it privately." Huang Fu explained.

"It's really dead-eyed, the food money is allocated to the commanders, and the amount of meat is just to ensure the training needs of the soldiers, and it is not limited to what kind of meat, as long as it is guaranteed that the soldiers can eat enough in their stomachs. And there are proteins, amino acids, and vitamins in this fish...... Anyway, it's more beneficial than pork and mutton! Zhao Yu listened to the anxious words, and suddenly found that several people were covered with their heads and brains, obviously not knowing what they were doing, and immediately realized that they had lost their words, and hurriedly stopped talking.

"So the best, Qiongzhou pigs and sheep have almost been robbed by the army, the price of meat has skyrocketed, and I can't buy it, but the fish is much cheaper, and I will contact Yuyazi to buy it tomorrow." Although Huang Fu didn't understand what the hell protein and amino acids were, His Highness said that it was good, and the money saved could buy more things.

"What kind of tooth shop are you looking for, there are fishing boats guarding here, and you can buy it directly, why bother to make another one in the middle of the tooth shop." Zhao Hao said angrily, don't these officials know that the factory price is the cheapest?

"Your Highness, this ...... It's not in order. Huang Fu looked at His Highness, and then at Zheng Yongdao.

"Oh, what rules do you need to buy fresh fish?" Zhao Yu is really strange, could it be that this is like Jiangzhou in the Water Margin, where the underworld leader Zhang Shun controls the market. But on the ground in Qiongzhou, he is the biggest underworld, and if he dares to set rules with himself, he doesn't want to live!

"Your Highness, what Commander Huang said is right, we Tanren can't sell fresh fish casually, we can only sell it to Yaxing." Speaking of this, Zheng Yong said gloomily, and several of the Tan elders who sat with him also sighed.

"What?! There really is such a rule, you tell me in detail, why is it! Zhao Yu frowned and said.

"Your Highness, the rules are not unique to this dynasty, to say the least, it has been hundreds of years, and the elders of the clan can't tell the reason...... Zheng Yong said with a bow.

After listening to Zheng Yong's narration, Zhao Yu realized that the life of the Tan people was not as free and comfortable as he saw and imagined, but full of hardships and shame. In order to avoid war and famine, the ancestors of the Tan people sailed from the Lingnan area into the South China Sea, and then crossed the strait to Hainan Island. However, they were discriminated against by the world, and there was a saying that 'going to sea for three lives, going ashore and bowing their heads, having no place to stand in life, and having no place to bury themselves in death', and was regarded as a pariah by previous dynasties, and could not participate in the imperial examination, could not move to the land, and could not intermarry with people on the shore, etc.

Even if they trade with people, the Tan people are strictly restricted, and the seafood they catch cannot be traded directly in the bazaar, but can only be sold in the tooth shop. The tooth shop took the opportunity to lower the price, so that they gained very little, but in order to exchange daily necessities, they had to endure their exploitation. So much so that they sometimes prefer to throw away the fresh fish they catch rather than sell it to the tooth shop. In order to transport grain, the Tan people were conscripted as soldiers, traveling back and forth between the two sides of the strait, and doing some business subsidies for transporting materials on behalf of others, so that life was better.

"How can this be true? Although Qiongzhou is in a corner, it is also in the royal road, and this kind of thing is not allowed to happen under the rule of this king! "This is simply discrimination, everyone is already bitter, and they have to bully even more bitter people, I really don't know what the reason is, Zhao Yu said angrily with a sense of justice when he heard it.
