Chapter 77: Salted Fish

Zheng Zhihu's arrival made Yang Bo extremely excited, holding people's arms, holding people's hands, and refusing to let go for a long time, and then he was excited, and simply came to a warm hug.

Yang Bo's enthusiasm made Zheng Zhihu very unaccustomed, and several people next to him were dumbfounded, but Shen Yanqing somehow watched from a distance, but he didn't come.

"Brother Zheng, although we met for the first time today, the younger brother has been friends with Brother Zheng for a long time in his heart, and it is rare for Brother Zheng to come to the door, and our brothers will be closer and closer in the future, hahaha."

Yang Bo told the truth, he was bent on buying grain from Annan, the Zheng family was the overlord of the sea, and it was a hurdle that could not be overcome, and Yang Bo inquired about the Zheng family.

"Second brother, it's the second brother, I'm the second in the family, and my eldest brother Zheng Zhilong is the eldest brother, hehe." Zheng Zhihu was so embarrassed, he really couldn't stand Yang Bo's hug.

This year is not prosperous, he Zheng Zhihu is a straight man and does not bend, and he must be too tired to be tired in his heart.

"Second brother?" Yang Bo was stunned, and soon said: "The second brother is the second brother." ”

Xu Wenjue looked at Yang Bo and Zheng Zhihu hugging warmly, his eyes were hot, and he ran over, it was also a bear hug, and the three men immediately hugged each other.

Yang Bo was unhappy, his mind was thinking about Xu Wenjue, who was fat, and Qin Shao, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes... Yang Bo suddenly had all his internal organs, turning over the river and the sea.

Belch...

"Wenjue, what are you doing here?" Yang Bo immediately pulled out and looked at the inexplicable Xu Wenjue with a look of disgust.

"Hey, I'm talking about you." Xu Wenjue, pointing at Yang Bo and Zheng Zhihu with his fingers, his self-esteem was seriously hurt, which means that you all hug it, why can't I?

"You're too fat." Yang Bo said angrily.

Xu Wenjue wilted, looked at Yang Bo aggrievedly, and said resentfully: "Actually, I don't want to be fat, but I'm like this, drinking cold water grows meat, what can I do?" ”

Ten fat people, nine will say the same, I drink cold water to grow meat.

"Drinking cold water can grow fat, who is it to lie?" Yang Bo was very disdainful, and said: "You go to climb the mountain, climbing the mountain is the best way to lose fat." ”

Han Zanzhou watched from the side, he was much older, watching a few young people frolicking, he also thought it was very interesting, and he didn't make a sound until Yang Bo talked about climbing the mountain, and he opened his mouth.

"This place is full of treasures, outstanding people, there are mountains, rivers and seas, it is a good place to play, today's weather is not bad, why don't we go to climb the mountain?"

At this time, Shen Yanqing had already come over to say hello to Zheng Zhihu briefly, and heard that Han Zanzhou proposed to climb the mountain, but he shook his head and said: "The boat is full, and we will leave for Shenjiabao tomorrow, so we can't delay, fortunately, we will come again, next time." ”

"Coincidentally." Zheng Zhihu said suddenly, "I have three boats, and the hardwood and spices on the boats will be empty when they are unloaded, and I will also go to Shenjiabao to help you transport grain." ”

Under careful questioning, it turned out that Zheng Zhihu came to Ningbo this time to transport mahogany and spices, and was entrusted by his eldest brother to go to Shenjiabao by the way to find Yang Bo to discuss matters.

What's the matter? He didn't elaborate, probably because he felt that it was inconvenient for many people to elaborate at this time.

The Zheng family appeared in Ningbo, Yang Bo was not surprised at all, he inquired that Zheng Zhihu's eldest brother, that is, Zheng Zhilong, even mentioned the word in Huaguo Mountain in Haizhou, but Yang Bo was lacking in skills, and he didn't have time to go over to inspect it, and the inscription has been preserved to future generations, and it is still clearly visible, but it is already a provincial protected cultural relic.

The Shen family's fleet plans to make two trips, and with Zheng Zhihu's three boats to help transport grain, the problem can be solved at one time, and there is no need to come again, wouldn't it be great?

Sure enough, Shen Yanqing was overjoyed and said, "So, thank you Brother Zheng." ”

"Yan Qing, you're welcome, I'm also on the way, it's just a gesture." Zheng Zhihu replied, looking a little uncomfortable.

In this way, Shen Yanqing and Zheng Zhihu will arrange it separately.

Yang Bo looked at the back of the two leaving, but frowned, when he heard Zheng Zhihu call Shen Yanqing by Yan Qing, he felt strange, and looked at the two of them talking, his expression was quite uncomfortable, he felt that the two seemed to know each other before, and his heart was suspicious.

Yang Bo secretly observed, but did not say anything.

Today's weather is fine, cool breezy and cloudy.

When Shen Yanqing and Zheng Zhihu arranged to return, the sun was three poles, it was still early, it was a good day to travel, and everyone walked together, and they headed for Zhaobao Mountain.

Zhaobao Mountain is located in the north bank of the estuary of Yongjiang River, and the Jinji Mountain on the south bank is in the horn of the trend, the mountain is steep, known as the Yumen Pass in eastern Zhejiang, it is a military fortress.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court set up Dinghaiwei in this place, and the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang led the Qi family army to garrison here.

There is Weiyuan City built on the mountain, there is a Yuantong Treasure Hall in the city, it is the Jiajing period, by the general system Hu Zongxian moved from Putuo Mountain, needless to say, this is also the product of the Ming Dynasty forbidden sea policy.

The people climbed to the top of the hill and looked into the distance.

On both sides of the Yongjiang River, the mountain is extraordinary, the dangerous peaks stand upright, the clouds and mist are swirling, like a sharp sword, standing between the sea of clouds, it is very majestic, it makes people breathtaking.

Yongjiang River is at the foot, Haohao soup, on the river surface, the sails are dotted, shuttling back and forth, very noisy.

To the east, a vast ocean, blue waves, smoke and waves, make people have endless reverie.

To the west, the mountains are continuous, and Jiulong Lake is like a jade belt, shining dazzling under the sun.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and they are natural, as Han Zanzhou said, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and the treasures of the earth are materialized.

Everyone's hearts are moved, and they are all impressed.

"Outstanding people, earth spirits, outstanding people, no wonder there are many talents here, the ancients did not deceive me."

"The great river goes east, the waves are over, and the eternal romantic characters."

"The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night."

"There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked sideways and looked at Yang Bo, Yang Bo's two sentences, they had never heard of them.

Everyone wondered, they didn't see Yang Bo playing with poetry and songs, but people came with their mouths open, tasted carefully, only two sentences, and felt that the pattern was very big, the momentum was extraordinary, and it was quite evocative.

Shen Yanqing turned her head to look over, not for a moment, her eyes were all white, and her eyebrows revealed a rare and delicate appearance, she was standing close to Yang Bo, but she couldn't help but move closer to her body, and the heroic Shen Yanqing actually became a bird.

Zheng Zhihu's tiger eyes swept over, then he retracted his gaze and looked at the sea in the distance, silent.

I knew that today, in my previous life, I should have memorized more Tang and Song poems, and I would not have to take the poems of great men again and again.

Yang Bo was annoyed in his heart, his old face turned red, he touched his nose, laughed dryly, and was about to say something to cover up, but he heard Xu Wenjue say: "Yang Bo, do you say that there is a border in this sea?" It is said that there are immortal mountains overseas, where is the immortal mountain? Are there really immortals on the mountain? ”

"The sea really has no edges, and if someone can go all the way in a boat, they may need to turn north and south in between, but keep going and eventually return to where you started." Yang Bo said casually.

"Yang Bo, you are saying that this is the circle of the earth, do you also believe this?" Xu Wenjue said curiously.

At this time, Di Yuan said that Western missionaries had been introduced into China, and there were many missionaries in Nanjing, and Xu Wenjue naturally heard it.

"Yang Bo, you also teach Yiming this in class?"

"If the earth were round, how could the sea not be spilled out?"

“....”

Everyone asked like this, Yang Bo had no choice but to popularize science, and I don't know how much people understood.

Everyone walked forward, and in front of them was the Yuantong Treasure Hall.

The Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in the Yuantong Treasure Hall, in the middle of the treasure hall, is a huge statue of Guanyin, there are 32 small statues of Guanyin around it, the stars arch the moon in general, surrounding the statue of Guanyin in the middle.

There is a lot of people here, most of them are big girls who come to ask for marriage, or little daughters-in-law who ask for children, Shen Yanqing pulled Yang Bo and motioned him to follow her in to worship.

"This is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, you haven't passed the door yet, so anxious to have a child?" Yang Bo muttered in a low voice.

Shen Yanqing was furious, raised her hand and jumped with a brain, "If you want to die, who said that Guanyin only sends children, let's go in and worship, just worship the two lines of poetry you just had." ”

“....”

Xu Wenjue and Han Zanzhou have both seen the market, Nanjing and Beijing ancient temples are not too much, not to mention that the place is dedicated to the Guanyin Bodhisattva, Zheng Zhihu is silent all the way, not very interested, a few people walked around at random, they all felt that it was not very interesting.

"We're waiting for you at the vegetarian restaurant opposite, hurry up." Xu Wenjue put down a sentence, and with the others, turned around and left.

Shen Yanqing found two futons, knelt down first, and glared at Yang Bo, "Kneel, stupid." Yang Bo had no choice but to kneel.

At this time, only he and Shen Yanqing were left, and Yang Bo finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Qing'er, what's the matter with you and Zheng Zhihu?" ”

Shen Yanqing was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, and said playfully, "Are you jealous?" ”

"Hmph.." Yang Bo had a good face, and said angrily: "You seem to have known each other for a long time, sneaky, why do you want to hide it from me?" ”

"Who hid it from you? You didn't ask. Shen Yanqing chuckled, and suddenly stopped, probably thinking that this was a holy place for Buddhism, so she had to be serious.

"Then I'll ask now, and you can tell me honestly."

"Tell me your size." Shen Yanqing's mouth was upturned, looking at Yang Bo's puffing appearance, she felt very interesting, and whispered: "A few years ago, my father bought a boat with the Zheng family, and Zheng Zhihu came to Shenjiabao. ”

"And then?"

"And then? Then there is no more, Zheng Zhihu is stupid and coarse, it is clearly not my dish, my father also knows, did he mention it to me. ”

"And what does your dish look like?"

"Salted fish." Shen Yanqing bowed to Guanyin Bodhisattva without looking back.

Shen Yanqing worshipped, and there were words in her mouth: "Classmate Cha is a young man, in his prime, and he is a scholar, and he scolds Fang Xuan." There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists. ”

“....”

Shen Yanqing worshipped like this, after worshipping the big god statue, and then worshipping the small god statue, with a pious appearance, Yang Bo also worshipped, and finally finished worshipping, Yang Bo quickly got up, his back hurt.

People come, or ask for a son, or ask for marriage, Shen Yanqing is good, worship these few poems, what kind of brain does this person have.

If there is no dream in life, what is the difference between it and salted fish?

This truth, even Shen Yanqing, who is in Daming, understands?

God, earth, but those words are really not what I said, Yang Bo wants to cry without tears.

The two of them finally came out of the Yuantong Treasure Palace, and opposite was the Zhaobao Vegetarian Restaurant, Xu Wenjue and the other three drank tea for several rounds, and they were already in a hurry.

"I said you two, you haven't passed this door yet, and you're in a hurry to have children?" Xu Wenjue shouted loudly.

Yang Bo glanced at Shen Yanqing, what am I talking about?

Shen Yanqing was very calm, and took a sip, "Phew." "Sit down and drink tea, between the eyebrows, full of expressions of contempt for all beings, like a queen's style, it seems that worship Guanyin, the effect is different.

Zhaobao vegetarian restaurant is diagonally opposite the Yuantong Treasure Palace, the pilgrims in the past worshiped the Bodhisattva, drink tea here, use some snacks, eat some vegetarian dishes or something, rest their feet, this is the only one here, there is no semicolon, the business is good.

It is said to be a vegetarian restaurant, but the signature dishes are merit ham, jade balls, which look like meat dishes, but in fact, they are all made of seasonal vegetables and vegetables, and the workmanship is quite exquisite, and the form is fake and real, and it is refreshing to eat.

Yang Bo ate it, and thought in his heart, this Zheng Zhihu actually intended to marry Shen Yanqing, but it seems that Shen Yanqing didn't like him at all, looking at Zheng Zhihu's style today, it seems that he has a mustard in his heart, how should this be?

The grain channel must be opened.

North of the Ming Dynasty is North Korea, east is Japan, according to the production efficiency of this generation of grain, these two places are not rich in grain, and the south of Cochin is rich in rice, rice production is extremely high, according to historical records, there should be a surplus of grain there.

I can't watch Daming go to the end of the road step by step, not to mention that I sell alcohol as fuel, burning alcohol is actually burning food, and after a long time, there will be problems.

The demise of the Ming Dynasty, there are many reasons, there are political system, financial, geographical, and so on, historians have long discussed, aside from various deep-seated reasons, regardless of those things, I can't solve them, the most direct, or in other words, the most superficial reason is only one, that is, the lack of food.

The Chinese nation is gentle and kind, the most able to bear hardships and stand hard work, in terms of its ability to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens in adversity, in the world called the second, no one dares to call the first, but as long as they are well fed and warmly dressed, there will be no rebellion.

And the brilliant Ming Dynasty, the huge empire, if there are no internal problems, the surrounding crumbs are small, what can I do?

At this time, industry and commerce were flourishing in the Jiangnan area, which is not a bad thing from a historical point of view. However, the unbalanced trade of one-way export commodities of the Ming Dynasty is destined to be unsustainable.

Importing grain is the solution.

The Zheng family is already the overlord of the sea, just like a monster, across the sea, it is a hurdle, and it must be befriended with the Zheng family.

Yang Bo was thinking so crankily in his heart, but when he heard his name mentioned on the next table, Yang Bo was shocked and listened attentively.

"Do you know Yang Bo? It's the one who is called the god of fire, and he is here, and he is nearby. ”

"The day before yesterday in Dinghai Port, I went to see it, the scene was so lively, it was a sea of people, but it's a pity, I saw a figure, I didn't see it."

"That's a fairy man, three heads and six arms, at this moment, in this back mountain, holding a Dharma meeting."

"Really?"

"No, I can lie to you."

“.....”

Xu Wenjue and the others looked at Yang Bo with a surprised expression, Yang Bo sat in front of them, but some people said that Yang Bo was holding a Dharma meeting in the back mountain at this moment, which was really a hell of a life.

Everyone looked at each other.

Yang Bo looked at Xu Wenjue, his eyes were quite playful.

Xu Wenjue spread his hands, but he looked very innocent.
