Chapter 661: Born to the Sea (2)

There have always been records in the history books of some islands around Dengzhou Prefecture, which had been garrisoned in the Tang Dynasty and used as a place of exile in the Song Dynasty.

In the Yuan period, not only the inspection department was placed on Shamen Island for the sea ships to turn sails, but also an administrative area was set up, which was divided into two societies and 50 households in the Yuan Dynasty as one community, which shows that there are many people on the island.

It was only at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty that the Japanese invaders were frequently disturbed, and Taizu and Chengzu moved the islanders inland, and there were only a small number of coastal defense garrisons.

When they went to the Ying Temple and the Xian Temple, the garrison gradually decreased.

Nowadays, it's basically empty islands.

Hearing that Shen Rui was going to re-immigrate to the island, everyone had different expressions.

The soldiers' response is always quick and direct, Qi Dalang said bluntly: "My lord, although few Japanese people have come to plague Shandong in recent years, the sea is still not very peaceful, and putting the people on the island is not to send food to the bandits!" ”

Qi Xuan felt that his son's words were too blunt, and he was afraid of cutting Shen Rui's face, but the truth was indeed the truth, although he was round, he also said in an affirmative tone: "Don't blame me, my lord, it's really a sea bandit who is cunning, and I have to guard against it." And the meaning of the imperial court ......"

Opening the sea and allowing people to live on the island are completely different things.

There is a ban when you become an ancestor...... Although it was not so strict later, it was enough to be included in the book if he openly resisted the order.

Shen Rui was not angry at Qi Dalang's demolition, if a soldier did not immediately think of protecting his family and defending the country, he would be unqualified.

What's more, his idea of an immigrant is actually not very mature, so he wants to take it out and discuss it with everyone.

Shen Rui cleared his throat and nodded: "Qi Baihu and Qi Baihu are extremely right, this is also what this official is worried about, and I will discuss it here." ”

"This official has read some notes from his predecessors, and remembers that one of them wrote that in the Song Dynasty, he had placed 'swordfish inspection, 300 sailors on Shamen Island, and prepared for the Khitan'."

At that time, the boat that went to sea was like a saury, so it was named "saury inspection".

Shen Rui moved the tea cup on the desk and said: "The people of the Nanjing Navy Division have arrived, and the original, newly built large and small sea ships should be equipped. Qi is the most familiar with maritime affairs, according to you, can you add one more item to this Dengzhou sailor drill and take turns to go to these islands? ”

Qi Xuan sighed slightly and sighed: "My lord doesn't know the situation at sea, but it's easy to say that these islands are close to the left, such as Shamen and Changshan. Big and small bamboo islands, it's a little difficult, not to mention Huangcheng Island. ”

He paused, and said in a more softened tone: "My lord thinks that he has never been to the island, and he doesn't know the size of the place, but in fact, in these few places of Shamen Changshan, it is not a problem to raise two or three thousand homeless people. I heard the ancestors say that there were still military tuns in the early years. ”

looked at Master Han again, and said with a smile: "There is also a rich catch over there." ”

Although the Han family is mainly engaged in the restaurant business, the fish catch also accounts for a large part of the family business, raising more than 20 large and small fishing boats.

The annual fishing tax of the Dengzhou Prefecture depends on the Han family, so although there is a so-called "sea ban", the Yamen also completely allows the Han family's fishing boats to fish in the farther waters.

The Han family is not like a maritime merchant like the Lu family, and they will not go too far without large sea ships, and the longest frayed is these offshore islands.

In fact, many fishermen will secretly go out to sea to this side of the island, which is quite rich in marine fish resources, and every spring and summer will form a fishing ground.

There is also a record in the local chronicle: "Every year, after the small full fish, the fishing boat gathers, and the fish goes to stop in 60 days, the common name is the sea autumn, and the fish is said to be harvested in the sea." ”

In the past few days, the Han family's fishing boat is considered to have gone out to sea and started fishing near the island.

The Han family is the first family in Dengzhou to take refuge in Shen Rui, and they have done a lot of things to ventilate and report the news, and now they are cooperating with the Eight Immortals Carriage and Horse Shop and Shunfeng Dart Shop Inn, and they are completely on the boat of Shen Governor's Mansion, so they are not afraid of exposing the details.

Master Han admitted without hesitation: "Don't worry, as Lord Qi said, there are a lot of fish on those islands, and it is difficult to estimate how many people can be fed, but the small ones dare to agree, if they want to sell the fish, the small ones will be collected at the market price!" ”

His statement immediately won the appreciative smiles of Shen Rui and Qi Xuan.

Master Han also smiled happily.

And Shen Rui gave him an even bigger surprise.

Shen Rui said: "Not only to catch, but also to raise seafood, which can be more long-term." Not only fish farming, but also the official remembered that there was a book on agriculture that said that if the sea is enclosed, the upper layer is raised with algae, the middle layer is raised with shellfish, and the bottom layer is raised with stones and sea cucumbers to raise anchovy. ”

Anchovy is abalone, as early as the Song Dynasty, Denglai's abalone is famous all over the world, Yang Yanling's notes once said that "Dengzhou out (anchovy), its taste is exquisite." ”

Su Dongpo, who has been a five-day Dengzhou Taishou, also has a song "Anchovy Walk" praising Penglai abalone deliciously.

Abalone is not only delicious, its shell can also be used in medicine, but it is very difficult to catch and difficult to catch, it is born on the rocks in the seawater, if you want to catch, you must hold an iron shovel to swim in the water, as the predecessor's notes said, "the shovel touches suddenly, and the fish does not feel it, then it can be obtained; If it is touched repeatedly, the sticky stone, although the star shatters its shell, it is also cemented. ”

It is precisely because of its "rarity" that the price will remain high.

If only you could raise it like a chicken and a duck......

Master Han was overjoyed when he heard this, the reader is really different, and sure enough, there is a golden house in the book!

If there is a magic method in the book, this anchovy raising is almost the same as raising gold!

Therefore, he had no mouth to flatter the scholar Shen Rui Yingming, and asked the details of the agricultural book.

Shen Rui smiled and said that if we talk about it alone in the future, we must try it first to know if the method in the book works.

Qin Er, who has always been the most flattering, is willing to lag behind, and he is also busy and courteous: "The little one has never been to the island, and I don't know what the land is like, so the little one will ask Brother Han's boat to take it to the island to have a look and think about what to plant."

"If there is any interest on the island, it is cheaper than transporting grain from here in the city. If the displaced people go to the island to resettle, the small ones will also call some experts and good hands in cultivating the land to help them. ”

Shen Rui smiled: "It's so good, you have to worry about it." ”

Qin Er also immediately became overjoyed, and repeatedly said that he should share his worries for the government and the adults.

The father and son of the Qi family glanced at each other and put their minds at ease, if it is just an offshore island, going back and forth during the day, as a sailor training, it is still very good, there are people in Tuntian, and it is also conducive to the temporary rest of the army, even if it is a garrison.

I don't want Shen Rui, but he is not satisfied, but he is only developing offshore islands.

"Naturally, we will come from the offshore islands first, and then push north when they are slowly stabilized. The officer didn't know about the military, but he thought that patrolling between several islands was also a kind of exercise, and it was always necessary to make the soldiers more familiar with the sea situation. ”

"After that, the ship will go to Liaodong, and these islands along the way will stop for supplies." Shen Rui said and went to see Lu Liulang.

"That's wonderful!" Lu Liulang said, "When the current fleet goes to Liaodong, if there is a high wind and waves, it will also go to the island to avoid danger, but because there is no one on the island and there is no spring, there is no supply, only shelter from the wind." ”

Shen Rui nodded with a smile and said: "The official thinks that the island is thin and not suitable for growing grain, so you can always plant some pasture grass and shrubs, and buy a large number of cattle and sheep from Liaodong in the autumn, and you can unload the islands and raise them first."

"The sea in Liaodong is frozen in winter, and it is difficult for ships to travel, so we always have to rush out at a time, unload the cargo fleet and return to continue to buy, and grab a time. In the spring, the counties lacked livestock and could be transported back from the island. ”

Lu Liulang nodded again and again, but Qi Dalang said worriedly: "My lord, this line is inevitably too long, and with the supply of cattle and sheep, I am afraid that it will be coveted by the bandits." We are limited in people and ships, and there is always a time when we can't see the photos, and the loss will be great. The most ferocious thing that happened to the sea was that the goods were robbed, and the people were killed and thrown into the sea......"

Shen Rui Zhengse said: "If you want to open the sea, you can't just take the relatively safe route of Liaodong. How much can Liaodong eat? The trade between the north and the south is by sea, and there is a large market, as well as Korea, the Japanese country, the South Seas and even overseas countries.

"With such a big sea frontier, we always have to face these murderers, so it depends on whether our fists are hard enough.

"If there is a trend of 'those who offend me as a strong man, although they are far away, they will be punished', then Qunkou An dares to be arrogant?! When I saw the Ming banner from afar, I was about to flee! ”

Although Qi Dalang is heroic, he is close to the age of confusion, and he is not a hot-blooded young man who will be bewitched by one or two bold words.

He frowned and tried to argue again, but his father stopped him.

Qi Xuan took over the words and still sighed: "The vision that the adults said is really the great Li Dengzhou, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, but now, after a year and a half, the sailor can't practice the ability that the adult thinks." ”

Shen Rui smiled and said, "Qi Yan knows the most about maritime affairs, so this official will not be able to get an axe." The sea frontier was not fought overnight, first practiced well in the near sea, and then went to the far sea.

"It's just that this goal must be set up first, and you can't retreat because the pirates are strong for a while, and then don't go over there, wouldn't it be to give up the entire sea frontier to others?!

"The pirates not only run rampant on the sea, but also go ashore to plunder, and their behavior is as brutal and heinous as the pirates."

As soon as Shen Rui's voice fell, Tian Shun behind him couldn't help but bow down to everyone, and said angrily: "I don't know if Qi Ye has heard the name of the 'Giant Shark Gang' on the sea in the area of Suzhou Mansion, that is, the water bandit gang that made Lord Wang Shouren kill the guts, and later the second boss of the big family voted for the imperial court."

"Shi Tiantai, the leader of the three of them, ran out with a group, still under the banner of the Giant Shark Gang, burning, killing and looting in Suzhou Mansion, not only did they dare to kill the officers and soldiers, but they also dared to capture the military ship!"

Shen Rui also sighed: "Qi Baishi and Qi Baihu think they have read the Di newspaper, Zhenhaiwei commanded Jiang Han to be deprived of his position, and Songjiang Mansion shipbuilding was all caused by this incident. ”

Even the merchants don't know about the rivers and lakes, and they have all read the newspaper of the imperial court, the Shi family brothers are making a lot of noise, and Han Daqin Er's pupils are all shrinking.

Qi Xuan doesn't care about anything in Dengzhou Wei, he is also a commander, and he has been training and preparing for the Japanese for many years, his father and son are very concerned about the movements of the bandits, and they are quite familiar with the "Giant Shark Gang" that has been reported by the imperial court many times.

Qi Xuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Water masters must be practiced." A certain family is also worried about this giant shark gang.

"Now that Lord Wang has trained the Nanzhili Sailor into a strong army, the Giant Shark Gang can't stand in Suzhou Mansion, and I heard that they have appeared in Yangzhou and Huai'an Mansion and committed crimes.

"And today's warm breeze is smooth, if they have a mind, all the way north to plague Shandong............ We have to guard against it. ”

Tian Shun's face changed slightly when he heard this, he never broke off his connection with the rivers and lakes, especially Shi Tiantai's immortality in destroying their senior brothers' hearts, he never dared to take it lightly, and he was always staring at the movement by the water.

He was one of Shi Tiantai's accomplices, Niu Dongshan, who had gone ashore in Yangzhou Mansion.

It's just that Yangzhou has also been a big drought in the past two years, and the people are very bitter, Niu Dongshan didn't grab anything, and was surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, and fled to the sea in a hurry, never looking back again.

The Giant Shark Gang showed up in Huai'an Mansion, and even went to Shandong, but Tian Shun didn't hear the slightest rumor.

But it is true that now is the time for the wind to go north, and the giant shark of Baobuqi may come to Shandong.

As for why not go south to the richer Fujian and Zhejiang, because of a few well-known sea lords over there, the Giant Shark Gang did not dare to provoke it even in its heyday, not to mention that now after encirclement and surrender, Shi Tiantai brought out only 30% of the original strength.

They only dared to be cruel to the unarmed people.

Shen Rui's face was solemn, and he said: "The Giant Shark Gang has always been active in the offshore sea, and if you want to go north along the coastline, you have to pass through Laizhou, Qingzhou. The official will repair a letter and ask the two governments of Qinglai to be vigilant. ”

He paused, and then said: "I should also be on guard in the Dengzhou Mansion, and I also ask Qi Baishi to bother more, and work with Pan Baishi to cooperate with Da Songwei, Jinghaiwei, and Chengshanwei. ”

Qi Xuan's face was solemn and he said yes, but Qi Dalang's eyes flashed with excitement, and his face was eager to try.

After some further discussion, the general strategy of immigration was decided, and the meeting was dismissed.

As for the details of immigration, Shen Rui and the officials of the government and county will be finalized tomorrow.

It's not early today, Shen Rui's family has just arrived, and it's time to go back for a reunion.

There is also a special courtyard for a few staff members in the house over there, and now that Shen Rui has gone back to live there, several staff members have discussed, and the mastermind Master Chen has moved over with him, in case the owner can consult at any time, and the remaining few are temporarily in the government office to help take care of trivial official business.

Here, the Shen Mansion helped Master Chen move, and over there, Shen Rui took Tian Shun and his party back first.

Along the way, Tian Shun pulled a face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Straight into the gate of the Shen Mansion, the two of them went to the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, Tian Shun asked Shen Rui for instructions, and wanted to go to Wendeng in person to see what was wrong with Wendeng's news network, why there was no dynamic news of the Giant Shark Gang.

Wendeng is at the easternmost tip of the Shandong Peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there are not many maritime merchants such as the Lu family, but there are also many small maritime merchants in scattered places.

There are also many inconspicuous land-sitting households, who specialize in collecting things from the sea, whether they are smuggled or looted, they can be laundered through various channels, and they are the most well-informed at sea.

The snake hyacinths are accustomed to dealing with these people, and when Tian Shun rolled out the Shandong communication network, he had already buried informants in Wendeng.

"The little one knows that he is going to immigrate to the island at this time, Brother Changshou has just come back and is not familiar with the situation, and the stick is not there, and the adults are only afraid that there is still a small place, but it is ......"

Tian Shun's brows twisted into a pimple, "Shi Tiantai is ruthless, more evil than his two elder brothers, if he really goes north, grab a handful and leave, commit crimes in many places, and the soldier of the Shandong Guard Station is afraid that he will not be able to catch him." ”

He took a deep breath, "The adults are kind, reward me and my senior brother and brother for a mouthful of food, we can't make trouble for the adults, if he knows that we are sheltering the adults, deliberately harming the people of Dengzhou Mansion, and dragging down the adults, we will not be able to atone for our sins even if we die!" ”

Shen Rui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Shunzi, you think too much, we said it at the beginning, if we dare to use you, we can protect you." You have also helped me a lot, and now Dengzhou has a lot of places to rely on you, so don't mention such words again. ”

His eyes were contemplative, with a cool feeling, "Shi Tiantai has done a lot of evil and has a lot of blood debts, even if there is no such thing as your master, this official will want to think of taking him down!" You have also seen Pan Jiayu's ability, as well as the father and son of the Qi family, and now the people of the Nanjing Navy Division have also arrived, plus you and your friends on the road, you are no match for Shi Tiantai, who is a remnant of the defeated army? ”

As he spoke, he slapped Tian Shun again, raised his palm, signaled Tian Shun to high-five as an alliance, and said loudly: "Shunzi, dare you say that there is no return, let that surname Shi go and have no return, and let that giant shark become a dead fish?!" ”

Although Tian Shun still had clouds in his heart, when he thought of the Nanjing Sailor and saw Shen Rui's hard words, he couldn't help but get excited, and nodded: "If he destroys my master, it's time for me to take revenge!" Let this dog thief surnamed Shi go and never return! ”

The two high-fived each other three times, and they were full of pride and laughed at each other.

Shen Rui thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Do you remember the second sister of the treasure bead?" ”

On the way to the day, they were entangled by the jewel, and the jewel once said that their sisters recognized the "hero" of the sea boat, and the eldest sister Jin entered Beijing in order to avoid trouble, and wanted to hide in the back house of the rich and noble family without being discovered, until the "hero" died, they dared to go to Shandong.

At that time, she said that the hero was Meng Hongtong, the leader of a huge gang in the south, but the so-called misfortune was a matter of children's affection, and the main room did not tolerate the bloody affairs of the outer room.

Tian Shun is one hundred and twenty unbelievers.

The nine-headed Jiao is the largest gang in the East China Sea, based in the Wa Kingdom, and it is said that there are tens of thousands of gangs under its command, and the ships trading with the Wa Kingdom on the southeast coast have to pay for the road to it.

The reason why the nine-headed Jiao is called this name is because there are nine masters.

And Meng Hongtong's wife, Aunt Tu, is also one of the leaders.

That's a female devil who inherited her father's fleet, roamed the seas, and killed people without blinking.

If the Jin family is really Meng Hongtong's outer room, and the aunt Tu is not happy, then these three sisters would have been chopped into dumpling fillings and filled with fish belly, where can they still jump in the capital Jinan.

However, Baozhu's second sister Yuzhu is indeed in Dengzhou Mansion now, not in Fucheng, but in Wendeng, it is indeed a top brand in Hualou.

As for the so-called friendship on the water, Baozhu said vaguely, and Tian Shun couldn't find out which one it was, but found out that Jing Haiwei's commander Feng You was one of Yuzhu's benefactors.

Tian Shun heard Shen Rui mention the treasure bead, and said with some surprise: "My lord, are you going to use her to Wendeng to find out the news?" ”

There is a conductor benefactor, and the Yuzhu girl is only afraid that she will do some business of selling stolen goods, but there is no good relationship at sea, and there will be many news channels.

It's just that seeing that Baozhu didn't contact the Eight Immortals, but followed Mrs. Tai's car back, and dressed like that, Tian Shun also said that this person was going to enter the prefect's mansion from his conscience.

Unexpectedly, the prefect really used her as a housekeeper.

Shen Rui said indifferently: "Tomorrow I will recruit her to ask about the glass workshop and the craftsman, if she is a practical person, let her go to Wendeng." Of course, you'll have to find two useful people to follow. ”

Tian Shun said with a smile: "The little one understands, I will go to Brother Changshou to discuss the candidate later." ”

He is a clever person, and now that Changshou has come to Dengzhou Mansion, he consciously lowers his position and puts longevity first.

After saying that, when he saw Shen Rui's head, he knew that he was rightly respecting longevity, so he saluted.

Shen Rui entered the second door, went to Xu's side to say hello first, and went back to the room to change clothes, so that he had time to talk to Yang Tian.

Yang Tian talked about what he had seen and heard along the way, and he smiled Yan Yan, but he was very happy.

Shen Rui looked at her like this, and smiled unconsciously, and said, "When the wind and waves are calm, we will take a boat to the island to have a look." ”

Yang Tian had never been on a sea boat, so he couldn't help but yearn for it, and he responded in a loud voice.

Because he smiled again: "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, when the porridge shed is up, the sister-in-law of the Lu family said that she wants to take me to the city for a walk, I heard that Puzhao Temple is very effective?" ”

Shen Rui sneered: "Faith is spiritual." Dengzhou people also said that the Dragon King Temple is the most effective, the two years of drought, the size of the sacrifice is afraid that there are not hundreds of times, in the end there is no Dragon King apparition. ”

Yang Tian hurriedly covered his mouth, frowned, and said: "You are now a parent, you can't say such things, if there are really gods who listen to it, won't it hurt the people." ”

Shen Rui smiled at her and apologized: "Yes, yes, it's me who lost my words, and the gods are not strange." What kind letter does Yang Tianer ask for? ”

Yang Tian put up a small face, and said seriously: "I want to bring down the rain, the five grains will be abundant, and the country and the people will be safe." ”

Shen Ruiden burst out laughing.

Yang Tian couldn't hold back his laughter, punched him twice, and said angrily: "It's sincere, but it makes you laugh fakely." ”

Shen Rui took a sip of his mouth and made a sealing posture, but he couldn't hold back the smile in his eyes.

Yang Tian glared at him, and said, "I also require my mother and my parents to be in good health, and my brother and you have a smooth career." In my heart, I wanted to ask for an heir, but I was embarrassed to say it.

Shen Rui high-fived and smiled: "This is the right reason." I should also ask my wife Tian'er to be beautiful and happy every day. ”

Yang Tian feigned annoyance, pushed him and said, "I won't tell you, it's not serious." ”

But he was hugged by Shen Rui, with his pink cheeks, and he couldn't break free, so he finally laughed in his arms.

The two laughed a little, and came over there to report that the Lu family had arrived, and the couple hurriedly sorted out their clothes and went over there.

Although today is a family reunion banquet, in the end there is a relationship with the Lu family, and the two families are already tightly tied together in Dengzhou Mansion, so the Xu family invited the Lu family to come and had a lively feast.

After Shen Rui and his wife saw off the guests, they went to Xu's side.

The Xu family sent a room full of maids and servants, and the first thing was to say that Shen Ying wanted to give Shen Quan a Huai'an Mansion outside.

They had also discussed this matter in Beijing, and they originally wanted to choose a county in Beizhili.

"I received Brother Ying's letterhead on the way, saying that I was going to Huai'an Mansion, and it would be beneficial to ship by sea." Xu said, "Brother Ying said that it is also your master and your father-in-law, and the two elders said that it is feasible." ”

"As for the Beizhili side, it is also a maritime fortress, it can't be empty, and it is too eye-catching to transfer our family to it, your master has found a protΓ©gΓ© of Wang Wei and put it in Jinghai County."

She paused, and her voice became a little lower: "Wang Wei has already written twice to beg for leave, the emperor may be, and your master has also persuaded him twice." ”

Shen Rui realized that this is the person who is Wang Wei on the surface, and he has actually voted for Wang Hua.

He said with a smile: "If it is transported by sea, it will be unimpeded from north to south to Beijing." ”

Xu smiled and listened to his son's outlook on the prospect of shipping.

Then she brought up another matter.

Hearing that it was Sister Fu'er's marriage, Shen Rui couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "How old is Sister Fu'er, why do you want to talk about others?" ”

Xu poked him and said: "You are too confused, I only know how old I am, I don't know how old my sister is, she is thirteen years old this year, but it is not time to look at others." ”

Shen Rui smacked his lips and shook his head with a smile, "I still feel that she hasn't grown up." ”

Because he asked again, "This is not in a hurry, I have to look at it after the autumn of next year, that is, I don't wait for six years to find a jinshi in the spring, but also to find someone in the autumn." Who came to propose? ”

Xu sighed and said, "The eldest princess of Chun'an is the matchmaker, and she is talking about the ...... of the son of the Youfu Ma family, who is a compatriot with the British princess and Mrs. Sun."

"Yoo-hyun?!" Shen Rui was even more surprised, "What, how could it be his family?!" ”

Although the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties are not as clear as the martial arts, the noble families are generally married to each other, and few civil and military generals are in-laws.

And the eldest princess of Chun'an is this iceman......

King De ......
