Fang Jifan could see the embarrassment in Zhu Houzhao's face.

It's like a master who suddenly discovered that his secret old craft was suddenly usurped.

shrugged his shoulders, Fang Jifan couldn't help this.

A few days later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got married, but no one paid attention to this big wedding, and the crown princess Shen, according to Wensheng, was dignified, but what it looked like, Fang Jifan had never seen it.

Thinking about this Shen who had just passed the door, with the green prairie on his head, Fang Jifan himself didn't know how she would feel, when she woke up, looking at the seven women who touched her big belly, what would she feel like, if one of them was still nearly thirty years old, in this era, she could almost be her mother, then ......

So Fang Jifan looked at Shen Ao's expression, weird.

Shen Ao was very happy, the Shen family was about to become a queen, although she was still the crown princess, but His Royal Highness the crown prince was also someone he admired very much.

It's just that at this time, he needs to pack his bags, and together with Yang Biao, he set off with more than 2,000 soldiers from the flying ball battalion, countless flying balls were loaded into hundreds of carts, in addition, there are countless fuels, in order to set off, Xishan recruited thousands of cattle and horses, as well as more than 900 households.

The mighty procession headed south, and they would trek through mountains and rivers in three months to reach Guizhou.

At the same time, the guards who were far away in Ningbo had also received orders.

Ningbo Beiwei has recruited more than 1,500 Yiwu and Yongkang people who have been poor for 18 lifetimes, after all, in this era, people who have been rich for 18 generations are more difficult to find, but this poor man who has been poor for 18 lifetimes is all over the mountains.

The guards were well treated, and as soon as they heard that they were going to recruit people, people rushed to be the first to do so.

After months of training, fishing, and whaling, these people have grown rapidly.

There are already seven warships in Beiwei, and in addition to six ships specializing in fishing, the fish production has been increasing steadily.

Almost every month, there are as many as seventy or eighty giant whales dragged back from overseas, and in this bay, aquatic product processing workshops have sprung up, countless farmers have become slaughtering craftsmen, there are special wax workshops nearby, and at the same time, workshops specializing in the processing of whale skin, whale bones, and whale meat have also sprung up.

In the south of the Yangtze River, the taxes of Ningbo Prefecture have risen in a straight line, so that the household department has also shown support for Ningbo Water Village.

On the one hand, there is a large number of aquatic products, which can replace grain, and the places in the south of the Yangtze River eat more fish, and the demand for rice is naturally reduced.

This Ningbo mansion can now bring 500,000 taels of silver to the imperial court every year in salt tax.

This...... It's an extremely scary number.

You must know that the main tax of the Ming Dynasty comes from taxes in kind. For example, for peasant households, the imperial court collects grain tax, and grain tax is grain. For the merchants who made cloth, the imperial court adopted the method of one out of ten and directly collected the cloth; In the case of silk, silk is a tax.

Therefore, the tax and silver income of the Ming Dynasty is not much, two or three million taels a year, which is a lot.

The court has no silver, which is actually quite embarrassing, so that most of the officials and sergeants issue horses and charcoal as salaries, and even the imperial court simply uses Daming treasure money to pay salaries.

However, the 500,000 taels of silver brought by Ningbo Mansion a year greatly alleviated the embarrassing situation of the household.

Because the imperial court mainly collected tax and silver revenue, which came from salt and iron, such as salt, the imperial court adopted a monopoly system, and the salt was produced, and the salt merchant was required to exchange silver for salt, and then it was allowed to sell it.

Because of this, the price of salt has been high, and led to the rampant private salt, therefore, the salt tax since the founding of the country, not only has not increased, but less and less, the situation in Ningbo is different, a large number of fish landing, need to be processed, to make salted fish, pickled fish, in order to ensure that it will not rot, the demand for salt, extraordinarily huge, some workshops, daily salt, is hundreds of catties, and this, with almost all official salt, a large number of salted fish, pickled fish after preparation, and then sold to the inland or Beijing, The sales volume is surprisingly good, although the price is high, but after all, the cost of yellow croaker is low, even if official salt is used, it is also profitable.

In this way, Shuizhai made a sum of silver, and the gentry of Ningbo Mansion made a sum of silver; The salt merchant made a fortune; The merchant who transshipped also made a sum of silver; Even the imperial court made a lot of money.

Up to millions of catties of salted fish and pickled fish every day, through various channels, into all parts of the world, among thousands of households, even in the army, also like to use such fish as dry food to carry, after all, the shelf life is long, and with this salted fish, in fact, it can be eaten instead of salt, when you want to boil porridge, cut a small piece of pickled fish meat and put it in, not only the taste of porridge water is delicious, even the salt can be saved, it can be described as a home trip, a must-have fish.

The military order of the Zhenguo Mansion reached the water village.

Tang Yin gasped.

This is thousands of miles away from Annan, and this attack, he never imagined that his teacher would actually borrow the power of the water village.

Fortunately, the hydrological situation of Annam has long been clearly understood by Xu Jing, who went to the Western Ocean, and the route is not a problem.

Tang Yin ascended to the throne, summoned the military attaches up and down the water village, and issued an order.

After that, all the sailors were called to the school grounds and the order to go to Annam to fight began to be given.

Qi Jingtong, who had returned to Shuizhai from Beijing, read the military order on the spot.

In an instant, the sailors cheered excitedly.

Some people knelt down on their legs, scraping the sand and gravel on the ground with their hands, and wept bitterly with excitement.

The screaming sailors burst into tears one by one.

Finally...... Wait and come.

Especially those recruits.

They did not have a good time to fight the pirates.

It was a happy day for the veterans to brag about half a year.

How many veterans, with a war of annihilation, directly sent silver home to build a house, and it was not a rammed earth piled up to build a thatched house, all of which were made of blue bricks and red tiles, and even the beams of the house were made of big wood.

Right now...... It's finally here.

Although fishing is a lot of income, but after a month, the income is visible after all, in other words, this is called life faded out of a bird.

But going to Annam, or even fighting, it's different.

The recruits were eager to try, and the veterans remembered their prosperous years and shed tears in their armor.

Every time, at this time, Qi Jingtong couldn't help but recite his mantra: "Don't get excited, don't get excited, let's go to Annan, thousands of miles apart, and fight, it will be a few months later, now, you still need to be patient, you don't need to rush to attack, you still need to focus on fishing, and you have to wait for the order to attack; Now to convey the general's order, I am asking Ling'er and others to step up their training in case of contingencies, because the tactics of the Annamite people are different from those of the Japanese Invaders, and from today onwards, the methods of training will also be different......

He roared hysterically, but the sound was soon drowned out by cheers and screams.

The head is silver, and silver means that you can marry a mother-in-law, have a baby, buy land, build a house, and glorify the township.

The sailors can almost see the foundation of their big house, they can imagine what their babies look like, and even the names of their grandchildren have begun to be chosen.

Qi Jingtong had no choice but to spread his hands and look at Hu Kaishan.

Hu Kaishan was naked, the pectoralis major muscle on his chest trembled, and then let out a lion roar: "*You*, all *** shut up Lao Tzu, a group of damn poor ghosts, thinking about the mother-in-law and the house all day long, you can't think about the teachings of Tang Shixue and Qi Qianhu, let's think of something healthy, such as serving the court, and serving the country?" ”

All of a sudden, the sailors quieted down, and everyone looked at Hu Kaishan like quails.

Hu Kaishan was satisfied, and said to Qi Jingdao: "Okay, Qi Qianhu, you can talk next." Tell me about things other than marrying a daughter-in-law, having a baby, buying land, and building a house. They don't like to hear it, I like to hear it! ”

Qi Jingtong: "......"

………………

Guiyang.

The horse has arrived, and the medicine brought has been delivered.

Fang Jinglong was seriously ill, and all the things inside and outside Guiyang were decided by Mrs. Liu.

Madame was born in a rebel army, but she controlled the overall situation of the rebellion, and hundreds of thousands of natives, men, women, and children were all sent by her.

Now, marrying Fang Jinglong, he has also been exposed to the situation in the army of the Ming Dynasty, so he has been ordered one after another, so although it is the current epidemic, the situation in the army is quite stable.

Liu is very worried about her husband's situation, the epidemic is extremely terrible, the doctors in the army are helpless at all, and the so-called local doctors have also exhausted their prescriptions, but there is still no effect.

Seeing that her husband was terminally ill and blind, he vomited almost every day, and his high fever became more and more severe, so that he could not eat, fainted for a long time, and even if he woke up occasionally, he kept talking nonsense.

In the Guizhou army, there are thousands of seriously ill people like Fujun, and there are tens of thousands of other infected people, and such an epidemic is still spreading wildly, and no one knows that the next moment, some people will begin to chill and cough.

Therefore, when Fang Jifan's family letter was sent, at the same time, he also brought the so-called 'special medicine'.

Liu almost didn't hesitate to personally give Fang Jinglong medicine.

At this time, there is no way to distinguish the quality of this drug, and it is better to have a medicine than to sit back and wait for death.

Now, because of this epidemic, as many as 200 people have died, and every day in the army, some people have died violently.

She took the medicine herself, pillowed Fang Jinglong's head, which was already like a withered body, on her lap, took a spoon, and fed the medicine into Fang Jinglong's mouth while Fang Jinglong was still a little conscious.

Fang Jinglong was already angry, he only tried to open his eyes wider, his eyes were blurry, he suddenly thought of something, while sucking the medicine, he snorted very hard: "Your Majesty, have you agreed, have you agreed?" ”
