Chapter 445: It turns out that His Majesty also loves to eat fish
Zhu Houzhao personally served a bowl of fish soup in front of Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi took a silver spoon and looked at the white soup, which was a specially selected piece of fish.
Drink it all in one gulp.
Suddenly......
With a ......
Indescribable feeling.
Because of the sea ban, there are not many seafood in the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Hongzhi loves to eat fish, and all he eats is river fish.
After all, the river fish in the river is saprophyrcus for a living, in order to remove the fish, this era does not have too many means, often like to add more 'ingredients' in the soup, but this ingredient is added, but the fish taste is reduced.
This big yellow croaker is different, the big yellow croaker is delicious, only a little salt is put in, therefore, this rich fish fresh suddenly rushed to the heart of Emperor Hongzhi.
The deliciousness of the fish can be seen at a glance in this soup.
Emperor Hongzhi had a delicate aftertaste, and carefully scooped a bite of fish.
The taste of fish...... Compared with the river fish, it is different.
As soon as the meat of the river fish is cooked, it will immediately disperse, bland and tasteless, but this big yellow croaker, with a trace of elasticity in the meat, eats ...... Comfortable......
This fragrant and tender fish, paired with this soup, is really amazing.
Emperor Hongzhi's eyebrows fluttered: "This soup should only be in the sky." ”
After eating quickly, I couldn't help but care about my full stomach: "Scoop another bowl." You all eat, you all taste, take a look at what the victims of our Ningbo Mansion are eating now. ”
In fact, this rich fish fragrance has already aroused everyone's appetite.
Now that His Majesty has finally opened Chrysostom, he can't wait for it.
The eunuchs scooped bowls of soup and distributed them to the ministers.
Liu Jian took a sip and sighed in his mouth: "This fish is delicious, Lao Chen, I am a little envious of these victims, haha......"
What a baby.
Such a baby can be eaten by people, and it tastes good, which ...... Isn't it another potato?
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "This fish is not only delicious, but also can maintain its appearance and beauty, and it is nutritious, so it is ...... Well...... It can make the body good and is a nourishing thing. ”
"Really?" Emperor Hongji has already eaten the second bowl.
It's so delicious.
So he glanced at Xiao Jing, and Xiao Jing continued to serve the soup bitterly.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly: "Doesn't this mean that eating too fast and nourishing too much...... The victims ......"
Emperor Hongji's expression was strange, and what he was worried about was whether the victims would be useless.
But when I think about it, I suddenly feel a little melancholy.
Thinking that the victims are eating fish soup every day, they are not replenished when they eat it.
I've been eating mashed potatoes for so many days...... This...... It's a little embarrassing.
Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao don't want to be embarrassed, they don't like to eat in a small bowl, Zhu Houzhao directly took two pots and gave one to Fang Jifan, and the two of them didn't want eunuchs to scoop the soup, but did it themselves, in this big pot, after scooping the soup, take a spoon to remove the fatty meat on the fish, Zhu Houzhao personally took charge of the spoon, he cut off a piece of fish and put it in his basin, Fang Jifan stretched out the bowl with both hands, Zhu Houzhao cut off another piece, and gave Fang Jifan a piece, and then gave himself another piece, and gave Fang Jifan a piece.
After a while, the two of them at least took more than two catties of the fattest meat, and then happily squatted aside, hungry, and started eating.
Emperor Hongzhi wanted to scold these two things that didn't like words, and they didn't eat them, but as soon as the words came out, they swallowed them back.
His stomach was a little stretched, so he drank more soup.
The other ministers ate with great pleasure.
Ma Wensheng was burping and drinking the soup squirmingly.
This fish is not easy to come by, this is like the appearance of the imperial meal in the palace, just the potato...... The food is really ......
Forget it, maybe after eating this fish, maybe it will be transferred?
Emperor Hongzhi was sweating hot, so he reluctantly put down the dishes and chopsticks and raised his head: "Fang Jifan, it's time to talk about it now." ”
Fang Jifan raised his head, wanting to say something, taking advantage of this effort, Zhu Houzhao's chopsticks quietly reached into Fang Jifan's bowl, and he took a piece of fish that Fang Jifan wanted to eat later, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Fang Jifan had never suffered such a big loss, and if he didn't finish eating this fish soup, he was not at ease, so he said: "The minister is hungry, eat it first." ”
He lowered his head, the wind swept the clouds, only then touched his belly, comfortable, not afraid of thieves stealing, just afraid of thieves worrying, now there is nothing to be worried about, relaxed: "Your Majesty, this fish, called big yellow croaker, can be nourishing, and the yield is very ......"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan, and felt that Fang Jifan, this kid, God knows how much knowledge he still has in his stomach, and he said, "That's all?" You say that it has a large production, but does this fish in the sea also have an output? ”
"It's nature." Fang Jifan said: "On this ocean, there are treasures everywhere, not to mention others, just say this fish, every year during the fishing flood, when it comes to the season, the southeast coast, this fish will be overwhelming, as long as it is aimed at its habits, understand their structure, prescribe the right medicine, a year's catch, Chen dare to guarantee, enough to fill the stomach of millions of people on the southeast coast, if it is only used to improve life, Chen dare to guarantee, as long as the full fishing, I Ming millions of people, can improve the diet, the people's table, can not only potatoes and rice, Potatoes and rice can only keep people from starving, but only a lot of meat can make the people strong. ”
"The people regard food as the sky, Your Majesty is the holy king, if the people can eat enough and eat well, this is the real great merit. Relying on fish for disaster relief is nothing, this is not a long-term solution, but because all things are born, and all things can be eaten, our Ming military and civilian people, the types of food on the table are too few and too few, this food is the same as the household, want to make the household rich in money and food, it is nothing more than the word open source and throttling. ”
"In the past, the imperial court blindly thought about throttling, believing that as long as everyone was thrifty, in this way, more people could be fed. But Chen didn't think so, the world is full of food, why do you have to throttle, in the vast ocean, this big yellow croaker is just one of thousands of fish......"
Emperor Hongji gasped.
What Fang Jifan said is not unreasonable, in the past, if you want people to eat enough, what the court thinks is always that the emperor takes it away, eat less, and the dignitaries and gentry also eat less and relieve some people under the moral influence of the emperor, so that more people can eat more.
But...... This idea has been around for thousands of years, so ...... Why not take the initiative to open source?
Potatoes are open source, sweet potatoes are open source, and pork meat is open source, this big yellow croaker...... Isn't it also open source?
In the past, the Ming Dynasty was afraid of the vast ocean, and always believed that the sea brought more harm to the Ming Dynasty than good.
But today, Emperor Hongzhi calculated this huge catch in his heart, and looked down at the big yellow croaker soup, thinking about the people of Ningbo Mansion.
If there is no big yellow croaker, there is no fishing by the town and the government guards, I want to come...... Now the soldiers and civilians of Ningbo are really eating soil.
Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan: "But I heard that the fishermen in the Song and Yuan dynasties were also fishing, but their harvest was not as big as imagined, but many fishermen, but because of poverty, they took risks, and after going to sea, this overseas became a lawless and unruly place, and it was increasingly difficult to control, this ...... And why? ”
The core of the problem is that people abroad are often unable to restrain them.
These people went out to sea, in groups of three or five, and some even gathered hundreds of thousands, once there was no harvest from fishing, they simply attacked merchant ships, and even harassed the inland.
And in this era, under such a productive force, the imperial court has no way to effectively crack down on it.
The end result is ...... There are more and more such foreigners, and the court is overwhelmed.
"So...... Where did the pirates come from? Fang Jifan said: "Aren't the Japanese Kou also a group of lawless alien people? As long as there is a huge wealth in this vast sea, the Ming Dynasty does not take it, since someone should take it, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that blindly prohibiting it is not a long-term way, over the years, the Japanese have intensified, precisely because in this ocean, looting is profitable. But if fishing can make people rich, then who wants to be a fool? The people of the world, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Japanese people, who wants to be a coward? It's just that I can't live......"
Fang Jifan saw that the faces of the ministers were a little ugly.
It seems that everyone realizes that Fang Jifan wants to shake the foundation of the sea ban.
In fact, there is a huge controversy in the imperial court over the opening of the sea and the prohibition of the sea, and there are countless people who agree with the opening of the sea.
The problem is that there is too much dark wave behind this sea ban, once it is touched, it will immediately cause huge controversy, and the voice of opposition is overwhelming, which is no longer as simple as a few ministers opposing it, but causing many local gentry and scholars to lash out.
It is easy to offend a few officials, and even some private party groups in the DPRK and China, but if you offend a stratum, it will trigger the biggest backlash from them, but it will be fatal.
Therefore, no one wants to touch this mold, even His Majesty the Emperor is extremely cautious about this.
Fang Jifan didn't seem to have thought about opening the sea completely, everything had to be done slowly, and said slowly: "So the minister's suggestion is that in order to prevent the people from going to the sea, you might as well temporarily order the Zhenguo Mansion to prepare for the guards, and ask Your Majesty for permission to order the Zhenguo Mansion to build more ships and recruit some personnel to catch overseas fish." ”
Emperor Hongji's brows widened.
He glanced at Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao was also full of anticipation.
To tell the truth, such a big yellow croaker, if you don't catch it, Emperor Hongzhi is uneasy: "I'm right." Decree, the town and the government are prepared for guards, and they can ignore the sea ban! ”
………………
