Chapter 65 The Bohai Sea is in danger

Enjoy the blessings of Qi people, Xu Qing is almost singing every night, if it weren't for the thick foundation and many tonic strengthening, I'm afraid it would have been sucked a long time ago. People are dry.

Each month is divided into three, and one person is ten days, impartial. The three daughters have been together for a long time, and they know that Xu Qing's words of not distinguishing between concubines are not lies. In this way, the three daughters are becoming more and more harmonious, and in addition to harmony, there is a great tendency to "isolate" Xu Qing.

But as far as the relationship between the three daughters is concerned, it looks like this:

Xun Xue'er is the eldest woman, although Xu Qing does not distinguish between concubines, but she gave birth to the first man of the Xu family, everyone still knows it, and knows that she is in Xu Qing's heart or that the status of the Xu family is unshakable. Don't talk about Xiaoyue, she is like a sister with Xun Xue'er, although Huang Shimei is a little different, she is also polite and thoughtful. Huang Shimei and Xiaoyue are also very respectful.

Let's talk about Huang Shimei. Huang Shimei, as the daughter of the family, this advantage is not comparable to Xun Xueer and Xiaoyue, "peasant girls" and "maidservants", so Xun Xueer has respect for Huang Shimei, but also some envy, envy, and some inferiority.

The chores in Xu Qing's house are all handled by Xiao Yue, and if Xiao Yue is not sure about the bigger things, she will not ask Xu Qing directly, but ask Xun Xue'er first, and let Xun Xue'er ask Xu Qing.

Before Huang Shimei left the Huang family, she had already arranged all the things in hand, and now she is cooperating with the Huang family on behalf of the Xu family and serving as the affairs consultant of the Huang family. But the Huang family has a relationship with Xu Qing, and they are in the limelight, and there are almost no difficult things to deal with. It can be said that as long as Xu Qing's "big tree" does not fall for a day, the status of the Huang family in Cangzhou will be unshakable.

During the day, Xu Qing dealt with some official affairs such as the taxes of Cangzhou City every day, saying that it was to deal with it, but it was just to take a look. The Department of Commerce and Taxation and the Education Bureau are departments directly under the jurisdiction of the state, and all the expenditure income does not go through the county, and is directly reported to Xu Qing.

These official tasks are only done for half an hour every day, and after they are finished, Xu Qing will be funny. Make Xiao Xu Qing, and half a day has passed. It's a pity that Xu Xiaoqing doesn't understand anything, he can only eat his hands and smirk.

Life is carefree......

In May, around the Dragon Boat Festival, the naval army stationed in Huanghua gradually took shape, with complete personnel and a system of armor soldiers. With the few small boats captured last time, plus the repaired boats left behind when the pirates came ashore for the first time, the hardware equipment of the navy army was improved.

Chu Jiang reported that if he encountered the kind of pirates who came before, he would also have the strength to fight. When Xu Qing heard this, he was so excited that he awarded the names of the three warships - Cangzhou Ship, Huanghua Ship, and Haixing Ship. Originally, Xu Qing wanted to give the three warships names such as slaughtering the sun and destroying the Han, but after thinking about it, the Japanese and the Banghan have not yet been founded, and the people living in the peninsula and the archipelago now don't know what nationality they are, so they didn't start. Besides, he was born in the Tang Dynasty now, so it is natural to proceed from reality and develop our Chinese people well, so that they can become strong and wise, which is the right thing. Earn some verbal cheap, what's the good?

The warship was awarded the flag, and the first voyage was made by Xu Qing. Sail out of the port, more than 20 miles eastward, the sailors are exhausted, anchor and rest. The small boat went out to sea, took out the fishing nets, and made a few nets around the place where the big boat had anchored, and the harvest was full. With this technology, even if there is no food at sea, you can still survive by fishing.

After eating and resting for an hour, the sea breeze gradually rose, and the waves became stronger. Sometimes the boat reaches the top of the waves, as if it were three floors, and sometimes it dives to the bottom of the waves, as if it is about to be submerged by the sea. Xu Qing stood on the boat, feeling the ups and downs, but without the slightest fear, he had a feeling of wanting to conquer the sea. This desire to conquer comes from the desire to explore the end of the sea.

What's on the other side of the ocean? The people on the boat all heard Xu Qing's question, but no one knew, they looked into the distance, trying to find the answer, but they still didn't know what was on the other side of the sea.

They didn't know, but Xu Qing knew.

To the northeast, there is Liaodong, the Yan people, the ancestors of the sticks, the Xi people, the Dahe clan, and the Turkic people in that area are intertwined. To the south, is Shandong. To the east, first to the island nations, and further east, to the Americas, where sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and peppers are located!

As long as you have sweet potatoes or one of them, it is not a dream to have a population of more than 100 million.

It is to test the effectiveness of the warship, Xu Qing and the seafarers together, in the sea to stop the ship and sleep overnight, the next morning, the sea fog, and try the effect of sailing in the case of low visibility, when returning to the port at noon, can not find Huanghua Port at once, deviate a lot, along the coast five or six miles, before entering Huanghua Port.

Xu Qing took this voyage like a tourist to see the scenery, but Chu Jiang was not idle, he took this opportunity to see the difference between naval battles and river battles and lake battles, and summed up a lot of valuable experience in sailing at sea. If you go to sea, you have to keep a logbook so that you can find a route back.

Xu Qing walked around the sea and also had a lot of desire to explore. When I got home, I felt that the dull days were a little boring.

In late May, for Cangzhou, it was the time when "it rained in the Huangmei season, and the grass pond was full of frogs", and the rain for many months locked Xu Qing at home.

Only Xu Qing will be locked in his home by the rain, and the farmers are different. There is a lot of rain and water, and the fields need to be drained, otherwise the rice seeds that have just been planted will be soaked in this heavy rain. Fortunately, there is no big river in Cangzhou, Xu Qing is exempt from a major incident, if he is by the Yellow River, do you think he has the heart to sleep at home?

Even the rain does not know the spring, and the summer is deep when it is sunny.

As soon as the sky cleared, the temperature rose again and again, flying to nearly 30 degrees. It wasn't enough for Xu Qing to take off three pieces of clothes at once, only one and a half arms - that is, the short sleeves were still sweaty.

"Xu Lang~ Your family is peeing again in the autumn, bring your one that is called what is not wet~"

Regarding the child's matter, even if it is a trivial matter like taking a diaper, Xun Xueer never calls people, but shouts to Xu Qing in the air and asks this lazy father to do it.

"Oooh...... Just come, that's called diapers......" Xu Qing jumped down from the rocking chair.

Needless to say, diapers were also made by Xu Qing when he was bored, just sewn together with cotton, cloth and some absorbent things. I made 800 tablets at a time, two tablets a day, and I can use it until next year. The effect is not very good, but fortunately, I don't always have to change clothes and pants, which saves Xun Xueer a lot of trouble.

"Xu Lang, it's very hot this day, why don't you make some chilled bayberry to eat like last year?" Xun Xue'er changed Xu Xiaoqing to a good film, and then said to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was stunned when he heard this, yes, how could he forget this enjoyment!

"Where's the saltpeter at home?" Xu Qing asked.

Xun Xue'er shook her head: "I don't know, I have to ask Xiaoyue to find out ......"

Finding saltpeter, Xu Qing began to make ice. The old way, two copper basins, put water and saltpeter below, put water on the top, saltpeter dissolves in water to absorb heat, and the copper basin above can form ice. The saltpeter was crushed and put in, Xu Qing asked his subordinates to buy ten catties of fresh bayberry over, and brought dozens of small cups as white as slippery jade, the side walls of this small cup were extremely thin, and the ice water could be cold immediately when placed in it. At that time, it was also a very cool enjoyment in the hand.

The bayberry came back, half green and half purple quail eggs, the size of a quail egg, and it made people's tongues tingle when they looked at it. At this time, the water in the copper basin above has already formed a thick ice skin.

Xu Qing cracked the ice skin and smashed it, and scooped it into the small cup with ice water. Then put ten bayberry seeds in each cup.

Put the cup in the copper basin and continue to calm it with the remaining cold air. Tea effort, dozens of chilled bayberry soup will be fine.

The water is well spring water, that is, there is a hint of sweetness when drinking cold white water, plum is organic green plum, a big meat is thick, sweet and sour is appropriate, eat one, the heat is greatly reduced......

The three girls each ate two bowls, Xu Xiaoqing also dipped a little soup, grinned, and gave the rest to the people who couldn't finish eating.

I did a lot more, and it was chilled, and the Huang family, the Thorn Shi Mansion, and the Cangxian County Yali all sent a lot of them. Eating ice in summer, except for the people in Xu Qing's family here in Cangzhou, no one else has ever had it. The Huang family and those who took Xu Qing's bowl of bayberry soup were all grateful, saying that Xu Qing brought divine objects from the sky and shared them with them, but they didn't know that Xu Qing's family was up and down, and even the people who poured night incense also had a bowl of benefits one day.

When Xu Qing cleaned up the family's shop, he deliberately left a few good houses, which came in handy at this time.

Soon, when it was a hot day, his own ice mill came to run it in Cangzhou. In the beginning, there were only three commodities - chilled bayberry, iced honey syrup, and chilled muddy wine. But it was these three cool things that became an instant hit.

Ordinary people can also spend a penny or two to buy honey water to drink, and the slightly wealthier people eat bayberry, and if they love to drink, they can try a cup of ice wine. The weather is hot, and Xuqing's ice shop is even hotter!

opened three stores in a row, but it still couldn't alleviate the congestion at the door. Honey, bayberry, and muddy wine are just ordinary things, but with this summer ice it is even more beautiful. Rare things are precious, and diners from hundreds of miles away also come here to eat this rare thing.

But if they knew that Xu Qing had to put ten pots of ice in his room every day when he slept, I was afraid that he would rush into the Assassin's Mansion to grab it, right?

Xu Qing also opened the ice workshop in the name of someone else, not in his own name. This small ice shop not only brought Xu Qing a large amount of income, allowing him to reduce the number of times he "touched" the treasury of the Assassin Mansion, but also inadvertently promoted the commercial development of Cangzhou. It was a summer when commerce was not very active, and a large number of businessmen came to Cangzhou to buy and sell.

As far as Xu Qing is concerned, except for the first few days of Bingfang, he was still a little excited, and in the end, he felt that it was just money, money, is Xu Qing still less?

So the days are still uneventful......

But this time, Xu Qing's desire to find excitement had a chance to come true. This opportunity made Xu Qing's heart hang.

One day, when Xu Qing was arranging the melon shelf in the field, the messenger of Xu Qi who had been here before came again, this time no longer to bring news of the pirates, but:

"The usurper thief, unite with Goryeo, and the Xi people attack my Bohai! The thieves are in danger of Bohai! ”
