Chapter 342: History and Family Affairs
"Before Emperor Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty had been lonely in maintaining his status as a world empire, reserved and conservative, according to the consistent analysis of historians, this empire would disintegrate and decline in such a self-contained." - "World History"
"Originally, on the southern seas of the East Asian continent, various islands lived a rich variety of peoples and groups, and they generally believed in primitive religions.
In the middle and early 16th century, like the blacks of the African continent, they were brutally sold into slavery, either in the manors of the South or in the cold of North Asia.
Eighty percent of the current inhabitants of the Nanyang Islands are Han Chinese, and these people are generally not aborigines, but have immigrated over the past few hundred years. —Ethnicity and Geographical Distribution: The Asian Volume.
"At present, in China's various sports leagues, a large number of athletes living in the five northeastern provinces and regions are full of them, and these people are generally a discriminated minority in society, although their number is less than 1/10,000 of the total population, but their physical fitness is extremely good, and they have performed quite well in various leagues and world sports activities.
The reason is that the aborigines of Lelang Province, the ancient Goryeo people, and the ancient people of Nanyang were taken captive to the estates of the five eastern provinces as slaves, in order to ensure the physical fitness and quality of the slaves, the slave owners adopted the method of treating animals to treat them, that is to say, only the strongest slaves have the opportunity to pass on the ancestry, so that it is not surprising that these minorities will have such physical qualities from generation to generation. —Genetic Research
Jiang Feng didn't think that the future history or everything might change beyond recognition, now in the mansion near Incheon, he has a headache, and now Liu Fangrui and Su Guanyue didn't give him any good looks there, because Jiang Feng said the 'dowry' loudly that day, which made the two ladies quite dissatisfied.
It is normal for Liu Fangrui and Su Guanyue to have a temper in their hearts, when Liu Fangrui and Su Guanyue entered the door, in general, they were not too normal, or it was more ugly, the two of them entered the Jiang Mansion and were similar to the bandit leaders of the cottage who robbed and suppressed Mrs. Zhai.
Especially Liu Fangrui has always been the eldest lady of the family, Jiang Feng is fighting outside, and Su Guanyue is in the prime minister's account, but she has nothing to do, she is in charge of the inner house, Tie Ding and the families of the hunters are already clear, in other words, Jiang Feng is now the master of the party.
His home, oh, it should be called a mansion should also make some rules, the men and women of the lower classes of the Ming Dynasty are not as strict as those who are said in the books, and it is already the so-called open germination period, but it is also somewhat inconvenient for the subordinates to enter Jiang Feng's mansion.
Therefore, Liu Fangrui also used a rather creative method, the Jiang family army and the civil guard, all the orphans and widows who died in battle, shipwrecked and all kinds of things, were placed around the Jiang Mansion, and let them go to the palace to work and get paid to support the family, such a thing can be said to be a great act of kindness, and everyone praises it.
But after the matter is clear, there is nothing to be busy with, Liu Fangrui knows that she is coming to Incheon, if she wants to meet her father Liu Shunhua, it will be difficult, although the father and daughter are a little contradictory to each other on weekdays, but blood is thicker than water, and they still miss it sadly. After coming and going like this, the mood will definitely not be too good, and it is inevitable that you will become more and more depressed.
The high-level of the Jiang family's army, such as Yang Da, for example, Zhao Xiucai, who married a cousin of Zhang Liang, all have some family members who stay in the local area, and these people are either fighting outside, or they are as nervous as Zhao Xiucai for the civil health and raising supplies.
These women may have been ordinary women in the past, but now they are indeed noble women, at least within the scope of Dengzhou, and they naturally get together with each other.
Jiang Feng often talks about trivial things at home, after all, he is now the leader of a party, and it is a little childish to say this at home again, but he doesn't say it, these official women have nothing to talk about, so they naturally discuss the affairs of the men in their families with each other.
That day, Jiang Feng said majestically:
"The dowry is already ready and so on"
It has been widely spread by these long-tongued women, and there are even more good things to come to congratulate, Liu Fangrui and Su Guanyue are now getting along with Xia Cuiyu quite well on weekdays, after all, Xia Cuiyu is also familiar with things, and Jiang Feng is not in the mansion on weekdays, and the relationship between the three women is getting better and better.
But if this is the case, how can the hostess of the family be happy here, after returning home, there was a cold war, and Su Guanxue over there looked at this side and over there at the dinner table, wanting to get close to her brother-in-law, but she didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing for a while.
After eating a few bites of food, Jiang Feng became more and more depressed the more he ate, and couldn't help but put the bowl towards the table, the quiet atmosphere on the table was suddenly broken, Liu Fangrui snorted coldly, simply didn't speak, and made a gourd with a sullen mouth there, Su Guanyue looked at her sister, sighed in her heart, and said faintly:
"Xianggong, my sister and I are sheltered in this family, and watching the snow has always been ......"
Before she finished speaking, the girl over there, Su Guanxue, was already blushing as if it was burning, stretched out her hand and gently shook Su Guanyue's arm, Su Guanyue, who had always been kind to her sister, glanced at Su Guanxue sternly at this time, and Liu Fangrui over there spoke first:
"Guanxue has been with you for so long, who else can you go with besides marrying you, but now you want to marry Cuiyu......"
Su Guanxue, who was barely a big girl, couldn't raise her head on the table, but she still peeked at Jiang Feng over there to see how her brother-in-law coped, Jiang Feng didn't expect to be involved in this kind of problem, she was stunned, and glanced at Su Guanxue who was standing there, the original little girl is now very good, and Su Guanyue beside her has its own merits.
Jiang Feng has never had any ideas about women's rights now, such a good girl, and a girl who is so close to him, is not included in his own room, can he push it out, that is, his brain is broken. When Liu Fangrui said this, he also understood the situation, and immediately laughed, took a glass of rice wine on the side and drank it all, raised his voice and said:
"It's a big deal, I'm married both!"
As soon as these words came out, Su Guanxue over there screamed softly and trotted out, the monopoly of women for men in this era has basically not been formed, and it is still a completely patriarchal society, Jiang Feng's willingness to marry has made the little girl feel extremely surprised, and the rest is no longer considered.
Watching Su Guanxue run out, Su Guanyue and Liu Fangrui looked at each other, thinking that what they thought was going to quarrel at the dinner table would be solved so easily, Jiang Feng over there smiled, but said quite directly there:
"The Xia family has 4,000 people and nearly 200 ships, if I don't have a name, how can I eat this force, I don't want to say such words, now these hundreds of thousands of people are in North Korea, I can't take a step back, I can't let go of an opportunity to strengthen myself!"
Jiang Feng has already confessed here, Liu Fangrui and Su Guanyue over there are a little moved, but the next sentence is quite out of tune, Jiang Feng said with a smile:
"Besides, we Guanxue and Xia Cuiyu are both great beauties, I've been coveting them for a long time!"
This sentence is half true, half ridiculous, but it makes the two women laugh, and the tense atmosphere on the table also disappears, but after a while, because of Jiang Feng's words just now, it aroused Liu Fangrui's homesick thoughts, and she also had no intention of eating, her eyes gradually turned red, and she said with a crying voice:
"I just don't know when I'll see my dad!"
After saying this, Su Guanyue hurriedly went over to comfort her, Jiang Feng was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice:
"It won't take long!"
Of the more than 4,000 people of the Xia family, only 1,000 people came to Incheon, and some of these people were strong soldiers, as well as experienced shipwrights and handles, but the remaining 3,000 people were not together.
Now the rest of the Xia family is on the sea, sailing towards the south of Damen Island, there are Jiang Feng's four 300-ton gunboats there to escort them, this time the leader is Xia Cuiyu's cousin, a middle-aged man named Xia Zhang, Xia Zhang never thought that he actually had such a situation, and actually became the current acting principal of the Xia family, although it is an agent, everything has to be decided by Xia Cuiyu, in fact, Jiang Feng is in charge.
Xia Zhang didn't have any foundation in his heart, just looked at the land that gradually appeared in the distance, and the surrounding ships were already cheering, and finally arrived at the destination, which will be their place of residence for a long time to come, and the land southeast of this gate island has a name - Yizhou.
Linhai County is southeast and goes to the county for 2,000 miles. The land is free of frost and snow, and the plants and trees do not die. There are mountains on all sides, and the mountains are inhabited, and they are for Yizhou.
In the era when Jiang Feng did not cross, Yizhou had a name that everyone was very familiar with: Taiwan......
