How dare this girl say it!

Until the founding of New China, there were not many cases of women going to sea, let alone the era when feudal superstition was prevalent.

The ship that goes to sea has to sacrifice to the sea dragon king before going to sea, and it is generally believed that women are filthy, just because women have so many days every month, and when they bleed, they are even more unlucky, which will make the dragon king angry......

Although Shen Yue also knew that everything was nonsense, the navigation technology of this era and people's lack of understanding of the marine environment caused by the fact that if a woman was found on any boat, no one else would get on the boat.

"Do you, like everyone else, think that a woman on board brings bad luck? Will it make the Dragon Lord angry? Xu Jiao saw Shen Yue's expression serious, and her face also became sad.

In this era, there are really not many things that women can do.

Before getting married, he was not allowed to show his face, learn female celebrity in his own show building, and then find a good family to marry, wait for his husband to return at home every day, and usually take care of his children at home......

"It's not!" Shen Yue looked at Xu Jiao's lonely face, and his heart hurt for no reason.

Women are the biggest victims of this era, he has not been in this era for a long time, but he has deeply understood the essence of the times.

The cheap old lady is so shrewd, her father is gone, and she can't maintain the Shen family; Yue'er is smart, for the continuation of the Shen family, regardless of the woman's reserve, she took the initiative to go to Shen Yue's bed, she knew that once Shen Yue couldn't come back at sea, what kind of fate she would face. And Xu Jiao in front of her is the same.

Perhaps, the previous deity fooled her in order to gain her favor, such a woman is very easy to fool, because she is different from this era, marrying into other families, and in the end she can only be suppressed and depressed.

"At present, the ship has not arrived, and there are many things that need to be prepared, and other things will be talked about later." Shen Yue was reluctant to answer this question at this time.

"I can convince my father to lend you all the ships in Longshan, even the sergeants of Longshan!" Xu Jiao gritted her teeth and said, "My father has no children under his knees, the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law are scholars, it is impossible to inherit the official position of the deputy Qianhu of Longshan, you have no fame, you can inherit it!" Moreover, I have a hundred elite soldiers in my hands......"

Shen Yue's eyes lit up.

The Daming guard system, the officers below the command room of the guard, are all hereditary.

It is precisely because of this that in the end, middle and low-level officers can plunder the world of their military households and become landlords, and deduct the food and salary of military households, so that a large number of military households can flee, and the officers and soldiers of the guard can eat empty salaries, which eventually caused the collapse of the guard system and buried the hundreds of years of foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

Fooling Xu Jiao away, Shen Yue's mind was churning, if this is the case, many things will be easier to do.

Longshan Institute was originally a stronghold established by General Qi Jiguang during the anti-Japanese period, a thousand households, the scale is not small, compared to Guanhaiwei Town, the scale is naturally incomparable, especially due to the escape of military households, the entire guard office looks dilapidated, when he arrived yesterday, Shen Yue did not have time to take a good look, got up early this morning, came out of his small courtyard, and found that the surrounding area was desolate.

Only a few of the dilapidated houses in the vicinity emitted a few wisps of smoke.

The occasional person is unkempt, tattered, numb in face, and dull in his eyes.

Shen Yue, this is the first time to see the life of the people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty.

"Young master, these are the military households of the Longshan Institute, except for the families of the officers of the guards, the low-level soldiers are not well paid, and many of the young and strong have run away, leaving these old, weak, sick and disabled people who have nowhere to go, and they have to do all kinds of things for the officers' families......" Shen Jiu couldn't help but say when he saw Shen Yue looking at the entire dilapidated guard.

"We relied on these people for protection?" Shen Yue's heart seemed to be blocked by something, and he panicked.

"No, the guards, they belong to the imperial court. Running away as soon as there is a war will not protect the safety of the military attaché, so once there is a war, the officials of the guard station will have to rely on their families......" Shen Jiu seemed to know a lot about these things. "Their family members can be said to be their private soldiers, and their food and salary are all distributed by military attachés. The imperial court fought with Jiannu in the northeast, and most of the war was also undertaken by recruiting soldiers, not the guards of the nine sides. ”

Shen Yue knew that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the guard system had existed in name only.

The imperial court fought wars by recruiting soldiers.

Whether it is Mao Wenlong or Yuan Chonghuan, they are all relying on recruiting troops to resist wild boar skin.

These recruits, killing a Tartar, can get a lot of rewards, so the combat effectiveness is extremely high, and in the end, the more wild boar skins are killed, the stronger they become, there are too many inside stories in this.

However, none of this made Shen Yue curious, what he was curious about was Shen Jiu, an ordinary long-term follower of the Shen Mansion, who was almost the same age as his own deity, and he usually messed around with him, how could he know these things?

"Young master, is there something wrong with the villain's face?" Shen Yue's eyes made Shen Jiu's heart furious.

"How do you know that?" Shen Yue asked.

He didn't use a commanding tone, nor did he use anything else, he just asked curiously, if Shen Jiu didn't say it, he wouldn't force it.

Hearing this, Shen Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, his face became relaxed, and he said proudly, "These are all said by Mr. Big. ”

"What's the origin of this big man?" Shen Yue has never been able to understand why Shen Da has such a high status in the Shen family.

According to what he understood, Shen Da came to the Shen family after being saved by his cheap father.

"I don't know the specifics, but Mr. Big was brought back when the master first went out to do business......" Shen Jiu didn't know either.

This Mr. Shen really has a background.

Shen Yue paid attention to it, to see what opportunity he could find to take out Shen Da's old bottom, and walked around outside, seeing that the people in the Shen Mansion had already been settled, he had to admire the ability of people in this era to adapt to the environment.

There weren't many people I met along the way, but most of them had sallow faces and numb expressions, which made Shen Yue panic.

Where did he see such a situation in his time?

Although most people are slaves of all kinds and have great pressure to survive, they do not see such a scene of decline.

After going home for breakfast, Shen Yue said goodbye to the cheap old lady and prepared to go to Wujiawan, which was more than ten miles away, to get the sea boat that the Zhang family promised him to the wharf of Longshan.

Just as he was about to go out, he heard someone outside begging to see him, saying that a foreign housekeeper of the Zhang family had sent the boat over and asked Young Master Shen Yue to receive it.

Shen Yue immediately took Shen Qi and Shen Jiu out with the steward, and saw a huge sea ship from a distance, and before he could get excited, his whole person became bad, because he reached the edge of the dock and saw the ship clearly.

"Steward Zhang, are you sure this ship can go to sea?" Shen Yue gasped, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and questioned the person who came from Zhang's mansion to deliver the boat.
