Chapter 142: Fighting for Every Inch of the Sea
Zhu Changhao did not go out of his flagship to meet with the three sects and nine streams in Nanjing City, he just saw through the small window of the cabin the praise of the people on the riverside for this sailor, and the resentment of the Jinling sailor next to him. "Co*music*words*love*first*hair(http://www.klxsw.com

In the eyes of the Jinling Sailors, they are now in the entire Sailors, there is not a single building boat, the wheels are three or four, I can't imagine that this Rui Wangye's sailors, there are three building boats, there are forty-two wheels, and there are Canghai boats and Cangshan boats.
This is simply a slap in the face for the Jinling sailors of the imperial court.
In the crowd by the river, a person with a scarf on his head and a talented appearance said to a fellow of the same year, "The nephew of my brother-in-law and second cousin said that the sailor who came to Jinling this time was from the prince of Hanzhongrui, do you know who the chief officer of this sailor is?" ”
"What, Lord Rui has a chief military officer under him, which is against the rules. But who the hell is that? ”
"It's a hundred households before our Jinling Water Division, but his brother's name is Yu Zhigao, the chief military officer of Fujian. He is the youngest son of Yu Laoshuai, and now he is the chief officer of the First Army of the Water Division. ”
"Brother Nian, don't sell Guanzi, tell me quickly, his name and surname?"
"It's Yu Kaiyi of our Jinling Water Division."
"Oh, it's him, it's the elm pimple who always told our Jinling town guard to train the troops?"
"Yes, at that time, our Jinling Sailor Chen Ping had been for a long time, just this elm pimple, always had to train soldiers, always asked for military salaries, and the town guard made the adults have a headache every time they saw him, and later, they directly found a reason to reduce him from 1,000 households to 100 households. Alas, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there was an elder brother who was the chief soldier covering him, it is estimated that this elm pimple might have been removed. ”
"Yes, in fact, the entire Jinling Navy Master knows that this surnamed Yu really has two sons, but no one dares to say that now under the control of King Rui, he has become a general soldier, and he is also making the best use of his talents."
The two Xiucai are confiding in each other, and I don't know where the seven aunts and eight aunts heard the news exchange confirmed. Zhu Changhao on the boat did not get off the ship at all, and he was now listening to Yu Kaiyi's report on the replenishment of the sailors.
After listening to this, Zhu Changhao said, "Tomorrow morning, pull the anchor." ”
Xu Fu beside her had already recovered, and when she heard the people around her say that she had arrived in Jinling now, her face became complicated.
Everyone knows that Jinling is the Jianghuai area of the Ming Dynasty, and even in the southern land of the Ming Dynasty, the concentration area of fireworks venues, since ancient times, there is a saying that "the Qinhuai River in the sound of oars and lights, and the ten-mile joy field, drunk gold fans".
Behind the Qinhuai River is Yangzhou, the capital of salt merchants in the world.
Since the Zhengde years, some salt merchants in Yangzhou, because there is no place to spend money, they have fallen in love with a kind of entertainment, called pampering "Yangzhou thin horses", which is not to say that Yangzhou people like to raise horses and raise thin horses, but to pet and buy some thin women from poor families.
It is said that the popularity of this "thin horse" is closely related to the economic development of Yangzhou, and a group of rich salt merchants have appeared in Yangzhou. In the city of Yangzhou, there is a bustling commotion, singing and dancing. Rich people always like some weird and perverted consumption and aesthetics, in their interest in "breast fat. After the aesthetic fatigue of the buttocks, the "thin horse" was born.
This Yangzhou thin horse, is a large number of people engaged in this business, first funded to buy back the good-looking girls in poor families and then practice, teach them singing and dancing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and sell them to the rich as concubines or enter the Qinlou Chu Pavilion after they grow up, so as to make a profit.
Because the poor girls are so thin, the name "thin horse" comes from this. When he first bought a virgin, he only paid a dozen yuan, but when he got married, he could earn as much as 1,500 taels. So so
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) the people see profitable, compete to imitate, the atmosphere, the Ming Dynasty Yangzhou salt merchants monopolized the country's salt industry, the waist is full of thousands of dollars, rich in the world, so in the country at that time, Yangzhou "raising thin horses" wind is the most prosperous.
There is a very strict identification process for the selection of thin horses, and the most important thing for merchants is the evaluation of the small feet of thin horses. There is also a set of extremely detailed methods for identifying this "three-inch golden lotus", and people have also formulated seven standards for this purpose: "thin, small, pointed, curved, fragrant, soft, and positive".
Not to mention the skinny horses who were chosen by the master's family, the situation of the skinny horses who were not selected was even more miserable. They were homeless and sold into Fengyue Establishment.
Every evening, they apply grease and powder, dress up bewitching, enter and exit the alley, wander in front of the teahouse restaurant, called "standing off", under the moon in front of the lamp, the face is pale, and there is no one in the face.
Some of these poor thin horses who "stood at the gate" could not find their customers until night. In the end, he departed. Zhang Dai wrote: At night, I had to go, quietly and secretly like a ghost. Seeing the old bustard, starving, and flogging, it is not known.
Most of the thin horses are the ones who cultivate slender little beauties and sell them as the favorite concubines and beautiful maids of the rich families, and they enjoy all the wealth before the color decays, and those who are unlucky are killed by the wives of the big families, thrown into the well and even reduced to the warbler.
The final destination of the thin horse is the ten-mile Qinhuai River.
Xu Fu remembered his little sisters in the same period, when Ya Po bought them from their parents, and after training, they couldn't sell them, and finally ended up in Yanjie Willow Lane, lonely all their lives, and they were lucky and still alive.
After Zhu Changhao wrote about basic chemistry and physics for a while, he saw that Xu Fu's smile beside him was a little reluctant, and asked with concern, "Fufu, what's wrong, your face is so ugly!" ”
"Lord Wang, the concubine has thought of a way for the Red Powder Organization to grow vigorously."
"Oh, tell me about the king."
Next, Xu Fu gave Zhu Changhao an explanation of his situation about the "Yangzhou Thin Horse", and then explained, "Lord Wang, I want to buy those little girls who are hungry, whipped, and devastated after losing the election.
Because they have endured the upheaval of the world, humiliation and abuse, the slave family estimates that once they join the Red Powder Organization, they will definitely be more attentive and resolute in collecting information for the prince. ”
After hearing Xu Fu say this, Zhu Changhao pondered for a while and said, "Well, it seems that the head of the lonely king is very useful, then Cheng, when the king gets off the boat to Yangzhou, let the shopkeeper of the royal house in Yangzhou take care of this matter!" ”
"Thank you, the slave family will thank the prince for those little girls."
Xu Fu heard that the prince agreed to his request, and his heart suddenly brightened a lot.
Zhu Changhao's evil taste also narrowed, and he said to Xu Fu with that dirty expression, "Fufu, I don't know if you want to thank this king?" As he spoke, he used his boar-looking sow gaze to scan Xu Fu's figure from top to bottom.
Xu Fu is very clear about this kind of gaze, but when he thinks of the "talented" physique of the prince, and besides, his position has not yet been restored, he is suddenly afraid!
"Lord Wang, just let the slave family go this time, the slave family hurts. Let the slave family slowly! Xu Fu cried, and said to Zhu Changhao pitifully.
As a good prince with the most advanced ideas in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Changhao's advantage in becoming big is that he doesn't want to see his beloved woman cry the most.
"Whisking, it's the king's fault, wait until your body is better." Zhu Changhao said with affection in his eyes.
At night, the slightest autumn rain fell on the river, and from the height of the boat, Zhu Changhao saw the lanterns flowing on the Qinhuai River, faintly
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) There is a sound of silk bamboo orchestra coming from the ground.
Let the rain fall, after watching it for a while, Zhu Changhao sighed secretly in his heart, "If this king is an idle prince and does not interfere in the wheel of history, after seventeen years, the iron cavalry of Liaodong will step on the Central Plains, and the lives of the southern country will be ruined. ”
Zhu Changhao, who let the autumn rain wet Luo's shirt, remained motionless, and under the wind lamp, an oiled paper fan quietly propped up on Zhu Changhao's head.
With the oil-paper umbrella on his head, Zhu Changhao suddenly said in his heart, "People say that it is easy to find a red face, but it is difficult to find a confidant." Now that Xu Fu is giving the king an umbrella, how can he have a feeling of confidant! ”
That night, Zhu Changhao didn't have a little ** affection, and gently slept with Xu Fu.
Early the next morning, after leaving Nanjing, he passed through Qixia Mountain, Yudai Town, Yizheng County, and arrived at Zhenjiang all the way.
Wang Baisui rushed to Zhenjiang overnight, and in front of Xu Fu, Zhu Changhao arranged for him to buy the unsuccessful "Yangzhou Thin Horse".
Xu Fu was moved on the side, but in the end, Zhu Changhao added to Wang Baisui, "We must let these thin horses endure the greatest tribulation and shame before buying, after all, there is a saying that 'without a cold bone, how to get the plum blossom fragrance', without going through a tribulation and shame, it will not help the king's career!" ”
Xu Fu heard what Zhu Changhao said to Wang Baisui at the end, and she felt very uncomfortable, but after thinking about it again, she understood that Hongfan, the intelligence yamen, was in danger of life. If the little girls go through this ordeal more, they must have an extra layer of protection for their lives.
From Zhenjiang, it is Yangzhong County, then Jiangyin, Nantong, and then through the boundary of Suzhou, it is Shanghai County.
It is said that this Shanghai County is Xu Guangqi's hometown, and Zhu Changhao wants to appreciate it, but in addition to the low thatched houses on the river beach, it is the shacks of some weavers on the village road.
Speaking of the boundary of Songjiang Prefecture, the textile and light industry is at this level of development, and Zhu Changhao also understood at once, this is the so-called "germ of capitalism" in the history books.
Coming out of Shanghai County along the Yangtze River waterway, you can see that in the middle of the Yangtze River estuary, there is a ribbon-shaped water sandbar.
Yu Kaiyi, who was beside him, saw that the prince was looking at this sandbar, and reminded on the side, "Lord, this sandbar, you see the lush greenery on it, the locals call it Chongming Island." Now on the island, there are just some bitter people. ”
Zhu Changhao suddenly realized that Chongming Island, which is famous in the 21st century, has not yet made a mark?
The ship went out of the mouth of the Yangtze River, and Zhu Changhao's Fubo sailor went to sea from the north of Chongming Island.
In the Yangtze River Delta at the beginning of October, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the autumn was high and cool, and the seagulls on the seashore swept over the warships again and again.
Zhu Changhao saw the place where the sea and the sky met in the distance, and said to Yu Kaiyi, "Everyone, look into the distance, this is the blue land of the Ming Dynasty, don't forget the sailor."
Lu Shi has the ambition to expand the territory, and you sailors must also remember that every inch of the sea must be fought for, and not an inch of my Ming Dynasty's sea frontier is superfluous.
This king hopes that you will be able to go out more, on the other side of the sea, expand a large number of "ownerless" land, one day, the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty is planted in those ownerless land, that is, open up the sea frontier, expand the sea for thousands of miles, when the time comes, do the net for you to please seal the prince! ”
