In Kunning Palace, Cuihua was still talking with Queen Gao, drinking tea and eating snacks, very relaxed.

"Niangniang, the courtiers have lived in the village since they were children, and they only know the difficulties of being a daughter-in-law after they get married, and every family in the village is almost the same."

"If the family conditions are better, if the man is more productive and can earn money to support the family, it is all a fragrant glutton, and the daughter-in-law is also a thousand choices."

"However, in such a family, when the daughter-in-law marries, she not only has to do laundry, cook, raise poultry, give birth to children, but also honor her in-laws, and she has no time to be idle all day long."

"If you meet those men who have no talent, who have no skills, and who don't want to contribute, and can't work for a short time, what are you talking about supporting your family?"

"It is even more difficult for the daughter-in-law in the family, in addition to the above housework, she also has to go to the field to grow food, in the summer to cut pigweed, in the winter to go to the firewood, just to earn some copper plate family, so hard but not even enough to eat, but also to leave the good ones for the baby man to eat."

"What's the hardest part? If you can't give birth to a male baby, you don't know if these families want to give birth to a son to inherit the mud house or what? Keep saying that you want to pass on the ancestry! ”

"Mother-in-law and men are so disgusted, beating and scolding are commonplace, and some can even be divorced back to their parents' house, the eldest sister of the courtier's family is like this, even the dowry was withheld, and my eldest sister was driven home, but my family was so angry that I almost didn't burn down his house!"

"What's the most annoying, those days just passed, the money earned a little more, and the flowers and hearts came, maybe one day I will bring you back a sister, how many daughters-in-law can be hard to go home? Remarry can not choose a widower, an old bachelor? ”

"The above is the life of the daughters-in-law in our village, you said, the courtiers have a little ability, how can you not worry about them and give them some way to make money?"

"So, since you started at the oyster sauce mill, you have fully advocated recruiting daughters-in-law!" Empress Gao thought about it and figured out some of Cuihua's actions.

"Yes, the courtiers always think about giving them a chance to make money to support their families, so that their lives are a little better, and they are also hard to make money, and they always have to think about it before the mother-in-law and men beat and scold, right?"

"To put it mildly, even if you can't give birth to a son, earn a little more dowry for your daughter, or save some pension money for yourself, and when you are old, can't you buy a filial son with money?"

The words are not so good, and they are so desperate, but this is the truth, the truth of many years!

"The palace is ashamed, this should be the palace should think of it first, sure enough, the palace has always felt that this day is boring, listen to you talk about the days of these ordinary villagers, why don't you eat minced meat!" Empress Gao sighed.

"Then how can I blame you? It's just that the courtiers are more familiar with them, so, Niangniang, these noodle shops, you bother to support the daughters-in-law of our Great Xia Dynasty! ”

How could the queen refuse such a plea, and carefully discussed with Cuihua where to build a workshop, and to give these work quotas to women who met those conditions.

With something to do, Empress Gao began to get busy again, she didn't have much enthusiasm for the emperor, but now she doesn't even have time to accompany her to eat, so that the new emperor once doubted herself, this queen seems to be a little sulky, what happened to him?

On Dunyu Island, Gao Huaiyu's 10,000 sailors are fluttering in the sea, and most of the recruits he recruited this time are boys from fishing villages, with good water quality, and they have been trained a little bit these days.

"Report, General, news has come from Monkey Island, more than a dozen sea ships are coming in the distance, and they look like Japanese ships!"

"Let's just say that I got this Dunyu Island in my hands, why didn't anyone come to ask for a long time, hehe, Erwazi, your general and I, I have a chance to meet these eight kings!"

"Pass the order, the whole island is on guard, pay attention to concealment, send these eight calves to me ashore, let the brothers get ready for the guys, if this battle is not good-looking, labor and management want you to look good!"

General Gao, who was originally a little elegant, is now developing more and more into a rough man, it is really high and the birds can fly, on this island, no one restricts him, and he has to let himself go.

This time it was Kinoshita Tengjiro, twenty-five years old, who was also a second-generation official in the East and a son of a family of military merits.

They always come to Shield Fish Island to patrol several times a year, and by the way, they also collect some filial piety, everyone still has business dealings, those black slaves are trafficked by them, and these pirates on Shield Fish Island are very rich and willing to spend.

Those dry goods were also prepared for them, and the Japanese people loved to eat seafood, especially dried shield fish, and the quality of this island was the best, and they had to pull a lot of it back every year and sell it to other nobles at a high price.

Because General Gao killed this group of pirates cleanly enough, Kinoshita Tengjiro didn't notice that their back garden had changed, but when he waved the flag, he found that there was a response.

"General, there is no response on the island, these pirates need to be taught a good lesson!" The subordinates are indignant, these pirates want to go to the sky?

"Well, it's possible that they went to work on the west bank, and not long ago they bought a firearm from one of their families, it seems that the fishermen of Great Xia are going to suffer!" Kinoshita Tengjiro forgave these pirates very much, and was happy to see the Great Xia people robbed.

"General, you are too merciful, these pirates are all Great Xia!" The subordinates were puzzled, their general actually let go of this group of people so easily.

"Hey, whether it's a Daxia person or a Dongying person, those who can cooperate are all friends!" He also thought that they had recently sold a lot of black slaves, but he didn't know if Dunyu Island could still eat it.

Kinoshita Tengjiro has been to Shield Fish Island a few times, but he didn't take this group of pirates seriously, and their force value can crush this group of rats.

The emperors of Great Xia were not smart people, and their territory was too big to look down on the islands, so these pirates had multiplied on this island for several generations.

Caught off guard, in such broad daylight, as soon as their ship docked, they ushered in a massacre. Of course, this Kinoshita Tengjiro is not a vegetarian, but he is known as the first samurai in Toei.

On this cruise, he brought more than 3,000 Jingwei, all of whom were people who had seen blood, and soon the Japanese people mastered the situation, and killed the Great Xia Navy in a cold sweat, and encountered hard stubble.

Gao Huaijin also got off the field, he was going to meet the guy who was very powerful with a knife, and the leaders on both sides found each other in the crowd at a glance, and approached each other excitedly.

After dozens of rounds, neither of them got any benefits, Kinoshita Tengjiro's right leg was stabbed, Gao Huaijin's left arm began to bleed, and both began to face up to the strength of their opponents.

In addition to the newly replenished 5,000 naval troops, the old people can also be regarded as growing up on the battlefield in the past few years, and they have produced talents in actual combat, which can be understood by looking at the battle situation gradually pulled back on the battlefield.

The two sides fought for an hour, each wounding more than 2,000 soldiers before stopping, Kinoshita Tengjiro was seriously wounded, and was carried back to the ship by his dead soldiers, leaving three sea ships and escaping with the largest general.

Gao Huaijin was also not lightly injured, the wound on his left arm was boneless, the wound was turned to both sides, and he was also slashed on the back, bleeding too much, his face was as white as a ghost, and the soldiers were about to cry to death.

Several people were busy carrying his general to find the imperial doctor, and a imperial doctor was asked to come to this island, and the queen Gao specially gave her younger brother the benefits, so far away from the island, she was not at ease.

Shangguan Imperial Physician is not old, forty-five years old, and is known for his external injuries to the country, because of the smallpox before the little emperor, the Imperial Hospital suffered heavy losses, and several old imperial doctors and their families were executed.

The Shangguan family is also a royal doctor for several generations, and they feel that the water in this palace is very muddy, so they have the intention of retreating, and this time they met Queen Gao to send someone to ask, so they took advantage of the situation to receive this situation, and wanted to keep their family's highest medical skills.

The Holy Empress Dowager is still alive, who knows, she will go crazy again one day, she can't afford to provoke it, the hospital is dead now. is still waiting for the new emperor, and as many as half of them have returned to their hometowns.

Doctor Shangguan was very calm, this wound looked scary, in fact, it was not that terrible, but the blood loss was a bit too much, and it needed to be replenished.

Gao Huaiyu, who had been treated for his wounds, bared his teeth: Finally, 10,000 people were gathered, why do you have to fix my defects from time to time? He and the Japanese will never die!

The cement official road was on the fast post station in Great Xia, and the news transmission was more than twice as fast as before.

Within a few days, Xia Hongdi received a military report from his brother-in-law: The Japanese attacked the island and killed 2,865 people of our Great Xia Navy, and our army counterattacked, leaving 2,521 enemy leaders.

Xia Hongdi informed him of this at the court meeting, and everyone reacted differently, some were indignant and asked for war and wanted to go to Dongying, some accused Gao Huaiyu of improper command and lost more than 2,000 soldiers, and those who were worried that Dongying would come to declare war, and they were actually afraid of a country of projectiles!

The new emperor ignored these noisy ministers, and was arbitrary, directly increasing his troops by 50,000 on Dunyu Island, and also allocating ten sea ships to General Gao.

In less than a year, the gold mine has sent him more than 50,000 taels of gold, and the salt farm has also exchanged more than 3 million taels of silver, which is not enough for 10,000 navy!

The brother-in-law also hinted that he wanted to send people to check around Dunyu Island, in case, a few more gold mines were excavated, and a few more would be enough to feed the entire Great Xia army.

The most important thing is: if he can't beat a small country, what is the use of his throne? The sea, the island, the future is great!
