Chapter 100 The beginning of the development of the Great Xia Naval Army
The time of a year is long and short.
Gao Huaiyu's knife wound has been recuperating for half a year, and the 50,000 sailors added by his emperor's brother-in-law are now all practiced, all of them are tanned and swarthy, and half of the time is spent in the water every day, and the ability to kill the enemy is not allowed to fall for a day.
The food and grass supplies on the shore are also very timely, they can also grow some melons, fruits and vegetables by themselves, and even piglets are raised, there is no shortage of prey on the island, and seafood is even more featen, and all of them are very good.
In addition to the basic grain, grass and weapons and equipment, after Xia Hongdi became the emperor, the fire gun of the military department was naturally mastered by him, and his father-in-law knew how to advance and retreat, and handed over the military power of Shudi.
The brother-in-law dug for gold and boiled salt for himself on that remote island.
Later, the Japanese attacked, and the brother-in-law was seriously injured, Xia Hongdi was angry and not only gave 50,000 additional troops, ten large sea ships, but also gave the brother-in-law 500 firearms, and in the future, the sea will rely on the brother-in-law to conquer.
Gao Huaijin took his more than 50,000 sailors, and in this year's time, in addition to training troops, he also trained soldiers.
In their spare time, they also searched Dunyu Island and the nearby island groups, and there were no large gold mines, but a few small gold mines and silver mines were found.
They raised the treatment of the black slaves who were mining, gave them enough to eat, and did not beat and scold them at will, and these people did a very good job.
The salt boiling work in the salt works did not stop, and even increased the scale, and the emperor transported more than 1,000 salt boilers from the shore, and the amount of salt produced more than doubled before.
The reason why he didn't stop training for a moment, Gao Huaijin also found some truths: their family has no military power in Shudi, and there are many general headquarters who have fought with their brother-in-law.
On land, their Gao family has no advantage, then, at sea, he must earn a way for the family, a road that no one else can replace.
From time to time, they can also meet some businessmen who do maritime trade, judging from the information pieced together.
In the west, there are still many countries they don't know, and he thinks, perhaps, the navy will be the sharpest weapon in Great Xia in the future.
Therefore, the gold mine and salt are all money and money, and he is not very rare, and he also asked the household department to send people to garrison the gold mine, they do not mix with these accounts, they are the guards of the gold mine!
The Gao family is not rare, it does not mean that others are not rare!
The salt owners of Great Xia are in Jiangnan and Haiyan, but these are basically controlled by the major families, and they will not let outsiders interfere easily, and the royal family has no way to take people.
There is also a production area in Bashu, well salt, which the imperial court can control now, that is, this place, thanks to the emperor who has been in Shu for more than ten years, and the Yue family has military power.
With the continuous transportation of sea salt from Dunyu Island to the shore, the people have affordable official salt to buy.
The salt industry in Jiangnan has also lost its previous toughness, and the articles they have made on the salt tax have not been understood by the imperial court for many years.
Lingnan, on an island in the southernmost part, the head of the Ouyang family is going berserk.
"Amin, what do you think has happened to what you were asked to do before? For more than a year, what is our family about to be suppressed? Yes! If I hadn't watched Wen Po come out of the delivery room with my own eyes, I would have wondered if you were Lao Tzu's seed! ”
"Dad, I was wrong, I didn't expect that those pirates could be all taken up by the imperial court, you say, this imperial court has never fought at sea before, who would have thought that? Until now, my son hasn't figured out what's going on! ”
"Did our nemesis leak it? We must have been the only ones who knew about those firecrackers back then! Moreover, how did the imperial court find the location of this Dunyu Island? How could it be so coincidental? You send it with the front foot, and the back foot is served! ”
"It's... It's not out of the question.... Dad, our salt farm's business has been reduced by five percent this year, this new emperor's appetite is really not small, the official salt has never been broken, and if this continues, our salt will have to be at the same price as the official salt! ”
"Hmph, this Dunyu Island is so big, we can't help them, there is always someone who can take care of them, you are like this..."
The Ouyang family, as a top-notch family, although the eldest prince Ning Wang they supported was defeated in the battle for the throne and went into exile overseas, but the foundation of the family for hundreds of years is not so easy to collapse.
After Xia Hongdi took the throne, all the officials in the Ouyang family who were officials in the court were fired, but they have been in business for so many years, and there are still a lot of dark lines, and the movements of the court can basically be known.
The salt farm is also the most important pillar industry of the Ouyang family, in addition to the salt industry, the Ouyang family also has the most money in the Great Xia Dynasty, and it is said that Uncle Lu's family is a great imperial businessman, but compared to wealth, the Ouyang family is the richest man.
Now, the general environment is also very unfavorable to the richest man.
The head of the Ouyang family had to scold King Ning a hundred times a day, and as for his daughter, Concubine Shu, he would have been an abandoned son of the family for a long time if she was killed.
Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian are still locked up in the temple, and with them, there are also their daughters-in-law, the whole family, neatly organized, except for their sons (men).
Cuihua doesn't know how outrageous their butterflies are, a dynasty with military power on land, just because they are looking for a few people in their family, they are now also beginning to pay attention to the sea, and they have also trained a fierce sailor.
She can't take care of anything, it's the moon again, and her workshop has finished this year's gray noodles, and she is going to prepare for the New Year.
Layue has to make all kinds of preserved New Year's goods, and also give gifts to people who have dealings, in short, it is very busy.
Yuan Lao Er and Yuan Lao San, who had been out for nearly a year, also returned to the capital, and their tasks this year were completed very well.
The toilet workshop in Lingnan, the business is getting more and more money day by day, these two people have successfully completed the task, and now the people sent by the Ministry of Industry are in charge of the errand.
Ma Shi is full of red face these days, shouting, let the kitchen give her sons all kinds of soup and water supplements, there is a kind of thinness that makes your mother think you are thin.
She is even more interested in the daughters-in-law of the Hu family, two of whom are pregnant with the second child, and the other is married on the same day as his family, and her family cannot be left behind.
The birth of Fan Qinghe, the second daughter-in-law, was numb, and she hurt her vitality when she gave birth to three heads, and it didn't take long to make up for it, can she get pregnant?
Sister Yuan's pregnancy was a little difficult, what she ate and vomited, the bile was spit out, Ding Jia was so anxious that she was afraid that she would not be able to take care of Ding Doudou, so she also sent Ding Doudou to Cuihua and asked him to play with the twins.
For this little cousin who is a few months younger than them, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu are very good at being older brothers, and they don't bully Doudou, and are willing to play with him.
As for why you want to hit the three and four heads, people say: Brother is bad, grab cakes, beat brother!
Yuan Damei's morning sickness was finally relieved under Cuihua's sugar garlic, and she could only drink porridge with sugar garlic, and she didn't dare to touch the meat or anything.
Ding Doudou has to hum when he sleeps at night, and he has to find his mother when it's dark, Cuihua has to ask the two eldest children to help, the eldest brother and the second brother tell them stories, what an interesting story!
They had a good time with their two elder brothers during the day, and their aunts cooked good dishes.
The three children ate the same meal for every meal, and Cuihua also served as a referee for them.
"Well, this lunch, Doudou eats the most vegetables, and the rice is also the cleanest, the king of this meal is Doudou, and my aunt rewards Doudou with a small cake, you two don't have it!"
Xiao Wu didn't say anything, hum, he didn't like to eat vegetables, if it weren't for the sake of growing taller, he could only eat meat and eggs.
Xiaoliu is unhappy, he doesn't like to eat vegetables as much as his brother, but, compared to meat, vegetables are still not so delicious, he can't compare to Doudou, woo, there is no small cake, unhappy.
Ding Doudou smiled and squinted, biting the small cake with his little teeth, eating it fragrantly, he just ate so many vegetables in order to get his aunt's reward, hehe, he didn't like vegetables so much.
Cuihua can't see the expressions of a few children, it's really a meal, and she has to fight wits and courage with them!
The edible vegetables in Daxia are not as abundant as in later generations, and the common ones are:
Cabbage, bean sprouts, mustard greens, lettuce, cucumbers, winter melons, leeks, eggplants, radish, lotus roots, gourds, bracken, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and dozens of other species.
In order to let these bear children eat more vegetables, Cuihua can only often smuggle into the space vegetables.
Because the dishes in the space are too watery, they are very different from Daxia's at first glance, and on weekdays, Heiwa has a very strict control over her.
She had to change the appearance of the vegetables a little, the eggplant box and lotus root clamp needed to be arranged, but she didn't dare to give them more to eat when they were fried.
People are tired of eating boiling water cabbage hearts, for winter melon and radish, even if it is a space dish, the taste is sweeter, but the original taste of the dish is still there.
The pea tip is so delicious, they reject it very much, Xiao Wu closed his mouth directly: "The taste, it's not good, don't eat it!" ”
Xiao Liu exclaimed: "Green, green, weird!" ”
Ding Doudou has the same example: "It's not delicious, it's not delicious!" ”
What about chopping cabbage into fine pieces and adding minced meat to wrap them into dumplings? How about cutting lotus root into small steamed pork patties?
That's still okay, because it still tastes like meat!
Heiwa didn't have the patience: "If you don't eat well, then your father will take you to Zhuangzi and let you go to other children's houses for a few meals, and see if you are still picky eaters!" ”
If it weren't for the fact that these boys were too young, their father would have sent them to the village.
The big head and the second head looked at Zhile, they ate most of the time in the front yard, and Mr. Fan, Xiao Chuan, Xiao Shan, and a few of them, also made nutritious meals in the small kitchen.
Aunt Qiu played her role in this autumn and winter season, and a lot of medicinal food was made, and Old Man Fan was very happy to eat, he had to eat medicinal food well and live a long life.
The little niece and granddaughter in the family has also learned well now, but he can see it, even if he can't marry Yuan Fu in the end, the skills he has learned are not fake.
In the future, people will talk about it, this is a few girls who came out of the palace and raised in front of the grandmothers, noble and noble, they can also climb, well, I want to write a letter and talk to my brother...
