Chapter 101 Initial Construction of Yantian, Urgent Matters.
According to the temperament of the last days, Xia Jing wanted to take off her shoes directly and go down to gather these kelps in person, but in this era, the rules for women are almost harsh, and in front of so many guards, the maids and sons around her will not give her the opportunity to go into battle barefoot.
Xia Jing also thought about it, since she couldn't go down in person, let the guards do it for her.
He commanded them to be merciless, and commanded them to turn around.
"Don't rip it off in the middle, pick it all up."
"Hey, you, that's you, spread these kelps on the grass to dry, and we'll put them away when we go back in the afternoon."
The intertidal zone is very abundant, and when there is no high tide, the guards are quickly pushed to the shore.
"Mother, what is the purpose of these grasses in the sea? Can you eat it? Lee Seung-mu felt that the slippery seaweed was a little disgusting.
"Of course you can eat it." Xia Jing noticed Li Chengmu's disgusted eyes, and smiled maliciously: "Don't look at it as inconspicuous, it's actually delicious, and you used to like it." ”
"I'm going to love eating these things, don't be kidding, Princess." Li Chengmu frowned tightly, obviously disgusted.
When Xia Jing heard this, she raised her eyebrows, "In the past, whenever the fire was on, the kitchen would boil kombu bone broth for you to drink, but at that time, you didn't eat less, and you shouted that it was delicious, but at that time, it was a pity that kombu was medicine and you couldn't eat more." ”
"Khumbu?!"
Lee Seungmu pointed to the kelp spread on the weeds, "You said this is kombu?" ”
"yes, so don't look disgusted." Xia Jing smiled unkindly and patted him on the shoulder.
Lee Seung-mu: "."
As the guards passed by him with their kelp in their arms, a smell of the sea came to his face, and his brow furrowed before he unfolded.
But thinking that these are kombu, I can barely accept it in my heart.
Xia Jing found that there was a bag bulging in many places on the beach, and she used a stick to pry open one, and inside was a cat's eye snail.
She called a guard and asked him to carry a basket to pick up cat's eye snails, clams, etc., and the guards in the distance caught crabs, prawns, and fish in the puddle, which should have a good harvest, and the cheers of excitement never stopped.
Xia Jing was also tickled by their cheers, and wanted to go down to experience the fun of catching crabs and shrimps in person.
In ancient times, many undeveloped beaches were still rich in seafood, and if these were placed in the last days, they could be sold for sky-high prices.
It's a pity that the abundant sea resources here can't be used well, and they can't be sold in the last days.
The sun slowly rose, and so did the tide.
Everyone had a good harvest, blue crabs, red carapaces, orchid crabs, and prawns were caught, as well as some squid, pomfret and some snail mussels and so on.
Untouched beach, seafood is really abundant.
Back in Linhai Town, he handed these over to the cooks brought from the palace, and at noon the master and servant ate a seafood feast together.
Seafood may be tiresome for fishermen by the sea, but for those who live inland, it's simply delicious.
After the meal, sitting in the hall of the inn, the guards were shy and satisfied.
Ding Dazhuang rubbed his stomach and said, "Princess, this seafood is really delicious, if you can eat these seafood every day, let your subordinates live by the sea willingly." ”
"Captain Ding is right, if there is seafood to pick up every time the tide is low, then you can basically eat delicious seafood every day."
"I also feel that living by the sea is really happy, which is something I couldn't have imagined before."
Think about the people who fled all the way to the famine, how many of the old, weak and young in the village fell down and never got up again, they were lucky to be able to walk to Lingnan alive and eat such delicious seafood.
Xia Jing glanced at the buckets of rice on the table at the kitchen door, and now they were all consumed, of course, it was impossible for a thousand guards to live in this inn.
What should I do if I can't live?
Of course, I set up a tent in the backyard.
"Do you really think seafood is delicious? Want to live by the sea and eat every day? ”
Everyone else heckled, "Of course! ”
Xia Jing stood up, smiled and waved her hand to make everyone quiet.
When everyone quieted down, she cleared her throat, "Ahem, since everyone is looking forward to living by the sea, then this concubine will fulfill you." ”
"It just so happens that Concubine Ben is going to build a salt pan by the sea, and someone has to be responsible for this."
The others in the hall heard the words and whispered.
"Yantian? Is it my understanding that salt can still be grown in the fields? ”
"I don't know, the princess must have a reason for saying this."
"Now that the price of salt in the world is already high, if the princess can grow salt, then won't we send it?"
"What did we send? It should be the princess who sent it! ”
"Isn't the princess sending it, but now we are one with the princess."
"Everyone, be quiet!" Ding Dazhuang looked at the chaotic hall and yelled loudly.
This loud voice
Xia Jing rubbed her buzzing ears.
The hall fell silent, Ding Dazhuang turned around and squeezed out a smile, "Princess, please continue." ”
Xia Jing bowed, "As for how to build the salt field, there will be detailed guidance here at that time, this matter is very important to Lingnan and for us, and it can be said that this will be the pillar industry of Lingnan in the future."
The importance of it, I don't need to say much about it, I believe everyone can understand it.
Since everyone wants to live by the sea, and it doesn't take more than 1,000 people to build salt, then we can only adopt a shift system, and the salt pans need to be stationed in two squadrons all year round, and then the number of people will be increased depending on the scale.
The shift system changes every three months, and the first squadron stationed here Benfei decided to let Fang Ji and Hong Fu lead two squadrons to stay here for the time being, taking charge of all things related to the construction and production of the salt pan. ”
After the Yantian was put into use, all affairs were directly reported to her, and the Wangfu's half of the shares were only dividends, and they had no decision-making power over all the affairs of the Yantian and did not participate in the management.
As soon as the words fell, everyone cast envious glances at Fang Ji and Hong Fu.
Dude, how happy it is to be able to eat seafood often in the coming days!
No matter how hot Fang Ji's eyes were, he sat there straight, the expression on his face was still cold, and there was no expression.
Hong Fu is completely different from his temperament, he is always smiling at everyone.
Everyone cast envious eyes, and he smiled back, polite and graceful.
Xia Jing was quite satisfied with the ten squadron leaders she selected, and it remains to be seen who she will choose as the captain of her personal guard.
In the afternoon, Xia Jing sent people to the fishing village to buy a batch of dried seafood, and she recorded some precautions for building the salt pan and handed them to Fang Ji.
The next day, Xia Jing left Linhai Town with the remaining eight hundred guards.
The Mu family followed into Fucheng together, and it was a few days after the family settled down.
After Wu Yuli settled down at home, she didn't have time to rest for a few days, and when she slowed down her physical exhaustion, she brought a gift for her daughter to accompany her to visit the mansion.
handed over the prayer post, and was told that Princess Qian was not in the house, but went out to run errands.
Wu Yuli wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "The princess has only been in Lingnan for a few days, she is delicate and expensive, and her body has not yet been raised, why did she go out again?" ”
Zeng Yan glanced at the mother and daughter, and followed their team to the Mu family in Lingnan.
"My princess has her own considerations when she goes out to do errands, and how can I and other slaves have room for the master's beak."
Saying that, Zeng Yan smiled: "If you have something to do with the princess, wait for the princess to come back in a few days to visit?" ”
Wu Yuli sighed regretfully, "Now it can only be like this." ”
Zeng Yan always maintained a smile on his face, watching their master and servant walk back with gifts.
This Mrs. Mu said that she grew up with the princess since childhood, but along the way, his eyes were like mirrors, and he could see that her relationship with her own princess was not as close as she said.
Mu Guangzhen has been here for a few days, but he can't stand the climate in Lingnan, it's too hot.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her handkerchief, and noticed the two-headed horse running quickly in the distance.
She dragged Wu Yuli, who was about to get into the carriage, "Mother, do you see if the king is coming in front?" ”
Wu Yuli paused when she got into the carriage, stopped and watched, "It's really the prince's double-headed carriage." ”
As she spoke, she quickly tidied up her appearance and clothes, "Zhen'er, come with me to ask the prince for peace." ”
Mu Guangzhen was a little reluctant in her heart, the image of the prince was too bad, and she felt spicy when she looked at him more.
But no matter how reluctant I am in my heart, who calls someone a noble person, and in the end I have to honestly come forward to salute.
King Qian just drove down the king, and saw a mother and daughter saluting him, and he looked at the two gentlemen behind him, who is this?
Mr. Zhang winked at him.
King Qian raised his hand: "No courtesy." ”
After passing the mother and daughter of the Mu family and entering the mansion, King Qian spoke: "Who was the mother and daughter just now?" The accent that listens to them should not be native to Lingnan Province. ”
Mr. Zhang smiled helplessly: "Lord Wang, they are from the Mu clan in Jingzhou, and they came to Lingnan with our team, I heard that this mother and daughter are familiar with the princess, especially the mother, who has known the princess since childhood. ”
"Oh!" King Qian became interested, "I have known the princess since I was a child, why hasn't this king seen her before?" ”
The corners of Mr. Zhang's mouth twitched slightly, how could he, a courtier, know about what happened when you were young?
At the mention of the princess, King Qian finally reacted and asked, "It seems that I haven't seen the princess for a few days, where has she gone?" ”
Mr. Zhang looked at Zeng Yan who followed up behind him, "Steward Yan should know this better than his subordinates." ”
King Qian stopped and turned to look at Zeng Yan.
Zeng Yan wiped the sweat on his face, bowed his head and replied: "The princess took the fifth master and the guards out of the city two days ago and went to the south, she didn't tell the old slave where she went. However, the old slave looked at the excitement of the fifth master and guessed that they should have gone to see the sea. ”
"It really doesn't stop for a moment, what's so beautiful about the sea? It's okay to find trouble! ”
King Qian snorted coldly and threw away his sleeves.
Zeng Yan and the two gentlemen glanced at each other, and finally Mr. Zhang hurriedly chased after him, "Lord Wang, the princess and the fifth master have been going for a few days, I don't know if there is any danger outside, when will they come back?" ”
Before they arrived at the door of the study, a small servant had already opened the door for them.
King Qian entered the study, sat down in front of the bookcase, took the wet towel handed by the maid and wiped his face and neck.
waited for someone to refresh before he spoke: "It's useless if you're worried, they've been having fun for a long time, how can you remember that you're worried about them." ”
"I heard that bandits are rampant in Lingnan, and I don't know if the princess and the fifth master will encounter danger on this trip. When we arrived in Lingnan, all affairs have not been sorted out, and it is really not appropriate to go out at this time, after all, the outside world has begun to be chaotic. ”
"The world is not as serious as you say, what do you want to say?"
King Qian stared at Mr. Zhang for a moment.
Mr. Zhang looked calm and stroked his beard, "Lingnan bandits are rampant, it is a trouble and an opportunity, and now we are financially tight, and Lingnan is your fiefdom." Lord, should we do something? ”
King Qian's face darkened: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't you know that this king hates you the most about talking and leaving half of your temperament?" ”
"Yes!" Mr. Zhang chuckled: "Since we are financially constrained, why don't you send the guard battalion to go around these bandits' dens?" Maybe the bandits will give us a lot of gifts in return when they are happy. If so, we will be able to solve our difficulties. ”
When King Qian heard this, he laughed: "Mr. is really a wonderful person!" This king thinks that you should not be a courtier, but a knight who robs the rich and helps the poor! ”
Mr. Zhang hehe Zhile, "It's a pity that the old man is already a lot older, if he is ten years younger, Weichen may really go to the end of the world with a sword and return to the addiction of a chivalrous man." ”
King Qian hesitated for a moment, thought for a while and then asked another question, "Things always have to be prioritized, what do you think we should be busy with at the moment?" ”
Mr. Zhang sighed in his heart, to say that the prince can be really mediocre.
In front of the same situation, the princess can always think of a solution at the first time, but the prince needs him to remind him several times before he can react.
"At present, the most important thing is money, and we must have money to maintain the daily operation of our yamen. The second is to expand the cultivated area, which is the right time to open up the wasteland, and when the land is cleared, it can catch up with the autumn planting. Another point is the expansion of the army, the situation in the world is changing rapidly, if you want to survive in the changes in the situation in the world, you must have enough armed forces to protect yourself. ”
As he spoke, Mr. Zhang paused, "If Weichen guessed correctly, the princess has already acted one step ahead of us." ”
King Qian was stunned and said in disbelief: "She has already acted? Do you know what she's doing? ”
"I guessed a little, according to the princess's temperament, there is no need for her to go out of the city, if she goes out of the city and has not returned for a few days, Weichen thinks that she probably went to solve the food and grass of her personal guards."
In such a short period of time, the most effective way to solve the grain and grass of 1,000 people is to suppress the bandits.
Because only the golden and silver eggs in the bandits' den can temporarily meet the needs of the princess's personal guards.
I just don't know how the princess gained this time?
"How to fix it?" King Qian was curious.
"Probably with her personal guards."
Before Mr. Zhang finished speaking, Zeng Yan's cheerful voice came from outside the door.
"The prince, the princess, the princess and the prince are back! They're back! ”
King Qian was overjoyed in his heart, and his butt was slightly away from the chair and he wanted to stand up, but when he thought that the woman was taking Xiao Wu and saying goodbye, he sat back angrily.
Mr. Zhang couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Lord Wang, the princess is back, you want to know how the princess solved the problem of food and grass for the guards, you can ask her directly, and she will definitely know everything." ”
