"Tsk, Wang Banban, where did you buy the salted fish, it tastes good.

But—you can't give this king three days of salted fish in a row, this king is about to eat salted fish! ”

Sitting at the dinner table, I saw the most beautiful plate of cubs in today's dishes - pan-fried salted fish!

Zhao Jun felt a twitch in his stomach.

Three days!

Ever since he told Wang Huaien three days ago that he wanted to eat fish, this damn bastard actually let him eat salted fish for three days in a row!

All of a sudden, he was about to vomit when he smelled the salted fish now!

Wang Huaien, who was respectfully standing aside, said with a look of grievance when he heard this: "Lord Wang, didn't you say that you want to eat fish?" The slave ran all over Yunzhou City before finding the salted fish sold in a dry goods store.

But the owner of the shop said that the business of the shop was not good, and it was going to close the door and return to the gate, and the salted fish would either be sold or not sold, and the slave and maid could only finish all the salted fish in his shop. ”

"But, even if you finish wrapping, you can make a meal for this king from time to time, there is no need to eat it for three days in a row, right!?" Zhao Jun said speechlessly.

"I see that you are quite happy to eat, and I think you love to eat every time you eat it all, so I specially let the kitchen make it for you every day." Wang Huaien muttered quietly.

When Zhao Jun heard this, he suddenly had a black question mark face!

Co-authored, is this still my pot?

I just don't want to waste it, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to eat it every day, and besides, you can't stand it even if you eat it every day!

Waving his hand helplessly, Zhao Jun was convinced of Wang Huaien's elm head, so he had to say:

"Okay, okay, from today onwards, without the king's instructions, no longer be allowed to make salted fish for this king, if this king sees these salted fish on the table again, whoever makes this king will let him even eat salted fish for a month, and nothing else is allowed!"

After speaking, Zhao Jun also glared at Wang Huaien viciously, only stared at him and shrunk his neck, knowing that the prince really hated this salted fish, and hurriedly nodded his head.

Picked up the salted fish on the table and handed it to Wang Huaien, and then stared at this guy, and after eating all the leftovers, Zhao Jun began to enjoy his breakfast.

After Meimei finished eating a breakfast without salted fish, she stretched her waist comfortably, and Zhao Jun immediately waved his hand and led a group of entourages and guards towards the outside of the city.

The garrison barracks of Yunzhou County are in the Nanyun Campus in the south of Yunzhou City, and today is the day when Zhao Jun and Cheng Cheng agreed to inspect the barracks.

How to show the Yunzhou Army, which has already been seriously lacking, in front of his eyes for review!

Nanyun Campus is located three miles south of Yunzhou City.

The entire Nanyun school field covers an area of about ten acres, and it took several days for the original Yunzhou garrison to level out such a large area.

Zhao Jun and his entourage set off early in the morning, and they were halfway through the journey at this time.

Zhao Jun's iconic luxury carriage was steadily moving forward on the road, Wang Huaien was driving, but there were two people in the carriage.

One is naturally Zhao Jun, and the other is a woman with a pretty face and eyes like autumn water, and her name is Qing'er, who is the maid specially sent to him by Yunli these days.

To say that Zhao Jun, the prince, is also a failure, and people have traveled more than ten years. has long been surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, and no matter how bad it is, there are a few confidants around him.

As for him, in the palace, the palace is very strict with the underage prince, except for the elderly old mother, other young palace maids as long as they get close to him will be immediately transferred out of Kunning Palace, so that for more than ten years, he has not even had a maid by his side.

Fortunately, the people below are quite sensible.

No, just after the beginning of the year, Yunli sent a maid.

Originally, a group was sent, but Zhao Jun was noisy, so he finally left this.

The carriage is not small, and Zhao Jun leaned against the bed and watched the snow scene outside the window.

Although the heavy snow has gradually stopped, it is still a blanket of snow everywhere, and it is covered with thick snow.

In the carriage, the silver flask was placed on a small stove to warm it.

After a long time, Qing'er saw the heat coming out, and knew that the wine was almost warm, and it would be hot if it was warm, so she took down the wine jug and poured a glass of warm wine and sent it to Zhao Jun.

I took the wine glass casually, and the warm wine flowed down my throat, and the wine reached the stomach, dissipating the heat all over the body, and the whole person was warm.

"Qing'er, where are you from?"

Zhao Jun retracted his gaze from the window, coming and going, there were exactly the same scenery, and there was nothing to see.

Without any scruples, the whole person got on the mat, lying on the mat on his side in a posture of a noble concubine, looking at Qing'er, who was still moving softly and drinking wine, and asked with a smile.

Qing'er paused, then put down the wine jug, flicked the charcoal fire in the stove a few times to make it smaller, and then replied respectfully:

"Back to the prince, the slave is from Linhai County, Sunan County."

"Sunan County, Linhai County?"

Zhao Jun thought for a moment, then muttered.

"This king of Sunan County knows that it is a county in the southeast of my Great Song Dynasty that is close to the sea, but Linhai County has never heard of it."

Qing'er replied with a wry smile: "The prince is noble, there are thousands of counties in the Great Song Dynasty, and our Linhai County is only an inferior county, it is too normal that the prince has not heard of it." ”

"Inferior counties?"

Zhao Jun was a little stunned.

You must know that according to the division of the Great Song Dynasty, only counties with a population of 5,000 households, but nearly seventy percent of the people have no land of their own, can be divided into inferior counties.

The people of such a county are undoubtedly living very poorly, and the lower counties in the entire Great Song Dynasty are as rare as the upper counties, and the most are medium counties.

I didn't expect this Qing'er to come from an inferior county, is this Linhai County so difficult?

Qing'er nodded: "Back to the prince, we are near the sea and close to the sea, and most of the land in the land boundary is saline-alkali land, and there is no food at all, so the people have to go out to sea to fish for a living."

From childhood to adulthood, slaves and maids are also to eat fish, shrimp and crabs in the sea for a living, as for rice and white noodles, that is not to think about it, every year when it comes to paying taxes, our Linhai County is even more gloomy, most of the people have no land and can not pay taxes at all.

Fortunately, the inferior counties have an advantage, that is, the tax paid is also less, everyone can only catch more fish on weekdays while it is still fresh and sent to other counties that are not near the sea to sell in exchange for silver money to stick to the family, but unfortunately the road is difficult to walk, and when the fish is sent to other counties and finally alive, there is not much left, and it cannot be sold at any price.

After a year, it is enough to barely pay taxes and buy two sets of clothes for the family. ”

"Saline, no wonder."

After listening to Qing'er's story, Zhao Jun also understood what was going on, in these years, the people and even the imperial court paid the most attention to the income from the land, and the taxes were mainly paid to crops, otherwise it was silver.

Linhai County, because most of the land in the county is saline-alkali land, there is no food in the land at all, and fishing is also subject to the current fishing technology, can only mix food and clothing, and sell fish because of the road and transportation problems, and when they reach the destination, a truckload of fish can survive not even one-tenth of it, and they can't sell much at all.

The combination of these reasons has caused poverty in Linhai County.

sighed two sentences, but he couldn't do anything to say that he was just a prince in the end, and everything would be fine if he could manage his own one-third of an acre, and the rest, if you want to care, it depends on whether other people are happy or not, and if you are not careful, it is easy to be regarded as having ulterior motives.

There was silence in the carriage for a moment, except for the boiling and bubbling sound of the wine in the flask on the stove as the warm wine went on.

Suddenly, the carriage, which had been moving smoothly, stopped, and before Zhao Jun could ask, Wang Huaien's voice came from outside the curtain.

"Lord Wang, it's here."
