Chapter 30 Economy

Ding Yi was stunned for a long time and said, "Get out, don't let me see you again!"

Liu Cong glanced at Ding Yi deeply, got up, picked up the bucket, limped to the side of the boat, threw the bucket down, and the person also rolled over from the boat into the sea. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ding Yi walked slowly to the side of the boat, looked out, and saw Liu Cong holding the wooden barrel, rising and falling with the blue waves, his legs were beating hard, wanting to stay away from Ding Yi's boat. Ding Yi walked to the bow of the Fu Boat, lay down on his back, opened his eyes wide, and looked at the blue sky!

The slight breeze blows, the sky is as clear as autumn water, a few white seabirds draw lines in the air, Ding Yi's heart becomes quiet, the worldly killings are far away from him, the tense muscles and spirit also become relaxed, Ding Yi's eyelids gradually move closer to the middle, he is really tired today! He just wants to rest for a while, Ding Yi fell asleep!

Ye Feiqing quietly walked to Ding Yi's side, sat down slowly, leaned back, and lay beside Ding Yi, she was also tired!

"Boom!", Ding Yi turned over, pulled out his sword, and pulled Ye Feiqing, who was also standing up, behind him, "What's the matter?" Ding Yi blinked vigilantly, and was a little not very sober, there was a person leaning on the side of the boat in the middle of the boat, as if it was Lao Lin!

"I've seen Ding Baihu, I'm arguing with you! I just couldn't sleep well, I came out and walked around, and saw a thief crawling towards the boat, so I shot him and killed him, you can continue to rest!" Lao Lin replied to Ding Yi with a smile!

Ding stepped in front of Lao Lin in a few steps, looked out of the boat, Liu Cong was on the side of the boat, his limbs were spread open, lying quietly on the sea, a large patch of blood quickly stained the surrounding sea water!

Ding Yi couldn't help but be a little afraid, if Lao Lin didn't get up and found that Liu Cong was climbing up, he was sleeping so deeply, it was really dangerous!

Ding Yi pulled Ye Feiqing and Lao Lin and asked them to sit down at the bow of the boat, Ding Yi asked: "Why do they want to run away to be widows, can't they live their lives?"

Lao Lin sighed: "Yes, they are ordinary soldiers, life is not good, I Ming Ming does not allow us to be soldiers in the imperial examination, we are not allowed to do business, we can only serve in the army for generations, and the land is occupied by the military leaders, even the tenant farmers are not as good, it is really not good, people can change the master's family, we can only make cattle and horses for the military leaders, children and grandchildren, generations are inferior!"

Ding Yi was puzzled: "As the saying goes, 'relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea', I see that there are many maritime merchants in Fuzhou and Nanjing who are so rich that they are so rich, and your navy is their security guarantee, how can they be so miserable!"

Lao Lin replied: "Of course, the maritime merchants want to fight some troops, but the money is all into the purse above, we have no play, if it is better to kill the enemy, we can earn some rewards, but now the pirates are not easy to fight, all of them are hard to bite, and they are not slippery, and they can't catch up!"

Ding Yi asked again: "Someone said that our Ming Ma Zheng said before, he said that they feed a horse in three dings, are you also like this?"

Lao Lin replied: "We are military households, there are no such bad things, the north is three dings and one horse, some in the south are five households to feed a horse, and some are ten households to feed a horse, which is better than what the man said, but it is also required that a horse produce a horse every year, and a horse will be sent into the capital every year, which is not a small burden." Like the one with three dings and one horse, it is impossible to destroy the family and kill people!"

Ding Yi asked again: "How about the taxes of these maritime merchants?

Lao Lin replied: "I can't collect it, the sea will be banned for a while, and it will be released for a while, and no one is willing to pay, even if most of the people who are willing to pay are also given to the officials, don't think about taxes!"

There is a big problem in the economy of the Ming Dynasty, although the sea trade is extremely rich, but the sea tax is not, which is strange! Ma Zheng is also forcing the good to be a thief, and it is a bad government!

Not in his position, not in his politics, Ding Yi cleared the distractions in his heart, and said to Lao Lin: "How can this boat go?"

Lao Lin smiled bitterly: "There are only three of us, we can't drive the boat, anyway, there are two small sails at the bow and behind the boat, depending on the situation! Don't count on me, I'm not a sailor, just a pawn on the ship, in charge of fighting, I can't find the direction and operate the boat! The three of us can't even turn the boat!"

Ye Feiqing asked, "Then what now?"

Ding Yi scratched his head, he didn't find Sinan in the cabin, he only relied on himself, only he had a wide range of knowledge, and he was really grateful for receiving so much education in his dream. He smiled bitterly and said: "Leave it to fate, fortunately, you can still raise and lower the small sail, as long as the wind blows to the west on the sea, you can spread the sail and feel the force, otherwise you will lower the sail." The direction can only look at the sun, the sun comes out of the east, and we go west. There are more than 100 people on board, and I think it will be enough for us to eat for half a year. In addition, there are seabirds here, and there should be land or small islands nearby, so everyone should look into the distance in shifts, hoping to find the land sooner!"

Ding Yiyi: "Lao Lin, you go to rest first, your injuries are too serious, I'll just come here!"

The three of them took turns on duty, looking for land, Ding Yi and Ye Feiqing even jumped on the roof and the small mast several times, looking far away, but still found nothing. There is almost nothing to do on the vast and flat sea, five days have passed, the seabirds are gone, there is still no land to see, no vegetables are eaten for a few days, Ding Yi has never missed fruits and vegetables as much as now!

The wound medicine is very good, Lao Lin's wound has begun to scar, Lao Lin's body is very strong, there is no purulence and redness that Ding Yi is worried about, it is really a blessing in misfortune!

It is ten steps from port to starboard, ten steps from starboard to port, fifty steps from bow to stern, and fifty steps from stern to bow. After practicing during the day, Ding measured the size of the lucky boat every day!

Ding Yi was very bored, he practiced swordsmanship a few times this day, stood in the middle of the fortune boat, took out a red robe and unfolded it in the wind, just like a fiery red flag in his hand, Ding Yi shouted: "Come here, come here, learn peerless magic skills!"

Ye Feiqing muttered: "I'm going to be weird again!" walked towards Ding Yi, and Ding Yi didn't make a lot of trouble on her this time!

Lao Lin is already very familiar with Ding Yi and the others, this will not be polite, and he ran over from the cabin and shouted: "Wait for me, what magic skills, what magic skills?" Lao Lin himself knows a little rough military kung fu, no internal strength is all stupid strength, Ding Yi has been bored in the past five days and has also instructed him in kung fu!

"Dangdang Dangdang" Ding puffed up his cheeks and dubbed himself, and said: "Don't miss it when you pass by, it's unique in the world, it's the only one of its evil sword spectrums, it's invincible in the world, and you won't lose if you can't practice!

Ye Feiqing shook his head: "It's really crazy to find land again!"

Lao Lin was still happily circling around Ding Yi: "Show me, show me!"

Ding put a red robe on the deck, pressed a corner with the scabbard, and beckoned Lao Lin and Ye Feiqing: "Come on, come on, let's take a look, maybe you can learn something, Fangqing, your water-clearing swordsmanship has something to do with this!"

Lao Lin lay next to Ding Yi and pressed the corner of a robe: "If you want to practice this skill, you must first go to the palace?"
