Fang Jifan could see the embarrassment in Zhu Houzhao's face.

It was like a master, who suddenly discovered that his secret skills were suddenly usurped by someone.

Shrugged, Fang Jifan couldn't help with this.

A few days later, the crown prince had a grand wedding, but no one paid attention to this grand wedding. The crown princess Shen was reported to be dignified, but Fang Jifan had never seen what he looked like.

Thinking about the green grassland on his head, Fang Jifan himself didn't know how she would feel. When he woke up, he looked at the seven women who touched his big belly. If one of them was still nearly thirty years old and in this era, he could almost be her mother, then...

So Fang Jifan looked at Chen Ao’s expression, which was strange.

Chen Ao was very happy that the Shen family was about to become a queen. Although he was still the crown prince's concubine now, His Royal Highness the crown prince was also someone he admired very much.

But at this moment, he had to pack up his luggage and set off with Yang Biao with more than 2,000 soldiers from the flying ball camp. Countless flying balls were loaded into hundreds of big trucks. In addition, there were countless fuels. In order to set off, Xishan recruited thousands of cattle and horses, and more than 900 farmers.

The vast team headed southward. They will travel through mountains and rivers in three months to arrive in Guizhou.

At the same time, the Beiwu Guard, who was far away in Ningbo, had also received orders.

Ningbo prepared the Japanese guards and recruited more than 1,500 people from Yiwu and Yongkang who had been poor for 18 lifetimes. After all, in this era, it is difficult to find people who had been rich for 18 generations, but these poor men who had been poor for 18 lifetimes are everywhere.

The treatment of the Japanese guards was good, and when they heard that they were going to recruit personnel, people rushed to the front.

After months of training, fishing and whaling, these people have grown up quickly.

The Japanese guards already have seven warships. In addition, there are six ships dedicated to fishing, and the fish production is rising steadily.

Almost every month, as many as seventy or eighty giant whales have been dragged back from overseas. In this bay, aquatic products treatment workshops have risen one by one. Countless farmers have become slaughtered craftsmen, and there are special wax making workshops nearby. At the same time, workshops that specialize in treating whale skins, whale bones, and whale meat have also risen up one by one.

In the south of the Yangtze River, the taxes of Ningbo Prefecture rose straight, so that the Ministry of Revenue also showed support for Ningbo Water Village.

On the one hand, a large amount of aquatic products can replace grain. If you eat more fish in the Jiangnan region, the demand for rice will naturally decrease. In addition, the most gratifying thing is the surge in silver taxes.

This Ningbo mansion can now bring 500,000 taels of salt tax to the court every year.

This... is an extremely terrible number.

You should know that the main taxes of the Ming Dynasty came from physical taxes. For example, for farmers, the court collected grain taxes, and grain taxes were grains. For merchants who made cloth, the court adopted the method of 10 draws and directly collected cloths; for silk, silk was taxed.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's tax and silver income was not much, and it was a lot if it was two or three million taels a year.

It is actually quite embarrassing that the court has no money, so that most officials and soldiers release charcoal as their salary, and even the court simply uses the Ming Dynasty treasure banknote to pay the salary.

The 500,000 taels of silver brought by Ningbo Prefecture a year greatly alleviated the embarrassment of the Ministry of Revenue.

Because the court mainly taxed silver income, which came from salt and iron, such as salt. The court adopted a specialized system and produced salt, and asked the salt merchants to exchange silver for salt intake before they were allowed to sell it.

Because of this, the price of salt has remained high, and it has led to the rampant private salt. Therefore, since the founding of the country, the salt tax has not increased, but has become less and less. The situation in Ningbo Prefecture is different. After a large amount of fishery products arrive ashore, they need to be processed and salted fish must be made to ensure that it will not rot. The demand for salt is particularly huge. Some workshops use hundreds of kilograms of salt every day, and this uses almost all official salt. After the pickled fish is made, it is sold to the inland or the capital. The sales volume is surprisingly good. Although the price is high, the cost of yellow croaker is low, and even if it is used, it is profitable.

As a result, the water village made a fortune, and the gentry from Ningbo Prefecture made a fortune; the salt merchants made a fortune; the transshipment merchants also made a fortune; and even the imperial court made a fortune.

The salted fish, which is as high as millions of kilograms of salted fish, has entered all over the world through various channels, and even in the army, they like to use such fish as dry food. After all, the shelf life is long, and with this salted fish, it can actually be eaten instead of salt. When you want to cook porridge, cut a small piece of marinated fish and put it in it. Not only does the porridge water taste much more delicious, but even salt is saved. It can be said that it is a must-have fish for traveling at home.

The military orders from Zhenguo Mansion reached the Water Village.

Tang Yin took a breath.

This place is thousands of miles away from Annan. He never expected that his mentor would borrow the power of the Water Village.

Fortunately, the hydrological situation in Annan has been clearly understood by Xu Jing, who had been voyage to the West, and the route is not a problem.

Tang Yin was promoted to the throne and summoned the military officers from all over the water camp and issued an order.

After that, all the sailors were summoned to the schoolyard and began to issue orders to fight in Annan.

Qi Jingtong, who had returned to the water camp from the capital, recited the military order on the spot.

In an instant, the sailors were so excited that they cheered.

Someone knelt down with his legs, digging the sand and stones on the ground with both hands, and bursting into tears with excitement.

The screaming sailors burst into tears.

Finally...waiting.

Especially those recruits.

They did not catch up with the good time to attack the Japanese pirates.

That was a happy day for the veterans to brag about for half a year.

The head of a Japanese pirate was the income of a day when he was fishing. He swept across overseas islands all the way. How many veterans directly sent silver to build a house through a battle of annihilation of Japanese pirates. They were not just rammed earth to build thatched houses, but they used blue bricks and red tiles, and even the beams were made of large wood.

Now...it's finally here.

Although fishing is a big income, after all, income is visible after one month. In other words, it is called life fading out of a bird.

But going to Annan or even fighting, this is different.

The new recruits were eager to try, and the veterans remembered their glorious years and shed tears on their clothes.

Every time, at this time, Qi Jingtong couldn't help but recite his catchphrase: "Don't be excited, everyone, don't be excited. This trip to Annan is thousands of miles apart, and the battle is a matter of several months. At present, you still need to endure and not rush to attack. You still need to focus on fishing and wait for the order to attack. Now you are communicating the order, and ask the orders and others to step up their practice in case of unexpected accidents. The Annan people's tactics are different from those of the Japanese pirates. From today on, the methods of practice must also be different..."

He roared hysterically, but the sound was soon overwhelmed by cheers and howling sounds.

A head is silver, and silver means that you can marry a wife, have children, buy land, build a house, and glorify the countryside.

The sailors could almost see the foundation of their big mansion and imagine what their kid looked like. Even their grandson's name had begun to be taken.

Qi Jingtong had no choice but to spread his hands and look at Hu Kaishan.

Hu Kaishan was naked, the pectoral muscles on his chest trembled, and then he let out a lion roar: "You*, shut up, I'm ***, a group of damn poor people, who always think about their wives and houses, but you can't think about the teachings of Tang Shixue and Qi Qianhu. Let's think about something healthy, such as serving the court or serving the country?"

Suddenly, the sailors calmed down, and everyone looked at Hu Kaishan like quails.

Hu Kaishan was satisfied and said to Qi Jingtong: "Okay, Qi Qianhu, next you will talk about things other than marrying a wife, having children, buying land, and building a house. They don't like to listen, I like to listen!"

Qi Jingtong: “…”

……………………

Guiyang.

The horse has arrived and the medicine he brought has been delivered.

Fang Jinglong couldn't afford to get seriously ill, and Mrs. Liu was the one who was doing everything inside and outside Guiyang.

The wife was born into a rebel army, but she controlled the overall situation of the rebellion. Hundreds of thousands of native men, women and children were sent by her.

Now that I have married Fang Jinglong, I have also been influenced by the situation in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I have ordered one by one, so although it is the current epidemic, the situation in the army is still stable.

Liu was very worried about her husband's situation. The epidemic was extremely terrible. The doctors in the army were helpless. The so-called local doctors also used up all the prescriptions, but still did not achieve any results.

Seeing that my husband was sick and blind, he vomited almost every day, and the high fever became more and more serious, so he could not eat, fainted for a long time, and even if he woke up occasionally, he kept talking nonsense.

In the Guizhou army, thousands of people are as ill as their husband, and tens of thousands of other infected people. However, such epidemics are still spreading wildly. No one knows that the next moment, some people will start to fear the chills and cough.

Therefore, when Fang Jifan’s letter was sent, the so-called ‘special medicine’ was also brought.

Liu had almost no hesitation and personally took medicine for Fang Jinglong.

At this time, there is no way to distinguish the quality of the drug. If you have it, it is better to sit there and wait for death.

Now, due to this epidemic, as many as 200 people died. Every day, people died in the army. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Liu still seemed strong, but at night, tears were shed.

She took the medicine herself, laid Fang Jinglong's head on her legs, took a spoon, and took a little bit of awakening, and fed the medicine into Fang Jinglong's mouth.
