The navy sailed out of the Yangtze River Estuary in the morning glow.
However, Yang Fan did not go directly south, but turned a corner on the sea, bypassing Hu Douzhou, which was silted up at the mouth of the Yangtze River and was later used to exile prisoners, and arrived at Rudong County on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
After finding a secluded bay, Fang Jun sent an order to repair the fleet again for ten days. As long as the soldiers living nearby can make a round trip within ten days, they will be paid five hundred coins and fifty kilograms of rice, and they can return on their own. Home. The fleet will pull anchor and head south in ten days. Anyone who cannot return to the fleet in time will be treated as a deserter.
Everyone in the navy was frightened by the chief steward's imagination.
The recruitment of government soldiers has a military cycle. Within this cycle, no soldiers or generals are allowed to leave the military camp without authorization, otherwise it will be a serious crime against military discipline. The military system of the Royal Navy is the only conscripted soldier in the world. Those who are not within the military system of the Imperial Army have a service period of three years. They are also not allowed to leave the military camp within three years. Unless they die in battle or die unexpectedly, their bodies can be sent back to their place of origin...
Liu Renyuan was so bold that he was sweating on his forehead, and he tried to dissuade him: "General manager, why is this? This is a grave sin!"
Every emperor is afraid of rebellion by his subordinates, so he strictly controls the military camps.
"It takes ten years for scholars to rebel," but if serving soldiers can be mobilized to rebel, local turmoil will inevitably occur.
Fang Jun explained: "Aren't there two Arabs on the boat? They want to buy Zhentian Lei. I have to wait for His Majesty's order, so I can't sail south for the time being. It won't be too late to leave until I get His Majesty's order."
Anyway, today's warships no longer need to rely on monsoon winds for long voyages. It makes no difference to eat one day earlier.
Liu Renyuan said anxiously: "That's not what the general said. Why did you give the soldiers a holiday? If the court investigates, it will be a serious crime!"
Fang Jun sighed and pointed to the continuous salt-alkali land on the shore: "Except for the generals from various families brought from Guanzhong, most of the soldiers in our navy are from nearby families. Along the coast. The land is barren and the product is not much. Even if they make a living by boiling salt, they are exploited by wealthy families, and everyone is impoverished. If the good boys and men of today are not really unable to make a living, who would be willing to serve as a soldier? Even if you pay one, it will be three times. New Year! Give everyone some money and some food, and it will be enough to last for a few days if you send it home. Maybe this little thing is the hope for the whole family to survive."
Today's "living by the sea" is not as comfortable as it was in later generations. The ships are backward and the nets are crude. Even if there are swarms of fish and shrimps in the sea, fishermen who actually go to sea for a day's work will not catch much.
Food cannot be grown on saline-alkali land, and salt production is controlled by aristocratic families, so residents along the coast have a much harder time than those in the interior.
Liu Renyuan was stunned. It turned out to be because of this...
He was from the Diaoyin clan, so naturally he couldn't sympathize with the soldiers' difficulties, so he said to himself: "But this is a big sin..."
Fang Jun asked back: "Can you behead someone?"
"Uh..." Liu Renyuan choked: "Of course it won't happen, but..."
"What other buts are there? Among the crimes on this prince, which one is smaller than this one? As long as they can't be beheaded, let them do whatever they want."
Fang Jun waved his hand carelessly, very domineeringly.
Liu Renyuan was speechless.
This person is "no need to worry if you have too many lice, no need to worry if you have too many debts". The broken jar has already been broken...
Fang Jun remembered something again and called Xue Rengui over: "Sister-in-law is coming soon, right? I'll give you a holiday. Go back to Huating Town and go to Pei Xingjian's place to collect ten copper coins. You must settle down well for your sister-in-law. How can a woman be in the most miserable state of a man?"
I will never leave you when you are young, I can accompany you through hardships, and inspire your fighting spirit to make progress. I should cherish it as a man, even if I pamper you to the heaven, it is not an exaggeration!"
Xue Rengui was moved in his heart, but hesitated at his feet: "This..."
He also knew that if his soldiers left the military camp without permission, Fang Jun would be punished.
Fang Jun glared and said: "It's okay if you say it's okay. Let a hundred people go. Those guys have no intention of focusing on this trivial matter like this. Go back quickly. If it delays the departure, don't blame me for including you."
A list of deserters!"
"promise!"
Xue Rengui said no more, turned around and strode away.
Fang Juntang is the general manager of the whole road. He is a Marquis and the emperor's son-in-law. How much friendship is it to call his Xue Rengui's wife "sister-in-law"? We, Xue Rengui, are also a man. If we say more lies, it will be hypocritical and pretentious. This kindness
Keep this in mind, no matter whether we are prosperous or miserable in the future, we will follow the General Manager and work hard to do our best!
At the stern of the boat, Yuchi Baoqi and Liu Rengui were following Tian Yunlai to learn how to cast the net.
Casting a net may seem simple, but it actually requires a lot of knowledge.
First of all, you need to be strong. At this time, there were no nylon threads in later generations. They were all hemp ropes. They became heavier after being soaked in water. If you want to spread the fishing net out like a goddess scattering flowers and cover the sea to the maximum extent, you need to have great strength.
, but also need skills.
Yuchi Baoqi threw a piece of fishing net into the sea like a stone at the first time. It sank to the bottom with a "dong" sound. Can he fish out the hammer? However, after several experiments, he gradually became more proficient in the technique and the effect became better and better.
.
He and Liu Rengui were both extremely powerful, and the fishing net that Tian Yunlai grinned and used all his strength to throw out was as easy as gluten in their hands.
Seeing Xue Rengui jumping out of the warship and holding a small boat up the Yangtze River waterway, Fang Jun and Liu Renyuan walked to the stern of the ship.
There are already miscellaneous catches on the deck, and as Yuchi Baoqi and Liu Rengui become more and more enthusiastic and their skills become better and better, more and more catches are being caught. Fishing is not easy these days, and the simple and backward fishing gear alone has left the fishery idle.
development of.
For example, the current sea area is the Lusi Bathing Beach, one of the four major fishing grounds in China in later generations. It is rich in fishery resources, but the fishermen living in this coastal area often do not have enough to eat...
Sure enough, science and technology represent productivity!
Without the support of science and technology, people can only live in a primitive society of slash-and-burn farming.
The last net weighed three to four hundred kilograms. Liu Rengui and Yuchi Baoqi pulled up the net bag with their bare arms. The tendons on the two arms were bulging out, exuding a pale golden halo under the setting sun. If this were released
In later generations, I took a photo and uploaded it to the Internet. I became a real internet celebrity and gained countless fans.
The surrounding soldiers all knew the weight of this net, and they all cheered. Tian Yunlai untied the rope buckle on the deck, and a lot of shining silver hairtail fell on the deck.
They were twisting their bodies like eels and preparing to run away. Seven or eight huge crabs and several cuttlefish were still spitting out ink. Fang Jun had already returned to the cabin's kitchen to get a basin and picked up a basin of scallops.
I picked up two more hairtails of suitable width and width, and prepared them for fried fish steaks.
How to make fish steak?
This thing was passed down from foreigners. It basically doesn’t need to be made, and he doesn’t know how to make it complicated! Just remove the fish meat from the sea to ensure that there are no thorns or bones, then lightly smash it with a heavy object to break all the fibers of the fish meat, and then wrap it
Add the eggs and flour and put the oil in the pan...
Then just wait for the surface to turn slightly yellow and take it out. You can't delay this. The oil temperature is very high and the color will deepen after it comes out of the pan. If it turns golden, take it out and it will turn brown after a while.
It’s the same method as soft fried tenderloin and sliced pork, but it’s simpler.
Liu Rengui entered the kitchen shirtless and was immediately shocked. The ingredients were so complete! Onions, garlic, ginger, pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, soy sauce, vinegar, chive flowers, mustard, allanion, spicy polygonum...
Liu Rengui was dumbfounded. I'm afraid His Majesty's imperial dining room is nothing more than this, right? Su Wen, the general manager, is a foodie who never tires of fine food. When he is free, he will think about all kinds of food and cook it.
The deliciousness is unparalleled in the world.
Fang Jun is busy in the kitchen. The fish fillets need to be fried. The scallops and crabs are simply boiled in water and added with some salt. There are also half-foot-long prawns. The most labor-saving method represents the purest original taste. But these things are still
They need to be washed carefully with clean water, and a few yellow croakers need to be well prepared before they can taste good. Liu Rengui's big body was in the kitchen, looking around and getting in the way. Fang Jun glared and said, "How about you do it?"
"
Liu Rengui quickly shook his head: "No."
Just kidding, you are the only weird prince in the world who likes to go to the kitchen, even the cook has been kicked out. Haven't you heard of "a gentleman is far away from the cook"? Oh, I almost forgot, this one has nothing to do with a gentleman...
