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

    It¡¯s like a master chef who suddenly discovers that his secret craftsmanship has been usurped by someone.

    Fang Jifan shrugged, and Fang Jifan was helpless.

    A few days later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got married. No one paid attention to this wedding, and the Crown Princess Shen was said to be dignified, but Fang Jifan had never seen what she looked like.

    Thinking about the fact that Mrs. Shen had just walked through the door with the green prairie on her head, Fang Jifan himself didn¡¯t know how she would feel. When she woke up, she saw seven women touching her belly. What would she feel like?  Feeling, if one of them is still nearly thirty years old, in this era, she can almost be her mother, then

    So Fang Jifan looked at Shen Ao's expression, which was strange.

    Shen Ao is very happy. The Shen family is about to give birth to a queen. Although she is still the crown prince, her highness is also someone he admires very much.

    But at this time, he had to pack his bags, and together with Yang Biao, he took more than two thousand soldiers from the Flying Ball Battalion and set off. Countless flying balls were packed into hundreds of carts. In addition,  There was also countless fuel. In order to set off, Xishan recruited thousands of cattle and horses, as well as more than 900 farmers.

    The mighty team is heading south. They will travel through mountains and rivers to reach Guizhou in three months.

    At the same time, the Beiwa guards far away in Ningbo have also received orders.

    Ningbo prepared 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, people who have been rich for 18 generations are relatively difficult to find, but this poor man who has been poor for 18 lifetimes is more difficult to find.  , but it is all over the mountains and plains.

    The treatment of the Japanese guards was good. As soon as they heard that they were recruiting people, people rushed to join them.

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

    There are seven warships in preparation for Wowei. In addition, there are six ships specialized in fishing. The fish production has been increasing steadily.

    Almost every month, as many as 70 or 80 giant whales are brought back from overseas. In this bay, aquatic product processing workshops have been built one after another. Countless farmers have become slaughtering craftsmen. There are many nearby  Specialized wax-making workshops, and at the same time, workshops specializing in the processing of whale skin, whale bones, and whale meat have also sprung up.

    In the south of the Yangtze River, the taxes of Ningbo Prefecture have skyrocketed, so much so that the Ministry of Revenue has also shown support for Ningbo Water Village.

    On the one hand, there is a large amount of aquatic products, which can replace food. People in the south of the Yangtze River eat more fish, and the demand for rice will naturally decrease. In addition, the most gratifying thing is the sudden increase in silver taxes.

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

    This is an extremely scary number.

    You should know that the main tax in Ming Dynasty came from physical tax.  For example, for farmers, the court collected grain taxes, and grain taxes were grain.  For merchants who made cloth, the court adopted a method of drawing one out of ten and directly levied cloth; for silk, silk was taxed.

    Therefore, Ming Dynasty¡¯s tax revenue was not much. Two to three million taels a year was considered a lot.

    The lack of silver in the imperial court was actually quite embarrassing, so that most officials and sergeants issued horses and charcoal as their salaries, and even the imperial court simply used Ming Dynasty treasure notes to pay their salaries.

    "The five hundred thousand taels of silver brought by Ningbo Prefecture a year greatly alleviated the embarrassing situation of the Ministry of Revenue.

    Because the court¡¯s main tax revenue came from salt and iron, such as salt, the court adopted a monopoly system. When salt was produced, salt merchants were required to exchange silver for salt before they were allowed to sell it.

    Because of this, the price of salt has remained high, and illegal salt sales have been rampant. Therefore, the salt tax has not increased since the founding of the People's Republic of China, but has become less and less. The situation in Ningbo Prefecture is different. A large number of fishermen  After the fish comes ashore, it needs to be processed and made into salted or pickled fish to ensure that it will not spoil. The demand for salt is extremely huge. Some workshops use hundreds of kilograms of salt every day, and this,  Almost all official salt is used. After a large amount of salted and pickled fish are prepared, they are sold inland or in the capital. The sales volume is surprisingly good. Although the price is high, the cost of yellow croaker is low after all, even if official salt is used.  Salt is also profitable.

    In this way, Shuizhai made a fortune, the gentry in Ningbo Prefecture made a fortune, the salt merchants made a fortune, the transshipment merchants also made a fortune, and even the court made a lot of money.  Got a sum of money.

    Every day, millions of kilograms of salted and pickled fish enter the world through various channels and into thousands of households. Even in the military, they like to carry such fish as dry food. After all,No one knew that at the next moment, someone would start to feel chills and cough.

    So when Fang Jifan¡¯s letter from home arrived, he also brought the so-called ¡®special medicine¡¯.

    Liu had almost no hesitation and administered the medicine to Fang Jinglong herself.

    At this point, there is no way to tell whether the medicine is good or bad. It is better to have the medicine than to wait for death.

    Now, as many as 200 people have died due to this epidemic. Every day in the army, people die suddenly. On the face of Liu, she still looks strong in order to stabilize the morale of the army, but at night, she also sheds tears.

    She took the medicine herself, put the haggard Fang Jinglong's head on her legs, took a spoon, and fed the medicine into Fang Jinglong's mouth while Fang Jinglong was still a little awake.

    Fang Jinglong was so angry that he just tried his best to open his eyes wide. His vision was blurry. He suddenly thought of something. While sucking the medicine, he murmured with all his strength: "Your Majesty, do you agree? Do you agree?"  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
