Liu Jin couldn't help but despise Zhu Chongba in his heart. Although Zhu Chongba was able to drive away the Yuan captives in the north and restore the Han Dynasty, he was a talented man with great strategy, comparable to the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty.
But because he came from a humble background, he naturally had the narrow-minded class nature of a small farmer. This can be seen just from the salary he set for Ming Dynasty officials.
The salary of officials in the Ming Dynasty can be said to be the lowest among all dynasties, so much so that first-class ministers such as Liu Bowen, the founding hero, could not support their families with their salary, and almost starved to death. This shows how high the salary of an official in the Ming Dynasty was. Low.
But there are two words in the name of official. If the people above are not full, how can the people below have a good life? If an official cannot support his family, how can he be expected to be honest and self-disciplined? Everyone needs to eat, let alone an official. .
Although this forbidden sea is inseparable from the pirates and Japanese pirates along the coast, blind defense and forbidden sea are simply boiling soup to stop boiling and drinking poison to quench thirst, which cannot play a fundamental role at all.
On the contrary, it will gradually lead to isolation and isolation, and eventually it will slowly fall behind the world.
What's more, the official ban on sea trade will make private smuggling intensify. Not only will tax and money not be collected, causing financial difficulties, but it will also make those who have tasted the sweetness of sea trade even more rampant. By the time of the Jiajing Dynasty, coastal smuggling Japanese pirates are very rampant and cannot be eradicated no matter how hard they are suppressed. One of the important reasons is that many of these so-called Japanese pirates collude with large coastal families and are colluding with each other.
"In addition, some helpless poor people at the bottom were forced to become pirates and Japanese pirates. Naturally, no matter how hard they were suppressed, they could not be eliminated.
From this aspect, it is not unreasonable for Liu Jin to despise Zhu Chongba, and he was not completely wronged. Although the Song Dynasty was weak, the Song Dynasty valued maritime trade, so the finances of the Song Dynasty were very abundant. The officials of the Song Dynasty The salary package is also very high.
The Southern Song Dynasty was able to settle down in a corner and continue the power of the old Zhao family for more than 100 years. It relied on the prosperity of the Jiangnan region and the huge profits from sea trade.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Southern Ming Dynasty was established, but it was quickly destroyed by the Qing Dynasty. One of the important reasons was that the Ming Dynasty was really poor. It was poor from the founding of the country to its demise. The current Hongzhi Dynasty only lasted one year. The tax revenue is only more than 3 million taels of silver, which is pitiful.
"Brother Jin, look, I caught a big crab."
While Liu Jin was deep in thought, Zhao Erhu came over happily, holding a crab as big as a plate in his hand.
"I'll go, what a big crab."
When Liu Jin saw it, he couldn't help shouting.
In later generations, Liu Jin also ate crabs a lot, but crabs as big as a plate were still very rare and would never appear on ordinary people's dining tables.
"This crab is not too big. I have seen bigger crabs before, as big as a table."
Zhao Erhu said with a grin.
"Huzi, how about this crab for me? Such a big crab, it must be delicious."
Looking at the crab in Zhao Erhu¡¯s hand, Liu Jin swallowed his saliva. In later generations, the bigger the crabs were, the more expensive they were. Liu Jin also liked eating crabs.
"Of course there is no problem. What's so delicious about crabs? No matter how much you eat, you won't be full. The most delicious thing is white noodles. I can eat several large bowls by myself, but it's been a long time since I had a good meal."
Zhao Erhu nodded happily, then touched his belly and said.
In this era, seafood is really worthless. There are countless crabs, snails, sea fish, and sea vegetables on the beach, but only poor people will eat these things.
Because you don¡¯t feel hungry after eating these things, you will get hungry easily. Only rice and pasta are the most popular foods. However, due to limited planting technology, the yield is very low. Even now, the people at the bottom are still very hungry. It¡¯s hard to have a full meal.
"Hu Zi, you just need to follow me from now on, and I will ensure that you have enough flour to eat every meal. When the time comes, you will marry an aunt, and your wife and children will be on the hot bed every day."
Liu Jin looked at Hu Zi, then patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Can you really eat white noodles all the time?"
"Can I still marry my mother-in-law?"
When Zhao Erhu heard this, he swallowed in a daze, and then his face turned red when he thought of marrying his aunt.
He is about the same age as Liu Jin. In a qualified family, he would have already married a wife and had a baby. However, Zhao Heishan's family is poor, and the whole Xiahetun is also poor. There is no girl willing to marry.Put gauze on it, then spread the washed fine sand on it, then spread a layer of fine charcoal, and then spread a layer of fine sand, so it becomes a simple filtering device.
"Brother Jin, do you think this is okay?"
Soon, Zhao Erhu had also crushed the coarse salt, brought it to Liu Jin and asked.
¡°That¡¯s it, pour the salt into the water.¡±
Liu Jin picked up the salt in the stone mortar and looked at it carefully. Zhao Erhu was very serious and pounded it very finely.
"Ah, pour it into clean water?"
Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhao Erhu was stunned and couldn't help shouting: "This salt is difficult to boil. If you pour it into water, it will not be easy to boil it again."
"I know, just pour it if I tell you to, don't worry about it."
Liu Jin nodded and said, if it does not blend into the water, there is no way to filter it. However, in Zhao Erhu's opinion, this behavior is really puzzling. It is a waste of time to pour the food into the water after finally cooking it. . (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
