??Here at the pier on the seaside of Xiahetun, Changli County, Liu Jin¡¯s hometown, Liu Jin has just returned from a boat trip and went fishing in the Bohai Sea to see seals.
The ecological environment of the Bohai Sea during this period was quite good. Despite years of marine fishing, it still has a very good ecological environment.
The fish resources in the ocean are not only diverse, but also of high quality and huge in quantity. Anyone who catches a net in the sea can return home with a full load, and there are still seals in the Bohai Sea.
The seals in the Bohai Sea are called spotted seals, which are extremely rare and rare grade 1 protected wild animals in later generations. They are also the only seals in our country in later generations.
However, in this era, there are quite a lot of posters in the Bohai Bay, widely distributed in coastal areas such as Shandong, Beizhili, and Liaodong.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and there are many places with seals. Especially in the Arctic Circle, the number of seals is particularly large. In addition, there are also a large number of seals in the northern part of the Northern Golden Continent.
It¡¯s just that people in the Ming Dynasty have never had the habit of hunting seals, nor have they had the habit or tradition of eating seals. Therefore, basically no one catches seals. Unlike whales, it is already difficult to find whales in the Bohai Bay.
There is no way, the whaling industry in the Ming Dynasty is now quite developed, there are many whaling ships, and there are huge profits from whaling, which stimulates people to hunt whales.
The whales in the Bohai Sea have suffered.
Liu Jin originally wanted to see whales this time, but he came back disappointed without seeing any whales.
"It seems that we still need to legislate to protect the whales in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. We can't really catch them all, because future generations will never see them again."
Liu Jin, who got off the boat, was also thinking in his mind that although whaling can bring a lot of benefits, the Ming Dynasty has no shortage of whale oil, whale meat and so on.
It¡¯s time to pay due attention to the protection of animal and plant resources.
"The weather is getting colder and colder, and the Little Ice Age is probably coming soon."
"There are quite a lot of seals in the Bohai Sea."
Liu Jin felt the biting cold wind slightly. It was almost spring, but the temperature was still very low. Based on historical events, Liu Jin estimated that the earth was heading towards the Little Ice Age.
The Little Ice Age had a great impact on agriculture. Historically, the demise of the Ming Dynasty was inextricably linked to this. Under the influence of the Little Ice Age, the northern region suffered from successive years of famines, which led to people being in dire straits, wars, and peasant uprisings one after another. Serious It dragged down the Ming Dynasty, which was already in danger.
However, for the current Ming Dynasty, the impact of the Little Ice Age should not be too great. There are many grain producing areas. Even if the Ming Dynasty is not good here, there are still Nanyang, Huanghuangzhou, and Tianzhu Continent. These places They grow a lot of food, and they are not afraid of the impact of the Little Ice Age.
"My life is pretty good, reading books and fishing, simple and fulfilling."
Liu Jin looked through his harvest, and the golden yellow croaker was obviously the most attractive. This thing has become very expensive in later generations, and ordinary people cannot afford it.
But in this era, large yellow croaker is just an ordinary fish species, and the price is cheap. The key is that the large yellow croaker is very large and of high quality.
This is also a fish that Liu Jin¡¯s family often eats. It has high nutritional value and delicious taste. Liu Jin likes to eat it very much.
"Sir, there's news from the capital. Prince Wang Shouren's father has passed away."
At this time, Liu Jin¡¯s housekeeper hurriedly came to Liu Jin¡¯s side and told the latest news from the court.
Although it was said that Ding You kept his filial piety, Liu Jin also knew very well about the government and the public, and all kinds of things inside and outside the Ming Dynasty. He could know about any changes in the capital at the first time, and there was a telegram at home.
Not only can you know the latest news, but you can also quickly convey some of Liu Jin's decisions.
There is no way, at Liu Jin's level, even if you want to live a small life sincerely, you still have to be on guard. As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others.
If there is any trouble and something detrimental to you occurs, you will know it as soon as possible and you can quickly take countermeasures.
Being in the center of power, there are a lot of overt and covert struggles, and political struggles are always about swords and swords, killing people invisible, with extremely cruel endings.
The better thing is to retire from office and go home to live in retirement, but the saddest thing is to exterminate the clan and confiscate the family.
There have been too many such things in the past dynasties, and Liu Jin was always wary of these things in his heart.??, they are directly related to the assessment system. Relatively speaking, their backgrounds are not as good as those of the Hanlin Academy.
People from the Hanlin Academy were among the best when taking the imperial examinations and were high-level reserve talents. However, few of these local officials, including chief envoys, governors, and inspectors, had ever spent time in the Hanlin Academy.
Reaching this level has already reached the ceiling level. If you want to improve further, you can only go to the Hanlin Academy to stay for a while. This has been the rule and principle used by the Ming Dynasty.
Although Liu Jin could carry out resignation reforms, he could not change this because this was an era based on imperial examinations.
The rankings of the imperial examinations are good. After entering the Hanlin Academy, in the future, the clouds are steadily, and the exams are rising step by step. After the test, you can only go to local and ministries to do things, and the promotion will be slower in the future.
It is precisely because of this system that scholars are desperately trying to do better in the exam and have higher nouns, because this is directly related to their future career.
"If you don't get Jinshi, you can't even get into the Hanlin Academy. If you don't get into the Hanlin Academy, you can't even hope to reach the level of Minister of the Six Ministers, let alone become a cabinet minister.
On the other hand, if you are ranked number one, second, third overall, etc., even if your promotion speed is very fast, everyone will be convinced. For example, Liu Jin is the number one, Xie Qian is also the number one, Li Dongyang is the fourth, Yang Tinghe is the second, Hu Guang was the number one scholar, Zhou Yanru was the number one scholar, and Shang Ren was also the number one scholar.
It can be seen that most of the famous ministers in the dynasty were from Jinshi Hanlin, without exception, and the promotion speed of first-class Jinshi was very fast.
¡° Scholars, everyone is taking the imperial examination. If you can get ahead in the examination, everyone will respect you.
PS: Do you think this is a good idea? Now it seems that people in Qingbei are getting promoted quickly
