Chapter 172
Qiu Jingming has been planning for the future since he stepped into Chaozhou. When Tangning asked, he immediately showed a reassuring smile, "Go into the city, let's talk as we walk."

On the way, Qiu Jingming educated Tangning on some of the rules here, "I have visited many villages as a shopkeeper during this period of time, and got to know some old people. I found that the people here are not as xenophobic as Mr. Huang said. Conflicts of interest, everyone is very kind and friendly, and most of them can get along well without touching the interests of the other party. From a certain point of view, these people are simpler and purer, and they don’t need to spend too much time getting along. "

Tangning frowned, tilted her head and thought, "Why do I think what you're talking about is like a primitive!"

"primitive?"

"A person who is uneducated, ignorant, simple-minded and well-developed." Tangning thought for a long time, and finally came up with the most appropriate word to describe her.

Qiu Jingming hooked the corners of his mouth amusedly, "It's okay for you to say that. Before Prime Minister Ning was dispatched to Lingnan, the biggest official here was the governor. Great rights, but just solving the conflicts in various villages and pirates and bandits here is enough for the governor to have a headache, and there are border gates to guard, so there is no need to care about the construction of people's livelihood.

The people can't count on the officials, they can only rely on themselves, so the villages here are very united, everyone practices martial arts, and they are also trying to find ways to prosper the population through reproduction and make their villages stronger.

Of course, what I said has nothing to do with what we are going to do, only one thing is special, there are not many exchanges between the villages here, but your village always has things that my village does not have, and my village has others The village needs something, what should I do in this situation? "

"What should I do?" Tangning opened her eyes wide, eagerly waiting for Qiu Jingming to continue.

Qiu Jingming didn't hold back, and immediately lowered his eyes and said: "In this situation, there are two kinds of transactions, one is bartering, and the transaction is made between the two villages, and the other is trading in a big market, and the big market is not there. In the city, but in a place called Chenjiazhuang, five miles west of the city, it’s not far from us, and it’s less than half an hour by donkey cart.”

"It's only been half an hour! It's not far away, let's go to Chenjiazhuang!" Tangning planned to turn around as she spoke.

Qiu Jingming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly pulled him back, "What are you in a hurry for? We went to Daji now empty-handed, what can we get in exchange? They should be distressed if we go back with money."

During this period of heavy construction, everyone's wallets have not only shrunk, but also the food has bottomed out, and there is no land to grow crops. Everyone is very flustered. If they spend money to buy food at this time, it is estimated that everyone will not be able to sit still.

Suddenly, Tangning patted her head in frustration, rubbed her chin and fell into deep thought. After a long while, she finally raised her head and said, "I've made up my mind. I'll stick to my old job, fishing!"

Qiu Jingming didn't say yes or no. After the two of them entered the city, Tang Ningxing hurriedly ran towards the east city, and didn't stop until Haikou. She was thinking about how to go into the sea, but was stopped by the patrolling soldiers. "doing what?"

This sudden shout really startled Tangning. When she came back to her senses, she immediately put on a cute appearance and said softly, "My lord, I want to go fishing in the sea."

"Just you?" A group of soldiers seemed to have heard some big joke. After laughing, the leader said seriously: "Don't you know the rules of our Chaozhou? If you want to go fishing in the sea, you have to be issued by the government. , where is your token?"

Tangning looked bewildered, "We just arrived in Chaozhou and just completed the household registration, so we don't know about the token."

The soldiers next to him approached the boss and whispered something in a low voice. The leading soldier's eyes immediately changed when he looked at the two, but he couldn't take too much care of Tangning in public, so he said, "If you want to go into the sea, you must go there first. The government government got the token, and if the fishing boats want to go to sea, they must use the fishing boats provided by the government, and their own fishing boats can only sail in rivers and lakes."

"Why?" Tangning's eyes widened in confusion.

But the soldier pointed to the sea and explained: "In order to prevent pirates, ships sailing at sea, as long as they have the special marks of the government, they can get the protection of the government. Of course, it doesn't mean that these ships don't need to go through interrogation, it's just that we can deal with them first if something goes wrong. Time to find out."

Only then did Tang Ning understand, deeply aware of the capabilities of the Chaozhou prefect, no wonder the people here respect this prefect so much, oh, of course there is also the Prime Minister Ning, but this mysterious master does not seem to be in Chaozhou, specifically It's not something she can inquire about.

According to the soldiers' instructions, Tangning, accompanied by Qiu Jingming, went to the government office to get the token to go to sea, and rented an official fishing boat in Haikou.

The quality of the fishing boats here is really good. Whether it is size or weight, they are not comparable to the small fishing boats in the river. What makes Tangning more satisfied is that the fishing boats are not too big. She can control the fishing boat very well. She has great strength alone, and she doesn't need help from others at all.

Qiu Jingming expressed several times that he wanted to go into the sea with him, but Tangning refused, "You and I are just worried about me, but I have good water skills, great strength, and experience in fishing. You don't understand these things, so you might as well do it." You are good at it, don't waste your time."

After saying this, Qiu Jingming slowly lowered his head. It was the first time he realized that he was so useless. Unfortunately, Tangning jumped on the fishing boat in a hurry before he could feel sad.

There is a small carbon stove on board, some cheap black charcoal, and special fishing nets provided by the government. Of course, these all cost money.

While Qiu Jingming was nervously watching, the group of soldiers were also paying attention to Tangning's movements. Going to the sea is not going into the river. Whoever's family is not a brother? They cooperate and help each other. It is surprising enough for a little girl like Tangning to say that she is going to go to the sea. , or alone, is this not giving rations to the big fish in the sea?
Since Tangning might have some relationship with the magistrate, the soldiers were quite afraid that something might happen to her.

Not long after Tangning's fishing boat was rowed out, there was a patrol boat patrolling back and forth not far from her.

Tangning didn't think too much about it, her mind was full of seafood and making money, her eyes almost turned into the shape of ingots.

When the boat sailed to a similar place, she was about to cast a net, but found that the fishing net here was different from the one she used before, so she had to ask the nearby fishermen for advice embarrassingly, and finally put the fishing net in like others.

The next thing is to wait for the delivery.

Everyone saw her as a little girl, it was quite strange, some people would open their mouths and keep talking about dirty jokes, Tangning was not annoyed, her expression remained unchanged in the cold wind, she went back to the cabin and took out the simple fishing rod she made in the space.
