Great Ming National Teacher

Zhu Cixuan looked helplessly at the young men who were catching fish in the river, and was extremely envious. He couldn't freely slip in and out of the river like a fish, but it's a pity that he couldn't swim, even if he could, father Nor would he agree to go down the river.

He can't go into the water, he can only squat on the edge of the pond and watch the fish. As a prince, the live fish he has seen in his life are limited to the koi raised in a large porcelain tank. He may eat this kind of gray fish. Yes, but never seen it.

He cautiously stretched out his little hand, and poked the back of the largest crucian carp with one finger. There was not much water in the pond, and one-third of the crucian carp's back was above the water surface. A large splash.

Zhu Cixuan was so frightened that he almost jumped back into Li Yunya's arms.

Li Yunya laughed loudly: "It's just a fish, manly man, don't be afraid of him, come, Dad will take you to poke together."

Li Yunya caught the crucian carp and said to Zhu Cixuan: "Come on, touch it, you can touch it casually."

The crucian carp got out of the water and struggled vigorously in his hands, flapping its tail left and right, Zhu Cixuan didn't dare to touch it, but Li Yunya coaxed and agitated him, and then mustered up his courage, and touched the belly of the fish.

After playing for a while, seeing the sun was setting to the west, Li Yunya called the boys to go ashore.

"These are not enough for one silver dollar." The boy Sanhe said with some frustration looking at the fish in the pond.

"Even half a dollar is not enough." A naive young man next to him said.

"I still have something to ask for your help." Li Yunya said, "We don't know how to clean up this fish, so please clean it up for me."

The teenagers were frustrated because they couldn't earn a silver dollar. When they heard that there was still work to do, they immediately started to act. They picked up two small iron sharpened knives from the pile of clothes, and skillfully scraped the scales and cheeks, and cut open the belly.

Li Yunya took out a corner of Tongbao: "I have to ask some of you to help me get some oil and salt from the village, and I also need to rent an iron pot."

Sanhe appointed a young man: "Dabao, go to my house and tell my father, bring that small pot, and some oil, salt, wine and vinegar." Then he said to Li Yunya, "Let's count it all together, no need Give me more money."

"That's fine. We'd better have some scallions and ginger when we count the money together at the end."

Dabao took two companions to fetch things, and Li Yunya took the stones along the river to move them.

Zhu Cixuan followed behind and asked curiously: "Father, why are you picking up stones?"

"Make fish to eat. Dad will cook grilled fish for you later." Li Yunya picked up enough stones and built them into a stove. Zhu Youjian watched by, wanting to help but unable to do so. Take him to collect firewood together: "If it is dry, grass and branches are fine."

It's just that it was early summer, and the vegetation was all green, and there was no dry firewood at all, so Li Yunya went to the nearest farmer, bought some ready-made firewood for a penny, and went back with Zhu Youjian For luck, the farmers are willing to help when they receive the money. The three adults transported them three times, and Zhu Cixuan also ran with two of them each time.

There was enough firewood, and the fish were packed, and soon Dabao and the others came back with the pot, and he said to Sanhe, "Ma'am, let me tell you, don't break the pot, otherwise, uncle will beat you up."

Li Yunya put the firewood into the stove and lit the fire with a lighter. The teenagers were surprised to see the baby who could burst into flames with a single click. The best living tools they had ever seen were matches, and only rich people could use them. of.

When the fire came up, Li Yunya put the pot on the stove, put the packed fish into it, and cooked it with green onion, ginger and vinegar sauce.A bonfire is set up on the other side, and the two sides are framed with rocks, and the center uses branches to pass through the fish and put them on the fire to roast.

He reached into his backpack as a cover, and took out seasonings such as thyme, sweet oregano, and perilla leaves, as well as hawthorn, red dates, and chili powder from the space, and added them to the pot and the grill respectively.

Soon the fragrance wafted out, and a group of teenagers gathered around began to swallow their saliva, Zhu Cixuan was even more solicitous, but he was well-bred, so he didn't ask Li Yunya for it, but squatted aside, staring at him with wide eyes. .

Sanhe said to Li Yunya: "You two gentlemen, do you have any orders?"

"I don't have any orders." Li Yunya greeted them, "The rest is to eat fish."

Sanhe shook his head: "You still have to treat your fish, we won't eat it." He wanted a reward, but he was a little embarrassed, and finally said after working hard several times, "Our fish are not worth a silver dollar, and with this oil Salt sauce and vinegar, you and Sijiao will be fine."

"It won't be changed if it's agreed to be one yuan. In my opinion, these fish are worth more than one silver dollar." Li Yunya took out a piece of Chongzhen Tongbao and handed it over.

Sanhe took the silver dollar to check the authenticity, and then bowed to Li Yunya and Zhu Youjian: "Thank you two gentlemen, if you have any other orders, just mention them, as long as we can do it, we will definitely do it for you .”

"The rest of the order is to eat fish." Li Yunya said, "The guests I want to invite are you. Today we came to Tianjin for the first time, and it is fate that we met you here to catch fish. Come, come, eat. Fish eat fish, it’s interesting for everyone to eat together, otherwise the three of us wouldn’t be able to finish it.”

The teenagers were naturally embarrassed to eat fish after they got the money, and they declined one after another, ready to leave. Li Yunya grabbed one of them casually: "Why? I invite you to eat fish, but you don't give me any face. Could it be that you look down on us?"

"we do not have……"

"Eat it if you don't have one. Hurry up, it's all ready." Li Yunya handed over a stick fish skewer, "Share yourselves, and taste how my grilled fish tastes."

The teenagers all looked at Sanhe, Sanhe sighed slightly, nodded in agreement, everyone cheered, and took the fish skewers to share the food. Li Yunya himself is very good at cooking, and he has all the seasonings in hand, and the teenagers ate a big piece On the one hand, he said that he had never eaten such delicious fish.

Li Yunya took one to share food with Zhu Youjian, but Zhu Youjian still couldn't let go, so Li Yunya tore off a piece of "fish steak" and handed it to his mouth: "Eating fish in the wild like this is a wild idea." , sitting on the ground under the curtain, use your hands directly, come, come, keep you unforgettable for a lifetime."

Zhu Youjian ate a piece of the fish he fed, and it really tasted different from the grilled fish he ate in the past. He also reached out and tore a piece by himself, and ate it slowly. Li Yunya ate it by himself while feeding Zhu Cixuan. Being spoiled and spoiled, eating fish by himself is easy to get thorns stuck in his throat. Li Yunya carefully picked out every thorn and fed him the clean meat.

This kind of picnic experience was unimaginable for the two of them in the past. The more they ate, the more they loved it. After eating one, Li Yunya grilled another, and after eating it again, they grilled shrimp again. Shrimp to eat.

After eating all the grilled food, the cooked ones in the pot will be cooked. After the pot was removed, Sanhe took some fish and shrimp from the strainer and ate them. Li Yunya picked a crab for Zhu Youjian and fed it to Zhu Cixuan. Crab leg meat, drank a few more spoonfuls of fish soup, the little guy was full, washed his hands and went to the edge of the pond, and poked the remaining silver carp with a branch to play.

Li Yunya chatted with the teenagers while eating: "Sanhe, is your surname Liu too? Are you all surnamed Liu?"

"They are all surnamed Liu, but I am not. My surname is Liang." Dabao, who went to the village to fetch pots earlier, said, "My name is Liang Dabao. This is my younger brother, Liang Erbao. This is my younger brother, Liang Xiaobao."

"Neither am I! Neither am I!" A child in his early ten years said quickly, "My surname is Li, and my family is from outside."

"Foreign? Where did it come from?"

"Luo Quandao, he escaped from North Korea."

"Oh, does your family live in this village now? What are your parents doing now?"

"I live in the village, my father sells miso, and my mother makes clothes in a factory in the city." The child said while gnawing shrimp skins.

Li Yunya advocated women's rights. In addition to breaking the bad habit of foot binding, he also called on women to come out of their homes. They can also stand up to the sky, earn money to support their families, and set up girls' schools in various places. I don't want to come out and show my face, otherwise I won't be able to get married. Only middle-aged women who can't live on will go to work in the factory.

A few years ago, with a stroke of his pen, Li Yunya crossed out his slave status, banned human trafficking, and changed all maids and servants to the employment system, which is equivalent to labor and is protected by industrial laws. Many wealthy families have driven out their slaves. The girls either couldn’t find their original hometown, or their parents were poor and refused to take them in. Many of these people went to factories or even girls’ schools, and Li Yunya asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs to set up orphanages in various counties. Children also go to school.

After the North Korean refugees came, they had no land. In order to make a living, most of the women went to factories to contribute to Li Yunya's large-scale industrial plan. Li Yunya asked the two ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry three times in a row to treat these female workers well. To solve their worries, if they do a good job, they can settle in the local area in two years.

Of course, this has attracted the ridicule and scolding of "the hen is the morning" from the diehards.

Li Yunya asked the teenagers again if they had gone to school, and what ideals they had when they grew up.

Among them, Sanhe's real name is Liu He, and he ranks third in the family. His father was Liu Qianhu's former chief of thousands of households. After the reform of the military system, the military households were abolished. Persuade him to come back and become the village head.

His eldest brother, Liu Hai, is a very intelligent person. He borrowed a hundred silver dollars from the bank with the family property as collateral, and then used his family's connections in the military to start a smuggling business that was tacitly approved by the court. Buy low-quality porcelain, tea, cloth, underpants, socks, vests, leather boots at the price of cabbage... go to Phi Island.

Phi Island was originally occupied by Mao Wenlong, who was beheaded by Yuan Chonghuan. Later, most of the people above surrendered to the Manchus. Li Yunya originally wanted Yuan Chonghuan to take it back, but later changed his mind. After Li Yunya closed the border trade, here is It became a black market, and all the things that were smuggled by Ming Dynasty were traded here with Qing Dynasty.

Huang Taiji was in urgent need of goods from the Ming Dynasty, so he asked Kong Youde to lead his army to guard here to protect the merchants, for fear that this only trading window would suddenly be cut off one day.

If you want things from the Ming Dynasty, you have to use silver or silver dollars. The Qing Dynasty was so poor, where there is money, you can only squeeze out as many local products as possible from the Northeast and North Korea, such as ginseng, caterpillar fungus, and animal skins. He was bought by smugglers like Liu Hai at the price of cabbage, and then sold the porcelain and tea he brought at a very high price. Once he came and went, he made a lot of money, and the double tax to the customs was removed. There is still a lot of surplus.

Liu He's second brother, Liu Jiang, chose to join the army. He is a member of the East China Sea Fleet under Yuan Chonghuan's command and is already the captain of a speedboat.
