Chapter 09
(0009)
Brigadier Zhang pulled out the bamboo gun, lifted the silver carp, placed it on a rock, and then cleaned the rock with sea water.
The sea water in the 17th century was basically free of industrial pollution and had very strong self-purification ability. Although it was salty, it was relatively clean.
He used a hatchet to break the green bamboo, cut a sharp piece of bamboo, and then skillfully scaled the silver carp, sliced it, and cleaved bones. This was all learned in the army before. Although he had not practiced for several years, fortunately it was not completely abandoned. Soon, the crispy fish fillets were cut. He threw a few slices of fish into his mouth and started chewing it with relish.
Yang Yinghan looked at him as if he was looking at a monster, and said a little worriedly: "Yulin, you eat raw fish fillets... you will have diarrhea."
Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "It's okay. You can have a bunch of people too."
As he said that, he handed her a bamboo stick.
Yang Yinghan hesitated and did not dare to take action.
Zhang Zhun encouraged and said, "It's really delicious. Can I still lie to you?"
This sentence worked. Yang Yinghan finally plucked up the courage, slowly picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth. After chewing for a while, she looked very strange and her mouth stopped moving. However, she finally ate the fillets.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Zhang Zhun said expectantly.
"No taste." Yang Yinghan said with a frown.
"Yu Sheng experienced a fresh word, extremely delicious and nutritious." Zhang Zhun certainly could not let no one appreciate his masterpiece, and said with a smile.
"But, food that is not cooked will get sick if you eat it." Yang Yinghan was still very worried.
"No. Only dirty, toxic and spoiled foods will only get sick after eating them. The fish fillets are fresh, clean and non-toxic. How can they get sick?" Zhang Zhun continued lobbying.
Yang Yinghan probably thought what he said made some sense, so she ate two more pieces and gradually adapted to the taste of fish. But Zhang Zhun also asked her to eat it, and she said she was indeed full. She took out two rice balls and handed them to him, saying, "You can eat it."
Zhang Zhun took the rice ball without hesitation and ate it.
If you are really hungry, don't pretend.
After eating a lot of fish and eating two more rice balls, Zhang Zhun was finally full.
After eating, he worked hard. Zhang Zhun found Qianwan again with fish, lured the hidden fish out with fire, and then made ruthless moves. As a result, he stabbed six large yellow croakers in a row, each of which was more than five or six kilograms. Zhang Zhun made a bamboo pole and hung the fish on the bamboo pole. The two of them carried them back one after another.
Looking up at the location of Qimingxing, it should be less than twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. The day of the first month is short and the night is long. The Yusheng just now can barely be considered a midnight snack. It is not bad to have a beautiful girl accompanying her midnight snack. This is probably the most primitive entertainment activity in the Ming Dynasty.
When he returned to the shanty town, Zhang Zhun suddenly found that Yang Ruifeng and mouse were lit torches and were about to go out to find someone. Seeing the fish carrying a bamboo pole, their expressions were strange, and they wanted to speak but stopped. Yang Yinghan's expression was of course very unnatural. She lowered her head and hurriedly hid in the house. Zhang Zhun was too lazy to explain, so she handed the fish to mouse and went back to bed by herself.
In the second half of the night, Zhang Zhun really slept soundly.
When I woke up the next day, it was already sunny. Yangjiatun had never had an accurate time, and everyone acted according to the weather. When I came to the mouse's house, Yang Yinghan, Yang Ruifeng, Huang and others, they had already gone to Laoshan with others to collect firewood, and only Yang Kaide and mouse were at home.
After the breakfast was ready, it was actually a thin slice of fish. It seemed that she had realized it quite quickly. Unfortunately, she didn't know that it was a bit like using the fish fillet for breakfast... Fortunately, there were also wild vegetable porridge and steamed buns.
After drinking two bowls of wild vegetable porridge and gnawing four steamed buns, Zhang Zhun and mouse arrived at Hongshitan.
Wu Yang from the neighbor's house was already waiting here. The five of them seemed eager to try, and each of them was holding a prepared sharp bamboo gun.
"Erling!"
Zhang Zhun was about to talk to Wu Yang when suddenly someone shouted next to him.
Turning his head and looking at it, it turned out that they were the three young men I met yesterday. They all looked at themselves with anticipation. It seemed that they also wanted to join Zhang Zhun's fish-breaking team.
"Is there anything wrong?" Zhang Zhun asked directly.
"Erlen, can you teach us to slap fish too?" the young man in charge asked expectantly.
The word "一" in his speech means that they must have communicated with Wu Yang, but Wu Yang did not dare to agree rashly. After all, this was something that Zhang Zhun could only decide. The three of them did not give up and waited for Zhang Zhun to arrive here.
"Yes!" Zhang Zhun said casually.
"Master!" The three of them immediately changed their names.
Zhang Zhun felt that this title was a bit inappropriate, and he felt like he was twenty years old. In fact, Erlangzi was less than seventeen years old, but he was strong and looked like he was twenty years old. However, the master is a very common title. It is reasonable to teach them kung fu and call them masters.
When Wu Yang heard the three of them calling this, he changed his words to call him Master.
"Okay, don't be polite. You can call me master or Yulin. They are all brothers in front and behind the house. There is no need to make so many rules. Sorry, although you three are from the same place as me, I really don't remember your names. You also know that I didn't have a good memory before." Zhang Zhun nodded and said bluntly.
"The three of us are called Zou Mingjia, Hao Linyong and Yin Fengyi." Of course, the three of us would not mind and hurriedly said their names.
These three young people are of course also military households, and their whole family is military households. The smartest one is called Zou Mingjia, the dark one is called Hao Linyong, and the other one is called Yin Fengyi, who is said to run very quickly. They are all miscellaneous households from Yangjiatun and migrated from Sichuan.
Fushan Institute was established during the Hongwu period. No local military households were transferred from different provinces. The founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was very sensitive to rebellion and rebellion, so he did not hesitate to kill. Regarding the Wei Office system, he insisted that only when military households come from different places can the gathering of rebellions be effectively prevented.
Because of his regulations, the military households in Fushan Institute came from eight different provinces in total, forming the eight most primitive villages. The farthest military households even came from Yunnan. Each village came from different provinces, with different customs and different interests. It would not be so easy to rebel.
However, even so, Zhu Yuanzhang was not at ease, so he ordered that some miscellaneous households be added in each garrison. The so-called miscellaneous households are different from most people in the garrison. For example, most of the military households in Yangjiatun come from Huguang, so the military households from Sichuan, Henan and Yunnan become miscellaneous households.
The main purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of miscellaneous households was to monitor the movements of each garrison and prevent people from gathering to cause trouble. If there were any troubles in each garrison, miscellaneous households could inform them at any time. Behind the matter, these miscellaneous households were also called "Erwuzai", which is said to be the first name invented by Yuan Chonghuan. Everyone understands the meaning of it.
Because miscellaneous households have undertaken such a bad surveillance task, they will certainly be looked down upon in their respective villages. Others are military households from one province, and only you come from different provinces. Who do you bully if you don’t bully? There will be regional disputes in the 21st century, let alone the Ming Dynasty?
There are only eight miscellaneous households in Yangjiatun. They are naturally a first-class vulnerable group in the village. Even Yang Kaide is not very friendly to these miscellaneous households. Of course, they will not do too much. After all, most of the people in the miscellaneous households are poor. It is boring for the poor to make trouble for the poor.
It is already very miserable to be reincarnated as a military household. It is even more miserable to be reincarnated as a miser household. If you are unfortunately reincarnated as a miser household, then it will be so miserable that it cannot be more miserable. But the three of them are all Yu Dians in a miser household.
The abnormal regulations of the Ming Dynasty were that Laozi's military households were all military households. The eldest son inherited Laozi's position and was called "Zhengjun". If Laozi had an official position, it was called "Sheren". Others became alternates, called "junyu" or "Yu Ding". For example, in the family of mouse, Yang Kaide and eldest son Yang Ruifeng were Zhengjuns, and mouse and younger brother Yang Gansheng were both Yu Dings.
The army was distributed by the court, even if it was owed, at least the accounts of the court would admit it. If the court had money one day, it would be cashed out. But the army was miserable. The army was not paid, and could only make a living by itself, but it could not be removed from the household registration. Since it could not be removed from the household registration, it meant that it could not leave the jurisdiction of the Thousand Households. The state did not provide money and food, and was tied with ropes by laws. This was the miserable situation of the Yu Dings.
Military households have no entertainment activities at night and do not know how to contraceptive, so they can only create people until their wives cannot have children. Therefore, even if the premature death rate is very high, ordinary military households will have five or six children. Seven or eight or even dozens of children are not uncommon.
The pressure of Zhengjun’s money and food is to support so many people in his family. Especially now that the money and food have been owed for more than half a year and have not been starved to death, it is a miracle. No wonder he will be excited to tears when eating a meal of fish. It is so miserable!
The three of them were really penniless, and they didn't even come to mice. After eating, they had no choice but to go to the beach every day to get lucky. Because there was no professional guidance, their fishing skills were indeed not great, and they had basically no harvest.
