The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 44 Fishing Boat
Not long after Tang Qing'an left Donghai Fort, the secretary of the Wei Division, the governor and the officials began to inspect the thousands of households and the hundred households to inspect the military, check the military weapons, and the materials in the warehouses.

After eating and drinking all the way to Donghai Fort, Zhou Ji had already received Tang Qing'an's order to cook the staple food himself and brought out a live donkey.

Bury the donkey's four-legged donkey in the pit dug a long time ago, let the donkey's belly close to the ground, and then cover the donkey's body with quilt.

The big pot prepared next to it slowly boiled a pot of oily soup, and the boiling sound only made a sound.

Two military households came out. Under Zhou Ji's command, they scooped out pots of oil soup and poured it directly on the live donkey's back.

"..."

The donkey screamed continuously and was tightly restrained. Although it screamed extremely painfully, it couldn't move at all. It stretched its neck so long that its eyeballs protruded as if they were about to fall off.

Zhou Ji didn't feel cruel at all. He poured fermented soup on the quilt many times.

Ask the military household to move quickly and wipe the donkey from the nape to the buttocks, so that all the hair on the donkey's body falls off.

After a long operation, the donkey finally stopped braying, but the opening and closing of its nose showed that it was still alive.

While the donkey was still breathing, Zhou Ji quickly took out a knife, gouged out a piece of donkey meat, and asked the military household to take it to the fire and roast it, exuding a strong fragrance.

Finally, put it on a plate and distribute it to the officials to taste.

"Donkey Burn"

This novel way of eating amazed the people present at the time, opened their eyes, and became a topic of conversation in Donghaibao.

Chen Kaiwu has heard about it in his own family, and some people commented that this year, the delicious food of Donghai Fort has overwhelmed all the schools.

He had just finished eating at home when several banner owners from the Baihu Office came over.

"Why did you come here together?"

Several people smiled hippiely, you pushed me, I pushed you, and finally one person came out and said with a smile, "Over Donghai Fort, I heard that many people are forbidden to go to sea, and even bought a big fishing boat."

Soon, Chen Kai understood the purpose of everyone's visit.

The people under his command also want to learn from Donghai Fort.

The sea ban of the Great Zhou Dynasty followed that of the Ming Dynasty, and the people were also not allowed to go to sea privately. At the same time, the coastal residents moved fifty miles inland.

Anyone who violates the law will be beheaded regardless of whether he is an official or a citizen, and the prisoner's family property will be compensated to the whistleblower.

They belonged to military households, and Donghai Fort was also set up fifty miles away from the coast. It was originally used to guard against Japanese pirates at sea and patrol those who violated the sea ban.

However, there have been no traces of Japanese pirates in these years, but there are still movements along the southeast coast, so their laws have been relaxed a lot, and some people secretly go fishing in the sea.

This kind of behavior is also turned a blind eye, as long as it is not too outrageous, no one will take care of it, and no one will catch it.

But like Donghai Fort, it is really too courageous to buy fishing boats and go to sea quietly.

"Don't think about it. Although I am a hundred households like everyone else, I can't compare to him."

Chen Kaiwu was not embarrassed and said generously.

"Others have all hands and eyes. In the Wei Division, even the Liaodong Capital Division has someone to take care of it. This matter can't be embarrassing for others, but for us, if we are sued, we can't afford to walk around."

Xiao Qi said enviously, "The hundred households at Donghai Fort are young and energetic after all, if someone goes to sue..."

"Don't even think about it."

Chen Kaiwu glared and interrupted him.

"Do you have evidence? Someone else's land, can you catch it now? Where do you go to sue if you don't have evidence? Wei Si? Du Si? I'm afraid that if you go in, you won't be able to get out."

Xiaoqi touched the back of his head consciously, and said with a smile, "They all belong to the same guard, who would be that rotten villain."

"I don't care what you think, anyway, first weigh your own weight, don't end up hurting yourself."

"Oh, it's a sad time."

The little flags sighed.

"Fart your mothers, the military households under your command are having a hard time, I believe this, but you say your life is hard, believe it or not, I will beat you?"

"Okay, I'll go to Donghai Fort to have a look."

After dismissing the little flags, Chen Kaiwu thought for a while, and led the mule to Donghai Fort, ready to remind the little brother.

It's better not to show some limelight.

What are the benefits of taking such a big relationship for one's own military household?
When they arrived at Donghai Fort, they only saw Liu Chengmin, and learned from him that Tang Qing'an had actually gone to Shandong.

"The hundred households in your family have been in Liaodong for a few months, but they have a normal time to run on the road. Now Liaodong is not enough for him to run, so he ran to Shandong."

Hearing Chen Kaiwu's exclamation, Liu Chengmin explained for the elder brother.

"It's also for the official business of the guard department. The Liaodong capital wants to set up a gunpowder bureau here, and we are required to be responsible for escorting.

You also know the situation in our guard. Not only is there a shortage of people, but we can’t afford to support them when they come. Therefore, the Liaodong capital needs to set up a battalion and be responsible for supplies. Therefore, it is necessary to smooth the relationship. "

Chen Kaiwu smiled, but did not speak.

"One of you is in charge and the other is in charge of outsiders. The two brothers are making Donghai Castle more and more prosperous, and many people are jealous."

With an "ah", Liu Chengmin raised his head and looked at Chen Kaiwu with a questioning look in his eyes.

"I heard you bought a fishing boat?"

"No."

Liu Chengmin shook his head decisively.

Chen Kaiwu laughed angrily, and cursed, "You kid still lie to me? Can't you trust me?"

"hey-hey."

Liu Chengmin was embarrassed, and thought about it again. The relationship between the other party and the elder brother was indeed good, and he gave the eldest brother advice on many local matters.

"Brother asked me to practice military households. There are not enough manpower and fields. I can only think of ways to get more supplies for everyone."

"That's what makes sense. If you were arguing with me just now, I'll tell your elder brother and let him teach you a lesson."

After Chen Kaiwu finished speaking, his face suddenly became serious.

"If you do this, it will easily arouse public anger."

Why did you suddenly turn around again?Liu Chengmin couldn't figure it out, and couldn't figure out why Chen Kaiwu came here for a while.

"Brother, gather a few boats and come out. When you don't go out to sea, you can hide in your Donghai Fort. How about it?"

Since I can't persuade the two brothers, why don't I follow suit to get some oil and water, anyway, I have already reminded them.

"This has to wait for my elder brother to come back before he can decide."

"It's also good for you if I do this. Everyone will take advantage of it, so no one will gossip behind their backs."

"I guess my elder brother should agree." Liu Chengmin changed his tone.

"Then there's no problem. I'll go back now and let the flag owners collect money. When your eldest brother comes back, the boat will also be back."

Chen Kaiwu left contentedly, and Liu Chengmin almost burst out laughing.

The eldest brother said that the business in the rush is not a business, and only when others ask to come to the door, can we get twice the result with half the effort. Before leaving, the eldest brother expected that the surrounding hundred households would be jealous and someone would want to take advantage.

It doesn't matter, the more ships the better.

Tang Qing'an didn't know that Chen Kaiwu was the first to take the bait, and he returned to the capital again.
