Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Mu Ci and Mei Rong looked at the two eccentric children and thought it was quite interesting, so they didn't rebuke them indiscriminately.

Mu Qi lightly tapped his younger brother's forehead not very sincerely, looked at Mei Rong, and corrected with a smile: "What Aunt Wang, should Uncle Wang know?" The two of them called Queen Mei their mother, and Mei Rong It is authentic uncle.

But the words that the eldest prince taught his younger brother seemed to have missed the point at all.

Mu Yu corrected it as quickly as possible: "Oh, Uncle Wang."

Mu Ci laughed and asked: "Why do you think of going to sea? Going to sea is not a child's play, it is very dangerous, you know?"

Mu Qi nodded obediently, but Mu Yu said indifferently: "With you and Uncle Wang here, how could we be in danger?"

Even Mu Ci was speechless when he said this.

Mu Ci didn't make any detours, and treated the two of them as adults, looked them straight in the eyes, and asked seriously: "You just want to go out to the sea to have fun, I don't mind letting Xinghai take you there. But I want to know your Any other ideas?"

Mu Qi and Mu Yu looked at each other, and they fought a lot of eyebrow and eye lawsuits. In the end, the mature Mu Qi, who looked like a half-adult, said: "The two of us just want to look around for the time being, broaden our horizons, and learn more. Stuff, I don’t want to be bored in the capital every day being held up by people and don’t understand anything. As for the future... I know that Uncle Jiu Wang is really good for us, and you won’t let us end in the future. But my brother and I will If you want to become a man of indomitable spirit, you can't always rely on Uncle Jiu Wang's protection, so you want to make a plan early. If in the future four...brothers need brothers to contribute, of course we will do our best to help, so learn more and learn more It’s always right to have a look, and you can help more. If you don’t need it, my second brother and I will think of going overseas... You said that there is not only luck in the world, but there are more beautiful scenery in the distance... "Like their identities, sometimes staying away from disputes is a kind of happiness.

"Being on the boat is very bitter, and it is not as glamorous as we see on the surface." Mei Rong said, and then stretched out his hand, so that the two princes also extended their hands, "You all compare! I still have more than a year result of maintenance."

The two princes stretched out their pampered, pale jade hands, compared with Mei Rong's weather-beaten hands, it was like jade placed next to a rough boulder, the contrast was very obvious.And what Mei Rong stretched out was his broken right hand.

Mu Yu spoke bluntly, and asked, "Uncle Wang, how did you hurt your hand?"

Mei Rong has never mentioned it to Mu Ci, and now she said calmly: "We docked on an island once." Mei Rong found the chart spread out on the desk, identified it, and then pointed to Ding Haizhou There is an island on the outside that looks only the size of a fingernail. I nodded and said, "This is right here. We call it Cannibal Island. There are several cannibals living in it."

Mu Yu interrupted: "It's the kind that eats people!"

"Yes!" Mei Rong said, "We go out to sea a lot, and we all know that we will deliberately avoid it when sailing. But once we encountered a storm... The storm was so big that all my fleet It blew away, and my boat was flooded, so I had to dock on the cannibal island nearby. I was careful and nothing would happen, but when a few of my partners went to find a source of clean water..."

Mu Yu interjected again: "There is so much water in the sea, why do we need to find water!"

Mu Qi knocked on his younger brother again: "Listen well, don't interrupt!"

Mu Yu stuck out his tongue and became quiet.

Mei Rong had a good temper, and replied: "Although there is a lot of water in the sea, the sea water is salty, so you can't drink it directly. If you drink too much, you may even die."

Mu Yu suddenly said: "Oh, and then?"

Afraid that Mu Ci would be worried, Mei Rong held Mu Ci's hand under the desk with the other hand, coughed twice before continuing: "Those friends accidentally entered the territory of the cannibals and were arrested. I We couldn't leave them behind, so we had to find a way to rescue them. But at that time, we were tired and hungry, many people were injured, and we were not familiar with the terrain, so we fell into the trap of cannibals, and even I was caught. One of the little fingers The knot was cut off at that time." Mei Rong couldn't help coughing again... She didn't say that the little finger was eaten by life in person.

Mu Yu was in a hurry, and approached to shake his arm: "Then what?"

Mu Qi pulled him to sit down: "Don't be too nervous, it must be fine."

Mu Ci comforted Mei Rong, showed him a distressed but okay look, and stretched out her hand to cover the back of Mei Rong's hand that was missing a piece of her little finger.

The two princes glanced at it, and quickly turned their eyes away.

Mei Rong also smiled at Mu Ci, and said: "Those of my partners tried their best to rescue me, but none of them managed to get out of the cannibal island."

Mu Yu opened his eyes wide and asked, "Are they all dead?"

Mu Ci doesn't think it's wrong to talk about violent and bloody things with children. Values ​​need to be guided correctly, instead of building an ivory tower to cover up all cruelty.So Mu Ci said: "All were eaten by cannibals."

Mu Yu leaned towards his brother subconsciously, and Mu Qi hugged him, but didn't try to persuade him too much.Considering their status and want to go to sea, it's better not to be too naive.

Mei Rong said: "But it doesn't matter, I have found a way to avenge them."

"How did you get revenge?" Mu Yu always liked to break the casserole and ask the end.

Mei Rong glanced at Mu Ci, seeing Mu Ci shaking her head, too detailed bloody description is not suitable.

Mei Rong didn't say anything, but said: "You are still a little young now, when you grow up to be as tall as me, I will tell you everything."

Although the two princes were a little disappointed, they knew that Mu Ci must have his reasons for not allowing it, and they didn't bother to know the truth.

After Mei Rong finished telling the true story, she said: "There are still two months before the spring trade wind season, and I will practice the Sea God Army in these two months. You two will follow me. If you can adapt, I will take you out to sea Take a look. If you feel bitter and tired and can’t adapt, you must tell me, don’t support yourself, this is not a joke. There are many inconveniences when going out, and going to sea is far away from home, and you can’t even see the land. If there is something wrong with you, you will be in danger if you are sick or injured. Besides, you are still young! If you don’t make it this year, if you are older in two years, I can take you to sea.”

The eyes of the two princes lit up, and they were full of persuasive words before they uttered them. They didn't expect Uncle Wang to agree to them so easily.

After saying this, Mei Rong asked: "Did you visit Xiao Wu when you came here? Has he grown up? Can he crawl? Can he call his father?"

Mu Qi and Mu Yu have seen it all, but Mu Yu rushed to answer: "I have seen it, I have seen it, he has grown bigger than a watermelon." Then he stretched out his hand to gesture for size.

The adults all laughed.

Mu Qi answered: "Aunt Chaoyang said that the children haven't crawled so fast yet, and they can't talk. Now they can only raise their heads once or twice, but their necks are still soft. Every day, Xiao Wu eats and sleeps well. On the contrary, it is Xiao Si in the palace who sleeps every day during the day and cries non-stop at night, and the queen mother has been tossed by him and lost weight again."

Mei Rong, the son of a bitch, just got together with the two princes and started talking about Little Four and Little Five.Mu Ci was at the side, looking at them tenderly.

……

The seven days passed quickly, and Mei Rong's illness was almost healed. The Sea God Army had to do things, and he couldn't stay in Ruanxiang all the time, so he took the initiative to tease Mu Ci early in the morning while he was recovering. After having a good time, I happily took the small boat, returned to the sea from the waterway, boarded my flagship, and returned to Dinghai Prefecture.

Accompanied by two princes.

Mei Rong still went to pay a visit to General Chai first, this visit was also the last time we met, Chai Zishi had already packed his things, he just waited to say goodbye to Mei Rong, and then returned to Daxing by boat, with his grandson Nong'er, to take care of his old age.

Chai Zishi never imagined that when he saw Mei Rong, he didn't see the pale and haggard face after the illness as he imagined, but instead he was raised to be slick and smooth, and his face was full of spring breeze. Fishy, ​​the spring breeze on the corners of the eyes and brows can't be hidden.

Chai Zishi complained in his heart: It is said that General Mei is favored, but now it seems that he is really favored.But it's not good for him to say this in front of a big man, and there are two princes around.Although the prince is much younger than him, he has the greatest imperial power and the most respected status.Although Chai Zishi was born in the army, he still spent a lot of time in the officialdom, so he forgot the military salute for a while, and bowed his head to salute.The two princes were slightly taken aback, but they still returned the half-respect.

After saluting, Chai Zishi realized the mistake, but no one pointed it out, and Mei Rong smoothed things over: "Chai Lao is now disarmed and returning to the fields. It can be said that he has returned to his hometown with glory. Don't forget me when you go back, and always think of your brothers."

"Definitely!" Chai Zishi is old, and older people always like to chatter a few words, so he only said to Mei Rong: "General Mei is now in the prime of his life, when he is in the limelight, but he must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and work hard. Do it, don't be fooled by the things in front of you. People... no matter when, it's good if you have the real ability to hold yourself back. Of course, I don't have any other intentions..."

Mei Rong hurriedly said: "I understand what Old Chai means, and I know many things clearly in my heart."

Chai Zishi was also afraid that his long-windedness would be resented by others, and he was not Mei Rong's parents, and it was not his turn to teach him, so he swallowed all the words and didn't mention them any more.

Mei Rong and the two princes sent General Chai to the pier and onto the boat, watched him disappear at sea level before returning, and started their daily work.

Including practicing the navy, transforming warships, and... growing vegetables on the deck!

Planting vegetables on the deck is specially emphasized by Mu Ci, the king who is heavy on agriculture. In fact, the sea merchants brought by Mei Rong, especially the Daxing sea merchants, always have a kind of homeland feeling. Bean sprouts will bring a bag of beans on board, and those who can grind tofu actually move the stone mill onto the boat.In short, there are all kinds of wonderful things, only unexpected, and there is nothing that lucky sailors can't make.

Later, the Sea God Army remodeled the warship, and at one point banned the crew from growing vegetables and sprouting bean sprouts. After all, they were soldiers, and they didn't think about effectively attacking the enemy.

But Mu Ci didn't care about this, and encouraged everyone to grow vegetables. Even when the warship was being rebuilt, he ordered many wooden boxes to be built and fixed to the plywood with iron sheets, and then encouraged everyone to grow more vegetables and provided many seeds for free .

In addition, naval officers can also get some fruit wine specially approved by Muci.

At first, Mei Rong didn't understand why, and even the staff of the Sea God Army opposed Mu Ci's suggestion.Mu Ci did not forcefully enforce the order, but only drew a daily diet survey form, and two princes boarded the ship to investigate each person. Finally, after statistical statistics, it was found that people who eat vegetables and meat with a balanced diet are healthier, while those who eat meat alone are healthier. People who don’t eat rice have poorer physiques. People who eat only rice and don’t eat vegetables can cause more problems in the long run—night blindness, sores on the corners of the mouth, rotten hands and feet, and weakness and illness.

Mu Ci asked the princes to investigate the prisoners of war in Hongyi Dashi, and found that the loss rate of Hongyi Dashi's long-distance voyage was extremely high. Not only would storms and voyages kill them, but what was more tormenting was the long-term sailing at sea. There will be all kinds of inexplicable diseases and even death.Only the aristocrats who served as captains on the ship were less likely to get sick—this was related to the variety of food they ate, and it was rare to have good things to eat first at sea.

Although Mei Rong didn't have a more accurate test, but Red Yi Dashi doesn't like to grow vegetables on the deck, and the crew can't eat fresh vegetables and meat for a long time. This is a clear proof that it will definitely affect their health.

In the face of the investigation data, the chief of staff of the Sea God Army had no choice but to pass the decision to grow vegetables on the deck.
