[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

He doesn't know what happened in Yangzhou for the time being, but what is certain is that it is developing in a good direction. It may be that Lin Ruhai has found a good husband and wants to propose marriage to Lin Daiyu, or it may be that Lin Daiyu accidentally met a suitable lover. A glimpse or something.

Because the progress bar is rising, and Xia Anran is a foreigner, I am really embarrassed to ask Lin Jue, what is your sister doing recently?

...If you ask this question, even if it is a lifesaver, Lin Jue will beat him.

The results of the autumn harvest in Yongchun County were reported, and Xia Anran checked that it was slightly higher than the same period last year. However, this all depends on the fact that the weather is relatively smooth this year, and it has nothing to do with Xia Anran. The fertilizer farmers who promoted it after he came did not dare Vegetables grow quite well when piled in the rice fields, but all dynasties have used rice and wheat to judge their merits, not vegetables.

Xia Anran didn't take it seriously, and piled the collected taxes into the granary in Yongchun County, and it was filled to the brim immediately. Most of it was the taxes to be paid by Yongchun County this year, and the rest still had some Yongchun reserves Food is used for emergency use, after all, this is a disaster-prone area.

After a period of time, the tax will be collected by government officials from various counties and put into the government treasury. At that time, the Fujian Chief Envoy will send someone to collect it.

The duties of the county magistrate are almost to educate the people and collect taxes.

When Yongchun was in full swing and started to build the wall, Xia Anran received a letter from Xue Pan.

It seems that the inscription letter was mailed in August this year, but it took two full months to get it to him because it was a Minyi.

It was written in the letter that Jia Baoyu was finally going to take the scientific examination, Jia Zheng also ordered to study and be released as an official, and Baochai had already entered the palace to be elected, but the most important thing was that Xue Pan was coming to southern Fujian.

Xue's food shop has already opened in the Central Plains. Xue Pan came here to spread out the southern market and promote products. Xue Ling stayed in Shangjing to sit in town. Xue Pan felt that there was a good brother and a local snake here, so he came to join the local snake.

Xia Anran silently looked at the signature, it was the 22nd of the eighth lunar month, and then looked at the current time, more than a month had passed.

He received the letter, I'm afraid it wasn't true, the person will arrive in a few days!

Among other things, Xue Pan is probably going to Fuzhou to start business when he comes to southern Fujian. Where is the largest port in the south, that is, Nantai Port where Shen Qi is stationed. Although sea trade is not allowed in this dynasty, domestic transportation is still possible. From Nantai Port to Guangzhou Port in the south of Lingnan and Yantai Port in Shandong to the north.The flow of people there is huge, and the merchants come from all over the world, and the influence is also great.

If it can be promoted, it will be extremely beneficial to the Xue family's industry.

Because foreign trade is prohibited in this dynasty, the ship must get the date stamp stamped by the government to set sail. It is stipulated that it must arrive at the next port within a few days. The merchants are all extra cautious. If the typhoon is approaching, the ship will not leave the port. They are afraid that the time will be delayed at sea and they will not be able to tell. Xue Pan may also come for this time. Now is the time when typhoons are high in Fujian. During this period of time, a large number of merchants will gather in Nantai Port.

The businessmen staying idle are also idle, and it is also a good opportunity to communicate with each other.

Xia Anran thought for a while, and found someone to find a house in Yongchun to make a decision first. Even if Xue Pan was going to Nantai Port, he would definitely stay in Yongchun County for a few days. He thought, take this opportunity , Push out the products of Yongchun.

Yongchun County is adjacent to Anxi County, and there are also a lot of tea trees, but Anxi Tieguanyin has already become famous at this time. Although Yongchun County has similar geographical conditions to Anxi, but selling tea next door to a big tea county can only be ridiculed. up.

And if this is really the case, let alone whether Yongchun can bite the market, it will be difficult for him to tell the past in front of Zhizhou. As far as the state government is concerned, internal fighting will be very disadvantageous.

Fortunately, the county magistrate of Yongchun is Xia Anran, he knows the future development trend of Yongchun better than anyone else.

Yongchun old vinegar is a good target for development.

For this reason, he persuaded several vinegar makers to sell the old vinegar to him, Xia Anran was planning to spread the reputation of the old vinegar.

Moreover, Yongchun Old Vinegar has a natural advantage that cannot be matched by other vinegars.

Yongchun old vinegar has natural antiseptic properties and is not afraid of long-distance transportation.

People in Yongchun have never heard of someone whose vinegar can be made rancid.

The most troublesome problem in the circulation of goods between the north and the south is the preservation of freshness. Since the vinegar can be preserved, the first pass can be passed.

The second hurdle is to make northerners accept the taste of vinegar.

In fact, the problem is not too big. The taste of Shanxi mature vinegar, which occupies the northern market, is even stronger. Wouldn’t the northerners also accept it?

Yongchun vinegar tasted softer and longer, Xia Anran judged with his tongue that has been eaten all over the country, the taste of this vinegar is not bad, but it mainly depends on whether Xue Pan approves it.

If it is approved, Yongchun County will be able to mass-produce it on a large scale. It is definitely not possible to use the current small-scale decentralized production. The taste of a product must be uniform and recognizable.

It's just that this is a matter of the future. It will take four or five years for Gein's old vinegar to taste good.

Another well-known specialty of Yongchun in later generations is mandarin oranges, but mandarin oranges are not grown in Yongchun now. Yongchun County is made of brick laterite, and the groundwater level in the hilly area is low, which is very suitable for planting mandarin oranges... It's a pity , Now these places grow bergamot.

But Xia Anran knows one thing, which is quite famous in later generations, bergamot tea.

It is said that in the Song Dynasty, an eminent monk in Anxi County grafted tea leaves on bergamot. After brewing, the tea leaves will have the fragrance of bergamot. As the first tea in China's Olympic bid for later generations, it is not obvious in China, but because of limited production, Most of it was used to earn foreign exchange.

But the main reason is that most domestic consumers prefer green tea, while oolong tea is more popular in Taiwan, Japan, the United Kingdom and other countries.

Gain oolong tea is fermented tea, which is easier to store and transport than green tea before modern preservation technology was invented.

Especially in ocean transportation, in the late Qing Dynasty, most domestic commerce was dominated by oolong tea. Because of the impact of the tea trade in India, Russia and other countries at that time, the local tea frying process was cracked. At that time, tea farmers found a new way to produce oolong tea.

It doesn't matter. The advantage is that bergamot tea can be picked in all seasons. In his era, bergamot tea also became famous in the Qing Dynasty, but now it is only a tea species for Fujian people to entertain themselves, and it is a niche hobby.

Fujian is a province that produces tea all over the province, but Wuyi tea is the most respected. The Anxi Tieguanyin of later generations is now considered a small transparent, struggling to survive under the halo of Wuyi tea.

But the market Xia Anran faces is different from that of Tieguanyin.

He was going to attack the female relatives.

He has already written the letter, and he is going to entrust Xue Pan to hand it over to the Lin family on his return trip, and entrust Jia Min to try to make a name for himself in the ladies' circle.

The fruity bergamot tea is nourishing and gentle, and it is friendly to girls.

Xia Anran will not ignore the women's market that businessmen in this era ignore.The hand-chopping army of later generations is basically supported by women, and women can hold up half the sky.

It's a pity that just after Xia Anran hastily prepared everything, it wasn't Xue Pan who was waiting, but Japanese pirates.

On the tenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, Japanese pirates came to disturb the border. Because Yongchun County and Hai'an County are separated by Xinghua Mansion, the people of Yongchun didn't notice it at first, but Xia Anran only found out that there were people from other counties who came to seek refuge. Sure enough, there was a war, and I heard from the people that the bandits were coming in such a fierce way this time, that there were more than a dozen wooden boats, and they specially chose to attack Hong Kong before sunrise. Fortunately, the Fujian garrison had already prepared, so they were not attacked. I was caught off guard.

The most anxious place of the war is Nantai Port where Shen Qi is stationed. This port is the largest deep-water port in southern Fujian, and it is also the most suitable place to land. The Japanese pirates chose to land here.

And intend to use this as a starting point to attack Fuzhou.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a blow as soon as they landed.

The Japanese pirates naturally sent people to investigate before. At that time, the city walls of Fuzhou Prefecture had not been reinforced. They were just ordinary stone walls, mainly to resist typhoons, and they were not built high. was caught off guard.

The arrows couldn't hit them, but the city defenders hit them accurately. During the encounter, the Japanese swords hit the city wall without leaving any marks. The Japanese did not want to attack the city by force.

In ancient battles, if you can't attack the city, you generally don't attack it. Most of them use methods such as siege or aggressive generals to force the generals out of the city to fight.

Throughout the ages, the attackers suffered heavy losses in siege battles, and the few accidents occurred when the attackers had siege weapons that caught the defenders by surprise.

Do Japanese pirates have them? They don't.

Not only do they have no siege tools, they can't even fill it with human life.

But if they are allowed to return without success, they are really unwilling.

It is calculated that the autumn harvest season is over, and the purpose is to grab food.

The leaders turned their minds, Nantai Port cannot be defeated, we might as well go to the next place.

But will Garrison let them run?Of course not, these are all human heads, and they are all military exploits!

Relying on the advantage of the city wall, the pawns on the wall opened their bows to keep people. At this time, the Japanese found that there was a commotion in the direction of the wooden boat that they had originally hidden. It was the cry of the people who stayed behind to watch the boat.

It turned out that when they were attacking the city, a group of men and horses went out to sea in a small boat and went around behind the Japanese boat, forcing the Japanese to break the boat. Now the Japanese had to attack the city if they didn't want to. If you don't move forward, you can only die.

The Japanese were aroused to be fierce, and the garrison was not a vegetarian, so the battle lasted for more than three days.

As a result, the Japanese were wiped out.

The Fujian garrison confiscated a large number of Japanese knives.

The sword forging technology of this dynasty lags behind that of Japan. This batch of Japanese swords is enough for the forging craftsmen to study the secrets of Japanese swords.

No one died in the Fujian garrison in this campaign, only 13 were seriously injured and 46 were slightly injured, in exchange for the death of [-] Japanese.

With such a result, it can be said that it has won a complete victory, and the victory is attributed to the top of the city wall that the Governor of Fujian used sanhe soil to strengthen the city wall that can block arrows and Japanese knives.

"Don't take it lightly." The governor of Fujian said at the post-war meeting, "Although the thieves have lost their feathers this year, they are likely to come back next year. This year we blocked them with city walls, and next year they will prepare siege engines."

He called Shen Qi's name, "Shen Tong knows that you have made meritorious service in the shipbuilding, and I will write down a note for you."

The name of Shen Qi he specially named was naturally not just about the boat-building, in fact, Shen Qi also contributed to offering the three-component clay, but it is difficult to explain this clearly, and there were some generals who opposed it at the time.

The governor thought about it in his heart, and then asked the military medical officer, "How is the treatment of the wounded?"

Li Dongbi smiled happily when he heard the words, "I would like to report to the governor, there are 59 people, there is no pus, and none of them are serious, just wait for the cultivation to recover."

"Oh?" The governor was a little surprised. Although it is the first ten days of October in the lunar calendar, Fujian is located in the south and it is warm. Now the soldiers still jump into the water to take a bath.

The sergeants knew how well their wounds healed, and pus was slightly less in winter, but it was almost impossible in warm weather.

But even so, there were wounds with festering in the middle of winter, and there was no such thing as this time that none of the wounded had festered.

At that moment, an officer asked this question, and Doctor Li expressed his conjecture, "Firstly, this time the soldiers carried triangular scarves on their bodies, and when they had wounds, they bandaged them by themselves to prevent the dirt from entering. It may be that the method recommended by Lord Xia, magistrate of Yongchun County, has had miraculous effects."

"Oh?" The Governor of Fujian raised his eyebrows, and after thinking for a moment, he asked Shen Qi, "This Yongchunxia county magistrate...is Hongrui's friend?"

Shen Qi, who had been sitting upright with no expression on his face, raised his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttered like feathers, and he cupped his hands at the governor who was interrogating, "My lord, it is my friend and the person who created Sanhetu. "

The Governor of Fujian, who was confirmed, was even more interested. He nodded to the military medical officer, "This county magistrate Xia, what method do you recommend?"

So that night, a fast horse galloped from Xuzhou to Yongchun.
