Li Donglin was busy reading Ming history manuscripts. Of course, he was in charge of receiving the two pirate kings before the public, but after the public, he exchanged opinions with He Wenxiu, and no one else would say anything.

After all, they are colleagues, and discussing government affairs is their daily routine.

After He Wenxiu and Li Donglin spent a little time reading the manuscripts of Ming history, they immediately jointly wrote a booklet, saying that although they were small in number, only about 20 in total, this was still counting the number of women and children. When conquering the Great Ming Dynasty, it is true that there were few people.

No Manchu can conquer Daming with such a small number of people, and the Manchu only rides and shoots. In terms of force value, it is impossible to compare with them.

The reason why the Manchus were able to win the Great Ming Dynasty was the key to those powerful gentry.These people, for their own self-interest, can give up the interests of the country and the nation, and become lackeys and accomplices of other races, so that when Nanming perished, many men were not even as strong as the singers in the teaching workshop, while forcing their wives Women died for their country, and at the same time bowed their knees to offer sacrifices to foreign races, and some even became pawns of foreign races.

Therefore, whether it is He Wenxiu or Li Donglin, they said that it is not difficult to seize the country, but the difficulty lies in governance.The difficulty of governance lies in governing people.

The question is how to cure it.

While He Wenxiu and Li Donglin were playing in front of Zhao Changqing, Mrs. Qing and Shao Feng were wandering on the pier.Naturally, it was inevitable to see two pearl divers walking past them openly.

Shao Feng was stunned at the time, but Mrs. Qing couldn't help stopping one of the pearl divers: "Sorry, may I ask, are there pearls on this island?"

The pearl-digging girl who was stopped was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Exactly. This area is a pearl field outside the court. Why do you ask this?"

Mrs. Qing hesitated for a moment, and said: "But, but I heard that the county government has no female relatives."

"But women are not the only ones who can do it."

Mrs. Qing was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask again, but the pearl diver was dragged away by her companion, and she immediately said goodbye with a smile and left.

Shao Feng said: "Madam, did you remember the past?"

Mrs. Qing said: "Yes. Who doesn't know the name of Hepu Nanzhu?"

Mrs. Qing came from Guangdong and Guangxi, and what is the most famous specialty of Guangdong and Guangxi, most people today think it is Guangdong embroidery, but in fact, since ancient times, the pillar industry of Guangdong and Guangxi has not been embroidery, but Nanzhu, Hepu Nanzhu.This kind of sea pearl has been a tribute from Baiyue since ancient times. However, there is no pearl cultivation technology in Dongtu. Therefore, the tribute pearl can only rely on the traditional pearl fishing industry.And this traditional pearl fishing industry, it can be said, is filled with human lives.

Because they only know how to obtain pearls but not how to protect them, and even the methods of picking pearls are wrong, which makes the resources of pearl oysters in Hepu South Pearl less and less. Nowadays, the local pearl people in Hepu must dive deep enough if they want to pick pearls. , and at this depth, the lives of pearl divers may be threatened by sharks, sea snakes and other creatures at any time.

Mrs. Qing is well aware of the dangers of the pearl-digging industry, so when she saw these two pearl-diversing women, she couldn't help but walk towards the place where the two pearl-diversing women came from.

Mrs. Qing originally thought that the pearl field should be a little far from the island. At the very least, a small boat should take the pearl divers to a place a certain distance from the coastline, and then the pearl divers would jump off the boat to pick pearls.

Because she had seen such a situation when she was in Guangdong and Guangxi.She never expected that she would see such a scene: the wooden pier was not built along the coastline, but extended all the way into the sea, and extended into the sea several ways at the same time.The pearl-diversing girls just put on water jackets, just drilled into the bottom of the water from the pier, and some people stretched out their hands and fished out a bunch of things from the water.

With sharp eyes, Shao Feng immediately realized that it was a cage of pearl mussels, which was housed in a big bamboo cage like a grasshopper cage.Several large bamboo cages are strung together, because they are too heavy, so that it takes two or three strong men to lift these cages containing pearl oysters out of the water. Hold it down.
