Chapter 230

The gathered people gradually dispersed, and the people of Yutai village in the prison came out one by one.

Seeing Yue Yun, an old woman suddenly knelt down on the ground and said to Yang Chengye, "Mr. assassin, this business of selling private salt has nothing to do with Yue Yun. I told him to do it. People in the village are old. Young people join the army. They are killed when they go fishing. The rest of us are old people who can't grow land. We can get some food by selling private salt."

"Mother, what are you doing? Your Highness has forgiven us." Yue Yun is rather embarrassed.

"What!" the old woman looked at the three people outside the door, two of whom he didn't know, while Yang Chengye had a bitter smile on her face.

Seeing the old woman looking at her, Yang Chengye said with a bitter smile, "Yue Yun is right. This is his Royal Highness the king of Qi. If you want to thank him, thank him."

Excited, the old woman turned to Xiao Ming and was about to kowtow.

At this time, xiao ming helped the old woman up and said, "you don't have to do this big gift. Your life can't go on. It's the king's fault. This time I came to Dengzhou just to solve the problem of Japanese pirates."

The old woman was even more excited when she heard the words, "is what your highness said true?"

Xiao Ming nodded.

At this time, Pang Yukun said: "Your Highness, this is not the place to speak. We'd better go back to the government. The complexity of Dengzhou is no worse than that of Cangzhou."

Yang Chengye immediately returned to his senses and said, "Your Highness, Pang Changshi is right. There are always pirates in Dengzhou city. Let's go back and talk about it."

Let the other villagers go back first. Xiao Ming takes Yue Yun and the old woman to the Yamen.

As they sat down again, Xiao Ming asked, "you are all from Dengzhou. Now let's talk about the sea area around Dengzhou."

"I'll tell you." Yue Yun said gallantly that he was not only forgiven for his crime, but also joined the army. He was excited and wanted to show his enthusiasm. "When my grandfather was fishing at sea, the Japanese pirates in this area were not so rampant, but when the father of CaoMing was his generation, there were more Japanese pirates in this area. Later, when we went out to sea, we often encountered Japanese pirates' ships, as long as we were hit by them See, not dead, also can be caught to serve as coolie

"Your Highness, according to the time, it's almost the same. The killing of the envoys from Dayu to Korea happened more than 20 years ago." Said Pang.

Xiao Ming nodded and asked, "what are these Japanese pirates like? What about the boat? "

"These Japanese pirates wear clogs, their hair stands up, their forehead is bare, and their clothes are different from those of the state of Dayu." Yue Yun said.

Xiao Ming drew the kimono with a pen and paper, and said, "is it like this?"

"Yes, that's the dress." Yue Yun pointed and said, "as for their boat, we all call it an Zhai boat. This kind of boat seems to have built a house on it."

"Home boat?"

Xiao Ming knows the name. In the data of the science and Technology Library, there is a record of this boat, which looks like what Yue Yun said.

After Yue Yun finished, Yang Chengye said, "Your Highness, these Japanese pirates not only kill people and steal goods at sea, but also often go ashore to rob. We have also found traces of Japanese pirates in Dengzhou several times, but the number is small, but it is said that there are a lot of Japanese pirates in the rich south."

"It's all because Dengzhou is poor. Otherwise, how can these Japanese pirates let Dengzhou go?" Yue Yun said, biting his teeth.

Then, the three told Xiao Ming something about the sea. Xiao Ming also asked some fishermen what kinds of fish they caught. Because of the limitation of fishing level, fishermen can only catch some small fish, such as Mingtai fish, which is a kind of offshore fish, and abalone. However, because abalone needs diving to catch, its yield is very small.

In modern times, the Dengzhou generation is rich in abalone. Because of the difficulty in transportation and storage, the abalone is absolutely a luxury. Because of this, the fishermen can make a living by fishing.

However, with the increase of the number of coastal Japanese pirates, fishermen rarely venture to catch abalone in the sea.

Nowadays, Xiao Ming is faced with many difficulties, and all things are useless. Under the pressure of the northern barbarians, he has to devote too much energy to the naval construction. Therefore, the purpose of the Galen ship is to expel the Japanese pirates in the coastal waters in addition to carrying out ocean trade to obtain potatoes and other crops.

Moreover, ten years of the army and one hundred years of the navy are not just a joke. Yue Yun and other people still dare not leave the land too far when they are sailing at sea.

In fact, why do Japanese pirates often appear here? The answer is obvious, because these Japanese pirates also travel along the coastline.

Out of the coastline, they are likely to sail into the sea and never come back.

Therefore, when making the fleet sail on the ocean, Xiao Ming had to teach these people how to distinguish the direction on the sea, which was a very deep knowledge.

After a brief understanding of Dengzhou and the situation at sea, Xiao Ming said to Yue Yun, "if you want to be familiar with the fishing village in Dengzhou, like the governor, you should cooperate with the governor to recruit crew."

"Yes, your highness, it's just that if they don't want to? After all, they are scared by the Japanese pirates. " Yue Yun said.

Xiao Ming said with a faint smile: "this is a good thing. I won't force you to join my navy, but you can take them to Qingzhou with me. If they see the warship and go, I will let them go. What do you say?""Well, that's OK." Yue Yun said excitedly.

After talking about recruiting sailors, Xiao Ming thought of lvluo. He said to lvluo behind him, "by the way, lvluo, which village are you from?"

When he looked back, he saw that lvluo was crying.

Lu Luo said: "Your Highness, I'm from Yutai village. Aunt, do you remember me? I'm Meng Haiqiu."

At this time, the old woman came back to see Xiang lvluo and said, "what did you say?"

This time, lvluo came to the old woman and said, "aunt, I'm Meng Haiqiu, Meng Kuo's daughter."

Smell speech, Yue Yun a pair of can't believe ground appearance, say: "are you autumn son?"

Green Luo nodded, said: "cloud elder brother, I am autumn son?"

The old woman became excited gradually. She said, "are you really qiu'er?"

Green Luo nodded again, she said: "it's me, aunt, Brother Yun, where's my brother?"

"Dead!" Mention this, Yue Yun's face suddenly gloomy come down.

The old woman looked at lvluo. She seemed to see what lvluo looked like when she was a child. He said angrily to Yue Yun, "don't talk nonsense, qiu'er, your brother..."

Speaking of this, she seems unable to go on.

Yue Yun said angrily, "it's better to die. Your brother has become the leader of the Japanese pirates since he was born. You are an ungrateful bastard. You have the right to treat him as dead."
