Chapter 897： Old things

The hawker took the money, was happy in his heart, took out the stance of storytelling, and said in a low voice and excitement: "Outside, this Yu Zhizhou has been in Guangdong since he was a county magistrate, and has been in business for 20 years, even if his ancestral home is not in Guangdong, It can be regarded as a local snake, the prefect was appointed after the establishment of the new dynasty, he is a newcomer, although he has a high official position, he has to listen to Yu Zhizhou."

The hawker said: "The prefect is a good official. I just came here for half a year and knew that the fishermen who moved in were not living well, so I discussed with General Wang Can to relax the sea ban and let the fishermen go to the sea, so that I can pick up some seafood and exchange for some food. Something like that, but Yu Zhizhou disagreed, saying that he was afraid of pirates killing people.

"Pirates also like to go ashore to kill people at high tide. This is indeed a problem. The prefect has discussed with General Wang to bring the navy to the sea for training, which can also be regarded as a support for the fishermen.

"The fishermen are very grateful. They have a bad life. People starve to death almost every day. They say that it is better to go to the sea to fight than to starve to death. Even if they are killed by pirates, it is better than being eaten after starvation. stronger."

Mu Yangling was surprised and asked, "Have people eaten people at that time?"

The peddler sighed, "No, life was so sad at that time, the new dynasty changed, we just finished a war, we still have two acres of thin fields, and I have a craft, so I can't starve to death, those fishermen's ability is to fight Fishing, isn't it killing people if you don't tell them to fish?"

"The sea has been banned for twenty years..."

"Those are all forbidden ports, and the remote coasts cannot be restrained. The officers and soldiers also know that people's livelihood is difficult, so they all turn a blind eye to the fishermen to catch the sea, and some fishermen save face among the officers and soldiers. He can go into the sea with a small fishing boat and catch a lot of fish, so although the life of the big guy is difficult, if you don’t have enough food and clothing, you won’t starve to death.”

The hawker whispered: "But at that time, Yu Zhizhou didn't know what to do, and all these coasts were banned, and not a fisherman was allowed in. Everyone had no work and had to wait to die. At that time, the Guanyin outside the city. The temple is full of fishermen who ask for Guanyin soil, but if they eat too much, they will die, and many children just can’t bear the hunger and eat one more bite, and their lives will be lost…”

Tears flashed in Mu Yangling's eyes, her face was frosty, and the guards behind her also looked very ugly, so the peddler looked at them in fright.

One of the guards patted him on the shoulder soothingly, and said, "This is the first time our wife has heard this. She loves the child and scare you? You can buy some wine with this money to suppress the shock."

The hawker hurriedly took it and said with a smile, "It's alright now, Mr. Fan is the grandfather of the country, and Yu Zhizhou will definitely not dare to deceive him like he did to the former prefect. With the prince here, everyone has a way to survive."

Mu Yangling asked, "Who is General Wang Cang you just said?"

"That's a hero. When he was there before, although they always defeated pirates, they always won two or three times out of ten. Those pirates were also scruples and didn't dare to go too far, but he was framed by others. The greedy Mexican army lost his office."

"How do you know it's a false accusation?"

"Is there any question? You can see it with your eyes. If he was greedy for the army's salary, his family would be so poor? I heard from the old dealer that General Wang Shen not only did not greedy for ink, but also gave the navy some weapons with his family's money. , otherwise the navy will not be able to do anything."

"Your prefect was killed in battle. He is the prefect, how could he be on the battlefield?" Mu Yangling asked.

"I don't know about this. I only know that the pirates were always harassing the coast at that time. The prefect and General Zhou took people to fight the pirates, and the prefect died."

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, he took out a handful of copper coins and said with a smile: "It's hard for you to remember so many words, go back and tell the person behind you, and say I remember these words."

The peddler's face stiffened, and he said with a smile: "My wife is joking, where is the person behind me?"

Mu Yangling didn't argue, just turned around and left with a smile. The hawker was relieved to see that they were far away, and hurriedly took the stall and went home.

The guard asked Mu Yangling, "Princess, are they waiting for us here on purpose?"

Mu Yangling smiled and said, "I wasn't sure before, but now I'm sure. I'm afraid there are many people in this market waiting to tell me the same story."

"What's the purpose? To complain to General Wang?"

"No matter what the reason is, as long as it is the truth, tell the matter to the grandfather and let him handle it."

"Won't the princess tell the prince?"

Mu Yangling shook his head, "This is about Guangdong, the prince and I are only here to save the country, and I don't look down on them, our behavior is too sneaky, now Yu Cheng is suppressed by the prince and the prince, they are big You can go to the government office to file a complaint, or go to the Fan residence to find the grandfather and the prince, but stop me on the way to a woman."

The guard opened his mouth and said, "Niangniang, they may think that you can decide this matter."

Mu Yangling said in amazement, "How can I be a woman and a Taoist family?"

Mu Yangling has always felt that she is a virtuous internal assistant. Although he often gives Qi Haoran advice, it is limited to advice and will not interfere in his business. It is natural for him to listen to him. Guarantee that what he said is correct, maybe the way he is going is the correct one?

So she always felt like she was a standard housewife.

But everyone obviously didn't understand it that way. In just one night, the navy who came back with Mu Yangling spread her archery and strength throughout the city of Guangzhou. Her current image is extremely glorious, and no one would believe that she would not interfere with the prince. If she didn't intervene, how could she follow the prince to Guangdong and go to sea to save people?

Obviously, the standards of both sides are not in the same degree.

"The lady, are we still going shopping?"

Mu Yangling thought for a while, then smiled: "We also go to the port to join in the fun."

At this time, the peddler was annoyed and said to the old peddler: "Uncle Ping, I revealed my deeds, do you think it will hurt the general's affairs?"

The old trader sighed: "It's all luck, but Princess Rongjun shouldn't be such a stingy person. Let's wait for two days and see. If no one comes, it means that we and the general are out of luck."

The hawker gritted his teeth, "Then we've been so useless all this time?"

The old peddler drank his tea and remained silent. General Wang Shen wanted to stand out. Those who followed him were not willing to be mediocre. If they could not go back to the navy, some of them would just go out to sea and become pirates.

This was the situation he didn't want to see the most, and that's why he designed this meeting. There were many of their people on that street. Princess Rongjun didn't stop at their stall, but also at other stalls. If she Not interested in these, he also has a way to pass the words to her, he counted everything, the only thing he didn't count was that the princess guessed that they did it on purpose.

The old trader sighed, that's why he said it was luck, he had tried his best, and things didn't work out, although he regretted it, he didn't regret it.
