Liang Dongyi asked: "I saw a lot of fish in the water just now, why didn't they do it?" ”

Shui Mei shook the tail of the fish and said, "They came here specifically to catch oil fish, if they want to catch fish and eat, then there is no need to go so far." ”

"Fire oil fish?"

Shui Mei pointed ahead and said, "That's the kind of one." ”

Liang Dongyi looked in the direction of her finger, and saw a round fish, bulging like a ball, and it may not be able to hold it with both hands together.

Shui Mei introduced: "There is a huge sac in the fire oil fish, which is full of a kind of fish oil that can be burned, and our Hai family relies on burning this fish oil to stir-fry. When burning, there is almost no smoke in this fish oil, it is very clean, and when we catch a fire oil fish, its oil is enough for us to use for half a month. This time, we also found a special fire oil fish in the breeding pond of Xihai Crystal City, and we also brought back the fry.

"The West Sea special fire oil fish grows fast and has more fish oil on its body, so it can be raised in the breeding area. This time, not only the fire oil fish was brought back, but there were also more than a dozen special fry. These fry are all being raised, and if they can all be fed, then the living standard of our sea tribe will be much improved. ”

It seems that this trip to the West Sea is too important for the Sea Tribe, not only to transform Dan to increase the number of the Sea Tribe's population, but also to these seeds and fish fry are also the key to the development of the Sea Tribe.

Liang Dongyi saw two sea tribesmen fishing for shells and conch near a coral bush, and asked, "What are they collecting these for?" ”

"Shells and conch shells can be smashed into powder, poured in special fish glue and stirred evenly, and then poured into molds, which can be used to make bricks after solidification. Using different molds, it is possible to make a variety of appearances, and it is a very strong building material. Those houses of our Sea Tribes were built of these materials. ”

"No wonder, I just said that those shell houses and conch houses in the city are so big, where can I find so many natural shells. It turned out to be a fake. ”

It was an extremely light and sturdy material, and the houses in Coral City had been around for an unknown number of years, but they were still durable and as clean as new.

They went to the Sea Clan's farm again, where the magic array force field was divided into different box areas, and each box area was not connected to each other.

Several farms do not raise fish, but instead have large patches of green seagrass, kelp, and in some areas even dark green water.

Shui Mei pointed to the dark green box area and said, "That's a small floating seaweed that grows very fast, and these can be used as feed for fish." The fast-growing seaweed was also brought back from the West Sea Crystal City. Throw a handful into the breeding tank area, and it will not take ten days to grow the entire tank.

"It really scared us at first, because we were afraid that the fast-growing algae would leak out, and I was afraid that it would be a disaster if the whole sea would be covered with this algae in the near future. But later, Elder Zhang found a way to control the growth rate of this algae from the books he brought back, and also hit a spell to kill the fast-growing algae in the entire sea area.

"That's why we can plant with confidence, but we still have to be very careful, and the algae box has a few force field walls. Don't let it leak out, or it will be more troublesome. ”

Liang Dongyi swam closer and saw fingernail-sized green algae floating in the sea water in the box area, and said, "I'll discuss this with Elder Zhang when I go back." Breeders must have strict specifications and procedures for taking and releasing fast algae. ”

The other dozen or so boxes are all breeding different kinds of fish, and Liang Dongyi saw a large school of fire oil fish in one box area, which only grew to the size of a fist. After this batch of fire oil fish is raised, there is no need for the sea people to look for and catch fire oil fish everywhere.

Liang Dongyi took a look at the production and breeding areas of the sea tribe. I have a certain understanding of the life of the Sea Tribe. He and Shui Mei returned to Coral City, and at this time, many sea tribesmen at the city gate returned with a full load, carrying the harvested vegetables and caught fish to pay the city tax at the gate.

When Liang Dongyi found the octopus. He was talking to the owner at a paper mill.

"Patriarch!" When everyone saw Liang Dongyi coming in, they all stroked their chests and bent down to salute.

Liang Dongyi also bowed slightly, walked over and touched the newly produced paper, the paper was thick and the surface was rough, and the craftsmanship level was still quite poor. "These papers are all taken from the bottom of the sea."

The owner of the paper mill hurriedly said: "Exactly, all the materials are taken from the bottom of the sea. My family has been making paper for generations when they were on land, and after moving to Coral City, we have been looking for papermaking materials in the sea and improving several material formulas, but the paper produced so far is not satisfactory. ”

Liang Dongyi looked at the paper in his hand and said: "Although these are not as good as those on land, they can also be used, which is very good!" ”

"We are now supporting several workshops such as weaving, oil extraction, and paper making, and we are also building a salt farm on a desert island. All industries are in the initial stage. Patriarch, why don't we go back to the yamen and talk about it in detail. ”

"It's good!"

They left the paper workshop and walked to the yamen, which was not far away. Now the population of the Sea Clan and the Jieshi Village are not large, and although there are more than 40,000 houses in Coral City, almost all of them are empty.

Back in the yamen, Liang Dongyi said: "Elder Zhang, it's not okay to only charge 10% of the entry tax, you can't run at all." ”

Elder Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "Patriarch, it would be good if you reminded me earlier, now I want to raise the tax rate, and this tax is not enough at all." ”

The proportion of tax revenue to GDP in countries on the earth is generally not less than 20%, and octopuses only collect 10% of the entry tax, which is obviously insufficient. "I'll bring some books on tax history and tax system from the outside world, and you can find someone to take a good look at it and design a plan suitable for our sea clan."

Liang Dongyi said: "Of course, these are not difficult to solve, the important thing is that our population is still too small. ”

Octopus said: "I also take this into account, now they are all young men and women who have bought slave camps, and the proportion of the population of the Sea Tribes who are suitable for marriage and childbearing is very high, and after these young men and women get married and have children, the population of the Sea Tribes will begin to grow naturally." ”

Liang Dongyi nodded and said: "This is one aspect, but this is still too slow, you flip through the alchemy books and see if you can find a prescription for transforming the pill." The Hundred Herbs Garden is suitable for cultivating all kinds of medicinal herbs, and I am also cultivating alchemists on a large scale, so I may not be able to produce a grandmaster-level alchemist in the future, and I will have the opportunity to refine the Transformation Pill. ”

Octopus said excitedly: "If Patriarch you cultivate a Grandmaster-level alchemist, then our Sea Clan will be truly revived. Danfang is available in books, but medicinal herbs are not easy to find. Later, when I settle down completely, I'll send someone to look for it. ”

"In the future, I will come to Coral City once every half a month, and when I am not there, if there is an emergency, I can send someone to the Jieshi Village Dawn War Group to send a message, and they can contact me at any time." (To be continued.) )
