Chapter 286 Products in the Sea (6,000 Words)
"What's the fuss! This is what four or five hundred catties look like! Zou Yu glared at Lu Mingyue and said.
"Lord Wang! It's been a long time! If you catch fish for a day like this, I'm afraid this boat won't be able to fit it, right? Lu Mingyue was about to cry with excitement, and pulled Zou Yu to gesture excitedly.
Whether it is a soldier or a general, most of them have farmed the land, so they all know that food is not easy to come by, and they also cherish food very much. Now that there is suddenly such a way, and the huge harvest is in front of us, everyone is excited.
"It depends on luck, bad luck, nothing, it's normal! And it must be a big boat, a small boat can't be loaded, the speed is not fast, and it's too deep to pull it. Zou Yu shook his head slightly.
"Enough! As long as you have so many nets a day, it's enough! Lu Mingyue said with a smile showing her big white teeth.
"Nice weather! This time I brought out twenty big nets! Pull a few more nets, familiarize the brothers, and then drive the boats out to fish! Anyway, it's a waste to stop there. Zou Yu looked at the calm sea and said.
"Hey, hey! Good! Lu Mingyue smiled happily, and then shouted for people to tidy up the fishing nets.
The rest of the people were not idle, Zou Yu asked all the fish to be killed, disemboweled, and the internal organs were thrown into the sea. Fish, even if it is dried fish, it has to be killed alive, the taste is good, and when it dies and is broken, the taste will be worse.
A net down, drag a pillar of incense, it takes 20 minutes to close the net, and you have to sort out the fishing net, in fact, this is the most time-consuming, and now it takes half an hour to get it done. That is to say, it will take more than an hour to go down the second network.
"I guess I'll be proficient in the future, and I'll be able to do it faster." Zou Yu secretly guessed.
After another net, seeing that they had all been used, Zou Yu ordered to return and go back to load other ships on the net.
Fishing is just an experiment, one is to see how the effect is, and the other is to let more people go out to sea to fish, increase sailors, and recruit sailors in the future, which is also much more convenient.
When they returned to the port, they were stunned to see the soldiers happily carrying down a large pile of fish.
"Isn't this a trial voyage for the prince? How did it change to fishing! And this is robbing another fish pond, right? "That's what other people are saying.
"What are you doing! Don't help carry the fish down yet! The prince has an order! Let's go eat today! Lu Mingyue shouted loudly.
"Oh! Oooh! Long live the prince! Whether it was the soldiers, the dock workers, or the craftsmen, they immediately cheered excitedly.
Although it is close to the sea, the fish is not open to people to eat, and it is mainly based on coarse grains, which is why they are so excited.
Looking at the sky, there was still a lot of time before it was dark, and Lu Mingyue urged the soldiers to board the boat, install fishing nets, and then go to sea.
Throw the fish into the sea first to attract more fish. As Lu Mingyue, who is begging for a living on the water, of course knows it, so he first let a boat, with internal organs, go to a sea area, throw it down, and wait for a while, other ships will start to round up that sea area from all directions.
This time Zou Yu did not follow the boat, even if he was not seasick, he still liked the feeling of stepping on the ground.
With the guards who also don't like the sea, I came to the beach and looked at the beach at low tide, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in my heart, and my heart seemed to be a little broader. Perhaps this is why many people like to look at the sea, Zou Yu held his chest up and faced the sea breeze, guessing in his heart.
"Huh! What is it? Looking at the objects on the beach, Zou Yu walked over and picked up the sand with his feet, and a large crab was exposed.
The sand was picked up, and the crab immediately got up and rushed towards the sea, but although it had many legs, how could it outrun Zou Yu.
"Poof!" With a soft sound, a big foot fell from the sky and stepped the crab into the sand.
"Haha! Yes, you can eat steamed crab! Zou Yu smiled happily.
There was no need to command, Xi Junmai immediately stepped forward and grabbed the crab, but he knew that what Zou Yu liked to eat must not be bad.
Not only that, but then mussels, crabs, and shrimps were discovered, which made Zou Yu very happy, after all, he has been in Jinyang, and he doesn't want to eat seafood.
"I really don't know what to think, I'm begging for food with a golden rice bowl!" Walking near a rocky beach, Zou Yu couldn't help but sigh anymore.
"What did you say, lord?" Xi Junmai asked, grabbing his hair.
"Go, bring me some of those seas!" Zou Yu shook his head slightly, and instructed Xi Junmai.
"Whoa!" Xi Junmai didn't talk nonsense, and rushed over with two people.
"I'm xxxx" Zou Yu couldn't help but scold! He found that the reef on the shore of the sea was covered with conch-like things.
"Go! Get me the conch off those reefs! Zou Yu continued to command.
"Lord Wang!" After a while, Xi Junmai dragged a large bag of kelp onto the shore.
"Lord Wang, how do you eat this?" Xi Junmai asked with wide eyes.
"Good stuff, cold salad! Stew! You can cook after drying, and I heard that you won't get big neck disease after eating! Zou Yu swallowed and said.
Cold salad kelp shreds, but I haven't eaten them for a long time, cold salad pig ears, it's not bad to add a little! Zou Yu kept thinking.
"Hey, hey! That's a little bit more! Xi Junmai suddenly smiled happily and squatted down to tidy up.
"Don't! Don't lose it! Seeing Xi Junmai throw away a black thing, Zou Yu hurriedly stopped.
"What's this?" Xi Jun bought it, picked it up, put it in front of his eyes, looked at it and asked.
"Good stuff! Big supplement! It's called a sea cucumber. Zou Yu picked up a thumb-thick, black sea cucumber, swallowed saliva and said.
"Sea cucumbers? Could it be sea ginseng? Xi Junmai asked with wide eyes. He knows how good ginseng is.
In order to cultivate him, Zou Yu gave him a lot of supplements, which made him much stronger, and he was much stronger than before.
"It's not that powerful, but it's pretty good, it's a good tonic, the key is that it's mild, and the elderly and children can eat it." Zou Yu nodded with satisfaction and said.
"There's still one in the sea, I'll get some more!" After Xi Junmai finished speaking, he immediately rushed into the sea again.
"Haha! And abalone! So big! That's a good thing. Zou Yu grabbed a mussel-like thing from the middle of the kelp and laughed loudly.
Since the prince said it was a good thing, the guards looked at each other, and those who knew how to water rushed to the sea, while others, not idle, ran back to the dock to get buckets.
When Lu Mingyue came to see him excitedly, he saw that the guards were all carrying buckets, which contained seaweed and all kinds of strange things.
"Lord Wang, what are you doing with all this? There are quite a few on the beach every day. Lu Mingyue asked puzzled.
"Eat! These are all good things! Zou Yu glanced at him and sighed. Many of these things had to be touched if they wanted to eat them in their previous lives.
"This means it's okay! The soldiers who have nothing to do often go to the beach to find barbecue and eat, but they don't care much about being full! Lu Mingyue smacked her lips and said.
Zou Yu was not surprised when he heard it, after all, filling his stomach is a big deal, and the people must have tried whether they could eat it, but they didn't know how to deal with it except for boiling it and roasting it, of course, the taste was not very good. In addition, these are all armor and shells, which look a little unsightly, so there are not many people who eat them.
"Look, Lord Wang! In just these two hours, I got tens of thousands of catties of fish! Lu Mingyue smiled proudly and pointed to the mountains of fish in the distance because there was nothing to pack.
"Not bad! Work hard tonight, break all the fish, and hang up! Tomorrow gather a few thousand people in the city to help deal with it, and you work hard and continue fishing. Zou Yu touched his chin and said.
"Whoa!" Lu Mingyue replied loudly.
This wharf is both a shipyard and a military camp, so Zou Yu lived here at night.
Of course, he personally instructed his soldiers to tinker with seafood. Soak all the seafood in water for an hour and then clean it. steamed, abalone, sea crab, shrimp; abalone and sea cucumber porridge; grilled scallops, fish, clams, sand clams; Cold salad with kelp, sea cabbage.
Even if there is not much seasoning, everyone almost bites their tongues when they eat it, and as for Zou Yu, he tasted a little bit of it, and then launched an attack on the rarest sea cucumber, abalone. As for the others, there is still a little bit in the porridge, you can try it.
"Lord Wang! Build more boats, knock down all the coasts, and the people will have enough to eat! Lu Mingyue hugged a big crab, clicked, clicked and bit the crab legs, and then wiped her mouth with satisfaction and said.
"If you think about it too much, you still have to have food to eat, but this can make up for the lack of meat! The key is to have a large amount. Zou Yu tapped his thigh and said.
"That's enough, the fish in this sea is full of salt, even if it is used as a seasoning!" Lu Mingyue said with satisfaction.
His words reminded Zou Yu that the sea fish is full of salt, even if it is used as seasoning salt, it should be welcomed by the people, the dried fish is easy to preserve, easy to transport, and can also be sold in large quantities to the grassland, sold to the Murowei people, or sent out as a reward.
There is another food source, which can also be used as a wage substitute, Zou Yu is suddenly a lot happier. Especially in the construction of the reservoir, there is not a small amount of food and materials consumed there.
Thinking of the people who came to work, he was elated, and he went home with a few dried fish, and Zou Yu was inexplicably happier.
Meimei ate a meal of seafood, listened to the tide in the distance, and fell asleep without much effort. After the morning exercise the next day, Zou Yu ate a bowl of seafood porridge, and Liu Jin and his son came to the dock with a large number of people.
"Lord Wang! His subordinates brought 2,000 people. Liu Jin arched his hand and said.
"Hmmm! General Liu, you ask people to find a nearby place, set up a warehouse, and stack dried fish; In addition, a road was built to lead directly to the county seat, which was convenient for transporting dried fish and seafood. Zou Yu commanded.
Yesterday was a reminiscence, and today is outside, Zou Yu must not be calling Uncle Liu, after all, rules are rules, even if Zou Yu doesn't care, he has to consider Liu Jin's feelings.
"Whoa!" Liu Jin didn't ask much, and immediately agreed to come down and ask people to find a place and arrange how to repair the road.
Of course, building a road does not mean that it is repaired, and you have to check it anyway, after all, it was only a pedestrian before, or there was no road at all. Now transportation inevitably involves the bearing capacity of the road surface, as well as the width.
Of course, Zou Yu doesn't have to worry about this, and Lu Mingyue has already taken a group of excited sailors and is ready to go to sea again and do a big job.
Lu Mingyue took people out to sea, and Zou Yu took Liu Jin and others to the beach again.
"In these offshore places, ordinary fishermen can catch fish, and in addition to spring plowing and autumn harvest, a large number of people can be organized to come to harvest; These sea vegetables, after drying, are transported to the mainland, which is very popular. Zou Yu said, pointing to the kelp near the reef.
"Yes, the salt taste of the sea is strong, and these sea vegetables can be used as salt. Why didn't my subordinates think of it before? Liu Jin frowned and said with annoyance.
"These are good things too, great supplements! Although it is not full, rich people like it very much, and even if most people can't afford it now, they can sell it to generals in the army. Zou Yu introduced the seafood he was familiar with.
Overnight, there were a lot more on the beach, and without Zou Yu's instructions, Xi Junmai had already taken people to the beach to look for it.
"I'm really begging for food with a golden rice bowl!" Liu Jin said sadly, clutching his chest.
"Hey, hey! This is still the one with the least harvest, and when Lu Mingyue comes back, you will know what a harvest is. Zou Yu smiled and said.
"My subordinates heard that Lu Mingyue led people to catch so many fish in a mountain yesterday?" Liu Jin asked.
"It's not so exaggerated, it's just more than 10,000 catties of live fish, and it will be about 10,000 catties when dried fish." Zou Yu said lightly.
"Shhh Liu Jin gasped and said with a surprised face: "Half a day's hard work, you will gain 10,000 catties!" This... This is not growing food, you have to wait for time, and it can be salvaged every day! ”
The more Liu Jin spoke, the more excited he became, looking at the wide sea, as if there were treasures underneath, and looking around with bright eyes.
"It's not so easy, and it's dangerous, the boat can't withstand the wind and waves if it's small, it can't run far, and it can't salvage much; Once there are strong winds and waves, even large boats, it is dangerous, windy waves, rain, these weather also restricts the fishing time. It is impossible to have so many fish every day.
In addition, it is necessary to repair ships, repair nets, and transportation, which also requires a lot of energy and few people. Zou Yu reminded.
"Even so, it's better than nothing! Without fishing boats, this seaside thing can still be salvaged. Liu Jin said firmly.
It can be seen that he is determined to lead the people to make a fortune, which is also exactly what Zou Yu meant.
"Start a rural cooperative! All the people, division of labor and cooperation, the harvest is distributed according to work. This way there is more to gain and less danger.
For example, in this offshore salvage, a group of people together will definitely gain more than one person, and the danger is much less. In case of cramps, there are also people to rescue. Zou Yu commanded.
"The prince is wise!" Liu Jin nodded again and again, and asked Liu Renliang to write it down with him.
"Speaking of danger, in every cooperative, someone dies unexpectedly, and the rest have to help his family. This point should be particularly emphasized, and also! Anyone who picks up the opportunity to do a good job, and those who are corrupt and corrupt will all be sent to mining! Zou Yu admonished.
"Whoa!" Liu Jin hugged his fists seriously.
After discussing the investigation for so long, everything that should be said was said, Zou Yu took people back to the dock, and it happened that Lu Mingyue came back with the first harvest.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! There was a cheer of excitement from the pier.
"Looks like a good harvest!" Zou Yu said as he quickened his pace, there were a lot of delicacies in the sea, he didn't taste them well, and he wanted to eat them all today.
When he came to the dock and looked at the row of docked ships, Zou Yu couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
A huge whale was being pulled to the shore by thousands of people, and the blood was still coming out, making a scarlet rainbow appear on the sea.
"Lord Wang! Catch a big fish! Lu Mingyue shouted excitedly.
"How did you kill it!" Zou Yu asked in surprise.
"This beast came to grab the bait, and his subordinates were frightened, and fearing that they would overturn the boat, so they shot it with a crossbow arrow! Wanted to get rid of it. Who knew that the crossbow arrows were shot in at once, and the animal was in pain and began to make waves, so his subordinates called a few boats and shot dozens of arrows at it!
Good animal, hit twenty or thirty arrows, and almost knocked over a boat, struggled for half an hour, and then there was no movement! Lu Mingyue foamed at the mouth and explained excitedly.
"I'll go! What a bunch of guys who aren't afraid of death! Zou Yu looked at the people and soldiers, and the whale that was trying to drag, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
Such a big guy, if he starts a frenzy, he will definitely be able to knock over a warship in the water, after all, it is almost a third of the size of a battleship. Zou Yu didn't know what kind of species it was, but the strength of fish in the water was very great, and he still knew this.
As the largest creature on the earth, Zou Yu has deliberately looked at its information a few times before, and the whale is a treasure all over his body, and he still knows this.
"Good fellows! That's enough to eat for a few days! Xi Junmai licked his lips and said excitedly.
"It's a good thing, the leather is used to make a wetsuit! The layer of fat under the skin is boiled into oil and used to lubricate the gears! Grind the bones into powder and feed them to the animals! As for the meat, eat it!
The people who came today will share a piece of fish for them to take home, and the other will have five catties of live fish as wages! Zou Yu pulled Lu Mingyue and Liu Jin and ordered.
"Whoa!" The two of them hurriedly wrote it down.
"Go ahead! Check it all out! Zou Yu said to Xi Junmai and the others.
The guards who wanted to see it for a long time, and no one here would cause trouble, so after giving the salute, he rushed over and helped pull the rope, which is also a boast in the future.
A twenty-meter-long whale was pulled onto the beach amid cheers, and then Lu Mingyue shouted at the soldiers, rushed up with a knife, and began to divide the whale. The people also hurriedly went to help carry it.
If it is only a few people, standing in front of the whale, they will definitely be a little scared, but a group of people surrounds, this is a pile of food.
As if it was the New Year, the people were laughing and laughing, carrying whale meat, especially when they knew that they could not only eat it today, but also take it, they were even happier. The people who know how to be grateful will deliberately bow to Zou Yu from a distance.
Although the people of Beisha belong to the Goguryeo people, most of their ancestors are also the people of the Central Plains, so the Central Plains dialect is learned quickly. Of course, this is also inseparable from the regulations of the government, and for the Goguryeo occupation area, the first mandatory provision is to study the Central Plains dialect in a unified manner.
This item is mandatory, and those who are unwilling to learn, or who don't know anything for three months, will be punished or even sent to mining.
In the eyes of the common people, this is not harsh, just learning to speak, but the various benefits of the government are issued, which makes the people happy and even grateful. Others lamented why they didn't call earlier.
From the degree of popularity, it can also be seen that the people of Goguryeo have had a difficult time in recent years.
In fact, it is not surprising that no matter where the people are, they only care about whether they can live their lives, and they also think about the food in the field and the food and clothing of their families every day.
It is true that there are many Goguryeo people who fight bravely and fiercely, and even exclude foreigners, but that is because the Central Plains has always belonged to the attacking side and belonged to the invaders. After Zou Yu implemented the policy and then arrested a batch, the rest naturally became honest.
The propaganda has not stopped, in the hearts of the people, Zou Yu is here to rescue them, belonging to the three emperors and five emperors of ancient times. It is to save the people, to destroy all the co-masters who oppress the people.
Beisha City is a poor and remote place, and it is such a place that Zou Yu brings them hope for a better life. As soon as the boat was unloaded, there was already a mountain of fish, which shocked everyone.
Not far from the wharf, the pile of fish made the people in the past swallow their saliva, secretly guessing how long it would take to eat so many fish!
This pile of fish was unloaded from the boat under the noses of the common people, and it was all alive fish, which was not deliberately faked, and of course, no one doubted it.
With the first batch of fish unloaded, the boat went to sea again, but this time Zou Yu specially told him that he was never allowed to provoke whales again!
"It's incredible! I didn't expect there to be such a behemoth in the sea! Liu Jin smacked his lips and shook his head in disbelief.
"Lord Wang! The subordinates suggested that the fish bones should be kept intact and the games would be held in Jinyang. Liu Renliang, who has always been a little restrained, suggested.
"Lord Wang, the dog has a point." Liu Jin rolled his eyes and hurriedly followed.
"Good! You can do it. Zou Yu looked at the huge whales, immediately understood what they meant, nodded and agreed.
Liu Jin's father and son mean that with the help of this behemoth, they will further increase Zou Yu's prestige, and at the same time, it is also to build momentum, after all, such a big thing, few people have ever seen it, especially the people, it is difficult to leave their homes for a lifetime, you can imagine how much of a sensation it will cause along the way.
Since Liu Renliang made a suggestion, he must know how to operate, so Zou Yu didn't ask and let him play.
It was true that he didn't have to worry about it, Liu Jin immediately pulled Liu Renliang aside to discuss, and after waiting for a while, Liu Jin went to tell the person who dissected the whale that he should be careful not to damage the bones, which the prime minister wanted to collect.
Who is the most loyal Zou Yu? It must be the soldier, because Zou Yu has always treated the soldier best. Whether it is disability pension, food and equipment, and welfare benefits. The best is always supplied to the army first.
Therefore, when they heard that this was what Zou Yu wanted, everyone immediately shouted to be careful, for fear of damaging the whale bones.
