The food, clothing, housing and transportation of hundreds of thousands of people seem to be a big deal, but for the people with strong hands-on ability, it is actually not a big deal.

Just like the people who evacuated to Lushun at the beginning, except for a few clothes and a few quilts, they had almost nothing, but they soon dug a nest around the green mud puddle and lived in a grass hut, although it seemed simple, but at least it was a home.

If there are more people, it will become a market, and after a long time, it will become a market. Even when the cannon was rumbling on the front line of Jinzhou, a market was still formed here, from the beginning of the exchange of goods, to the current silver money trading, and the business in the market is booming.

If there is anything to sell best in this market, I am afraid that it is the wood used to build a house, and with wood you can build a house, and as for bricks, there are adobe and stones. When Zhu Guoqiang came to Qingniwa again, looking at the spontaneously formed market, although it was very simple, he couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the hundreds of extra houses.

"At the beginning of the year, this was built by the people themselves?"

Zhang Jiuchu hurriedly replied.

"They were all built by the people themselves, and in the beginning, there were people who picked up houses that had collapsed in the past. The house was built with old bricks, and in this way, it slowly became a market, and at the moment, everything is good here, but the draft is more difficult......"

"Difficulty in drafting?"

"Yes, Lord Shizi, although there is a river nearby to get water, but it is inconvenient to get water in the cold weather, not to mention that there are so many people crowded here, it is really inconvenient to use this water."

In fact, it is not only inconvenient to use water, since more than a month ago, after being ordered to stay here to settle the refugees, Zhang Jiuchu is faced with a myriad of things, from food to water, and even things like going to the toilet, you have to consider, as for what firewood and the like, it is needless to say, the matter is extremely cumbersome.

"Lord Shizi, in this month or so, I have almost figured out the number of acres of land around the green mud pool, taking advantage of the cold weather now, the minister is thinking about scattering everyone, according to one hundred households and one village, it is almost necessary to build nearly two thousand villages, the only problem is that ...... need to dig wells."

After thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"I'll figure out a way to settle the wells, and the work of settling the people must be done well and carefully, but at the moment, as far as the land here is concerned, the wind and rain are smooth, that is, barely making a living."

Looking at the endless ice and snow, for Dalian, uh, it should be called Qingniwa, Zhu Guoqiang has already consulted a lot of information on the other side, even if he introduces high-yield crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, he is just barely making ends meet.

"There were originally 460,000 people rescued all the way on our side, plus the 100,000 horses who came with me, counting it, it was almost 500,000, and if you want to feed so many people, you can't rely on the land......"

Seeing that the prince stared at the sea in the distance and was silent, Zhang Jiuchu asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, just like the Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, we are at this time, if we want to survive, we must also take the "trade and industry industry, the benefit of fish and salt" as a means of survival. The first is to rely on the geographical advantages of the sea, the development of marine fishery production, the scope of hunting is not only limited to the coast, but deep into the periphery of the island, well, this point to the peacock flag to ask for advice, if there is no food in the field, ask the sea for food, for meat! ”

In ancient times, the coastal fishery resources were abundant, and the Dalian Bay area itself was a famous fishing ground in China, not to mention the open sea, even if the offshore sea caught tens of thousands of tons of fish a year, it was normal, with these meat supplies from the sea, the physique of the people and officers and soldiers could be guaranteed. Especially in the army, if you want to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers, physical strength is the core, and the core of physical strength is - eat more meat!

"As soon as the prince said this, the minister remembered, we didn't buy less fish these days, a month ago, there were North Koreans who came over to sell fish to us, and now there are dozens of North Korean fishing boats in the bay, and the minister is still thinking that this prince is coming, so he asked the cook to buy some fish and eat something fresh!"

Zhang Jiu's answer surprised Zhu Guoqiang.

"North Korean fishing boats?"

"Yes, they are all North Korean fishermen, they catch fish nearby and sell them to us! Don't say it, if it weren't for the tens of thousands of catties of fish every day, if everyone wanted to eat a meal of meat, I am afraid they would have to kill sheep and even cattle, and these people were really rescued. ”

Without waiting for Zhang Jiuchu to finish speaking, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"They fish on our territory and sell it to us? That's there, you go ......"

He was about to blast them out, but Chuannian said when he thought that the soldiers and civilians really needed sea fish right now.

"We can't let them catch them in vain, they have to be taxed."

"This minister has already taken a lesson, the fish they catch every day, they will harvest two percent of the fish when they dock at the port, this is not Qianjunmen, they all say that they eat fish all day long, and they eat a fishy smell."

Zhang Jiuchu, who seemed to be complaining, obviously spoke in a somewhat smug tone, after all, these fish were all recruited by him, and there was no capital to buy and sell.

"A man dies for wealth, and a bird for food." When they found that there were many Ming people gathered here, these people immediately came here in boats, and the fish they caught at sea were sold to the Ming army.

In the past period, it was these North Korean fishermen who caught fish that allowed many people to eat some meat instead of barely living on a little food.

And the people's need for marine fish, also makes more and more North Korean fishermen gather here, every day will catch a large number of marine fish, of course, the reason why marine fish can become the main meat of the people, is because it is cheap enough, even cheaper than food!

“…… But thanks to these sea fish, so that the people have eaten a lot of meat, less food a lot of food, the prince, you don't know, in fact, sea fish is even cheaper than food, the people can save a lot of food by eating fish, the people get meat, the government gets taxes, for us, this is indeed a good thing. ”

Although Zhang Jiuchu knew the importance of these sea fish to the people, the more important they were, the more they should be in their own hands. After thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang said,

"It's not that taxes are levied, since fish is very important, so we have to build our own fishing fleet, our own people go out to sea to fish is the long way, remember, non-my race will have different hearts, how did these Koreans come, don't care about him for the time being, but if something goes wrong, they will definitely be the first to go, the silver for building fishing boats will come from the government, and there are people among the people who will make boats go to sea to fish, and they can directly give him the boat credit. In short, in a word, if there is not enough food in the field, we are like the sea asking for food. ”

For the orders of the prince, Zhang Jiuchu naturally responded one by one, and then Zhu Guoqiang asked some more things, and when twilight fell, he stayed with Zhang Jiuchu. The dinner was not very rich, but there was a lot of seafood, and it was quite fresh to eat seafood this year.

"Shiziye, you try this, this is a yellow croaker, according to the North Koreans, it winters in the deep sea in winter, and only returns to the offshore sea to spawn in the spring, which is not common at this time."

Goldfish!

Looking at the golden fish weighing more than a dozen catties, a piece of news flashed in Zhu Guoqiang's mind.

A fish, sold for 4 million!

Just when most people are worried about not being able to afford a house, someone is eating a fish worth a house!

Isn't that kind of fish a golden fish?

Wild croaker. It can be called the standard configuration of local tyrants! Because of its bright appearance, it has been called the "local tyrant gold" in the sea, it is small and expensive, and it is difficult to find a fish in good condition!

A yellow croaker, a set of Xiamen houses!

How much does this fish cost?

More than a dozen pounds of wild yellow croaker! No matter what, you have to start with hundreds of thousands!

When he took a bite of fish, Zhu Guoqiang didn't taste anything special, but just sighed in his heart.

"This mouthful, no matter what, it will cost more than 10,000! That's the level of our day......"

In addition to sighing, he even ate a few more bites as if he was retaliating, and these few bites would cost hundreds of thousands.

Sighing at the high price of these fish in his heart, Zhu Guoqiang even had a thought in his heart.

Why don't you sell these fish to the other side?

But this thought is only a little thought, after all, why do we want to be fishmongers?

I have to eat a few more bites, and I will go back and get 40 million fish to eat......
