Chapter Seventy-Four: The County Order Greets
Looking at the five wooden boats behind him that were fully loaded and returned, and the fishermen on the boats cheering, Chen Zheng couldn't help but sigh that the usual fish yield of these fishermen was too low.
It is only because of the hardships of the fishermen's life that they are so excited about the harvest now.
Like the fishermen in Laojiaogou Village, almost every family has a fishing boat, but the fishing boat is too small to travel far.
Even if some boats are a little bigger, they can't fight much because of the backwardness of fishing methods.
It is not easy to maintain food and clothing on weekdays, and there are even fewer people who save fish to sell for money, and they are definitely a good hand.
For example, Xusheng on Coral Island, his boat was made of a few simple planks, and Chen Zheng suspected that it was just a raft.
With that boat, Xusheng gets every day, which is enough for the brother and sister.
After that, Chen Zheng lent him the dhow, and Xusheng gave full play to his fishing skills, which was not only enough for his brother and sister to eat, but also provided a large amount of fresh fish for Juquande Restaurant.
This is a direct reflection of productivity gains.
"The productive forces determine the relations of production, and the relations of production react on the productive forces." Chen Zheng suddenly remembered such a sentence, and he didn't know if it was right, anyway, in this era, it was impossible to consult relevant information to confirm it.
In less than a day, more than 1,000 marine fish, close to five or six thousand catties, finally arrived at the port of Jiuqu Bay.
This deep-water seaport, which has been renovated, ushered in its first harvest in history, and even the county magistrate of Dongyang County came to witness this moment in person!
Li Gang really couldn't sit still, now the grain storage in Dongyang County is getting less and less, although it can hold on for some time, but it will definitely not support the disaster to pass
Now Li Gang's only hope is on Chen Zheng's body, if he goes to sea this time and gets nothing, then there is really no way.
If it can't be controlled, tens of thousands of people will be starved of food, and there will be some tragedies such as cannibalism, then something will happen.
The six wooden boats finally landed, the pedals stretched out from the boat, and Chen Zheng and Li Shuang disembarked together.
It's just that Li Gang is a little strange, why did his son Li Shuang lean on Chen Zheng's body softly?
It is said that Li Shuang grew up in Dongyang County since he was a child, and he played on the beach a lot, seasickness or something, it didn't exist at all, so why did this happen?
What did these two boys do in the vast sea!
After calming down, Li Gang warned himself that now is not the time to care about this kind of thing, let's see if there are any fish first.
Chen Zheng saw Li Gang from a distance, helped Li Shuang approach, and said, "I've seen adults." ”
"Dad, why are you here?" Li Shuang also smelled it, but his voice was lazy.
Li Gang snorted lightly and said, "You came back from going to sea, how many fish did you catch?" ”
"Fortunately, the lord made a quick decision to lend the patrol boat, and now he is fortunate to have returned with a full load!" Chen Zhengying said.
Loaded on?
Li Gang made sure that he heard correctly, glanced at his son again, and said to the tolerance beside him: "You two, get this stinky boy back first." ”
Li Shuang was indeed tired, and said to Chen Zheng: "Brother Chen, I'll go back to recuperate first, and then go to sea together after recovering my energy!" ”
"Brother Li, you should pay attention to your body and don't overdraw." Chen Zheng responded.
Li Gang felt that the two of them couldn't stand it anymore when they said some strange things in front of him, so he hurriedly urged: "Master Xiao Chen, since you have returned with a full load, then take this county to take a look." ”
After Chen Zheng handed over Li Shuang to the two tolerances, he suddenly felt relaxed, made a gesture of please, and said, "Please come on the boat with me." ”
"Lead the way!" Li Gang motioned for Chen Zheng to walk ahead.
Chen Zheng took Li Gang to a wooden boat and said to the fishermen on the boat: "Open the cabin!" ”
The two boatmen opened the trapdoor that closed the cabin, and Chen Zheng motioned for Li Gang to look inside: "My lord, the fish are inside." ”
Li Gang couldn't bear it anymore, stretched his neck, and looked at it.
At this moment, a touch of golden yellow suddenly appeared in the cabin, and Li Gang was startled and quickly took two steps back.
Smack!
The golden thing landed on the deck, and it was still churning, and everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be a big yellow croaker.
This fish is very large, seven or eight pounds, very energetic, and it keeps turning on the deck.
Li Gang was shocked, and his original face was frightened, but when he saw that it was a big yellow croaker, he turned into a surprise.
Possessed again, this time there were no fish jumping out again.
However, Li Gang maintained the posture of possessing the probe and did not move for a long time.
The scribe next to him sensed that something was wrong, and quickly stretched out his index finger and stabbed Li Gang behind him, and whispered, "My lord, are you okay?" ”
Li Gang, who came back to his senses, shook his head, turned to look at Chen Zheng, and only after half a ring, did he say, "Master Chen, it is really my lucky star in Dongyang County!" ”
"My lord has an overreputation, and this is also an obligation within my ability." Chen Zheng is very modest.
Immediately, Li Gang sighed inexplicably and said: "Li Shuang is fortunate to be able to make friends with you, but you young people are together, everything must have a degree, if you are seen, it is not good to fall into the handle." Besides, Master Xiao Chen is already a lady with a lady, and he must pay more attention to his reputation. ”
Chen Zheng was confused when he heard this, what is it and what? I don't understand it at all.
Li Gang didn't care about Chen Zheng's doubts, he was very happy now, these fish could effectively relieve the pressure on Dongyang County, if the court could allocate some more food, then it would be very considerable to survive this disaster.
"How do you divide this fish?" Li Gang asked.
Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "My lord, I am only responsible for fishing, not for distributing fish." ”
"Do you have any good suggestions?" Li Gang said again.
Chen Zheng won't fall for him this time, the last time he used the work-for-relief plan, the result was that the consumption of grain accelerated, and he almost fell the pot on his head.
If you don't divide the fish well this time, maybe you will be handsome, Chen Zhengcai is not stupid.
This county order is very "bad" in his heart, believe you a ghost.
"My lord, there are only six wooden boats that can be used for fishing, and the amount of fish is still insufficient, so the top priority is to build big ships and build more ships!" Chen Zheng explained.
Li Gang thought for a while, nodded helplessly, and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, although this time you can bring back nearly 6,000 catties of fish from the sea, but it is still not enough, you can build a ship with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about this fish business." ”
Chen Zheng was overjoyed, without the risk of carrying the blame, he was naturally relaxed.
