After Li Gang left Dongyang County, Chen Zheng said to Li Shuang: "Brother Li, the next days may not be easy. ”

Li Shuang obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't this a good life?" ”

"When the hail crosses the border, almost all the food crops are destroyed, and when the people's homes run out of food, it will be a real disaster." Chen Zheng sighed.

Who knew that Li Shuang actually smiled and said: "If there is no food, you can eat meat, our barbecue will definitely be more popular at that time, and maybe we can make a lot of money!" ”

Chen Zheng glanced at Li Shuang, and even wanted to beat him, this kid really doesn't know the suffering of the people.

Chen Zheng followed Li Shuang to their Juquande Restaurant, Li Shuang's morning fire was eaten by Yue Xiaorong, and he was hungry, so he asked Meng Chujiu to roast a big fresh fish.

As Li Shuang's friend, Chen Zheng would definitely not let him dine alone, so the two of them ate together.

This grilled fish is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is extremely refreshing, and it was delivered by Xusheng from the sea early this morning.

After taking two bites, Chen Zheng suddenly stopped and said to himself, "Huh? ”

Li Shuang glanced up at him and said, "Brother Chen, what's wrong?" Isn't there enough fish? If it's not enough, let the junior ninth brother bake another one, anyway, it's your own. ”

Chen Zheng shook his head and said, "Brother Li just said that if there is not enough food, you can eat meat, right?" ”

"That's right!" Li Shuang nodded, and spit out a fish bone in his mouth by the way.

"Brother Li really has a great mind and is superior to others!" Chen Zheng suddenly praised.

Li Shuang heard Chen Zheng's praise, although he was a little stunned, he was also happy to hear it, and quickly pretended to be modest and said: "Brother Chen praised it falsely, Brother Chen has a good eye, and he is also very capable of it." ”

Chen Zheng listened to it, and this Brother Li's ability to climb poles along the vine has not regressed at all.

Recently, there has been a hailstorm, and there are obviously fewer people who come to the restaurant to eat barbecue, and Chen Zheng is not afraid of others hearing their conversation.

"Brother Li still remembers Jiuquwan?" Chen Zheng asked.

Li Shuang snorted lightly and said, "Of course I remember, that broken place!" ”

Li Shuang has a very bad impression of Jiuqu Bay, where the roads are not easy to walk, and there are sea bandits and Fusang dwarves.

Chen Zheng shook the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Brother Li's words are wrong, there is a treasure land!" ”

"Treasure land? Why didn't I see it? Li Shuang shrugged his shoulders and said.

Chen Zheng dipped his chopsticks in the water, drew on the table and said: "You see that this Jiuqu Bay is surrounded by mountains, Qingniu Mountain in the east, and Tiger Tail Island in the north. ”

Li Shuang tilted his head and looked at it for a long time, and said, "Like a pocket?" ”

Chen Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, this island and mountain range form a pocket, it is simply a natural harbor, if you build a dock here, it is simply blessed!" ”

"What are you building a dockyard for?" Li Shuang didn't know why.

Chen Zheng took a breath and said patiently: "Ship a ship, go to sea, and fish!" ”

"What are you fishing for? Xusheng has enough fish for us. Li Shuang still didn't understand.

"There will definitely be a famine in the future, and when there is no food, you will have to find something else to replace it, and fish is the easiest to get at the moment." Chen Zheng explained.

After Li Shuang heard this, he suddenly realized: "You mean that we build a boat to fish, and then the others have nothing to eat, so we will sell the fish to them, right?" ”

"Sort of, right?" Chen Zhengdao.

Li Gang, as the county magistrate of Dongyang County, will definitely be busy because of this famine, but his son Li Shuang is thinking about using the famine to make money, which makes Chen Zheng really speechless.

But then again, if you can help the people survive the famine and make some money yourself, why not?

"I just don't know if the piece of land in Jiuqu Bay can be used." Chen Zheng muttered to himself.

Li Shuang pointed at himself and said, "Leave this matter to me, and when my father comes back, I will go to him to discuss." ”

"This is not enough, the road in Jiuqu Bay is difficult to navigate, and if you want to build a dock, you must first build a road." Chen Zhengdao.

Li Shuang frowned and said, "Build a road?" This is not a trivial matter, and we can't do it alone. ”

"Yes, I still need money!" Chen Zheng stared at Li Shuangdao.

Li Shuang also stared at Chen Zheng, and after a long while, he reacted and said, "Brother Chen, you are beating me again." ”

"What yours and mine, making money, of course together." Chen Zhengdao.

Li Shuang smiled slightly and said, "Brother Chen, I believe you!" ”

However, before Chen Zheng could be happy, Li Shuang continued: "Our restaurant has also been open for a while, and we should have made some money, so how about using this money to repair roads?" ”

The corners of Chen Zheng's mouth twitched twice and said, "This restaurant has only been open for a few days, how much money can you make?" It's not enough. ”

Li Shuang also sighed and said, "Then I can't help it, all my money is spent in this restaurant." ”

"Then let's talk about it, let's see if the county magistrate allows us to build a dock." Chen Zheng had no choice but to say.

Two days later, Li Gang came back from Hongjiang Mansion, and as Chen Zheng expected, his face was sad.

Li Shuang told Li Gang about their plan to build a shipyard, and Li Gang was quite impatient, but when he heard that it was for disaster relief in the future, he also kept his mind and asked his son to call Chen Zheng and ask about the specific plan.

Through several contacts, Li Gang also felt that Chen Zheng would not do things without purpose, and it was better to listen to his thoughts.

After Chen Zheng arrived, he entered Li Gang's study and saw him sitting in an armchair behind the raglan bookcase.

Li Gang didn't ink, and asked directly: "Master Xiao Chen, tell me why you want to build a dock?" ”

Facing Li Gang, of course, Chen Zheng would not deal with the previous set of rhetoric, but said: "It won't be long before there will be a famine, and adults don't have to hide this from me, the purpose of building a dock is to build a ship and go to sea to fish, and when the disaster comes, fish and meat can also be used as food." ”

Li Gang is not as easy to fool as Li Shuang, and said: "When you go out to sea to fish, you don't necessarily have how much you can catch, so many fishermen in Laojiaogou Village can barely survive, and they can hardly get extra fish." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I have a lot of experience in fishing, and with the fishing boat I built, there will be a great harvest!" Chen Zheng said with an oath.

Li Gang listened, although he didn't believe it, but he didn't refuse, just thinking silently.

Seeing this situation, Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "My lord, you have also been there in Jiuqu Bay, which is a natural harbor, which can be described as a natural shape." ”

"Oh? A natural harbor, Master Xiao Chen means something! Li Gang said with a smile.

Sure enough, talking to smart people is much easier than talking to Li Shuang.

"Fishing for disaster relief during disasters can also be used as a military port after disasters, and it is also extremely convenient for maritime training." Chen Zheng said lightly.
