Chapter Seventy-Two: Knocking on Fishing

The Jiuquwan project was officially launched, and Li Shuang served as the project supervisor and was fully responsible.

The terrain here is low-lying, because of the high tide, the water accumulates all the year round, and the road that originally turned back and forth was muddy.

So, if you want to carry out a big engineering project here, the first condition is to build a road!

The plan to build the road was agreed upon by Chen Zheng and several investment shareholders.

One is a wide, flat stone road for horse-drawn carriages and goods.

The other is a wooden plank trestle road designed by Chen Zheng himself, which can lead to the port.

Chen Zheng organized the refugees who had already settled down to drive thick, straight, and long wooden stakes into the ground, and then spread flat planks on them.

This wooden plank trestle retains the characteristics of the original road of Jiuqu Bay, and is used for pedestrians.

When the nine-curved trestle bridge is built, Dongyang County will have another scene - the afterglow of the trestle bridge.

Exquisite wooden trestle: Durable +17, lingering +18, Affectionate +16.

Looking at the attributes of this trestle, Chen Zheng has reason to believe that in the near future, this place will become a place for young men and women to enjoy the sunset.

And the stone road also began in full swing after the completion of the wooden plank trestle.

However, Chen Zheng was not a carpenter, so when he built the stone road, he couldn't intervene and simply ignored it.

The stone slabs used were taken from local materials, excavated from Qingniu Mountain in the east, and directly sent here for paving.

It's a big project and it's very time-consuming, and the stone road is repaired.

All kinds of timber and facilities were transported to Jiuqu Bay through stone roads, and Chen Zheng and Li Shuang began to direct the construction of a dock and port.

With food and shelter, the refugees who settled here worked quite energetically, and everyone's enthusiasm was quite high, because the supervisor Li Shuang had formulated a rather strict system: if one person is lazy, the whole family will starve.

In the beginning, refugees came one after another, but recently no one has come.

I think it was the prefect Feng Xueyong who issued an order to ban the county seat, and the refugees in the counties couldn't get out.

A few months later, the disaster in Hongjiang Mansion is estimated to be very serious, because even in Dongyang County, Chen Zheng can understand the anxiety of people during this period of famine.

Most of the people's homes have no surplus grain, but fortunately, Li Gang formulated a detailed plan according to Chen Zheng's suggestion, and the various grain distribution points in Dongyang County began to distribute grain in an orderly manner.

As long as you can receive food, this anxiety can be well resolved.

As long as the people who receive the food must obey the arrangements of the government office, or build walls or bridges, they cannot be left idle.

People, once idle, are prone to cranky thoughts, and then there will be chaos.

However, due to the hundreds of more refugee mouths and a lot of manual labor, the food in Dongyang County is consumed very quickly.

Li Gang ordered the scribe to make a detailed calculation, and if the current consumption rate was followed, it would not be able to last until the day when the imperial court distributed relief grain.

Taking a step back, even if it is there, it is estimated that there is not much relief food, and it is still not enough.

This point surprised Li Gang and Chen Zheng, after all, although Chen Zheng's suggestion was good, it was never implemented, and it was a little bit far from the ideal state.

The idea was Chen Zheng's idea, so Li Gang brought Chen Zheng over and continued to discuss.

Chen Zheng looked at Li Gang, who had messy hair and beard, and couldn't help but sigh a little, the parents and officials in this place are really not good.

"Master Xiao Chen, now that the grain reserves are about to run out, what should I do?" Li Gang was even a little confused.

Chen Zheng comforted: "Lord Li, you are the backbone of our Dongyang County, don't panic, everyone is pointing at you." ”

"Alas, this county is in a hurry, what if someone starves to death because of lack of food?" Li Gang sighed.

"Good news for your lordship, the port is complete and you can go to sea." Chen Zhengdao.

Li Gang glanced at Chen Zheng and didn't speak, he didn't seem to be interested in this topic, he wanted food!

"As long as you can go to sea, you can catch fish, and then the food problem can be solved!" Chen Zheng said again.

As soon as he heard that he could solve the problem of food, Li Gang finally became interested and said, "Master Xiao Chen, can you really be sure that going to sea to fish can replenish the grain?" ”

Chen Zheng thought for a while and said, "Eighty percent sure!" ”

Li Gang nodded, in this period, eighty percent of the certainty is already very high.

"What do you need the county to do?" Li Gang Road.

Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Although the port is completed, the dock has not yet been built, so there are no other fishing boats available except for the wooden boat that sailed when I came back before. ”

"This is easy to do, this county issued an order to requisition all fishing boats in Laojiaogou Village, how about it?" Li Gang asked.

Chen Zheng listened, but shook his head and said, "Those fishing boats are too small to catch much, and what you need is only a boat comparable to that sloop." ”

Li Gang immediately understood and asked, "Do you want to use the five patrol boats of the government office?" ”

"Yes, those five cruisers, of the same shape as the dhow below, are only suitable for borrowing for fishing for the time being." Chen Zhengdao.

Seeing that Li Gang was still a little hesitant, Chen Zheng continued to persuade: "My lord, human life is at stake, we can't drag it out any longer, if we go to sea one day late, we will lose one day's rations!" ”

Li Gang frowned, and after a while, he slapped the sandalwood raglan tenon book in front of him, and said: "The county has agreed, during the special period, everything is appropriate!" ”

Chen Zheng got Li Gang's permission, and did not hesitate, and rushed directly to the port of Jiuqu Bay, and it didn't take long for the five cruising wooden boats to sail in from the outside, plus the six sloops used by Xusheng now.

Although it did not reach the number of ships in Chen Zheng's mind, but now that the situation is urgent, it can only be so.

After the six wooden boats were assembled, they couldn't set off immediately, and Chen Zheng still needed to make some changes.

Only the transformed wooden boat can play the greatest role, otherwise why would Chen Zheng drive the boat to the sea and catch a large number of marine fish?

Is he good-looking alone? Definitely not.

Chen Zheng decided to use five marine patrol wooden boats as sub-boats to be responsible for fishing, so on the hull, Chen Zheng designed and made hooks, rollers and other devices to facilitate the use of netting and rewinding.

And the wooden ship of Xusheng is used as the mother ship.

The most important thing about how many fish can be caught on this trip to sea depends on the utility of this wooden boat.

Chen Zheng once read a novel that recorded the method of catching fish by knocking wood, and at first he didn't believe it, but thought the author was nonsense.

However, when Chen Zheng went to look through the materials, he found that this method did exist and was very effective.

This method of knocking wood to catch fish, commonly known as "knocking", Chen Zheng intends to use this method to catch fish.
