Good days always pass quickly, on the twenty-third day of the forty-eighth year of Wanli, the people under the jurisdiction of the general's mansion reluctantly sent away the king of the stove. I look forward to the head of the family being able to say good things to heaven, return to the palace to bring more blessings and benefits to the family.

In this year, the territory of the General's Mansion expanded outward, acquiring 1.6 million mu of paddy fields and dry land, reclaiming 1.1 million mu of wasteland, and after a typhoon, the harvest of rice also increased slightly compared with previous years, and on average, the yield of rice per mu was close to 10 stones. Grains such as corn and sweet potatoes grown in the mountains were also harvested for nearly 2 million stones. Because of the different reclamation times of miscellaneous grains, the yield per mu is not assessed for the time being. People in various villages are inspecting their granaries, looking at the many rice grains that have never been seen before, the children's newly made clothes, and the adults are also thinking about how to make more money and produce more food next year. The chief of several villages and the villagers began to plan how to invite the opera troupe to sing and how to set up a village banquet to return the spirits.

In the sound of firecrackers, he sent away his own stove king, Hu Licheng was in his tent, drinking a little wine, drinking wine lees venison and smoked fish and dried bamboo shoots, such a day is no less than that of a fairy.

On the day of the sacrificial stove, Hu Licheng and several other general banners and 100 households, after paying a deposit of 5,000 taels of silver, obtained the right to sell salt from Li Shouhan, and each of them divided the agency area according to their own network power. Hu Licheng relied on the relationship between his wife and uncle and several generals of the Ruan family in the south to obtain the right to sell salt south of the Haihe River in Quang Zhi, that is, in the area controlled by the Ruan family. In this area, all refined salt and filter salt are sold by Hu Licheng. However, he could not sell beyond the 5 per cent increase in the retail price.

However, according to the wholesale price, the salt is filtered at 40 wen a catty, and there is a loss limit of 15 catties per 100 catties; Refined salt is wholesaled at the price of fifty-five wen a catty, not long ago, several sons and nephews got hundreds of catties of refined salt and thousands of catties of filter salt in the Xialiao area and Shuizhenla area of Laos to test the water, as a result, in the Liao, where the men used gold to bet on cockfighting, a pound of refined salt was sold for a gold price! And, there is also a nice name, "Blessing of the gods!" ”

Although it is said that the Xialiao area has not grabbed it, the south and Shui Zhenla are also good. In any case, relying on the sale of refined salt, you can earn gold and silver.

Or Lao Tzu has vision! Before the war between the deputy Qianhu and the young master of the Li family, the land was distributed to the military households below in accordance with the order issued by the eldest young master of the Li family. Not long ago, he returned all the domestic slaves in his family to the deed of sale, and made them the workers under the rule of the general's mansion. The combination of these two events made him look at him differently in front of Shouhan. Among these people outside the general's lineage, that is, among the people who are privately sorted according to the order of seats, called the "second row", his position is absolutely high.

It was because of this support that Hu Licheng got a lot of benefits, when he threw several contracts in front of his money-loving yellow-faced woman, the yellow-faced woman who had been drooping her face for him to give up her land and property, her long face immediately shone with silver.

It's a pity that the business of the dyeing workshop started a little late, so the Hu family and the He family took the lead. Otherwise, Tonghe Dyeing Workshop will also have its own shares. It's that people have to eat and dress, and this is a business that makes money every day.

Fortunately, he had already registered with the Fisheries Office, asked to participate in the construction of a trawler, and according to the regulations of the Fisheries Office, he handed over 2,000 taels of silver for the construction of the fishing boat. The Fisheries Office orders boats from the shipyard on behalf of the shipyard and recruits shipwrights and sailors.

He had seen trawlers on the docks, two shang-sail trawlers, hung with dozens of sails, parked on the pier compared to those fishing boats, the difference between the general and the firehead. The sailors laboriously twisted the winch and pulley set, dragged the huge fishing nets out of the water, and then hoisted them again, squatting on the ground on the freshly cemented docks.

I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of catties of fish in one net?! Looking at the large and small fish struggling and jumping in the net, everyone present was dumbfounded.

"Twelve thousand and thirty-seven pounds!" The people of the fish shop burst out loud and staggering numbers.

Good boy!

How many boats are going to top up for a day's harvest?!

The sailors on the shouker trawler triumphantly put away their nets, turned around and sailed out of the dock to catch the next net.

Hu Licheng stared at the schooner that was sailing like a fierce horse on the sea with his eyes, at such a speed, I am afraid that he could fish at least twice a day at sea, and if there was such a harvest every time, then he would have an income of almost a hundred taels of silver a day. Where is this fishing? It's clearly making money in the sea!

What Hu Licheng didn't know was that on the sail trawler, there was another rake to make money.

On the sea near Bailongwei Island.

The fishing boats and the Xuanwu battalion that guarded the fishing found that they were really lucky today.

"Spotted a pod of whales!"

A signal came from the ships of the Xuanwu battalion.

"The whaling cannon is ready!" The sailors checked the rope net behind the gun emplacement, which would be responsible for intercepting the gun carriage to prevent the huge recoil of the gun carriage from hitting the boat board or themselves, so that the sailors could reset the gun carriage. A sailor fills the cartridge into the chamber and then stuffs a log board in front of the pack to prevent gas leakage. Then put in the whaling fork shaped like a flat-headed shovel, and carefully arrange the long rope made of cowhide, silk and linen.

"Fire!"

With a loud bang, huge waves churned on the surface of the sea, and the harpoon had sunk into its body, penetrating countless large blood vessels and internal organs, accompanied by the painful cry of the whale, and the blood gushed out like the Yellow River bursting its banks, staining the sea red. It does not know that henceforth it is no longer the largest object in the ocean, nor is it the most lethal. The launchers of the whaling fork in its body are the real kings of the sea!

Seeing that the whale was not struggling, the sailor lowered the sampan, paddled over, and then used a thick rope to put a looper on the whale's tail.

The people on the boat laboriously turned the winch and pulley group to drag this huge whale from the flap at the stern into the cabin, "This whale, I'm afraid it has tens of thousands of catties?!" ”

The sailors excitedly talked about it, and the mere experience of catching whales at sea was enough to become a topic of braggadocio in addition to being drunk.

Adults said that whale skin can be used to make shoes, leather goods, fish oil can be used to light lamps, to treat finch blindfolds (that is, night blindness), to make lubricating oil for the machine, fish meat tastes similar to pork, bones can also be ground to feed cattle, it is said that cattle can grow strength after eating. I don't know if people will be like the storyteller said after eating, with a thousand pounds of strength in one shake of their arms?!

"Captain, the ship on duty at the right post of the Xuanwu Battalion has a flag, it seems that the sea is about to have wind and waves, and we are ordered to sail back."

"It's good! Anyway, our ship is fully loaded! Raise the sails and go home, brethren! ”

There was a strong wind on the sea, and it seemed that the heavens and the earth turned from day to night in an instant. The waves were several meters high and crashed against the hull of the ship, and the schooner trawler was thrown to the top of the wave and then to the bottom of the wave. From a distance, several nearby boats are like small toys, being played by an invisible hand in the wind and waves.

Between the crests and valleys of the waves, Xu Huanshan and the three sailors worked hard to hold the rudder, and just now, his ship also caught a whale with a cannon. But now all the people are not happy. The speed of the scissor gunboat was also verified between the peaks and valleys, and the difficulty of people meeting the test of wind and waves increased exponentially.

The storm was getting stronger and stronger, and as a last resort, Xu Huanshan lowered the mainsail so that the ship would not be blown over. I don't know how long it took, the storm gradually subsided, the scissors were very resistant to the wind, the wind and waves were actually pierced through the hull and deck, however, several sailors were injured, but not serious. Xu Huanshan took out the compass and sextant, well, that's right, this is the compass and sextant made by Li Shouhan secretly, and it can be positioned more accurately. The first mate calculated for a while, "Captain, we have deviated from the course and are now near Qiongzhou Mansion"

"The storm has hung us so far?"

"It's not bad, you didn't blow us to the Ryukyus!"

"If we blow to the Ryukyus, won't we also make meritorious contributions?!"

People tease each other in the storm.

"Captain! At three o'clock on the port side, there seems to be someone! ”

Gun Commander Huang Liancheng shouted loudly.

With the prestige, between the sea and the sky, I saw a ship that was beaten to tatters, and it had sunk nine percent with its stomach facing the sky, and on the nearby sea, there were one hundred and ten figures faintly floating in the wind and waves, appearing and disappearing. In the distance, there seemed to be several pieces of ship debris floating on the surface of the sea.

"What to do?!"

Huang Liancheng and a few old sailors asked loudly about Xu Huanshan's instructions.

Xu Huanshan gritted his teeth, "It's all a career at sea!" You should help each other! Put down the dinghy, put on a few more layers of bamboo armor, and go down to rescue people! ”

Sailors wear bamboo armor, a sailor invented, he found that after people wear bamboo armor, the body can not sink on the sea, so he reported to the captain, Xu Huanshan reported to Li Shouhan, Li Shouhan looked, isn't this the best life jacket. So it was ordered that all sailors must wear bamboo armor.

The sailors put down the dinghy with all their hands, and Huang Lian put on several layers of bamboo armor and put a long rope around his waist. "Follow me!" He jumped into the dinghy with a few sailors and rowed to them with difficulty.

On the bow of the ship, Xu Huanshan and the three sailors held the rudder tightly with both hands, trying to stabilize the ship. Due to excessive force, the joints have become somewhat whitish; As the captain of the ship, he must be responsible for the lives of everyone on board.

Finally, Xu Huanshan saw that the boat had rowed to the surface of the water where the hundred and ten shipwrecked people were floating. A sailor jumped into the sea, grabbed the hair bun of a shipwreck, waved his arms vigorously, and swam desperately back to the dinghy.

One after another, the sailors rescued the shipwrecked and rowed the dinghy to the gunboat.

"How's it going, how many are alive?" Xu Huanshan let the first mate steer and ran over to ask,

Huang Liancheng said: "Captain, it's troublesome, they are from the imperial court"

"What" Xu Huanshan is bigger, and then carefully looks at these people, these people have been in the water for a long time, and their bodies are soaked white, he took a look at it, and took a breath: "Jinyiwei, this is the Jinyiwei of the imperial court" Xu Huanshan found that there were at least ten of these hundred and ten people wearing flying fish suits and carrying long knives, and one of them was still a hundred households.

"More than 20 people died," Lao Huang inspected as he instructed the sailors to use the method taught by Li Shouhan to give first aid.

"These two are enough to choke." Huang Liancheng wiped the water droplets on his body and looked at the bodies of the three people. "The sea seems to be choking on the lung tubes." He pointed to two people in official uniforms, "This one seems to be a little angry." ”

The one he said was a little angry, dressed as a criminal, and his face showed a dead gray, but there was still a desire to struggle to survive in his pulse.

"Hold on! Don't die! You died on our ship, and this new ship is too unlucky! A sailor was vigorously performing CPR and artificial respiration on the shipwrecked while chattering incessantly.
