Chapter 384: Fishing

Well, boiled peanuts, corn and sweet potatoes are really delicious.

Even in the afterlife, it is considered a delicacy.

However, there is absolutely no such thing as a delicious food.

The reason why these rich people think peanuts, corn and sweet potatoes are so delicious is mainly because they have never eaten them before.

The first time I eat it, I feel so delicious.

If they were to eat it for a few days in a row, they would definitely not feel such a strong feeling.

However, today was the first time they had eaten such delicious food.

Almost all of them are overwhelmed.

The rest of the sweet potatoes, peanuts and corn were eaten by the farmers.

And Li Su also announced that in the future, the food that is used as wages will become these three kinds of food.

And the price of these three delicacies is the same as the price of rice.

Well, after hearing the news, the people were all overjoyed.

The price of such a delicious delicacy is the same as the price of rice?

This is definitely a great surprise for them.

Well, in fact, whether it is peanuts, sweet potatoes and corn, they are all freshly planed out, and they are so delicious when they are fresh.

And when it dries, the taste will be greatly reduced.

It's a pity that they are still too simple to know this.

Well, perhaps, for them, as long as they can fill their stomachs, it must be an acceptable thing, right?

And those aristocrats first inquired about the price at which these delicacies were sold.

It's just when they haven't eaten it before, but now that they've eaten it, if they can't eat it again in the future, it's definitely an unacceptable thing for them.

However, the result of the inquiry was that these crops would only be distributed as wages this year, and would not be sold to the outside world.

After learning this news, these nobles couldn't help but be disappointed.

However, they soon got their minds on the farmers.

It's always okay to wait for these farmers to get their hands on these delicacies as wages and then buy them from them, right?

……

The problem of food shortage in Yizhou was solved at once because of the new crops.

And not only Yizhou, but also the people of several nearby states, those who originally built roads on the railway, can also receive grain as wages.

In this way, these people naturally do not need to worry about food.

Food in these nearby states is not so scarce.

The price of grain, which was originally coaxed up, is a little unsellable.

Even the price of food in the entire Jiannan Province has been affected.

However, for this situation, people from families such as the five surnames and seven wangs did not care much about it.

Because the grain in Yizhou is enough for Yizhou at most, and at most the people in one or two states can eat.

For most of the Tang Dynasty, there was a shortage of food, which was tantamount to a drop in the bucket.

Sooner or later, the price of food will rise.

So, they don't have to worry about food prices.

However, what they didn't know was that at this time, Li Su led a fishing team and set off.

This time, they went to Lugu Lake, the largest lake in Jiannan Province.

Li Su rented a local fishing boat directly, and then bought trawls and ultrasonic detectors from the mall.

And this time, the reason why Li Su went to Lugu Lake in person was mainly because the ultrasonic detector and trawl net needed to be guided by someone before they could use it.

However, after the first time, the fishing team will have experience and will be able to operate on its own.

This time, among the workers who built the railway, Li Su found a usable talent, Liu Baojun.

This Liu Baojun once went to sea in Lingnan Road, and later returned to his hometown to practice farming.

He had experience in going to sea, and after Li Su's investigation, he found that he was a usable talent, and Li Su decided to use him as the captain of the fishing team.

……

After coming to Lugu Lake, the appearance of Li Su, the governor of Yizhou, caused a sensation in the local area, and there were onlookers from the local people.

Near Lugu Lake, there are naturally fishermen.

They have been here for generations.

There is an abundance of fish here, and they make a living by fishing every year.

However, there is basically only so much for the harvest every year.

And now, the governor of Yizhou actually led a large group of people to Lugu Lake, rented fishing boats, and came to fish with strange instruments.

With so many people fishing, they're afraid they can't even catch enough money, right?

Next, they saw that the fishing boat was hung up with trawl nets under the command of Li Su, the governor of Yizhou.

Then these fishing boats, under the command of the Grand Duke, traveled most of the circle in Lugu Lake.

The fishing boats are moving slower and slower, as if they have already netted a lot of things.

When the fishing boat docked and the fish in the trawl were dragged up, the onlookers were completely stunned.

In fact, there are too many fish in this net.

They lived by Lugu Lake in their time, and they had never seen so many fish on the net at one time.

I've never even heard of it.

This net, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of catties of fish?

The Metropolitan Governor Li Su is worthy of being a god descending from heaven!

With so many fish, it is clear that there is no way to preserve them for a long time because of the hot weather.

But it doesn't matter, these fish can be sprinkled with salt and made into dried fish.

Immediately, Li Yu ordered the people brought to make dried fish quickly.

In the hot sun, it only takes two or three days to expose the fresh fish to dried fish.

And these dried fish were transported to Yizhou along with Li Su.

Liu Baojun, the captain of the fishing team, and others stayed and continued to fish.

Lugu Lake, for so many years, has never been over-fished and hunted, or in other words, the local fishermen simply do not have the ability to catch so many fish.

As a result, the fish resources in the lake are very abundant.

Li Su estimated that it was still very easy to catch millions of catties of fish.

Moreover, Li Su did not dry up and fished.

The nets they use only catch big fish, and all the fry and small fish will be spared.

If the mother fish is caught, as long as it does not die, it will be released directly.

In this way, there will be no damage to the ecology of Lugu Lake.

And this million catties of fish are just fish in a lake in Lugu Lake.

And throughout Jiannan Road, there are many large and small lakes.

These lakes are enough for them to catch more fish.

When Li Su led a caravan full of dried fish into Yizhou City, it once again caused a sensation among the people.

Next, those who work can choose to receive food, and there is one more item.

That is, you can get dried fish.

With the amount of two catties of grain, you can receive one catty of dried fish.
