Chapter 636: The Boom Triggers

Kelp soup, this method that was gradually explored until the Ming and Qing dynasties, has appeared in the Dinghai Navy, coupled with the fried fried Dinghai Navy has long been popularized, and the food of the Dinghai Navy is the best in the world, which is definitely not bragging.

The stir-fried dishes that are only available in Fan Lou are added to the freshness of various broths and kelp, not to mention swallowing the tongue, but also above the level.

For the promotion of food, it is just a casual stroke, Zhao Xin is more concerned about fishing boats, although he has determined that in the mouth of the Yangtze River, there will be a huge fishing ground, but it has not fallen to the ground, more or less in his heart, there is no bottom.

Chinese sailing ships, because of the large cargo capacity, so, the speed is quite slow, long-distance sailing, the average speed of three or four knots, is already very good, but the Yangtze River estuary is very close to the Dinghai Navy, only less than 500 kilometers, that is to say, thousands of miles of voyage, even if it is a Chinese-style sailing ship, the relative speed is slow, a day more than ten or twenty hours of sailing, will be very fast.

Prior to this, the shipment of the goods and a series of fishing by the fishing boats in the Yangtze River fishing grounds were recorded in the form of letters and handed over to the transport ships to transport away.

This kind of transport ship is the proportion of sails increased on the basis of the sail battleship, among which, Zhao Xin also added some things to it, which are unique to the flying clipping ship.

Actually, it is not unique to clippers, it should be said, something specific to high-speed warships.

In fluid mechanics, there is a very peculiar thing, when the resistance is reduced, there will be stages, for example, below 10 knots, the optimal layout is one aspect, 10 knots to 15 knots, it is another kind, to more than 15 knots, or even more than 20 knots, it is another.

In this case, around verse 10, what is more suitable, by verse 15, may be cumbersome, and verse 15 is suitable, but verse 20 may not be suitable.

The characteristic of the clipper ship is that it is suitable for a speed of about 18 knots, and this characteristic has been transmitted down until modern warships have broken through the speed of 25 knots.

The current technical strength of the Dinghai Navy does not yet have the strength to build a large-scale flying clipper, and some technical indicators of the flying clipper have not been explored to a certain extent, but a small-scale attempt is still possible.

In such an attempt, this fast sailing boat is one of the more mature ones, with the help of more sails and special settings, which can exceed 14 knots when downwind.

On the surface of the sea, such a speed is already very amazing, but the effect of the headwind is not special, and it is impossible to resist very large wind and waves.

In the Dinghai Navy, this kind of ship is used for communication, and it will enter the ocean, but it will not leave the shore too far, at most, it will go to the lower Ryukyus, so that there is a lot less chance of encountering wind and waves.

This ship, which was finalized last month and put into use, was only between Haizhou and Dinghai at first, a distance of one or twenty miles, and it could not run at all.

Later, the line between Dinghai and Jiangning and Hangzhou was opened, and the distance was a little longer, but there was no danger along the way.

Even tropical storms are mostly concentrated within 20 degrees, and Shanghai rarely encounters them, let alone the Yangtze River estuary.

On a downwind trip, if you have a tailwind, you can go at a speed of about 14 knots along the way, and you can maintain about 8 knots against the wind, and the average speed reaches 10.5 knots, which is very amazing.

From Dinghai to Jiangning, if you count the waterway, about 1,500 miles, according to the average speed of about 19 kilometers per hour, 14 hours a day, you can reach it in almost 3 days, which is very amazing.

At first, it was just to transport some information, business opportunities, some valuable, and urgent things, which could also be transported a little through this ship.

Speed represents this efficiency, and in the same way, the things collected by the Chamber of Commerce can also be quickly sent to the Dinghai, so that the Dinghai can reflect and analyze in a timely manner.

This time, just by the way, in the future, maybe Chongzhou will set up a special route, and now, just between Jiangning and Dingjun, take a trip to Chongzhou and take some things away.

From Chongzhou to Dinghai, full of calculations, about 1000 miles, and it is a relatively tailwind time, along the way day and night, non-stop marching, it only took more than 1 day, less than two days, to arrive at Dinghai.

After arriving at Dinghai, a package from Chongzhou and almost 4 large boxes of 100 catties were sent to Dinghai Port.

More than an hour later, these things were delivered to Zhao Xin's office, which was close to 6 o'clock at this time, and in the days close to summer, it was still very bright at 6 o'clock, and the factory workers had not yet gotten off work.

The secretary informed Zhao Xin of the letter from Chongzhou, Zhao Xin put down the work at hand, went immediately, opened the letter, briefly browsed the following, and then excitedly called for a good life.

The fishing ground at the mouth of the Yangtze River, more than he thought, is much more outstanding, on the first day, it reached the almost limit of more than 800 tons, this is not the previous sea trial, the first day of luck, encountered a large school of large yellow croaker, all of a sudden harvest is huge, after there is no such a big school of fish, the harvest is significantly reduced.

This is worthy of this era, China's offshore waters, the largest fishing ground, the number can definitely support a large number of fishing boats, 800 tons on the first day, 700 tons on the second day, not because there are no fish, but deliberately restricted, to ensure that the harvest is so much every day, and to ensure the normal fishing of fishing boats.

Asked the secretary to archive the letter in his hand, as for the more than 400 catties of fish sent over, Zhao Xin didn't care much, took two canned yellow-lipped fish, and a dragon head fish, and he didn't ask for the rest at all, all of them were distributed to the secretaries below.

The secretaries are also very happy to be able to serve as secretaries, even if they didn't have much knowledge before, they have grown a lot of insight in the top echelons of the Dinghai Navy for so long.

It is not an ordinary fish that can be sent to Zhao Xin, even fish such as big yellow croaker and salmon cannot be sent to Zhao Xin, basically, they are all yellow-lipped fish, silver pomfret fish, dragon head fish, Yangtze River saury.

These fish are relatively scarce and expensive, and the most important thing is that they are delicious.

Zhao Xin took a little casually, didn't want it, and handed it over to these secretaries, these secretaries are not polite, they have followed Zhao Xin for many years, and they are very familiar with Zhao Xin's personality, he will not be polite.

More than 400 catties of fish, Zhao Xin took very little, and handed over the rest to the secretaries, the entire office, there are only more than 40 secretaries in total, even if it is evenly distributed, there are almost 10 catties per person, not focusing on a certain kind, each of which points, enough for more than a dozen kinds, and enough to make a large table of dishes.

Of course, not everyone knows how to cook, there are really too many, and it is wasted if it is broken, but fortunately, these fish, either pickled fish or canned food, can be stored for a long time.

"Why is it so lively, what is this doing, dividing the fish?" A person came in with slightly ridiculous words, and it was Xue Yu who spoke.

Seeing Xue Yu coming, the familiar secretaries saluted him, Xue Yu smiled at them, and then walked in front of Zhao Xin, picked up a Yangtze River saury, and said with a little surprise: "Good guy, it's really not small!" ”

"If you like it, take some back!"

"I still don't want to, I won't do it again!" Xue Yu shook his head and said.

The gentleman does not win the love of others, Xue Yu must have reached a little time, of course he knows, these fish are all divided by Zhao Xin to these secretaries, he has a point, the secretaries must have a less, to his level, he is not afraid of these secretaries, but there is no need, one more spoon and one bite, for him, it is not so important.

Recently, Xue Yu has come to Zhao Xin a little more often, and the purpose is very simple.

Previously, all the 20 ships in Dinghai Shipyard were made into fishing boats because of Zhao Xin's decision. Zhao Xin's order, there is not enough reason, no one can push it over, especially after that, the fishing boat took down nearly 300,000 catties of fish in one net, which is even more unreasonable.

At present, everything is fine in other aspects, but there is a little, but meat.

Yes, the standard of living has improved, and the wages and salaries are high, but if you want to eat a bite of meat, you can't eat it, and if it is not rationed, the meat may rise to the sky.

It's not going up, but it's not, even if you go to the hotel, the price is high, it's so much every day, even if it's a high-ranking officer like Xue Yu, it's the same, there's a lot of money, and the ration is high, but there is not much to eat.

Dingjun is here, and what he does is relatively fair, even if it is Xue Yu, he has achieved the level of a military general, and his quota is a little higher than that of ordinary people, which is nothing at all for a martial artist who loves meat.

Not to mention the other functions of the fishing boat, just to say that it can replenish meat on a large scale is enough to make all gossip disappear completely.

If it has always been 300,000 catties, and even if the fishing boat is increased, it will also be expanded, Xue Yu will directly extinguish this heart, where it is cool, where to stay, and wait until the fishing boat is completely completed.

But then, there is no 300,000 catties, and it has been swinging at 5-70,000 catties, at least even 30,000 or 40,000 catties, and at most more than 100,000 catties.

This proves that the catch around the Dinghai Navy is not an unlimited increase, and in this way, increasing the number of ships will not necessarily increase the production, and that is not an opportunity.

The fishing boats that have been refitted, it doesn't want to be able to change those that have just been refitted, and the next batch, that's the point.

However, seeing these fish, Xue Yu felt a little bad in his heart, and when he arrived in Zhao Xin's office, he did not hesitate, and after greeting him a little, he directly asked about the origin of these fish.

Zhao Xin was like a mirror for what Xue Yu thought in his heart, and directly showed him the letters that had not yet been archived.

After reading it, Xue Yu didn't say a word, but his heart was completely cold, 700 tons a day, that is, 1.4 million catties, this amount is very terrifying, if all of them are transported to the Dinghai Navy, it can make everyone eat 7 taels of fish and meat.

The most important thing is that this amount is large, and 3 boats may not even catch one percent of the fishing grounds, which means that this is a very high ceiling.

With all 20 boats gone, it was impossible to catch all the fish, and then it was possible to expand the number of fishing boats on a large scale.

Xue Yu couldn't sit still anymore, and left quickly, it was gone, and Zhao Xin didn't stop it, he knew Xue Yu's thoughts, but it was just to increase the warship?

In fact, the number of fishing boats cannot be increased indefinitely, 20 has reached a certain level, up to 40, 3 700 tons, 40 ships, almost 10,000 tons a day, this number is too large.

If all of them are sold in Dinghai, on average, each person will have to eat about 10 catties of fish.

Of course, there is more fish and more meat, which is not a bad thing, and even if you can't eat it all, you can still marinate it and sell it, and mix it with flour and other foods to increase nutrition.

However, in a short period of time, by next year, the number of people in the navy will increase to 4 million, and if each person eats 100 kilograms of fish per year, it will only take 400,000 tons, that is, 40 ships can do it in dozens of days.

Too much is not good, it is easy to waste, Zhao Xin will expand the scale of fishing boats to 30 at most, and then what really accelerates the construction is nothing else, it is warships and merchant ships, the former represents force, the latter represents wealth.

Xue Yu is gone, and the things are finished, and the news of this capture is spreading in Dinghai, and some restaurant owners who have just developed the ingredient of seafood and are preparing to expand, as well as some other well-informed villagers, are also waiting.

The final arrival of this group of sailboats was 10 days later, much slower than that of the sailboats, but also faster than average.

The arrival of large-scale canned food and pickled fish has set off a climax in Dingjun, after all, coastal fishing, and even fishing in the surrounding area, are relatively minority, which is tens of thousands of catties a day, which is a drop in the bucket for the Dinghai Navy with a population of 2 million.

All of a sudden, there are more than 2,000 tons, converted into catties, more than 4 million catties, this total is very amazing, even if everyone eats fish, you can get an average of more than 2 catties.

Not everyone loves to eat fish, and they don't eat fish every day, that is to say, 4 million catties, rushing into the market, is very high in the market.

Finally, the meat of the Dinghai Navy can be supplied openly, although it is just a fish, but it is a huge boost for the Dinghai Navy, whose living standards have been significantly improved. Similarly, the news about the fish farm in the mouth of the Yangtze River has also begun to spread.

The same 3 ships, along the coast of the Dinghai Navy, may be 5-70,000 catties a day, and the better ones can break through 100,000, and if they are a little worse, I am afraid it will be difficult to even 20,000 or 30,000 catties.

This is a helpless thing, Ding Haijun's surroundings, after all, are not a large fishing ground, can not be compared with the Yangtze River estuary, that is the place where the ocean currents meet, there is also the amount of water injected into the Yangtze River, brackish water and fresh water interaction, forming a rich and diverse fish, the total amount is relatively large.

Rush to buy caused a boom, and then, gradually calm, for the did not grab, or buy less, do not worry, similar transport ships, will arrive once a week, the Yangtze River estuary, a steady stream of fish, and because of the rush caused by eating fish, began to calm down, in the subtle, through eating fish, changed the quality of the population of the Dinghai Navy, night blindness began to be greatly reduced.
