Chapter 164: Fishing for All
"Hey, Dudu, the last general has brought you a gift." Liu Renliang suddenly thought of something, and said to Feng Daiwen with a smile.
"What other gifts, what are you doing so politely?" Feng Daiwen was stunned for a moment and said, thinking that Liu Renliang saw that he had been promoted and brought a gift to see him, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"Some time ago at sea, I encountered a huge fish, which had been beside the fleet, and everyone was afraid of capsizing the boat, so they shot with an eight-ox crossbow and shot more than 20 arrows to kill this animal."
"That's huge! It was wider than the deck, and in the end there was no way, so it took a long time to divide the meat, and it was enough to fill a boatload of fish and meat, and Xia Guan saw that although a few teeth were not as huge as the ivory, they were also very beautiful, so he kept them for you. Liu Renliang explained.
"Let's take a look!" Feng Daiwen looked at the huge fish teeth, and after listening to Liu Renliang's description, he understood that this gang of killers should have killed a whale.
"Hehe, Dudu, look at this bone, it's so big, I never thought there was such a huge fish, I was frightened at the time, if it wasn't for this animal loaded into a boat, I didn't dare to mess with it, and finally everyone was worried that the boat would overturn, so they tried their best, but fortunately they tied a rope on the crossbow arrow at that time, otherwise they would have let this animal run away." Liu Renliang was at a loss and didn't know what animal he had fought against, and He Zi said excitedly.
"Have you eaten it, is the meat delicious?" Feng Daiwen asked.
"It's okay, it's a little rough, but this one is enough for a village to eat for a few days." Liu Renliang said with a look of disgust.
I also eat all kinds of fish at sea every day, and I basically eat it in my mouth.
…………
Although the county seat of Funing is not big, there are still thousands of people, Feng Daiwen asked the county order to gather the people of the county to start transporting fish and building a fishing village.
With the supplies on the ship, the dried fish gradually piled up into a hill, the fishing village also became a temporary warehouse, and the people mobilized by Funing all became porters.
The unloading boats began to leave the dock and start fishing, and huge nets were lowered into the sea, which have now been improved several times to become larger, stronger, and deeper into the sea.
The big boat already had a lot of experience in fishing Liu Renliang, and the ten boats separated, and then, like a surroundment, drove towards the middle, and the fish were driven by the large net that was dragged, either falling into the net or being driven into the net of other boats.
I don't know if the fish are too stupid, or if there are too many fish at this time, but after more than an hour, a dozen or so boats basically closed and began to collect their nets.
Dozens of sturdy men shouted slogans loudly, shirtless, pulling the winch hard, and some helped pull the rope, the net was too big, and there were so many fish, the two winches could not pull up the fishing net, in the middle of the boat, there was a huge piece of wood horizontally, the rope went around, and pulled desperately.
With bursts of cheers, it means another bumper harvest, even the sailors who eat fish and want to vomit are cheering and laughing loudly in front of the huge harvest.
As the ships docked, another mountain of fish was brought to shore, most of them alive.
The thousands of people who saw all this with their own eyes were already going crazy, and they first looked at the dozen or so boats in amazement, and they caught so much in just over an hour.
Then Feng Daiwen ordered that each of the people who came today could get an extra 10 catties of fish and meat, and they all smiled happily and went to help clean up, and they also wanted to touch it themselves to see if it was real.
"It's incredible, it's incredible!" Wang Yan watched so many fish come ashore in amazement, and kept shaking his head and sighing.
As a mainlander, I have seen so many fish caught at the same time, and many of them are not small, and the largest one is about the same length as an adult.
"So much! If there were more ships, wouldn't it be enough for the whole Tang Dynasty to eat. Zheng Yong also said in disbelief.
Feng Daiwen shook his head and said: "This is impossible, not to mention how many people are needed to fish and process, and fishing also depends on the place, climate, and water temperature." ”
"There are not so many fish in many places, and there are also docks to dock and fish to be preserved, which is something that needs to be considered."
Feng Daiwen took out a map, pointed to it and continued to introduce: "There are so many fish here, it should be related to the climate and ocean currents here, you see this is a huge bay, calm and warm, it should be an important reason why fish like it." ”
"I see, what the governor said is that the lower officials and others are not thoughtful." Wang Yan said suddenly realized.
"Of course, there are so many fish here, so it is natural to increase the intensity of fishing, and such a huge bay is dozens of times more people to fish, and there is no shortage of fish, but unfortunately there are not so many boats."
Wang Yan's eyes were a little red, and he sighed: "It's a pity, such a rich resource, it's a pity, if there are enough people, Chang'an will not worry about no fish to eat." ”
People in this era attach great importance to food and cherish it very much, even the noble family is not as luxurious as on TV, and they are not so extravagant that they eat dozens of dishes in one meal.
The more well-established the family, the less it will be so erosive, and only the uneducated nouveau riche, or the originally poor who became high-ranking officials, will enjoy it desperately.
"Of course, it won't be such a waste of resources, the official has already written to Luoyang to vigorously build ships, and more ships will arrive in Lingnan, but the task of Lingnan is too heavy, and we must continue to travel back and forth to Chang'an, Funan, and Zhenla, so there will not be too many ships." Feng Daiwen explained with a smile
"The governor is wise, so I thought about it a long time ago!" Wang Yan complimented.
"So in the future, everyone must have a plan, division of labor and cooperation, and not let the fish catch up and spoil." Feng Daiwen looked at the busy crowd in the distance and said.
Wang Yan and Zheng Yong glanced at each other, clenched their fists and said, "Please command!" ”
"Well, Wang Yan first appointed you as the chief inspector of the Anxi Governor's Mansion, responsible for dispatching craftsmen to build wooden boxes, fire clay pots, ship dried fish, and transport them to various places for sale, and let them eat enough in the military camp first, which can save a lot of food."
"The valuable fish is made into ice, preserved and sold, and the roads are repaired for transportation." Feng Daiwen turned his head to Wang Yan and commanded.
"The lower officials are clear, obey the orders of the governor!" Wang Yan hugged his fists.
Feng Daiwen nodded and turned to Zheng Yong and said, "Zheng Yong is now appointed as the Inspector Sima of the Governor's Mansion, responsible for setting up warehouses here, building docks, expanding villages, assisting in sorting, and handling sea goods. ”
"The lower officials understand, obey the orders of the governor!" Zheng Yong also hugged his fists, and the two also understood that this was both a task and a test, so the official position was preceded by a school inspection.
The two of them divided the labor of construction, transportation and sales, and some of the talents who came were in charge of business before, and they were familiar with the road.
Feng Daiwen plans to treat the four counties as Nanniwan, and the whole people and the whole army will build together, farm together, and eat big pot rice together.
