Chapter 671: Someone has to do things

A meal, the guests and hosts who eat are satisfied.

The table full of seafood, which has not been specially prepared, is almost always original, either steamed, boiled, or simply grilled on charcoal.

There are no ingredients, but there is no imaginary tastelessness, seafood has a salty taste, adding too many seasonings, will cover its original umami, anyway, each has its own love.

I like to eat, and most of them eat it originally.

This meal not only made Duan Lun very satisfied, but at the same time, his mind began to become active.

A full table, except for king crab, which is extremely difficult to obtain, the others don't seem to be hard to get.

And the production does not seem to be low, as for the reason, then it is simpler, the backwardness of the Korean Peninsula is all-round.

Agriculture, fishing, all walks of life, all backward, their fishing level is actually no different from the previous Datang, just find a small boat to go to a place a few hundred meters away from the land to fish, have not been to a farther place at all, and most of these delicacies are farther away.

Of course, all these seafood products are caught by the fishermen of Datang.

To be precise, it was caught by the fishermen who followed the Marines a few years ago, and the army also needed seafood, and these fishermen caught it nearby and sold it to the army.

Although the price is a little lower, but it can't stand a large amount, save trouble, and have the effort to run back to Haizhou to sell goods, which is enough for them to salvage a boat, and the cooperative relationship between the two is also relatively close, and the two have already formed a fixed cooperation model.

Of course, there are more than 100,000 troops here, and it is obviously not enough to be close to a few fishing boats, so the seafood is more for the soldiers to improve their diet, and their main food is still mainly grain.

"In this way, when you leave, take some seafood to Chang'an to try it and see how it works." Duan Lun thought for a while and said to Wang Xuance.

In terms of strategy or something, Wang Xuance's ability is indeed stronger than Duan Lun, but in terms of governing the local area and developing the economy, Wang Xuance's ability is still weaker.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so long, and the economy of the Korean Peninsula is still in a mess, not only the economy is in a mess, but even agriculture is far below expectations.

Although there are still some problems in the current political environment, for agriculture, as long as the people want to farm in peace and stability and do not engage in some miscellaneous things, the harvest can still be guaranteed, but the situation that Duan Lun saw was not like this.

"Where's the price?" Wang Xuance didn't refuse, anyway, it was a matter of the way, and he really didn't have any talent in this area.

"What does the fisherman sell for?" Duan Lun asked.

"Fish are worth 200 dollars a stone, and shellfish are 80 dollars a stone." Wang Xuance said.

Terminal sales are indeed by the catty, but in Datang, the fish sold by the pound is not by the catty, all of them are calculated by the stone.

In the Tang Dynasty, one stone was about one hundred and six catties, and the purchase price of fish was less than two cents per catty, and shellfish was less than one catty per catty.

This price is indeed not high, but considering that each transaction is a quantity of hundreds or thousands of stones, the unit price is low, but the transaction volume is not low.

From the Korean Peninsula to Haeju, the cost of a cargo ship carrying 5,000 stone in the middle is about 10 times, of course, this is calculated according to commercial use, and the price of coal is calculated according to the price of coal in the market.

If it is a military affair of the imperial court, the coal is free, except for one labor, it will save about seven or eight times, and the rest is the cost of labor and the loss of the ship.

Ten has always been evenly divided into five thousand stones, which is equivalent to two points and two dollars per stone, yes, two points and two dollars, it is so low.

But this is only the cost, commercial use, naturally it is impossible to charge only according to the cost, so even if the price is set at 20 yuan, it is acceptable, in this way, the price of each stone is 4 yuan, and it is evenly divided into each catty, which is about 0.04 yuan.

In addition to the cost of loading and unloading the ship, and then to the train transfer and loading, it is calculated according to 0.1 yuan per stone, and the cost of unloading and transferring after arriving at the station is calculated according to the number of 5,000 stones, and the cost of each stone on the way will not exceed 1 yuan at most.

Excluding the profit from sales, if you buy raw fish, the price of one pound is guaranteed to be not less than four yuan, but four dollars is obviously impossible, the profit is too low, and it is not impossible to sell it for five yuan, six yuan, or even higher.

"Fish are sold at six dollars a catty, shellfish are sold at four dollars a catty, and you need to pay attention to these seafood on the way and try not to let them die." Duan Lun deliberately explained, as long as this method is feasible and acceptable to the people of the Tang Dynasty, it will be easy to say.

The people of Donghai Province have almost found a way to make a fortune, coupled with agricultural stability, which is still very helpful for their future tasks.

In the final analysis, why has the situation in Donghai Province not been completely stabilized?

The reason is very simple, although Wang Xuance has created an environment for them to farm with peace of mind, there is too little communication with the people, and the people are unstable, so they can't be at ease in production.

And what Duan Lun has to do next is to strengthen communication with the people, let them know the governance policy of Datang, and find a way to generate income for them, only in this way can we stabilize people's hearts.

Of course, there is only a limit to the so-called income generation.

Duan Lun is well aware of his current situation, and also knows the situation of the imperial court, although the imperial court is richer than before, but a large number of construction sites also require money, and if he can generate some income on his own side, he can save some money for the imperial court, if possible, Duan Lun even hopes that Donghai Province will fund the construction of a railway through the north and south.

It's still early, and it's still possible to realize your own ideas.

To develop the economy, we must not simply rely on one means, Datang's success is already obvious, and what does Datang's success depend on?

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Datang relies on the agricultural economy, industrial economy, and commercial economy.

However, in Duan Lun's view, the most important thing is the road, especially after the railway is put into use, which greatly reduces the cost of transportation and greatly improves the efficiency of transportation.

Of course, what is more important is that the people have money, a large number of jobs, so that the people have a way to make money, grain protection prices, to ensure the most basic interests of the people.

Mechanized agricultural production, can allow the people to put more energy in other places, now in addition to the harvest season needs men, other work women will do, turning the ground is a machine, up a few times to solve it, since the land can be solved, why can't farming be solved?

The seeder also followed, but the harvester has not been studied, and the technical content is slightly higher, so at present, only men need to go home to harvest, other weeding and watering or something, which one is not simple? Especially when watering the ground, as soon as the mouth of the canal is opened, just watch the water come to an end and seal the mouth.

Therefore, agriculture is fundamental, under the premise of ensuring agriculture, the development of other industries and commerce, this is the reason for the real rise of Datang, well, there is also an obscure talent, this Duan Lun does not plan to implement it here for the time being.

Because the root of Datang is to completely annex this place, not to make it stronger.

None of the colonists really wanted the colonies to become strong and then overthrow their colonial status.

Not before, not now, and not in the future.

"Ji Guogong, I wonder how you plan to operate next?" Wang Xuance asked a little depressedly: "I won't tell you, I'm quite qualified in other aspects, but in terms of governance, even I feel a headache." ”

Wang Xuance is not a stupid person, the East China Sea was fought under his own command, and it is understandable that he does not allow himself to be the governor of the East China Sea, after all, his power here is also the largest.

You can directly transfer to the new domain, what's going on?

What is the new domain? said that it is the territory of Datang, but in fact, it is the territory of the countries of the Western Regions, not the real territory of Datang, what are you doing there? Of course, it's not to govern, but to find a way to annex there, which happens to be what I'm good at.

But Wang Xuance's original intention was not like this, he also wanted to take root in a place steadily, and then in the future, people in this place would say that we rose under the leadership of Wang Xuance.

Instead of the people of the East China Sea and Xinyu saying in the future, we were forcibly brought into the Tang Dynasty by Wang Xuance, and we became strong under the leadership of so-and-so.

Especially after Duan Lun came, Wang Xuance urgently realized that he might also need to change, at least to make up for his shortcomings as much as possible.

"It's easy to say, but it's hard to say." Duan Lun glanced at Wang Xuance lightly, and said without concealing himself: "The ultimate goal of the imperial court is to make this area completely become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, to let the people here have a sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty, and to make them realize from the bottom of their hearts that they are a member of the Tang Dynasty." Relying solely on force, politics, and means of governance, whether it is economic development, or anything else, will not achieve these things at all.

To put it mildly, now Datang is playing the role of an aggressor, the first thing we have to do is to eliminate the local people's resistance to Datang, restore the economy, open up the economy, so that they can live a better life, this is a way, communicate with them, understand them, and let them understand themselves, this is also a way.

But these are just foreshadowing, are all preparing for the real core program, Datang's ultimate plan to achieve this goal is to combine these immigrants with the local people through a large number of immigrants, more precisely, to let the men who came from Datang immigrants combine with the local women, through the fusion of blood, completely let the local indigenous people disappear, which will take hundreds of years, or even longer to operate, my generation may not see that day, but this matter must be done by someone, and someone must start ......"
