At present, there are more than 50,000 registered households in Dengzhou, with more than 200,000 people, which is the population of a township in later generations.

There are 4 million acres of land, and on average, each person has 20 acres.

However, there is a cruel reality in front of us, that is, 600,000 mu of fertile land and 1 million mu of medium-sized land are all in the hands of less than 1 percent of the landlords.

What is helpless is that each of these landlords does not occupy much, and one family is either two or three hundred mu, or seven or eight hundred mu, and none of them exceeds 1,000 mu.

What worries Deng Long the most is that these landlords are all good people, not good people, and they were all exiled to the more remote military state by Zong Ze and went to travel!

And the people by the sea are a little better, but also limited, in ancient times for seafood, are half-understood, do not know much, if you give people a basket of sea urchins, people may still think that you want to harm people!

Therefore, the fishermen by the sea are just enough to fill their stomachs.

Based on the above situation, coupled with Wu Yong's addition, Deng Long came to a conclusion.

The landlord can't move, and there is no excuse to move, these landlords are the same as Liu Dashan near Zhujiazhuang, they are all good people, at least Zong Ze has not caught any tricks in the past few years. It also gave a number of landlords and issued cards to good people.

The landlord can't move, the people have no land to plant, and they can't eat enough, how to open this dead knot?

To be honest, Deng Long, like most people in his last life, had never cooked a few times, except for the braised pork he liked to eat, what other Sichuan and Cantonese cuisines were there...... I can only hehe.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, the people of Dengzhou are backed by the vast sea, and their lives are still poor, and Deng Long is also extremely helpless.

Seafood itself knows salted fish and kelp, and has eaten these two things, and probably eats these two things now, but the area of popularity is definitely not as large as that of later generations.

If you want to turn these things into money and food, you have to process them deeply, and it's a pity that Deng Long can't do it!

But Deng Long is not a good man and a woman, he has never eaten pork, but he has also seen pigs run. Deng Long has seen a lot of those delicious dishes in the later generations in front of TV.

Although the current food culture of the Great Song Dynasty is not comparable with that of later generations, it is not said that compared to before.

So a lot of chefs came out, otherwise where would Deng Long get the stir-fried dishes to eat.

The senior chef in Yangsan was kidnapped by Wu Yong from Jeju City, and he was skilled in this work.

As long as there is a cook, all the seafood is processed into dry goods, and after experimenting with how to make dishes, and then there is the problem of sales, these are simple problems, as long as you solve how to process seafood, everything else is not a problem.

After telling Wu Yong about his thoughts, this guy immediately returned to the state he had when he was in Liangshan, and the aura of the Yin Owl filled the entire hall.

"It's not like we haven't done what my brother said, but the kidnapped cooks didn't succeed no matter how they did it, so I put it down!"

"Where did you get your cook?"

"Of course, they are locals in Dengzhou, they grew up here, and they understand the characteristics of seafood, so I took them all together and found them all for experiments!"

Deng Long smiled secretly, it seems that Wu Yong has not paid much attention to this aspect, but the method is not right, and he has not found the trick!

The situation in Dengzhou was almost understood, and the solution was also clear, Deng Long relaxed wholeheartedly and signaled that Wu Yong could eat.

Wu Yong invited Deng Long to the restaurant for a banquet without hesitation!

The group came to a restaurant that looked tall, each found a good place to sit down, and the wine and food were constantly served.

What to eat when you come to the beach? Nonsense, of course, eating seafood.

It's just that things have deviated, and none of the dishes served are seafood, all chickens, ducks, fish and sheep, and even a plate of beef.

Deng Long didn't say anything, expecting to eat a seafood feast in ancient times, it was impossible!

This reception banquet was very lively, and the officials of the Dengzhou family came up to toast one by one and saw this young boss.

Deng Long is also not afraid, and he is not a good man in Liangshan, but just a ten-degree light wine, and he can get five or six catties casually.

During this period, Deng Long had a general understanding of these civil and military officials, except for the two officials appointed by the imperial court, Zhizhou and Tongju, the others were all privately installed by Zong Ze for the prince.

As for where those genuine goods went, Deng Long only knew that those people did not go to the underworld, but traveled on Salmon Island at public expense, and it was absolutely impossible for them to appear elsewhere.

Deng Long had watched Journey to the West countless times in his previous life, and he was very puzzled by the plot of the boatman pretending to be Tang Seng's father as an official.

But in ancient times, after seeing the primitive means of communication, and Huaxia can only understand the unspeakable painting skills, Deng Long understands.

As long as the state capitals pay their taxes on time and pretend to be strongmen of officials, it will not matter at all.

So don't be surprised that the handsome posterior before coming out of Tokyo, after returning as an official, he will become a big man, as long as a large amount of silver is handed over, you are a fool, and those bigwigs will also praise you with a smile.

Everyone had a lively meal, eliminating the previous estrangement and becoming intimate.

Deng Long yawned a few times, and everyone left in a witty manner, leaving a few principals to continue chatting.

Deng Long looked in the crowd a few times just now, but found no trace of Ye Chun, it stands to reason that with his level, there is no problem at all in participating in the banquet, but Deng Long did not see anyone left and right.

After asking Wu Yong, I learned that Ye Chun was busy these days, and his feet did not touch the ground.

After he came to Dengzhou, under Wu Yong's planning, several shipyards closed down one after another, and those craftsmen naturally all became craftsmen in Liangshan.

As soon as Ye Chun came, he took over the huge shipyard and directly began to manufacture ships.

The first batch of ships were all standard sea ships, each ten zhang long and two zhang wide, which was not particularly large in the warship, but it was not small either.

After the first batch of warships appeared, Wu Yong contacted the surrounding pirates and sold these warships for a good price, and at the same time obtained a lot of valuable information.

Then Ye Chun didn't dare to delay, and began to build loach ships while making ordinary warships, loach ships were for experiments, so only three were built, and ordinary warships were to find out the situation of the surrounding pirates.

So when ordinary warships, or even inferior warships, were sold to pirates, Wu Yong got the information and charts he wanted, and several loach ships were also being built in an orderly manner.

Under the rush of thousands of boatmen, these three loach boats appeared smoothly, and this time Wu Yongke did not sell them, but recruited thousands of fishermen to drive these three loach boats out to sea.

Everything went smoothly, and the loach ship was assisted by sails on three sides and twenty-four waterwheels underneath to accelerate, more than twice as fast as the warships of its time.

The disadvantage is that the waterwheel needs to be stepped on by manpower and can only be used in battle.

So don't expect the ships of today to crisscross the north and south like the generations of the future!

It is gratifying that the combat effectiveness of the loach ship is okay, and in the battle with the pirates, it can be described as devastating, directly crushing the pirate's ship.

After returning, Ye Chun began to build an upgraded version of the loach ship, and after repeated research, combined with the knowledge that Deng Long brought from later generations, a loach ship that can be called a giant in the present world appeared. (To be continued.) )
