Chapter 133 Fishing with Boats

The first real inshore fishing vessel was successfully completed a month later, and this small boat, which was not much larger than a dinghy, was at most able to operate within 200 meters of the water. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fortunately, in this era, there is no shortage of marine fish, there are no large trawlers, and there are many fish caught even in the coastal areas.

A large amount of marine fish was caught on board and quickly loaded into the refrigerator. Of course, this refrigerator is not the kind of later generations, it is purely the kind that puts ice cubes in the box and temporarily uses it to keep fresh. As for how to obtain ice, it can only be said that Li Yu has already figured out the trick of using saltpeter to make ice, and used this as an excuse to frantically import saltpeter from the north.

The Han Republic, and even the Han Empire and other forces, really thought that Li Yu imported saltpeter for enjoyment, but it was also a crazy export, so Li Yu hoarded a large amount of saltpeter, which gave a strategic reserve for the follow-up firearms war.

Later, the Han Empire knew the recipe of black powder, which banned the export of saltpeter, and even imported saltpeter directly to the Han Republic. The latter still acts as a supplier, enjoying the other, only thinking that the surrounding forces are content to enjoy themselves.

However, the land of Wuyue was originally rich in saltpeter, and after the people knew that saltpeter could be used to make ice, a large amount of artificial ice began to appear for the refrigeration of fresh food. Fortunately, after publicity, everyone already knows that artificial ice cannot be eaten directly, otherwise it will cause diarrhea, but the ice cubes made with the low temperature of artificial ice can still be eaten.

Seeing that summer is beginning to come, all kinds of ice drinks have begun to appear here in Taoyuan County, and the hot weather outside, when you enter the store, it is cold and comfortable. A bowl of shaved ice or chilled juice is a blessing.

Not long after dawn, the fishing boat that went out to fish had already returned to the shore, and the boatman would not go too far, so he opened the refrigerator on the shore and sold it. There will be second-tier dealers who buy marine fish to come and negotiate with them.

When it was almost noon, a large number of marine fish began to appear in various coastal towns, and even some efforts were made to transport a large number of marine fish to Taoyuan City through the railway system in one day, and the price was certainly not low.

Many people have eaten fish, and the feeling of sea fish is very different from that of lake fish. This kind of refrigerated sea fish cannot be said to be absolutely fresh, but ordinary civilians can also taste it a little, especially recently loudspeakers are full of propaganda, often eat this kind of sea fish, which is very helpful for children's intellectual development and can make them smarter.

Who doesn't want their son to become a Chan? Although the sea fish is not cheap, fortunately, it is not too expensive, so if there are some conditions, they will buy some and eat them back. Children are also welcome, after all, they have eaten wild game for too long and really want to change their tastes. But if you eat this thing for a long time, with the nature of a child, you can't say that you will get tired again.

Some families with conditions directly take a large tank of seawater and raise these sea fish to ensure that they arrive in Taoyuan City. This kind of sea fish, even directly made into fish is very good, and it is said that Chen Deng, the son of Chen Qi, likes to eat it very much.

This little kid used to like to eat fish belly, but after understanding, he knew that there are often parasites in the body of this lake fish and river fish, and if you don't want to make your stomach full of parasites, it is best to cook it before eating. So for a few years, the young Chen Deng had nothing to do with the fish, and in fact, the entire Chinese Republic did not eat this thing anymore.

With the advent of marine fish and loudspeaker publicity, there are almost no parasites in marine fish, and you can eat fish with peace of mind. Chen Deng's appetite was finally satisfied, and compared with the lake fish, the flesh of the sea fish is firmer, and it is another feeling to eat.

By August, even the first nigiri sushi restaurant appeared in the Chinese Republic, which also sold sashimi.

The price of eating here is not cheap, but many rich people have the psychology of curiosity, so the business here is actually not bad. The so-called nigiri sushi made by the key is that the sashimi tastes good, and there are naturally many repeat customers.

At Huimin Supermarket, the store that buys the technology will enjoy a 10-year patent for the technology, and in the Republic of China, for 10 years, others are not allowed to make sashimi and nigiri sushi for profit.

The strength of the Chinese Republic to crack down on copycats and maintain patents is outrageous, and in other places, it is estimated that it is the degree of turning a blind eye, but here it is absolutely not allowed to infringe on other people's patents, or even piracy.

This may lead to an increase in consumption for some people, but at least it protects the interests of copyright or patent owners. If a technology or a copyright wants to be able to operate healthily, the state will not be able to provide adequate policies.

The popularity of fresh fish and frozen fish has naturally also promoted the ordering of fishing boats, and more and more residents near the sea, under the premise of the joint-stock system, several people jointly buy a boat, and then go out to sea to fish and sell it, and then dividends according to the shares.

Even many families have begun to set up fishing companies to specialize in fishing, and even hope to order larger fishing boats to go further afield. This also indirectly drove the business of coastal dockyards, and under the leadership of Li Yu, more than a dozen shipyards were expanded, and the original shipyards had begun to try to build larger fishing boats.

Li Yu did not oppose the establishment of a fishing company, but he also set up a special fishery supervision bureau, which was subordinate to the agricultural bureau. In terms of authority, it supervises the fishing companies and checks the nets to avoid the occurrence of fish fry.

A large number of orders, to the delight of those workers in the shipyard, because the more they build, the more dividends they pay. They are not paid dead wages, not only in the name of the military-industrial complex, but also in a very small percentage of the shipyard. Even if it is very small, it is already very lucrative for these workers.

At present, the population of the Chinese Republic has reached 30 million, and these are the total number of registered population. There may still be some mountain people who are still waiting, but most of them have already come out of the mountains and are willing to join the country.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the official population was only 50 million, and the population of the Chinese Republic had reached three-fifths of it. However, the proportion of Han Chinese is actually less than 30%, and the rest are almost all mountain people from all over the country.

These mountain people were originally black households, and they did not have a household registration, and because of the family's long-term exploitation and plundering of them, the two sides have been fighting. Rao is like this, these mountains and Yue have also caused turmoil in Eastern Wu for decades, dragging the other party to the north. Looking at the tactics of those so-called Pingyue famous generals, almost all of them are methods of co-opting some mountain people to deal with another group of mountain people, which is not very clever......

The improvement of sanitary conditions, the improvement of the welfare system, and the absence of family planning policies, so in the past ten years, many of the earliest people, even have five children, these guys have nothing to do with the behavior of making people is simply outrageous, and now the eldest child is ten years old and is already in the fourth grade of primary school.

According to Lin Ming's prediction, by 200 AD, the total population of the Chinese Republic may rise to around 70 million, excluding the number of people who have moved from abroad; By 300 A.D., it could even rise to more than 120,000,000.

Of course, Li Yu may not be able to see this scene, after all, even if he is still alive by then, he will be over 140 years old. Not to mention, in the past hundred years, the territory of the Huaxia Republic cannot always be so large, right?

The consumption of 30 million people is still very considerable, and excluding some very poor places, the first towns and cities that developed are consumed a lot of marine fish every day, which makes the price of game meat drop somewhat, but not much.

Some traders even make dried salted fish and meat floss. Of course, the technology is still purchased from the Huimin supermarket, and these two commodities have even become military procurement materials, after all, things that can be stored for a long time are really good as marching food. Dried salted fish can even be supplemented with salt, which leaves a lot of room for the baggage troops.

Don't look at the salt that soldiers need to replenish every day, but in a group army battle, tens of thousands of people consume a lot of salt a day. If it is a long-term battle, then a few hundred catties of salt is actually a lot. But it's not easy to bring a few hundred pounds of things.

Naturally, meat floss and dried salted fish were also more suitable for selling farther afield, such as the Han Empire, which was located inland. Obviously, the other party also saw the benefits of salted dried fish and meat floss, and they were also imported in large quantities. They don't necessarily need to be used as military rations, but as dry rations on the way west, but they are still very good.

In September 192, the first vessel, twice the size of an offshore fishing vessel, was successfully launched. After the successful trial voyage, it was ordered by the fishing company as soon as possible, and went to a place 500 meters away from the coastline to fish, the key is that the harvest is more than twice as much as that of ordinary offshore fishing boats, which is naturally a big profit.

At this time, there were even some fishing boats that directly took the catch to the military government, and even transported it to Sun Jian or the Han Empire through the Yangtze River to sell, and even opened a breeding warehouse in the large offshore fishing boats, which were specially used to breed live fish to ensure that the fish caught within three days did not die and could be sold in the freshest state.

Driven by the fishing industry, the shipbuilding industry is indeed developing rapidly, and the first offshore patrol ships began to appear, and the transport ships that can transport 100 people are also launched. As long as Li Yu is willing, he can arrange more than 100 such troop carriers at any time to transport tens of thousands of elites to the northern coastal areas to launch a liberation war.

It's a pity that this is not cost-effective, and the navigation technology is not developed enough, especially the navigation skills of the navy and even the crew have not yet played away, if not, the fishing companies will not only dare to play fishing in the offshore waters, they have already gone to the far sea to fish, and the harvest over there is not greater?

However, the hot shipbuilding industry has also made the initial investment cost recovered to a certain extent, and Yuan Jian was also slightly relieved after seeing the report summarized below. As the great steward of the Huaxia Republic, in fact, it is not easy for him to ......

Since last year, Yuan Lian has even moved his family to Danyang County, Huaxia Republic, along with his brother and son in Chen County. The three brothers, Yuan Ba, Yuan Hui and Yuan Min, all have a career; The eldest son Yuan Kan and the second son Yuan Yu were originally frail and sickly, but after Hua Tuo's diagnosis and treatment, they are gradually cutting off the root of the disease and starting to become healthy, and they will go to the civil service exam next year; There are also San Lang Yuan Ao and the fourth son Yuan Huai, who are also studying in the school. Not to mention that there is also a concubine, Yuan Factory, who works in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It is conceivable that in the future, the influence of the Danyang Yuan family is only afraid that it will not be under the Lingyang Li family and the Taoyuan Chen family. (To be continued.) )
