In addition to whaling, the harvest of fishing is even more surprising.
Salmon, cod, herring and saury are abundant here, and before coming to Hokkaido, Taiwan's fishing industry had already started using trawling techniques, and this time in Hokkaido, it was equipped with four large trawlers.
What is amazing is that the herring here is often a large group of dense turns, a net down, can catch thousands of catties, often need a lot of people shouting the horn to turn the winch, this can hang a net of fish onto the boat.
"Damn! There are so many fucking fish here! You see, if you say a day, you have to catch 20,000 catties a day, but yesterday I made 60,000 catties a day, haha! We don't have to do anything, we just fish, right! And whaling, just fishing and whaling, we get rich. ”
It was Lei Yuntong who spoke, this guy was a typical martial artist, and when he saw countless fish and turtles, he felt that his wealth was very valuable.
Tao Wenfu was very dissatisfied with Lei Yuntong's vision, and sneered:
"Even if a pound of fish is 30 yuan, and 50,000 catties of fish a day, it is only 1,500 yuan, and it is only 45,000 yuan a month. Besides, if it has to be transported to the Great Song Dynasty, it will cost 30 wen a catty. ”
"But there are whales!"
In the past two days, four whales have been caught, adding up to twelve whales, and the total weight of the whales caught has exceeded 250,000 catties, including three sperm whales, and the value of the ambergris alone is more than 50,000 yuan.
As soon as the whale was mentioned, Jin Ding couldn't help but laugh, and smiled at Tao Wenfu:
"In this way, you can settle accounts with everyone and see how much the whales and shrimp you catch are worth."
"Well, I'll do the math. Let's talk about whales first, ambergris will not be less than 50,000 guan, and it will be considered 50,000 guan; Forty-five pounds of whale oil can be refined into eighty-thousand pounds of whale oil, three thousand six hundred pounds; 140,000 catties of whale meat, 8,000 guan; There is also whale liver, which is sold to tuna companies, and a thousand will not be less. Not counting whale bones and whale skins, there are more than 60,000 whales alone. ”
Tao Wenfu paused and continued:
"Fishing, of course, frogfish is not only 30 Wen a catty, it is 30 Wen, these days, fishing has been 600,000 catties, if it is calculated according to 3o Wen a catty, it is calculated as 10,000 ** thousand. However, all the fish maw is used to make fish maw glue, the value of this fish maw glue is not ordinary, five thousand catties of fish bladder, the price of one hundred and fifty wen is too low, at least two hundred wen a catty, so, it is considered a thousand guan. All in all, there should be 20,000 pieces. ”
Yang Zhe muttered on the side:
"Didn't you say that one hundred and fifty Wen Guan a catty! How did the price rise to 200 again! You know, the best raw material of fish maw glue is neither the swim bladder of salmon, nor the swim bladder of cod, herring, saury, but the swim bladder of rice fish and large yellow croaker. ”
Jin Ding looked at it, the price of each catty of fish bladder increased by 50 yuan, and it was not too much to charge 200 yuan, and it was really not worth it to deal with the joint venture company in this small link, and Tao Wenfu's profiteer spirit was a bit too much. So he laughed and said:
"The loss will never be enough, no matter how bad a pound of fish maw glue is, it can be sold for more than 800 yuan. However, our Taisong Company is also a shareholder of Shuanglu, and if it is cheaper, it will be cheaper, and one hundred and fifty will be one hundred and fifty yuan, and the price will not increase. ”
"It's pretty much the same, the dignified Taisong Company, in seventeen or eighteen days to Hokkaido, there will be 80,000 yuan in the account, Lord Jin, don't forget, in the final analysis, this is still Maote's idea. Besides, if there is no whaling cannon, Lord Jin wants to hunt whales, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy! Why should Lord Jin bother with Maote's subordinate company! What's more, whether it is the Golden Gun (Hokkaido) Cod Liver Oil Company, the Shuanglu (Hokkaido) Gelatin Company, or the Taisong Company, they all account for 30%! ”
"Good! Good! Good! Don't mention it, don't mention it! It's all family. ”
After settling the accounts, there is infinite scenery on the books, but Jinding is not without troubles:
"I didn't expect that not long after I arrived here, whether it was whaling or fishing, it would be hundreds of thousands of catties easily, and it was almost a million catties! Underestimated, underestimated! There are still fewer people coming. ”
Nowadays, an average of 50,000 catties of fish meat are dealt with every day, whether it is whales, or salmon and the like, anyway, the average is 50,000 catties a day, no less, loading and unloading, slaughtering, processing, including boiling whale oil, the most than 100,000 catties a day, personnel, venues, etc., with more and more quantities processed, the pressure is increasing. Obviously, with whaling and fishing, especially fishing, on a larger scale, manpower is a big problem.
"Yes, we still have to take the opportunity to occupy more territory, I heard that this Hokkaido has two big Taiwan, the land here is vast and sparsely populated, not to occupy nothing, in my opinion, at least 5,000 people have to be sent, to come 5,000 people, it is barely strong, not only to ensure fishing, but also to occupy more territory."
Lei Yuntong said this, of course, he consciously or unconsciously looked at things from the perspective of the previous generals, and subconsciously felt that opening up the territory was called scenery.
Jin Ding immediately shook his head:
"I thought, but who can send us five thousand men! Now Taiwan is also poor people, Taiwan is also vigorously recruiting manpower at this time, and at the same time attracting immigrants, whether it is the imperial court or the national government, of course, it is the priority to show Taiwan. It's cold enough here, if you don't prepare warm clothes first, who won't freeze to death! ”
The warm clothes of this era are really good, and the Taisong Brigade who came to Hokkaido each had a set of cotton clothes and a duck down jacket, so they were not afraid of the cold. At this time, the ordinary soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty Army who were far away in the Great Song Dynasty relied on a robe to keep out the cold, and the robe was not filled with cotton, but filled with hemp and a little silk cotton, and the effect of keeping out the cold was much worse than that of cotton clothes.
"Well, it's minus six degrees Celsius today, and it's cold enough to be snowy here!"
This time I came to Hokkaido, and I also brought a mercury thermometer, which is a thermometer that Mao Geng uses as the benchmark for the critical temperature of water freezing and boiling, so that Jinding can naturally grasp the climate situation here, so as to provide reference opinions according to local conditions.
In fact, cold is still secondary, the key is that Hokkaido is still too far away from the Great Song Dynasty, and it is imperative to show Taiwan nearby. Whether it is the Song Dynasty court, the Special Administrative Region, or even Zhao Luan, the ruler of Taiwan, even if more manpower is dispatched, it will only be sent to Taiwan first, Taiwan has not yet digested it, Hokkaido should wait!
Tao Wenfu sighed and said:
"To stick to this stronghold, Lord Lei also said that he wanted to occupy more territory, and also take into account the livelihood with Japan and Goryeo, if he wanted to take root here, he could not but do planting and raising, alas! That's too few people. ”
"Moreover, in the future, the scale of our fishing must be more than 100,000 catties a day, and whaling also has potential, so not to mention 5,000 people, 2,000 people are at least. Also, we are all men, and if we run here for a long time, we can't do without women, and if we don't have women, something will happen after a long time. ”
"How's the Xia woman?" , Lei Yuntong thinks it's not bad to use local materials.
"Hey! Forget it, I won't stop you from loving Xia people, I can't do it anyway, I don't think most people will like Xia people. How can Tao Wenfu see it!
Yang Zhe smiled:
"Lord Kim, why don't you go to Goryeo and buy some women."
Lei Yun Tong said:
"I think Hokkaido is good here, you can settle here, I intend to let the concubine come over first. I think there are other people who want to settle down here, and they bring over one or two hundred family members, anyway, after arriving here, they don't have to worry about not making money. ”
"I think it's good to raise ducks here, and if those fish are lost in the water, they will be lost in vain, if they are used to raise chickens and ducks, even if they raise 10,000 or 20,000 chickens and ducks, it will not hurt." Yang Zhe has a strong awareness of recycling resources.
"Well, that's a good point, raising ducks can also collect eiderdown, but it kills two birds with one stone." , Tao Wenfu agreed.
"Then you have to prepare warm clothes. It's not difficult, just get some fur from the Xia descendants. Jin Ding felt that logistics had to keep up. The Xia people here can trade their furs, which can be exchanged for their furs at a small price, and these furs can be used to make high-quality furs. The top clothing of the Great Song Dynasty is the fur coat, and the most expensive fur is worth a thousand yuan.
A group of people discussed and discussed, and felt that the shape of this place was very good, there was not only the potential to expand the territory, but also enough space for fishing exhibitions, and the abundance of fishery resources was beyond imagination, and it was not worse than the trade with Japan and Goryeo. Moreover, it is a huge island, with a vast land and sparsely populated areas, and may really have great planting and breeding potential in the future.
So, after some deliberation, in the end, it was concluded that it was necessary to do everything possible to pull more people over, such as the exiles of the Great Song Dynasty, who could be exiled to Hokkaido, and probably the Great Song Dynasty would not object to this construction, anyway, the travel expenses were covered by the Taiwan Song Dynasty Haimao, and warm clothes could also be included. The place of exile is so far away, presumably these people will never have a chance to endanger the Great Song Dynasty again.
Secondly, it is to attract these 600 Taiwan and Song Haimao employees who came here to bring their families over, as Lei Yuntong said, there are 100 people who have this thought, in addition to being colder here, in fact, it is by no means worse than Taiwan, and when it comes to making money, you can make more. The family members of the employees of the Taiwan Song Dynasty Haimao who work in the Special Zone Group have a monthly salary of only a little more than two times, and Jin Ding decided that if the family members can come to Hokkaido, the monthly salary of three times a month is only a lot more, such as drying fish and smoking fish, and other jobs, women can be competent.
As for buying Korean women, you can also give it a try, spend three or four thousand, if you can buy a hundred Korean women to do some rough work, it is also cost-effective. As for the Japanese woman, it is not in the consideration.
Yu Shiman, as a representative of Shuanglu Gelatin Company, also came to Hokkaido, and there were five employees who boiled glue with him, and after arriving in Hokkaido, he not only had to boil fish bladder glue, but also was responsible for boiling bone glue and leather glue.
Strictly speaking, the swim bladder of salmon, herring, cod and saury is not a good raw material for boiling fish bladder glue, but the fish bladder glue opened in the special zone is very versatile, but it is not necessary to pursue the best adhesive strength, such as making zuò cod liver oil gel coat, moderate adhesive power is enough, so all fish bladders are collected according to the order and are used to boil fish maw glue.
The fish here are really many, and the swim bladders picked are dozens or hundreds of catties at a time. If you had faced 5,000 catties of swim bladders before, I am afraid that it would take at least fifty or sixty young men to deal with it. Because the most important process of glue making is manual glue pounding, which is quite a job that consumes the body, pounding glue for a day, it is quite tiring, and people who are slightly inferior to the body are absolutely unbearable. However, Mao Te made a glue pounding machine, driven by a small boiler steam power, this machine qì, on the top of the fifty young strong, as long as two people operate, it can be worth the previous fifty people pounding glue.
In addition, the high-pressure iron pot is also a good appliance for boiling glue, and the thermal insulation pot can also be called an artifact. The two utensils made by Maote make it much easier to boil glue.
In the past, it was necessary to boil glue for a day and a night, that is, for 24 hours, and within 24 hours, it was necessary to boil slowly, and the water could not be boiled, which was quite laborious, and it was particularly easy to burn the swim bladder.
Nowadays, when boiling, first use a high-pressure iron pot with four pressing screws to boil for five minutes, after removing the foam, throw it into the insulating pot, boil it every eight hours, 24 hours later, even if the glue is boiled, not to mention the saving of manpower and material resources, the thing of pasting the pot will never be born.
Five or six people can boil 5,000 catties of fish maw into fish bladder glue, which was never imagined before, but now, this is the truth.
It seems that there is an additional machine for pounding glue, because it seems that in the future, it will be possible to provide double the amount of fish bladder, and the whale bones will also be boiled into bone glue, so it is obviously wiser to increase the machine than to increase manpower.
