Twenty tons.

It took less than a morning to get so many catches.

The fishing boat docked.

The workers who were waiting on the shore immediately entered a busy state, taking advantage of the freshness of the fish in the fish warehouse, quickly transferred to the processing plant not far from the wharf, slaughtered and cleaned, and then salted and baked into dried fish, or cut into pieces and added ingredients to make canned fish; There are also high-quality fish meat that is machine-beaten and processed into fish balls and fish sausages.

The liver of some fish can also be used to make cod liver oil, which has the effect of treating night blindness.

The offal can also be dried and ground into powder to become a high-quality feed.

Even the last remaining fish bones can be turned into fertilizer for crops.

As long as it is used properly, the whole body of the marine fish is a treasure, and all of them can be used effectively.

Of course, for human beings, the greatest value of marine fish and seafood is to cook them in the freshest state after they are caught on the boat and made into delicious dishes.

For example, today's catch of this boat, long before the landing, dozens of the fattest large yellow croaker, redhead fish, octopus, crabs, lobsters, etc., put into an additional tank to maintain their vitality, after docking, these seafood will be handed over to the best chef to deal with, and soon put on the table for people to enjoy.

Xu Yuan picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of large yellow croaker meat in his mouth, and his eyes lit up.

"Delicious, delicious! Such a wild yellow croaker weighing more than 20 catties, with this taste, put it in modern society, at least a thousand yuan a catty, right? Only rich big bosses have the conditions to eat, right? ”

"This moray eel is also very good, the meat is firm and firm, it is also delicious, and the white fish soup is delicious."

"And this plate of octopus, this big crab weighing more than ten pounds, is extremely delicious, and it is all wild, and it has not suffered any industrial pollution."

A seafood feast was a satisfying meal.

Xu Yuan's stomach was also round, and he sat on the chair for a long time to eat, and many thoughts and ideas popped up in his mind.

And strengthened a belief: we must not engage in those low-end industrialization with serious pollution on the side of the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and even destroy those backward industrial facilities to protect the environment of this world.

Because of these delicious wild seafood, this sea should be best protected, and it is best to always be in the most natural state, rather than a dirty mess like modern society, where there are pollutants such as microplastics, oil pollution, heavy metals, pesticide residues, nuclear radiation, etc.

Don't talk about 'pollution first, then treatment', many pollution is irreversible, without tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years, it cannot be naturally degraded, even if the cost of investing in the sky, it cannot be restored to the original state.

In this case, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the world could not follow the old road of modern society, Xu Yuan must become an extreme environmentalist, except for the highest-end industrialization, any low-end industrialization can not be carried out, and can only be led by his Xu Jiazhuang.

No way, he is not for his own selfish interests, but for the endless seafood in this sea, in order to protect the most natural and primitive ecological environment, I believe everyone will understand his kindness.

Speaking of seafood, Xu Yuan also thought of a business opportunity in his mind, can he sell the high-quality pollution-free wild seafood in the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty to the modern society, even if it is only sold for 100 yuan / catty, and the wholesale of tens of thousands of tons per month can also bring a huge income of 2 billion yuan per month, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to sell it, which is much more promising than pouring precious metals.

More importantly, marine fish and seafood are renewable resources, which can catch millions or tens of millions of tons every year, which is a sustainable development industry, which is simply promising.

However, now the number of electric fishing boats is not much, only 20 boats, even if the average daily fishing is carried out to sea once, the next time full load, it is more than 400 tons of fishing per day, more than 10,000 tons a month, it can completely meet the needs of more than 400,000 people in Xujiazhuang to eat fish, and even take out part of the external sales, but a large number of upside-down modern society, there is no such output at present, can only wait for the increase in the number of fishing boats in the future.

……

With the first voyage of the 'Ocean No. 1' fishing boat, it returned with a full load.

Since then, 20 electric fishing boats have taken to sea, bringing in more and more fish catches and providing a steady stream of marine fish and seafood.

Not to mention the reduction of food consumption.

More than 3,000 new jobs have been created.

Brought a new wealthy industry.

It was only after the summer grain harvest began on 10 August that the problem of grain shortage in Xujiazhuang was completely alleviated and the crisis of possible grain shortage was solved.

After a harvest period of about a week.

At present, Xujiazhuang, which has about 250,000 mu of cultivated land (the harbor city occupies 100,000 mu of cultivated land in Rugao County), accounts for only 45% of the cultivated area of summer grain.

A total of 823,000 koku of rice was harvested.

1,415,000 stone of potatoes were harvested.

626,000 stone of sweet potatoes were harvested.

The total summer grain production was nearly 3 million stones, an increase of about 50 percent from last year (excluding the corn harvested last month).

Bumper harvest.

This year is a very good bumper harvest, and it also declares that some businessmen in the Jiangnan area who are unfriendly to Xujiazhuang have completely bankrupted their attempt to blockade Xujiazhuang with grain, and Xujiazhuang's bumper harvest this year can completely achieve 100% self-sufficiency in grain, and even export some grain to foreign countries.

"Don't sell the grain in the future, now the number of displaced people who come to Xujiazhuang is increasing, increasing the population by 10,000 or 20,000 every month, and some of the displaced people are simply deliberately led to our Xujiazhuang, wanting to increase the population pressure on us and make our Xujiazhuang poor and devastated! It can be described as very vicious, but the most difficult moment has passed, and an increase in population means an increase in strength! In two or three months, our total population will exceed the 500,000 mark. ”

"This has brought us challenges, but more is still an opportunity, as long as the 500,000 people are fully utilized, transformed into productivity, into the most valuable human intelligence data, can greatly enhance our overall strength, bring about new qualitative changes."

"Therefore, not only can grain not be exported, but it is also necessary to purchase a large amount of grain from the villages and towns around the collective estates, so as to prevent it from happening in the first place, and to avoid the situation of being overstretched and some collective estates almost running out of grain, and the issue of food security must be put in the first place!"

At the autumn harvest meeting, Xu Yuan summed up the lessons and emphatically said.

"Yes, owner."

"This year, not a single grain will be sold, all of them will be eaten by their own people, and all the villagers will be fed and fattened! It is far better to transform into real strength than to become hungry gold and silver. ”

"I think non-staple foods such as vermicelli, dried tofu, and sweet potato flour can still be sold, and we can't eat them all at all, so we will only hoard more and more in the warehouse, so it's better to sell them."

"It's still a matter of situation, if there are too many internal digestions, we will sell them externally, anyway, we will give priority to ensuring that our own food is sufficient, and under this premise, we will sell the food that is really excessive, and deal with it according to different situations."

After discussing the issue of food.

A more important topic was also put on the table for discussion.

Expansion of the army.

Xujiazhuang is about to start the second round of army expansion.

It is planned to increase the number of village guards from a very small scale of 1,550 to more than 10,000 people, and turn it into a strong army of 10,000 people.

In other words, the current Xujiazhuang does not face much external military threat, and more than 1,000 members of the village are enough for self-defense, why do you suddenly want to expand the army?

In fact, the main reason is not caused by the external environment, but that Xujiazhuang is now absorbing too many people, and it will soon exceed the 500,000 mark, and it will continue to grow in the future.

Among these people, there are honest bankrupt peasants, homeless and hungry people who can't survive in their hometowns, but there are also rogues mixed in, there are ghost spies sent by Jiangnan gentry and businessmen, and even murderers, death row criminals, thieves, Haikou and other criminals, the purpose of infiltrating Xujiazhuang is not to come here to work in a down-to-earth manner, but to do a hard job.

As a result of the mixed composition of the population and the mud and sand, the internal security situation in Xujiazhuang has deteriorated in recent months, and criminal incidents have occurred frequently, and even major vicious incidents such as murder and seeking money have occurred.

Although Xujiazhuang has carried out strict martial law, carried out two or three strike-hard activities, and has already shot more than 500 criminals, the short-term deterrent effect is there, but the long-term deterrent effect is not, and the fundamental reason is that the number of members of the village guards is too small, and there are loopholes in public order everywhere, so that some people can't help but take risks.

The best way is to expand the army and greatly increase the number of village guards.

After some discussion.

A specific plan for the expansion of the army was brought out.

The main content is: the total number of village guards should be increased from 1,550 to 11,550.

Among them, 7,000 people were selected from the young and strong who joined Xujiazhuang earlier, and the reserve players were preferred.

Among them, 2,000 people were selected from the young and strong who joined Xujiazhuang later, and they were required to have started a family, have a clean family background, have no criminal records, and have a good reputation.

The remaining 1,000 people are recruited from surrounding villages and towns outside Xujiazhuang or neighboring states and counties, requiring parents to be alive, have children in the family, and have a good family background.
