"It's not a simple word that can be described, even if Zhao Guo and the Six Kingdoms can't eat it together, the fish we catch only account for a very, very small part of the ocean, which is not enough for the ocean to produce in a day." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

In these years, there is no such thing as cherished fish, and Zhao Guo has never divided the species of fish sold, and after fishing and drying, he will pack it directly, and he will send it to where he should be sent to where he is.

The development of Zhaoguo's fishery has always been plagued by two problems: it is difficult to popularize and store it to the people.

Although Zhao State won the sea outlet from Qi State and Yan State, the coastline is not long, and it is affected by the impact of the river, and the coastal area is mostly tidal flats, and the scale of private fishing is destined to not develop.

Coupled with the high cost of fishing, if nothing else, you must at least have a boat, a boat that can go to sea, even if it is broken, it is enough for a family with a better family to save for several generations.

In case of another capsizing, it should not be said that in case, the possibility of capsizing in this era is still very high, and the savings of several generations of the family will sink to the bottom of the sea......

As for fishing and catching the sea...... Unless it is the kind where one person feeds the whole family and does not go hungry, it is a question whether he can feed the family.

If the coastline of Zhao is long enough, the scale of folk fishing will develop, and it will not be a problem to solve the problem of food and clothing for everyone, and even eat meat.

The speed of fishing is much faster than farming.

However, this is not realistic, and the storage problem alone limits the scale of Zhao's fishing.

The farthest place where Zhao Guo is currently fishing is only near the confluence of the Yellow and Bohai Seas, not that he can't go further, but the fish on the boat will be bad if he is farther away.

If it is summer, it can only go to sea during the day and return in the evening, and then the personnel on the shore will pick up the fish and marinate it overnight.

In the case of no freezing and refrigeration, the best way to improve the shelf life is to use salt, and thanks to the fact that salt is not worth much now, if the price of salt is the same as before, Zhao Kuo can't do it even if he wants to.

】

Jiang Taigong began to develop the benefits of fish and salt, and Qi Xiangguan Zhong also vigorously developed the benefits of fish and salt, don't they know that there are many fish in the sea?

What can I do? Even if you can catch more fish, how can you transport and store them?

There is no way to transport and store it, you can only throw it in the field and compost it, and it has to be a field by the sea, and you can't transport it far away.

That is, the cost of salt production in Zhao Guo has been reduced to a very low level, so it can be played like this.

It is said that because the price of salted fish is too low, some people along the coast of Zhao have begun to use salted fish as salt, and put salted fish in the dish when stewing vegetables, which can not only save salt, but also eat meat.

Although the price of salt has dropped a lot, it costs money anyway, and it is much more expensive than salted fish, so it can save a little bit.

"Then is there a way for everyone in my Zhao Kingdom to eat fish during the New Year?" Zhao Ji asked expectantly.

"We can't do it yet, because there are a lot of fish in the sea, but the speed at which we can catch them is limited. In addition to this, shipping is also an issue. It will not be possible until the size of the fleet has been expanded and all the official roads at the county level have been repaired. This kind of benefit is either not given by everyone, or everyone must give it, otherwise the part of the people who do not receive the benefit will inevitably have opinions. Zhao Kuo shook his head.

If Zhao is like Qi, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the transportation is convenient enough, there is a chance that everyone can eat fish, but Zhao Guo obviously does not have this condition.

In addition to the Qi country, there is also a sparsely populated Yue country with a developed shipbuilding industry.

For a period of time, Yue Guo really fed more than half of the people in the country by fishing. Even now, the country has not given up fishing.

The carriage was not moving fast, stopping and stopping along the way, and after leaving Handan, Zhao Kuo had to stop for a while whenever he went to a place.

Even if you don't go into the village to talk to people, you can tell a thing or two by standing on the side of the road and looking at the crops in the fields.

If Qianmo is neat, there are no weeds in the field, and the edge of the field is also very clean, not to mention the good or bad life of everyone, at least it is stable.

On the other hand, if the fields are overgrown with weeds, or even deserted and uncultivated, it means that there has been a recent turmoil here, or the government is harsh, and the people can no longer survive, so they have fled to other places.

Whether there are mulberry trees in the field or not shows that the people here never engage in sericulture.

Whether there is anyone grazing cattle, or the number of cattle, can generally tell whether there are enough cattle in the local area.

Where the popularity of ploughing cattle is high, the level of agriculture is bound to be high. It's the same anyway.

The construction of water conservancy projects can show the level of governance of local officials.

……

There were no accidents along the way, and no accidents were possible.

There are post stations in every township and county of Zhao State, and this road is one of the most important official roads in Zhao State, and you can stop and rest at any time.

"Why do we have to charge money to live?" When leaving the post station, An Ning asked curiously.

"Everyone has to pay for it." Zhao Kuo said.

In addition to the post post, the post station also has the function of providing a resting place for officials who come and go.

However, not only officials could stay at the post station of Zhao State, but also merchants, workers, and civilians, and everyone could stay.

Of course, you definitely have to pay for it, but it's not expensive, and places with a lot of people can generally be full, especially in winter, and it often takes a few people to squeeze into a room, but even so, it's stronger than staying outside to blow the cold wind.

The cost of lodging at the post office, together with the advertising on the envelope, supported most of the money required for the operation of the post office.

Zhao only needs to fill a small part of the money into it every year to maintain the normal operation of the post station, instead of investing a lot of money into it every year like those dynasties in history, and in the end the post station still can't support it.

"Isn't that unfair to officials who travel on business?" An Ning said that people do things for the country, but in the end they have to spend their own money, how can there be such a reason.

"They can wait until they go back and get the voucher for reimbursement." Zhao Kuo shook the voucher in his hand and said.

This is not his invention, there was a long time ago, but it is called a deed, similar to the invoice of later generations, mainly used for buying and selling, after the transaction between the two parties, the transaction items and prices should be written on the deed, and then divided into two halves, and the buyer and seller are one and a half.

If there is a revolving incident later, it will be based on the deed.

Zhao Kuo just pushed forward and used it on the post station.

In addition, the voucher of the post station should also indicate the time, number of people, and name.

The official who went on a business trip went back with the voucher, and if the above time coincided with the official time, he would be reimbursed, otherwise, out of pocket.

This is also to prevent some officials from taking advantage of their power and recklessly appropriating resources.

Although there are few such people, they are not impossible.

We must not let those who abide by morality suffer, and those who do not abide by morality take advantage, and if this is done for a long time, everyone will develop in the direction of immorality.
