This time when I went back to Suzhou City, I asked for 5,000 people to find Lao Feng, and Yang Zhi had already had this idea.

In the Jinling Army, he is only a thousand households, and the only people who can use it are the thousand household battalion in his hands, even if you add the people brought from Songzhou, it is less than 2,000 people.

Two thousand people is far from enough for Yang Zhi to do.

With these 5,000 soldiers under Lin Yang, it was different, and after coming back, the first thing Yang Zhi did was to improve the few broken ships in his thousand-household battalion.

For this reason, he also borrowed several of the largest warships from Tang Changyun, and then took craftsmen to transform these ships every day.

Tang Changyun didn't know what Yang Zhi was going to do, but she knew that Yang Zhi had a lot of ghost ideas, so she didn't stop her, and she also wanted to see if Yang Zhi's transformed warship was really useful.

Just the time spent on renovating the warship, Yang Zhi spent six days, and then almost twenty boats, and finally got what he wanted.

In the past few days, the 5,000 soldiers in Suzhou have also been arranged to train like the Jinling Army, training their water nature, and they must adapt to fighting on a warship, at least they will not get seasick.

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water!

Yang Zhi went to the surrounding fishing villages to check during this time, and found that the fishermen of this era, even if they go to sea, the catch is pitiful, and there are not many that can be sold.

Coupled with the threat of Ryukyu pirates, fishermen did not dare to go too far into the deep sea, so they could only fish nearby.

Where are there fish for them to fight, Yang Zhi's transformation of the warship is according to the appearance of a fishing boat, and then he also made advanced fishing nets.

So on the seventh day, Yang Zhi took 3,000 people and drove these more than 20 boats out to sea, this is the first time he has taken this kind of wooden boat, there is no way, he has to solve the current problem first.

Yang Zhi's warship is already the largest warship in the Jinling Army, and it is generally the command ship of the generals of the Jinling Army, which can accommodate up to 300 people on board, not including sailors, who have hundreds of sailors.

After Yang Zhi's transformation of the sails, the speed has increased a lot, but the defense is still very poor.

More than 20 warships went to sea in a mighty way, and those who didn't know thought that Yang Zhi was preparing to lead the troops to hunt down those Ryukyu pirates.

When the fishermen who were fishing nearby saw so many warships of the Dasheng Dynasty, they all watched excitedly as these warships went deeper into the deeper sea.

Of course, Yang Zhi didn't go to find those Ryukyu pirates, he wanted to try whether his improved fishing nets were really useful, and his purpose this time was to return with a full load.

Yang Zhi is also the first time to be so close to the sea, two lives, he is at most standing on the seaside to see, never standing in the sea looking at the endless sea around him, if there is no sea chart, if you blindly enter the sea, you will definitely lose your direction.

Yang Zhi did not go deeper, but after reaching a certain position, he began to release the net, and then waited, because Yang Zhi did not personally experience this kind of thing, he had to try first to know if his method was really useful.

In this way, it took Yang Zhi three days to slowly find the law, but fortunately, when he went to sea this time, he brought a few old fishermen and craftsmen.

Constant experimentation, this fishing is closely related to the weather, wind direction, and where there are more fish, these are particular.

Yang Zhi also learned a lot from the mouths of old fishermen, who naturally could not catch a large number of fish because of their poor tools and lack of large equipment.

The big net that Yang Zhi transformed, as well as the huge runner installed on the boat, when hundreds of people pulled it together, the big fish in that net even had tens of thousands of catties, looking at the dense fish that were pulled up, several fishermen were so excited that they knelt on the ground and cried.

They even regard Yang Zhi as a god, they are a fishing village, and they can't catch such a net of fish in a year, and the dense fish look like countless silver.

Yang Zhi laughed, if he succeeded, then what he promised Lao Feng would be considered half of the success.

You must know that it is difficult for the people in this era to have meat to eat, mutton is expensive, and there are not many freshwater fish, and people are needed to fish and fight.

If you can eat meat, it is a big family, and only the powerful families can have meat.

The people who live by the sea also make a living from fish, and fishermen will also exchange fish for silver and then buy food, but the price of this fish is also ridiculously high, and ordinary people cannot afford to eat it.

A pound of carp costs about 50 yuan, and if it is other deep-sea fish, the price is even higher, and many fishermen stay in the sea for a few days, and they may not be able to catch deep-sea fish.

On the fifth day of going to sea, Yang Zhiju came back with more than 20 boats, and when the people on the shore looked at the more than 20 boats of fish that were loaded with fish, the onlookers were like seeing a fairy, and they all knelt together.

Even Tang Changyun was shocked by what Yang Zhi did, Jinling Wangfu has guarded the south of the Yangtze River for hundreds of years, she has grown up by the sea since she was a child, and she has never seen so many fish in her life.

All kinds of fish, even some fish, she didn't even know the name.

Not to mention that Tang Changyun doesn't know it, even those old fishermen don't know a lot of fish, and they don't even know if they can eat it.

But for Yang Zhi, a foodie, isn't it simple, like Eastern Star Grouper, Tiger Grouper, Eel and the like, if Yang Zhi didn't say it, no one would know it at all.

Yang Zhi instructed his subordinates to classify them, and at the same time thought that so many fish, even if they were for the Jinling army, they would not be able to eat them all in a month.

His purpose was not to catch fish for his own consumption, he wanted to sell fish, and when the price of fish was already so cheap that it was the same price as grain, could the price of those grain merchants still rise?

So Yang Zhi found Tang Changyun, and now this Changyun County Lord is already convinced of Yang Zhi, she doesn't say it, in fact, she has already regarded Yang Zhi as a strange person in her heart.

The fish that Yang Zhi brought back this time alone are comparable to the income of Jinling Wangfu for a year, and there are more than 20 boats, all of which are fish, too much, and how much silver they have to sell.

Even people who don't have a concept of silver can imagine that these fish are like piles of silver with white flowers.

"County Lord, you may need the help of the Jinling Palace, transport these fish to various places, and sell them at a low price!"

Yang Zhi directly said his thoughts, and he didn't intend to hide it from Tang Changyun.

"I will classify these fish, and then set a suitable price, and sell them by the Jinling Palace, and the profit will be divided into fifty and fifty, how about it?"

Yang Zhi can't help it, don't look at the fifty-fifty split, and the price is low, but I can't bear the quantity, so many fish, even if it costs a few pennies, it will cost a lot of silver.

"Okay, I'll immediately arrange for the steward of the palace to take care of this matter!"
