Faintly heard the sound of the horn, in the cabin, the 13-year-old boy opened his eyes, did not light the lamp, taking advantage of the faint light reflected outside the cabin, found that his husband on the bed next door had gotten up at some point, hurriedly jumped up, felt the darkness and quickly dressed and washed, all the way to the door of the upper cabin of this thousand material ship, only to slow down.

The surroundings were still shrouded in night, and the starlight above their heads was sparse, but there were fishing fires around them, as if the heavens and the earth were turned upside down.

His eyes swept around, and the boy's breathing stabilized. According to the teacher's usual teachings, he walked into the cabin without hurrying.

The crowd was sitting around a long table.

When the young man entered the door, he saw Mr. looking over, so he gave up his hand and said apologetically: "The disciple has slept, please punish him." ”

Li Gui looked at the disciple who was getting more and more satisfied during this time, shook his head with a smile, and said, "You have been running around at sea in recent days, and you are also tired, so I specially let you sleep more today, and you still have to be diligent in the future." ”

Liu Chaosheng hurriedly surrendered his hand again.

Then he didn't forget to greet the others: "Chaosheng has seen Wang Qianhu, Qi Zhixian, and everyone." ”

Wang Wuhe, who was in charge of the protection of this sea fishing, and Qi Sheng, the magistrate of Xiangshan County, who was ordered to come from Xiangshan County, also smiled and nodded, and the others echoed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Who doesn't love a polite little teenager?

After greeting, everyone turned to business, Li Gui and the other two people and the surrounding officials continued to discuss today's sea fishing route, and Liu Chaosheng was in charge of delivering paper and pens or serving tea and water on the periphery in an orderly manner.

Today is the 10th day of the fourth month.

The fleet departed from Dinghai on the sixth day of April and arrived yesterday at the seaport of Hepu Island in the south of Xiangshan, which is an official port determined by the Ming Navy in advance, and is located on the north-south water transport route, so there is also a lighthouse.

In addition, Hepu Port is only 60 miles away from the Yushan Islands in the southeast, which is the starting point of this sea fishing, Yushan Fishing Ground.

When the day dawned, counting the local Xiangshan and the ships that came from Wentai in the south, a huge fishing team of more than 20,000 people had breakfast, and countless ships of all sizes left the port one after another with the horn of departure, and headed for the open sea.

Through repeated observation and detection, the Yinghai Division confirmed that there would not be too much wind and waves in the sea outside Xiangshan in the next three days. Three days is the weather forecast limit officially stipulated by the Yinghai Division, and the forecast beyond three days cannot be counted.

Therefore, this sea fishing operation will last for three days in the open sea, starting on the morning of April 10 and returning on the afternoon of April 12.

There is no wind today.

The fleet relied on manpower until late afternoon, when it arrived in the vicinity of the Yushan Islands, and in the distance one of the islands could be seen rising plumes of smoke, which was another recently erected navigation lighthouse, and a team of twenty people with two small flags was stationed on a daily basis.

Fishermen from nearby boats can make an emergency stop in the direction of the lighthouse and get help.

In the vast sea, a total of more than 1,600 large and small ships were scattered, without any crowding, and everyone was concerned about their feet at this time.

The dense school of large yellow croaker visible to the naked eye even reflects the ocean surface in a golden color. You can also hear 'cooing...... The sound of cooing ......', this is the call of the big yellow croaker.

On the eastern periphery of the fishing boat area, two large boats of 500 materials and four small fishing boats form a group, and the two large boats also have eye-catching white numbers, 001 and 002, and not only that, but the sides of the hull are painted with pure white letters.

The two sides of 001 are 'safe production' and 'everyone is responsible', and the two sides of 002 are 'hard production' and 'everyone is striving to be the first'.

Similar slogans, all the big ships under the Mingzhou Fishery Production Company have them, and even the official ships and military ships that followed this time are not lacking in big white characters such as 'government and civilian family' and 'military and civilian family'.

This is naturally all Zhu Yuan's handwriting.

The purpose is to be subtle in some way.

This is a subsection.

The two large ships 001 and 002 constitute the first production team of the Mingzhou Fishery Production Company that went to sea this time, and the captain of the 001 sea ship is Liu Laoqi's eldest son Liu Da, who is also the leader of the first production team.

Coming to the east of the fishing ground with his own production team, looking at the dense schools of fish under his feet, most of the people on the boat felt a little unreal.

This......

Such a thriving fish love has not been seen for many years. Even, some young post-nators are still seeing it for the first time in their lives. It's not that the fish aren't there, it's always there. In previous years, it was difficult for the coastal people to survive, let alone organize a fleet of such a scale to go to the open sea for fishing.

Everyone looked at each other blankly, and when they heard someone shouting in the distance, a lean old man beside Liu Da finally said, "Team leader, let's go to the net too?" ”

Liu Da reacted and nodded hurriedly: "Down, down, ......"

The Liu family could have been silently converted into a private household, after all, Liu Laoqi became an official, and the southeast was in chaos for a few years, and the new dynasty rearranged the household registration, and it was not difficult to quietly change the type of household registration.

However, for the sake of the future of the three grandchildren, Liu Laoqi, who was a little more assertive in his personality after the initial trouble, personally made the decision and still declared the fisherman.

Or for the sake of their own children, the three Liu brothers have no opinion.

This time to the sea, the three brothers all came to the south, which is also the relationship between Liu Laoqi, the three brothers are all team leaders, leading the first to third production teams respectively.

Everyone has no problem with this.

Who let the Liu family have this kind of creation, and the three brothers are also kind-hearted people, compared to other team leaders who have no background, following the group of the three brothers can get more benefits.

Years of turbulent times have led to the waste of the southeast coastal fishery, and the first group of two large ships will operate a small number of fishing, not to mention two large ships with 500 materials. Under the guidance of several old fishermen, two boats approached, carefully unfurling the large ten-zhang long net, and four small boats also cruised over, shuttling in the middle to help spread out.

When the net fell, the four rows of large oars on both ships were also ready to stop.

Liu Da personally took the lead in shouting the trumpet, and the big boat began to move forward slowly, dragging a large ten-zhang long net towards the underwater fish.

Less than a mile before the two elderly fishermen in charge of the observation reminded them to stop.

The fish is too strong, and if you drag it again, the net will burst.

This was followed by netting.

In order to keep the boat balanced, first divide more than half of the people to the side of the big boat, and the other twenty or thirty people are side by side on the other side of the boat, and when they start to try to hold up the big net, they find that there are still too many fish.

Liu Da asked the experienced old fisherman, and summoned four small boats, and unloaded the catch into a part of the small boat before exerting his strength again.

"Hey—hey—hey—"

"From-big-net-heh-"

In the shouting of concerted efforts, when the net finally came out of the water, the sound of the beating of the fish, the chirping of the cooing yellow croaker, and the sound of the fisherman's horn suddenly resounded.

After two quarters of an hour of busyness, the first net of large yellow croaker finally came to the deck of the 001 ship.

Whether it is an old boatman for many years, or a young student who goes to sea for the first time, looking at the fat yellow croaker on the deck, to say the least, is 2,000 catties up, they are a little confused. Some people even thought that if this boat belonged to their own family, just this net of more than 20 quintals of fish would be enough to go home and marry a daughter-in-law.

A few more nets, new houses and big houses, all can be up.

Liu Da, who was stunned, saw that the people around him were also stunned, and took the lead in coming back to his senses, realizing that he should take a leading role, and shouted: "What are you stunned, quickly unload the fish, while the sky is still there, put a few more nets, the camp sea envoy has a command, there are more fishing, and there are many rewards." Old Xuntou, let me take out the basket and ......"

Everyone heard Ryu shouting and began to get busy.

At about the same time, on the ocean surface of dozens of miles around the Yushan Islands, similar to the first production team of Liuda, there were exclamations and praises of the harvest everywhere.

Problems also arose quickly.

In the end, when the first day was close to evening, a 300-year-old sea-going ship of the 26th production team did not expect that a juvenile shark seven or eight feet long was hidden in one of the nets, plus a lot of catches.

Fortunately, there were fishermen nearby, and the Qianliu Navy ship on which Wang Wu of Qianhu was riding happened to pass by and rescued in time, not only did everyone be rescued, but even the overturned boat was saved after being straightened in time.

It's a pity that thousands of pounds of fish on the deck are all dumped out, and the day is in vain.

Li Gui also arrived in time.

In accordance with the regulations, the position of the leader of the 26th production team was revoked, a new person was replaced, and the entire team was asked to conduct a review.

There was no more criticism.

Because...... On this day, seeing boats and boats of bumper harvests, Li Gui's mood was really good.

When it got dark, more than 1,000 fishing boats did not return to Hepu, but gathered around the lighthouse island of the Yushan Islands.

We have conducted an exploration in advance to confirm a suitable location for mooring.

At the same time that Yinghaiwei Qianhu Wang Wu arranged night defense, Li Gui also changed to a small boat of about 200 materials of about six zhang, constantly shuttling between various production teams, roughly counting today's fishing results, and also discovering more problems.

The most serious one is only less than a day, and the network of many production teams has been stretched and cracked.

Even if the net consumption standard set by the Yinghai Division is higher than that of the private weaving net, after all, it cannot withstand the high-intensity fishing, so many production teams are organizing the repair of the fishing net after dark.

And then there is the most important thing, the results.

For example, Liu Da's No. 1 production team started in the afternoon and waited until nightfall, and only four nets were laid in total.

But the catch is abundant.

The first time I went to the net, I found that there were too many fish, and there was a rollover around, so I was careful here, but even so, the first production team went to the net four times, and the preliminary estimate was that the catch was 5,000 to 6,000 catties, equivalent to fifty or sixty quintals.

The first production team has a total of 200 people, and according to the fishing task set by Zhu Yuan, 200 quintals of fish need to be given.

In just one afternoon, the team completed more than a quarter of the fishing task.

By analogy, it is conceivable that as long as everything goes smoothly and only the first three-day sea trip is the first time, the total 8,000 sea fishing tasks of the official fishing team will be completed.

As for the private fishing boats, compared with the total number of the imperial court is only 300, the number of more than 1,300 private people far exceeds the official number, even if the individual size is very small, it is expected that the total amount of sea fishing this time will not be lower than the official.

The plan is to return on April 20,

Today is only the 10th day of the fourth month.

After Li Gui's evening inspection, he came to his own boat and calculated with Qi Sheng, the magistrate of Xiangshan County, and the officials of the Yinghai Division, and came up with the result, but the official team, according to the average daily catch of 2,000 quintals of fish, if there is no wind and waves in the next ten days, it is conservatively estimated that they can bring 20,000 quintals of fish back to Dinghai.

This is more than twice as many tasks as the little adults assigned by the camp sea.

Li Gui also knew that this summer fishing flood, someone's ultimate goal was 100,000 quintals of fish, and now it seems that ...... What is this goal?

Just at present, there are more than 1,600 large and small boats on the fishing grounds of Yushan Fishery, which is expected to be 50,000 quintals.

As for 100,000 quintals......

If the fishing boats on the Dinghai side could get enough nets before, all of them would go south this time, and the goal of 100,000 quintals would not have to wait for any small flood to arrive in the Zhoushan area after the fishing flood.

Rigui had a good idea, but forgot that the plan could never catch up with the change.

On the first day of the fleet's harvesting, the nets of the linen nets, which were already unusable in those days, were generally broken. The next day, after an equally busy day, the corresponding problems became more serious, and even though the camp Haisi urgently ordered the production teams to use the fishing nets carefully that night, the problems continued to be serious on the third day.

On the afternoon of April 12, he returned on time.

As soon as the fleet docked at Hepu Port, Liu Da carried a pair of shark shark fins, which were also an unexpected catch of the group, and ran to visit his son first.

Three days before, father and son had met at sea and did not speak.

came to the cabin where Liu Chaosheng and Li Gui lived together, put down the shark fin, Liu Da ignored his son's stop, and began to help take care of it, eager to take Mr. Li's clothes to wash, until his son knelt down and hugged his thigh to stop, Liu Da finally stopped.

Shark fins were not left either.

The son's meaning, neither the husband nor himself can accept it, and he also reminded his father that it should be kept in the account, after all, this is a precious thing that can be exchanged for successful labor.

Liu Da didn't care about the credit.

However, since it was the son who said it, of course he had to do it.

can't delay his son's future.

After speaking, he left the cabin where his son lived, and quietly asked people to bring the shark fin back first, and Liu Dacai rushed to the upper cabin of the big ship of the camp sea.

There's already a meeting going on here.

There is only one problem, if the Yinghai Division does not immediately raise hemp to repair the fishing nets, by the way, soak the tung oil again for waterproof treatment, and then, there will be no way to go to sea!

However, not to mention the hemp material, the fleet did not carry much tung oil this time.

In the face of problems, Li Gui is also in difficulty.

In three days, although the detailed statistics have not yet been released, the goal of 8,000 quintals of fish must be more than enough.

The problem is that the nets of the various production teams are also almost damaged.

In addition to Li Gui's distress, he also thought of the folk proverb of 'three days of fishing and two days of drying nets', which is really 'three days', not much at all! can only send a boat to rush back to Dinghai with both sun and moon, and let Yinghai Si find a way.

The goal has been achieved.

Do you go back directly, or wait for the hemp to be replenished?
