In the morning, I sat in the dining room and began to calculate, it was another busy day, and it had been arranged before, and today I would enter the palace to discuss the official plan of the first 'three-year plan' from the second year of Hongwu to the fourth year of Hongwu. In addition, when I just woke up, Freehand came in and said that the palace sent a copy of the report of the Camp Kai Division.

About this year's winter catch.

The winter fishing in the Zhoushan fishery in the first year of Hongwu began on the twenty-ninth day of September and officially ended on the twentieth day of the previous lunar month, lasting exactly 81 days.

In two months and two decades, Mingzhou Yinghaisi caught a total of 830,000 quintals, that is, 83 million catties, an average of about 10,000 stone per day, far exceeding the initial expected target of about 500,000 quintals. However, it is actually expected.

After all, I have made enough preparations in advance, and I have accumulated experience in last year's summer fish flood.

Moreover, this is the first time in the history of the Zhoushan fishery to organize a large-scale winter hairtail fishing, which has never been done in the past dynasties, because compared with the summer flood, the winter hairtail fish is along the migratory route of the periphery of the Zhoushan Islands, in this era, it belongs to a relatively remote open sea area.

The first result was an unimaginably abundant catch, with more than one of the king hairtails coming out of the water in recent months, with a length of more than three zhang.

If it weren't for Zhu Yuan's repeated exhortations, asking for restraint, sustainability, and not fishing with all his might, in fact, it would have been easy to achieve the goal of 1 million quintals.

In short, the harvest of 830,000 quintals of fishing and flood in one season happened to be the point before the New Year's Festival to send the news, and the Mingzhou Yinghai Division was asking for credit.

According to the news that Zhu Yuan heard, as early as the morning, Lao Zhu was once again happy, and someone didn't care about the recent happy events.

Of course, the more the merrier.

Therefore, while announcing the reward for the Mingzhou Yinghai Division again, he once again asked to announce the good news of this winter fishing to the world through the "Daming Monthly".

Indirectly, it also shows that Lao Zhu gradually realized the importance of "Daming Monthly".

Let's just say that this month has been determined, 'penicillin', 'Mingzhou winter fishing' and 'Pingming Mingxia', three major events, each of which is enough to cause widespread discussion among people all over the world, and quite clearly show the strong strength and vitality of the newly born Ming Dynasty, and thus make the northern and southern parts that have just been subdued or annexed this year more stable.

Inside the dining room.

Zhu Yuan thought about this, while drinking a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, he looked up by chance, and saw Wu Sanniang hanging his head diagonally, and the big and small girls next to him had strange expressions, and couldn't help but smile and drank three spoonfuls with a spoon, and then said: "It's just like this, just taste a few bites, don't you need to do this?" ”

Everyone: "......"

Wu Sanniang covered her face, feeling that her body was going to soften.

Because I remembered.

My lord......

Wake up this morning...... That's exactly what it says.

At the moment, in front of so many girls, he said that he would run or not.

The atmosphere here was awkward, and a voice came, and Zhu Yuan looked over, it was a tall sycamore. The girl is still very well-dressed, with a brown leather jacket on the top, loose washed blue jeans on the bottom, short boots, and long brown hair still scattered.

Behind Wutong, there is also a warm lady wearing a cloak and hood, dodging and dodging.

With the permission of the house, Wutong entered the door, looked at the table full of food unconsciously, forcibly withdrew it, came to Zhu Yuan's side and bowed down, and pulled Zhu Yuan's small hand and pasted it on his cheek, and said jerkyly: "...... Go out, come and give ...... Daddy...... Goodbye. ”

Zhu Yuan smiled and rubbed the girl's head: "Good girl, who taught you?" ”

Wutong shook his head: "Wutong looks, this is ...... Courtesy. ”

"Actually, it's not stupid," Zhu Yuan said, and looked at the clothes on Wutong's body: "Is it cold?" ”

Wutong shook his head: "No." ”

The former hometown was much colder than here, and she came back to life.

Zhu Yuan thought for a while and said, "You are a bearded girl, it's okay to dress like this, but don't be too ostentatious, and add a cloak when you go out." ”

Wutong didn't understand it this time.

Loulan, who happened to be still there, took the initiative to mumble a few words, and Wutong nodded: "Listen...... Daddy's. ”

Zhu Yuan looked at the dining table and pointed to a stack of pancakes: "Wrap this for her and take it with you to eat ......on the road," he said and jokingly motioned to his side: "You are not allowed to eat indiscriminately outside." ”

Wutong nodded again and again, looking very happy, and I don't know how much I understood.

Zhu Yuan got up late and knew that Nuan Niang might be in a hurry to go to class, so he didn't stay long, and asked someone to wrap a stack of pancakes for Wutong to take, and sent them away.

Waiting for Wutong and Nuan Niang to leave, the weird little atmosphere just now is no longer there, and while continuing to serve his own adults, he turned to another thing: "My lord, find a ...... for Wutong Martial artist, what do you want exactly? ”

"Girls, striking, horseback riding, archery...... Three things are enough," Zhu Yuan said, and motioned to the sack girl on the side: "When the time comes, Xiaoyu can also learn a little bit with him." ”

I agreed to come down freely.

Luo Shui said softly at this time: "My lord, I heard that the practice of martial arts has been since childhood, the sycamore has grown, and the fish are also big, I'm afraid I can't learn it well?" ”

"Learning a little is a little," Zhu Yuan said, "I don't require them to become martial arts masters." ”

It's just a temporary reminder.

Outside the mansion, the Gong Wei Division is responsible for security, and there must be no problem.

Inner house...... In the past, it was ignored.

It's just a sack girl around, not enough.

Thinking about it, he instructed Freehand: "Find a few more, I mean, girls who know martial arts, there should be such people around you." ”

After eating breakfast like this, a moment has passed, more than nine o'clock, it is still a meeting, Zhu Yuan is ready to go out.

Freehand followed, and before his adult got into the sedan chair, he obviously hesitated, but still asked in a whisper: "My lord, Sanniang...... Do you want to mention the monthly money? ”

I went to serve the adults to get up this morning, and I saw it freehand, Wu Sanniang...... Such as the ...... on the neck It's exactly the same as that young lady that day.

Zhu Yuan saw that Freehand was cautious and depressed, stepped forward to hold Nizi's face, kissed it, and said, "I just couldn't help it...... Taste it shallowly, whatever you think the rules are, just do it. ”

Propriety?

That's it.

Of course, Freehand knows the rules, and the lords in the big clan are often like this, and the maids and servants can't all carry their aunts. Not to mention the royal status of the adult.

So he said, "The slave knows." ”

Zhu Yuan then entered the sedan chair.

Routinely...... The sack girl is already waiting in it.

The sedan chair was raised, Zhu Yuan pinched Lin Xiaoyu's chin at his feet, and he took out the transcript of the newspaper that he had simply flipped through before from the briefcase that he was more and more accustomed to carrying with him, and read it in detail.

In addition to the total number of 830,000 quintals of fish harvested in 81 days, there are many subdivisions in the report.

This winter, a total of 830,000 quintals of fish were caught, of which, according to the arrangement of the imperial court, 300,000 quintals were transported to the north or west by inland water transportation as military baggage.

Among them, 200,000 quintals were sent to Dadu and 100,000 quintals were sent to Shu.

In addition, according to the sales plan set before Zhu Yuan's departure, Yinghai has also been shipping the processed fish to Hangzhou, Yangzhou and Jinling for sale in recent months.

The sales situation was much better than Zhu Yuan had expected.

In the same two months, Yinghai sold a total of 360,000 quintals of fish, of which 130,000 quintals were distributed to local merchants for resale. The other 230,000 quintals are arranged for Yinghaisi's own sales team to retail at ports and fish markets in various cities.

Among them, wholesale distribution, that is, each purchase of more than 10 quintals, Yinghai Division also only gave merchants a discount of 10%, according to 18 Wen per catty.

's own retail is 20 wen a catty set by Zhu Yuan.

To sum up, in the process of this winter fishing, Yinghai Division earned a total of 690,000 yuan through the sale of fish. Roughly compared, this figure is already equivalent to half of the current salt tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty.

When Zhu Yuan saw this, he could understand why the sales of fish would go so smoothly after a little thought.

Simple is still two words.

Cheap!

Let's just say that the current grain price in Jinling City has always been about five or so a stone, and one stone is about 150 catties, that is, the price of grain in Jingshi has reached 10 wen yuan a catty.

The catch of Yinghaisi, although it is not fresh fish, is still very cost-effective for 20 wen a catty.

Because......

There's also salt in it.

I considered this problem at the beginning, the ratio of fish to salt is about nine to one, which is not so accurate, because in the process of salting and baking, the weight of the fish will shrink, so the calculation is that 1 kg of processed fish is about 2 taels of salt.

In this era, 1 catty is 16 taels.

After careful calculation, the current official price of salt is 30 wen a catty, 2 taels of salt, and the price is already 6 wen, that is to say, 20 wen is not only equivalent to getting nearly a catty of fish and meat for 14 wen, but also getting salt worth 6 wen.

The price of fish and meat has dropped to 14 Wen, which is not much different from the price of grain.

The problem is that even if you don't know the calories and nutrients of food, people can understand that fish and meat are more filling than rice, with the same weight.

Well, one more question.

In two months and two decades, 83 million catties of fish were caught, how much did it cost to camp in Mingzhou?

The report also mentions.

The current Mingzhou Yinghai Division...... To be precise, the number of fishermen in the seven prefectures that control a total of seven prefectures from Songjiang in the north to Wenzhou has a total of 46,000 households and 153,000 people over the age of 8 according to the registration carried out before Zhu Yuan's return.

Among them, 32,000 households, with a total of 119,000 people over the age of 8, are in Minnesotens.

Moreover, this is the result of the request of Wu Liang, deputy envoy of the Guangzhou Yinghai Branch, to allocate a part of the experienced fishermen to support the various Yinghai Divisions.

A total of 153,000 people, this time to go to sea, more than 1,300 fishing boats were dispatched, and the labor force that went to sea was actually less than 50,000.

Of course, everyone who doesn't go to sea actually has credit.

From shipbuilding to weaving nets to pickling and baking, and even subsequent sales, every link is indispensable.

On average, it is equivalent to 5.4 quintals of fish per person in less than three months, which is unimaginable on the current land.

At the end of the report, Mingzhou also mentioned the production target for the next year: 3 million quintals.

Spring, summer and winter, three seasons of fishing, 1 million quintals per season.

This is the upper limit of the sea fishing output value set by Zhu Yuan earlier in the entire coastal area of Daming next year, and now, just one of the Mingzhou Yinghai Division is enough to support it.

Zhu Yuan also knows that this figure is actually quite conservative.

Mingzhou should also understand that at the moment, if you give a not so high number, and next year you will exceed the task again, it will be another merit.

Coupled with the gradual spread of other coastal areas from Shandong to Guangdong, Zhu Yuan's previous target of achieving 20 million quintals of fishing in 10 years may be more radical and can be completed in half the time planned.

20 million quintals, equivalent to 2 billion catties, according to the proportion of 1,000 catties equal to 1 ton determined by Zhu Yuan before, it is 2 million tons.

The annual output of 2 million tons is actually far below the fishery potential of at least 10 million tons along China's coast.

However, in the past, it should have been added to the statistics of offshore fishing, and now, it is not easy to go to the open sea to fish, and it can only be fished in the near sea, so it cannot be too aggressive.

Reaching an annual output of 20 million quintals, which is equivalent to contributing an additional grain tax revenue to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuan plans to limit it.

lest you fish with all your might.

Thinking like this, the sedan chair had stopped in front of the east pavilion on the left side of Fengtianmen in the imperial city.

Zhu Yuan walked out of the sedan chair, and happened to meet Yang Xian, the secretary of the Ministry who came from the noon gate, and when he saw Zhu Yuan, Yang Xian smiled and took a few steps forward, and Shi Li said: "I've seen Pingzhang, but Pingzhang has read the Mingzhou Newspaper?" ”

Zhu Yuan nodded: "I just finished reading it." ”

"In less than three months, 830,000 quintals of fishing, the sea is really rich," Yang Xian sighed, and turned to Zhu Yuan: "Speaking of which, this is also the credit of Pingzhang, if there is no Pingzhang to propose to open up the ocean, we Daming can get such a good livelihood." ”

Zhu Yuan said modestly: "The idea is actually the most worthless, the key is still Mingzhou, everyone is doing a good job." ”

"Pingzhang, this is too humble."

After saying a few words, seeing that Li Shanchang also walked over from the direction of the noon gate, no matter what he thought in his heart, he still greeted him with a salute on the surface.

After saying a few words, Li Shanchang walked to the conference room first, Yang Xian stopped, and before parting from Zhu Yuan, he seemed to have no intention of saying: "Yinghai Division is so eye-catching, I'm afraid that Hebo Division will be mentioned again." ”

Kawabo?

Yang Xian didn't mention it, Zhu Yuan had to forget about it.

Lao Zhu said before that Zhu Yuan vetoed it. Because of this, he added a nickname to himself: Zhu Duancai.

Cut off people's financial routes.

Without waiting for Zhu Yuan to answer, Yang Xian had already bowed his hand and walked to the conference room.

Zhu Yuan greeted Kang Maocai, the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and the camp envoy of the field, who also came to greet him, and there was still a little time before he was right, so he turned to Lao Zhu's study on the East Pavilion first.

As soon as he entered the door, Lao Zhu, who was bowing his head and reviewing the recital, had already said: "Mingzhou recital, but have you read it?" ”

Zhu Yuan took the initiative to pull over his special chair and sit down, and said, "After seeing it, what does the ancestor think?" ”

"You said that earlier...... It will take 10 years to achieve the goal of 20 million quintals of fish and create another Ming tax, I don't dare to believe it all," Lao Zhu shook his head: "I didn't think about it, but next year, Jiangsu and Zhejiang will have 3 million quintals, I can see that this is still conservative." If Shandong, Fujian and Guangdong are added, I am afraid that next year, 5 million quintals...... You have to be conservative too. In this way, 20 million quintals, where can it be used for 10 years. ”

Zhu Yuan said with a smile: "Yuan'er also thought just now, I'm afraid that 5 years will be enough, but things can't be rushed." Earlier, I said in a letter to my ancestors that the sea is a field, how abundant, my ancestors have seen it, but the sea is also fragile, and we must take care of it very carefully, so as to avoid destroying the continuous output of this field, so that our children and grandchildren can continue to enjoy the output of this field for thousands of years to come, instead of drying it up in one or two generations, turning the sea into a desert, and leaving nothing. ”

Lao Zhu heard Zhu Yuan say this, put away his joyful expression, nodded seriously, and then laughed again: "You kid...... This old ...... Yes...... Too old to become some. ”

"Ancestor, you know me," Zhu Yuan also laughed: "I just look small." ”

Lao Zhu snorted, remembered one, and said: "I also ordered the Mingzhou Yinghai Si to report the merits to the Mingzhou Camp this morning, this time...... Or without you, how to think? ”

"Ancestor, I am my own family, so I don't need to talk about this all the time." Zhu Yuan said: "Moreover, after living two lifetimes, what I showed in front of my ancestors is true. Yuan'er enjoys a little bit of her daily life, but if you say more, I really don't care, I just hope that this life will be safe and stable, and it will not be wasted, which is enough. ”

Lao Zhu nodded lightly, and suddenly sighed inexplicably: "Back then...... If only you were like you...... Alas...... Don't talk about these old things. ”

Lao Zhu has no head and no brains, but Zhu Yuan understands.

This is thinking of Zhu Wenzheng again.

Back then, Zhu Wenzheng kept saying that he was not in a hurry first, and when his uncle became a great cause, how could he lose his merits. Can...... After killing Chen Youliang, Lao Zhu went to the ministers last time, and temporarily skipped his nephew, and Zhu Wenzheng was unbalanced.

Many people's feelings about this period of history are that Lao Zhu deliberately got rid of his nephew, but ...... Zhu Yuan still insists on his own attitude.

After Chen Youliang was destroyed, he learned that his nephew, who was still stationed in Hongdu, had all kinds of misdeeds because he had not been rewarded, and even had a bad heart, Lao Zhu's reaction was to leave Jinling and travel thousands of miles to the city of Hongdu, asking his nephew, 'What do you want to do'.

If it is a black-bellied person who wants to get rid of his nephew, where does he need to do so much.

Under the conclusive evidence, someone was sent to arrest Zhu Wenzheng, depose and imprison him, and he was neat.

As for Lao Zhu, he didn't give a reward.

On the one hand, I really remember my nephew's words, on the other hand, at that time, Zhu Wenzheng was already the governor of Congyipin, and Lao Zhu was only the king of Wu who was Zhengyipin, how else could he be rewarded?

Could it be ...... One king, another king?

Moreover, after the founding of the country, Lao Zhu did not feel sorry for his nephew, there was a Ming Dynasty, the king of Jingjiang was a line, obviously the king of the county, but he enjoyed the treatment of a prince.

It's like making the other two nieces princesses.

For his family, Lao Zhu subconsciously gave more.

Therefore, for Zhu Wenzheng, if it is a conspiracy that is not enough for outsiders, without any family affection, with Lao Zhu's temperament, he will not give so much. Since it was given, it was not Lao Zhu, who guessed from another angle, felt ashamed, but it was a manifestation of his inner calmness.

Just like Shi Zai Lao Zhu said to his nephew who was afraid after learning that his father was deposed, to the effect: Don't be afraid, although your father is a bastard, it will not affect you, and when you grow up, your uncle will still knight you.

If it was other black-bellied emperors, they would probably forget about it. Before you know it, maybe a nephew will disappear from everyone's sight.

This is a common thing.

Lao Zhu did what he said, and he gave more than normal.

Well.

It's subversive again, right?

In fact, if we can put aside the inherent concepts that have been unconsciously instilled from childhood to adulthood, and carefully analyze and think through various details, everyone can find more subversions.

Probably ......

Oh.

It turned out that this man ...... Like, perhaps, it should ...... It's not what I used to think.

So.

Why did it become that way?

This...... It's another interesting thing to think about.

As for whether the historical record will be fake?

Roughly browsing a historical figure, such as Lao Zhu, various records, records, biographies, wild histories, etc., can basically clearly outline the life experience and character outline of the other party.

As for the parts of it that seem out of place with the impression of the subject, it is likely to be fake.

For example, the inexplicable praise of King Yan that always occasionally pops up in "The Record of Taizu", and even Lao Zhu shouted 'King Yan is coming' when he was dying, and the feeling is very distorted. Lao Zhu's attitude of passing on the throne to his grandson in the last years was very clear, so he did not hesitate to carry some infamy to help his grandson pave the way.

Inside the study of the East Pavilion.

The two grandparents sighed and the other wandered, both of them were silent for a short time, and then quickly recovered.

Lao Zhu turned to business first: "This time, Liu Lian, Fang Li and Yao Feng in Mingzhou can all be promoted to one level, and besides, the camp envoy can't always be vacant, Yuan'er, what do you think of the three of them?" ”

Liu Lian, Fang Li and Yao Feng are now the four products of the Yinghai Division, and they are promoted to the next level, which is the deputy envoy of Yinghai alongside Wu Liang, Hu Weiyong, and He Huai.

As for the higher-level battalion sea envoys, the three of them were all a little worse.

Liu Lian is too straight.

Fang Li...... It is also necessary to restrict, after all, the Fang family was entrenched in Zhejiang before, and similar things, Zhu Yuan's attitude is that it is best not to give people the opportunity to make mistakes.

As for Yao Feng, he is competent in terms of engineering and manufacturing, and he is a little worse than he is in charge of the overall situation.

Several of the other Yinghai Divisions, because they all lacked experience, Zhu Yuan was even more dissatisfied.

Thinking so, Zhu Yuan also bluntly said his thoughts, and finally said: "Ancestor, if you don't have three deputy envoys of Yinghai for a year, and then take a look, it just so happens that the Zhoushan Fishing Ground off the coast of Mingzhou, as the largest fishing ground along the coast of Daming, is larger than the other three Yinghai subdivisions combined, and it is also worthy of the three deputy envoys of Yinghai." As for the envoys of the camp...... I don't think it matters if there is one or not for the time being, heh...... Or I'll help my ancestors watch, it's enough. ”

Next year......

Whether it is the Mingzhou Yinghai Division, or the three major Yinghai Divisions in other provinces, it will be fully rolled out.

In this situation, it is better to be still than to be still.

Maintaining the status quo and continuing to look at it again will also make it clearer to distinguish the capabilities of coastal people for subsequent adjustments.

Even, now there are fewer pits.

Wait another year, the same many things will be rolled out, and there will be more personnel vacancies, and you will be able to assign and dispatch more calmly.

Won't let any one be too aggrieved.

For those who have followed him, Zhu Yuan does not want them to be wronged even though they have done things, but also hopes that they will be in a position where they can do things in the future, instead of simply being promoted, but idle, unable to give full play to their talents.

Lao Zhu thought about next year, and nodded: "That's it, you look at it, I can rest assured...... You also mentioned this matter earlier, and I thought about it, and I should also make it clear. ”

In fact, with the acquiescence of Lao Zhu, the imperial court, as a deputy minister, still took into account the previous variety, whether it was the Navy Governor's Mansion or the Battalion and Sea Division, or a series of new departments recently, Zhu Yuan was asked to intervene from time to time.

However, these ministries are not clear.

Zhu Yuan can manage it if he wants to, and when he doesn't want to manage it, he can ignore it.

Similarly, if the people below have other thoughts and don't want to report to a young man who has already resigned some official positions, they can also ignore it.

Well.

Nothing like this has happened yet.

Zhu Yuan feels that this also proves that his busy year is not a failure.

Zhu Yuan thought so, and took the initiative to mention another thing he had thought about before: "Ancestor, this winter fishing, the harvest of the Mingzhou Yinghai Division is still very rich, especially the part of the sales, in addition, the city shipping division, which is also under the jurisdiction of the Yinghai Division, this year's trade and tax revenue should also be good, I think that unless the imperial court is in urgent need, otherwise, the center should not be in a hurry to draw from it, but all of it will be invested in the construction of the coast, including the construction of the navy." ”

"Heh, you said that these are all reasonable, I don't lack this patience," Lao Zhu nodded, and said: "That's it, the cost of this silver money has to be watched more carefully." ”

"I arranged it before I came back, let Liu Lian be in charge of the accounts," Zhu Yuan said: "After this reward and promotion, Liu Lian can also supervise the accounts of the various Yinghai branches, for Liu Lian, I think the ancestors must be at ease." ”

"Liu Ji's son, how can you not worry."

Zhu Yuan laughed: "I don't know what Liu Bowen is doing now?" ”

Lao Zhu Cheng came over: "You don't have to worry about him anymore, I don't care about him, just let him be safe and stable, and it can be regarded as giving me a share first." ”

Zhu Yuan habitually patted on the back: "The mind of the ancestor is not as good as the ancestor." ”

"That is, with you, in just this year, I have understood a lot, I know how to govern the country in the future, how to use people, and even the things of a hundred years and thousands of years, I can think clearly," Lao Zhu also sighed: "If not, I still have to worry about Liu Ji." ”

The old Zhu ...... is indeed a love and hate for Liu Ji. This time, because of Zhu Yuan's big butterfly, he saw it very openly.

Zhu Yuan only mentioned one sentence and didn't say anything more.

The two ancestors and grandsons briefly talked about the personnel and financial arrangements of the Mingzhou Yinghai Division, and seeing that the time was about the same, they got up together and turned to the conference room next door.

(End of chapter)
