The Great Yan Kingdom did not prohibit the sea, so the maritime trade flourished.

The world is known for the extravagance of maritime merchants, and it is speculated that the sea must have been very profitable, and it must have been slightly easier to earn money than on land.

However, not all people who live by the sea can profit from the sea, and they can lick a hint of frosting and taste the sweetness of wealth on the cake of wealth obtained by the sea.

On the contrary, because of the rise of maritime commerce and the prosperity of overseas trade, a large number of wealthy families with nowhere to circulate their wealth have been created.

According to the Chinese tradition, the habit engraved in the bones made these maritime merchants constantly annex land, so that around several prosperous cities in the port, ordinary people were basically reduced to tenant farmers or hired laborers, and even became the earliest industrial workers because of the huge demand for silk, porcelain and other bulk hot goods.

Although the law of the imperial court is chaotic, but after all, the rules on the surface are still there, there are only a few ports with foreign trade power, Zhao Hengyi wants to engage in overseas trade in Sanya Bay, which is actually illegal, and will even be resisted by the maritime merchants.

Therefore, he faces many problems, and naturally there are many choices, but at the moment, he needs to choose a port to create momentum and win some people's hearts.

It's not that Zhao Hengyi doesn't care about those big families and sea merchants, but these people are difficult to win over, and they don't need to be wooed.

Even if they rely on the sea, these people make a lot of money, but their greed for wealth will never be satisfied, as long as there are nine flowers and silver mirrors, as long as they can continue to produce a steady stream of novelty products, then Zhao Hengyi and Sanya Bay can always be sought after by these people.

But ordinary people are different, no matter how many Nine Flowers Jade Dew and Silver Mirror Zhao Hengyi sells, it has nothing to do with those people who need to find a way to fill their stomachs when they open their eyes every day, or just keep themselves from starving to death.

Those big families and sea merchants have been rich for too long, so that they are never willing to lower their heads to take a look, and the ant-like people under their feet will not care about the life or death of these people.

Taking Ningbo as an example, commerce and trade here are developed, and the surrounding land has long been annexed, and the fields that are regarded as the foundation of the Chinese people have basically lost the possibility of circulation, and even if there is a transaction, it is still circulated among the same class.

Except for a small number of people who lost their land, most of the remaining people entered the textile workshops, porcelain kilns and other trading industries under the unconscious choice, and after several generations, they have already become large-scale industrial workers.

This is the germ of capitalism that later generations talked about, and those ordinary people who once entered the vast trade chain, if nothing else, the vast majority of people's children and grandchildren will work in the workshops for the rest of their lives until they can no longer work, or, as in this year, after the great drought and floods, the price of food soars, and the wages earned are not enough to feed the family, and slowly wither in despair.

There are many cooperation with commercial banks in Ningbo, Zhao Hengyi has a more comprehensive grasp of the situation in Ningbo, and the eyes of later generations can always see something different.

The people who come to Sanya Bay to work are getting easier and easier to recruit, and even because of the good reputation accumulated before, the local commercial house in Ningbo, which cooperates with Zhao Hengyi, can pick and choose when recruiting people, which improves the quality of craftsmen and even people's husbands.

But behind all this, there is a silent indication that the price of grain near Ningbo has risen again.

At first glance, this looks like a black joke, and the land of fish and rice in the world's impression will actually rise wildly because of the lack of food.

But in fact, at the moment of Dayan Kingdom, there are not many fields near Ningbo that are really used to grow grain.

Even, every year, grain has to be transferred from other places into Ningbo Prefecture to relieve the pressure brought by grain.

The fields are planted with cash crops, how much can I earn by growing food?

As for the soaring food prices, for the wealthy families, it is just a sigh of emotion, and this year they have let those grain sellers catch it again!

But for the small people of Shengdou, especially those industrial workers who work in the workshop, it is a matter of life and death.

Many of these earliest people, who actively or passively became the burghers, lived a life where they worked today and had wages to buy rice today.

Once the price of rice and grain rises, the wages that were sufficient to meet the living expenses will not be enough, and what awaits them may be a lifetime of debts that cannot be repaid, or they may starve to death on the side of the street.

These tragedies, those families or entrenched merchants, are invisible, or they may see but take it for granted, after all, similar things will be staged every few years, or natural disasters, or man-made, in short, it is like an endless cycle of reincarnation, similar plots continue to be staged in this land.

The grain consumed in Sanya Bay has signed a long-term agreement with a large grain merchant and is transported from a farther distance, even if the daily consumption is huge, there is still no need to worry.

What's more, with the continuous migration of displaced people, the number of fields reclaimed is increasing, and with the blessing of Sanya Bay's unique climate, the newly reclaimed fields can be planted with suitable food at any time, which is nothing more than that the yield of the new fields will be lower in the first two years.

Zhao Hengyi did not ignore the life and death of other people just because he had food to eat, not to mention that if he wanted to really gain a foothold in Sanya Bay and obtain a stable population supply, it was not a long-term solution to rely on migrating and displacing people alone.

Ningbo City is the target of Zhao Hengyi's experiment, there is a way to do it is better to be familiar than to be cooked, think about it, those commercial houses that cooperate with Sanya Bay will not blame him, after all, what Zhao Hengyi wants to do can also be called a Buddha of ten thousand families.

The full Ruochang and Ruoyi sailed out of Linchuan Port, the two training ships used for training in the Qiongzhou regiment were renamed not long ago, and the six small ones only won the naming rights, and when the lottery was drawn, Ruochang Ruoyi twin sisters actually won the lottery at the same time, so the two ships will be named after the little girl.

At first, Zhao Hengyi was worried that the little sister would come up with a name for rouge gouache, but the result was not bad, that is, the other sisters pulled his shirt and made him agree to be a brother-in-law, and in the future, there must be a sea ship named after someone else.

If Chang Ruoyi left the port this time, he was preparing for the fishing, but according to Zhao Hengyi's arrangement, this thing needs to be grasped step by step, starting from a small one.

Neither ship is a big ship, each with a full crew of 300 people, all for training, and if it is controlled normally, half of the people is enough.

Out of the sea, the two ships went straight to the sea off Ningbo along the offshore channel in an orderly manner, and Song Ying'an, who led the team, let people put down the boat on the boat after arriving at the destination.

With a slightly red face, Song Ying'an began to follow the explanation of his virtuous brother Zhao Hengyi, and hit the boat gang of the boat with a hard object......

Knock knock knock...... Knock knock knock...... Knock Knock......

The soldiers looked confused, didn't they say drills? Running so far, just waiting to see the deputy regiment training envoy knocking on the boat?

Song Yingan was also very helpless, but Zhao Hengyi told him that he could catch fish, a lot of fish...... And he believed.

really started to operate, but Song Ying'an felt very weak...... Isn't this child's play?

Could it be that I am playing music for the fish?

The special and fixed rhythm continued to sound on the boat, and just when Song Yingan couldn't stand the gaze of everyone and was about to give up, an exclamation suddenly came!

"Look! The sea turned yellow! Something was pouring up from below...... Dragon King ?!! ”
