"So His Majesty called us here to ask for money?"
"Hey! I've suffered the loss of not asking the price before when I bought something. Why can't I remember it this time?"
"Aren't you eager to get the glory of the Supreme Emperor and build a few more for us? Just forget about this...!"
When the old guys left the imperial study, the smiles on their faces immediately disappeared and they muttered in annoyance.
"Forget it, buy it at a high price and enjoy it in advance. How many years can we live?"
"That's true. Money earned should be spent, right?"
"Yes! I estimate that even if it is released in large quantities, the price will not be less than five thousand gold! We can enjoy it for a few months, it will be worth it!"
"Yep……!"
There is no way, the high price has been spent, and the old goods can only comfort themselves.
After leaving the palace, everyone went back to their respective mansions!
…
Nanhai County, Nanhai City.
The Ministry of Industry has built a seafood processing plant and has hired several capable people from various stores to serve as factory directors and workshop managers.
Male and female workers were recruited from among the local people.
As soon as the workers arrived, the factory director began to organize the drying of sea salt.
Whether you are drying or canning fish, salt is essential.
Before the navy catches the fish, train the workers and make sea salt!
In addition, the glass factory in Nanhai County also shipped many glass bottles for canning.
After the cans are ready, the production date, fish type, eating method, nutritional value, etc. must be printed on each glass bottle.
Even people who have never come into contact with these fish and shrimps will know how to eat them after reading the above introduction!
Since the fishing matter was finalized, Han Xin transferred 50,000 navy officers to Nanhai City.
Part of it is fishing, part of it is normal training, and Xin Sheng is in charge!
"Is everyone ready?"
At the port of Nanhai City, Xin Shenglian stood with his hands in his hands, facing the ships and naval officers about to go out to sea, shouting questions.
"Ready!"
The soldiers responded in unison.
Although they are not going to the battlefield, they can earn more money by going fishing, which is also a great motivation for them!
"Go to sea immediately!"
Xin Sheng waved the flag in his hand and immediately issued the order.
"Woooo..."
The steamer had been ready for the order.
Give the order and set off immediately!
Each ship is equipped with a fishing net just made by Ying Feiyu's order, and its fishing ability is much stronger than their traditional fishing nets.
Coupled with the ecological environment of this era, every network will have great gains.
"Your Majesty said that after the fish we catch is sent to the factory, we will be given dividends based on the price. I don't know how much we can get!"
"Then it probably depends on how many fish we can catch, right?"
"Well! Although this fishing net looks a bit strange, as long as it is something that His Majesty is researching, there is nothing that is not easy to use. It can definitely catch more than our traditional fishing nets!"
"Yes, yes, let's just wait and get the dividends...!"
The steamer gradually left the port and sailed towards the target sea area. The soldiers stood on the deck and began to discuss.
The ship rode the wind and waves on the sea and arrived at the destination sea area after about half a day.
The soldiers began to work together to throw fishing nets.
When the harvest came, all the soldiers were shocked.
In the past, they could harvest hundreds or even thousands of catties in one net, and they were all very happy. At least it was enough for the officers and men on the ship to have a good meal.
But this net harvested at least tens of thousands of catties of fish and shrimp.
The deck is covered with fresh fish and shrimps.
"Good guy, this fishing net is so easy to use. Can you catch so many fish and shrimps in one net?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that either!"
"This is the first net. When we dock in three days, we can catch at least 100,000 catties!"
"Yeah! Almost...!"
Seeing the bountiful fish catch, the soldiers were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.
You know, the more they catch, the more dividends they get in the end!
Navy officers have a clear division of labor, and some are responsible for casting and closing the net.
The other part is responsible for moving the caught fish and shrimp from the deck to the cabin and performing simple processing to prevent them from spoiling!
Although these jobs may be dirty and tiring, the soldiers are doing it enthusiastically.
Before joining the army, we were all children of ordinary people. We had to work in the fields when we were seven or eight years old. Bearing hardships and standing hard work were all basic operations!
As long as they have money, they are full of energy!
…
Three days later, it was the day when the soldiers who went to sea to fish returned.
The soldiers training in the city took advantage of their free time and ran to the dock to wait, wanting to see how much they could gain from one trip?
"I heard that the salary in many factories has reached ten gold per month. I wonder if our dividends from fishing can reach this figure!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! We have the normal salary from the court, and fishing is considered extra income. How can we be given such a high salary?"
"That's right! I'll be content with just three or five pieces of gold!"
"No! Three or five gold coins can buy a fat pig, enough to feed the family for a long time...!"
While the soldiers were waiting, they speculated on how much the fishing dividends would be.
"Woooo..."
After a while, I finally heard the sound of the steamer.
Then, dense dots appeared on the sea surface.
The dots grew larger and larger, roaring toward the port with white smoke.
"Back! Back! Finally back!"
The soldiers were jumping and cheering on the shore, waving to the small dots on the sea in the distance. I wonder if they could see them.
"woo woo woo woo……"
After a while, the steamer seemed to have spotted them and sounded its whistle to signal them.
Xin Sheng got the news and rushed over. He wanted to know the fishing harvest as soon as possible so that he could report back to Xianyang!
The steamer was very fast and arrived at the port in a short time.
The soldiers couldn't wait to jump off the boat, and saluted Xin Sheng with joyful faces and clasped their fists, "General!"
"Yeah! It looks like a good harvest!"
Without even getting on the boat, Xin Sheng had already guessed everything just by looking at the expressions of the soldiers.
"Haha! Thanks to the fishing net made by His Majesty, it is much easier to use than the one we had before!"
The soldiers reported with a smile.
"How much? How much? How many were beaten?"
"It has to be thirty thousand kilograms anyway, right?"
Before Xin Sheng could ask specifically, some soldiers started asking impatiently.
However, the soldier who had just returned from the sea smiled mysteriously and shook his head, "You are talking about one day, right?"
"one day?"
"So, you went to sea for three days and caught 100,000 catties of fish?"
"Good guy...!"
When the soldiers heard this number, their jaws almost dropped.
I thought that 30,000 kilograms was a lot, but I didn’t expect that it was only a day’s quantity!
"Is there really such a huge harvest?"
Even Xin Sheng was a little incredulous and asked in surprise.
"Back to the general, the fishing nets made by His Majesty are very useful. Each net can catch about 10,000 catties of fish. After three days, each boat has harvested almost 100,000 catties!"
The soldiers reported truthfully.
"Okay, okay! The factory has prepared a vehicle to help them unload the fish and shrimp onto the boat, repair it a little, and go out to sea again!"
The factory learned that the fishing boat was returning today and arranged manpower and vehicles early in the morning to wait to pick up the seafood on the boat.
As long as the soldiers dumped the fish and shrimp into the boat, they would immediately load them into trucks and take them away and send them to the factory for processing!
"yes!"
The soldiers responded and hurried to do it.
