After Cheng Chumo and his team caught a shark, it seemed as if the team's luck had improved. After casting the net again, many strange fish that were rarely seen on land were caught.
Seeing the caught fish, Xu Yunyan sighed here.
"It seems that the shark was hunting here just now and scared away the fish. Now the shark has come back without the fish school, allowing me to catch so many fish easily."
Xu Yun had just finished sighing here. After being prompted by Chang Sun Chong, Li Chengqian's eyes couldn't help but shine as he looked at the baskets of fish caught.
"I'll go out to sea once, and the fish I got will be over a thousand kilograms now, right? Such a lot of fish, if we really encounter a famine, they will be a good thing to save people."
Li Chengqian had just finished lamenting here that they had easily obtained thousands of catties of fish, and Changsun Chong was talking here.
"Yes, this is meat that is more valuable than rice and grain! A thousand pounds of meat to make soup is not enough for a thousand households in a day, right?
After all, these thousand households belong to one town. If we wait for more ships, a county town will be included. "
When Changsun Chong said this, Li Chengqian slapped his thigh.
"Yes, this is really what we should prepare vigorously. Even if it is not to help the victims, we actually don't want such a thing to happen. However, we are very lucky to have such supplies after the accident."
Li Chengqian was just sighing here, but Changsun Chong came to pour cold water on him again.
"His Royal Highness, there is another question. If there is such a problem near the sea, there is no need for me to wait for relief. There are enough fish in the sea.
But if such a situation really happens inland, I won’t be able to eat the seafood before it’s shipped over. What should I do? "
It was originally a good thing, but now it encountered such a problem, which made Li Chengqian feel a little helpless. Then Li Chengqian looked at Xu Yunyan.
"Master, I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
Xu Yunyan looked at Li Chengqian and asked himself, Changsun Chong also looked at him anxiously, and then smiled at them.
"Your Highness, this is easy to do."
As soon as Xu Yunyan said this was convenient, Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong were waiting here for his next step.
“Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgotten our salt farm by the sea?
After these seafood are caught, they are made into dried fish as soon as possible. They can be air-dried without salting, so that they can be stored for a long time. "
Xu Yunyan is the simplest and most convenient way, but after he just said it, Li Chengqian hasn't said anything yet. It seems that Changsun Chong, who has really studied hard in the farm and gained a lot of insights, said here in embarrassment.
"What General Li said is very simple, but once the seafood is dried, its weight decreases sharply. It is very valuable to be able to retain three to five hundred kilograms of this thousand kilograms of fish. In this way, the amount of disaster relief is reduced a lot, and there is too much waste."
When Changsun Chong said this, Li Chengqian immediately looked at Xu Yunyan worriedly.
"Master, isn't there any better way? The fish we have worked so hard to catch cannot play its full role. I can't bear to accept it!"
Seeing both of them looking at him anxiously, Xu Yunyan smiled again.
"Your Highness, this is not a difficult task. We can make more dried fish when the year is good.
Can be transported to the north to supply our army. They were stationed at the border but had little food, so they were rewarded with seafood.
As for the relief mentioned by His Majesty, one thing is to store a batch of dried fish. Another point is, did His Majesty forget the canned food? "
"can?"
As soon as Xu Yunyan mentioned canned food, Changsun Chong and Li Chengqian slapped their thighs.
How come they forgot about the canned food that Xu Yunyan once developed? Nowadays, the army has unanimous praise. When marching and fighting, having cans of various delicacies from the mountains and seas can ensure the supplies of the soldiers. Although it is not a large-scale supply, it is only supplied during wartime, but it also makes them have high fighting spirit.
"I understand Master, what you mean is that we can use local materials to make cans and transport them wherever there is a disaster. We can also supplement the supplies for the soldiers at the border. This is a very good plan."
And just when Li Chengqian was saying that Xu Yunyan's method was good, Xu Yunyan couldn't stop complaining here.
Isn't this the simplest way? If various delicacies were made in later generations, wouldn't they be popular in the streets?
As long as he had a way, Li Chengqian was not in a hurry to return to Hong Kong with this seafood, and just spoke here with great pride.
"Tell the people in the other boat to turn on all the engines and catch a lot of fish. We'll do some canning when we get back."
Li Chengqian was very proud at this moment, but when Changsun Chong was about to compliment Li Chengqian, Xu Yunyan hurriedly stepped out of the crowd and spoke here one step ahead.
"Your Highness, this seems inappropriate, right?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Li Chengqian looked at Xu Yunyan, and Xu Yunyan explained directly, "Your Highness, we need clay pots to make cans, but we don't have clay pots yet, and we need to build a clay pot factory first.
After this pottery pot factory is built and produces pottery pots, the fish will probably be inedible, so I don’t need to catch too much now, just enough for us to eat and make some dried fish for storage. , topping up too much is also a waste.
There is no way we can take them to the market and sell them for profit from the people. "
Xu Yunyan had just finished speaking, and just when he was thinking that Li Chengqian would listen to his suggestion, Li Chengqian started talking directly here.
"Master, you are absolutely right. Our purpose of going out to sea this time is not only to fish but also to train our troops. Since the fish can be sold, what do we have to fear? Let's catch more fish quickly."
Hearing that Li Chengqian was really ready to compete with the people, Xu Yunyan slapped his face with his hand.
What a sin, what did you do? Everything changed after being reminded by myself.
But while Xu Yunyan was covering his face here, Li Chengqian continued to say, "When we sell this fish, of course the price will be the cheapest, so let's set it at one penny per catty. The money from selling the fish is just enough to build a boat."
Xu Yunyan didn't think about it at this time, but when he thought of the terrible consequences of selling fish for a pound, Xu Yunyan shuddered and hurriedly tried to dissuade Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness must not act like this. If we act like this, how can these fishermen who make a living by fishing in the sea survive? Doesn't this cut off their financial resources and make it impossible for them to live anymore?"
Li Chengxian shivered instantly when he heard this.
"Master taught me that I was overthinking. I was not thinking about profiting from the people, and I didn't think about selling the fish cheaply, but it made the lives of many fishermen on this seaside miserable. I wonder if Master has any good suggestions?"
"As I said before, Your Highness, let me go back. When the clay pots are ready for canning, we will come back.
At that time, you can catch as many as you want, how good is that? It just so happened that Mr. Cheng and others also caught a shark. I'll try it when I go back. Is this fish delicious? "
Under Xu Yunyan's earnest advice, Li Chengqian finally made up his mind.
"What Master said is true. Then I will go back now. There is no need to waste any more time here. Since this thing is effective now, let Master build more sea ships here, not for anything else, just to be able to It comes in handy during particularly difficult times.”
Xu Yunyan hurriedly promised, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I am here to do this. I will definitely create a navy in Qiongzhou that can be dispatched at any time to solve problems for our Datang."
After Xu Yunyan said this, the other boat, Changshu, reluctantly followed Li Chengqian's order and began to return to Hong Kong.
Just after turning the ship's bow, the crew on the watchtower shouted loudly.
"Look to the south, there's a water column!"
After he shouted these words, Li Chengqian and others who had never been to the beach before, but strangely enough, people who were not seasick ran from the bow to the stern again, and looked at the water column in the sky in the distance on the railing with emotion.
"I never thought there would be such a situation on the sea."
Seeing this water column, Xu Yunyan was shocked, "Raise all the sails and return with all your strength. That's where the giant fish is, and that's the water sprayed out by the giant fish."
If they collide with a ship, the ship will be damaged at least, and the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed at worst. "
This suddenly frightened Li Chengqian.
"What, is that where the giant fish is?"
