In fact, fishermen have been a hard, tiring, and unprofitable job since ancient times. They only become fishermen if they can't survive.
As long as there is some way to survive, who would want to become a fisherman at sea?
Because this stuff doesn’t make any money!
Therefore, since ancient times, it has been said that people who rely on mountains to eat, rely on the sea to eat, and ban the sea will cut off the fishermen's way of making money.
Fish is something that can only be eaten by the surrounding counties near the water.
If it is far away, if it requires a carriage to walk for half a day, it will basically be impossible to eat.
The fish will stink without ice, especially sea fish, which smell very quickly and have a strong fishy smell.
It's a little far away from the sea, and it takes a long time to transport it. Who can seriously eat sea fish?
Therefore, even if the sea has countless wealth and rich fishery resources, it is worthless without suitable transportation channels!
Some people say that you can make salted fish, but this seems to be a dream!
Before the advancement of salt refining technology, salt was still very expensive. Selling salted fish was almost the same as selling salt. Selling it privately was illegal, and few people could afford it.
You really can’t make much money from sea fish. If all the villages on the seaside become fishermen, they will only be able to catch enough to feed themselves.
If you want to make a fortune from this, that’s bullshit!
Because there is no market!
Of course, some people say dried fish!
If you go to dry the fish without salting it, it is a blessing from God if you can dry it.
The weather at the beach may rain three times a day or not rain for three days.
The weather at the seaside is not something that ordinary people can take advantage of. Even when they go fishing at sea, they occasionally lose their lives due to bad weather.
Therefore, fishermen are very miserable. There are so many fish in the sea, but they can't make a fortune!
But things are different now.
“Dad, you don’t know, the crabs on the beach are so big and plentiful!
Look at this, it’s as big as a small face!
There are many on the beach!
Those fishermen didn’t want to eat anything they had to eat!
Even though the crab shell is extremely hard, use the back of the pliers to crack it open and the meat inside will be particularly delicious! "
Fu Yuechi helped his old father knock the crab meat out of his tongs, then dipped it in the sauce and put it in his bowl: "Try it!"
Fu Tianqiu looked at the crab stick that was about the size of his fist in his bowl, picked it up with chopsticks, and silently took a bite.
I have to say, I don’t know if it’s the crab meat itself that tastes particularly delicious, or it’s the dipping sauce that makes the crab meat particularly delicious. Anyway, it’s delicious.
Much tastier than whale meat!
But this is delicious, and only the nobles can afford it!
"How much does this crab and whale meat cost?"
After all, he is still a person who has been a minister. He has already started to think about things while eating, and he has figured out the key points as soon as he thinks about it!
No matter whether this thing is delicious or not, it can be eaten and used as food to make him full!
Then this thing is useful!
He didn't know that his two daughters were waiting for him to ask for the price!
“Whale meat is cheaper, but not much cheaper. Two pounds of pork is exchanged for one pound of whale meat!
This big lobster weighs more than ten kilograms!
It’s too expensive!
It’s about the same price as mutton!
This crab is the cheapest, because crabs are not easy to die. Even if there is no god to help refrigerate it, put it in a bucket with some sea water to moisten it, and it will not die easily in three to five days!
So, this is the price of a pound of dog meat!
In fact, the cheapest thing is that other small and medium-sized sea fish can be caught in a net!
It is said that the Human King is now thinking about asking the gods to study how to produce salt from seawater in the simplest and most labor-saving method.
At that time, these salted fish can be freely bought and sold within the control of Jinhua Mansion!
It’s just a bit of business tax! "
I just asked a question subconsciously, but my eldest daughter actually recited her answer without hesitation!
It seems that he has been prepared for it!
He smiled bitterly: "The married daughter threw water. It seems that now you want to help your man plot against your father?"
Fu Qingfeng sighed softly: "Dad, there is a reason for the human king to appear in the world.
Although it cannot be said that those who go along will prosper and those who go against will perish, this is the general trend of the human race, which cannot be changed or reversed!
Why are you so hard on yourself?
Now the King of Human Beings is thinking of ways to keep the people within his sphere of influence full!
Why don't you help!
After all, the ancient saints once said that the people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important!
Now in Daliang, there are severe droughts in the north, and millions of people in the north are going hungry year after year.
How many babies starve to death before they reach adulthood?
How many people starve to death on the road to escape!
How many people eat dirt to the point of exhausting themselves to death!
I heard that some people exchanged their children with other people’s to eat!
Dad, you are an official in Daliang, but you are even more of a human being!
And he’s also a scholar!
A literary sage once said that a scholar has a character and a scholar has virtue, so he said: Cultivate your character, manage your family, govern your country, and bring peace to the world!
Nowadays, all the people are wailing, corpses are lying in the mountains and fields, and people are dying of hunger everywhere. If scholars like you don't stand up and help the King of Humanity put an end to this disaster.
It's not right to use the people affected by the disaster as weapons to force the king to make compromises!
Father, being loyal to the emperor and serving the country is of course right and blameless, but the people must be settled well! "
This was not taught by anyone!
But Qingfeng was inspired to express it, because the information about the people in the north who were affected by the disaster was placed in front of her by Miss Jiu.
People who have never experienced the hardships of fasting have no idea what it would be like to chew bark and grass roots and eat dirt, and then be choked to death by the Guanyin soil that they eat.
And how to exchange food for food...
She only knew that she couldn't stand just reading the words, not to mention that the people in the North were going through all this now. What kind of hell were they living?
In fact, she recognized her father's noble sentiment of being loyal to the king and serving the country. If that was all, she would be willing to follow her father and shed his blood!
However, dragging millions of people who are about to starve to death and coercing the king is something she cannot accept.
Fu Tianchou remained silent. After a while, he looked at his daughter: "Do you have any wine?"
Of course there was wine, but Fu Tianqiu did not drink the wine poured into the cup, but spilled it in front of him.
After drinking three glasses of wine, Fu Tianchou asked his eldest daughter seriously: "Can the common people afford these whale meat, lobsters and crabs?"
The answer is of course no.
Fu Qingfeng shook his head: "At first, the Human King planned to transport all these fish, shrimps and crabs to use as daily food for the people!
Later it was discovered that both the transportation capacity and the amount of fish caught were far behind those of all ordinary people!
Moreover, how are these things distributed to the people, and in what name?
Later, after many people discussed it, it was decided to transport these things to various cities to sell them as rare items!
After all, this food can only be eaten at the seaside. Once something that is very cheap at the seaside enters the inland cities, it will be worth a hundred times or a thousand times more!
And this kind of cold chain transportation, where gods help control the temperature, requires a lot of people.
so……"
Speaking of this, Fu Tianchou completely understood.
This is to move the resources from the seaside to the inland in exchange for huge amounts of wealth, and then use this wealth to exchange for mountains of food in the warehouses of wealthy families.
Don't say that there is no food in these aristocratic families. For a truly aristocratic family, the food they hoard can even feed their own people for several years or even more than ten years.
Otherwise, how can we call it a wealthy family?
"This is a good move!" He sighed.
In fact, he also understood that these aristocratic families might not be so willing to give up their food in exchange for these so-called rare things by the sea.
But the situation is stronger than the people, and if they give a relatively fair price, even if they don't want to take out some of the food in their warehouse, they will have to pay for it.
Suddenly there was a voice outside.
"It's not a good chess move. Compared with Fu Shangshu, your conspiracy is the real good move!"
When the voice fell, someone had already entered the room, it was Chen Yun.
Only Chen Yun himself, without any entourage, was quite neat and tidy.
Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi quickly stood up and greeted him: "Ms. sir, why are you here?"
Chen Yun looked at them with a smile and said, "I was the one who put my father-in-law in jail. Although there was a reason, I still did the right thing.
Now that my father-in-law has come out, I have to come to make amends and apologize!
Lord Taishan, my son-in-law apologizes here! "
After saying this, he bowed his hands and made a perfect gesture as a son-in-law!
There is no other way. You are sleeping with someone else's daughter and you want someone else to work for you. It is unjustifiable if you don't lower your attitude.
After all, there are still too few talents under his command. It turns out that these people are only in the Jinhua Mansion. The original team of these people has not been moved, but supervision has been strengthened, and they can still be used.
But many of these original members were terrible, but now they have to be used because he has too few talents.
So few that I know that the yamen teams in many places are terrible, but I still have to use them!
He is even worried about others giving up their picks, because once others give up their picks, he has no one to replace them!
Now he urgently needs someone to take charge of a task, which is to select talents.
The people under him are capable, such as Wang Shouren. He is indeed a capable person, but he is not a human now, he is a god.
Gods cannot interfere in too many things of the human race, especially the selection and promotion of officials.
Therefore, Wang Shouren cannot be used to select talents.
Zhuge Wolong, he is also a talent.
It belongs to the library of humanoid literature, but he has only read a lot of books. He has never been an official for a day and has ideas, but sometimes many of his ideas are unrealistic.
After all, Li Maochun still has relatively little experience, so he is not qualified for the position of selecting officials and talents.
The others were all born in the Han Dynasty. Whether it was Zuo Qianhu, Old Man Zuo, or Dong Tianbao, they were all born in the Han Dynasty. The highest official position they had ever held was a Qianhu official.
Although it is very high, this is only a position in the military.
Let them select talents, as if professionalism is not the point!
Therefore, Miss Jiu told him that the reason why she arranged for two sisters, Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi, to serve her at the same time was to give him a chance to capture such an important person as Fu Tianchou.
Because after much deliberation, only Fu Tianqiu is qualified for this position and job.
Fu Tianqiu originally wanted to keep a cold face, but he couldn't keep his cool because his attitude was so low.
He just snorted softly: "The human king doesn't have to be like this. You are the king of the human race, how can you bend down so easily!"
In fact, he felt secretly happy. After all, the majestic king would bow to him. Although it was in his capacity as son-in-law, it was the king who bowed down to him after all!
"What kind of king of the human race? Today I am not. What is in front of you now is a son-in-law who married two of your daughters!"
In fact, Fu Tianchou already knew that his daughter was not married but accepted, but since the King of Human Beings had taken the initiative to lower his attitude so low and be so sincere.
At this time, it’s really unreasonable to think about putting on a show.
So he sighed: "Well, since I am released from prison today, this meal is to catch the wind for me, so let's sit down and eat!"
Now that he was relieved, Chen Yun looked happy, a jar of wine suddenly appeared in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is the good wine that the Wang family in the east of the city gave me when I exchanged whale oil, 20-year-old rice wine.
Father-in-law, please try it! "
Then he couldn't agree, so he took off the mud seal and poured a full bowl into the wine bowl in front of Fu Tianqiu. The hop bubbles covered the entire surface of the wine. It seemed that it had been there for many years!
Fu Tianqiu raised the wine bowl and took a quick look. Although the wine leaves were yellow, there were no impurities in it and it was very clear.
He took a sip, sweet and soft.
He had drunk good wine, so this mere 20-year-old rice wine had a slightly astringent taste in his mouth.
“The wine is good wine, well, it’s been over 20 years!
However, although this wine is old enough, long enough, and thick enough, after all, the selection of ingredients is a bit poor, and the craftsmanship when brewing is also a bit poor.
Therefore, the bottom of the wine is slightly astringent, and compared with the imperial wine, it still falls behind.
However, it is good to have such good wine in Jinhua Mansion.
Good wine! "
The two sat down, and Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi were responsible for serving them food and pouring wine.
"You put so much effort into using my two daughters to force me to surrender!
If you punish yourself with three bowls, I will admit it! "
After all, Fu Tianchou was still unhappy that his two daughters fell into the hands of this guy.
It would have been fine if he just wanted one, but he was so greedy that both sisters wanted it!
Moreover, there is a real wife at home!
His two daughters were so stupidly included in the concubines!
Although, this is the human king!
Precisely because he is a human king, he does not want his two daughters to get involved in this matter.
It is said that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and your family members are just passers-by from now on!
Although the harem of the human king is not called the harem now, is there any difference?
But now that the deal is done, no matter how unhappy I feel, I have to hold my nose and admit it.
However, it’s okay to embarrass him!
"Father!"
Fu Qingfeng glared at his father angrily: "A small amount of wine is good for your health, but a large amount of wine is harmful to your health. Just drink a little. Neither you nor your husband are allowed to drink too much!"
"My husband has business with you!"
As soon as these words came out, Fu Tianchou's heart warmed up. His eldest daughter was planning to go to the king and ask for an official position for him!
Relatives!
