Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 201, famine is not terrible

At this moment, Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, and Zhang Mao were not focused on eating at all, as if they had never heard Liu Jin's words, and all three of them stared intently at the sea fish piled up like a hill on the pier.

"More than [-] catties~"

Zhou Jing didn't care too much, and went directly to the fish place, looked at the sea fish piled up in front of him, and then looked at the other eight piers, just like this one, baskets of sea fish piled up into a pile At the same time, the entire Tianjin port began to emit a strong fishy smell.

On Zhang Mao's side, he hurriedly walked to another pier. He wanted to go there to see for himself how many sea fish were caught by the professional fishing boats manufactured by Tianjin Shipyard.

"I've never seen so many fish."

Li Dongyang looked at the fish mountains and couldn't help sighing, seeing this huge sea fish with his own eyes, he completely believed it now, and all the last doubts in his heart were dispelled.

One boat caught more than [-] catties of sea fish. Naturally, the sum of the sea fish caught by these nine ships at one time exceeded one million catties. The million catties of sea fish were stacked on the port wharf, which was very spectacular.

"Today's harvest is not bad."

Liu Jin is very clear about the amount of fish caught every day, because it is related to whether Tianjin can continue to operate normally. If there are fewer fish caught that day, Liu Jin will be worried, and the crowd will come to Tianjin There are more and more disaster victims, and more sea fish will be consumed every day in the future.

"The sea has been banned for so long, there are really too many fish in this sea, but if you continue to fish like this every day, will you be exhausted?"

"Do you want to implement a fishing moratorium later?"

Liu Jin is thinking about the issue of sustainable development. The experience and lessons of future generations must be absorbed, and the ultimate consequences of exhausting resources will be very serious.

But soon Liu Jin smiled and shook his head again. We are just talking about a fishing moratorium. In this era, there are so many fish in the ocean, and the fishing technology has not yet developed, so you can fish with confidence.

"Boy, sell me five fishing boats?"

Just as Liu Jin was thinking, Zhang Mao had already returned, and immediately came to Liu Jin's side in a hurry after returning, and said to Liu Jin with a smile.

Obviously, he already knew the value of this fishing boat. With a fishing boat of [-] taels, he even said that he would buy five in one breath, which is simply rich and powerful.

"Mr. Zhang, I can only sell you two ships at most. It's not that easy to build a ship. Selling five ships to you at once is not enough for me."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin smiled and replied.

"Two boats are not enough, at least three boats. How about this, you sell me three fishing boats, and I'll be a matchmaker for you here in the capital, and I'll keep it for you to marry a beautiful and beautiful lady back home."

Seeing that Liu Jin had only agreed to sell him two fishing boats, Zhang Mao became impatient. He turned his eyes and used a beauty trick.

"Mr. Zhang, there are only three ships, but let's forget about being a matchmaker."

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately shook his head and said.

"Haha, this boy should be married and the girl should be married. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Don't worry, I will leave this matter to me."

Seeing Liu Jin's appearance, Zhang Mao laughed happily, patted his chest and said.

"Eh... Then I'll thank Mr. Zhang first."

The other party was so enthusiastic, Liu Jin didn't know how to reply for a while, so he could only thank him with a smile.

"A few boats can catch more than one million catties of sea fish in a day. If there are dozens of boats, then we don't have to worry about the famine in the three northern provinces. If there are hundreds or thousands of fishing boats, then I The people of Ming Dynasty can eat meat every meal."

Li Dongyang on the side is still immersed in the joy of the harvest in front of him, and his mind is full of fish.

"Actually, there is nothing terrible about this famine, especially this time there are famines in the three provinces of Shanxi, Shandong, and North Zhili."

Liu Jin heard Li Dongyang's words, thought for a while and said.

"Go on."

When Li Dongyang heard it, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly dealt with Liu Jin to continue talking.

"These three provinces, Beizhili and Shandong are all close to the sea, especially Shandong can be said to be surrounded by the sea on three sides. As long as there are fishing boats, we can transport a boat of sea fish there very quickly."

"As for Shanxi, it is far away from the sea. If the sea fish is not dried or salted, it cannot be transported long distances. Therefore, it is not suitable to use sea fish for disaster relief. This is one of the three places that really needs food for disaster relief. The place."

"We can distinguish the three disaster-affected provinces according to different situations, and then take different disaster relief measures."

Liu Jin pondered for a while, sorted out his words, and spoke slowly.

"In this famine, the further north it is, the more severe the disaster will be. Although the southern parts of Shanxi, Beizhili, and Shandong provinces have been affected by the disaster, they are only short of harvest, and have not reached the point of complete failure."

"Besides, these places are close to the southern region, and they can quickly receive food relief from the southern region. No matter how bad they are, they can go to the southern region to escape famine, so the situation is not serious."

"What's really serious is the areas to the north of these three provinces. These areas are too cold, and the food harvests are absolutely dead. They are really no crops and need disaster relief. The most serious situation is naturally Yongping Prefecture, Tianjin, and the capital in North Zhili. , so the focus of disaster relief should be on this area.”

Following Liu Jin's explanation, Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, and Zhang Mao thought about it and nodded slightly.

The situation is indeed as Liu Jin said, the most serious famine is the area of ​​Yongping Prefecture, Tianjin, and Beijing in Beizhili, and the north of Shanxi. These areas are the most severely affected.

"After analyzing these clearly, we can adopt targeted strategies in disaster relief. Because the capital, Tianjin, and Yongping Prefecture are near the sea or close to the sea, we can use sea fish for disaster relief. It doesn't take much Lots of food."

"The situation in Shandong is the same. By the sea, as long as there is a boat, we can transport a boatload of sea fish to various places for disaster relief."

"The place where food is needed for disaster relief is Shanxi. It is too far away from the sea and transportation is inconvenient. Food must be used for disaster relief. Therefore, the food in the hands of the imperial court can be collected and transported to Shanxi."

"As for Yongping Prefecture, Tianjin, and the capital city, most of the disaster victims have started to gather towards the capital city and Tianjin. This gathering is very beneficial for us to provide disaster relief, especially the official road between the capital city and Tianjin. After the concrete road is repaired."

"Using a horse-drawn cart to transport fish, the road of more than [-] kilometers can be transported in half a day. Disaster relief is not a problem at all."

"So as long as we sort out all this, this famine is not terrible, and it can be easily overcome."

Liu Jin expressed his thoughts on this famine, which is why Liu Jin has confidence.

"I really don't know what's in your head, kid. After listening to your analysis, I don't worry about the famine at all now."

After Zhou Jing finished listening, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said.

"So that's how it is. Listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books!"

After Li Dongyang listened, he thought carefully in his mind, and soon couldn't help but smiled and shook his head and said: "I have read books all my life and learned the way of governing the country all my life, and I don't even understand such a simple truth. Ashamed ~ ashamed."

"Li Gong is being modest, boy, I'm just talking nonsense, if you really ask me to do something, I don't understand anything."

Liu Jin quickly shook his head and said.

"Clang~clang~"

At this moment, there were bursts of bells from the lighthouse, which made everyone in the port confused. The ship had already returned, so why did it remind me of the bells again.

"A ship has returned to port~ A ship has returned to port, it seems that the ship bound for North Korea has returned~"

Soon, above the lighthouse, the watchman spoke loudly with a big tin horn.

"The North Korean ship is back?"

"It's time to come back."

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately regained his energy.

　Some book friends said that North Korea may not have much silver, because the country is small, which is actually a bit underestimated. There is a big silver mine in North Korea, and there is still some silver~
