Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 705 The Fisherman's Sigh

Xiazi Island. This is an island about one or two hundred nautical miles away from Dengzhou. This island is a small island with an area of ​​about three square kilometers. Kilometers, that is, 1 meters × 1 meters = 1000 square meters.

一个正规足球场场地大小为长105米、宽68米，大约也就是7140平方米。因此1平方公里大约是140个足球场的面积。

There are more than 5 small islands of three square kilometers in this world. These small islands have different shapes and characteristics, but most of them are barren and uninhabitable, mainly because of fresh water. If there is fresh water, then The island is really suitable for people to live in.

Xiazi Island is a small island with fresh water, which is the main reason why the poisonous shrimp will camp here.

And Xiazi Island is very beautiful. At night, the long coastline turns crystal blue, glowing blue under the beating of the waves, as if the starry sky has fallen into the sea, dreaming and screaming.

With a coastline stretching for 300 kilometers and almost transparent blue water, every step is a scenery.

To be honest, although this poisonous blind man is called a blind man, the place he picked is really beautiful.

"Brothers did a good job this time. It's almost the end of the new year. A small fishing village has copied so many new year's goods. It seems that we have to go grab it a few times."

In Xiazi Island, Du Xiazi was very satisfied with this robbery, because he really copied a lot of good things this time, so Du Xiazi thought that he would continue to slaughter several villages.

As soon as the poisonous blind man finished speaking, a group of minions immediately joined him.

"Your Majesty, that's right. You must know that there are no sailors around Dengzhou. As long as we kill them quietly and slaughter one or two villages at a time, the Dengzhou government will not be able to supervise them at all.

We can continue to slaughter like this, buy ships with the money we get, and soon we will become stronger. At that time, we can fight the water monkeys on the opposite side and swallow the water monkeys on the opposite side directly . "

The poisonous blind man on the side took it for granted: "The intercom is good, that water monkey often bosses us around because he has a few big ships, labor and management have long been unable to stand this bastard, wait for this time Let's plunder a little more money, and we'll also buy a few big boats, so that if the water monkey dares to grin at us again next time, we'll kill him directly.

His territory is ours.! "

"Okay!" The words of the poisonous blind man made the young men cheer for a while, and then they heard the young man say with a smile: "My lord, why don't we rectify after we finish this good meal, and we will come back after a while." Let’s go grab a village. I know that village well. If we kill it at night, we will definitely catch the opponent by surprise, and that village is relatively big, with more than 500 people, and the village is relatively rich, so we can definitely grab a lot of money.”

"Really?" The poisonous blind man became interested.

"Really, of course it's true, how dare I lie to the king, we have to rob and kill more, so that we can buy a big boat to kill water monkeys." The little boy repeated the poisonous blind man's words again.

This made the poisonous blind man laugh unceasingly, and then he heard the poisonous blind man shout: "Brothers, do you dare to fight with me again, this time I allow you to snatch some women back, this time I won't kill them all!"

When they heard that women could be robbed, those pirates were about to go crazy. They collectively yelled. It was exciting. You don't need to look to know that these people want women in their dreams.

So soon these pirates shouted loudly: "Kill, kill, kill!"

The morale is like a rainbow. Hearing the sound of shouting and killing, the poisonous blind man is also very happy, and immediately decides to go to the village along the coast of Dengzhou to rob again.

The ancient coastal fishermen were very miserable. These fishermen have been living in small coastal villages for generations. For food, if you catch some fish in a small way, then God will not keep you, but if you catch too many fish, then God will not agree.

And since ancient times, the tax paid by such fishermen has been higher than that paid by inland people who cultivated land. Obviously, they all depend on the sky for their food, and even these fishermen are in danger of their boats being destroyed at any time, and Inland people can fish on the river, but they can cultivate land casually, but they can only fish at sea, but they pay high taxes for sleeping.

Many people think that the seaside is rich in resources, as long as you go to the seaside, you can pick up crabs, octopus, etc. But the fact is that there is no fish in the sea, and you can't catch fish at all.

The reason for this is that many years ago, offshore fishing did not require any special tools, a slightly stronger boat, and some larger fishing nets. Find the place where the fish often move, cast the net, and the rest It's time to play, wait a little bit patiently, then you can catch a lot of fish.Pay some fish taxes, and the remaining fish would be enough to sell or eat by yourself. Therefore, although the fishermen's families were not very rich at that time, they could still afford food and clothing.

But people at that time only knew to catch more fish and earn more money, so every family went fishing in the sea.

Fishermen go out early and come back late, everyone can catch a lot of fish, but as more and more people go into the sea, it is difficult for the fishing boats in the sea to catch any more fish. After it is difficult to catch fish, the fishermen want to If all the big fish have been caught, then the small fish are also allowed, so the eyes on the fishing nets are getting smaller and smaller, and finally, the offshore areas can no longer catch fish.

However, the competition among fishermen is still very fierce. After all, even if the chance of catching fish is very small.

This formed a vicious circle. As a result, during the Tang Dynasty, there were fewer and fewer fish in the coastal waters, and they could not even be caught. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the sea ban was issued, so that the coastal fishes With a chance of survival.

This is followed by deep sea fishing, which is not done by humans. Although fishing in the deep sea will definitely catch fish, the wind and waves in the distant sea are also very strong. Now the boats fishing in the near sea will definitely not be able to withstand the blows of the far sea, let alone go to the far sea. Fishing requires at least one month at sea, which is a long time. No one knows their future.

But there were still people who went there. At that time, there was a family that went out to sea after reporting to the navy. At that time, it seemed that everyone wanted to hear the news of their fishing success, because this way they could He went fishing according to his set of equipment, but three months passed, and there was still no news. There was only one reason for no news, that is, they had died at sea, a fishing boat, a total of 8 people, that It was all the men in his family, who just disappeared, and only the old and weak women were left in the family. Hey, sigh, this is the sorrow of the fishermen of the Tang Dynasty now.
