Commander Qianshi said.

Jinshanwei's military rations are supplied by military households. Simply raising these oarsmen would be tantamount to increasing the burden on military households.

"What is the occupation of Jinshan Guards?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Farming, but the land along the coast is very saline and alkali, so the grain harvest is not high. There are also salt fields, and kitchen households fry salt, farm, and fish. In the past, this was a commercial port, but it was a place for maritime trade. Now Your Majesty is not allowed to trade at sea."

"Then let's fish.

I will teach you trawl fishing. I have taught the military households in Liaodong how to fish and how to make cans. They are already self-sufficient in sea fish in Liaodong, and canned food has even begun to supply Huining's military needs.

There is also a large fishing ground guarded here. You build paddle boats, go out to sea to fish and make cans on weekdays, and when you encounter Japanese pirates, you turn into a warship. In this way, you are both fishermen and navy, and there is no need for additional military ration supplies.

Including those kitchen households.

They also want to fish to support their family, and you can organize them.

Plus they have enough salt, so canning costs less."

Yang Feng said.

Several conductors looked at each other.

"I have heard about this. The ambassador really benefited the Ming Dynasty. We, the military family, will remember the ambassador's kindness from generation to generation."

The commander said with a smile.

Several other conductors also laughed, and they laughed as if the conspiracy had succeeded.

Obviously they have been waiting for a long time.

They just knew that Yang Feng helped Liaodong do this, so they wanted to follow suit, but they didn't know if Yang Feng was willing, so they tested it in this way, but Yang Feng took the initiative himself.

By this time, Liaodong was already doing very well.

And business is booming...

Simply counting marine fish as caught is not the key to restricting its circulation. The key lies in preservation. Fresh marine fish covers twenty or thirty miles inland, and it is difficult to go further. It takes a while to catch fish from the sea to the shore. Use a car to push it to the market.

It takes time to market, and it also takes time to sell. It’s better in winter, but in summer it will almost spoil when it reaches the shore. It will basically stink when it comes to the market. If you sell it later, you really can’t sell it, so coastal marine fish are often

Extremely cheap.

A cart of fish cannot be exchanged for a bag of grain.

Then it can only be sun-dried.

but……

The fishermen are at the seaside, but they cannot dry and cure the salted fish themselves.

Because this will take advantage of the salt policy.

Salting a large amount of salted fish is equivalent to selling salt in disguise. Of course, the court does not allow it. Fishermen must buy special tax-included salt to pickle salted fish. Although there are actually people who secretly dry the salt themselves, this is the focus of the ban on private salt.

.

When it develops to the end, it’s the time when our brother Daqingma...

Color such salt.

Therefore, pickled salted fish also has color, just like stamp duty. As long as the salted fish sold has no official color, there is no need to say anything. It is designated as privately salted, caught and chopped.

It will be difficult for fishermen to make a profit. After all, they have to sell fish to buy salt, and then salted fish can only be sold to traders. Whenever this situation occurs, they can only be exploited. So for fishermen

For people, fishing too much is meaningless. It is better to open up a piece of wasteland on the seaside, and then farm and fish occasionally. Only those who cannot obtain land on land, like the Dan people, make a living on boats, but they are not actually

Mainly engaged in fishing, island farming, smuggling, and even piracy are part-time jobs.

But the canning industry made it possible to become a truly professional fisherman.

Marine fish coverage is deeper.

Even if it is primary processing and does not require too much salt, sugar and spices, it is just a simple earthen jar or canned fish, which can preserve the sea fish for a month, during which time it can travel hundreds of miles inland.

This is also how European coastal countries play, and even led to the rise of the Netherlands, because they kill fish faster, can process marine fish in a more timely manner, and then preserve them for a long time...

Of course, canned herring was also born.

The approach of the guards of the Liao dynasty was to maintain a militarized organization. One hundred households were a production entity. The men sailed out to fish, and the women made cans at home. Then they formed a business alliance with the inland guards, and the cans were shipped directly to these guards.

Therefore, it is none of Liao Fan's business how the latter is sold. Liao Fan simply delivers the goods and collects money.

These clinics are responsible for sales.

As for taxes…

No!

Are there any taxes if I go through military channels?

Besides, what tax should be charged on cans?

nothing!

Of course everyone likes this good thing.

The Coastal Guard is basically not a good place for farming. Although it is a prosperous city in modern times, it was a miserable place in the farming era. Not to mention Jinshan Guard, the best place in Songjiang Prefecture is that Songjiang is less affected by the tide.

, but the average land yield per mu is one level lower than that of Suzhou.

Shanghai relied on the dredging of the Wusong River to bring real prosperity.

This economic model of fishing and aquatic product processing has solved this problem.

and……

Are workers the ones who make profits by running factories?

Of course it's the boss.

Similarly, the real profit from this fishing and processing system is not the military households. At most, the military households only have a little better food and clothing. The real profits are the generals of the guards. The military households only drink soup, and they eat all the meat.

Yes, this is different from farming. Farming military households pay military rations, and those who dare to engage in corruption will be beheaded. This makes it difficult for generals to reap benefits. However, the profit of this kind of business is negotiated among the generals. The operating space can be said to be huge.

Isn’t it nice to get a kickback at a low price? We are all old brothers by marriage anyway. A can of fish is sold to the general of the inland guard station at a low price, who then sells it at a higher price, for example, to coax the nomads, and finally makes money with the general of the coastal guard station.

In fact, the military households just fished and made canned food.

Will they know how much they earn?

In addition, there were cans for military supplies, and the price was also determined by the generals of the guards. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know the true cost, so he didn't care. Anyway, his banknotes were printed, and what he cared about was the increase in military rations, so setting a high price from the coastal guards

Just take the goods in the hands of the general.

The profits are still shared by everyone.

Got it all!

The process of evolving into a capitalist does not need to be taught by others.

Profit will make their minds work.
Chapter completed!
