Chapter 785 Yellow Croaker Season

There is no doubt that the Song Dynasty had a demand for oil, not to mention that now there is a tiger like chemical industry.

For example, soap, the demand for oil and fat alone is enough to eat up most of the supply.

Therefore, the benefit of Sitong is not only the recovery of costs and profit in the first phase, but more importantly, the acquisition of an oil base!

This is the true win-win model.

An oil mill can squeeze out 800 kilograms of oil in a day, and it takes 250 days to squeeze out all the oil.

If we use three shifts around the clock, it will take 120 days.

Therefore, everyone in Yong'anwei has a smiling face, and Sitong Trading Company is our own company. We must first keep enough oil for our own use. Su You left one hundred kilograms for each household and took away the rest.

After harvesting rapeseed here, it’s time to harvest wheat again in Anhewei.

The immigrants on the two polders felt fulfilled and miserable. This day, this way of life, this is so beautiful...

Now that we have oil and flour, what else is left?

Of course it’s a bad fish!

It just so happens that the fish season in Taihu Lake has arrived again.

Su You was in pain. April was also the fishing season in Zhoushan. Should he stay here or go to Changguo?

In the end, for the sake of the overall situation of the two Zhejiang Roads, I painfully gave up the soft-fried saury and black bean anchovies and embarked on a journey to Changguo.

However, before setting off, I specifically told Zhang Dun that now that there was no shortage of fuel, he quickly opened several canneries in Huzhou. Their main products were canned anchovies, smoked fish, and crabmeal.

On the sea outside Changchun, large yellow croakers gathered in swarms. That scene made future generations travel back in time. They were used to seeing Su You on the calm sea, and the feeling was no longer spectacular, but - terrifying.

Too many...

At night, several large platinum gas lamps were lit up on a small boat. The whirring fuel vapor caused the platinum filaments to emit a bright light, and the lighting range covered nearly a hundred meters of the sea.

There are dots of stars in the sea, which are the light reflected by the fish's scales as they are attracted by the light.

It is a Kuizhou-type fishing boat made of 3,000 materials and made of 3,000 materials. The long horizontal arm on the side of the boat is opened, surrounding the lights, and a huge seine net is lowered.

After the seine completed a huge circle, fishermen such as Lao Yutou and Long Langsheng on the boat began to tighten the winch, pull up the cable, and collect the bottom of the seine.

After the seine was closed, the boat in the center of the enclosure turned off its gas lights and sailed out.

"Pull in the net—blow the trumpet—" the old fisherman shouted loudly to the upper deck of the ship.

In order for the trumpet sound to be transmitted farther and longer, Su You specially used the boiler and installed a metal whistle on the air valve. Now the boiler is really blowing out the air through the pressure valve.

Upon hearing the greeting, Su You turned on the whistle switch, and the steam found an outlet and spewed out from the whistle channel.

"Woo——" A sharp, long, almost inaudible whistle sounded far away from the Kuizhou model.

This whistle, which is extremely difficult to hear, is like good news from the sky to the surrounding small fishing boats.

Soon, many stars appeared on the sea, movable stars, and they surrounded the gas lamps on the top of the tall Kuizhou-shaped mast from all directions.

The large seine net is getting shallower and shallower, and countless large yellow croakers are jumping on the water surface.

Under the water, among the fish, there are countless cuttlefish.

This is a feast for the fishermen of Changguo Islands.

Countless small fishing boats gathered around the circle formed by the floating balls. The fishermen held huge nets and moved their arms wildly into their fish cabins one by one.

Soon the first batch of small fishing boats were fully loaded. With great satisfaction and unwillingness, the fishermen picked up the sails with bamboo and reed mats and sailed towards the Changguo Islands.

The second group of small fishing boats gathered around again.

Wang Dejia, who inspected the three islands, asked the soldiers to paddle the small boats and, with sweat on their foreheads, called back and forth about the order of fishing.

A big sea wolf fish jumped up from the sea, its big tail swept Wang Dejia down and sat on the deck.

"What a straight bitch..." Wang Dejia held on to the crooked bamboo hat and sat there with his legs trembling, unable to get up from excitement.

His face, which had been darkened by the sea breeze all year round, was filled with tears and a smile: "This year, straight women are so fat..."

The Changguo Islands, with the instructions from the top chief executive of Liangzhe Road, were able to save salt before the year. Su You’s instructions were to eliminate wasteful production methods and eliminate bad-tasting seafood. This year, Changguo must produce

As much yellow catfish as possible to meet the needs of the people of the Song Dynasty on the dining table.

What kind of sea water washes yellow croaker? Come less!

So the women and children on the island mobilized to kill fish, pickle fish, and dry them!

Fish also have an important by-product - swim bladder.

King fish glue is the top adhesive in the Song Dynasty today.

So this is a big business and must rely on Sitong's mature business model.

All fishing boats participating in fishing are tagged and registered, and the production, transportation and sales are arranged by Sitong Company.

Fishermen and farmers form fishery societies and carry out production operations under the guidance of merchants to maximize the utilization of manpower and resource products.

The company organized and transported grain, oil, and salt to fishermen and farmers, and managed almost every aspect, including kitchen knives and iron pots at home, and distributed them as welfare rewards.

Compared with the days when you could eat fish if you caught fish, eat shrimp if you caught fish, and eat clams if there were no fish or shrimps, now we have rice and noodles at home, chickens and ducks in the yard, and we can live a normal life just by fishing.

It was so hard, even the trading company had to distribute a pound of medicinal wine every month to dispel dampness and drive away colds. If I had a headache or fever, a doctor would come to treat me.

For fishermen, days like this are like paradise compared to before.

In the same way, Su You instructed the naval forces near Zhoushan, all of whom were fishermen. If they don't contribute now, when will they contribute? During the busy farming season, the military must be dispatched to help local people with production.

The navy of the Song Dynasty in the future will be the most rigorously organized, the most demanding in training, the most complex in skill requirements, the deepest in knowledge reserves, the broadest in vision, and the most powerful in combat. The warships will be the land of the Song Dynasty drifting on the sea.

.

How to build this army? How to control it when it travels thousands of miles? The root cause must be found ideologically.

The root is here. Even if you are thousands of miles away, your parents, your brothers and sisters, and your home are here!

Everything you do is for them! For Huang Song!

Su You had already spoken, and it was his own family, so what else could he say? So when Jin Ti arrived in Changguo in peace and prosperity, looking towards the island from the port, the entire island was filled with strings of yellow croakers.

.

Su You has done a lot of physical labor this year, and his muscles have become strong again, but the brightness is no longer bright and moist. It is true that the dark skin is translucent.

Jin Ti came to say goodbye.

Su You reported the king's goodwill conveyed by the Goryeo envoy to Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu was very considerate.

Xu Gaoli, the great monk Tong Yitian, went to the pilgrimage and was given purple robes, a purple gold alms bowl, a Zen staff, and sandalwood.

Agree to Yitian's request and let him practice Buddhism with Master Jingyuan in Hangzhou.

Yitian asked Zhao Xu to reproduce and reprint the Buddhist classics of his sect. In addition to studying them himself, after completing his studies, he would also take them to Goryeo to teach the Dharma.

This was to be done for Tang Sanzang of Goryeo. Zhao Xu was very moved and agreed with a wave of his hand, leaving the matter to Su You.

The south wind was blowing, so Jin Ti returned to Goryeo this time and brought a letter from Yi Tian to Su You.

Su You read the letter: "His Majesty summoned him personally. With such a high standard, the ambassador's return will not only be blameless, but also meritorious, right?"

Jin Ti thanked him: "Thank you very much for your safety."

Su You smiled and said: "What does it have to do with me? I told you before that the benevolence of the kings of the two countries will not be too much. By the way, Wang Xianggong is planning to abolish the copper ban, starting with imported money."

"Go back and discuss with your king how many copper coins are needed for Goryeo to be circulated. Give us a figure and the Shenquan Supervisor of Liangzhe Road will mint the coins for you. You won't have to smuggle them secretly in the future!"

Jin Ti was overjoyed: "Seriously? This is really a great honor from the heaven. The whole country of this small country must be grateful for the grace of the heaven."

Su You touched his nose and felt very ashamed. He was crying and begging you to carry out monetary invasion. There was really no room for reasoning.

Seeing Ping Zhengsheng looking at Su You helplessly, Su You had no choice but to put down his hand: "Japan also does the same thing. Who said we are relatives living in the same neighborhood?"
