In the Bohai Bay, the "Taishan" is returning to Tianjin Port.
The smell of fish floated on the boat. There were so many fish caught in one night that the temporarily modified fish cabin was full.
"My dear, this trawling is amazing. Just one night, we caught more than 20,000 kilograms of sea fish."
Dahu sighed while eating a fried large yellow croaker that weighed several kilograms.
I used to dig food in the fields and knew how precious food was. I knew that food was hard to come by, especially meat. It was only after I entered the Xishan Mountains that I could have a full meal and occasionally a meal of meat. I became a
Only after that will students at the Maritime Academy be able to eat meat every day.
But this does not mean that meat eating is commonplace in this era.
On the contrary, in this era, meat is extremely precious and rare. Ordinary people do not encounter meaty meat a few times throughout the year. As for eating a big fish like now, eating as much meat as you want, such a luxurious life
, the average landowner and wealthy man is reluctant to live like this.
"This sea fish tastes really good. It doesn't have the earthy smell of river fish, and the meat is firm and has very few bone spurs. It's so delicious that it's really unforgettable."
Tian Erniu ate a two-pound large yellow croaker cleanly, leaving only the intact bones. He threw the bones into the sea, and his whole body was conquered by the delicious taste of the large yellow croaker.
"The products in this sea are so rich, it was really foolish for us to ban the sea before."
"It would be a waste not to use such a rich resource. More than 20,000 kilograms of fish can be caught in just one night. If a special fishing boat is used to catch it, the harvest will be even more."
"As long as there are a certain number of fishing boats, the fish caught in the sea alone are enough to feed many people. This person's three kilograms of meat a day is just one fish. There are more than one hundred of us, and we can catch twenty thousand kilograms of fish in one night.
, enough to feed nearly 10,000 people for a day.”
"The three northern provinces are currently experiencing famine. If we catch marine fish on a large scale, I believe there will be absolutely no problem in dealing with it."
Tian Erniu also felt a lot. Thinking of the famines that have occurred in the three northern provinces, he immediately felt that this maritime ban policy was really stupid. He left such a huge treasure house without making good use of it, and insisted on making people feel comfortable in an area of three acres.
If there is a famine in the divided land, the land will be filled with hunger and death immediately.
Liu Jin used to tell them that the ocean is a huge treasure house in class, but they didn't have any specific concept, but now it's completely different.
I have personally seen it. I participated in a trawl fishing trip. In just one night, I easily caught 20,000 kilograms of sea fish. If there are enough fish cabins, I can still catch another net this time. It counts as a trip out.
, tens of thousands of catties of fish is very easy.
These tens of thousands of kilograms of fish are not just fish, they are also food and meat, the most precious thing in this era.
After really seeing it, I realized that what Liu Jin said was absolutely correct. The ocean is a huge treasure house, containing endless wealth.
Like the Taishan, the other five ships staying in the Bohai Sea for training have also gained a lot, and they are all embarking on their return journey at this time.
Tianjin harbor.
After receiving the news, Liu Jin hurriedly dragged Zhu Houzhao to Tianjin Port, preparing to let the prince of Ming Dynasty and the future Ming Dynasty experience the richness of the ocean.
If you want to truly break the maritime ban of the Ming Dynasty, it is useless to just rely on words. What is needed is profits, huge enough profits.
Because since ancient times, all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, and only profit is the driving force of everything, and only enough profit can open the heavy door of maritime ban.
Ever since he met Emperor Hongzhi on Wangyue Tower, Liu Jin had been planning and thinking about how to lead the huge empire of Ming Dynasty to the outside world and look at the huge world outside.
Therefore, Liu Jin described the world outside the Ming Dynasty as very rich, and used three high-yield crops on the Golden Continent to impress Emperor Hongzhi to fund and build a fleet to go to the Golden Continent.
Because Emperor Hongzhi's starting point was to find three high-yielding crops that would benefit the people of the world, no one in the court stood up to oppose it even if they knew about it.
In this matter, there was simply no way to object. Emperor Hongzhi had great righteousness, and even the spokesperson for the maritime merchants in the Jiangnan region would not foolishly stand up to oppose it, because it would definitely have no effect.
That's why we have the current fleet, the opportunity to fish in the Bohai Sea, and the opportunity for the prince of the Ming Dynasty to personally see the richness of the ocean. Only by allowing these superiors to truly see the huge benefits of the ocean, and in the future
Only by allowing more people to benefit from the ocean can a powerful force be formed to promote the lifting of the maritime ban.
"Old Liu, you are so mean. You didn't even tell me when the ship was going out to sea. It's a shame that I still treat you as a brother."
Zhu Houzhao was in an extremely bad mood at this time, because he didn't tell him when he learned that the ship was going to sea, causing him to miss the opportunity to hunt whales in the sea. He was depressed and sulky at Liu Jin.
"Your Highness, this boat went out yesterday and came back today. It is just for a spin in the Bohai Sea to let the students get familiar with everything on the sea. It is not out to hunt whales."
Liu Jin was also very helpless. Even if you were to kill me, I wouldn't dare let you go to sea. If there was someone who was weak, I wouldn't even have nine heads to kill you.
"Dang~dang~"
Liu Jin ordered people to build a lighthouse dozens of meters high. Bells rang on it, which shocked everyone in the port. The ship that went to sea yesterday returned to the port.
Liu Jin took out his telescope and looked at the sea. He could vaguely see five large ships chopping through the waves and heading towards the port. The flag of the Ming Dynasty was hung on each ship.
"I don't know if any fish have been caught. The difficulty of ancient trawl fishing is that the materials used to make fishing nets are not up to standard. If we want to vigorously develop the marine fishing industry in the future, before chemical materials such as nylon are available, it is best to use sword awn for this fishing net."
To make it, the origin of this sword light is also in the Golden Continent."
Liu Jin's thoughts were flying in his mind, and he kept thinking. In this era without industry, it was really tiring to have to start everything from scratch. But fortunately, he now has some foundations, and the road will only get wider and wider.
