Um, boiled peanuts, corn and sweet potatoes are really delicious.
Even in later generations, it will be considered a delicacy.
However, it is definitely not so delicious that it is a superb delicacy.
The reason why these rich people think peanuts, corn and sweet potatoes are so delicious is mainly because they have never eaten them before.
It was the first time I ate it and it felt so delicious.
If they were allowed to eat it for several days in a row, they would definitely not feel such a strong feeling.
However, today is the first time they have eaten such delicious food.
Almost everyone was exhausted.
The remaining sweet potatoes, peanuts and corn were all eaten by the farmers.
And Li Min also announced that from now on, the food used as wages will become these three delicacies.
The prices of these three delicacies are the same as the price of rice.
Well, after hearing the news, all the civilians were extremely happy.
Such delicious food, the price is the same as the price of rice?
This is definitely a great surprise for them.
Well, actually, whether it is peanuts, sweet potatoes or corn, they are all freshly dug out and only when they are fresh do they taste so delicious.
But after it dries, the flavor will actually be greatly reduced.
It's a pity that they are still too naive and don't know this.
Well, maybe, for them, as long as they can fill their stomachs, it must be acceptable, right?
The nobles first inquired about the price at which these delicacies were sold.
It was fine when they had never eaten it before, but now that they have eaten it, it would definitely be an unacceptable thing for them if they could never eat it again.
But the result of the inquiry is that these crops will only be distributed as wages this year and will not be sold externally.
After learning this news, these nobles couldn't help but feel disappointed.
However, they soon set their sights on these farmers.
Is it always okay to wait for these farmers to receive these delicacies as wages and then buy them from them?
…
The food shortage problem in Yizhou was solved in one fell swoop due to new crops.
And not only Yizhou, but also people in several nearby states, those who originally built roads on the railway, can also receive grain as wages.
And in this way, these people naturally don't need to worry about food.
Food is not in such short supply in the nearby states.
The prices of food that had been driven up were somewhat unsaleable.
Even the food prices in the entire Jiannan Road have been affected.
However, people from the five surnamed Qiwang and other aristocratic families did not care much about this situation.
Because the food in Yizhou is at most enough for the people of Yizhou and one or two more states.
Considering that most of the Tang Dynasty was short of food, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
Grain prices will rise sooner or later.
Therefore, they are not worried about food prices.
However, what they didn't know was that at this moment, Li Min was leading a fishing team and starting to set off.
This time they went to Lugu Lake, the largest lake in Jiannan Road.
Li Min directly rented a local fishing boat, and then purchased a trawl net and an ultrasonic detector from the mall.
This time, the main reason why Li Min went to Lugu Lake in person was because the ultrasonic detectors and trawl nets needed someone to guide them before they could use them.
However, after the first time, the fishing team will be able to operate it on their own after gaining experience.
This time, Li Min found an available talent in Liu Baojun among the workers building the railway.
This Liu Baojun once went to sea in Lingnan Road, and later returned to his hometown to work hard in farming.
He had experience in going to sea, and after Li Min's inspection, he found that he was a useful talent, so Li Min decided to appoint him as the captain of the fishing team.
…
After arriving at Lugu Lake, the appearance of Li Min, the governor of Yizhou, caused a sensation in the local area and attracted the attention of local people.
There are naturally fishermen near Lugu Lake.
They have fished here for generations.
There are abundant fish resources here, and they make a living by fishing every year.
However, the annual harvest is basically only this much.
But now, the Governor of Yizhou actually led a large group of people to Lugu Lake, rented fishing boats, and brought strange instruments to fish.
With so many people fishing, they might not even be able to catch enough money, right?
Next, they saw the fishing boat hook up a trawl net under the command of Yizhou Governor Li Min.
Then these fishing boats, under the command of the governor, sailed most of the circle in Lugu Lake.
The speed of the fishing boat is getting slower and slower, as if a lot of things have been caught in the net.
When the fishing boat docked and the fish in the trawl net were hauled up, the people watching were completely stunned.
In fact, there are too many fish coming from this net.
When they lived by the Lugu Lake, they had never seen so many fish come online at one time.
Never even heard of it.
Isn't this net worth tens of thousands of catties of fish?
Grand Governor Li Min is worthy of being a god descending to earth!
There is obviously no way to preserve this much fish for a long time due to the hot weather.
But it doesn’t matter, these fish can be sprinkled with salt and made into dried fish.
Immediately, Li Min ordered the people he brought to quickly make dried fish.
The hot sun dries the fresh fish into dried fish in just two or three days.
These dried fish were transported to Yizhou along with Li Min.
The fishing captain Liu Baojun and others stayed and continued fishing.
Lugu Lake has never been overfished and hunted over the years, or in other words, the local fishermen simply do not have the ability to catch so many fish.
Therefore, the fish resources in the lake are very abundant.
Li Min estimated that it would be very easy to catch a million catties of fish.
Moreover, Li Min had no intention of drying up the lake and fishing.
The nets they use only catch big fish and let go of all the fry and small fish.
If a female fish is caught and conditions permit, it will be released directly as long as it does not die.
In this way, it will not cause damage to the ecology of Lugu Lake.
And these millions of catties of fish are just fish from one lake in Lugu Lake.
There are many large and small lakes throughout Jiannan Road.
These lakes are enough for them to catch more fish.
When Li Min led a convoy full of dried fish into Yizhou City, it once again caused a sensation among the people.
Next, those people who work can choose to receive food items, and there is another item.
That is where you can receive dried fish.
With two kilograms of grain, you can get one kilogram of dried fish.
