Good days always pass quickly. On the 48rd of the twelfth lunar month in the 23th year of Wanli, the householders under the jurisdiction of the General's Mansion reluctantly sent the Stove Lord away.I look forward to the fact that the head of the family can say good things to heaven, return to the palace to bring auspiciousness, and bring more blessings and benefits to the family.

This year, the territory of the General’s Mansion expanded outwards, obtaining 160 million mu of paddy and dry land and 110 million mu of wasteland. After a typhoon, the harvest of rice increased slightly compared to previous years. On average, the rice yield per mu was close to ten stone.Nearly 200 million shi were harvested from corn, sweet potatoes and other miscellaneous grains grown in mountainous areas.Due to the different reclamation time of miscellaneous grains, the yield per mu will not be assessed for the time being.People in various villages inspected their granaries, seeing the never-before-seen amount of rice and the new clothes made by the children, and the adults were also thinking about how to earn more money and harvest more grain next year.The security chiefs and villagers of several villages began to plan how to invite opera troupes to sing operas, and how to hold village banquets to return the gods.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Hu Licheng sent away his own Stove King, and Hu Licheng was in his tent, drinking a little wine happily, eating venison with lees, smoked fish, and dried bamboo shoots.

On the day of the stove sacrifice, Hu Licheng and several other general banners and hundreds of households, after paying a deposit of 5000 taels of gold and silver, obtained the right to sell salt from Li Shouhan. Each of them divided the agency area according to their own connections.Hu Licheng relied on his wife-in-law's relationship with several generals of the Ruan family in the south to obtain the salt sales agency right in the south of the Haihe River in Guangzhi, which is the area controlled by the Ruan family.Hu Licheng is in charge of selling all Jing salt and filtered salt in this area.However, he cannot sell beyond the 5.00% upwards range of the stipulated retail price.

However, according to the wholesale price of 55 jin a catty of filter salt, there is a loss quota of [-] jin for every [-] jin; fine salt is wholesaled at a price of [-] jin per catty. The thousand catties of filtered salt was tested in the Xialiao area and Shuichenla area of ​​Laos. As a result, in Xialiao, where men bet with gold for cockfights, a catty of fine salt was actually sold for a penny of gold!And, there is also a nice name, "God's blessing!"

Although it is said that the Xialiao area has not been grabbed, the South and Shuichenla are also good.In any case, relying on the sales of fine salt, you can earn gold and silver.

I still have vision!Before the deputy He and the young master of the Li family went to war, they distributed the land to the military households below according to the order issued by the young master of the Li family. Although they lost the land rent, they won in front of the general. Got a good impression.Not long ago, all the domestic slaves in the family were rewarded with their contracts of sale, and they became workers under the general's mansion.The combination of these two things made him look different in front of Shou Han.Among these people outside the general's direct lineage, that is, among the people who are privately ranked according to their seats and called the "second row", his position is absolutely at the front.

It is because of this support that Hu Licheng has gained a lot of benefits. When he threw several contracts in front of his yellow-faced woman who loves money like her life, the yellow-faced woman who has been drooping for giving up the land for him Mother-in-law, the long face immediately glowed with silver light.

It's a pity that it's a little late to start the business of the dyeing workshop, so the Hu family and the He family took the lead.Otherwise, Tonghe Dyefang would also have its own shares.Humans have to eat and dress, and this is a very profitable business.

Fortunately, he had already registered with the Fisheries Office and asked to participate in the construction of a fishing trawler. According to the regulations of the Fisheries Office, he handed in 2000 taels of silver for the construction of the fishing boat.The fishery office will order ships from the shipyard on its behalf and recruit boatmen and sailors.

He had seen fishing trawlers on the pier, two schooner trawlers with dozens of sails on them, compared with those fishing boats parked on the pier, it was the gap between a general and a firefighter.The sailors twisted the winches and pulleys with great effort, dragged the huge fishing net out of the water, and then hoisted it up again, squatting on the ground arrogantly on the pier that was just paved with cement.

Is there tens of thousands of catties of fish in one net? !Seeing the big and small fish struggling and jumping in the net, everyone present was dumbfounded.

"Twelve thousand and thirty-seven catties!" The people from the fish shop burst out the astonishing figure loudly.

Be nice!

How many boats will be worth the harvest in one day? !

The sailors on the schooner trawler collected their nets triumphantly, turned their heads and drove the boat out of the pier, and continued to catch the next net.

Hu Licheng fixed his eyes on the schooner that was driving like a strong horse on the sea. At this speed, he might be able to fish at least twice a day at sea. There will be an income of hundreds of taels of silver.Where is this fishing?It is clearly making money in the sea!

What Hu Licheng didn't know was that on the schooner trawler, there was another rake for making money.

On the sea near Bailongwei Island.

The fishing boat and the Xuanwu Battalion who guarded the fish found that they had really good luck today.

"Spot the school of whales!"

A signal was sent from the ship of the Xuanwu Battalion.

"The whaling gun is ready!" The sailors checked the rope net behind the gun position. The rope net would be responsible for intercepting the gun carriage, preventing the huge recoil of the gun carriage from hitting the ship's board or itself, so that the sailors could reset the gun carriage.A sailor filled the firing charge into the barrel, and then plugged a round wooden board in front of the charge to prevent gas from leaking.Then put in a harpoon shaped like a flat-headed shovel, and carefully tidy up the long rope made of cowhide, silk and hemp.

"Fire!"

With a loud noise, there were huge waves on the sea surface, and the harpoon had already entered its body, penetrating through countless large blood vessels and internal organs. With the painful cry of the whale, blood gushed out like a yellow river breaking its embankment. Turn the sea red.It doesn't know that from then on, it is no longer the largest object on the ocean, nor is it the most lethal object.The launchers of the harpoon in its body are the real kings of the sea!

Seeing that the whale was not struggling, the sailor lowered the sampan, paddled over, and then used a thick rope to loop around the whale's tail.

The people on the boat struggled to turn the winch and the pulley block, dragging the huge whale into the cabin through the valve at the stern, "Isn't this whale weighing tens of thousands of catties?!"

The sailors discussed excitedly, among other things, the experience of catching whales at sea alone was enough to become a talking point for their own bragging while drinking.

The adults said that whale skin can be used to make shoes and leather goods, and fish oil can be used to light lamps, treat blindfolded birds (that is, night blindness), and make lubricating oil for machines. The taste of fish meat is similar to that of pork, and bones can also be ground. It is used to feed cows. It is said that cows can gain strength after eating.I don't know if people will have the strength of a thousand catties with a sway of their arms like the storyteller said after eating it? !

"Captain, the duty ship at the right post of the Xuanwu Camp has called a semaphore. It seems that there is going to be a storm on the sea, and we are ordered to return."

"Alright! Anyway, our ship has returned with a full load! Brothers, hoist the sails and go home!"

There was a strong wind on the sea, and the sky and the earth seemed to change from day to night in an instant.Waves several meters high beat against the hull, and the schooner trawler was sometimes thrown to the top of the waves, and then fell to the bottom of the waves.Looking from afar, the nearby boats are like little toys being fiddled with by an invisible hand in the wind and waves.

Among the crests and valleys, Xu Huanshan and three sailors tried their best to hold the steering wheel. Just now, his ship also fired a cannon to catch a whale.But now all the people are not happy.The speed of the scissor gunboat has also been verified between peaks and valleys, and the difficulty for people to face the test of wind and waves has also doubled.

The storm was getting bigger and bigger, and as a last resort, Xu Huanshan lowered the mainsail to prevent the ship from being blown over.I don't know how long it took, but the storm gradually calmed down. The scissor sailboat was very wind-resistant, and the wind and waves pierced through the hull and deck. However, several sailors were injured, but not seriously.Xu Huanshan took out the compass and sextant. Well, that's right, this is the compass and sextant secretly made by Li Shouhan. Through it, the positioning can be more precise.The first officer calculated for a while, "Captain, we deviated from the channel and are now near Qiongzhou Mansion"

"The storm has hung us this far?"

"It's not bad, it didn't blow me to Ryukyu!"

"If it blows to the Ryukyu, wouldn't we be doing meritorious service?!"

People were joking with each other in the storm.

"Captain! There seems to be someone on the port side at three o'clock!"

Gunner Huang Liancheng yelled loudly.

Following the reputation, between the sea and the sky, I saw a ship that had been beaten to pieces, its belly turned upside down, and [-]% sunk. On the nearby sea, there were a hundred or ten figures floating vaguely in the wind and waves. Hide and show.In the distance, there seemed to be a few fragments of ships floating on the sea.

"How to do?!"

Huang Liancheng and several old sailors asked loudly for Xu Huanshan's instructions.

Xu Huanshan gritted his teeth, "It's all about life at sea! We should help each other! Put down the boat, put on a few more layers of bamboo armor, and go down to rescue people!"

The sailor wears bamboo armor, which was invented by a sailor. He found that after wearing the bamboo armor, the body would not sink in the sea, so he reported it to the captain, and Xu Huanshan reported it to Li Shouhan. Li Shouhan saw that this was not the best Life jacket?So it was ordered that all sailors must wear bamboo armor.

The sailors hurriedly lowered the boat, Huang Liancheng put on several layers of bamboo armor, and tied a long rope around his waist. "Follow me!" He jumped into the boat with a few sailors and rowed towards them with difficulty.

On the bow, Xu Huanshan and the three sailors held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, trying to stabilize the ship.Due to the excessive force, the joints have turned white; as the captain, he must be responsible for the lives of everyone on board.

Finally, Xu Huanshan saw that the small boat rowed near the surface of the water where the hundred and ten shipwrecked were floating.A sailor jumped into the sea, grabbed the hair of a shipwrecked man, swung his arms vigorously, and swam back to the boat desperately.

One after another, the sailors rescued the shipwrecks and rowed the boats to approach the gunboat.

"How is the situation, how many are alive?" Xu Huanshan let the first mate take the helm, and ran over to ask,

Huang Liancheng said: "Captain, please trouble, they are from the imperial court"

"What..." Xu Huan's mountain was getting bigger, and then he looked at these people carefully. These people had been in the water for a long time, and their bodies were pale from soaking. He looked at it and took a breath: "Jin Yiwei, this is from the court. "Jinyiwei" Xu Huanshan discovered that at least a dozen of these hundred and ten people were wearing flying fish suits and carrying long knives, and one of them was from a hundred households.

"A total of more than 20 people died," said Lao Huang, while checking, directing the sailors to use the method taught by Li Shouhan for first aid.

"These two are enough." Huang Liancheng wiped the water droplets on his body and looked at the bodies of the three people. "The sea water seems to have choked into the lungs." He pointed to the two people in official uniforms, "This one seems to be a little gassy."

The angry one he was talking about was dressed like a criminal, and his face was ashen, but there was still a desire to survive in his pulse.

"Hold on! Don't die! If you die on our ship, then this new ship will be too unlucky!" A sailor kept chattering while doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration for the shipwreck. nagging.
