Chapter 304 Worshiping Mazu
"Have you heard that it's time to plant salt in Qingshui today?"

"What kind of salt? Can salt be grown?"

"Ignorant, isn't it? When the water is clean, it will be. Otherwise, what do you think you are doing to cultivate so many salt fields?"

"Huh? So the salt fields are used to grow salt? I thought..."

……

"Come and see, Qingshui Hou will plant salt today."

"Your deceitful words are too bad. Salt is boiled and cannot be planted."

"What do you know? Of course ordinary people can't grow it, but Qingshuihou is an ordinary person? He is a child of a fairy with great magic power. He can conjure food out of thin air. What's so special about growing salt?"

……

"Qingshui Hou has finally started to cast spells to grow salt, go and see."

"Let's go together."

"Walk."

……

At this time, Yue Shan didn't know that the news spread that Qingshuihou, the son of the fairy, would cast spells to grow salt. In order to witness the miracle, everyone left their jobs and ran to Yantian to watch.

When he brought Su Dingfang, Liu Rengui, Sun Renshi and others to Yantian, he was a little surprised when he saw the melon-eating crowd on the inner three floors and the outer three floors.At the same time, I also feel relieved. It seems that everyone is still more concerned about drying the sea for salt.

"Seeing so many people, I admire Yue Hou more and more. It's your kindness that gave them a chance to survive." Liu Rengui said half flattering and half sincerely.

"Yes, look at the eyes they looked at Yue Hou, full of gratitude and excitement. Yue Hou moved them with his kindness and won their support." Master Sun Ren probably wasn't used to flattering, so his flattery words were a bit blunt , far less smooth than Liu Rengui.

"Okay, let's leave this to outsiders. We are all our own people here, so it's not disgusting to say that." Yue Shan said in distaste, but in fact he was secretly happy.

"Hey, okay, then I'll hire a few people to publicize your achievements later on." Liu Rengui said with a playful smile, and when he saw Yue Shan reaching out to hit him, he immediately said seriously: "I think it is necessary to report to you. Very important."

"Let go." Yue Shan said angrily.

"Uh...according to this way of eating, our food won't last long." Liu Ren said.

"How long can you hold on?" Yue Shan asked hastily.

"Less than five days." Liu Ren said.

"Five days?" Yue Shan pondered.People are iron and rice is steel, and there is no plan without food.

When he left Beijing, he brought a large amount of supplies and food, and most of the dozens of large ships were filled with food.

This is what he specifically asked Li Shimin to ask for. To be precise, it is to use the money from the internal treasury to buy grain from the treasury at market prices.If it's just the people he brings, they won't be able to finish eating in half a year.

But later he recruited 400 gu workers from Bohai County, and then more came one after another, adding up to more than [-] people.Gu Gong's family members are several times more than this.

It can be said that these people are all supported by Yueshan, and the food that is enough for them to eat for half a year can be eaten in only half a month.

However, Yue Shan wasn't very worried about this problem, because he would soon be able to get a batch of food, which would be enough for everyone to eat for a year and a half without any problem.

However, it will take some time for the food to arrive, and we must find a way to survive these few days.As for how to survive these few days... There is no need to worry about facing the sea.

Thinking of this, he already had an idea in his mind: "Regular, how is the production of the new fishing net going?"

"I just researched it a few days ago, and now there are more than a dozen in stock." Liu Ren said.

"Take it all out and hand it over to Master Ren." Yue Shan told him and then said to Master Sun Ren: "From today on, Master Ren, you will guide people to familiarize themselves with new-style fishing nets and specialize in fishing. From now on, the daily food will be changed to one-third of the food and three-thirds of the food." The second is fish."

"Here." The two said in unison.

People say that people rely on mountains to eat mountains, rely on water to drink water, and rely on the sea to starve to death.This is not false at all, especially during the Tang Dynasty.

Is it because the fishery resources in the sea are poor?No, ancient China's coastal fishery resources were very rich, and the legendary four major fishing grounds were simply the four major granaries.

It's a pity that the fishing level is so poor that ordinary people don't even know how to weave nets for fishing.Moreover, ocean fishing is inseparable from boats, and fishing nets and fishing techniques are also useless without light penetration.

Ordinary people can't afford to buy a boat without eating or drinking for a lifetime, so they are really starving to death while guarding the mountains of gold and silver.

As a traverser, Yue Shan didn't come to the seaside, so how could he not extend his hand to the ocean fishery since he came to the seaside.

In his previous life, when he was traveling at the seaside, he visited fishermen fishing and saw those fishing nets.Although I can't name it, I still know the general shape and function.

He found craftsmen who knew how to weave nets, told them his ideas, and let them figure it out by themselves.Later, when there were too many things, I forgot about it, and I only remembered it now.

He could forget it, but Liu Rengui, who was the head of logistics, hadn't forgotten it, and had been paying attention to this matter.It should be said that he kept in mind every special order of Yue Shan and paid close attention to it all the time.

Those craftsmen were pretty good, and it didn't take long to get out the fishing net Yue Shan was talking about.Of course, the main thing is that this thing is a problem of thinking, and there is really no big problem technically.

Now that the net is compiled, take it out and use it, which can just relieve the pressure on food.

As for how to solve the food problem, we will proceed in two steps.

The first step still has to fall on the heads of the big and powerful officials in Yanci County, and they are waiting to copy their homes to continue a wave of lives.

The second step is to wait for the production of the salt field to stabilize... More than a dozen boats of refined salt, which is cheaper than cabbage, are transported to the capital, and food is not a problem at all.On the contrary, that old man Du Yan would beg for food for him.

So everything still has to fall on the Yantian.

Yue Shan brought people to Yantian and met Deng Jian who had been waiting here.

"Yuehou, you are here. Do you think we can start now?" Deng Jian said excitedly.

He ran to this place where the birds don't shit to figure something out, isn't it just for sea salt, for meritorious service.Now it's finally time to see the results, how can you not be happy.

Yue Shan was not in a hurry, but asked someone to set up an incense table and candlelight for three sacrifices.

"This is?" Deng Jian asked suspiciously.

"Worship to Mazu." Yue Shan said.

"Mazu? Is there such a god? Why have I never heard of it?" Deng Jian asked in doubt.

If someone else said that there is a god of Mazu, he would definitely not believe it.But it was Yue Shan who said it, and he dared not believe it.

"Mazu's original name was Lin Mo. She was from the Han Dynasty and lived by the sea since she was a child. She was kind-hearted and helpful. She rescued people who were in shipwreck many times, and later died because of the rescue. Goddess, who protects people who depend on the ocean for their livelihood." Yue Shan said respectfully.

At the same time, he also prayed silently in his heart, Mazu, please forgive me for moving you from the Song Dynasty to the Han Dynasty. For the sake of helping you spread the faith, please forgive me if you don’t remember the faults of villains.

"So that's the case, then I really should pay my respects." Seeing Yue Shan's words have a nose and eyes, Deng Jian said respectfully without any doubts.

Not only him, but Sun Renshi and other sailors also wanted to worship.Including Gu Gong, who was relatively close, also heard about the deeds of the goddess of the sea, and also had the idea of ​​worshiping her.

Again, what was originally just Yue Shan's whim turned into a worship of thousands of people.

After all, it was the first time to worship, and there were not so many rules. Three sticks of incense were put on Yueshan Mountain, and it was over after saying a few words of wishing for good weather and so on.

After the worship was over, Yue Shan said to Deng Jian, "Let's begin."

　Fifth watch, more than 1 words, breaking through my own limit.

　　After coding, there is a full sense of accomplishment, but it is really tiring.

　　For the sake of working so hard, if you have spare votes, please vote for me.please.
