Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 187 To follow or not to follow

Li Shimin's visit did not take a moment's notice.

After looking at the whale skeleton carefully, he asked Qin Xiedao about the details of his trip to Mingzhou.

Qin Xiedao successfully brought a lot of private goods in the process of reporting.

"Okay, I know everything about the situation. There seem to be more and more people visiting here, so I'll go back to the palace first."

At this time, many ministers had already arrived at the scene, or were heading towards the whale skeleton.

Li Shimin still needed to go back to digest what Qin Xiedao said, so he didn't stay any longer.

However, Qin Xiedao was not so lucky.

Those who can arrive at this time are generally living near Suzaku Street, and few of them are fuel-efficient.

I made an appointment...

The whale skeleton that I let people build, I have to stick to it no matter what.

"Xiedao, according to your statement, as long as the coastal states and counties vigorously develop the whaling industry, they can get rid of poverty and become rich?"

Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, looked at Qin Xiedao expectantly.

If you want to say which minister in the court most hopes that all states and counties will become rich, Dai Zhou is definitely on the list.

As Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Dai Zhou knew very well the truth that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs has no money in its hands, so it's hard to do anything.

"This is not absolute, but for a state and county, as long as one whale can be caught a day, it can bring about a very big change.

If two or three can be caught a day, then the economy of the state and county will be revitalized.

Basically, one whale a day can support a whale oil candle workshop, a whale jerky workshop, and several fleets.

Around these things, at least the employment problem of thousands of people can be solved, and behind it is the livelihood problem of the last household.

Although for the entire state, the changes of thousands of households do not represent the changes of the entire state and county.

But economic development is a chain of changes. Once there is a starting point, many changes will follow.

This is only when only one whale can be caught in a day. If several whales can be caught in a day, then the situation is completely different.

Besides, catching whales is only one of the plans. The fleet can also catch sea fish, such as the big yellow croaker, which is not unique to the sea off Mingzhou. There are similar fish schools in other places.

For so many years, few people have gone fishing in the sea, so the number of fish schools in the sea is beyond everyone's imagination.

As long as these things can be utilized, Datang's economic situation will immediately undergo earth-shaking changes. "

When Qin Xie said this, he was not bragging.

The economy of later generations was driven by the development of coastal towns.

It is not necessary for the current Tang Dynasty to fully refer to later generations, nor is it possible to fully refer to it.

However, there is no problem at all in taking advantage of the fishing advantages of coastal states and counties.

"Everyone in Mingzhou already knows how to catch large yellow croakers and whales, but they don't know about other places."

"This is actually very simple, as long as everyone goes to sea a few times in Mingzhou, everything will be clear.

Or go directly to Mingzhou to hire a few sailors, which can also solve the problem.

If you have confidence in yourself, you can directly build a fleet in Dengzhou or Guangzhou based on the content of the "Datang Daily", and you can immediately copy the experience of Mingzhou. "

When Qin Xie said this, he did not deceive Dai Zhou.

Although Zhoushan Fishing Ground is the largest fishing ground in Datang, other places are not comparable.

But in this era, whether it is Jiaozhou Bay, the East China Sea, or the South China Sea, the richness of various fishery resources is definitely not comparable to that of later generations.

With the assistance of the Dengzhou Sun-dried Salt Workshop of the Qin family and the Lingnan Sun-dried Salt Workshop, there is absolutely no problem in developing the fishing industry and whaling industry.

Although it cannot be expected to solve the food problem of the entire Tang Dynasty through fishing, it is not a big problem to solve the food problem in the coastal areas alone.

The most important thing is to earn money by fishing.

Money can naturally buy many things.

The entire Datang economy immediately became active.

"Okay! I will trust you just once, and I will immediately propose a specific promotion plan to His Majesty tomorrow. I must let the states and counties along the coast of Datang solve the poverty problem."

Dai Zhou took a deep look at Qin Xiedao and chose to believe it.

……

"Aye, Qin Xiedao gave all the limelight, and we didn't achieve our goal of getting him to Mingzhou. Now we have to follow them to form a fleet. Isn't it because everything is covered by him? Are you walking by the nose?"

In the Changsun Mansion, Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong, who had just visited the whale skeleton in front of the Daxing Palace, started discussing fishing and whaling when they returned home.

"He Qin Xiedao wants to show such a selfless appearance, this kind of advantage does not take advantage of nothing, what does it have to do with leading the nose?
Chong'er, the main reason we want to suppress Qin Xiedao is to make him listen to us and stop messing around.

But it doesn't mean that we all oppose and avoid everything he creates.

If one day he has a hot head and discloses the technology of making glazed mirrors, then don't we think we can't see it? "

Changsun Wuji has long passed the age of hotheadedness.

In the eyes of the eye, the interests are the most important.

This is how adults should think.

Obviously, with a good vision, he has obviously realized that the fishing and whaling industries are indeed promising.

Whether it is making salted fish or whale oil candles, it is a profitable business.

The most important thing is that these things already have ready-made successful experience to refer to, it is simply a good business tailor-made for their noble families.

To be honest, Changsun Wuji couldn't figure out why Qin Xiedao so generously encouraged everyone to enter this industry.

This will definitely affect the interests of the Qin family.

"Then...then if we send people to Dengzhou and Guangzhou to go fishing and whaling at the same time, we will need a lot of people.

At that time, it may be necessary to establish other workshops such as whale oil workshops, which is equivalent to shifting the focus of our family's development from Guanzhong to other places. "

Chang Sun Chong's worry was not without reason.

Whether it is Dengzhou or Guangzhou, it is not the traditional sphere of influence of the eldest grandson's family.

It is still a little stressful to shift the focus directly to these places.

"At that time, there should be many people from other honorable families going to Dengzhou and Guangzhou. The most urgent thing is that we send people to buy ships first, otherwise it will be embarrassing if some people don't have ships."

Changsun Wuji could almost imagine that the honorable nobles in Chang'an City would definitely not miss this feast.

Datang's fishing and whaling industries are bound to usher in a blowout.

Correspondingly, the demand for ships will reach a new high.
