Chapter 53 Economic Development of Dragonstone
Let’s not talk about the right and wrong in King’s Landing, and turn to Dragonstone.
The three islands of Blackwater Bay, led by Dragonstone, are now busy with infrastructure construction!
As ships of gold were delivered, yes, due to the intervention of Salador Saan, the small pirates could not compete with the Saan family at all, and could only be forced to roll inward.
They did not dare to start a price war for the time being, fearing that Dragonstone would not admit it and they would suffer losses, so they came up with a clever idea and proposed the so-called door-to-door delivery service.
This is an FOB price and a CIF price, of course, Jaehaerys said I want the cheapest!
Originally, both parties agreed to trade in the middle waters, but Saan found several times that his peers had no bottom line and delivered directly to Dragonstone!
So he immediately followed up, officially kicking off the prelude to the involution of the pirates of the Stepstones!
As the pirates rolled inward, Dragonstone was also working overtime to turn them into golden dragons, and then buy shiploads of supplies from the mainland...
Originally, the merchants in the King's Territory and Seagull Town were half-hidden, but as the first merchant who tried the trick suddenly became rich, everyone saw boxes of golden dragons being unloaded from the ship, and they could no longer sit still.
The wealthy merchants or representatives of the lords invited Lucerys Velaryon and Earl Adrian Celtigar to a banquet, treating them with the highest courtesy, and did not regard them as rebels at all. For a time, the two became the most popular people in the King's Territory and some places in the Vale.
Later, a large number of merchants flocked to Dragonstone to grab the order share of Dragonstone, and they sent whatever was needed...
With sufficient supplies and personnel, Jaehaerys immediately built large murex breeding ponds on Chaotou Island and Crab Island.
With the experience of Dragonstone, the speed was faster this time, and it was put into production soon. It is expected that the first batch of "Scarlet Purple" dye will be harvested by this time next year.
At the same time, under Jaehaerys's proposal, some warships of the royal fleet were retired, and the condition of the ships was evaluated. Those that were really outdated were dismantled.
Those that could still be used were repaired and handed over to the newly established Narrow Sea Ocean Fishing Company.
The latter was also Jaehaerys's proposal. After experiencing various capital baptisms on Blue Star, he certainly understood the potential of the company system and there was no reason not to copy it.
The company's total share capital was 10,000 gold dragons, which were subscribed by the lords, knights, and servants on their own. Those that could not be subscribed would continue to be raised from the public.
Jaehaerys would not tell them about the future prospects, nor would he paint a rosy picture for them. If they were willing to subscribe, they would pay the money. If they were unwilling to subscribe, Jaehaerys would pack them all.
The result was that most people had a negative attitude towards new things, which was normal, so the Targaryen family contracted most of the shares, almost to the point of privatization.
However, a small part of the shares were subscribed by the inner guards, fleet soldiers and civilians. This was not the result of forced apportionment, but their recognition of the Targaryen family and Prince Jaehaerys.
When Jaehaerys knew about it, he smiled knowingly. If these people were not developed, it would be unfair!
After evaluation and calculation, about 10 small and medium-sized retired ships can be used after repair, which is equivalent to injecting at least 30,000 gold dragons into the ocean fishing company!
Jaehaerys did not recalculate the capital according to the practice of Blue Star, but still calculated it according to the original proportion, which is equivalent to paying dividends to shareholders in advance!
And those who were on the sidelines, hesitant, and retreated at that time, all slapped their... wives' thighs swollen!
"You have long hair and short vision. Look at how rich others are. If it weren't for you..."
Countless people regretted it too late, of course, their regrets are still behind.
It's not enough to have a boat alone. Jaehaerys once again played the principle of voluntariness and recruited offshore workers for the ocean fishing company. Their main job is fishing.
The fishing company provides accommodation, a fixed salary of 5 silver deer per month, and a certain bonus at the end of each month based on the catch.
This treatment is not good, but it is definitely less risky than going out to sea to fish.
The fishing village under Longshan has to overturn several fishing boats every year, and their wives have to go to the seafood market to feed the hungry children and the elderly at home.
Now joining the fishing company means that they can have a guaranteed income regardless of drought or flood, and even if something really happens at sea, the family can still get a pension.
As for whether this fishing company can catch fish? How much can it catch? Who will it sell to?
What does it have to do with them? They don't have the heart to think so much, that's the problem for the Wang family to think about!
Soon, the newly-launched fishing company set off on a sunny day. Ten fishing boats are really not a small number. Under the guidance of retired Wang family fleet soldiers and old fishermen, they went to the deep sea to find fish schools.
After finding the fish school, put down the modified large trawl net.
As mentioned before, the Blackwater River brings a huge amount of silt and nutrients every year, and the warm current brought by the summer sea converges here, forming a huge fishing ground from Cape Marseille in the south to the Five Finger Peninsula in the north.
Ordinary coastal fishermen cannot reach here, and those who can reach it do not care about the income from fishing! Therefore, for thousands of years, the abundance of fish here has reached an appalling level!
As the winch twists, the trawl net is slowly pulled up! The old fishermen can't bear to take their eyes off it!
A large number of sea fish are caught in the net, and several tons of sea fish are caught in one net!
The interior of the cabin was transformed into a huge warehouse. Due to the cold weather and a large amount of ice cubes placed in the warehouse in advance, the freshly caught sea fish was frozen into a hard lump when thrown in.
For some high-value catches, such as eels, marlin, lobsters, etc., they will also arrange for manual processing on site. Those that should be gilled will be gilled, those that should be gutted will be gutted, and those that should be raised in wooden barrels will be placed in wooden bucket.
There's a place for everyone on the ship.
As time passed, the fleet returned fully loaded!
When the fleet returned to port and opened the warehouse, everyone was excited!
In the final weighing, the ten boats caught more than 100 tons of fish!
After people were happy, they began to worry about the disposal of the catch. With so much fish, the army couldn't finish it!
But Jaehaerys came to the scene immediately and directed people to put shellfish and some small fish into the snail breeding pond. These hungry conchs immediately started to eat. This was still winter and their activity dropped significantly. If it were summer...
But after all, the murex couldn't digest so many catches, and most of them were transported by Jaehaerys to the fish processing factory inside Longshan.
Here, depending on the type of catch, it is cut, sliced, and made into dried fish, grilled fillets, or canned fish.
The temperature inside Longshan allows the fish to be dried quickly, then placed on the iron plate and slowly baked using the ground heat, and it quickly becomes delicious grilled fish fillets.
Canning fish is also very simple. Fill a clay pot with fish and salt water, seal the opening with cork and wax to prevent air from entering, and the fish can be preserved for a long time.
These primary processed fish products were taken away by merchants from various places and sold to the interior of Westeros, where they became delicacies on the tables of nobles and common people.
As the scale of the transaction expanded, this model soon extended to Chaotou Island, Crab Island and even radiated to Crab Claw Peninsula. The nobles and most common people in these places benefited from it, so everyone eventually became Tangge. A fan of Leanne.
Unknowingly, Dragonstone has penetrated their economy. Even if Robert orders it, some people may disobey it.
The most obvious thing is that many bankrupt farmers, handicraftsmen, and businessmen now do not beg, go into exile, or borrow poisonous loans to quench their thirst as before. Instead, they find the recruitment office of Dragonstone Island at the dock and go to Dragonstone Island or other places. Working on two islands!
Because they know that the three islands of Blackwater Bay are short of a large number of workers and fishermen all year round. As long as they get there, they will not have to worry about food and drink and can also save a fortune!
