Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 534 Hope and Destruction

The three men are cousins, they are connected by flesh and blood, and they are all working in the Dengzhou Navy now.

The Liangshan Army swept the north, south, east, and west, and the Lu division won consecutive battles, gaining a reputation far and wide.Except for the bloody battle in Shigou Town that year, the Navy has no record.Even in the conquest of Goryeo, all the credit was given to the army.

They didn't seem to fight much, but the wind came and went in the rain, the sea was turbulent, and the waves rolled. If they were not careful, the ship would be destroyed and people would be killed. The danger was actually higher than that of the army.

In Lu Qian's eyes, the status of the navy is no less than that of the army, because it is a technical arm, and its average monthly salary can even be compared with that of the cavalry.

People like this say that a daughter-in-law should be sure of everything, as long as she doesn't cling too much, she can get what she wants.But it happened that one of the three brothers ran into something unsatisfactory.It's not that the person he likes hates the poor and loves the rich, but that his job is too dangerous.It was the one who was transferred to the whaling team at the beginning of the year. He went out to sea to hunt whales in February, and in less than three months, he has received fifty or sixty dividends in his hands.

This was something worth showing off, but because of this, the woman's family rejected the bride price and ruined a marriage for nothing.Calling that man a cure for embarrassment and extreme depression.The two elder brothers both came back with him, and they rushed to this marriage, and they didn't want this to be the result.Recently, I dragged my brother out to relax.

Naturally, Jin Fushi couldn't understand the details, but just listening to the information revealed in the words of the three brothers made him feel lost.The unsatisfactory one is the one who can make the most money among the three brothers, because he belongs to the whaling team, and the monthly dividend is more than ten.

What number is this?

Jin Fushi would not be ignorant of the fact that Liang Shanjun was the one who got the most of the profits from whaling, but after Liang Shanjun ate meat, he could drink soup to make such small soldiers so profitable, which really weighed him down heavily.Alexander!

Of course, Jin Fushi also thought of whaling in his mind.That big whale grows in the sea and is naturally raised in the sea. It is not something that only people from the Central Plains can catch.

If so, he walked out of the teahouse very happily, just taking a short rest, but he didn't want to hear about such matters.He had already heard about the whaling, but he didn't take it seriously, he only thought about it like fishing in the sea.Anyway, small boats catch small fish, and big boats catch big fish.Never thought it would be so profitable!
A small soldier can earn more than ten pennies a month, but how much can the captain of the ship get?There are one or two hundred people on a boat, and I'm afraid they won't get two or three thousand per month.And what about the Liangshan army who took the big head?

It is still unknown how many whalers the Liangshan Army has in total.Not to mention anything else, there are only ten ships, and the monthly income is 10,000+ Guan or more, easily over a million Guan in a year.

The Central Plains is vast and abundant, and millions of dollars still dare not be ignored.Goryeo is poor and the country is weak, and the wealth of millions of pennies is ten times greater.If Wang Shang had an extra million guan in wealth, it would only take three or two years to rebuild the second army and six guards, and restore the majesty of the emperor.

Jin Fushi was so excited, he intuitively found a shortcut.But it is not clear that the reason why Liang Shanjun's whaling is extremely profitable is because a complete chain of interests has already been established in the country.

Although the whale meat is cheap, is it meat?If it is not pickled in time, it can only wait to rot and deteriorate.

And how can the current Korea have enough workshops and factories to deal with it?
After all, fresh whale meat can only be sold at the port, and if it is to be transported inland, it depends on cured meat and canned food.

Moreover, the whale oil produced by whales can not only be used for lighting, but also an important industrial oil.It can be used in tanning industry, also in tempering bath (for steelmaking) and as lubricant, etc.

So not only the metallurgical industry needs this product, but also windmills, water conservancy equipment, animal power equipment, etc. that have spread all over Qilu. Even the civil and military officials and schools in various places often order large quantities of whale oil.

Take Guozijian and Wulueyuan as examples. Both of them often have places with lights day and night.The former is more of a library, and the latter is not only a library, but also a deduction room and other places, and even a school field.The amount of whale oil to be purchased every month is as much as dozens of stones.

These are a whole chain of interests, which make the value of whales more fully reflected, which is also called maximizing interests.

But what about Korea?
If you see a whale, maybe you will buy one out of curiosity.But no matter how cheap meat is, it is more expensive than food. Just like Korea, can Jin Fushi really be sure that his people can buy other whale meat frequently?
It must be known that even in the Liangshan army, the main target of whale meat sales is the increasingly large Liangshan army.Lu Qian remembered that one of the reasons why people hunted whaling was to solve the shortage of meat in the army.But what about the Koryo Army?When did they get the treatment of eating meat regularly?
The entire forage field is full of shopkeepers, carrying loads, pushing carts, and selling all kinds of groceries.A piece of prosperity.

After Jin Fushi watched it an hour earlier, he would definitely feel a lot of emotion.Now there is a kind of lofty ambition of "he can do it and I can do it".

"Brother, look at this bird man. It's because my eyes are stupid, and I feel that this guy's footsteps are much lighter."

At the unremarkable stall behind Jin Fushi, a man in a rough jacket suddenly said to the stall owner.The latter stared at Jin Fushi long ago, and said after hearing the voice: "It's not that my brother is blind, I also feel the same way. This birdman left his two companions and wandered around. Didn't he realize it?"

After several months of close monitoring, people from their security department could see Jin Fushi drinking alone on the moon with a sad expression on his face many times.This is an unwavering patriot.

"Brother was joking. This guy is a long-term lover." said the man in the rough cloth and short clothes.

But there is another reason for this.Earlier, Jin Fushi had an affair with a Yuefu singer.

Lu Qian hated the name of Jiaofangsi very much. This name made him easily associate with four words - *** girl.Although it is actually an ancient court music institution, it specializes in the teaching and performance of court folk music.But the deepest impression it gave Lu Qian was that 'wife and daughter were demoted to Jiaofang Secretary'.Therefore, although the Liangshan army killed and cut off the heads of countless corrupt officials, profiteers and evil gentry, they ransacked their homes and exterminated their families frequently.But he never used married women and daughters as military tricks. If so, the Jiaofang Division was cut off from the root at Lu Qian.

But the absence of the Kobo Division does not mean that there are no kabuki fans in the market. On the contrary, the result of the disaster of many wealthy families is that many high-quality newcomers have been added to the entertainment industry everywhere.

It is also because there are no vocal music, singing and dancing in the banquets of high officials or palace banquets in this era, which is really outrageous.But Liang Shanjun's start was too grassroots, how could this Yuefu be established overnight?It can only be filled by selecting industry elites from the entertainment industry.

This is not to say that it only belongs to the Yuefu, but it is included in the Yuefu recruitment sequence, just like those film and television singers in later generations of national units, who have flourished in the entertainment circle, and now the Yuefu song The trick is just that degrees of freedom are more powerful.

Jin Fushi may be a romantic person, or it may be that he is lonely and cold in a foreign country. If he had a fierce fight with a kabuki in Yidu City a few years ago, it is like glue.The latter was really not a spy of the Intelligence Department, but Jin Fushi took the initiative to bully him.It's just that this woman's life was not good, she caught wind and cold in winter, and she passed away from the illness.

Jin Fushi was very sad, and he was even more sad for things and everyone, so far he has become clean and self-sufficient.

The intelligence department is well aware of this, if the woman hadn't died early, she would have been contacted by the intelligence department.And because of this, that person also said that Jin Fushi is a long-term lover.

When Jin Fushi came to a salesman, he thought about whaling in his heart, so he didn't feel that he had walked to a stall selling whale meat.The latter is a new food in Qilu, which is easy to carry and easy to make.But it was a method passed down from the army. It is impossible for Lu Qian to use the method of pork jerky in later generations to make whale jerky.

Among other things, pepper is not enough, and sugar is also not enough, so the taste is naturally far inferior to that of later generations.Besides, whale meat is also different from pork.But it was finally able to enter.

Jin Fushi has eaten whale meat, but he has only eaten it.I only took one bite, and I didn't want a second bite.No one will put away delicious food and eat rotten fish and stinky shrimp instead.

But now his mood is different.Picking up the goods on the pick and smelling them, there was no strong fishy smell of other seafood, so he asked the shopkeeper with a Tokyo accent: "Where is this jerky from?"

The peddler looked up and saw that Jin Fushi's clothes were not vulgar, and he had an extraordinary bearing, so he asked suspiciously, "So that the master will know that this jerky is baked in a villain's house." Dried meat with no spices, but not angry.Even if this official is here to amuse him, can he gather some popularity for the stall?

Jin Fushi took out a handful of copper coins from his bosom. Lu Qian had already minted gold and silver coins, and then casting copper rounds and copper horns was a matter of course. Considering the amount of copper coins in circulation in the world, the latter can be postponed temporarily.The auxiliary coins circulating in the market today are still made by Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Jin Fushi took out maybe twenty or thirty copper coins, and half of them were worth ten coins.Although under Lu Qi's rule, the ten coins had already been cut off at the waist, but this handful of copper coins was not small to a small stall, it was enough to weigh several catties of dried meat.The shopkeeper smiled, and when Jin Fushi asked about some things later, he knew everything and said everything.

This whale meat is the fresh meat he bought at Laizhou port. Yidu is located inland, and there is still a short two hundred miles to the sea.But driving his own donkey cart, he can transport three to five hundred catties of meat from the sea at a time; he must bring his own food on the road.Although the cost has increased, it is not large.

If it is winter, this kind of fresh meat can be transported directly back to Yidu; now it is not possible, but as long as you are willing to use salt, it will be safe.

Whale meat is cheap, less than ten yuan per catty; dried meat costs half a catty per catty, and the cost price is less than thirty yuan.In the first month of this freshly baked product, you can buy it for 31 yuan a catty, and in the next month you can buy it for [-] yuan a catty. If there is any leftover in March, it will guarantee the capital of [-] catties.

Jin Fushi frowned suddenly, but he was worried about one thing.Whale meat is only ten yuan a catty and not enough, so he is full of confidence in it, believing that even if the people of Koryo are poor, they can still afford it.But salt.

When the hawker spoke, the most important thing was to remind him of one thing - preservation of fresh meat.

From Yidu to Laizhou, the short [-]-mile road is not enough, and a large amount of salt is needed to pickle and preserve. In Koryo... the salt in Koryo is not cheap.

For a while, Jin Fushi was in a mess.He found that what he had just thought was too simple, and the expectation of "assisting the king and revitalizing Korea" seemed to be far away...
