The history of human whaling is extremely long.

As early as ancient times, the Eskimos near the Arctic Circle, including the Northern Indians of Northern Canada, began whaling to obtain large quantities of meat and fuel.

When China was a long time ago, there was a history of whaling in coastal areas, but historical changes, China's exploration of the ocean is declining, not to mention whaling, small broken ships can not take out a few, I have to say, this is a historical regression.

At this time, in the whole world, the whaling industry was also a small workshop type of petty luck, far from the scale of the mid-to-early 20th century.

Including the big whale caught by the Haicheng fishing team at this time, it was pure luck, the whale was stranded, and the guys of the fishing team took the sheep by the hand.

But the guys are still a little confused.

"Dashuai, this, can this big guy eat it......"

After Xu Changqing carefully inspected the huge whale, a one-armed steward led by the fishing team hurriedly stepped forward and asked Xu Changqing in a low voice, revealing fear in his excitement, but it was not the fear of Xu Changqing, but the fear of the big whale.

This guy is a veteran of the model army who has retired, the old Liaomin was born, he has followed Xu Changqing as early as Songjin, and he was already the general before retiring, if he was not injured back then, he is afraid that he has now entered the ranks of senior officers of the model army, and he can be mixed into the staff layer at the worst.

Xu Changqing also knows him, this guy likes to play with knives the most in his life, and he is nicknamed 'Wang Yidao'.

Seeing that Wang Yidao used to kill Tartars on the battlefield, but now he was so cute, Xu Changqing kicked his ass angrily: "Knife, you haven't been retired for two years, right?" How? Soak in the women's pile every day, and the knife can't be held? ”

"Forehead ......"

Wang Yidao blushed, but he was instantly relieved, and regained the intimacy he had when he was by Xu Changqing's side, and couldn't help scratching the back of his head and smirking: "Dashuai, you, you have misunderstood your humble position." If you want to kill a Tartar, there is absolutely no second word about lowly duty, and now you can go into battle with a knife. But, but this big guy ...... Dashuai, to be honest, not only is there no bottom in his position, but there is also no bottom in the hearts of the brothers......"

Around, the stewards who were more or less physically disabled also looked at Xu Changqing with some embarrassment.

Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile.

In fact, this is also human nature.

After all, the sea is too huge, not to mention that at this time, even with the developed level of science and technology in later generations, the marine area that is really explored and the species that are understood are only one hundred and two.

There has always been a saying in Huaxia: "All things have spirits." ”

As small as every plant and tree has spirits, let alone huge creatures like whales.

Even Wang Yidao and these retired model soldiers are like this, you can imagine the state of the people.

"Knife, who did you find this whale?"

Xu Changqing smiled and kicked Wang again, but threw him a cigar again, and he ordered one slowly.

Wang Yidao suddenly felt like a treasure, hurriedly lit the cigar carefully, took a beautiful breath, and greeted with a throat: "Xiaohai, where is Xiaohai?" Didn't you hear the big handsome? ”

In a moment, a young man in the crowd with a hideous scar on his face and a little mustard hair, but still very young, hurriedly stepped forward and fell to the ground on one knee respectfully, "Dashuai, yes, it was the first ...... of the humble job to discover."

Seeing Xiao Hai's appearance, Xu Changqing couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Just looking at the outline of Xiaohai's face, this guy must have been a handsome little brother back then, but unfortunately, the traces left by the war made him almost disfigured......

However, the aftermath of the model army's aftermath work is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best in the world at this time.

Wang Yidao and Xiaohai retired from the front line of the model army and soon joined the fishing team, and to a large extent, the treatment was even better than when they served in the model army.

Haicheng's fishing team at this time was basically divided into several large pieces.

Li Youwei under the next wave, Wu Sanmei under the next wave, Chu Xue, Xian'er, Gu Hengbo, Tang Yu, they also have some shares.

Although it is divided into more than a dozen large and small commercial houses, it is still one in its bones.

It is the Wu family and the Li family who have always wanted to meddle in this industry, but they have never succeeded, and they have always been firmly controlled by Xu Changqing.

This is the core lifeblood of Haicheng!

patted Xiao Hai on the shoulder, threw him another cigar, and when he lit it, took a puff, relieved his mind, and was no longer so nervous, Xu Changqing asked: "Xiao Hai, when you found this big guy, did it die?" ”

Xiao Hai hurriedly said: "Dashuai, you are not dead, you are sure that you are not dead." This big guy was trapped on a reef at the time, still struggling for his life, and he took a dozen brothers with him, and all kinds of means were used, so he finally got killed. Dashuai, look at this ......."

As he spoke, Xiao Hai hurriedly beckoned the surrounding people and flipped the big guy over with a rope.

Soon, Xu Changqing saw that there were a large number of hideous wounds around the dorsal fin on the top of this whale, including the flank, which also caused the surrounding onlookers to exclaim, which was a bit too amazing.

It is the existence of these wounds that causes this whale to smell so much.

Xu Changqing nodded slowly: "How many days did it take you to get it back?" ”

Xiao Hai hurriedly said: "Dashuai, let's start a day." We found this big guy not far from the deep sea on our way back, and we also led a shark chase for it, but unfortunately the boat was full, otherwise we could have brought back a few more sharks......"

Xu Changqing smiled and nodded: "The sea is a treasure trove." Most of the fish in this sea are edible. This whale is no exception. Knife, you, go up and try your hand, let Lao Tzu see if you have been lazy in the past few years! ”

"Good come!"

Hearing Xu Changqing's order, Wang Yidao also came to his senses, and rushed over with his knife.

"Poof!"

In a moment, Wang's one-armed crab-like posture had already inserted a sharp knife into the whale's body, and he soon cut off a large piece of meat.

Everyone immediately stepped forward to check curiously, and pinched it, and soon, they couldn't stop cheering.

"Dashuai, this thing can be eaten, it can definitely be eaten, and it is still fresh."

Not far away, Zhu Yujiao saw that Xu Changqing had already mingled with the fierce men of the fishing team in a short time, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a delicate smile.

I don't know why, the more she looks at Xu Changqing, the more handsome she feels, and she subconsciously gently strokes her lower abdomen.

Being able to meet Xu Changqing is really the greatest luck in her life.

Next to him, Zhang Baozhu's beautiful eyes are becoming more and more complicated.

This man seems to have a kind of magic in his body, and he is born to control people's hearts.

It's just that...... I don't know if the existence of this man is good or bad for Da Ming......

……

After staying here for half an hour, it was completely dark, and Xu Changqing took Zhang Baozhu and Zhu Yujiao to Haicheng Hotel for dinner.

If it weren't for the fact that these two beauties were here, Xu Changqing would probably be able to chat with Wang Yidao and Xiaohai all night tonight.

The main reason is that the appearance of this whale really allowed Xu Changqing to find a new method, which is no less than thousands or tens of thousands of poured fertile land.

In later generations, the little devil once had a saying, saying: "Most of the animal protein they consume on weekdays comes from whale meat rather than beef." ”

At this time, the Mayflower had only arrived in the New World for more than 20 years, and the future powerful United States did not even have an outline.

In Europe, whaling is just budding at this time, and it is far from rising, which is definitely a super blue ocean of 'every inch of land and every inch of gold'!

How could Xu Changqing give up this opportunity?

This can not only greatly strengthen the physical fitness of Haicheng, including the entire Ming people, and create a lot of wealth, but also increase the Han nation's ability to explore the ocean, cultivate the martial spirit, and thus bring the entire basic dribbling alive!

In the future, in terms of the whaling industry, there will be no Europeans, Mi people and little devils.

The key is that at this time, after the continuous development of many fishing teams in Haicheng in recent years, as long as they guide and train a little, they can be fully qualified for whaling operations.

However, Xu Changqing has not yet recovered from the grand blueprint of the future, but he is facing the cold and solemn pretty face of Queen Zhou.

In the luxurious and low-key luxury suite of Haicheng Hotel, not only Queen Zhou was there at this time, but also Yuan Guifei, and the little princess Zhaoren was like a little kangaroo shrunk in the arms of the kangaroo mother, looking at Xu Changqing and his party curiously but with some fear.

Empress Zhou definitely didn't dare to accuse Xu Changqing in public, but she didn't prevent her from expressing her dissatisfaction with this matter through other means.

Xu Changqing only glanced at it and understood Queen Zhou's thoughts, but as if nothing happened, he smiled and said: "Queen Mother, I had some official business just now, and I delayed for a while, so please Haihanna." ”

Seeing Xu Changqing's attitude, Queen Zhou couldn't help but sigh faintly in her heart, Xu Changqing must be trying to suppress the matter.

He could only force a smile and said: "Uncle Zhongyi, you are the pillar of the country, and there are some things that you can just let the people below do." Be sure to take good care of yourself. ”

Seeing that Queen Zhou revealed the matter, Zhu Yujiao spit out her little fragrant tongue at Xu Changqing coquettishly, and the whole person became more and more cheerful.

Soon, as the food and drinks were served, the atmosphere in the room began to become more relaxed and lively.

The standard and standard of Haicheng Hotel is extremely high.

At this time, there are not only many famous chefs from all over the world in Beijing, but also more in Shandong, especially with the advantage of the fishing team, the various seafood dishes of Haicheng Hotel can definitely be said to be the best in the entire Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Xu Changqing set up the service process completely in accordance with the standards of five-star hotels in later generations, which not only made people feel at home, but even more comfortable than when Queen Zhou and them were in the palace, and it was not wasted.

Of course, this level of service is certainly not low......

The cost of a top-level private room like this basically starts at 100 taels.

If you eat something better, something rare, then you don't count.

However, it is precisely because of this that all the merchants who come to Haicheng are proud to come to Haicheng Hotel for a big meal.

This also makes Haicheng Hotel extremely prosperous, and it is also a place for all kinds of high-end news to spread.

As the atmosphere became more and more comfortable, Queen Zhou, Yuan Guifei, Zhang Baozhu and others all drank a little wine, and Zhu Yujiao also wanted to try it, but she was finally seized by Queen Zhou.

However, although Zhu Yujiao knew that what Queen Zhou said was right, she was still aggrieved and angry at Xu Changqing, and kept making small movements against Xu Changqing under the table, either pinching Xu Changqing or twisting it.

This made Queen Zhou and the others a little speechless.

Xu Changqing's doting on Zhu Yujiao is a bit boundless......

After eating, Zhu Yujiao began to coquettish with Xu Changqing again, she didn't want to go back to sleep tonight, she had to live in the Haicheng Hotel, and she wanted to live in the legendary sea-view suite.

Xu Changqing had already prepared for this, and was busy asking people to arrange it.

Zhang Baozhu originally wanted to go back, but before he could speak, he was pulled away by Zhu Yujiao.

Empress Zhou and Concubine Yuan were also leaving, but Xu Changqing smiled: "Queen Mother, Concubine Niangniang, don't worry for the time being, the minister has some things to discuss with the two of you." ”

Yuan Guifei was suddenly slightly embarrassed.

She understands her position very well at this time, to put it bluntly, she has something to eat and a place to live, so she and Zhaoren can live, which is already amazing, how dare she say more on some core issues?

But Xu Changqing obviously didn't let her go, and she had no choice but to be a little cautious and let the maid take Zhaoren down to rest first.

Queen Zhou was also a little stunned, and she didn't quite understand why she brought Yuan Guifei when talking about the core matter, but Xu Changqing had already said it, and she didn't seem to be able to refute it again, so she could only accept it first.
