Yang Chengye waited outside the line with a fish basket. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Inside the basket is the Long Island abalone that the fishermen have just caught from Long Island.

Before the barbarians entered the customs, Nagashima was a fishing area for Dengju fishermen, but since then, Nagashima has been frequented by Goryeo sailors because of the Nagashima abalone.

The abalone in this ocean has always been known for its deliciousness, and abalone caught along the coast was often sent to the palace as a tribute, and Long Island abalone was often selected to be sent to the palace as a royal tribute.

The emperor and concubines of the Great Chongqing Kingdom love to eat, and the king and concubines of Goryeo also love to eat, before that, the fishermen of the two sides often clashed near this Long Island, but after Goryeo became a vassal state of the barbarians, they no longer had any scruples, and directly sent sailors to drive away and kill the fishermen of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

The fishermen of Dengzhou were sad but there was nothing they could do, because there was no decent sailor in this Dengzhou land, and until now they finally saw the abalone on Long Island again.

Behind Yang Chengye was also followed by the fishermen who went to sea this time, and after sending the abalone to the government, these people must follow Yang Chengye to thank King Qi.

Over the years, these fishermen have lived very aggrieved, this gate is the sea, but they are either being bullied by the Japanese or the Koreans, today's battle at sea has made these fishermen excited and tearful, and now they finally feel a feeling of being protected.

"Yang Tingshi, please." The servant came back from Xiao Ming and said.

Yang Chengye said to the people at this time: "Everyone come in with me, His Highness is inside." ”

The fishermen nodded, and followed Yang Chengye into the temporary Xingyuan, where he saw Xiao Ming who was waiting.

"Your Highness."

"Kowtow to His Royal Highness King Qi."

When Yang Chengye bowed and saluted, the fishermen were about to kneel down and kowtow, at this time Xiao Ming stepped forward to help the old man in front of him up, and said: "Although my Great Chongqing Kingdom has been repeatedly bullied by foreigners, and now it is gradually weakening, but since the founding of Gaozu, the people do not need to kneel to the royal family, everyone get up." ”

The old man standing at the front had a thin body, his skin was a little dark because of the perennial blowing of the sea breeze, and his wrinkled face still had a trace of sadness, at this time his face was excited, "Your Highness, I waited to send you Long Island abalone, in the past, this Long Island abalone was a tribute to the imperial court, how many years have we not dared to go to Long Island, thank you Your Highness for our Dengzhou fishermen." “

"The old man's words are outside, it is the duty of this king to protect the people of the fiefdom and let everyone go to the sea to fish freely, so why thank you." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

The old man's thin palms rubbed against each other, "That being said, only His Highness can give us fishermen shelter, and now everyone is very grateful to His Highness in their hearts, and we can only express our hearts if we come to thank Your Highness in person." “

"Your will is received by this king, and it is the responsibility of everyone to protect the family and defend the country, up to the doctor, down to Mrs. Pi, if you don't send your son into this navy, where will this king's soldiers operate the warship, so thank you, this king will also thank you." Xiao Ming seemed approachable, and his words made the faces of the fishermen full of simple smiles.

The old man looked pleased, he turned his head to the people behind him and said: "It is said that His Royal Highness loves the people like a son, and it is true that when I saw it today, everyone will have a good life in the future." ”

The other fishermen nodded their heads.

Yang Chengye's eyes flashed with excitement, these fishermen in Dengzhou are the most powerful group of people, fighting against the Japanese at sea, selling illicit salt, and they are very bold.

During the years of Dengzhou's rule, his biggest headache was these fishermen, and when he recruited these fishermen for the sake of fishing, many fishermen still ridiculed them, and some even bluntly said that the fishing boat was not enough to plug the teeth of Gaoli.

Now that they saw the fleet of Dengju chopping melons and vegetables and cleaning up the Goryeo warships, these fishermen almost jumped with excitement one by one.

"Uncle Dong, this Highness has also seen it, and now it's time for His Highness to taste this Long Island abalone." Yang Chengye said with a smile at this time.

"Yes, yes." The old man known as Old Uncle Dong said with a smile, "Your Highness, so I won't bother you and say goodbye." ”

"Slow down, everyone." Xiao Ming smiled and arched his hand, the people have their own scales in their hearts, and they can come over to thank Xiao Ming in person, which shows that Xiao Ming is becoming more and more popular in Dengzhou.

The reaction of the people is itself a barometer of the effectiveness of its governance.

After the people left, Yang Chengye said to Xiao Ming: "Congratulations to Your Highness for winning the hearts of the people and winning abalone." ”

Xiao Ming's face was strange when he heard this, he always felt that this sentence was a little strange, looking at Yang Chengye's serious appearance, he said: "Don't be a sycophant, this Dengzhou can have such an atmosphere today and your credit, stay and eat this Long Island abalone together this night." “

Yang Chengye was swirling when he heard this, his best thing was this mouthful, and it was because of this that he chose to be an official in Dengzhou at the beginning.

Unable to resist this huge temptation, Yang Chengye nodded, "Your Highness, in addition to this abalone, the fishermen have also caught a lot of fish this time, and they will be sent soon, it is not easy for Your Highness to go to Dengzhou, this time you will enjoy the delicious food in the sea, but this is also thanks to Your Highness, if there is no trawl net for Your Highness, the fishing boat will not be able to catch such a fish at all, these fishermen can admire Your Highness very much for this, they said that if there is a large fishing boat with trawls, a village will not have to worry about food and clothing." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, this trawl is the modern way of ocean fishing, this trawl is a fishing net in the shape of a net, which he taught Yang Chengye.

This kind of fishing net is dragged by fishing boats on the sea, and now his fishing boats are all nets made of this kind of rope, and he can catch many fish at one time.

Compared with traditional fishing and netting, trawling directly increases the fishing efficiency by dozens of times.

"In that case, you can tell them that the price of the king's merchant ships is clearly marked, and if they want to buy them, the king can sell them to them." Xiao Ming said with a deep groan.

"Sell to fishermen?" Yang Chengye asked incredulously.

"That's right, the development of Dengzhou's fishery still depends on a large number of fishermen, and the power of the masses is strong, otherwise relying on this king's fishing boats will not be able to meet the market of Dayu at all." Xiao Ming said.

For him, the next step is to revitalize the economy of the fiefdom, and to make the economy lively, it is necessary to open up private capital.

This fishing should be opened, the production of other commodities should also be opened, only profitable, get vital benefits the people will put all their enthusiasm into business, Qingzhou's business will really live, business will live, the people will have money.

Having money boosted consumption, which led to the further development of industry and at the same time provided a large amount of tax revenue for the fiefdoms.
